Pra continuar assim é melhor parar é respeitar a memória da banda, triste ver a banda assim sem nenhum propósito, nem eles sabe o que estão fazendo ali no pauco 😢😢
i think if they wanted to keep playing together after jello left, they should have done what RATM did; find a new vocalist and play under a different name
@@drownthepoor I was gonna say whoever mixed for them definitely did something wrong or had some serious limitation on the gear available. Probably more of the latter. That said, this bass-heavy recording at 70% speed.... it's not good.
Thanks for posting. Very pleased I saw this 😮. Was going to pay £30 to see them in May in Bexhill UK, but would rather pay a fiver to see a cover band do it. Call it a day guys and remember the good times 👍🏻
I'm exactly the same. I drove down from London to see Devin Townsend at the DLWP in Bexhill recently and then found out that the DKs are playing there in May. I was already unsure about seeing them without Jello and now also without DH. I think I might give it a miss. It's a shame, cos I've been a DKs fan since 1980 and never seen them live. I did see Jello with The Guantanamo School of Medicine in London in 2009, and they were great.
@@hedgehog1965uk Big Country next weekend with Spear of Destiny supporting and the following weekend From the Jam supported by the Buzzcocks. Two good gigs at DLWP in a row 🙂
@@65BigNorm I used to see Buzzcocks pretty much every year during the 2000s, whenever they played a London gig. I even saw them at a small theater in Bromley and had front row seats (yes, SEATS), which was weird, but it ended well with those seats getting destroyed during the encore. I don't think I wanna see them without Pete Shelley though.
@@hedgehog1965uk Seen them many times, including the original line-up when they reformed in the late 80s. I saw them in December for the first time without Shelley and was surprised how good they were.
@@65BigNorm I assume by "original lineup" you don't mean with Howard Devoto :) I know what you mean though. I still have my "Buzzcocks Live legends" VHS tape, recorded in 1989.
The Dead Dead Kennedy’s. I don’t begrudge them trying to make a living but the DK’s without Jello is like the Talking Heads without David Byrne. Steve Perry or David Lee Roth might be available.
When i started looking at the band now, i thought Skip was Jello till i looked at the band's info. I still like this dude, i think he does everything he can to keep it alive.
The fact that he is doing an impersonation of Jello is the most un-punk thing I can think of. Seriously, they should deconstruct the song, change the body language and create something that sounds interesting. The fact that you are noticing the difference is exactly the problem. My opinion is that every band should evolve and reinvent themselves instead of striving for a close approximation of the very person who left the band. Having something ironic like Mark Mothersbaugh giving a Devo twist would be way cooler.
This is terrible. This does not have the same presence and energy that DK once had. This is just a bunch of old guys trying to cash in on what was once a great sound. It's actually kind of sad.
Im seeing DK this friday and yeah i wish jello was still with the band but i appreciate these guys still playing even though dead kennedys have already been solidified as one of the best bands in history. Also ngl that crowd was shite. I hope to see some energy this friday
This is, by definition, a travesty. It's a joke, a parody, and a hideous defiling of the legacy. Old fat people who need money are literally playing topical songs from the 1980s. There is no new material. Their young selves would laugh and spit on them. At least Jello has formed different bands and come up with new things to say. Jello is not perfect and he has perhaps taken too much credit for the legacy of the band. However, Jello is 87 percent of the legacy. This new incarnation is the definition of the Dread Pirate Robert. It's the name that counts while the individuals are irrelevant. I hate this more than needles in my eyes. I hate it more than wet socks.
Jello seems to pretty much saying the same things he's always said when I've heard him speak. Also I've seen him do DK's covers with other old bands. I do agreehis doesn't have the same energy or vibe that Jello gave the band.
Last time Skip version DK was in Australia Skip thought it was primary to bag on Australia and the value of our dollar at that time. Funny that. I spoke to D H peligro a couple times that night said why he was talking that shit for? D H said to me that night it wasn't called for from Skip. I had a few cigs at times with him that night. Skip can be put to bed. RIP my peligro he was gent that night talking.
I love the DKs, but I want my money back!! Truly sad. Recently, I was watching some old DK videos and thinking that Jello Biafra, because of his stage presence and physical performance, could have easily transformed into a Billy Idol type money machine around 1979-83. Either no moneyed backers saw what I saw, or Jello was for real. But by time Frankenchrist came out in 1985, it was too late. And that record was one I had to make myself like, much like Husker Du's Zen Arcade. The slightly more poppy, surfy California punk sound seemed like more of a natural progression in American music than NYC velvet underground style punk sound. But back then I would have been OUTRAGED if the DKs converted to Idol-esque punk pop, which I secretly enjoyed. I don't buy records or have a radio station, so who am I, then or now? All I know is is this is sad.
