I have a question about the following line: "Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said: 'Peace could last forever'?" I assume the black arm band signifies something. Can anybody explain?
Do anyone know who this guerilla leader is?
Guns n' Roses vocalist Axl Rose uses Confederate clothes and Union clothes intechangeably in his Live renditions of "Civil War," so, contrary to the bias on this page - it IS indeed (also) about the American Civil War.
It seems as though Wikipedia's pernicious liberal bias, is, again, here at play. --Unsinged
GN'R released this song first on a benefit album, then on Use Your Illusion II and then as single but why have they made such a song? And why have they released it in 1993 as a single? Please help me! Thank you!
"Civil War" is a Guns N' Roses song (written by Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan), originally appearing on the 1990 album "Nobody's Child", a fundraising compilation for Romanian orphans. It is a protest song about war, that amongst other things say that a civil war only "feeds the rich while it buries the poor". Notably, the United States was involved in no major military operations at the time of its recording, so it is mostly thought of as a tribute of sorts to 1960's anti-Vietnam protest songs.
I may be mistaken, but wasn't there that whole Gulf War thing going on at the time? The Gulf War (1990–1991)

The result of the move request was: ( non-admin closure) WITHDRAWN - apparently editors don't feel theoretical confusion with Civil War song justifies a move. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 17:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Civil War (song) → Civil War (Guns N' Roses song) – Insufficient or incomplete disambiguation. While this would be a primary topic for "Civil War" if only songs were considered, the threshold is higher for using incomplete disambiguation. The topic of songs about or from the American Civil War (etc.) as well as a song from Captain America: Civil War (soundtrack) are sufficient that this title should be further disambiguated.
