Rhythm Device - Acid Rock (1989) 

Max Gershfield ha ha classic comment

Damn that is funny.

They actually had to stop having “talent shows” in schools where I live for literally that reason…

This is actually very normal in Belgium. This attire and dance are pretty customary in the Walloon region on New Year's Day. 😅

This was parading 80s cheese, while during the 80s..

To this day

This was Belgian New Beat.

🤣

And never will.

@@bugout2hills hahahaha niceeee

@@bugout2hills Haha

“AHHHHHH!!!!!!”

@@bugout2hills LMAO !!!

thought it was clean and happy lol

@@RepublicofODLUM I thought it was "keen and heavy" 🤷🏻

The clean heavies… Sounds like the lgbt gang from “the warriors”…

I think it's 'Clean and heavy"

Try 2023. 😁

2024 here

DJMAUS Same

Also same

Hands down! totally agree!

RIGHT?! And no judgement on the video; they're feeling it as much as I am!

Me too, and I mostly listen to polka.

Still the fucking best.

@@AnonymousNothing and still

There is not enough acid in the world to get me to enjoy this shit or think it is rock but I've watched it about 20 times today because it makes me laugh so damn hard.

STILL IS!!!

Still

Just read my msg from 10 months ago. lol same deal. Not lying here!

the videoclip was 10 years out off his time,, and Frank de Wulf (he is a genious)

It's like a weird Matt Berry Sunff Box skit

You're feeling clean and happy

Im okay with that. Beats anything they'd learn on the history channel

@@RokuErickson i agree, this also beats any porn video from the same period.

@@DavidBoura This is where you and I part ways sir

@@RokuErickson VHS and Betacam played a role in demography

@@DavidBoura VHS was the peak of porn tbh

Dude, STFU!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕

ROTFL 🤣

It was huge for me this I bought it on 12" and I danced at home to it, at my friend's and in lots of northern UK warehouse clubs but the video I only saw recently and though FS that's camp😂😂

Best comment

"The Greenwich Lords of Gay". Attacking with hairspray.

azynkron looooooool. Pmsl laffin,, wot a comment

Instead of The Lizzies..it's the Jizzies..

"the clean-heavies"

ya think they weren't rollin back then. lol

Yep from way back in the day, good times

I remember it from illegal warehouse parties uk

Was it clean and heavy? 😮

😂😂😂

@@SirGingrich Well played, Sir.

@@SirGingrich LOOOL

who saw that coming ?

We are one.

we are the tunnel snakes and we rule

Hey Amata, i can show you a REAL Tunnel Snake

gay or not gay.....that's not the point... The point is that THIS SONG was a BIG BIG tune in our Belgian scene of New Beat.....

Getting that good old acid cock 😂

+ShueTube *conceiving

Thinking while conceiving LOL

ShueTube 😂😂😂

ShueTube wtf

I’d like to think that too, but I also know better.

The good old days ! Goeie herinneringen!

Happy ending.

NEW BEAT

fuck yeah . did i ever dance to this

Semenal.

@@ClarenceJBoddicker1987 semanal

I mean clearly the whole thing is preposterous but I was just thinking the exact same thing! The comments section on this thing is pure gold!

@@albert341 Isn't it just. Having a bit of a heavy work day today so thought I needed some light entertainment. Acid Rock was my first choice to listen to and reading these comments is amazing. So much good shit under here

He is probably dead now

Agreed! He puts full extension into every motion, single-handedly making this video worth watching. He's dancing like he's auditioning for the role of a lifetime (for all we know, maybe he was). If so, I hope he got it!

I'm glad somebody else noticed lol

Keep reaching for that rainbow!

It’s a shame so much of their work has gone over seas. “Gay Steel Workers of China” have no idea that rock went from easy to clean and heavy.

hot stuff comin through!

"Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?" "I don't know!!"

God bless ’em.

