Love that statement..." when has any song that means anything won an award?" So true and so sad.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell wrote ROOSTER about his father's experiences in Vietnam and when Jerry saw his dad in the audience at one of their shows when AIC opened for Iggy Pop, and Jerry asked Layne (and the guys) to play ROOSTER and they did. It was the first time Jerry's dad heard Jerry's music and knew that his son understood him through that song. It brought Jerry and his dad closer together. And Layne had a vital part in that reunion. (Meanwhile Layne's own biological father was an opportunist).
Jerry's dad was nicknamed Rooster when he was a kid and his hairstyle resembled that of a rooster comb. Although, maybe he used rooster as a call sign during his military career. But he didn't earn the nickname in the military, he had the nickname back when he was a kid.
Jerry Cantrell, Sr had multiple tours in Vietnam and like most Vietnam vets, he didn't talk about it. The most he ever said about it was at the beginning of the official video for ROOSTER which he agreed to be a part of after hearing the song. Like all kids who hate their parents, Jerry Cantrell was no different. He was staying in a small guest room in Chris Cornell's house (Cornell was married to AIC manager Susan Silver) and the guest room had a tiny window. He was staying there and thought about what his dad may have experienced and wrote the lyrics.
They demoed ROOSTER and WOULD? when they spent two days working on the acoustic songs for the SAP EP. The songs on SAP and those two songs were demoed using the money Cameron Crowe gave them for recording WOULD? for the SINGLES movie. Layne sang the hell out of WOULD? and ROOSTER.
The harmony in the beginning and end on the album is Ann Wilson of Heart, but Layne does the harmonies on the official video and live versions perfectly.
The Unplugged show in 1996 is so heartbreaking to watch because he was deep in his heroin addiction (and yes, I know he was doing other drugs on top of Heroin). His liver was damaged from the years of drug use. He was just high enough to do the show so he didn't get dope sick and chase away withdrawal symptoms. He was such a ghost of himself during Unplugged. (Of course, Jerry had food poisoning) All Jerry saw when he looked over at Layne was his best friend was going to die soon due to the path Layne had taken with his life. That show was filmed in April, 1996, premiered in May 1996. They did four shows with KISS in June-July 1996, after which Layne survived an overdose and became a recluse. After that, it was a six-year-long slow suicide.
With Unplugged... Sean Kinney (drummer) and Mike Inez (bass player) argued with Jerry about whether Layne could even pull off the high notes in some of the songs in his condition, which is why Jerry gave them that “I told you so” smirk after Layne hit that long, high note in DOWN IN A HOLE. He did the same thing again when Layne hit a high note in ROOSTER.
Layne was one of the few singers who was always better live than studio version. The fact that Sean and Mike didn’t have any confidence that Layne could do the show and Jerry being the only one that knew deep in his heart that Layne could do it because Layne had done so many things against the odds over the years no matter how high he was at the time. When Jerry needed him to be there where it counted, Layne always pulled through.
Knowing how he sang ROOSTER in Tilburg, The Netherlands, in 1993 when his “yeahs” and screams were so loud and high I’m surprised the rafters didn’t come crashing down around him and then watch him sing the same song so low-key on Unplugged knowing he could do to the song what he did in Tilburg is heartbreaking. Knowing he initially sang the hell out of WOULD? on the official video and album and seeing the end of WOULD? on Unplugged . . . and knowing how deep into his addiction he had gotten by that point is heartbreaking.
The entire show was a success because Layne DID have a powerful performance despite his condition. He proved to his cynical bandmates that he could still sing the high notes and he pulled it all off beautifully while the same four guys (Metallica) who had mocked him for his addiction sidelining Alice In Chains from ever doing extended tours back in 1994 sat in the front row. The mistakes he made screwing up SLUDGE FACTORY (and I think he screwed up GOT ME WRONG once or twice, but Toby Wright didn’t keep that in editing) were endearing, at least to me. They didn’t take away from the performance, it added something to the performance that, had it been removed after everyone had seen it, wouldn’t have made the show what it was.
That line "they spit on me in my homeland." TV News anchor Walter Kronkite basically told the American public that we lost the war and between that and the college kids (who went to college to escape being drafted into the military) would protest the soldiers coming home. They would do protest rallies at the airports and protest the returning soldiers by spitting at them, throwing urine and other stuff on them. An uncle of mine drove a supply truck in Vietnam (to this day he won't talk about his experience). A family friend of ours said that he and his buddies came home, saw the protesters at the airport, and re-enlisted because it was safer in Vietnam than in the US with the protesters. At least in Vietnam, they knew who the enemy was. I'm NOT saying Vietnam was anything the US should have ever been in. I'm just relating stories of people I know who served there.
