Fang - the money will roll right in - 1984 Seattle at the Metropolis 

Brother... that's really cool to hear... I grew up going to Fang shows in SF & Alameda... & sadly never really appreciated Nirvana until recently, but knew they covered Fang, so I had a certain respect... the MIGHTY FANG... When all hardcore was speeding up, Sammy & Tom had the balls to slow it down & sludge it up... GROUNDBREAKING... & it found fertile ears & like minds in the PNW, where shit was dark & sludgy anyway... YEEHAW!

Here's a video Fang's singer talks about Nirvana ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lk6QNDUwQQk.html

Another reason to hate Nirvaner

Not then. Later.

0:58 it sounds like mark arm singing

Holy shit. Nice catch.

People don’t seem to understand how popular lsd was in the American underground in the 80’s and 90’s. Like almost all the artists were eating it as it was cheap and easy to get as was really good.

The mark of a great song, when Nirvana covered that song

well, if you were there...then we need your opinion lol

Interesting bro. I caught Tales of Terror with Black Flag on the Slip it in tour, '85-86. At Fisherman's Inn in Baltimore MD. They had a 1/s pipe called the Chesapeake Ramp & Steve Caballero wowed us all with his Caball - airial. I thought T of T was Skate Punk, like JFA - DRI, & even Suicidal Tendancies, but you did say they "started" grunge. Hardcore started to have all these mini-genres - skatepunk, thrashpunk, hardcore, straight edge. It was all just punk to me though. Alternative, Goth, Grunge hadn't been invented or labelled yet. But what did we know, we were just kids back then. I agree that the early Fang was the most fun & talented.

+Даниел Малинков YES YES it is :D

hooo¡¡¡ it is XD

Yes

Punk Rock Diner Really?? Where at? Any chance to get the full show?

+psychedelicheadcandy I I hear ya, I gotta upload more :)

Dude, it'd be the BEST early Fang video in existence. I'd kill for a full, uncompressed DVD version of the whole thing if you can torrent it :-)

yes !! min..1.44 o 1.45 ... also min..1.54...1.55.!!!

+bobby dingus He would have been like 14 or something though?

+Andre Krumins 17.

+plastic ring guy I dont remember seeing Kurt at this gig ~ I also took photos of this gig (no KC)

" Somewhere " = being in the same class as Buzz from the Melvins

AyeMod2k yes 👍

You are correct.

chris..still playin the bass- keepin it real...and a good friend of mine

Cedi M It’s not as if the Seattle Sound would’ve never been taken to the levels it would’ve if Kurt didn’t start Nirvana and inspire countless other bands like Alice in Chains, SoundGarden, Pearl Jam and many others. And you mentioned how Krist and Dave played in other bands in the metropolis, but they were pretty small and no where near the level of Nirvana. Say all you want, Nirvana

Yea, about blowing the scene up, and pretty much killing alternative music - totally true. I wasn’t living in Seattle, but this culture was my job, and entire life at that time. When Nevermind came out, things changed, and not for the better. Suddenly, a very media savvy & money centric culture landed in alternative culture. But, what was much worse were the types of assholes that were suddenly there at the shows being dicks, and just all around changing the landscape. It definitely wasn’t our insular thing anymore.

Novoselic used to drive us up from Aberdeen to go to shows at Gorilla Gardens. Any of you go to Black Flag at Thunderbird Gym?

@Bliss what are you talking about? Soundgarden was big way before Nirvana got its first "Paper Cut," ... Alice In Chains...part of a totally different scene until the metal & punk factions sort of started getting along, by being forced into playing shows together at Gorilla Gardens/Rock Theater. AIC got signed to Columbia while Nirvana was still on Sub Pop, and not many folks up here in Seattle thought they had much in common musically or otherwise. And Pearl Jam? Inspired by Nirvana? That's ridiculous. They were inspired by the possibility of becoming big rock stars by writing music that was well-suited for stadiums and commercial radio...and whaddaya know...it worked! Cedi M is right when he says Mark Arm (and Mudhoney) deserve a lot of credit for the success of the "Seattle Sound." They were Sub Pop's # 1 priority back in the day and the spotlight was squarely on them when the "Seattle Sound" broke through to the UK. Soundgarden gets equal credit, as they were the second band to be "signed" to Sub Pop, the first of the "G word" bands to be signed to a major label, and the first to go on the "big boy" tours. And, just for the record, no, I never saw Cobain at the Metropolis either.

Mudhoney was way better, and enduring and not a tool of david geffen. They also covered this. Better.

What does the writing on Sammys trousers say

Ouch.

Couldn’t help but chuckle at this observation.

nevermind, it's Mark lol

This is a million times better than shitvana ever was.

@@billywiththebulgingbaloonb5105 someone’s angry bout the truth

@@drfancyman6616 maybe he has his own personal opinion, maybe he just doesnt like nirvana

ugh. they were good...not great. Mudhoney. Reigning Sound...Greg Oblivian is a way better songwriter, more prolific and not moronic enough to procreate with Courtney Glove

@@drfancyman6616 it's not the truth it's an opinion. I prefer Fang but it's just my opinion

😂😂😂😂

poser

😁😂😅

Mudhoney were in the crowd