I absolutely love this video it is a moment in time and I don’t know about the miming even that adds to the lore but the dancing well that’s seals the deal ❤️🎼🎶🕺🏿

🤣

Update: 14 years later still no words.

If you were around when this appeared there was no such thing as "genre" just lots of mad tracks and lots of experimentimatation. Lots of tracks from around this time are the roots of the music you hear from the next 20 years. Can't really be doing with pretentious crap. What genre of food r u into at the mo?

Pizza. I've eaten pizza from a different place every day this week.

Or minmal or tech house or whatever.

Stuart Houghton I don't really want to call anything. I mostly listen to weird metal from Europe, or video game boss tracks. However, I concede that you have clearly put far more research, effort, and thought into my joke from 5 months ago than I ever did. :P

Didn't need to do any research was there in blackburn when this was being played 25 years ago ...

This videoclip was recorded live at a showcase in the Cherry Moon dancing the Lokeren in early 1989 by Harry's Picture Film with participation of BASF. It is part of the HPF VHS videocassette (HPF 00489) containing also: Confetti's (3 tracks), Plastic Bertrand, Dow Jones, Kate B, B. Art, Tragic Error, Liaisons D., Hithouse and the video outtro Generique. Video title: This is the new style of music. House, Techno and New Beat.

Kenneth T. Wow I would love to see a full rip

yes, ye he was.

😂🤣😂🤣

Hell yeah he was . . . 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely the dancer with the most finesse out of all of 'em. Just look at him at 1:09 and compare him to the other two

What do you call that? The Scissor? 🤣

It was a great scene. To walk into a club back then and hear stuff like this and other classics was something to behold. So happy you got to get ahold of it.

Made in a time that rock was easy

​@@TRIX-wn2slbut now, it's clean and heavy!

Because of this comment I learned the genre “Belgian New Beat” so thank you

gay is pretty much the safest thing for electronic music

@@laminebaazi4376 Indeed. It has to be gay, ............. as in happy & merry.

No Sir. Definitely Gay.

A Yank Abroad. Maybe you are into what Carlos Chaves calls. The fancy lads.

Because you are constantly awesome.

I was at a club in the late 80s. In San Antonio Texas and I recall seeing the people dancing to this song, people standing around. I was 17. It was kinda cool I must admit. These people were dancing like there was no tomorrow. I observe this 2024 and see and cannot help but feel disturbed by how those on socials think their dancing and so called creativity is unique and special? WTF? I cannot recall witnessing such uncreative, mediocre, people in my entire life. I'm not being mean just logical and realistic. I'm not hating I'm just pointing out the fact that we all reduce ourselves to rats and mice when we have the ability to be something so much more. It's a choice. Too many choose dumbass sht.

Belgium nu beat

it's by the awesome Frank de Wulf also author of COMPRESSION, belgian classic

Belgian New Beat buddy!

And suspenders. 😁

@@pattynjan1 hahahha! yes! Thank you for bringing this amazing video back to me for another great laugh! Wow tons more views and thumbs up! LOL I still am not sure if they are serious or ironic. lol!

gay

gayyyyy

Surely. Still hot.

The homophobes are just jealous.

Yes! Exactly made me want to do a Hoo-Hee-Hee with Skate.

Exactly.

I agree!

streets of rage music was more house oriented this was more techno style and this is actually called New beat while "instrumental Hiphouse" would perfectly describe the streets of rage music genre which was the kind of music that became more prevalent in the early 90's after hiphop became famous in the 80's

Fellow snydercut fam 😭

Dizzy Ed Ahh The Quad, mad nights, great tunes, friendly people....and sweat dripping from the ceiling onto your head haha

Don't tell lies. We all know that we all danced just like the hunky boys in the video.

YES 👍

maaaaan i thought the same thing!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if didn’t understand the humor, and you were only copying the surface elements...

I was going to say it reminded me of something off Tim and Eric.

So true 👍🏼

I keep thinking the guy in the middle is gonna break out the Nunchucks, lol

ain't that the truth.... :-/
