Queens of the Stone Age 🙏

The fact that you're giving the Bad Brains the credit that others deserve(Middle Class beat them by a year with "Out of Vogue" in 78) right at the beginning means there's no point watching/listening to the rest of this.

They still are the coolest band in the world ❤❤❤

First punk band 'Death', Death is an American musical group formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1971 .

RIP TV❤

I really like Embrace! That Album is FKN DOPE!

There’s three bands I’d love to see you make a video on TSOL Adolescents And Suicidal Tendencies

💀..Pretty comprehensive.(.surprisingly..)

PUNK ROCK!!! 🤘

But before bad brains was death, check out let world spin by death,fricken rips

Early Blue Oyster Cult and early Journey.

How 'bout the Beat Farmers?

Great video, however using an image of Rowland S Howard from Australia's The Birthday Party whilst describing the artsy New York No Wave scene at 6:20 is definitely... a choice.

Liked Minor Threat because of that amazing guitarist. Don't like Ian though, the most preachy self righteous guy ever.

They were cool when Richard was in the band.

FUGAZI stands for: FUCK UP GOT AMBUSHED ZIPPED IN.

Repeater will always be my favorite record, but IOTKT is by far their best! Public Witness, Smallpox Champion and Rend it are 3 of the best Hardcore/Punk/Whatever songs of alltime! I'm lucky I got to see them 3x on that tour!

Your facts are a bit off. David Bowie did approach DEVO, but it was for a deal that would have netted him a 10% cut of the band. That was a NO GO for DEVO, so no deal with Bowie. The band had read a music industry insider book written by Clive Davis. Where he recommended that a new band should always get a deal with two record companies. One for American distribution and another for World distribution. When Warner approached the band, they said NO for a dual label deal. So DEVO turned down Warner and went with Virgin Records who's owner Richard Branson agreed to handle world distribution. DEVO then agreed to use Brian Eno as the producer of their first commercial album release Are We Not Men. DEVO was not aware that Eno was actually on the Warner payroll. Warner knew they had made a mistake not signing the band and used an underhanded method to produce their first album. But DEVO turned the tables on Warner threatening a law suit. Warner then agreed to allow Virgin Records to distribute DEVO worldwide and they would distribute in America. Thus DEVO became the first U.S. music act to have dual legit record deals. Just as Clive Davis had advised. Bob's brother invented the Digital Drum Kit. It is featured in DEVO's music short cover of Secret Agent Man. He held the legal patent and made a deal with Roland for mass production. So he quit the band to complete his electrical engineering degree.

Nice vid. Great account of their history, and the ending gave a good "where they're at now" update. Didn't know Vish interviewed JL. Gonna have to go hear that. Turning down 10 million though. Doubt any band would do that now. I was actually trying to remember what job JL was working at that he walked away from. It was NASA. Remember reading an interview with them, and recall him saying his parents were pretty upset. Also, he mentioned the Cars, which I thought was pretty cool. Making my way though a book that tells the story of "Kind of Blue", and the jazz stuff was interesting to hear. Even mentioned the club you referenced. Had no idea that BC had roots in that.

Haha! Pretty sure Ian would be just fine with that beer break.

Enjoyed the vid. Bands I'd like to see in future: Helmet, Cro Mags & maybe Agnostic Front. Thx.

An excellent recounting of the Minutemen. The accident was covered tactfully and with grace, so I was pleased about that. I read Linda's full blog post many years ago and I believe her. No one should doubt her; she's been through enough. Double Nickels is definitely their best work. I'd put it in my top ten albums of all-time (maybe even top five). I have their entire output on SST CDs, and the sale prices on Discogs are crazy high. Doubt I'll ever sell them, though.

Dude... cool video. Relationship won't be repaired but that's life. Kim is the shit. I need Lee to come back to to binghamton and play, I'll set it up!

So I’m guessing the song “Stumped” is tongue in cheek? The lyrics always confused me, along with the way he sheepishly sings the stuff about partying 😂

It wasn’t about magazines they wouldn’t read themselves. It was about magazines selling drugs to children (i.e. Alcohol and Tobacco). You’re also downplaying Rites of Spring. Seeing them was like nothing before, at least as explosive as earlier shows when hardcore was still happening down here. They energized and inspired everyone. I have to believe that even though they were friends of Ian’s and on Dischord, their shows must have been a beacon for where he could also grow and go while Embrace was happening. I loved all of it, saw all of it, and feel so lucky to be from DC.