Layne's story is more tragic and haunting because you can actually watch and hear him deteriorate over the 12-year span: from the mild use of drugs in 1990 all the way through 1996 when he was deep into a heroin addiction to dropping to 90 pounds by 1998 to 86 pounds when he died in 2002. Layne kept his humor and wit even to the end of his life.
Layne was so much more than his drug addiction. He stacked his own vocals with melodies and harmonies underneath. He was able to come up with lyrics and harmonies off the top of his head. He knew that Jerry Cantrell was playing with the wrong people and gave him contact info for Sean Kinney and found out Sean Kinney was dating original bass player Mike Starr's sister. He wrote the lyrics for the original songs he sang on Mad Season's Above album and drew the cover art for that album. Layne was a genius in his own right. He was able to figure things out in a snap off the top of his head. Layne just had his demons. At the age of 34, he looked more like an 80 year old man. He knew he screwed up, between the drugs and his own depression and then his former fiancee dying, Layne just couldn't find a way to dig himself out of his own mess and at the end with his teeth problems and organs failing on him, he gave up trying. He lost sight of who his true friends were and who was using him. He was never going to give up the drugs. Instead, he tried to attain the same high he felt the first time he did drugs and could never achieve it.
Layne encouraged Jerry to sing more, after all, they were Jerry's lyrics he should sing them. Vice-versa, Jerry encouraged Layne to play the guitar which is how you get Layne playing guitar on HATE TO FEEL and ANGRY CHAIR as well as I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING on the Mad Season above album. Jerry encouraged him on the guitar and was proud that Layne grew as a guitarist. Though, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine taught Layne more chords than ANGRY CHAIR and HATE TO FEEL.
The friendship between Jerry and Layne was unbreakable. Jerry NEVER once thought of replacing Layne as the singer while Layne was still alive. He always wanted Layne to sing whenever he had AIC do something. If there were ever cosmic soulmates ... Layne and Jerry would be it. (And by that I mean, they were Sympatico with each other. The way they sang together was a perfect pitch where two voices make one. What you hear and see between Jerry and Layne was a genuine friendship. They looked after each other. When one had problems with a song, the other picked up the slack. They were a team.
Jerry was doing a solo concert in Charlotte, NC when he heard that Layne was found two weeks after he died and Jerry was trying to get through the concert and crying. He did shows between the time he found out about Layne until Layne's funeral because if he had taken a break then, he didn't think he'd want to continue anything later after the mourning period.
Layne had done so much for Jerry, giving him a place to live, money, clothes, food, guitars and gear, a band. But getting a front-row seat to watch what had happened to Layne over the years, Jerry had to watch his best friend deteriorate in a span of 12 years (1990-2002), and Jerry couldn't do anything about it. Jerry had talked himself blue in the face but Layne didn't want help. Alice In Chains was a band, but they were also a family. They had internal issues just like any family. When Layne died, it was like losing a loved one, a family member, you don't think of the fights you had with the person who died. You defend their memory. There is a reason Jerry wrote NO EXCUSES about Layne and the line "You, my friend, I will defend / And if we change, well, I'll love you anyway."
"My grandmother and mother were such huge losses, but I got Layne, the guys, and I got this.” - Jerry Cantrell, Kerrang! (December 1, 2018)
“Jerry really loved Layne [Staley]. They had a bond I haven't seen before,” Jerry’s former manager Bill Siddons, April 19, 2002 (the day Layne was found two weeks after he died).
my BFF and I had a Sunday night metal show in Dallas. We had the honor of playing AIC first in this part of the country. They opened for an Ozzy Festival and AIC was one of the bands that played early, mid-afternoon. After the show we ran into them. Layne asked me if I thought they had what it takes to make it. HELL YES was our response. We began every show with Alice In Chains.
As you probably know, Inez was Ozzys bassist on that tour. He came over and joined our group. When Layne went to get a beer, Mike, Tammy and me started raving about how great they were. And how you really didn’t realize how much Jerry sang. Mike said, and I quote, “I really want to play with these guys”. Layne returned and he was flattered that Inez was there. Said to me, so you really think we are that good? I said so good that Inez wants to be your bassist. Mike had a fit! “Nancy, we have to go thru mgmt and lawyers…” but Layne seemed a tad insecure and I thought he should know. Mike Starr was so much fun to watch onstage…his physical antics…but I never dreamed that I would be the one to literally get that ball rolling.
