Nam music
 

Hey,
I don't know if this is truly in the right section but it fits in right IMO.

Do you guys know which bands soldier's listened to back during the Vietnam conflict?

- Rolling stone?
- ???
- ???
- Vietnamese talking.

Thanks,
SergeantMajor

Rob Zombie.

Seriously though, just rent any Vietnam film. They always have that kind of stuff playing in the beginning when everyone's all psyched to go out and kill some gooks before they actually get out there and get slaughtered instead.

Was thinkin the same thing, where's Jimmy???..hey joe or even machine gun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Ebcx-mTns
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3Sc8...eature=related

Check out Tour of Duty (tv series)...the theme was Rolling Stones - Paint It Black (still one of my favs).

ya, you guys need Jimmi. Hell even in platoon they were playing voodoo child and all along the watchtower is always classic to.

Found this website: The Vietnam War Song Page


http://members.tripod.com/~ffhiker/index-3.html

Check out Battlefield Vietnam for a good sample of Vietnam era music.

To me the era was defined by the Stones, Doors, CCR, Hendrix and Joplin. But there were so many great ones...

Ld

I have BFV, the songs are nice, but get a little repetitive

I know it's been over a year since this has been posted on but you guys forgot "Run Through the Jungle - Creedence Clearwater Revival"!!! That is THE vietnam song, listen to it!!

When did this place fill up with hippies?

The soldiers listened to two kinds of music. Country and Western.

Shit... adding this page to my favorites... wicked song lists right there.

actually most movies depict a slaughter but when it comes to total number of amarican deaths the number is around 58,000 GI's and for NVA around 3,000,000. Not a slaughter at all as far as a amarican goes

YES!! that's what I think of whenever I see them GI's moving through the bush!

Because conscription forced a lot of black people who actually had good taste in music to go over to Vietnam.

You're treading on the thin line of total sense of humor failure.

Watch a current movie, listen to the soundtrack. Is it music you listen to?

In thirty years time someone will be asking you about Boy George, what's your answer going to be?

I just wrote a 4 hour history exam before I posted, so that would explain the sense of humour failure.

I did kind of get my line wrong, I should have send "both kinds of music", not "two kinds of music".

I need all the help I can get. Sheesh.

Been to that site before, it is a real good read

I think weve got alot of cool song here !!!

I'm sorry it an old thread but i just can believe that no one said "Hello Vietnam" by Johny Wright

Only that song is not by Jimi, it is a Bob Dylan song.

Just watch "Good Morning Vietnam" and check out the song list in the credits.

This is a great thread.

Its all about the classic rock.

A lot of people do "all along the watch tower" and jimi hendrix version is my favorite and most likly the most well known version as well, but it's was Bob Dylan's song first.

Was trying to figure out how to embed some vids but it didn't work. Maybe I'll try again in the morning.

GOD's MUSIC.
 

This Thread is not complete without Uncle Merle and Papa Johnny Wright!!!

JOHNNY WRIGHT hello vietnam Side One - YouTube

Merle Haggard -- Okie From Muskogee - YouTube

wow, totally forgot about that song. Good tune right there.

Looks like most of all the cliche ones have been named. A good CRR Vietnam song though is "Run Through the Jungle." (Let the people know my wisdom, fill the land with smoke!)

I didn't see Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones but I may have missed it.

It's ironic most of the good Vietnam songs are actually against the war/satire.

We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin' - YouTube

I was going through some old school songs because I want to attempt putting together a video of the June 16th Vietnam MilSim and I thought:

Would Surf Guitar be considered Vietnam Era music? It's mainly from the 50's -60's.

I know all these songs listed are the iconic ones, but would people feel surf guitar flows well too? It's one of my favorite genres and goes well sometimes with battle footage depending.

Examples of Surf Guitar:

PIPELINE - The Chantays - YouTube
The Centurians - Bullwinkle Part II - YouTube
Pulp Fiction -Out Of Limits -The Marketts - YouTube
Squad car - Eddie and the showmen - YouTube

On a side but related note, I found this which people may enjoy:

Vietcong music( Pseudo Hendrix ) - YouTube

Was a great game.

adding this to the line. Such a good remix.
