This album got me thru my 8 year prison term. I would play it every day followed by tsol dance with me and suicidal tendencies first album. It just lifted my mood and had me doing push ups like a maniac! Such an underrated band
I remember when i seen these guys when i was a teenager got to drink wit em and i was a poor gutter punk asked the singer for a cd he gave me this album with more dead cops and a shirt i became an instant fan cool ass dudes
It definitely is one of those masterpieces of work like Slayer’s Reign In Blood, that first Minor Threat ep etc. where the music and words all stick. They could tour off this one album for the entirety of their career and I’d pay to see it everytime.
Mind you this was back in the early eighties, when if you had dyed hair and a leather jacket you were a target for beer bottles thrown from cars while you were walking down the sidewalk.You had to learn to dodge quickly.
chasmanian remakas exactly, my generation of punk kids think it's still the same way when it's not. Instead of conservative cops suppressing our free speech it's the fucking liberal intellectuals who want to think for the rest of us. Times change, same problem, different enemies.
"it's the fucking liberal intellectuals who want to think for the rest of us" Not really. Those so-called "liberal intellectuals" (probably Tumblr posters) are going to be pretty right wing in several years (remember that wannabe hippies of the 60s turned into conservative coke snorting corporate yuppies by the time the 80s happened). Real leftists don't give a fuck about what you think and will allow you to use your own words to humiliate yourself.
If you think that right-wing moralists are going to look out for your best interests you might be surprised. They prefer to tell everyone how to pray, love and live. Enemies of freedom are on both sides. You just have to judge for yourself.
Things randomly recalled: summer '83 saw MDC with a host of other punk bands @ the mall in DC with punks from high school. When MDC took the stage we were suddenly surrounded by mounted cops in riot gear. Of course a riot broke out. THEY started it. My friend Derek who sang for our band Suburban Disruptors got hit in the head with a beer bottle and bled all over the place, so we ended our participation to take him home. Safety first!
Saw MDC at community center south of Fresno Ca. Came out of the show bloody, bruised and never felt better. It was a great show. Dave and the guys were really cool.May Hardcore Never Die!
Unbelievable album! This should be required listening for anybody that has any inclination to question authority in any way. The recent turn of events in the US has really made this album seem prophetic in many ways. The Reagan Era produced this album and the Trump Era breathes life into it again.
rep757npay Trump's a capitalist in a society built to uphold the supremacy of the capitalists. Politicians that work within the capitalist state exist to serve people like him. He's not just the establishment, the establishment exists to protect him and those of his class.
Every since I found by chance this album during the hardcore rise to power, every day, I mean it every day I hear certain lines that repeat back to me all day. I swear if you locked me in a room for ten years hearing nothing but mdc's first lp I would come out totally ready to go at it all. I have played guitar all my life but that is nothing to do with how this first lp affects me. Just so fast and correct. It just hits a fuckin correct nerve in my gut and pumps up my heart and that's it. They are the best for me. Ever.
@@letitbeknown8126 This record! It really stood out as something special and i am pretty sure this was the most influential record on the whole continental European HC-punk scene!
@@Heatfarmer Believe me man, i agree, it's a very influential record, but no one in the USA mentions them. I had never even heard of them until around 1993 when i was reading a Nirvana biography and it said when Kurt Cobain was young he was arrested for vandalism and he had a cassette by Millions Of Dead Cops on him at the time. I seeked the album out and yes, i was blown away. I just wish they were better known nowadays.
Just looked up the prison population numbers since 1921. It's growing year after year, it's really strange. In 1921 there were 91,000 inmates. In 1981 there were 330,000 and now there is 2,200,000.
Took son to see MDC, DK's & Fang last fall in S.F. Great show! Finally had a chance to properly introduce him to Dave D (a really nice guy, btw) cuz last time we'd seen MDC play was 87/88 w/Dag Nasty at 924 Gilman & my boy had other things on his mind, still being pushed around in a stroller & all.
Saw them in concert in Clovis in 1981, one of the best punk groups. I met up with the group after the show and had a beer with them . Dave was so cool, offered they would play at my house for $50. I had to say no cuz my parents were gonna be home that weekend haha...
I haven't caught them yet this decade, but I've seen them in the previous 4. In May I'm taking my 16 year old to see them with GBH and Niis, to make it the 5th decade I'll be seening them perform joining Victims Family and Corrosion of Conformity.
@@flipperpete Awesome! Can you send me a link or info about their gig with Victims Family? I’d love to see that, VF is legendary here in the North Bay Area.
Just stumbled on this. Friggin awesome. I always sing *corporate deathburger* and *john wayne was a nazi*. Am i really 56 years old??? Still love this album.
