I am actually glad that alot of people do not listen to A3. I love how they are not main stream, atleast here in the US. They are ultimate badass music
Straight outta Woodstock......"There's about 300,000 of you f^*kers out there, how you expect to stop the war if you can't sing any better than that. C'Mon SING!!" Brilliant :-)
I just hope some people realize the "1-2-3-4" stanza is quoted from Country Joe and the Fish, a wonderful, wild band from the late 60's. Seek them out. That said, I love A3. They make music that has brains, balls, and soul. Love 'em.
This track gets better and better each time you hear it, but today my favourite track on the Revolver Soul album is All God's Children, followed by Oh Christ.

@catchrnthkudzu ha ha, that has to be the funniest thing ive read in ages!! We've got a thing in the UK for people like you, its called "care in the community"
I wonder about that - I guess it depends what you mean by a "socialist state". I would say that the post WWII Labour Government in Britain was an example of successful socialism. It has taken successive governments more than fifty years to dismantle the welfare state which it created in response to the Beveridge Report. Something similar is true of Gough Whitlam's government in Australia in the early 1970s, which was unsuccessful in ensuring its own survival, but gave the country Medicare.
@catchrnthkudzu I live in the UK & I'm not a political prisoner,you shouldn't believe all the stories you read & then type total & utter gibberish about Alabama 3,try to make an arab genocide programme&corrupt bloodsoaked business deal sound rightous&just,but I'm really glad that you care so much for all the muslims in the middle east by sacrificing your own blood,thought you'd be a little annoyed with them after that two tower business&all that.
only took 6 months to work that out haha I presume ur a yank coz of slow uptake n lacking in understanding of irony.... I spose id have bad memories of anti-war music if the uk had a weoponised n mercenary based economy....
Andy my boy, you presume too much where your intelect ( sp ) is concerned. Come back in a few years and see who is crying about a non-weaponized economy . Oh and lest I forget ,have your womenfolk fitted for their burqa . Cheers !
Would mean something if our economy doin worse than yours bit it isn't lol.... Still not gettin to grips with the meaning of irony, I know it must be hard with a history that only last 300 years and needed help to win any war you fight lol. We English who invented the language that u change the spelling of 3 words n try n pass it off as U.S. English...Just to explain why ur interpretation of irony fails, neither English or Americans never pronounce intellect with 2 ls haha only the welsh do that - btw presumption has nothing to do with my view on my intellect we have qualifications that let us know how intelligent we are but I suppose that's why we understand that if you legalise guns kids are probably gonna get shot and more that 3'quaters or our 5 year olds can point to the uk on a map compared with below half in us not bein able to point to the tiny U.S.... Go n invent ur own language win a war without help n if that fails go m shoot some kids for anger management its easy in your country but at least it keeps ur economic wheels turning....
here in nazi america, the response is "support the troops" and i just dont understand how the troops are not supported when I say I am against war in almost every possible situation, wouldn't the troops be supported if jerry carey is for the war exactly the same as when i say i'm not for the war, but even past that, if there is no war, the troops are still supported, they're just not dying or killing, if there is a war, well, theyre still supported whats my big problem with any of it, is that if congress supports the troops, then why the fuck does a combat veteran have to work, he shouldnt have to, he can, but for the rest of his life he shouldnt have to, that would be support and if they dont like it, its too expensive, then stop making combat vets
YEAR OF ALABAMA3
Was wondering when someone would pick up this pearl of a peace song again - Alabama 3 do! - These guys rock the truth !!!!!!!!
I am actually glad that alot of people do not listen to A3. I love how they are not main stream, atleast here in the US. They are ultimate badass music

Woodstock classic beautifully done
Straight outta Woodstock......"There's about 300,000 of you f^*kers out there, how you expect to stop the war if you can't sing any better than that. C'Mon SING!!" Brilliant :-)
A3 is awesome. Excellent tune and it would be great if this vid went viral as this is thought-provoking.
I just hope some people realize the "1-2-3-4" stanza is quoted from Country Joe and the Fish, a wonderful, wild band from the late 60's. Seek them out.
That said, I love A3. They make music that has brains, balls, and soul. Love 'em.
"What's that spell?" "FISH!!!"
Larry Love you are one of a kind!! My son is in London. I told him look for one of his concerts.
Quite prophetic.
Great song, great band!!!!
This track gets better and better each time you hear it, but today my favourite track on the Revolver Soul album is All God's Children, followed by Oh Christ.
Absolutely brilliant should be played in schools everywhere, not to mention evry conditioned bureaucrats office in the world!
A weeks time and i'll be seeing these guys over in Brighton, can not wait!
I saw them in Brighton on the seafront somewhere in 2012! Probably the same gig.

Dear Mrs. Robinson, your boy died today
He died a brave man far away
We had our dope, stashed it up real fine
Inside his mind
So we removed his brain and put in a K
He'll come back to you that way
And when you get him home, we hope you'll dig it out
Dig it out
And when you get it dear, will you make sure of this
To give it back to me
Because me and my offices have got a lot of clout
Micky Mouse's body bag gets FedExed from Kabul

Don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop Afghanistan

There ain't no time to wonder why we're all gonna die
From napalm to phosphorous, suicide to bombs
Mekong Delta, Helmand province, Taliban to Vietcong
Ghost ride to Guantanamo, Rambo 1 to 5
Put your full metal jacket on, no one here gets out alive

WHAT A GREAT SONG !!! but where i can find the lyrics?

Nice upating of country Joe & The Fish's "Feel Like I'm Fixin-To-Die-Rag" .
I Love your songs love from Dylan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️x

great uptaaake
this song is so amazing i was crying by the end
it is never a pop. It is real art. Mix of dark lyrics and club\hangout music only increases the impression.

Top tuuuune and if that supports the U.Ks welfare state even better.... Maggie was a horrible bitch
@catchrnthkudzu Man, what the hell are you on about?
A heavily borrowed theme from Country Joe and Fish.
thats the point, yeah?
it works
@sop3004FIU Sometimes you have to be the bigger man?
Alabama 3, still awesome, though its a shame they will probably only be known for Woke up this mornin'
I SAY BOTTOMS UP TO A. BRIXTON BREAKFAST IN THE 9 BAR CAFE MICK
country joe would be well chuffed with this im sure
eleven eleven eleven. silence
