I lived on Guam for over a decade. This song has been translated into every Micronesian language & is played by almost anyone with a guitar or ukulele. Hotel California by the Eagles as well. Oh, Seven Spanish Angels sounds best in Chammoro, trust me.
Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "peace could last forever" And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no I don't need one more war I don't need one more war No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
I don't think this guy really understood the lyrics because if he did he'd have heard the line about selling soldiers in a human grocery store ain't that fresh...I was waiting on his reaction to that section because it's so shocking but there was none.
Bro I am a huge fan! This song I have tattooed on my right shoulder with a rose and an ak47. (Guns n Roses civil war haha) this song means so much to me man and is so relevant to what’s going on in the world. We are at war with our own people. Nothing is civil about war. We are in this together. Good video bro and much love and luck on your RU-vid quest. I will always be a part of your family for as long as you’re here. Good song choice ! Now time to watch the vid lmaooo
One of my favorites (very underrated) is "Dont Damn Me" way ahead of its time. Just like "civil war" applies to any time era. 🔥 love your trip down GnR road! 💜
That whistled tune in the beginning was When Johnny Comes Marching Home, a very old folk war song. About a young man coming home so damaged from the war his loved ones can't recognize him.
I feel like you're missing one of the most impressive live performances (to my taste, ofc) from GnR. Have a looks at their Knocking on Heavens Door at Wembley, during the Freddie Mercury Tribute. Mindblowing.
Most people only take one side of the Confederacy and run with it as all racism and that's not the whole side of it. Southern pride isn't about racism and slavery..
@@vhju8993 it's about being LAZY, too Lazy to work, too Lazy to be bothered, and GREED, them Lazy fat fuck confederate states were all about having other people do ALL the work for FREE and Profit off it then take Credit for it all... just sayin
@@vhju8993 Yes but the confederacy is EXPLICITLY about slavery. The confederacy seceded from the Union and started the deadliest war in US history EXPLICITLY so they could continue to own other human beings. Look up the Cornerstone speech or Mississippi's declaration of secession. Slavery was the EXPLICIT reason they seceded. If people from the South want to rally around something as a cultural touchstone, find something good to rally around, not a literal fascist slave state that only existed for 4 years
I am enjoying these so much. You make me stop and really listen to them instead of singing along. And I'm realizing how needed these still are today. We've been fighting these issues for a long time and it is sad that we are still fighting and nothing has really changed.
That intro is a Hendrix song. And the intro to Civil War is from Cool Hand Luke! One of the best movies ever! And this song fits perfectly into today's world as we speak
Amazing lyrics BUT, have you noticed Axl's power in his singing? My man that guy, love it or hate him, has an amazing powerful voice...and used to do it while running and kicking left and right. In the times where few ppl got any recording device, he did it raw to the crowd. Amazing
I have learned to love this band since quarantine and being put in a position where I didn't have I think it to a could hardly go anywhere because of the lock down a few months ago so I've learned to love this band , However, I'm just a college kid and I'll come right out and say that I did listen to coma more than once and compared to their other music for me it was mediocre. To be honest with you when I check out Chinese democracy and phase like this and even if I wanna go so far as Velvet Revolver I have not seen Mimi production of really really good music they can also be come big music literally with popularity What I'm trying to say is there a lot of guns from roses songs and especially from early On. But this is a place where people are gonna freak out against me but based on what I've been listening to and watching how axl rose has changed his singing is changed over time and I waited have to say that the glory days and the best songs and my mind were completely offer the original Guns & Roses or At least close to everyone cause a couple popped Out .. So I listen to coma more one time and there's something about the song that just doesn't catch me. I might be an odd ball because I hear other Guns & Roses fans Talking about the song coma Over and over. I don't see why this song is considered great if that even is as forest radio player took it sells because we can't always go by those things you know that. So you're something that was say that you guys are going 8 but I'm going to be honest from watching videos and the documentaries and from the days when Axel in the rest of the band were just on top of the world and producing music that was so original there is not been a band they would try to imitate that on a legitimate way unless is some kind of band Trying to do a parody. Services West gonna hurt you guys but I believe something happened with Axel all those years when he was not around and kind of out of the public not involved in music at all for 10 or 15 years. This sounds like a conspiracy theory so please please help me out if you can but a look at other bands that last a lot longer than Guns & Roses has and they're still long tour like The Rolling Stones for example but more so Aerosmith has a similar voice or strength and energy to Guns & Roses. A mention those bands still holding it together because they were used their voice that their pipes she be blown by now but they're not. This were no conspiracies gonna come in but I'm just gonna ask you guys so Whitney used in the cause she was smokin rot for about 10 years literally ruin her singing ability. This is not a shock in the black community I'm a black guy and is just not a shot in general because been written about. From overs you're she was smoking a pipe it mesthur vocals up so that she could not hit notes in a longer as she once could. Just throwing this out there but and would like to know if anyone is ever heard anything about what was Axel doing exactly for 10 to 15 yours? Why did his voice practically go away for the most part? You notice his concert tours that are the most recent videos we can see he is not sounding like the same human being. His pipes or blown compared to what they were and I think people would agree on us. His energy obviously has gone because hes gain a few pounds but you remember the daze and these old videos where hes running around like crazy. I just can't understand what happened to his pipes because other bands have been on tor consistently longer send Guns & Roses. This is the part you won't like but I am just wondering is it possible he was smoking something to a glass pipe for 10 years ? I only ask that because you guys obviously Know a lot more