Bruce Cockburn - If I Had A Rocket Launcher (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)

[@RickTurnerVoiceOverDemo-md4mb]

Artiste extraordinaire. Writer, amazing vocals, and some exceptional guitar skills.

[@user-mv7zf9pi4s]

Love love love this song Bruce, youre amazing!!!

[@MBFamilyFoodsPensacola]

He's one with the universe in this recording. My god, the guitar work!

[@MJH5477]

Onvoorstelbaar goed nummer en onvoorstelbaar actueel..

[@johnlratcliffe]

Just stunning!

[@thomsayers4688]

Just outstanding!!! Bruce is just gritting the refrain through his teeth here and the guitar break is perfect, incredibly articulate but complementary to the melody and spirit.

[@cnavak]

what a gem

[@JohannesLakshman]

ever since i heard this song back in the previous century i've always loved and felt his, sincerity, intenseness and righteous anger. Bravo Bruce and Jan-Douwe

[@edwardmorehouse1424]

Saw Bruce live onetime. He was excellent.

[@EDoubleMMusic]

Love this version! He plays it so well and the inflection of his voice is perfect. Love Bruce

[@gaiusthejurist8445]

My favourite version of this song too.

[@gwcstudio]

Hard to hear that as one guitar. Amazing.

[@advredenbregt2642]

Herinner me dat ik deze uitzending op de radio hoorde. Ademloos geluisterd

[@jpbonhomme5051]

His lyrics and guitar playing are uplifting.

[@walker70]

Nice version. I just won tix to see him next week. Rock on Bruce!

[@hippydippy]

Don't get much better than this... PERIOD.

[@pault.9842]

Loving the sound of that steel guit box

[@janmartens7954]

Wauw!! Een van de beste sessie ooit, toen al!!

[@franvarga709]

I've been thinking of this song a lot lately, in regards to the suffering people of Ukraine. Some things are timeless, and this song surely is.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Thanks for posting this. Terrific version (great sound production) of one of the best songs ever written.

[@chrisscott1633]

A Deep Song of " RISE UP AGAINST TYRANNY & OPPRESSION By Bruce Cockburn Brilliant Song (1984 2024 ) It Comes Down To The Conscience of Humanity . Our Destiny Relies On CONSCIENCE !

[@charliedronkers]

So great

[@pipecockjackxon3293]

One of the better 2 meter sessions

[@wouterdep]

Eindelijk op KZbin. Héérlijk!

[@karinweel4692]

Te mooi!

[@getredytagetredy]

That neumann mike is killing it...

[@vaastonline]

thx. made me smile...

[@GrunnenRocks]

Way better than the studio version out of 1984. Just heard that because I bought the Stealing Fire LP. Now I need to find the 7"-version of this since I want to get rid of the CDS;)

[@Stonecrow25]

Damn

[@jandenbrok9574]

Strongest protest song I know - so far. Another favorite: Lives in the balance, by Jackson Browne. Both about America's dirty wars, and both old. Can you suggest more recent songs so outspoken about political or economic injustice?

[@gregoryruyvaert9265]

White Buffalo - Wish it was true

[@macexpert7247]

Pink “dear Mr President”

[@mickplymale1226]

Sunday Valley- Folded Flag

Sturgil Simpson-Call To Arms

[@user-mv7zf9pi4s]

Waiting for a miracle

[@ash.r9k]

This dude will not be seen anywhere near a rocket launcher let's be real

[@amallulla2000]

If necessary, anybody can take up arms, and sometimes the power of lyrics can be stronger than all the weapons in the world. During the American civil war, high school teachers found themselves leading a platoon into battle.

[@user-mv7zf9pi4s]

His voice is a rocket launcher

[@kirkvannostrand772]

He probably should've not written this song if his true aim was to acquire weaponry of any kind

[@milesblent8344]

Who needs a weapon with a song like this?

[@steveedward7572]

You can borrow mine.

[@user-eg7jn5ev2b]

Jan douwe...thans.

[@macexpert7247]

Geweldig! Kan het zijn dat dit een tweede keer is opgenomen? Klinkt anders can van de cd die ik “grijs” gedraaid heb?

[@edwinghysebrechts9377]

Mac Expert vond ik ook precies, zit in de kleine dingen

[@wouterhumme3051]

Ik heb de cd versie vaker gedraaid dan goed voor mij is en ik denk het ook ;)

[@adrivandervurst3536]

@@wouterhumme3051 Ben niet zeker, maar denk dat de CD vroeger uitgebracht is dan 1998. Dus denk ook dat dit een tweede versie is.

[@wakkistefdakkimick2470]

Absoluut, en de cd-versie klinkt zelfs nog beter. Staat ook op KZbin, indien iemand zou willen vergelijken en genieten. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmTKoqJ6ZpesedE

The last millenium created some great music.

[@KingZebor]

Kippenvel

[@ash.r9k]

"if I had a rocket launcher, I'd make somebody pay" *Immediately pans down to his painted fingernails* This has to be a joke lol

[@richardwb1]

He uses his fingernails as picks. I think the "paint" is a nail hardener.

[@MOAONAABE]

back in the 80s i was working in the mailroom and some viet nam veteran was singing something over and over on the walkman headphones. i couldnt understand him. somebody said it was if i had a rocket launcher. he didnt see 60. them old timers feel sorry for stuff they were forced to do. not me. im 70 now and you cant get even when your planted in the ground.

[@gwcstudio]

I don't believe in borders

[@user-mv7zf9pi4s]

Doctors without borders!!! ❤

[@walcoman]

Makes you wonder if his personal manicurist starts sweating while working on his built in guitar picks! 😰😂🎸👐

[@ShaneP-v9q]

HE WAS SO SPEACIAL TO BRING HIS MUSIC TO THESE PEOPLE . INSTEAD OF WEAPONS HE TRUELY DOESNT BELIEVE IN HATE .
