Alabama 3. Their texts are matched only by Quentin Tarantino in originality and humor. In this song: "This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor with a submachine gun".
Loved this band for a few years now, seen them live 3 times, the best band i have ever saw live. Go see them if you are watching this, it will be excellent you will not regret it.
this band are the best ever they out strip anything else ive followed them for ages and this is the greatest song ive heard for years 5 stars all the way on all there stuff go boys rock the house blow them away
These guys are simply awesome. Know what else would be awesome? If Country Dick Montana was still alive and did a track or two with these guys. What a killer combination that would be.
I'd have love to have been there...young with a mind full of something instead of disinterested carnal hormomes running riot. Hey-ho. Love all you Tubesters. Have the best Christmas ever xxxxxx
1st time I heard this in Glasgow's ABC I thought the place was going to fall down with everyone going ape-shit crazy. You can not stand still to this song live.
The length of time it took them to get to the actual song . . . 1:55. The sheer number of people holding up their right hands despite having been told NOT to . . . countless. :)
"Love is the only weapon." Shit! Bullshit! Martin Luther King died with love! Kennedy died talking about something he couldn't even understand, some kind of generalized love, and he never even backed it up. He was shot down. Bullshit! "Love is the only weapon with which I've got to fight." I've got a hell of a lot of weapons to fight! I've got my claws. I've got cutlasses. I've got guns. I've got dynamite. I've got a hell of a lot to fight! I'll fight! I'll fight!
@VanDoodah Man, I see your point and I was slightly pissed (Aussie for 'drunk'), so my judgement was slightly impaired and I now recognise you were stating a fact and not making a judgement, I didn't know they were red flaggers. All I know is they make some pretty fine music and the uniqueness of a band is what gets me in, not the normal mainstream crapola aimed at the market of 14 year olds... These guys are cool without trying to be cool.
Do not get distracted by the title. Remember a title is but a label, a meme designed to make something stick. There is at least as much of Jim Jones in this as there is Mao. There's also reference to Elvis (another gun nut), Salvador Allende (who died by the gun rather than lived by it) and Daniel Ortega among many others. To me it's rather about mind control and the appeal of controversy than that it conveys any real 'red' ideas.
Dude,the way these guys troll their audience is so brilliant and calculated. Like when they get the crowd to absent mindedly do the communist salute and then says"any right hands aren't kosher" could be coincidence but Im pretty sure that's a reference to how Stalin"purged" tens of millions of jews. As, to Stalin, Jews were not kosher...
What kinda stupid shit are you saying, Stalin did not purge Jews, in fact, he voted for the formation of Israel and opened several jewish communities across Russia that are still alive today. Stalin did not purge based on race he purged according to political dissidence, which sometimes might as well be arbitrary. When they say "right hands are not kosher" they mean anything as small as raising the wrong hand can be seen as "not kosher". The song is not anti communist per se, it's an ironic take on how a religious preacher used an atheist revolutionary "rebel" (at least the side presented in this song) to solidify his influence, to make the americans craving an anti-authoritarian revolution ironically vow to the whims of a preacher, by aiming the gun at an invisible enemy...
You don't? Really? Why not? The general consensus now is that we actually care deeply for dictators. Sorry if you didn't get the memo. To sum it up: We care for them, and we appreciate and nurture them. Sometimes we even vote for them. Sorry for not keeping you in the loop.
maskedavenger777 "Dictator" is a euphemism for any politician or national leader who doesn't kowtow to US imperialism and domination by Anglo-American finance capital.
"Their personalities are communist"?! -- What does that even mean? When did personalities get to have their own political views? So, what if your brain and your personality have different political views? Do they have to fight it out to settle it? "I think [...]" - Stop bragging. "Siv Jensen" - Really? "What's your name?" "I'm Siv Jensen" "No, you ain't" "Yes, I am" OK, then I'm Johnny Cash.
I'm sure they would feel very sorry if they knew that you of all people didn't approve of their "Commie salute" and "promo" (not sure what that means, though). Don't feel bad, satire is hard to grasp. Sooner or later, you will get it, and then try watching some Laibach videos to challenge yourself. (Warning: For experienced people only).
Yeah, I always liked their music...but I could never quite figure out if they're being ironic, if they're actually commies, or what the hell their message is, if any.
Arguably the greatest live version of any song ever. Fuckin pure and utter quality
Best song to start a big GB-Party. At 1:06 the lights are turned on and the mares march in.
"Exile on Cold Harbour Lane" is one of the bast CD's i've ever heard and own, out of the thousand or so that I have
Alabama 3. Their texts are matched only by Quentin Tarantino in originality and humor. In this song: "This place'd be a paradise tomorrow, if every department had a supervisor with a submachine gun".
Erik van Doorn they didn't say that, that is an audio sample of an American cult leader, one of the ones who committed suicide with the cultists
That was Jim Jones...they chose their samples veyr well. RIP D Wayne Love

