can we get a show like this back on the air again? I love the enthusiasm of the audience and I love all of the arguing. god bless morton downey jr may he rest in peace.
I loved the Morton Downey Jr show. I really did I watched it on channel 9 as a kid religiously. But watching it now no point gets finalized or concluded, lol.

I was in the hospital when I watched the episode, 14. This episode was so raw....Loved this whole show. 14 year olds liking this kinda show... Scott Ian and his hair
@@paisleyprincess7996 You got that right. I ended up chatting with Queen Vixen from CSFH on MySpace back in the day and nowadays on FB. She used my clip in her blog. Just wild stuff. Also, I dig your profile pic. I miss that man dearly.
Man definitely paved the way for Donahue, Sally, Oprah, Geraldo, even Arsenio. I so wish shows like this would make a comeback.. as inflammatory as Morton seemed, he was definitely very liberal, and very open to social issues. We need open forums like this, instead of social media flame wars.
The musician with long black hair and leather jacket puts down the music business 30:09 and then he is hoping to ride Aces coattails to the top 32:05 which tells me the guy is out for himself.
There were some black members of harder bands like Suicidal Tendencies and others. Now there is body count and many other African Americans that enjoy heavy metal. Just because you don't see a black person in a band does not mean they don't enjoy the music.
I love how the clueless fuck gives Scott Ian shit about not helping the homeless. If the idiot had bothered to watch the video for "Who Cares Wins" back in the day, he would have seen that there was two addresses for organizations that directly helped the homeless at the end of the video.
Amazing that this type of stuff was on television. Now every show on tv is so overly produced and sqeaky clean and the hosts look so freaking fake... This world is devolving
Meanwhile Downey himself sang in the style of Bing Crosby and the Kingston trio is certainly more akin to Crosby’s music than the Ramones. Downey was a crooner.
Not the father of Iron Man. Where did you ever get that idea? How many people do you suppose are named Downey? Robert Downey Jr's father was, amazingly, Robert Downey Sr.
Dude insulting Joey Ramone’s way of speaking. The guy was nervous ok? That dude who was a ‘replacement for the Kingston trio’ was seriously out of touch for the times. He hasn’t even caught up to the 70’s. And he was a music critic?
@@tttarms1970 you must mean mainstream rock. Metal specially death metal from Florida was big in the underground. Pantera , Metallica danzig. We’re selling millions of records. The Seattle thing was from 1991 to like 1994.

The show was always entertaining, but at 37:14, do I see a young kid in the audience? What the hell are his parents thinking, bringing him to be in the audience of that show?
Ace made a racist joke 😂 yikes that didn’t age well but jokes are jokes. The critics are proof “woke” types have always lurked around getting on people’s nerves.
platform, rock n roll, satan, what is punk, feminism and music industry, who the hell is jesse nash, is music racist? lot of really important points but like nothing to follow through. but its like campfire convos I've had with my friends which is great, but there was booze , so i guess i get it. but uhhhhhhh

Couldn't air this stuff today. Love the Eighties!
When political correctness kicked in full swing in mid nineties, pretty soon school shootings started. Interesting coincidence.
The late 70s and all of the 80s those were great times!
Looks like Joey and Ace are getting along pretty good. Joey may have been too nervous to talk, he had OCD and social anxiety.
38:07 Jason Fortune is a racist pig!
Joey was a little weird
That's Scott Ian
Ace has a awesome laugh .
You can hear someone in the audience mimicking his laugh after Ace laughs

The original Jerry springer but with come class.
Neal Damiano 🤜🏾🤛🏻❤️
Its about sensationalism, fighting and the ratings, not about debating or making any real points. Ahead of its time!
'come class'..is that a NY thing?
RIP Johnny Z. You were really something man.

Ahhhh The Glory days of MORTON!😁
Time for another Morton in 2019 👍😎
Yeah, we really need a Morton Downey Jr. Especially someone cocky enough facing these SJW clowns in our current situation.
I'm glad you saved it too...classic show from the 80s.
I was in the hospital when I watched the episode, 14. This episode was so raw....Loved this whole show. 14 year olds liking this kinda show...
Scott Ian and his hair
I think I was 18 when this aired. To me, especially where I lived, it was just crazy to see these bands on TV. Loved it.
@@boomdetayjr.4134 It was crazy just seeing this on TV period. It was on after Nightline. Crazy show...