Clock DVA from the beginning ,also the BOX.

this story fills in some Tony Lombardo/Ray Cooper timeline. so in 1992ish i started playing drums with a singer/guitarist/songwriter named Aimee Lay who is still active and plays shows around la and is amazing. she knew Tony Lombardo somehow and got him to come out and in pretty short order he joined the band. i knew of the descendents but was not a huge fan myself so i didn't think all that much of it. We played our first show at Tony's house calling ourselves the Direction. Dos and Frida Rentes band played that night too to support Tony which was very cool. the direction fell apart but tony and i kept going. at some point Tony called Ray Cooper and asked him to come down and jam with us, which he did, surprisingly, because i don't think he had been in a band since descendents. Ray and i hit it off right away and whether it was because of that or some other reason he decided to join the band. we then found Joel Bratton who answered an ad in the recycler to be our lead singer. he had been in Thelonius Monster, Rhino 39 and was currently in a hardcore band called Long Beach Allday. We couldn't agree on a name, so we picked the one we all hated: Spiffy. We started playing some shows around town, and we were okay. Bill Stevenson was in town one day and came to one of our sessions. we were decent enough and he offered to record a demo for us at the blasting room for free. we just needed to get to Colorado and pay for the digital audio tape that he would use to record us (we even stayed at his place when we went up there). we were not nearly polished enough to record, but they had such a busy schedule that our only window in the next year was in about a month from that time. so we picked 6 songs and flew out there. we recorded all six tracks in one weekend. that was in early 96. they were intended to be demo tracks, but we knew some guys who had small record labels and they were champing at the bit to release the sessions as 45s so we released 5 songs on 2 singles. we didn't like the way the 6th song came out so we never released it. it was during this time also that Tony was "sneaking away" to work on Everything Sucks. which he just could have told us, but he thought we would be pissed or something. so on the strength of those singles and our record labels we started playing a lot more gigs. then one of our labels wanted us to do a West Coast tour all the way from San Diego to Seattle. Ray and I didn't want to do it. Shortly thereafter Ray moved to Chicago to pursue his other career: video game animation. So in 97 the band was pretty much done. you can find the singles on Spotify and Apple music if you are interested. hope this was vaguely interesting

Our band could be your life❤😊

Fugazi is one of the top of the top bands in history. Reinvented punk-HC as a whole, was a huge influence when I was a teenager. Fave album: Steady diet...

I thank the algorithm for chucking me your channel! Subscribed🤘🏻

Ive been listening to the bad brains since i was a kid in 1984

▂▃▅▇█▓🤘🏼▓█▇▅▃▂

Given what the current concert landscape is, I doubt Fugazi would want to be a part of that with Live Nation or AXS venues and all that BS. I could see them getting with one of the promotors that filled the void after Warped Tour and setting up their own festival type of thing. But at the same time, the amount of cash flow that is required for those, I could see Fugazi, again, not having interest in that.

1:27 to clarify, teen idles and minor threat are actually two separate bands, Ian played bass in teen idles and then was the vocalist for minor threat. The way he said it kind of made it seem like teen idles changed their name to minor threat. Not hating or anything, just had a nerd moment just then.

One of my favourite bands since I was like 17. I got in to them just as The argument album came out and I've been waiting for a new record ever since.

Steady Diet Of Nothing was a good album solely for weeding out the folks who just wanted to hear Repeater and Waiting Room over and over again. Some of their early fans definitely jumped ship when Fugazi got more experimental

I think In On The Kill Taker is better than Repeater 100%😊

Incredible, was hoping for a Fugazi entry from you. Wonderfully executed! :) May I request a vid on Girl/Gilla Band (again lol)?

Skipped a ton of facts tho

I definitely think In On the Kill Taker is better than Repeater lol. That said Fugazi doesn't have a bad record, they're all good, but for me Kill Taker and Red Medicine are peak.

WOW!! There should be a movie about Minor Threat , & a movie sequel about Fugazi. One of the very few bands that chose to do it their way , & not grab the $$$ way.

Just found your channel! I like how simple it is and direct and looking forward to hearing more. Thank you!

I was 1 when Steady Diet of Nothing was released.

You make incredible videos. I'm glad my sub box can be blessed

great topic!

You are rocking it and hitting good facts that could be obscure ... Loved the Minor Threat vid ... Do an Angry Samoans one next, please ... Keep up the good work!!!

Your channel is so good!

fun fact: Billy Joel married a woman I went to high school with.
