Xavier Rudd - G.B.A. (GOD BLESS AMERICA) DVD

[@supermanhealth]

It's about anybody. From anywhere. It's about standing up to the big guys and not letting their wars get to out of hand. Even when you live amongst them. Especially when you live amongst them. And considering what I have incurred in my short 34 year life and being that I'm from America, I think I have a valid perspective. Personally, Mentally, Spiritually, Emotionally, Collectively and Conditionally...Ouch! God Bless Everyone! No Exceptions! Thank you Jesus! M. Manneback

[@ashypantz]

this is my favourite of his songs... had to go see him 3 times before he played it but it was worth it!

[@shanedcjazz]

The fact he's playing slide guitar, percussion, vocals, and a FUCKING DIDGERIDOO all at the same time is impressive enough. The fact the song is actually really quite good given all of that is what's mind blowing!

[@arkataka1987]

so strong....best vibration of the world... viva australia viva xavier rudd

[@trolltrumman]

This is the first I ever heard with him, and I keep comming back to this clip again and AGAIN... I think it is the best he's done of what Ive heard (limited to YT-clips sadly) I just LOVE it... and he's a fellow barefooter ;)

[@nubfaceforthelose]

This man has the best sense of rythm like.... ever

[@acousticsouljah]

heya cooks!! I'll bet ya he had ALL in mind when composing this master peice. GOD BLESS ALL.

[@gabeon]

MERVEILLEUX Xavier Rudd , quel Talent !!!!

[@Spiffynator]

[@YidakiDave]

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[@projectalice09]

xavier is so talented and its awsome how u have gba its such a gooder :)

[@Wag3P3ace]

How are people fighting over who the song is about? I'm an American and I'm ashamed that it is about my country and how true it rings.

[@onyachamp]

one can only imagine the shit he's playin in twenty years as he matures.musos like this bloke only get better with age.music with a message was the reason music was written in the first place.

[@TheTruth2012]

This is amazing. Mad Talent.

[@prjctcivilian]

seeing him twice this summer!!!!!!!

[@cashewdose36]

BEST song

[@bryannokes4024]

dig xavier is the man

[@wrules]

AWESOEME SONG

[@mattiabonisolli]

outstanding

[@hurricaneheiko]

thanks mate!

[@YidakiDave]

I didn't mean to say that he is not a proud Aussie, more that he tends to be inspired musically more on a global scale. Being Canadian, I share similar views of the States as Australians, and what they could do over what they end up doing.

[@YidakiDave]

I know you are just playin' Its all good!!!

[@YidakiDave]

I know, I see, I feel and yes I fear it everyday These ego's there minds and games With all their power could end our days Still the sun it shines and the moon it sinks with grace It's such a shame that all this shit exists Here on this earth, this magical place I'm doing fine

[@crawltoWALK]

i'm very distracted by his cuteness in this vid. :D YES, he's an incredible artist, seems (not having MET him) like a beautiful person etc.... But, I'm loving this luscious long blonde hair.

[@tjnomadi3648]

definitely makes sense to me that its about America..a no brainer really..Yidakidave I'd love to know what xavier spoke about with you re America and its abuse of power...

[@ArrRaven]

Gotta listen to the words :)

[@gesika66]

Gotta love Game Boy Advance. Tee Hee

[@YidakiDave]

I totally agree with you. You see the aboriginal people of Australia have a very similar (errie actually) history as the Canadian aboriginal people. Yes Australia's aboriginal culture is far far older but the way our governments treated them is almost identical right down to an apology.

[@saucybatwing11]

Who gives a shit whether you are american or australian... xavier rudd is an unbelievable musician and half of what he talks about in his songs is peace... i live in america and yeah its messed up but so is the rest of our world.

[@goosecock75]

Yup Your Right... Is It Just Saying That They egotistic? And Yet They Have The Power To End The World?

[@mamakinz]

We're so lucky to see Xavier in the states - Tonite is the kick off, for tour info visit... myspace(.)com/xavierrudd

[@FriendlyFantom]

HOLY SHITBALLS

[@trolltrumman]

And again with Scandinavia and the Saami.

[@YidakiDave]

Yes you have the funds and size and power to make some change What you have will break their smiles so many people so many ways each Child who walks their line should be free to run their race it's such a shame that all this shit exists here on this earth, this magical place I'm doing fine

[@YidakiDave]

@davintwat It stands for "God Bless America"

[@YidakiDave]

@goosecock75 I have actually had a conversation about this song with the man himself and it is America. Sorry to say. Listen to the lyrics REAL close. It will all make sense.

[@YidakiDave]

@tanti81 hey tani81, I assure you that its A=America. The lyrics speak volumes about the States

[@YidakiDave]

ARES is a file sharing site that people steal music from. That what I was replying to. Buy his dvd as well

[@croutondavis]

can someone please let me know how i can get my guitar to this tuning because i know its potentialy bad to tune ur guitar up so i was wondering if its possible or if i have to use a lapslide, also i know i can tune down to an open d but i want this tuning if its possible

[@StrompsXD]

well im from mexico and i dont give a shit if it is america or australia... in reality they are both freat countries, australia brought us the digeridoo, an amazing instrument... and well america brought un... hotdogs? i got nothing really :D, but this man has incredible skills, the top coment should be someone actually apreciating him, not the country the A of his album goes by.

[@sagewah]

@YidakiDave : "It's such a shame that all this shit exists here on this Earth, this magical place". If there was ever any doubt, that should seal it: its about the US of A :)

[@YidakiDave]

buy his cd

[@petersm69]

Anyone know what tuning he plays this in?

[@botchnizzle]

it's such a shame that all this shit exists, here on this earth, this magical place

[@InflatableAnchor]

@goosecock75 Specially since all the lyrics are ridiculing a piece of land. I find America more like that than Australia myself.

[@murds92]

if it is god bless america, its probably titled ironically.

[@goosecock75]

@peoplecracy even though it's from america only 1 of 3 of the co founders are actually american... typical american comment really...

[@hurricaneheiko]

anybody knows the tunig of the 12 string? i believe, its not E A D G B E...

[@goosecock75]

@Caleb4551 Nice troll effort.. but pretty sure our dollar just went past yours...? not much of achievement though really, cause at the end of the day America is really just a thrid world country.

[@musesoad]

game boy advance ? :p

[@goosecock75]

It's God Bless Australia...Seeing He Is From This Great Country.... Not Everything Is About America Ya Know... Fools!

[@YidakiDave]

His nationality has very little influence on his musical message.

[@Candoract]

@YidakiDave funny, isn't XR an athiest? nevr hear him speak of god. First lines of some people kind of state his stance.

[@frederwick1]

@YidakiDave Corporatism

[@mikey2u469]

his lyrics r relative to shit existing around the globe!!! he may come from Australia but his music is global!!!

[@monkybizzness2u]

giggity bad ass = GBA. obviously. duh ;)

[@HugooKap7]

God Bless All for the meaningless comentaries! Just enjoy, don't argue with your stupide country pride! One Earth!
