[@fredpayne6260]

If you grew up in the early 60s under the threat of forcibly being sent to war if you're date of birth was picked out of a ballot, this song means so much.

[@phizekes7162]

Eric Burdon with Aynsley Dunbar, on drums, two legendary Rock /Bluesmen, in Poland playing the full version of Sky Pilot, it doesn't get any better than that .Dunbar is one of the best drummer/percussionists in the world. He appeared on 15 F. Zappa projects, the drummer for Journey on their 3 initial albums, in addition to working with at least 20 more major artists in a career that started in 1961. Sky Pilot references the military Chaplains who must prepare the young soldiers for battle

[@thomasfoss9963]

Right on Phizeke--You know your shit!!!!!!!!!!

[@tool_fighter]

WNEW-FM was awesome!

[@phizekes7162]

I listened to the most progressive FM rock station, in the NYC Area, WNEW-FM, and at the time in 1968 played the full version of the song, in which, near the end of the song, the young soldier looks at the Sky Pilot and says to him, "THOU SHALT NOT KILL". The song mentions that after the soldiers go off into the battle zone, the preacher lies in his bed, hoping the men will find courage in the words that he had said to them. This song simply put, is Eric Burdons' indictment against the

As a young boy , walking to school , past the wind swept cliff faces of Bondi , my only friend , that gave me solace , were they . When i was young .

[@phizekes7162]

"He blesses the boys as they stand in line;" "He's there to help them all that he can, to make them feel wanted he's a good , holy man." "Smiles at the young soldiers, telling them it's alright' Knows of their fears in the forthcoming fight." Soon there'll be blood & many will die, and the Mothers and fathers, at home they will cry." " In the morning they return with tears in their eyes, the stench of death, drifts up to the skies, A soldier so ill looks at the Sky Pilot , he remembers the

Mission complete! You reach the sky...

[@debiedog1]

The greatest anti-war song ever written.....

[@sheripeters365]

debiedog1 no question about it. I love at the end when he says Pray for Peace everyday✌️

[@howardacquistapace5084]

yes and i like jimi hendrix' MACHINE GUN anti war peace and love and as eric repeats the first commandment "thou shalt not..."

[@williamdowning8706]

To many souls lost

[@phizekes7162]

the use of airplanes, machine guns, and gas warfare. Chaplains would prepare the troops for trench warfare. This was also the last war that had heavy use of bagpipes. They might have been used at Dunkirk and Normandy, but not after. this video kicked ass; I was very sincere in the beginning when I saluted Burdon, Dunbar and Poland' because if you can't be proud of your heritage, You have no pride at all. I'm a 2nd generation American, of Polish descent. READ FROM BOTTOM UP.

[@marvin666777]

To our current military servicemen and women, past and lost, Thank You Fine People!!

Speaks of the waste and hypocrisy💀. Rich war, poor fight!

Happy Birthday Sir Richard Branson

[@phizekes7162]

words; THOU SHALT NOT KILL." Sky Pilot, Sky Pilot, How high can you fly, You'll never, ever reach the sky." This song was more of a condemnation , that can go back to the Crusades, if not earlier, where Monks high priests, or some other sort of spiritual leader, would prepare the young soldiers or warriors to go out and fight for their country , or their God, whichever the case might be. Contrary to the people who only heard the 3;45 version of this song and not the almost 8 min. version.

You hit it right on the nail Phizeke!!!!

[@phizekes7162]

use of God's words or his works by the military or it's spiritual representative, or love of country, by those countries who have outlawed religion, in breaking the laws of both God and man; simply put you aren't allowed to kill. This song was never about the Vietnam war in particular, but war in general. It wasn't a protest against any war in particular, but by looking at the lyrics, it most particularly, criticized the "WAR TO END ALL WARS"; or WWI, which changed warfare forever, with

[@thomasfoss9963]

Again--you hit it on the head--War is hell--but people will never know the full effect until they are attacked,shot at, and outnumbered----

Que publicó tan ignorante y aburrido. Tener a una leyenda viviente con una canción icónica que marco toda una época y no enloquecer, es increíble...

Joseph Coleman You can’t be serious. You don’t have a clue. He is still singing today, sounds great and has millions of fans which you obviously aren’t

[@esterbergman1198]

A VERY BAD PERFORMANCE. CANNOT SING! Over-singing the Song! STICK TO THE "ORIGINAL" ARRANGEMENT! BAD BAD BAD BAD PERFORMANCE ON THE REMAKE OF THE SONG OR THE STYLE IN WHICH IT IS BEING DONE, SOUNDS STRANGE. ERIC BURTON IS TRYING "too hard" and he has RUINED ALL THE GOOD SONGS THAT "were" great hits! OVER SINGING THE SONG!

[@sheripeters365]

Ester Bergman What are you talking about???????? If you want to listen to the original version, listen to the album. He is doing the long version so he can’t imitate the helicopters etc. “Over singing songs that were great hits. Your not a fan. One of the greatest voices ever.

[@sheripeters365]

Jacky J Jones Acute Legend Syndrome???????????what the fuck is that? Singers get older. Things change. A true fan wouldn’t say that. Your a joke!!!

[@laurietopp6445]

Well it certainly is not as good as the original but the fact you call him "burton" shows wtf you know which is squat

[@sheripeters365]

laurie topp You go Girl!! I Love that song, and ERIC BURDON is the Greatest White Man Blues singer ever. Not to mention he has always been easy on the eyes ✌️
