Wendy O Williams was ahead of her time. The Plasmatics a great band. Searing guitar work and dead solid rhythm. Ms. Williams also one of the brightest, nicest, least arrogant, Rock stars I ever met. R.I.P. Wendy. You had an impact far beyond your lifetime.
I have heard from people who met her that she was really very sweet and kind, and in fact a bit of a girly-girl. Would you say that was a fair assessment?
@@MaskedMan66 Sweet and kind for sure. Girly girl.......would not go that far. She was not a pink dress wearing "Barbie" type. But I only met her twice, for maybe an hour so. I did not know her well by any means, so maybe.....
@@ursafan40 Still, you were blessed to have met her. I remember reading that she had been on a talk show where one of the other guests was Rex Humbard the evangelist, and during a break, she surprised him by telling him how much she loved his show, "Cathedral of Tomorrow."
@@ursafan40 In fact, that show is here on TH-cam (though obviously not the exchange between Wendy and Rex)! And watching her, I would say there was a girlyness there, not so much as regards appearance, but in that she's being rather cute and giggly. th-cam.com/video/cBRAFpfnM9k/w-d-xo.html
@@MaskedMan66 I can believe it. She was a complex woman. Had a LOT of bad, violent, experiences in her life. Amazes me that she wasn't bitter and angry, but instead chose to not let all those terrible things change her. Yeah, she was an interesting woman.
When I read or hear people say that Madonna and Lady GaGa are the real glass ceiling breakers in music I just laugh. Wendy was the real trail blazer and she didn't just break the ceiling, she blew up the whole damn block. Peerless performer and serious talent. The Plasmatics were the perfect vehicle for her in addition to being an awesome band in their own right.
I laughed in the 90s when "I Touch Myself" came out by this "new band" and have I heard it? Meanwhile, I'm like, you seriously missed this? th-cam.com/video/WnOXYcO4zjg/w-d-xo.html
Wendy O was the real deal... As hard rock off the stage as she was on it. There was nothing fake about her and she gave no shits about acceptance or pretentiousness. Few people in history ever have such courage. A TRUE badass
They evolved into metal. Their first couple albums were pure punk. Their 3rd album and her solo albums were definitely metal. All are amazing, especially the Metal Priestess E.P. :D
I remember being a little girl and seeing b this for the first time. I will never forget the feeling I got from seeing a woman like this. Strong, crazy, hot and unapologetic. Goosebumps then and now when I see her, hear her voice. My daughter just " borrowed" lol my plasmatics tee shirt. Seeing her in it gave me the same feeling. Power on Wendy
My neighbor in Tribeca. She shopped at the local health food store off Chambers St. and at Balducci's in the West Village, where I once heard the old Italian monger standing by the fish tank reply to her with some exasperation, "Lady, I don't know which one swims the fastest!"
I still remember watching this on a black and white TV in my room; Denver had a second PBS station start in the early 1980s and they produced a video show initially called 'FM TV' as they would simucast the audio on a local FM station. So, I first saw this video on a 12" black and white TV, with stereo audio nearly as clear as this video. They played videos MTV wouldn't touch. MTV also sent KBDI a cease and desist letter for the name FM TV; KBDI held a contest for a new name, and Teletunes was born. Anyhow, that was the only place that would play Plasmatics, Ramones, Skinny Puppy, X, and other stuff alien to the Top 40.
I am so grateful that Wendy's words remain in this world, "Be true to yourself". Best advice ever, what sense is there working for what you don't believe in. If you don't have goals and work towards obtaining them, you're just being used to obtain the goals of another. Wendy represents to me what it is to be fearless and free. I wish she could have stayed around because she could've taught us so much, but I'm also relieved that she never had to see how much colder and more cruel this world has become. I love you Wendy!!!!!