I saw them in 1983 at a country bar in San Bernadino CA and I have to say they were twice as as fast as this album. That night the Guitar and Bass players had their instruments slung so low and their legs spread so wide to achieve that amount of speed while playing using their elbows and wrists you could barely see them on stage. The pit exsisted of about 7 punks beating the shit out each other and the place had about a hundred people in there and when other punks tried to get in the pit they bounced of like flies. It was the best high speed punk show I have ever seen.
The album that started it all! Now 55 yo and finally going to see these guys play live in 2024 in Santa Cruz, Ca. Feb. 9. Bucket list band. Gonna act like I'm 19 again.
What can i say 40 years ago i 1st listened to this m8 gave me atape with mdc and 7 seconds.and was like wow.still love them.but fukall changed.57 years old still young till i die.😎
@Travis Edwards This. I've met 1 good cop (I'm under 18 tho so I haven't had many run ins with police) but most of them seem to like making people scared and shit which has always confused me but yeah we gotta acknowledge the good cops and shame the bad ones
How the fuck are you defending cops here? All cops enforce the law. Many laws are manifestly unjust and even cruel. Logical conclusion: all cops are criminals. I do not give a single fuck if a cop is friendly or not when he's fucking molesting me.
I bought it when it came out and saw MDC on the european leg of 1984 tour.. amazing. Then i went to SF IN 1989 and used to see dave in the same taco place quite a few times
Second half of the 90's used to skate around Alameda and take the bus to Telegraph, we told all our parents someones big brother was going with us and we'd go to Amoeba and Rasputin and smoke cigarettes and looks at records. Good times.
Tnutz Miller yea because not all cops are racist fucks. I'd say 90% of them are just trying to do there jobs and the sooner we realize this the sooner we can fix real problems.

Hi don't know where you are but you sure you weren't a English Newage travlers we are still plodding down the road thanks for widing my lisnig wouldn't have found most of the bands One love Blessed Be
MDC Prolly salty after th whole DEFUNDING THE POLICE. FUCKING LIBERAL DETARDS. BIDEN. KAMALA. BLM. ANTIFA. MILLIONS OF US SCREWED OVER NY THESE IDIOTS. GOD PROTECT US.
This band was completely unknown to me until I heard NOFX's '13 Stitches' which mentions both DOA (also previously unknown to me) and Millions of Dead Cops by name in the lyrics. MDC stood for Millions of Dead Cops, by the way, until the mid '80s when the band met with Crass in England who told them they were uncomfortable with the 'Dead Cops' part. The name became Mega Death Corporation, but we all know what that MDC really stands for. ;)
Thats how I first heard of them too. Then I saw them at a local venue and mike wasn't lying. Especially live, they're songs do sound kind of the same. Still a pretty good band and the lead singer is a cool dude.
This is a classic man, along with Suicidal Tendencies self titled, D.R.I - Dealing With It, Cryptic Slaughter - Convicted, Septic Death - Now That I Have Your Attention What Do I Do With It? Wehrmacht - Biermacht. All albums I grew up with, and brilliant even today.
This was back when Boomers were saying that then-modern music had nothing to say. They thought saying “give peace a chance” was so revolutionary and longed for a world where they didn’t have to do anything but turn on tune in and drop out. Their punk rock/Reagan era children were rightly disgusted with the lack of initiative and sense of urgency.
"Dave MDC" asked me, "So what do you do for a living, man?" I said, "I'm a chef." "Oh what kinds of stuff do you make...?" Thinking nothing of it, I replied, "Mostly French cooking. Italian. People seem to like Italian food..." Well, that LIT THE FUSE! Dave came down on me like a ton of bricks!! "I can't believe you call yourself a fan of this band!" He had like- a vein popping out of his forehead. "I can't believe you make a living from cooking dead animals and come to see this band!!" He walked away in disgust. I thought he'd take a swing at me! I walked home despondent. This was a band I had loved as a young teenager. I actually got suspended from school for 3 days for wearing a handmade facsimile of the back of this album cover on a T-shirt! This was 25 years later. There was like- 40 people at that gig. The more I thought about it- the more I had to appreciate and respect Dave for going off on me like that. An artist/ activist who has held so strongly to his ideology that he was willing to spit in the face of a paying customer- a fan. I think my respect has only grown over the years since then.
Hey Swilko, you have your life and he has his. Live your life!!! Never be apologetic for something that you love... after all, he's doing something he loves. 🤟🤟🤟....
Why is there no comment on the guy who posted this finding the original first press copy in Rasputin’s in the basement for $10?! Hell that itself is an awesome story alone. Good luck with that at Amoeba (no basement I know)
Silver Star Winner 🏆 #103 I'm gonna have to make this one fast. Another awesome Punk Classic since youth.I love the Hits "Businesses on Parade", I Remember", and" John Wayne". People should have the right 👍 to enjoy this 💎 gem of good punk music without any lame bullshit getting in the way.
it's everywhere haven't you seen, isn't the SJW mindset enough for you? This outrage now defines the american culture, the culture you're fighting against is long dead.