I had on a vintage denim jacket with rock band patches on it. I made a patch for AIC. Layne asked if he could have it. Had to say no cuz it was superglued to my jacket. He asked if he could have the jacket. Had to say no because that jacket meant a lot to me. A girl from HS gave it to me because my family took her in at a very dark time in her life. Looking back, I should have given Layne the jacket in return for one of his jackets. What a dumb ass I was. God Bless us all, especially YOU! Music brings us together. AIC - great f’ing music. AIC and YES are my two favorites. ☮️❤️❤️❤️
So I have an interesting story about this song that a lot of people wouldn't know. My Uncle was a special forces pilot and in Somalia during the BlackHawk down situation. His best friend was the pilot that got captured. This song was Michael (the pilot) favorite song, and they would play it on the radio every day so he would know they hadn't forgotten about him. I only found this out recently bc obviously my uncle couldn't talk about it when he was active, but he and I were talking about deployment experiences (I was in the army and worked on helicopters and my brother was infantry) so once we all got out we talked about things like this. It's kind of a morbid song to be your keep your spirits up to, but it worked.
Jesus. I’m so sorry. For whatever reason I pulled up the videos/photos from that horror about six months ago and just cried (again). Blessings to your family.

AiC was my first "favorite new band" after finding Metallica in 1987. They were by far my fav of the grunge scene, and Rooster was my favorite of their songs. Great reaction, my man. Layne Staley's voice is just legendary.
I'd highly reccomend reacting to them Live, in my opinion they sounded better. Live at the Moore 'Love Hate Love' or Bleed the Freak' The entire set is incredible though. 🔥
Jerry Cantrell's dad was known as Rooster, and he was in Vietnam. The song is about Jerry's dad. Snuff the Rooster means: to kill the Rooster... Jerry's dad. The enemy, the Viet Cong, have made it known that if we had continued the fight for 30 more days, they were prepared to surrender. American politicians lost this war, not American troops. Politicians would not allow our military to fight to win. Why?
*U2's NEW YEAR'S DAY
*Metallica's ONE
*Iron Maiden's ACES HIGH, 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT, THE TROOPER these are all good songs dealing with war.
Alice In Chains' 2nd album 'Dirt' from 1992 was a very dark album... 'Rooster' was about guitarist/ vocalist Jerry Cantrell's dad Jerry Sr. who was a Vietnam vet and appeared in the music video... Mark Pellington directed it - he was famous for the powerful music video for Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy'... (A rooster is a male chicken which crows in the morning... it serves as a lookout that alerts of danger) 'Rooster' was Jerry Sr's nickname in the US Army... the song depicted his war experience - the enemy coming at him in waves of attacks, trying to kill him... and he sees all his comrades being killed while he survived... Meanwhile, he got letters and pictures from his wife from back home, but when he returned home from active duty, he was greeted by anti-war activists who spit on him and call him 'baby-killer'... (The Vietnamese deployed children against US soldiers, and they were forced to kill them...)
But at the end of the day, the Vietnam war was solely the debacle of the Johnson and Nixon administrations and the military commanders at the time who insisted that they could win w/ more troops... Nixon won election in 1968 promising to end the war, but ended up escalating the conflict (bombing neighboring countries and pulling them into the war) to the point where the US lost the war and were forced to withdraw in 1973 after the peace agreement... It meant little when the N. Vietnam army routed the S. Vietnam forces by 1975 and forced the last US troops to flee.
Strangely, most Americans supported the Vietnam war... the anti-war movement was a minority, as evidenced by Nixon's landslide election victory in 1972, which was followed by his Watergate Scandal and resignation in disgrace... and the loss of the war by 1975.
The 2003 Gulf war was split 50/50... but we all know it was a BS war...
Going back to Alice In Chains... their album 'Dirt' was (mostly) a dark, honest depiction of the horrors of heroin addiction that plagued their native city Seattle and 2 members - Layne Staley (vocals) and Mike Starr (bass)... both lost their addiction battles; Layne in 2002... Starr in 2011... It was also the first full album where guitarist Jerry Cantrell sang lead w/ Layne Staley on certain songs... They had this eerie mix of early Black Sabbath heaviness and dual-vocal harmonies that defined their sound.