Thanks to you also for your good/nice and respectful words & honour to Ms Williams. Good for me to read your comment, so again; Thanks for your heartwarm words&reflections (I thought for some time that I was the only one that had heard of Plasmatics in the whole word. Good to see that I’m in no way alone; Lot’s of people HAVE heard of them! Niiiice. ;-)
@@klausravnblystad8416 people who haven't heard of the Plasmatics or had a chance to know what they were about are so unfortunate. I feel so blessed to be in a small crowd and realize how beautiful Wendy was. She was born a few days off of my mother's birthday and died a few days of mine. Sometimes I wonder if I could have been her daughter if the universe hiccuped or something. She would have been a great Mom.
I had the privilege of seeing them just after the “maggots” concept album came out. They did the whole thing like a multi-media performance. Just awesome. Not just ahead of their time, they were eons ahead of everyone else. Godspeed WoW, you were (And are) incredible...
Wendy O Williams is forever the true Punk Queen, forget those aging pop stars and flash-in-the-pan chicks with one hit song, she and her unruly band rocked!
I m here 'cause I m old, I m growing with this fantastic sound, listening to Plasmatics and 'cause I m in love with Wendy... Rip, Princess of Punk and Metal.
I have watched 40 seconds of this. But I have watched many minutes of Wendy O Williams life. The 80's was life. And so much more than that. Be who you want to be, before the 2000's
Another year later.... On a night thinking about memories, I'm drawn once again to this video and discover my comment below. Still the same thoughts. She did her own fucking stunts, without question. Without thought of more pay. Because someone had to do it. And who better to complete the task that Wendy O fucking Williams.
BW. Before Wendy the entire music world had a significant hole in it. She then filled it. She is the most underappreciated woman in rocknroll history. She not only opened the door, but in typical Wendy style, drove a fucking bus through it! Thank you for giving the world your true self, with no fear, no limits and amazing spirit. There is only one Wendy Orlean Williams. Your greatness will never be duplicated....
I remember seeing her in creem magazine I believe back in the 80's wishing there was some way I could hear their music and wondering what it sounded like . Now all these years later I can just listen on my phone 😃
@@timothylangston3560 Oddly enough, so did I! It was the original pink cover. In 1989 I bought it for $5 from a coworker who bought it at Skoolkids Records in Ann Arbor, MI in the cut-out bin! How strange that you and I both had discount versions of one of the greatest records in the world, "Walk Among Us!"
I wasn't at that show but I did see them open for Motorhead at the Hammersmith Odeon back in the eighties and I'm pretty sure they duetted 'No Class'. Maybe the same tour? Either way it was an amazing gig.
Hammersmith is great. I saw "guitar gods" or some such thing in 1989. Leslie West (Mississippi Queen) played. Steve Howe, and several others, don't recall now. But Motorhead was much better
I knew a guy in school who was heavily into the Plasmatics. When I looked him up on FB it didn't look like him until I looked under the "about" section and he mentions the Plasmatics. I said yep that's him...lol
Plasmatics has become a hot topic only for Wendy's radical fashion and performances using machine guns and chainsaws, but they are a band that has not released a single bad album. Especially "COUP d'ETAT" was a hard rock masterpiece.
I first became aware of Wendy because of her acting, and then I heard her singing. Her end came too soon, but she looks like she is having fun in this video. You are not forgotten, Wendy O. Williams.
brotha! i saw Plasmatics with KISS in 1983 as well! crazy! I had never seen anything like that before or since. at the time i didnt even know what i was witnessing.
This is one beautiful human who was true to herself and didn’t give a F-K what anyone thought. Rest In Peace Lady O. You are very much missed and loved.❣️❣️❣️
I was 16yrs. Old when the plasmatics came out in 1978. Nobody did this before her, she was the original and best, terrifying and off the chain, no doubt.

RIO, Wendy O. WILLIAMS. You were a groundbreaker.groundbreaking. I had read an account of working with her by famed executive bodyguard Leroy Thompson when he was hired to find and "dissuade" a stalker from bothering her. It was funny and revealing so see her humanity.