I remember I went and saw MDC and Subhumans in Charleston SC back in the early 2000's. It was an amazing show! The bass player on his strumming hand had all broken fingers tapped up to be able to play. After the show, when they were all drinking at the bar, he gave me his after a few sips

This band was completely unknown to me until I heard NOFX's '13 Stitches' which mentions both DOA (also previously unknown to me) and Millions of Dead Cops by name in the lyrics. MDC stood for Millions of Dead Cops, by the way, until the mid '80s when the band met with Crass in England who told them they were uncomfortable with the 'Dead Cops' part. The name became Mega Death Corporation, but we all know what that MDC really stands for. ;)
Thats how I first heard of them too. Then I saw them at a local venue and mike wasn't lying. Especially live, they're songs do sound kind of the same. Still a pretty good band and the lead singer is a cool dude.
multi death Corporation more Dead Cops Marlena Dietrich children
He said the songs all sounded the same ... and kind of sucked. I guess Fat Mike was a bit harsher on them.
@@joshofdeath07 this is way better than nofx. Tell fat mike to shut up haha
And then MDC went to the bathroom and smoked a joint and thought " Crass are dicks?! fuck them assholes"
best hardcore album
This is a classic man, along with Suicidal Tendencies self titled, D.R.I - Dealing With It, Cryptic Slaughter - Convicted, Septic Death - Now That I Have Your Attention What Do I Do With It? Wehrmacht - Biermacht. All albums I grew up with, and brilliant even today.
Enjoying this beauty of an album early in the morning waking up my woman who isn't a punk fan at all. Life is good.
Do your neighbour like MDC too?
saw them in a unitarian church. singer was behind the pulpit most of the show. i paid $2 to get in
This is the album that got me in 2 PUNK back in the day,still rules!!!!!!
This was back when Boomers were saying that then-modern music had nothing to say. They thought saying “give peace a chance” was so revolutionary and longed for a world where they didn’t have to do anything but turn on tune in and drop out. Their punk rock/Reagan era children were rightly disgusted with the lack of initiative and sense of urgency.
"Dave MDC" asked me, "So what do you do for a living, man?"
I said, "I'm a chef."
"Oh what kinds of stuff do you make...?"
Thinking nothing of it, I replied, "Mostly French cooking. Italian. People seem to like Italian food..."
Well, that LIT THE FUSE! Dave came down on me like a ton of bricks!!
"I can't believe you call yourself a fan of this band!" He had like- a vein popping out of his forehead. "I can't believe you make a living from cooking dead animals and come to see this band!!"
He walked away in disgust. I thought he'd take a swing at me!
I walked home despondent. This was a band I had loved as a young teenager. I actually got suspended from school for 3 days for wearing a handmade facsimile of the back of this album cover on a T-shirt! This was 25 years later. There was like- 40 people at that gig.
The more I thought about it- the more I had to appreciate and respect Dave for going off on me like that. An artist/ activist who has held so strongly to his ideology that he was willing to spit in the face of a paying customer- a fan. I think my respect has only grown over the years since then.
Hey Swilko, you have your life and he has his. Live your life!!! Never be apologetic for something that you love... after all, he's doing something he loves. 🤟🤟🤟....
kinda sounds like a lil bitch to me lmao
40 years later and this album is still off tap
Looking forward to the concert in Nuremberg. Great stuff.
This wax changed the course of my life ! ..
jan svejstrup so wax change your life
Darby Crash really huh I didn't know that I also own it on vinyl
Punk bands like this sure don't exist anymore.
yeah they do, just gotta dig
Seeing these guys TONIGHT!!!
A big middle finger to who ever gave this album a thumbs down.
Probably some doughnut munching pig
Why is there no comment on the guy who posted this finding the original first press copy in Rasputin’s in the basement for $10?! Hell that itself is an awesome story alone. Good luck with that at Amoeba (no basement I know)
one of the most important albums of all time
Silver Star Winner 🏆 #103 I'm gonna have to make this one fast. Another awesome Punk Classic since youth.I love the Hits "Businesses on Parade", I Remember", and" John Wayne". People should have the right 👍 to enjoy this 💎 gem of good punk music without any lame bullshit getting in the way.
where is this outrage today!!!
it's everywhere haven't you seen, isn't the SJW mindset enough for you? This outrage now defines the american culture, the culture you're fighting against is long dead.
@@Soundeagle3456 Go listen to Katy Perry or some other corporate crap if this offends you
on the streets 1312
#10 Kill the Light is in a different location on album than you indicate; it's right before #14. American Achievements.

I remember I went and saw MDC and Subhumans in Charleston SC back in the early 2000's. It was an amazing show! The bass player on his strumming hand had all broken fingers tapped up to be able to play. After the show, when they were all drinking at the bar, he gave me his after a few sips
Does anybody remember the Dead boys?
