Its sad to think that this song is 20 years old and it still translates to the events of present day America. This is way Pro-Pain is the best band ever. The music is true, realistic and relates to the common man.
We played with these guys inSo.cal In 95. Gary was the nicest guy ever. I got invited into their tour bus and got to hang out with them for awhile. ( Only about 10 minutes) but it's a cool memory I will never forget.
35 people said "naw" to the single song that made me a metal head? takes all kinds I suppose. my favorite album of all time. and I'm a PanterA die-hard
Was listening to this in high school on dubbed memorex cassette tape.put scotch tape on store bought one of buddies and make my own to workout to and run to in yellow sony walkman wth the hand strap.lol.good ol days.auto reverse was a luxury 😆.headphones fallin out of ears.pro-pain..Pantera..Megadeth..Crypt-kicker..Metallica..Anthrax..Slayer....Wresting practice had to stop to change tape lol !!!
Why I love them is that most of their stuff sounds so original you know no other band could come up with something similar, they are just so unique. On the other hand, there are plenty of other solid bands I like, but their music is way more rooted in the specific genres and I similaries between them. PP just has its unique special style no one else could assume.
Californication, the thing is that none of the bands you mention had much of an impact on Gary Meskils songwriting. ;) But the main riff sounds like a mix of War Machine by Kiss and Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots... ha ha ha
@robtheslayer ... I had the distinct pleasure of seeing these guys open for Sepultura and Pantera in '94 in Cleveland... it forever changed me... Sepultura played an all drum/acoustic version of "Kiowas" and I think I died a little and experienced what heaven must feel like... then Pantera took the stage... pure bliss... goddamn I miss the 90's... R.I.P. Dimebag
I know what you mean. I saw Pantera opening for Souls at Zero (formerly Wrathchild America) and Dimebag gave Phil his guitar. They did a cover of Metallica's Whiplash with Dime singing and Phil playing guitar. I don't think I'll ever forget that moment.
You're so right ! Early Nineties: great music, many beloved people of my family still alive, nice girls (not the overstyled dumb chicks of our days), good drinks (we didn't need Red Bull or other crap in our alcohol), no fucking smartphones...shit, BETTER DAYS ! Getting sentimental over here...
you just became a bitter old fart thats it -90s was the time of techno ,so lots of cheap crappy music ,overstyled bitches and of course there was wodka red bull back then
Gary got attacked in Brussels or something this year on tour.. All of your support is probably greatly appreciated.. He's a bull and back on tour after almost dying.. Go Get It Gary!
@aceinco I absolutely remember this tour, best show ever to this date for me. The Kiowas part of Sepultura's set was undoubtedly one of those "moments" that changed me musically forever. The funny part was that the venue here in Detroit had the nerve to fill the main floor with chairs, zip-tied together, morons. During Biohazard - started seeing chairs fly, During Sepultura - mini pits with the chairs gone, and when Pantera came on there was just large piles of chairs on the floor...
I saw these guys at HammerJacks in Baltimore with Biohazard and Body Count ~20 years ago!!! To this day me and my friends say "did he just say "THE STENCH OF PISS"" Pro-Pain is badass to this day!!!

Going to see them for the third time live tomorrow. I always say to young metalheads:"Kids, if you survive Pro - Pain live, you are a man after that". \m/ \m/ \m/
Jesus this came out almost 12 years ago?! My night shift supervisor had this blasting in the kitchen the other night. I missed out! Glad he was blasting these guys. They have a bit of a Static-X sound to them, and I fuckin love it! \m/
june 1993, the palace in hollywood california. opening act for testament, green jello played 2nd act. best show at a club ive personally ever been to. this band was so fucking good. set the mood for a great show.
thanks for the upload, i appreciate it. i heard this song like 5 years ago on Chronix Radio Aggression on iTunes and i wrote the song down, just havent had a chance to look them up... very awesome!
I never really understood FSU straight edge. Friends Stand United. We were warned about the anti drug movement in NYC it's why a lot of music industry people quit working certain clubs and venues.
@TRex0086 ... you're right... it was Biohazard... too many wackey tobaccey cigs that night... I always get those two bands mixed up, don't know why, I'm just an idiot, I guess... thanks for straightening that out for me... rock on!!!
GREETZ FROM GERMANY PRO PAIN FUCKING GREAT...anywone knows the cover from the bad uncelz terpentin from pro pain on the lausitring? in germany? fucking great guys ^^
i used to walk the prison yard and listen to this shit on my walkman... now its 10 years later.. and it still makes me wanna jump in the car and head to a concert... wish they were still together
OMG i've seen these guys yesterday in switzerland on a fucking little pub ! i took photographs with Gary, i was one meter from them when playing i think its the best day of my life OMFG !!!!
This song is every American struggling to make it today!! This could be the theme song for the 99% if they could ever organize anything!!!
Trumps gonna win a 3rd time

