Devo - Whip It (Live On Fridays) 

Devo came out in 1979 ...

That's awesome.

@@Paulvon128 there is old footage from 1977.

@@Paulvon128 They started in 1970 and performed here in Akron at the Crypt starting around 74. They were signed in 77 and the first album came out in 78.

Devo has no where near the talent as the TALKING HEADS.DEVO only had one hit song,WHIP IT and nothing else.Its only that one song ,the hats and wierd act that these nerds have for a claim for fame.They are one group that will never make the HALL OF FAME !!

Totally agree. ☺️👍

They fucking sucked ass

Aaron Kerr Your simplistic opinion is noted. However, any informed analysis would conclude that DEVO were fantastic visual and conceptual artists, and they were excellent players and performers. The inability of listeners accustomed to mainstream genres of popular music to recognize their value merely affirms it.

@@aaronkerr5993 Your ass I presume? If so then that must be some tasty de-evolved conformist ass. Congrats.

Hmmm this song isn't a great example of their songwriting songs.

Theres no real melody to sing !! Just some rap like lyrics.

Yep, there is a wrong bass note and the guitar is out of tune. It's wonderful, live music.

All Fridays performances are live. ... one of the best being The Jam delivering a blistering rendition of Private Hell!!

@@jamesburnsfisher3304 so what you're telling us is you have a case of aluminum ears? Coors beer?

Correct.

That puts a a smile on my face

Goof catch

Lol is that what those hat things are called?!? That's some good shit👍

Hilarious

Drummers weirdiers than bassistes

Heartily agree.

Actually they were a band of kids called the coneheads that are like devo in speed, also amazing band.

@@MegaLuxury1 Wasn’t that Dev2.0?

@@nmulae no its coneheads, if you know how to read.

So much better than the original lol

I was fortunate enough to see them in the mid-80s when they were touring the NEW TRADITIONALISTS and OH NO, IT'S DEVO! albums. The shows were incredible.

energy domes ✨ ❤️

You are the truth !

They were terrible and now days wouldn’t even been give man a chance. Terrible shallow music with shitty lyrics.

@@aaronkerr5993 you obviously have only heard whip it.

@@aaronkerr5993 Back to the Greta Van Fleet videos for you.

@@aaronkerr5993 Dude, every genre , all of em completely followed DEVO'S subversive lyric style you have no idea what the F you're talking about,, literally the starting point of all alternative music from 71 to now. All thersongs are taking a swipe at Man's Herd mentality and provicked its fans back in the early days. DEVO Completely avoided the so called AOR top40 chart Bs, and only relented in 82 with whip it. ,No you like a nice little escapist type lyric, beside the point BS that does zero for your mind, ,, to boot, DEVO is the only band in rock history born after 2 members, ,both students at KENT state ,, you know, the college that gave us the First College murder spree on campus, by our own National Guard during a Anti Vietnam rally.. 5 students including a young 20 year old lady friend in attendance with the Bass player.Gerry CasaleI, (I know you have seen the picture of that youngun face down in a thick pool of blood from a head shot by the our very own NG. THE lyrics In all of their songs have deep meaning and are very informative. But know you like a band with fake posture , pretentious, rock god crap with explosions, shiney things to look at , and smoke,,, with mirrors.,, back to your lame music.

The drum beat was copied from a recording they made of Robert Williams, who was playing in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band at the time. www.rhino.com/article/interview-gerald-casale-of-devo?fbclid=IwAR0Ey5P0esFoVvMLzvqzQmiJarfnGL_W0ll0mHqUjOIdZuZDfr8-GFV9tzc

@@bandoogore I suppose there must be a connection between that and the fact that Williams & Hugh Cornwell's Nosferatu has a track on it that's actually by DEVO: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NpvxO3-Q65s.html

I see what you did there at the end....

Kinda has a bit of punk to it the speed with the disco style beat

That tour was the first time I saw Devo and my mind was blown.

WOW! Sparks... I nearly forgot about the Sparks! Great bands have come and gone and many people will never hear the great music we grew up with.

@@chrischapman276 Even more than DEVO, Sparks never went. Check out their latest: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWb3KpvAz8s.html

They just decided that synthesizers, guitars, bass, and drums could all be on equal footing in a kind of reductionist New Wave act.

Check out “Let me Tickle Your Fancy” by Jermaine Jackson…Devo played on that song, a strange and great collaboration!

It sounds like all the lower notes were flatted out, and the highs were in sharped.

If you like DEVO, listen to the band The Network, a side project of Green Day, which has a debauched new wave sound, heavily inspired by DEVO

Real bling drum set up ... pushing buttons and technical bubbles in the trunk

I remember that. There was a loca lweekend tv show on kron called SFO. Devon appeared on that tour and performed/were interviewed.

I think *everybody* missed this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VGQvxce33OQ.html

FELIZ 2017 SALUDOS. . .

Larry Williams yup but 2018

The rock hall of fame is now a joke bringing in rappers instead of real rock artists that needed recognition for their work. Anyway it's the fans that matter most to a rockband and not that stupid award.

@@dredgewalker Hip hop had a huge effect on rock! Ask Aerosmith and Anthrax!

@@thescatman5029 both rock and hip hop influence each other but they can still keep their genres separate. Heck the Chinese influenced the Italians on making pasta but you don't see them calling spaghetti as a Chinese dish. This is why the newer generations are easily confused since they don't know how to make the distinctions even in sex. You can say classical music too has influence in rock but you don't Bohemian rhapsody classified as classical music don't you?

Step on a line, break your daddy's spine...

IKR? This is a live performance but those drums sound like they're straight off the record.
