Cinaruco Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 The best war metal in recent memory is Sabaton, its like Iron Maiden without the steroids, though their songs are far more specific about warfare. Some are terrible, but these two are the best From Stalingrad to Berlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9V-DYLUc3Y&bpctr=1530654791
FlyingCanOpener Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Don't do much music, but how can this Sabaton song not be posted yet? Makes me want to put wings on the nearest horse and charge into a column of tanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DS4NbClmEGA
Stuart Galbraith Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) The Eternal Zero? There was a feature on BBC about Japanese war films a couple of weeks ago and it touched on that one. Looks pretty good. Edited July 12, 2018 by Stuart Galbraith
Stuart Galbraith Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Which brings us neatly to 'Empire of the Sun'.

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Im not sure anyone else on Tanknet would agree, but a vote of confidence is always appreciated.
Briganza Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 It's the 12th. Put it in your youtube and sit back with the volume up.

Stuart Galbraith Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Which brings us neatly to 'Empire of the Sun'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyf059psVew 映画は面白そう。ありがとう。 One of Spielburgs best films. Its from the novel by Science Fiction writer JG Ballard, which is about the only novel of his ive read and still stands strong in my mind 30 years later. Yes, that good. Ill warn you, its not easy viewing. But its about the cultural conflict of a Young British boy, split between his British background and his admiration of Japanese values. It comes out stronger in the book, but still a damn fine film IMHO.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNTQSbvlutg

bojan Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Empire of the Sun was IIRC based on Ballard's personal experience. Edited July 12, 2018 by bojan
Stuart Galbraith Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Yeah, Lunghua civilian assembly centre near Shanghai.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunghua_Civilian_Assembly_Center I remember at the time of the film, some of the others whom were there as children at the same time as Ballard complained he had airbrushed the experience, and that it was far worse than he portrayed. Im rather glad he did personally, that was surely challenging enough. And somehow I think more would have been less, as a novel at any rate. Edited July 13, 2018 by Stuart Galbraith

BansheeOne Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 Just came across the video to James Blunt's "No Bravery", including footage from the video diary he did while deployed to Kosovo as a Scimitar troop leader with the Blues and Royals in 1999, where he wrote the song. Also, behold the armored Teutonic Terror by Accept.
Stuart Galbraith Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 No exactly military, but if you see it you will get why its included, particularly 2.52. Oh, and I liked Marillion. So sue me.
Stuart Galbraith Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 And since I seem to be on a bit of an 80's fixation at the moment, you may as well have this too.
Stuart Galbraith Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Thats really good. Remind me a little of Clannad. Edited September 24, 2018 by Stuart Galbraith
