@@BongEyedBastard RATM opened up for ST during their tour in Germany way back in gods knows how many years ago. I heard that ST's "You'll do what I tell ya" a few years later, was a diss-track from ST against RATM. Apparently they learned during their tour with them that RATM ain't really that Suicidal. ;-)
Agreed but this whole band was underrated. Should've been considered for the "big 4". Because this band was bigger than the business wanted them to be.
@@markbrown7968 But I mean in order to be part of the big 4 you needed to be strictly a trash band, while I love suicidal, it's more of crossover/punk and doesn't have the exact same fanbase.
Rocky George is an absolute beast on guitar. And the bassist in this band, Robert Trujillo, is now in Metallica. He also played for Ozzy Osbourne for many years before that.
While the rest of the world was listening to stuff like Van Halen and Def Leopard, I was jammin' Suicidal Tendencies and NWA... Great memories, thanks for checking them out!
How Will I Laugh Tomorrow by Suicidal Tendencies...it'll have ya in a deep dark place about mental meltdowns. saved my life more times than i can count
Yep, same here man. I grew up in the 80's and was fortunate enough to enjoy their debut album when it was released. Had it on vinyl. I would always come back to that album periodically, but when I was 13 and through until about 16 I had some real self destructive thoughts that I battled. The song institutionalized, and suicidal failure helped me through it in their own wierd ways. The one that really helped though, was how will I laugh tomorrow. 'Problems never solved just rearranged' really resonated and helped me underdstand that there are always going to be problems and to not dwell on the problem right now as tomorrow will be a new problem.
@@lobotomizedjellyfish2171 this shit needs a love button..seriously. i couldnt have said it any better. "problems never solved, just rearranged". that line woke me like it did you. nowadays, when life looks like its about to take a dump on me, i dont flinch as i once did. and for that song, im thankful
They started as hardcore punk band and slowly converted to thrash by the time this album came out. Their first 2 albums are their best because they sound most punk
ST got banned from playing live shows in all LA County due by a riot happened in a concert they played, I believe people trashed the place, but the only place they'd played a small gig was outside in the parking lot of a music Warehouse store by the north of Vermont Av or Hoover st I can't remember!