How the hell does Madonna get into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame and WendyO Williams and the Plasmatics are not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. I just don’t get it. I guess it’s all about politics.
To me she's a nasty sociopath who belittles her fans but we as males might forget that Madonna had an enormous impact on women over 40. Cultural relevance undeniable, and La Isla Bonita , Justify My love and the whole album Ray of Light are pop gems . I am definitely not a fan , I can't stand the woman but credit is due
Glad there was that warning at the beginning. I was just about to crash a bus through a wall of televisions but I now see that's best left to the professionals. Thanks.
Awesome song.. Awesome musicians.. Awesome video! Wendy is amazing on the vocals & this is my favorite look of all the different ones She sported over the years.I miss her! Pioneers!
God gave the Queen!!! I listen to The Plasmatics & Wendy O. every day & night, I love you guys and greet Wendy on the other side! She's the Godess of Punk & Rock and we miss & thank Her a lot!
i was late discovering The Plasmatics and they and Wendy were gone by the time I knew they existed but they had almost as much attitude as the Ramones.
She really was way ahead of her time. I can see so many things that became cliches in modern action movies. For example, the cheesy walking away from an explosion unaffected - 04:10; however, this is totally original, as were many other thigs I saw during this video. Pretty cool.
I like the over the top part of the music even when its metal but my favs r their punk tunes & performances. Glad they always stuck to their guns & followed their own vision, I respect their commitment as artists, but for my own selfish desire as a fan, I wish they had taken the Ramones path & never changed.
I think they were a small part of a large divergence in metal in the early 80s- subgenres popping up like crazy - Eddie left Motörhead by in large because what he thought was her Yoko-ing the band. I wish they could’ve made just a couple more of records like coup de etat I think she wanted to change the way women were viewed in the scene but they were sharpening their beaks to the breaking point and just chucking the whole candle in the fire rather than burning ends- twice as bright and half as long. I was crushed when I found out she was dead. I have her tattooed on my right shoulder. I wear a Mohawk today @ 37 because of her. I think even if they changed styles a third time it might’ve been awesome because of her. She was incredible. c'est la vie.
I first saw this video when I was 10. It scared me to death and scarred me for life...and I wear those scars proudly as a hard rock/punk/whatever you call it supporter for life.
I see a cute woman with a mohawk, I click. Did not disappoint! No idea how this band went under my radar. Tonight I'm checking out the discography on spotify. Greetings from Norway!
i don't listen to rock, but dang, this is just a good song!! i usally don't watch videos, but wendy doing he own stunts, wow. and the bus explosion made me laugh with joy.

How the hell does Madonna get into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame and WendyO Williams and the Plasmatics are not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. I just don’t get it. I guess it’s all about politics.
F*ck the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame !!!
Exactly. Like the old saying goes: It's not who you know, it's who you blow.
Sales, of Albums. Profits, from Tours.
Yeah, bluntly idk if they should be there but madonna definitely shouldn't
To me she's a nasty sociopath who belittles her fans but we as males might forget that Madonna had an enormous impact on women over 40. Cultural relevance undeniable, and La Isla Bonita , Justify My love and the whole album Ray of Light are pop gems . I am definitely not a fan , I can't stand the woman but credit is due
Glad there was that warning at the beginning. I was just about to crash a bus through a wall of televisions but I now see that's best left to the professionals. Thanks.
блин,я просто в восторге! я не видел это раньше!
My favorite!!! Wendy's voice rasps my ear canals in the most pleasent way! R.I.P.
Wendy O = Pioneer, badass, and coolest looking rockstar lady I can think of
Wendy, at the time of her splendor !!! on the coup d état album !!! the most successful. Excellent, thanks for that !!
Recently came across this and can't stop watching it, love it 😎❤️
I actually remember seeing this on MTV in the early days of the channel
I always loved the Mad Max and Rock "n" Roll connection in that era. Matching perfectly
This is fucking awesome! Music, girl, desert, speed, fire... You are my new favorite group!
