I remember seeing this on Beavis & Butt-Head. They made their own dance moves like "The Dillhole," "The Bunghole," and of course "The Fartknocker Double Inverted Nad Twist."
51 years old, grew up in the NYHC scene in the late 80s. I remember turning my Army buddies onto NYHC. They loved it so much we'd listen to it before doing an OP, or a jump. Even jamming to it in the back of a UH-60 once feom a big ass Sony ghetto blaster!
i was 20 when this came out...all i did was go to HC shows up here in boston and nyc the scenes will never be the same nor will the bands,just lost the feeling.sad
to think... this song used to be so true... now there's little integrity left, and it's become a fashion show. only few bands keep it pure. MadBall, SOIA, Terror, etc... keep it real, keep it alive, danny P.
i'm now busy raising the next gen of "bad seeds" but boy oh boy do i miss those times . whenever i am set loose i am still "pickin' up change" but i am sore thrice as long ;)
dude the dances are great! i don`t know about other places but in portugal people dance not just like, but a little like that at the shows and the last time they were here when they played this song i looked back and everyone was doing it. SOIA!!!!
Yes, the persistance tour will fucking rock this year! Dont forget Heaven shall burn will be there too. Born from pain, terror and Sick of it all are all awesome.
i was just a day ago hardcore dancing on this song that i know for ages he said to us dont lisen to anyone bud only yourself that was the best feeling ever hes old and hes hardcore punk he dont take shit of anyone
"Respect is where it should be". Memories from back in the day! Great to see live. Great thing about SOIA; they've never changed, adapted or backed down to record labels or anything.
SOIA is the real deal hard core band. One of my favorite songs from Scratch The Surface. And I do have all their albums and even have their alley way crew dragon as a tattoo.
Well I'm 14, and I really like Sick of it All and what they are. This is a very good hardcore punk song. Not all of us disrespect the music and not all of us judge without knowledge and understanding. Not 'all the kids' are like that, just most of them.
Remember ten years back, whenever you went to a show there was some old guy standing at the edge of the pit with crossed arms and some old NYCHC shirt on??? Am I the only one who has become that dude?
Yeah man! wtf! We had nuthin' but respect for all NY hardcore bands w/ dudes in my high school wearin' Cromags and Agnostic Front shirts. And these were all metal kids with long hair. I preferred DRI over those bands at the time though.
Reminds me of the best pit I ever been in, just a handful of hardcore youth in the middle of a Megadeth concert. Creepy Crawly'ed across the floor and my boys picked a brother up when he went down. Good times.
You are absolutely right. I forgot I read an article about him explaining why he didn't like the term emo. My bad. Thank you for correcting me. Hell If I am wrong I am wrong and do not want to go around spouting a lie. Thanks.
Hell yeah- you don't know s*&t about dancing unless you've been to an east coast show (NYC, Boston, Baltimore, Philly, Providence, D.C.) with someone like SOIA back in the day- But it is definitely a cultural "scene" thing from old school hardcore days, like str8 edge kids and Champion hoodies.
Not a hardcore punk guy, but all these different pit dances are fascinating to me. It's way more than just moshing. I wish people still did these dances.
