Bass God Mike Watt with The Minutemen, fronted by the sorely missed D. Boon. Track : Corona....yep, the original...used by Jackass. One of Bassted.com's Bass Gods.
It always impressed me how D. Boon thrashed around onstage endlessly. And never missed a beat, singing every word and playing every note effortlessly. I would be dead if I tried that, and I'm in pretty decent shape. He is definitely sadly missed. The most underrated band to have ever existed.
I saw them open for REM in Norfolk, VA on December 4, 1985. I went there to see REM but was blown away by this band that I'd never heard before. The next day I went to the record store and bought all the stuff they had on cassette. D died a few weeks later.
Anytime in my life I’m in a foul mood I put any live version of Corona on and watching D Boon dance around while he’s playing that opening lick is so fucking great 😍
Austin Lucas Fatty Arbuckle was known to be very agile. Being able to do multiple backflips, cartwheels, etc... Now, I'm sad, thinking how he died destitute and hated, because of a false rape allegation. :-(
And here we are again! The people will survive In their environment The dirt, scarcity, and the emptiness Of our South The injustice of our greed The practice we inherit The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness Of our South There on the beach I could see it in her eyes I only had a Corona Five cent deposit
Bless d. boon for all the love he put into music Bless Mike Watt for babbling about the brotherhood of man Bless George Hurley for his goofy haircuts. Bless the Minutemen for fighting against imperialism, capitalism, fascism
And today (Dec. 22, 2020) marks the 35th anniversary of d. Boone’s death at the age of 27 in a traffic accident. The axel fell off of his van while he was resting in the back. For punk rock in Los Angeles, that is the day the music died. Mike Watt did amazing work with fIREHOSE (and other bands) after that, but it definitely broke a part of his heart forever.
I was at the REM show in Charlotte, NC at the park center. The Minutemen opened and they were so great. At some point, Mike Watt, who was dressed like Fidel Castro, frisbeed his hat straight out into the audience. It came right to me. Still got it. Ran out the next day and bought 55 on the 10 and Buzz or Howl. I was so crushed when I heard D. Boon had died. That night he was just the most alive person I had ever seen onstage. He was like a big jumping bean. And so intense and funky on the guitar. They were so unique. Never saw anything like it before or since. Amen to REM for insisting that The Minutemen open for them on that tour.

Mike Watt is a goddamn pioneer of music and an awesome human. The~ people will survive in their environment. All the dirt, scarcity and the emptiness...of our south. The injustice of our greed. The practice we inherit. What the Hell's the United States doing in Central America?! I don't fuckin' know! I could see it in her eyes... There on the beach... Oh I only had a Corona. Five-cent deposit!
Dunno about every ep, but on the DVD's of the Jackass tv show, they credit the Minutemen at the end for the theme, along with all the other songs that were used in the show
D. Boon would be shocked at this current world where the U.S. has bases all over the world including Syria. Man so far ahead of his time. Old lessons forgotten.
All the stars shine. Some burn brighter than others. But every once and a while, one bursts across the sky in spectacular fashion and is gone. That is what makes them special. All we can do is keep looking up and enjoy the show. ~*
d. Boon moved well for a big man. It seemed as if he consciously played those thin strings more often to give Watt his "space" on the bass. It's a great sound. I preferred fIREHOSE, but these guys were great.
Elmo Blatch totally about that space, absolutely, if you have the chance go see Mike Watt and the Tom and Jerry Show I just saw them this weekend, and it was all about each instrument (drums, bass, guitar) having their own space, totally great rhythmic relationships and bursts of noise and energy. easily one of the best shows I've seen in a good long while, it was amazing! I haven't even really been a fan of these guys for that long, and I'm just learning about the Minutemen, it's a tragedy I could never see them too!
@@jsogman I saw Mike Watt and the Missingmen just a few months ago, and my experience was totally the same! Mike found this really young guy that's an amazing drummer and surprisingly can actually hold up to George Hurley. The guitarist was perfect as well, absolutely nailed the tone. It was a fantastic show. I recommend anyone that likes the Minutemen to go see Mike Watt in one of his bands.
You preferred fIREHOSE ... and you've listened to The Minutemen's epic masterpiece Double Nickels on the Dime? If not, you're missing out big time! If so, I highly recommend giving that another listen.
He died in a car accident, laying in the back of a van while sick with the flu when the rear axle fell off in a pothole. (Keep in mind it _was_ 1985, he was born in 1958, and lots of people still didn't wear a seat belt.) The year before he died (1984,) some of his lyrics on their double album "Double Nickels on the Dime" had these lyrics: "I make certain that my head is connected to my body." (From "It's Expected, I'm Gone." His neck broke in the wreck.) "Pothole in the road? It's only a detour." (from "Nothing Indeed.")
What's the idea with the Minutemen/MikeWatt title? This is just Minutemen! Why not title it Minutemen/D.Boon...or Minutemen/George Hurley for that matter? Either would make just as less sense as Minutemen/Mike Watt!
+terrypussypower - So people who look for Mike Watt can find this too. Huge numbers of Mike Watt fans were born well after D. Boon died, and might not be familiar with the Minutemen....
@cnees208 Far as I can remember, yes, the Minutemen have been credited in every single thing to come out of Jackass, and "Corona" has been identified by title.
When I saw Mike with that shaven head, I was dreading that George would have no Unit But George has the Unit Why in the actual fuck did Mike Watt shave his head
Jackass probably never could have chosen a better intro song. Fucking legendary.
‘I’m Johnny knoxville and this is 2020’
Hi I'm Johnny Knoxville and welcome to 2021
I'm Johnny Knoxville and welcome to 2022
Im not a conspiracy theorist and i dont watch underage kids
this song will be a huge hit in 2020
Nara Nare uh I think not 🤢🤮
Hahaha
gone viral..
I think you're about 20 years late to that party
Literally
D Boon is the biggest tragedy in rock history. He wasn't a junkie, he was just a normal guy.
For sure, he was not a regular man...
Such a tragedy.
Colin I remember a Glenn Brsnca interview where he suggested the CIA killed him.They were just too righteous to live.
Yes, "normal" guy in the best sense of the word. He was not a Darby Crash looking for endless attention and always stoned.
Yes. Dboon was a very cool boy and very talent musician. He played anything ha wanted. He could be a Rockstar if he wanted.
D Boon was not only a great guitarist, he was a great showman as well. Very light on his feet for his size.
It always impressed me how D. Boon thrashed around onstage endlessly. And never missed a beat, singing every word and playing every note effortlessly. I would be dead if I tried that, and I'm in pretty decent shape. He is definitely sadly missed. The most underrated band to have ever existed.
originals and nonconformists are rare, D. Boon and the Minutemen were a rare thing. So glad I got to see them twice before D. Boon's tragic death.