Did you really explain what a rooster is? 😂
@@JohnTurner313 Can u read? 🤣🤣
@@sumonjamal1653 Yep! You posted: "A rooster is a male chicken which crows in the morning". Thanks for that info that nobody knew, very enlightening! 😂😂
@@JohnTurner313 well, not everyone's a "chicken lover" like u... 🤣🤣
I don’t think any songs support war most are anti war songs….Civil War by Guns N Roses is another great one
The term Rooster in the song refers too Jerry Cantrell s Dad who was in the Vietnam War and survived it but his in his Platoon he named as his call sign was the Rooster 🐓 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇😀😃🙂
"snuff" is jargon for execute, assassinate, kill
They were such a great band to see live in concert. I'm so happy to be reliving these fantastic bands with reacters like you. I know it's new for you, but people my age view it as a walk back in time that literally shaped us.
sadly I never got to see them. They were on the bill to open for Metallica back in mid-90s - in Sacramento - but they cancelled - Layne was sick with his addiction and back in rehab.
@@Frostrazor I can relate. There are quite a few bands I wish that I'd been able to see, but for one reason or another, it just didn't happen. One concert in particular is near and dear to me and that was their Escape Tour filmed at the Houston Summit in 1981. I was there and get to relive it in total thanks to UA-cam. We deal each in our own ways and have to be grateful for the little things.
@@Eurynomea yeah, several (including AIC) I never got to see live, then it’s too late. Thankfully I FINALLY just got to knock a huge one off the list with Depeche Mode recently, and they did NOT disappoint! I couldn’t believe the energy-both from DM and the whole audience, it was amazing! They’re 60-61, and still totally killed it.
@@ashleydixon4613 I'm taking a vacation in September to Germany to see Deep Purple and Purpendicular (with Ian Paice the drummer) live, probably for the last time. I've only seen DP once, back in '85 when they reformed and played at the Texas Jam. I'm 60, so I can relate to Depeche Mode...I'd love to see them again too. If asked, I couldn't even begin to tell you how many concerts I've attended over the decades, but...I know I'm more than elated that I got to see so many legends in their primes.
@@Eurynomea I’m just wishing I had the money to travel right now, I’d definitely love to go see DM in Europe! The European audiences tend to be more involved, although San Antonio definitely had a bigger vibe going than the other shows on the North America leg of the tour so far. Dave even commented on it right after “Everything Counts”-you can see it on the videos of the San Antonio show.
I’m just trying to make it to Dallas in Oct right now (from central Arkansas), but omg tix are so expensive, ya know-I already spent about $300 a ticket for the almost-nosebleed seats in San Antonio-and I’m broke these days. (But assuming I go, at least I can crash with relatives in Ft Worth instead of also paying for a hotel room too.)
This song was one of the anthems to my teenage years ... God bless you Lane :( RiP 💔
This entire album was/is a legitimate masterpiece. Unbelievable band. RIP Layne!!
I’m sure it won’t surprise you at all to know that Mtv banned this music video. Alice In Chains depicted the horrors of war with absolutely no mercy.
🎸🎶
You asked about another song dedicated to the military.. A band called Five Finger Death Punch has an emotional but great song and video called The Wrong Side Of Heaven. I've seen quite a few reactors who are military vets react to it and love it. ❤
But this one, Rooster, is my favorite❤
This song is revenant even today as we are about to be sucked into WWIII. There is nothing pretty about it. This song is gnarly!
My favorite war song is probably Fortunato Son by CCR.
Ohio by Crosby,Stills,Nash,and Young. May 4th,1970,4 people protesting the Viet Nam War lost their lives at Kent State.Great song!!!
Snuff usually means either straight up to kill or like to stamp out or put out like snuff a cigarette butt.
Snuff in this context means kill. Snuff is usually slang for kill, snuffing their light out etc.
"WAR" by Edwin Starr comes to mind. I honestly believe you would enjoy that one.
Someone may have already said this below, but the old guy in the video is Jerry Cantrell's dad. The song is a mix of his stories and Layne Staley's pain with drugs. And the "Rooster" is supposedly referencing the helicopters airlifting men in/out of Veitnam.
There were plenty of songs during ww2 that didn't necessarily support "war" , but they were "patriotic" in support of the u.s. war effort.
White Buffalo "The Whistler" is one. About the after effects of war on an individual. It will give you chills.
These were 19-21-year-olds thrown into this hell. I was 20 years old when I was in Vietnam. Now you know why so many of use suffered with, and continue to suffer with, PTSD, even after all these years.
“Snuff” in this context means to kill.
