The B52's Reaction - ROCK LOBSTER | NU METAL FAN REACTS | FIRST TIME REACTION 

Not as he counts his money!

Just what I came here to say. 👍

Amen to that

Of course he doesn't regret this! And nearly do I, when I think back to what I looked like and what I did in 1979, while dancing to the B-52s.

Nope. This is classic Fred in a nutshell. Why regret that?!?

I was going to reply exactly. Fred always fully committed. He had no shame, in the best way. Amazing front man for a truly unique band.

Hes not British so isn't paralyzed by shame.

Haha sounds like a great place to be!!

Canada sucks.

I'm one of these Canadians that bought the 45 rpm in 1978. :)

I bought the LP in Canada in 1980.

You got your good points but you lost your freedom.

You left out the most important thing that he said in that interview QUOTE: "I was at a dance club one night in Bermuda. Upstairs, there were playing disco, and downstairs I suddenly heard ROCK LOBSTER by the B-52s for the first time. It SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOKO'S MUSIC, so I said to meself, 'It's time to get out the old ax and wake up the wife'" Meaning that maybe NOW people would accept YOKO's music as her vocalizations were actually being copied (probably unconsciously) by the girls in the B-52s. In another interview he felt that after hearing Rock Lobster that the world finally caught up with Yoko as she had been doing this type of music years before the B-52s.

Oh wow I never knew that

@@patticrichton1135 oh for gods sake you cannot seriously actually think the girls from B52s took ANYTHING from yoko vocally or otherwise. She sucked dude experimental music has progressed, there will never come a time where her talentless wailing is accepting as genius, at least widely. I mean if we’re gonna talk about “stealing” CONSCIOUSLY let’s talk about Lennon and yoko doing a show with Zappa, then later releasing one of the songs he wrote as their own on the live in New York album or whatever it was called. They credited themselves as the only writers, and regardless of her solo music she will never not be hated for what happened with the Beatles. I’m sure lots of people don’t think she’s the main reason but I think she was, you have to have a real narcissist of a girlfriend for her to basically insert herself in the band, not caring what anyone thinks about it I mean look at what happened when John played with Chuck berry and she literally ruined it and made Chuck noticeably uncomfortable. The writing in Rock Lobster alone is literally more compelling and well written then anything yoko ever wrote herself

@@patticrichton1135 by the way you realize there’s artists who did what yoko was trying to do before her and well? You can’t throw a bucket of random paints at the wall, and then look at some newer painting that used the same color and say it had to be influenced by that. I mean there’s some similarities in certain select songs that I can hear but to say she’s been making this kind of music forever and now it’s acceptable Is insulting to the B52s who actually had like lots of really dope classic albums.

@@byHexted Whether you agree with Fred Schneider or not, he has said the "animal sound" vocals on Rock Lobster were "definitely inspired by Yoko." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TADWl5_1GGU.html And whether you think the B-52's were directly inspired by Yoko and John Lennon's music or not, the fact is that John Lennon heard them and he thought modern music had "caught up" to what they were doing years earlier. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dym-gW52TRo.html

Cool thanks steve

Hahah I didn't know it was an actual song when I saw it on family guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bikini whales...is that what they're calling Karens at the beach now?

Haha these guys are pure entertainment 🤣😂🤣🤣

Cheers Gary 😁

@@infin8reactions Check out the Foo Fighters covering it Live in New York with the B 52's vocalist Fred Schneider as guest vocalist.

More like alternative head space - but yeah they were brilliant.

Awesome!!!

So right!

Wow, I would enjoy this on wedding parties...

A bit like the Timewarp at UK weddings

The drummer Took over on guitar.

I was 2 years old when this was recorded 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@infin8reactions I think I was about 22! Yikes!

Haha glad you're enjoying it, it's crazy 😂😂😂😂

Love me some Primus! Some of the best bass lines ever made, come out of that band.

@@gman125 Yes indeed !!

Haha glad I could brighten up your day ☺️

I loved dancing to it too.

You're welcome and thanks for watching Dave 😊

@@infin8reactions Seriously,Being in southern California it's great to see somebody across the pond acknowledging how bonkers music can be in the US. Seeing you "wtf" is akin to my initial reaction decades ago. Check out Summertime Blues by the Flying Lizards, or Kiss Off by Violent Femmes, or the worst/best band ever The Shaggs. I'll be on the lookout for more bizarreties !

Haha no worries, it's the first thing that popped into my head 😂😂 glad you enjoyed the video 😁

@@infin8reactions definitely brotha I ain't gonna lie this might be my theme song if I had a sitcom show love the song 💯

I graduated from high school in 1983. The summer night pool parties with the B-52's blaring in the background were legendary! So many great memories!

😂😂😂 I was so confused 😂😂😂😂

@@infin8reactions I'm still laughing 😁😁😂😂You know what? I had the album, I was around 25 y/o back then
