Best songs that utilize the sounds of war in them:

e.g. "1812 Overture," "Sky Pilot," "For those about to Rock" and "Fixing to Die Rag," any others?

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron

The Manhattan Project - Rush

Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani

And Justice for All - Metallica

Iron Maiden -- Aces High

The concert version on Live After Death with the Winston Churchill speech, I agree.

"We shall go on to the end.
We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air,
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be,
We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds,
We shall fight in the fields, and in the streets,
We shall fight in the hills;
We shall never surrender, "

How about "Gods of War" by Def Leppard (Hysteria)? The Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher soundbytes parts are awesome.

"A message to terrorists everywhere, you can run but you can't hide" -- RR

"We're determined to stand together and we're determined to take action" -- Maggie Thatcher

"We're not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states" -- RR

"We will not cave in" -- RR

"Today we have done what we had to do" -- RR

"They counted on America to be passive, they counted wrong" -- RR

The end of Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" has FDR's quote regarding the only thing we have to fear . . .

"Please Mr. Custer" by Larry Verne has the sound of Indian arrows whizzing past.

"The Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton has drums and cadence for marching.

"Western Movies" by The Olympics has gunshots.

"Machine Gun" by Jimi Hendrix and The Band of Gypsies has him, Billy Cox and Buddy Miles mimicking such a weapon on guitar, bass and drums.

That's all I have.



Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.

Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.

How bout

"An American Soldier" - Toby Keith

"Awake" - Godsmack So good the Navy picked it up. I still remember "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of all who treaten it!!!"

"Have you Forgotten" - Darryl Worley

"It Aint a Rag it's a Flag" - CDB

"America" - also CDB

Just a few I remember.

I thought that song by Daryl Worley and anything by Toby Keith are pretty much the worst thing to happen to music in a long time.

Thats all

Don't Hate Randy!! :-)

Lots of Pink Floys songs.

I guess it would fall into the mimicing the sounds of war category but what about

The Skatalites -- Guns of Navarone

One by Metallica, if that fits the criteria.

Here's another one I've heard the title to before but never heard the actual music until today:

Wellington's Victory by Beethoven

Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon

"Unknown Soldier" By The Doors

Move out Wildmen.

Dulce Decorum by The Damned starts off with excerpts from Winston Churchill's "this was their finest hour" Battle of Britain speech.