Iron Maiden Where Eagles Dare, and Aces High, Metallica Disposable Heroes, Slayer War Ensamle and Megadeth Holy Wars
@Tia Calhoun agree not many songs actually support war and for good reason but to hear someone take that approach and do it well check out Jedi Mind Tricks- Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story. You won't regret it. R.A. The Rugged Man portrays like a blood thirsty general reveling in the action.
MMBxMOB the greatest protest, anti-war song ever written or performed was written by Mr Bob Dylan. It's called Masters of War. His version is great. But Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam sings it like he's the one that wrote it, and he knocks ot so far outta the park it sends postcards to Eddie, letting him know where it's at. It's not about any specific war, but was written during Viet Nam. I still cry when i hear Eddie sing it. If I'm not weeping, I'm singing with him,.. or BOTH!!! It's that good. You'll see
I think the next Alice in Chains should be the MTV Unplugged version of Nutshell. That will tug some feels.
Jerry Cantrell Sr. (Rooster) Jerry Cantrell Jr. Song writer, guitarist, backing vocal🖤✨🖤🎶🖤💫🖤AIC🥰 when it’s real it get ya right ❤
"Right in Two" by Tool is a really good song about war/human conflict. Not sure if you've heard that one yet but if not you absolutely need to hear it!
Well written and sung; but ALL their songs are. Polo; ; do a deep dive into Angry Chair, please.
'Seek and Destroy' as far as Pro War? - only thing that came to mind. 'Civil War' was a great recommendation - Anti-war.
Roosters are cocky and you don't want to mess with them
Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due.
Greatest metal song of all time imo.
1. Rooster 2. One 3. War Pigs 4. Zombies 5. Wrong side of Heaven
This is a beauty. You are a generation behind having male elders who were in Vietnam. Obviously we have vets now who’ve seen action and their stories are so poignant as well, but the numbers are smaller and less “visible.” We’ve also changed how we do war since those days . . .
B.Y.O.B was the last war song that I know of, but I could be wrong. Incredible song by AIC
BYOB is still anti war. I think Polo was thinking about a CCR song he couldn't place..... Unsure
@@jasongode6179 fortunate son?
Not much I can say about this song, AiC or Vietnam that hasn't been said. I had two uncles, one on Dad's side the other on Mom's side, who were there, and both died of very similar cancers within a few years of each other, most likely from Agent Orange. Neither one would talk about their experiences. Combat vets, if they talk at all, usually only talk to other vets, as they are the only ones who understand. They often don't even talk about it much to close family.
As for roosters, I grew up in the country and we always had chickens, so I know them very well. When I was a young child we had a rooster that was big and mean and crazy smart for a chicken. It would lurk around pretending to go about its rooster business, and when your back was turned it would attack. Grown men were scared of that thing.
Roosters will protect their harem from anything, but I think that one was just plain psycho. 😂
"the only ones who understand" The biggest part of that is they are the only ones who won't judge them for what they did or how they feel (or don't feel) about it.
Civil War by Guns N Roses is a masterpiece. Definitely my favorite, but the Video for One is my favorite video.
My next is an weird thing to put on this list, and was controversial, but Hendrix national anthem at Woodstock said so much without a word.
Then, Rooster and BOOM! By System of a Down round out my top 5.
Masters of war - Bob Dylan.
Is probably one of the best out there
ua-cam.com/video/K4uMQRQzVmc/v-deo.html
With lyrics. Peace
"B.Y.O.B." - System of a down
Edwin Starr "War", Dire Straits "Brothers In Arms" and Buffalo Springfield, "For What It's Worth". The first one is the only banger. The others are somber. That's all I got.
Rooster is refering to jerry cantrells father of uncle he was rooster and they was trying to snuff the rooster
If you’ve not seen it and want to know more, I’d recommend you watch the movie “Born on the 4th of July.” It’s a true story based on a book by Vietnam vet Ron Kovics who started out as a gung ho soldier who suffers a devastating injury, become an addict and eventually an anti war activist. It came out quite awhile ago (starring a young Tom Cruise and Wm DaFoe).
Fortunate Son by Credence Clearwater Revival is a good war song from the 60s/70s.
Ccr has multiple songs that are very good that are pretty much anti war songs.
Megadeth "Holy Wars" Metallica "Disposable Heroes" Metallica "The Day That Never Comes" Metallica "That was just your Life"
The Trooper by Iron Maiden is a banging rock war song! Great video, new sub
Btw,To hell with war!!! These politicians and other players need to fight their own battles. No need for innocent people to die from their fights.
Loved your reaction! Just found you and subscribed!
Gimme shelter -the rolling stones.