about the band . So there's something they cause his pipes to blow because honestly he can't hit notes in these classic songs well I've watched the videos of the tour. A lot of people may say well is age and out would probably tell them though this BS because are a lot of people out there still performing and make him money and pretty much for the most part Sounding the same as they did 25 or 30 years ago. What happened to axl rose's voice? Do you think U MB and a little heavy to player rule in it and his respiratory system? Take that and then add on that she had not been seen in for so many years that when he did come back as so in an interview where he said he hired his old voice coach again to try to gaze voice back now this was earlier because this is when he was trying to roll with ACD C. My pony is he already knew he had problems with his voice or why would he call as vocal coach back in from 20 years earlier so it could be combination not uses longs and gain in low weight but I don't faith that so something tells me that he was smokin something and it screwed his vocal cords up just like it did Whitney Houston. I still love this man and I still think Axel's school and one of the best lead members her front men of any band of ever heard about or seen and this is coming from my hip hop head but I've been doing my research since this Corona virus said and I've been paying very much attention to videos and the ones that are really getting popped up or Guns & Roses for the most part. The other thing is people tell me Nirvana was better than Guns & Roses and on though all about the feud guys. Nirvana and my mind got very lucky because there were so so many bands in Seattle based on nothing more than documentary book thus the best way I can get it. Nirvana got very lucky because there had to be a first when it came to grunge and making an owl Nirvana was 1st man's it succeeded but even at the same time there's no way someone's gonna tell me that those people in avana or something original because honestly they aren't 18 know about all the people in Seattle at that sang there are in this environment. Nothing was unique when it came to the dressing and things like that I would say that guns N roses is on a different level than know Compared to Nirvana. That's why opinions don't kill me but for real I just simply believe they were better all around their songs when never sounding the same for the most part and there's songs are so original that people like me they aren't even rock fans until recently could hear the sweet child of mine opening with that guitar riff and know exactly was Kim red Apple or even if football games welcome to the jungle chorus is played a lot and I'm talking college and NFL. My whole point is rest in peace to Kurt Cobain 1st off but a think what happened is because he did died tragically and he was only 27 that hes not unlike people such as James Dean or others who also died at a very young age when everyone thought they ridges going to get bigger and maybe they would maybe they would not have who knows? I don't know that much about Nirvana but I know one thing for sure the drummer Dave had more challenge in my mind than anybody else in the band you know because he could play drum guitar in any he could actually seen with the Foo Fighters. I give him the most talent in the band by 4 but when you compare Guns & Roses to Nirvana it's not a good comparison because there have been other bands as sound exactly like Nirvana they came out of Seattle but you don't hear anyone trying to imitate or sound like Guns & Roses do you question back
Thankyou so very much for your reaction. It's amazing how in 1991 GNR created this song....that still rings true today for so many people. Thankyou for bringing it back for us to remember✌✌✌✌
Paris France 92 was aired on tv at the same time think 80k people absolutely love guns n roses. U ought to listen to sailing from 06 may be a rod Stewart but he's absolutely nails it
I found your RU-vid channel right now and I'm loving your reactions! I'm a huge fan and this concert was in Paris, France 1992. It's so amazing!!! You have to see the whole concert.
I Got a video of myself singing some Guns N’ Roses songs When i was 3 years old! And i just can’t get tired of they’re Music! And to hear Them play Music Irl is just crazy they’re the best musicians in the World 🎃 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY GUY 💜
So glad to find a reaction to this performance! LOL at your changing scores for Slash’s solos! 🤣 One of many things I love about Guns is their song craft. They know how to build and when to break it down. Great reaction!
pjay213 yeah actually I believe it’s #2 now alltime. But yeah but they are old now. Still love em seen them twice over the last few years- but man nothing was as great as GNR in their prime. From 87-91 they were the Michael Jordan of rock music.
Bro react to the lyrics the song is real deep and you can barely understand some words in live performances but Im 100% sure you will be shocked of how deep the song is.💯
This show was the Paris '92 PPV. It was held the same weekend I got out for school for the summer. I still have a vhs of this show. Sound garden was the opening act.
Thank God 80s mens daisy duke shorts got cancelled lol...for all wondering the flag jacket at first had a purpose,as he changed to the regular flag jacket. Kinda goes with the name of the track,Axl aint racist...every jacket he changed into coincided with the song. Nice one and happy BDay Holla
This song, his lyrics, this performance are amazing. Axl' s voice awesome.... Instrumental great !!!!Guns and Roses my favourite rock band since Appetite for Destruction. Nobody better.....
Paris -92. It was on pay per view all over the world, Lenny Krawitz, Joe Perry and Steven Tyler performed with them. It was a great fuckin' time to be alive!
One of the greatest songs ever. Period. Dont get bent over his coat. He was from Indiana, which was a strong Union supporter. Coats for impact and effect. Im sure he no more considered anything but the word "rebel" and he liked it. Lol
Just subscribed, huge GNR fan here. Great reaction video here. I’m not sure what else you’ve covered but we need a reaction to Rocket Queen live in Tokyo and Coma live in Chicago. Now. 🤘
Hippodrome in Paris in 1992. They headline this gig as they did for the entire 3 year tour. They also had this on Pay Per View, which millions and millions bought into. Aerosmith came out and play a couple of songs that night as well, but perhaps it just shows how bloated the whole GNR ship got. Lenny Kravitz also performed one of his songs with them that night. Axl brought in all of Slash's favourite people to apologize to him for when he called him out on stage for being a junky in 1988 or 1989.
since this all started poppin off in the world this has been my go to song to really get rid of emotion. i play tf outta this on guitar and it makes me feel free
Awesome song! Relevant 30 years ago and still fits today. Too bad we can’t get things figured out in this country! #Love>Hate. GnR will always be the best in my book!
