A terrific song which captures the chaos of and emotional response to war perfectly imo. Great track, brilliantly delivered. And given the storyline of the album, absolutely right as the opening track for me. I don't view or listen to this album as a collection of songs, but as a complete work, enhanced by the power of the story and the journey the character takes; so for me it's the only track which is right to open the album, and each track builds on the next whilst linking backwards to previous tracks and forward into those which follow.

I find scoring Meat's work a trifle invidious .. So as I have no fault to find with the concept, the lyrics, the music and Meat's delivery .. why on earth would I rate it less than 10? :)

while i disagree with the fantasy storyline of the album, and the fact it IS a collection songs, (almost as much recycled songs as a steinman composition only from different writers with different concepts) rather than a complete work, with no tracks building to the next or linking backwards, or forwards as is suggested..

I really like peace on earth

great choice for an opening song!

Can I change my score from 7 to 8? Changed my mind! Also where's the next song? You've done the first three but it's been a while.

Give this a 10 ! I would have given it a 9, but hearing it live altered my mark !

10/10 this is an AMAZING song, love it.

The original song is slightly better than Meat's version but this one has cool orchestration. The only thing I dislike is the "hang cool, teddy bear" line they added to the lyrics. I always have to think of the scene in the Russ Meyer movie when I hear it, it doesn't fit into the song, in my opinion.

8.5

Best thing to do is just feed them fear. Get them thinking about there and forgetting about here!