@VanDoodah Man, I see your point and I was slightly pissed (Aussie for 'drunk'), so my judgement was slightly impaired and I now recognise you were stating a fact and not making a judgement, I didn't know they were red flaggers.

😍😍
Alabama 3 have a bodhran player??!! SWEET!!!!!!!
Really like the live version here but the sound quality is ah, lacking. Shame.
Awesome. Fucking awesome.
The guy playindg the budrun.. these guys handle any type of genre. Just waiting till they go all Jaques Brel on me..
Duh!! What? Your point being? And?
Get on board.
Leave the politics. Get the groove and ENJOYYYYYYAAAAA
Praise yee the Alabama 3
@hen0506 ...I was merely stating a fact, not making a judgment.
Shit hot!!!
@VanDoodah
And ??
@MaoistLeninistMarx
so what if they are commi " they are guys making many people happy , thats the bottom line !
fuckin brill this
Segs is dead baby, Segs is dead.
3:32 should give anyone who understands English a clue that the Alabama 3 are not Rage Against The Machine.
saw them in cambridge last week. new female singer,looks good but she's no devlin love.
L.o.v..e
taking a piss never sounded so good
Post the lyrics, for Mao's sake!.
@KITCHENOFDISTINCTION
Me too..without a doubt :)

Y'all ever overread something?
@@leesinton729 yup, im only human. I tend to analyze stuff, you know - to understand things - all that good stuff.
Look at the raised fist salute in pictures from the Spanish Civil War and tell me about how many you see raising their right hand
Small pow'r the word has / and can afford us / not half so much / privilege as the sword does.
I don't care for dictators.
You don't? Really? Why not? The general consensus now is that we actually care deeply for dictators. Sorry if you didn't get the memo. To sum it up: We care for them, and we appreciate and nurture them. Sometimes we even vote for them. Sorry for not keeping you in the loop.
Good argument based on vox populi. No, a logical fallacy actually.
maskedavenger777 "Dictator" is a euphemism for any politician or national leader who doesn't kowtow to US imperialism and domination by Anglo-American finance capital.
So about 60-80 million dead has nothing to do with Mao, the saintly, dignified leader of China.
@@PRmoustache88 you are a dumb bitch
The left handed clenched fist salute is more associated with the Anarchists - the right (not Kosher) with the Communists. Just fyi...
to quote Jim Jones, bullshit.
Um... Nope!
Jaques Brel aint too bad either,so..win/win
Lol!
trotsky what did he ever do apart from divide the left wing forces? And spout shit about the USSR.
Their personalities are communist but I think Rob Spragg is more of a social welfare and union supporter than a true communist.
"Their personalities are communist"?! -- What does that even mean? When did personalities get to have their own political views? So, what if your brain and your personality have different political views? Do they have to fight it out to settle it?
"I think [...]" - Stop bragging.
"Siv Jensen" - Really?
"What's your name?"
"I'm Siv Jensen"
"No, you ain't"
"Yes, I am"
OK, then I'm Johnny Cash.
Dang I don't like the Commie salute and promo but it is a great song to move to.
I'm sure they would feel very sorry if they knew that you of all people didn't approve of their "Commie salute" and "promo" (not sure what that means, though).