Who is "that ma!" Scott Ian, Mort Downey?....@@boomdetayjr.4134
Love this never got to see this in Canada but i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i appreciate the commercials to.
Thanks so much for sharing this, remember this well.
This made for good TV back in the day. Television today pretty much sucks.
Rest in peace Mort.
Pretty cool to see Scott way back when.
I forgot that Anthrax had Living Colour opening for them back then.
Man definitely paved the way for Donahue, Sally, Oprah, Geraldo, even Arsenio. I so wish shows like this would make a comeback.. as inflammatory as Morton seemed, he was definitely very liberal, and very open to social issues. We need open forums like this, instead of social media flame wars.
Loved geroldo n donaue though
Donahue came before all of them, tho
Phil came before Mort
THIS is TV
I remember watching this when it aired live...the funniest exchange begins at 26:26 😅
You're right. I bet Jerry never had the guts to blow cigarette smoke into guest' faces. :D
Morton's father was a famous irish tenor sung for Kenney at inauguration and open up for Judas Priest, on Turbo Lover tour
The musician with long black hair and leather jacket puts down the music business 30:09 and then he is hoping to ride Aces coattails to the top 32:05 which tells me the guy is out for himself.
He was trying to kiss aces ass constantly but Ace wouldn't even have it.
There were some black members of harder bands like Suicidal Tendencies and others. Now there is body count and many other African Americans that enjoy heavy metal. Just because you don't see a black person in a band does not mean they don't enjoy the music.
Sucks I was too young to see this,I was probably at school when this aired on TV.
Ace having a blast
Nice earing
Circus of Power look and sound like one of those bands you would find in the $5.99 Sale Bin at Tower Records or Virgin Megastore.
ROCK N ROLL........
Screw Jerry R. It was Morty D all the way. And this show destroyed the neon myth of the '8-0's ! R.I.P. Mort 🤘
I think ace is drunk lmao
Let's see Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer do a show like this.
Circus of Power kicked butt...never heard of them...shame
Mort's earring 😁
34:42 - "If this was Iran now....with the Ayatolla Kakamaymi......" lol
millenials and gen z would have a heart attack watching this run for their safe spaces 🤣
Stuart Goldman would have been laid out had Johnny Ramone been on this show.
I love how the clueless fuck gives Scott Ian shit about not helping the homeless. If the idiot had bothered to watch the video for "Who Cares Wins" back in the day, he would have seen that there was two addresses for organizations that directly helped the homeless at the end of the video.
We found Yelawolfs dad .
AND it is a GREAT song.
Can't like Downey and the square guy mocking poor Joey.
Amazing that this type of stuff was on television. Now every show on tv is so overly produced and sqeaky clean and the hosts look so freaking fake... This world is devolving
I'm gonna smoke 100 cigarettes while watching this
Yea
😂😂😂
It would of been alot more entertaining if Dee Snider from Twisted Sister was on this episode lol
That guy is a big phoney blowhard
Meanwhile Downey himself sang in the style of Bing Crosby and the Kingston trio is certainly more akin to Crosby’s music than the Ramones. Downey was a crooner.
Morton is so punk rock!
"If this was eye-ran with the ayatollah cockamamie" hahaahaha!
ACE @ 32:15
I'LL PUT MYSELF UP AGAINST ANYBODY
Not the father of Iron Man. Where did you ever get that idea? How many people do you suppose are named Downey?
Robert Downey Jr's father was, amazingly, Robert Downey Sr.
Barren Cross. What goofs
Dude insulting Joey Ramone’s way of speaking. The guy was nervous ok? That dude who was a ‘replacement for the Kingston trio’ was seriously out of touch for the times. He hasn’t even caught up to the 70’s. And he was a music critic?
Such a bully, thinking he's better.
Public Enemy and Anthrax are the same (certain) song
Were any of these groups popular after they appeared on this show?
johnny Z would have lost the pretty reckeless- the best classic-metal band working today
Critics are just failed artists. So what do they know?
Anyone know who that guys is at 34:10
A couple of years after this the metal bands that were on here became nothing, and were replaced by Seattle rock bands.
the bands in the crowd, not kiss and anthrax
@@wildcat6669 anthrax was reduced to clubs....kiss had to put the makeup back on....90s were a rough time for metal

Zip it
Wally got it started and he took it from there..same show, different host and and father of IRON MAN.
Robert Downey Jr is not his son
Circus of Power, lol.
Scot shoulda laid the guy out.
Joey Ramone was so druggy he couldn't even answer what punk meant
13:15 Me when I get a record deal
Elvis didn't start shit
stole his musical style, songs & dance moves from black artists and never gave credit to them, that's the only he started
@@CYOnTheBeat Jackie Wilson said all the black artists stole Elvis’ dance moves.
@@CYOnTheBeat Wrong. He gave them credit many times, Elvis never claimed he invented anything.
16:48 What did Ace say? Lol
"They don't photograph as well". That's why he got booed.
The show was always entertaining, but at 37:14, do I see a young kid in the audience? What the hell are his parents thinking, bringing him to be in the audience of that show?
Im 66 and kiss was, back in the day of high school, to my generation , was a piece of crap. The younger kids took to them, though.
Ace made a racist joke 😂 yikes that didn’t age well but jokes are jokes. The critics are proof “woke” types have always lurked around getting on people’s nerves.
Exactly.
holo
Parental Guidance Labels! Whose cares?
I shit my pants
@Rudylittleroof How about Israel's Netandyahoo, get him tryna pronounce his name without making ppl laugh! LOL!!!
Jerry Springer is nothing more than a Mort imitating wanna be...
What a prat
All the hairspray must've burned a hole through the roof
platform, rock n roll, satan, what is punk, feminism and music industry, who the hell is jesse nash, is music racist? lot of really important points but like nothing to follow through. but its like campfire convos I've had with my friends which is great, but there was booze , so i guess i get it. but uhhhhhhh
Joey couldn't even explain the type of music The Ramones played! Lol! Not a bright guy!
LOL Circus of Power SUUUUUCKS.
Circus of power pretty weak
Ace is so dumb