More now than ever it seems.

Love this song almost 27 years.😁
Fucking amazing!
Almost 30 years now
hillary visited my neighborhood back in the day, and we got pulled over just for cruisin the neighborhood blastin this song
Seen these guys more times than I can remember in the Cleveland Ohio area in the mid to late 90's.
35 people said "naw" to the single song that made me a metal head? takes all kinds I suppose. my favorite album of all time. and I'm a PanterA die-hard
Honestly i have no clue why this fkin album is not on spotify....
It was before licensing and shit. For some stuff, TH-cam is our only hope.
It is now!
Got to see them open for Testament and DRI back in 92. Great stuff.

Amen brother.
These guys play nothing but killer songs ,rolling with my kitties and hard as f**k.
Bubbles be jammin
Лучший альбом того времени , да и сейчас ничего подобного нет
God! This sounds like it came right out of the 80's!
awesome band and they are really cool to hangout with.
Who cares for that few views..we listen to it, we love it.
That riff fucking kills... I should dig this cd out of my huge pile of cds and give it another listen.
The greatest metal anthem of our time! Make a comercial off this song.
Gary got attacked in Brussels or something this year on tour.. All of your support is probably greatly appreciated.. He's a bull and back on tour after almost dying.. Go Get It Gary!

Great Album!!! all songs super
I'm proud to have separated my shoulder in a mosh pit in ST PAUL, MN listening to these guys!
Great title track of a great album.
I was very proud when i figured the riff out :)
I saw these guys at HammerJacks in Baltimore with Biohazard and Body Count ~20 years ago!!! To this day me and my friends say "did he just say "THE STENCH OF PISS""
Pro-Pain is badass to this day!!!
Damn! That must have been an epic show! \m/
Lyrics:
Young, dumb and helpless - in the states
You say you ain't got no money - i can relate
I lost my job and my house and my - piece of mind
We're in the deepest depression of - modern time
A thousand points of light shinin' - in my face
Eyes are blinded by a can of replublican mace
Shinin' seas of starving people are the - unemployed
Stars and stripes are rubber checks - null and void
We are the red, white and blue that you bleed
We have the right to survive and succeed
Worthless and weak is "be all you can be"
Democracy leaves a foul taste of freedom in me
Budget cuts and tax hikes - crush the land
Of plenty, see the weak die by gods hand
If you're proud of your country then you're probably rich
Buf if you're fed up you better piss, moan and bitch
Yankee doodle dickweed went to town
Apple pie and chevrolet shot him down
A patriotic, fatheaded, sucker, freak
Is proud to serve the country that had served him weak...
Except now it’s the left that’s fucking everybody. Rather be a patriot, then a communist.
Uhhhh more relevant now than ever.
Going to see them for the third time live tomorrow. I always say to young metalheads:"Kids, if you survive Pro - Pain live, you are a man after that". \m/ \m/ \m/
Excellent, haven’t heard that in over 20 years… still kickass
Jesus this came out almost 12 years ago?!
My night shift supervisor had this blasting in the kitchen the other night. I missed out! Glad he was blasting these guys. They have a bit of a Static-X sound to them, and I fuckin love it! \m/
This came out in 1992
The theme from Disney's "Lab Rats" reminds me of this song. Loved this band
Great Fn album!
I LOVE PRO-PAIN! Hopefully I'll see you again someday, n u don't rush thru your set list!, like u did at the Palladium. ;-)