They were banned from playing in LA during the late 80s because of so many people getting hurt in the mosh pit. They were from South LA, like NWA and Slayer. The real deal!
I still have my flipped brimmed suicidal hat written with white out.. this was late 80s possibly 1987.. My best friend ever introduced me to this song after my dad died..the lyrics are soo powerful.. I sing this song every time I feel hurt, every time somebody tries to screw me, every time I face fear…
THIS... THIS is what heavy metal is about. Not giving a SHIT about what people think. Not giving a shit about what you heard. Unless you heard it from themselves, don't fucking believe it. Believe half of what you see & quarter of what you hear. Nothing but love for those that love. Never give a fuck about the haters, all they do is make you more famous, so focus on those that love. 🤙👏🤘👍♠️🖕
Thank you for your channel and your reactions, suicidal tendencies are a great band, they've been around for a very long time and are a great band, thank you very much.
YES!!! I learned of Suicidal when I was about 11 (back in the 80’s shh). They have been a staple for me ever since. I’ve even gotten to see them live which was awesome.
F kin eh' right man...Lakeland Florida they opened for Megadeth...oh ya also saw them in St. Pete or Tampa opening for queensryche...Suicidal stomped queensryche...the Megadeth show was great...most polite crowd upon exiting...hard rockers are polite and most let the music do the tawlkin'
love suicidal. they been around since 81. I would put them in the thrash punk funk metal category. Another band similar to suicidal without the funk thrash aspect is D.R.I. Also rage against the machine didn't come around until 91.
They came out of Dogtown (Venice Beach, California),in the 80’s when it was a working class neighborhood, the singer’s older brother was a member of the legendary Z Boys skateboard team made famous from the movie Lords of Dogtown and his brother founded the skateboard company Dogtown Skateboards which was the successor of Zephyr of the Z Boys after Zephyr went out of business, and the band was actually banned in LA for years because they were connected to gangs in the neighborhood because of their fans
Awesome! I saw them open for megadeth in I think 92 at the cow palace in san francisco. Great band to see live, plus I got to meet Mike Muir after the show. Cool dude to talk to.
The song is about censorship and the negative stuff that comes with it and of course standing for freedom speech choice and freedom period (: And the crazy thing is they censored the song (: How lame is that freaking crazy (:
Awww my poor child,...first time hearing Suicidal? You've been deprived,...this group was one of the pioneers in bridging thrash/punk with hip hop/street culture...absolutely legendary. Their first album was the funnest.
Saw metallica at the Hollywood palladium in1985 a lot of guys in line for the concert with there baseball caps pushed back suicidal tendencies written on and flannels tide around there waist. LA punk scene/ metal.
been a fan of suicidal since back in the 80s, Still have several of their songs on my playlist i listen to daily. IceT band body count covered instutionalized.. should react to the suicidal version followed by the body count version.. much the same but very different.. Suicidal for life...
Awesome, Scribe! So glad I caught this - ST reactions used to get pulled quick from what I heard. Hopefully not yours. One of the best lead guitarists and most fun metal/funk/skater band ever.Bass player also amazing, as mentioned now with metallica. Rhythm guitar player wrote most riffs. Singer Mike was also in Infectious Grooves - a similar band but not nearly as good.
Yes they were genuinely banned from playing within the city limits of LA for a decade. A fight between gangs broke out at their show and they got the blame.
Probably the first and only Latino and Black punk thrash metal bands from the hood (south central LA and Long Beach). Definitely to the best. Rocky should be WAY more famous as a guitarist!
Absolutely love this band an have for years! Im over 50 an this shit still gets me hyped. lol Me an Psycho MikeO been goin apeshit for a long time. Alone an Revolution are some of many other grea ST songs. PEACE!!!!!
They were band in L.A. for awhile. Forgot why. Think they did a fee show in a parking lot and it got violent with gangs. Try Trip at the brain by them🤘
If you loved this one, you should also check out Institutionalized, Subliminal, I saw your mommy, Send me your money, and Living for life. More importantly, there is a related, more funk-oriented band called Infectious Grooves. Mike Muir and Rob Trujillo play in that as well, and boy, does Rob let his skills on the four strings shine.
*I'm 64 from SoCal, this was, and still is my all time favorite band, this song was perfect mood music for surfing big waves.* *I had friends that hung out with these guys, but I never met up with them.*
Suicidal predates Rage, but they are also a mixed-race band who speak often about social issues. They were banned in LA among many other cities (cause people of color are SCARY in certain settings), but I've seen them 4 times live! Love this band. Rocky should be in the R&RHOF! Mikey (vox) is cool as fuKK and was cool to me outside of a venue where he called me a cab once... Loved watching you rock out to this tune... Peace! Cheers!!!
They were way before Rage. They're from the 80s. They were one of the first to blend punk and metal to form thrash. Chili Peppers wanted to be them and tried ripping them off. Anthrax was East coast and Suicidal was West coast.
Yes their Hometown is LA and they were banned from LA you need to check out some songs from the album doing the army and you'll hear a rap influence big time 80s thrash metal
they were before rage. he said you would not know what crazy is if charles manson was eating fruit loops on your front porch................good line, real talk. Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
To answer your question, Suicidal was before Rage Against the Machine.
Who is Rage against the Machine?? LOL not even the same ball park as Suicidal
At least a decade before.

technically this is crossover thrash; RATM is alternative metal
They started in 80/81
This song got my husband through the rough times of being young for sure
Fwiw, they were actually banned from playing shows in LA from something like '83-'89 because their shows got pretty bananas.

A Classic and they definitely were an inspiration to Ice T with his band Body Count since they were Punk/Metalheads from the hood
Suicidal tendencies is more than 10 years older than Rage against the machine. ST formed in 1980. Rage was 1991.
