I cant help but wonder how many people from the 90s realize that C.O.C. started out as a hardcore punk band in the early to mid 80's. Either way its all good. They played what they wanted to and didnt give a shit about what others were doing. They showed that they could play multiple styles from punk and hardcore to grunge to hard edged southern rock and metal.
Yep They sure did as did Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a few others Suicidal Tendencies the most recognizable name but there were some who turned New Wave or MOD was our word for them.....Thanks man I haven't thought about this stuff in Years

@@frankryan8100 I think the more telling sign is that the "peaceful" protesters are the jack-boot thugs... Also, really? "the rioting aspect"? Wake up! Today's protests aren't real... they're less about protest and more about lazy, delinquent, young Americans, without a cause, exploiting any situation they find. Like the guy said.. "No work shoes, tools or books have been looted!" Posers All!!!
@ the "peaceful protestors" are useful idiots to the radical left (useless to normal people) who are willing to die (well, not really) fighting for what they were told to believe. BLM and Antifa are radical marxist leftist domestic terror organizations that have brainwashed millions. They are brave when it's 10 of them on one guy, but in reality they are a bunch of pussies.

Heard this song in a friends shop yesterday, and just had to know what it was. How this band remained under my radar for all this time is seriously bugging me. This is fucking massive.
Damn really can’t believe reed passed away I’ve grown up with COC and I got to see them with my dad when they went on tour with black label society and that was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen Rees Mullen was kicking so much ass and as a drummer who’s been playing drums since I was 3 seeing one of my biggest idols was truly a experience I will never forget and hold deep within my heart thank you Reed. Rest In Peace 🤘🤘
There is only two classifications when it comes to music in my mind and it doesn't matter what genre. It is simply, "there is that that rocks, and that that doesn't" It's not better but it fucking rocks check out Independent, by Sacred Reich if you haven't already heard it. If I had to say one song epitomized "that that rocks" it would be "Crawling". And to complete the rest of that phrase the epitome of "that that doesn't" I would point to any of morrissey's auditory turds.
Man, just got hooked back into some C.O.C. Used to throw this tune and Clean My Wounds and of course a bunch of other tunes) in the CD player when we got a Priority One run in the ambulance back in the day. Of course, we adhered to all applicable traffic laws. But flying down the street with lights an siren going, and some Metal pumping, was killer! Miss those days.
This album (Blind) was a must-have for me and my boys back in the day! Should be in every metalhead's collection... along with "Deliverance" TIMELESS groove-metal!
Saw COC at The Marquee in London touring this album in 92... They were totally on fire... One of the best gigs ever. Had tickets to see them at Desertfest last year but they had to cancel..... Come back to the UK soon, guys!
Best C.O.C. Of all time Drums ,are phenomenal from the one and only R.M. R.I.P. drum brother ... BLIND is an epos for me love it from first sec to last...

Nobody can deny this part of the song 2:32 onwards has the power to blow your fucking head clean off.. COC top 10. I bet when they recorded it they must have looked at each other and started going.. This is heavy as shit!
Yeah, man, they've come up with a perfect climax for this song. One of the finest and heaviest riffs I have ever heard since I started listening to heavy music in the 90's. When I listen to this in my car, I can't help putting the volume to maximum and accelerating my machine.

Check out into the static by after the burial
Would you believe that 99% of this song is written with a blues scale? Its one of my favorites to play cuz this song goes hard as fuuuuck

@@LeadMe2TheBlissSouthern, progressive/ sludge METAL!

I'm 47 from Ireland and a fan for years. This is exactly how voting was done in the North of Ireland a few years ago, with bullets.

Blind is great but we can agree to disagree
Comes in handy every four years