Awesome song.. Awesome musicians.. Awesome video! Wendy is amazing on the vocals & this is my favorite look of all the different ones She sported over the years.I miss her! Pioneers!
Never heard of this. Didn't know what to expect but it's awesome
Awesome. Did the philosophers Beavis and Butthead ever discuss this video? 🏆🇬🇧
Of course.. Beavis got it banned for yelling "Fire, Fire" too much..
God gave the Queen!!!
I listen to The Plasmatics & Wendy O. every day & night, I love you guys and greet Wendy on the other side! She's the Godess of Punk & Rock and we miss & thank Her a lot!
In 1985, Wendy was even nominated for a Grammy.
I think it was ' its my life' song whos written by Paul the gayest man Stanley an Jean Beauvoir... The hole album was awesome. I was 13 back then 🤘🇫🇮
@@rockrane1 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻✌🏻
I thank God that I got to see The Plasmatics and W.O.W. live.
Thanks Mad butcher EP by Destruction...My introduction to The Plasmatics and WoW
i was late discovering The Plasmatics and they and Wendy were gone by the time I knew they existed but they had almost as much attitude as the Ramones.
Wrecking TV sets never gets old.
She really was way ahead of her time. I can see so many things that became cliches in modern action movies. For example, the cheesy walking away from an explosion unaffected - 04:10; however, this is totally original, as were many other thigs I saw during this video. Pretty cool.
I like the over the top part of the music even when its metal but my favs r their punk tunes & performances. Glad they always stuck to their guns & followed their own vision, I respect their commitment as artists, but for my own selfish desire as a fan, I wish they had taken the Ramones path & never changed.
I think they were a small part of a large divergence in metal in the early 80s- subgenres popping up like crazy - Eddie left Motörhead by in large because what he thought was her Yoko-ing the band. I wish they could’ve made just a couple more of records like coup de etat I think she wanted to change the way women were viewed in the scene but they were sharpening their beaks to the breaking point and just chucking the whole candle in the fire rather than burning ends- twice as bright and half as long. I was crushed when I found out she was dead. I have her tattooed on my right shoulder. I wear a Mohawk today @ 37 because of her. I think even if they changed styles a third time it might’ve been awesome because of her. She was incredible. c'est la vie.
This is easily one of the most kickass songs ever recorded.
One of the most beautiful hard alternative rock music video I had seen in my life.
You had to meet her to really appreciate her . Nothing like her stage persona ! True, down to earth , pleasant as anyone !
Image how remarkable a GWAR/Plasmatics double bill could have been back in the 80's!
There would be no survivors🥵🥰
I first saw this video when I was 10. It scared me to death and scarred me for life...and I wear those scars proudly as a hard rock/punk/whatever you call it supporter for life.
Damn that was good
Nite Flight on USA network played this video.....i was a kid.....52 now....glad i am the way i am.
In a relation ship, i probably would just accept that i am a housewife now. So cookie baking and knitting it is. Just to be save.
We miss ya', Wendy.
I'm willing to bet she just straight up stole the bus from whatever stunt person was supposed to do it. Maximum respect for Wendy!
потрясающий Hard'n'Heavy нашего времени (динозавров)!!!!!!
\m/
You just got a new hardcore fan. This song... this video... It's just too much. I didn't knew this existed and am so sad I just discovered it.
There will never be another Wendy. Killer song, epic video.
I see a cute woman with a mohawk, I click. Did not disappoint!
No idea how this band went under my radar.
Tonight I'm checking out the discography on spotify.
Greetings from Norway!
I LOVE THIS SONG..REST IN PEACE DEAR SISTER..
One day in the near future hopefully they remaster all her CDs or vinyl
i don't listen to rock, but dang, this is just a good song!! i usally don't watch videos, but wendy doing he own stunts, wow. and the bus explosion made me laugh with joy.
I remember her! I don't know why it tool so long for Wendy O Williams to hit my algorithm but this is awesome!