@@jbradford00 so luucky man, must have been an awesome moment
How did he die?
@@kitsunette433 auto accident. He and his girl friend tumbled in a van. D died and she survived. 1985.
Am 45 years old how did I miss this fucking great band .. oh well found them now
Never to late with music eh..x
Don't fret, us Mainers are WaaaaaaY outta the loop. Mike Watts continues to carry the econo-style flag. RIP D. Boon
+TheToes9 You should check out fIREHOSE too, if you haven't already.
i would kill to have been at this gig; The minutmen, husker du, and the sort of new to me Meat Puppets. Best gig in the history of gigs.
What a dream my god
It was a great time for music. So many good bands.
Was there :)
The tour was at The Stone in Palo Alto and this one in SF. Saw the PA show, closer to home. Magic. Got to meet them.
Anytime in my life I’m in a foul mood I put any live version of Corona on and watching D Boon dance around while he’s playing that opening lick is so fucking great 😍
D Boon was a realy good Dancer! I love his Jumps^^
incredible how so fat man hops!
@@benediktron He sure was Acrofatic. I spelled that right.
@@101Volts Now he must be in Heaven singing: "Corona-virus"

RIP Dennes Dale "D." Boon. To my ear, with his Telecaster, D. Boon was and is the Steve Cropper of punk rock.
This is from the SST Tour at the Stone in San Francisco in March '85. I was at this show.
God bless man
Still the best after 32 years.
Música hardcore
Bless d. boon for all the love he put into music
Bless Mike Watt for babbling about the brotherhood of man
Bless George Hurley for his goofy haircuts.
Bless the Minutemen for fighting against imperialism, capitalism, fascism
Almost forgot to watch this today. Phew.
D Boon LIVES!
Change the title, please. There's no Minutemen/ Mike Watt. This is Minutemen.
Since the channel is bass-focused, they mentioned the bassist’s name.

Quite a story. Would have loved to see them live. Music and shows like this just don't exist anymore.
Here's their last show that you were at, 1985 - December - 13 (opening for R.E.M.:)

This song is very relevant in 2020 lmao.
The song that plays in my head whenever I'm about to make a stupid decision.
like whenU.S. sticks their head into other developing countries' politics, totally get it. everytime.
The coronavirus theme song
Holy Shit Jack ass theme! It was the Minute men WOW.
first band I ever got to see practice. Love it.
osocoo I
Damn I miss those guys! Only saw them once, and we were fucking awestruck!

Goddammend D. Boone was a genius on and off stage. But luckily we still have Watt and Hurley and even George Crawford still with us.
Mike Watt, George Hurley and Ed Crawford (Ed fromohio).

Going to see mike watt next Monday in Glasgow
Minute Men are a hardcore band prog. fans can/will dig.
2020 brought me here
When the corona virus infects you...
Your ears don’t deserve this.
0:25
The song's about poor trash pickers in Mexico in the early 1980s living by making nickels off the return of beer bottles, not a virus.
Wish he was still around.
0:25 his hopping around when the song starts is hilarious
Well that's relevant
Made in the 80s became mainstream in the 2000s and now I just discovered it
Still great. Still valid.
Minutemen forever.
I remember his shoes. Lovely man...
such a talent, who was just hetting started, to quote Rovert Christgau, "shit, shit, shit!"
