It's both sad and inspiring to see this. I keep coming to this performance every once in a while. Humans are such an enigma and yet so predictable. This has to be one of the most ironic and significant performances done in the last whatever years. Thank you for existing, Laibach.
It´s simple. Laibach is for people looking for Rammstein, but actually can think. (I know thats unfair, I love Rammstein) But they never touched me like Laibach.
We rise, we grow We walk and we stand tall We never fall As big as the sky As far as the dawn We walk And we do not fall We sleep, we dream With no time in between We never stop Whistling our chant In the heat of the night We sing The spirit is clean From north and south We come from east and west Breathing as one Living in fame Or dying in flame We laugh Our mission is blessed We fight for you For freedom unforeseen Thinking as one Rolling along To the beat of the drum We march The black cross machine We stand alone But soon the day will come When freedom rings We'll meet again Now eternally And walk Once more as one!

Pure brilliance from Laibach. The priceless respons from the audiences faces is a piece of art in itself. This mesmerising bunch of true, immoral and immortal artists has deserved to be the first band on the moon. These guys are just out of this world, and way beyond the limits of the universe.
I've seen the documentary that shows how hard it is to get this show going. Ofcourse the audience is staged, but it's impressive what Laibach performed on stage.. there's no other non-northkorean band who could pull this off! Great respect for LAIBACH!!
@@TayTayMakesBeats They’re not for everyone but I always loved them. You never get the same thing twice. Kapital is their most consistent album IMO, though all their albums are unique & good in their own way.
Libach endorses dictatorship regimes. It is very clear from their installiotions and projections. That's how. Or do your think North Koreans would invite someone who is not on their side?
Watching this from the poorest, most violent city in the United States; Flint, MI. The last verse hits really hard. My Cherokee-Irish great Uncle was a G.I. in the Korean War, and he's easily the toughest guy I've ever met. He's still alive at 92-years-old. Perhaps he may live long enough to see Korea united again. Man, this video is mind-blowing.
@FakMalDjuzz "Сегодня слушает он джаз, а завтра родину предаст". Я помню как нам на внеклассных уроках в школе, в 80-х, рассказывали про рок-музыку, безапелляционно внушая, что если ты послушаешь любой рок, то ты рано или поздно закончишь наркоманом. На меня, подростка, это произвело очень сильное впечатление. И когда я узнал, что мне, оказывается, нравится рок-музыка (я слушал пинк-флойд со старой бобины, которую купил в комиссионке, не зная название группы) - я думал что все, я уже, считай, потерян для общества и скоро стану наркоманом... Пропагандистов нужно расстреливать!
we rise, we fall, we walk and we stand tall, we never fall... as big as the sky, as far as the dawn.... we walk and we never fall... plays the heart strings just right, doesn't it?
Cómo es posible que yo haya pasado 37 años de mi vida sin conocer esta majestuosa banda!! es excelente! se ha vuelto de mis favoritas!! este sonido de alguna manera me cautiva y es estremecedora su puesta en escena.
I saw Laibach during their first European tours in the '80s. Incredible. Ideology? Capitalism? Communism? BS. As people, we don't need to be straight-jacketed into any dogma. There are so many great comments in this thread: respect, comrades, brothers, and sisters.
I mean, they call themselves "laibach", which is what Ljubljana was called under the nazis. So your whole question of "ideology" is a bit weird. When people tell you who they are, believe them?
@@narfle Well, when considering the German name of Laibach for Ljubljana stretches back to 1144, I think it makes your 'Nazi' dig look a bit weird too!
@@narfle It's art. When you walk around with a hammer, does everything in this world that triggers you personally, become a nail? There was a band called The Presidents of the United States of America...believe them? The world is nuanced and this is the currency and context Laibach are playing with.
The dude at 1:50 widens his eyes and lifts his eyebrows twice in surprise when he hears "We fight for you / for freedom unforeseen." While you may think of North Koreans as brainwashed and ignorant, anyone high enough up in the social ladder to be sitting there in a theater in Pyongyang is going to have a keenly honed political instinct and extensive ideological training, simply because those are requirements for literal survival. That guy understands exactly what's being said and the implications.
I live in middle of consumerism society and come to conclusion that every aspect of life in this system is just one big brainwashing. You have to be like robot in your work and consumerism zombie in your free time to prevent collapse of this system.
Those peoples faces. They probably have no idea what they are singing but are moved to tears. Music is such a beautiful thing that all humans should have the right too do and to enjoy.
NRK are known to do quality recordings, they are or at least were frequent visitors to the Roskilde festival here in my country, and did some smashingly good air to air recordings that DR actually bought back in order to broadcast.
I have been a fan since the eighties and have to say Laibach keeps inspiring me all these years later. Unfortunately I wore out my Laibach tie a few years ago.
They were singing: We stand alone But soon the day will come When freedom rings We'll meet again Now eternally And walk Once more as one! in the face of N. Korean people, while Kim Jong-un was present, and STILL people call those true artists fascists.
I keep getting drawn back to this, possibly the best performance of our time. If there will come a time in the life of the audience members when they'll be allowed to research and understand what they saw?
Simply as that , look at those faces , regime tells to its people: look that will be a music if korea will not be a korea. Despite that i love laibach , even most europeans are not ready for such music. They have been played
I am glad I have seen a few smiles ...When pronounce "Laibach" go as deep as you can with your voice...like singer :) ...just than it makes a perfect sense, conclusion made long time ago,....beautiful music for my my late friend, brother in arms... Irfan who really loved them very much, he would've enjoy it!
The brightness of things usually happens in the first contact with the unknown, they are listening to a musical style very different from what they are used to. It happens to anyone when they are faced with what is not common in their life.
Everyone's in the hall watching it with vibe "is this allowed according to party doctrine and its supreme leader? Will I not go to prison for watching this?"
That one girl who reacts with surprise when the song comes to life. Priceless.
and the one behind her :)
And the dude whose eyes got real big when Milan says that line about fighting for you.
Covered one ear in disgust

We walk and we stand tall
We never fall
As big as the sky
As far as the dawn
We walk
And we do not fall
We sleep, we dream
With no time in between
We never stop
Whistling our chant
In the heat of the night
We sing
The spirit is clean
From north and south
We come from east and west
Breathing as one
Living in fame
Or dying in flame
We laugh
Our mission is blessed
We fight for you
For freedom unforeseen
Thinking as one
Rolling along
To the beat of the drum
We march
The black cross machine
We stand alone
But soon the day will come
When freedom rings
We'll meet again
Now eternally
And walk
Once more as one!
