Man I used to love Kasabian when I was young, pretty much around the time you made this comment. Recently I was listening to all the songs I used to like back in the day and I wasn't enjoying them like I used to, including most Kasabian stuff. But this one song still feels as good as ever
This is so incredibly underated it's criminal - remember replaying this endlessly back in '06 on my MP3 player at school, those were the days. Incredible track, band and oh god incredible video here.
In England, they're massive, one of the biggest bands in the UK, outside of the UK they're kinda small, so on an international scale they are kinda underrated
They're not underrated here in the UK. They're acknowledged as one of the best bands and certainly one of the best LIVE acts we've had over here for years.
The Crimean War (1853 - 1856) was a conflict between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the French Empire, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. The war was part of a long-running contest between the major European powers for influence over territories of the declining Ottoman Empire. It is considered to be the first "modern" wars as it "introduced technical changes which affected the future course of warfare," the first tactical use of railways and telegraph.
It was also notoriousbfor logistical failuress and incompetence on all sides, with the tremendous and pointless loss of life causing huge public discontent in the participanting nations.

+Tom Barker has It literally nothing to do with any what was said. purely things like radio play more exposer. not to mention fan base the fan base for that shitty low voiced babble rap is much larger. Rock and its sub genres are a dying thing. Simple as that.
kiki mc The story comes from the Prussian war, basically the runner was sent to tell the troops that they had to surrender and come back from the front line as the position was unattainable, but the enemy was sensing an easy victory so they decided to shoot the messenger at the time it was considered a big no no and ungentlemanly to shoot an officer, medic or an officer. The troops were angry that generals had lost faith in them and now the other army was disrespecting them too so they decided to fight, and fight they did, but they were executed as they were insubordinate. War is crazy.
stephen Rowan I Believe you are wrong my good sir, this is based of the Crimean War it is about the Charge of the Light Brigade where a whole British light hussars where gun down by Russian cannons and kasabian are ment to be survivors from the 11th Hussar heading back to the friendly lines but instead are killed by there own officers for retreating, the song itself is on about the generals keep making the same stupid decisions that keep getting more men killed.
This is probably indeed based on the Crimean War. The uniforms are artillery uniforms used by the British at the time, although also for, yes, about 50 years either side - but notice at 2:51 the cannon with cyrillic script, and at the end the pistol which must be from the 1850's or later.
@@Based_Stuhlinger Чувак посмотри интервью Jeffrey Sachs и Tucker Carlson что было недавно А ещё лучше глянь лекцию профессора Joseph Mearsheimer от 2014 года Путин сделал более чем достаточно чтобы этого не случилось, но желание народа Украина купаться в мире иллюзий и безнаказанно убивать российских детей оказалось громче голоса разума Они променяли своё будущие на кулл стори и мифы навеянные западом Россия и её народ сражается за своё будущие, за право иметь свой голос и вес в мире Украина гибнет за право жить идеями нацистких преступников что давно пожрали черви
Love the Crimean War era uniforms! Great song. It was the reason why I bought this album when it was released. A shame thought... the other tracks did keep up.
I loved this song when I was young and it came out, it's not until just now I remembered it and I'm blown away by the lyrics/video.. Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most. Aged like fine wine as they say lol
When I was younger I was shocked and highly scared whenever this video was broadcast, and my mother also told me how frightening it was. However the music held in this videoclip is something incredible, magically triggered and adorned by guitars. It sends you back to the '80s or the '70s because the originality shown cuddles the need of the strictest listeners, of those who still rely on the outstanding rock power and those who keep highlighting the greatest founders in the alternative scene. Kasabian are decently known and commented, they demonstrated that a few bands still want to be creative, groundbreaking and addictive to the crowd. Don't miss their charm!
+fretui medak kasabian aren't a band from the 80s... and if this scared you as a child then you must've lived a very sheltered childhood, i hope you grow up with a bit more courage. god bless
I agree with you in every aspect of what you have said. This is a topic that I could talk about for hours. One quote regarding this issue stands out to me, it's from a movie: "we're on the brink of destruction, but it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve." It's not exactly related, but it's aplicable. It's going to take a precipice-- something larger than life --to get us to change.
I was 10 when this came out. I'd loved them since 2004. I was 8 years old.. But this made me fancy tom so, so much! I watched it around 20 times a day because i liked him so much! I still do! I got to saw them finally in June. It was amazing! :)
@@fionaward8540 It reminds me of Glory (1989), but of course Sharpe and Cold Mountain too! Napoleonic wars, the Crimean war, the Civil War... The Age of Artillery!
@@fionaward8540 wow, that sounds like a great job, thanks for sharing. For my part, I learned some military history at school, perhaps that's why this video fascinates me. I wish there were more bands like Kasabian! 🙏
What an incredible video; so well made and produced. The part where a posh toff blows a dandelion and common soldiers are scattered with its spores is a very elegant metaphor for war. Plus Tom and Serge look hot.
Massive thumbs up! They've been my fave band since their first song! Legendary band. Love them. These videos haven't been on RUclips for ages, thank you for bringing them back!!! My life is complete. Tom