Top 5 War related songs (no order, excluding the ones you mentioned but has to include this one!) including war protest songs - 1) "Rooster" - AIC / 2) "Ohio" - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (this was Neil Young's song within the group, but man, what a band when he had his short time with them as great as they were anyway) / 3) "Goodnight Saigon" - Billy Joel / 4 "Sunday Bloody Sunday" - U2 / 5) "Games Without Frontiers" - Peter Gabriel....honorable mention "When the Tigers Broke Free" - Pink Floyd. As for a new Alice in Chains song, they did this awesome like 6 track album called "Sap" with features from Chris Cornell and other Seattle homies...amazing acoustic guitar stripped back dark and dope as hell, but one upbeat and awesome cut is "Got Me Wrong" - you'll have it in your head for days!
If you haven’t done nutshell please do it! The studio version first and then the unplugged. And then any other Alice In Chains, they are all great and go hard.
you just heard the best war rock song,
I guess Toby Keith has a few pro let's get em type of war songs, that's country music though
I don't know if there's a "best", but any list of metal war songs MUST include Aces High by Iron Maiden.
The trooper from Iron maiden
Orange Crush by REM touches on Vietnam
There is really only one true meaning for “SNUFF OUT” as it pertains to this song and as it pertains to most everyone’s viewpoint!! It has NOTHING to do with taking advantage of someone at all (in fact, I’m 50 years old and Ive never heard that word “snuff“ pertain to taking advantage of someone or anything like that. The word “snuff“ has always pertain to meaning, kill, or wipe out! For example, snuff films. They are films are about women usually being forced to do sexual acts, and then being killed! Or, as they used to say, snuff out the candle. Which means to extinguish the flame or kill the flame. I never heard anyone say take it vantage of that flame it’s always extinguish it please!
So, in this song, one of the band members (Jerry Cantrell), the guitarist, his father was in Vietnam and his call sign was rooster! He was a highly skilled fighter that the VC was actually a frayed of. There were rewards for the death of the “rooster“! So this song was inspired by one of Jerry Cantrell‘s fathers stories about Vietnam basically and how he felt he was always being hunted by the enemy, and that he would hear on enemies radio them speaking in their language, but always with a word he recognized, “rooster”! He always felt that the enemy was coming to snuff him out, or kill him every time that he had a fire fight! But I don’t know, maybe they came to take it vantage of them in the jungle, since you didn’t know his way around? You never know. I wasn’t there. Lol! Keep up the good reviews man. Love your channel.
Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter - the original video 👍
War Pigs by Black Sabbath sums up the war
Thank you…

You want WAR i’ll give it to ya: fortunate son/bad moon rising-creedance clear water;for what it’s worth- buffalo springfield, winds of change-scorpions,when the music ends -doors
I don't think you'll find any pro-war songs, we all understand war is generally horrible for everyone but the military-industrial complex. However, "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)" by Toby Kieth is a country song written just after 9/11 when everyone was looking to hit back at who we thought perpetrated the event, and The Angry American is an apt title. After the shock wore off, were were, as a nation, pissed off and wanting to drop the hammer on someone. Turns out Iraq had little to do with anything, but the Bushes and Dick Cheney used the emotions of that time to exact a little personal revenge. But that's a history lesson for another time.
I think of this song and One.
Just happened along your channel yesterday 🤘.. Def Leppard"Gods Of WaR"/Ozzy "BomB". Couple searches for ya man.. Keep on"Rock'n"
Will do! Thanks Teddy!
Not Bomb but.."thank god for the Bomb".. Been so long ive listened to this album.. "The Ultimate Sin Album"..
@@MMBxMOB .. Why not just do all 9 songs on the Album "The Ultimate Sin" "Ozzy".. You won't be disappointed bro🤘😎
Disposable Heroes by Metallica
Just about any song from the band Sabaton. Pick a war or side and they have a good song about it
VIET NAM WAS A POLITICIAN'S WAR!!! 58,200 AMERICANS DIED IN THAT SENSELESS MESS!!! MY 2 OLDER BROTHERS BOTH WENT TO VIET NAM, THEY CAME BACK, BUT THEY WERE NEVER THE SAME!!!
The best war rock song? The one you just listened to.
Disposable Heros by Metallica is an anti war banger
Teenage waste land, by the Who, deals with Vietnam
Probably One
Actually ww1 and 2 were significantly more impactful. The reason we see so much about vietnam is because boomers were making all the movies and that was their war.
And kids these days think they’ve got it tough……
Suff = Kill
Country songs support war
