Great vid,this was my life in the 80s so many good hardcore ,and punk bands,I saw almost all the band in this vid.I would do it all over again. Sucks to be 46 lol
Hey, thank you for being one of those that offer us a forum to voice our opinions and thoughts. Without people like you, there would be no us. So I must thank you in return.
Keli Lalita Dasi I'm 42 and it feels like last month I was going to these shows and being young and not giving two fucks about anything. Miss these days but have the memories and three kids to get down with this eventually 😎😉
I also had this on VHS, Smash Records in Georgetown, DC. So many memories, saw all these bands live when they came to DC. Glad to see some of these guys still around putting it down HARDCORE will never die, true a lot of these guys weren't in it for the $$, just music from the heart.
All these bands were on fire at this moment in time! AF especially we’re just on another level you knew even back then they were and always would be something special
I watched this so many times in the early 90's. I would love to see the hours of raw footage, both live & interview, that didn't make the final cut for this video.
Im 44 . I got into metal with Black Sabbath as a kid when I was 8 , then Motorhead at 9 , then Minor Threat at 10 or 12 and i was off to the races !!!!! I hung out with punks and skins and all in between as a kid ! But I found my own place through hardcore music . Terror is a band I dig off the top of my head now days . Stick tight !
I wasn't too much different from these kids, hell I even did a hand full of shows with the Cro Mags and Sick of it all back in their early years. I was proud to see shows put on for kids by kids. Today our worst fears have come true and shows are put on by big corporations. Do these corporations have yours or my best interest in mind? No! So avoid them all you can and support local acts, go start a band, put on a show while we still have the right.
Yes!!!!! Thank yoy for saying this. It hasn't quite aged well as its 2024 and we still have the right to rock. Hardcore and metalcore and all the subsequent genres are seeing a resurgence!!! The world is sick of hip nation and all the bullshit. I love hip hop and rap music. But the fact that that became the dominant sound and for a long time the only genre that my generation wanted to hear..things have gotten dicey!!!! I am a proud New York Hard Core recording artist and lemme tell you. The scene is strong and this shit is gonna be bigger and better every year. 🤘🤘🖤🖤
ive seen sick of it all more than any other band. in the 80s and 90s they toured with everybody.saw them opening for dri,biohazard,agnostic fron,the exploited,warzone,fuckin body count.i dont even know how many times ive seen them. but they were always fukn badass
Tim Williams was the best sounding hardcore singer in this scene imo. Regardless of drug taking or not. It's not my business. He sounds good. That's all I care about.
The 80s nyhc saved my life. No sell out here 47 still listen still respect! Miss it . Warzone ny hoods youth of today minnor threat John Jospeh rat bones stickman.token entry cryptic slaughter jello hey we won
what is all this bring back talk on people´s cultures fucking weird as fuck people still identify with their cultures now why is this on numerous videos of different cultures we grew up in around
Props to you Keith from North Alabama. Shows by kids for kids is alive and well, for the most part anyway. The kids from teen to us in our thirties on up are working hard to play, for free lots of times. One thing that keeps it alive where I live are you guys from the beginning that never lost it by selling out to the corporate rock machine. Living in Cali I could see a show weekly; shaking your hand was a bonus.
cool to know hardcore history of hardcore people older then me even I'm 38 now respect for people who put this movie to you tube ,making chance for us to see culture which make big influence on my music views and life style views in my 90's younghood haha but they started this shit 10 years earlier
I go to every show I can when bands I like are in a 100 mile driving radius because you never know when this might be their last tour. They killed off C.B.G.B.'s, and all our other local promoter/DIY venues in the NYC area so what do we have here? Irving Plaza, Grammercy, big venues, big business, big corporations. But they book the bands I want to see and support.
I was at this show. I feel like the violence at shows really took hold when the breakdowns were sort of a call to be violent rather than the message of HC. the knuckleheads just started showing up for the beatdowns in the breaks.
keith morris i tip my hat to you from the uk the american bands walked like they talked it unlike the clash who singed to cbs it deafeats the very messsage they put out there this attitude of being against the system then they sign with the vey thing they are suppose to be against.this is why i admire the american punk bands of the early eighties i felt they meant it where bands from my own country didnt.
Dont feed his ego...trust me, hes not the nice American stud you think he is. He hits women. Addiction to meth at 65 years old. He steals from neighbors and he is an all around peice of shit. Could give a fuck how long someones been around.. .if they are a peice of shit...they are a peice of shit
At 21:00 I think Danny Lilker and John Connelly were slightly off the mark there or rather a lot of great black metal with pagan imagery and themes did eventually evolve and has a lot going for it
I'm both a fan of metal and hardcore and you're right,it shouldn't be fancy. Simple metal riffs can work but keep it simple, heavy and aggressive, that's hardcore@@bleakforecast9906
right there with ya man, but sadly in some markets it's all we have. Ye sI would prefer to stick with the local promoters, but then I'd have to sacrifice seeing many bands I love and grew up on, like you guys. While mI hate having to pay $35 for a concert ticket then get banged for a $15 "service charge" on top of that, I look at it as supporting the band, not the company or corporation putting on the show. Hard to escape Live Nation around here.
Yes, we do play bigger shows. Keen observation, Benjamin. Much like we do with OFF! and previously with Circle Jerks. My point, however, was to go support local acts whenever possible. I stand by the statement that these big corporations do not have yours or my best interest in mind. If I was 100% in charge of booking, we would probably never leave California but once or twice a year.
You have this need to constantly drop your bands name, and how long you have been around. Many other folks have mentioned this as well....to the point where its becoming a running gag. Your a dirty old hippy my friend.. skull fucking the fruits of your Youth.