I thought i was the only one lol everyone in school was either rap or rave which i didn't mind but these bands are my own if you no what i mean
I'm sure that everything that ever happened is underrated
This has to be one of the best music vids ever
Yes
One of the best music videos of the last decade.
+Mad Mark C shit its very rare that I read a youtube comment I agree with so much. you speak the truth mad mark.
+Charlie Butterbean Cheers man!
Ever
They came on the scene at a time when we we had high hopes in modern music.What happened? Greatly underrated!!
They were massively successful.
THAT CHORUS THOUGH!!!!!!! Forgot how much I used to love thisss!!!
This masterpiece should be on 4K by now...
I rather not. They filmed it on magnet tape or digitally, so you can do only upscaling to 4k using NeuronNet and its look unnatural.
Why are these guys so underrated. Like come on. They're great.
Random Username true but I never hear them on the radio, nor if I ask somebody, have they heard about them.
The Guitarist its similar for alot of good british bands
In England, they're massive, one of the biggest bands in the UK, outside of the UK they're kinda small, so on an international scale they are kinda underrated
PsychoStevie I'm from India. I love Kasabian. I think they're awesome
They're not underrated here in the UK. They're acknowledged as one of the best bands and certainly one of the best LIVE acts we've had over here for years.
It hurts me how underrated this song is
I don't see how this is underrated, it's probably their biggest track!
discovered these guys recently and im shocked i’ve never heard of them until now. their tunes are great
@@atypicalshredsare you from Mars?😊
It’s not underrated. They just have so many greatest hits that it’s impossible to choose. But this one is obviously one of the biggest
Changing tempos and classical strings in rock....you don't hear that much anymore...thank you Kasabian
Tom's performance makes me comeback here 🔥
The director of Kasabian's music video should seriously win an award! Kasabian's clips are the best! I love their music too of course ;)
It’s a pastiche of Tony Richardson’s sixties film
Brilliant band, brilliant song, brilliant video. What more can you ask ?
Sprout Magoo a million dollars
a boyfriend
u r right
Not to be ded
An autograph maybe or a 🎸 or some food stamps
I always come back to this song it's that good
The most badass music video over- the guitar and vocals tie into the music video sooo well

An absolute LOCKET. The violins are boom. FULL VOL. LET'S GOOOOOO
Wow, miracle that Tom survived being shot to sing more songs for us. Great move, soldier!
This track has aged like a fine wine.
This is such a banger and always will be ...
I will never understand why a song such as this will never get nearly as much publicity as a song such as 'I Don't Fuck With You'

Mainly because people listen to what everyone else listens to. Hence why with rap i listen to the good underground artists.
I like both, loosen up
best kasabian song to date want more like this
Who is the guy that came up with the idea of that shooting scene at the end! My god, brilliant!
Believe it or not the whole video is based on a true story.
I meant putting up the gun scene, that part was magnificent!
What story is it ?

Still love the song and the video. Haunting imagery. Very realistic and scary
....and sad.

Just finished a book about the Crimean war and it got me thinking of this video, I'm probably 50 years out or so but such a good video and song.

btw, if you transcript it letter by letter on keyboard, you'll get "the glorious dead"
it's about the charge of the light brigade, it's on Wikipedia
@@jamestaylor1445 the charge of the Light Brigade about a cavalrys last charge, there was no cavalry in the video.
Wow this video gave me the chills. Great cinematography, great music, great lyrics. This is why i love Kasabian
The big sound of this song was so impressive

This song has an unbelievable amount of swagger.
"Swagger" What ya mean? I'm not being funny...but swagger. ?
***** he means swag maybe :p
Rohan Reddy swagger is the Scottish term that swag comes from meaning cool or smooth eg he has swagger= he is cool. I believe
Love this song as it's about the british empire so historical.

With a belly full of splinters
