@@satevo462 i loved the mobie too but it was supposed to be based on his entries between 1963-1967. So it was very much a 90s version but with an anti-heroin message as a result of it being made in a time when heroin was making a big comeback
Ironically, this was most recently in a movie with Michael Rooker. Who was in another movie that let people rediscover "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone.
Just saw "the people that died in 2023" on my newsfeed. At 71, I still have 3 remaining functioning neurons....one of them remembered Jim Carroll and "People who died". Listened to it.... Excellent Absolutely Excellent....I salute you
Yo I remember hearing this in Dawn of the Dead and was so excited to hear it in the Suicide Squad, even though the song itself has some pretty depressing lyrics. R.I.P Jim Carroll and all his friends
RIP to my grandpa who took his own life 2 weeks ago 3 days after my birthday. I'll always remember you and I know you're not suffering anymore. I love you.
@@currahee1782 kind of annoying when people only find good music through popular movies/shows. Otherwise they stick to their Imagine Dragons & Rae Sremmurd.
@@Crunch_Buttsteak shouldn’t really be an issue tho. I understand the annoying factor of people just learning about certain music/songs due to film but oh well, that’s how people broaden out their taste in music at times. Combining two forms of entertainment to create something captivating is a good way to get people hooked onto something, just like this movie did with its soundtrack. If anything it should be a joy that people find out about music through film, and vice versa
Indeed it brought me here but I heard it in another movie once before and now that I know it’s Jim Carroll I am wondering if it was The Basketball Diaries.
@@ZaZaZoo22 yes he wrote the basketball diaries, I've read the book and seen the movie. Imo I would rather watch the movie. The book was too sexed up and I kinda found it distasteful. I didn't even finish it I got half way through the book and l put it down. But this was back in the last 80s or early 90s when I read this book. I'm not sure if they still have it in print.

It's a good book too. The books actually alot better cause he wrote it himself and it's exactly accurate to the time in his life where the movie is almost nothing like what really went down. Jim barely had any input (despite it being about his own life). But also Leonardo's acting... one of his greatest gigs istg. Such a talent.
I’m 47. Owned this album. Loved the Jim Carroll band when I was younger. When this song started playing with in the Suicide Squad movie based of what had just happened, I about lost my shit lol some songs take you straight back. This one did that.
I'm not here from Suicide Squad or even The Basketball Diaries. I heard of Jim Carroll through his poetry and books, then his music (which I love) and then to learning most of his life story. This man is a huge inspiration for me. I'm not a dr0g addict or anything, but I'm a guy with long hair and who loves to write stories and poetry then turn the poetry into punk/new wave/grunge tunes. I love Jim Carroll, huge male role model for me.
Yesterday I was talking with one of my fellow RN's that I have worked with almost 20 years in the ER. We were talking about all people we knew who died. Then this song creeped into my brain. 32 years in the ER might be too long.
Dave died alone in his chair in his room Well he just turned 50, it was way too soon Oderus went up in flames Now all of Valhalla chants his name! Brockie, I miss you more than all the others I salute you my brother!
First heard this song in 1980 and was immediately in love. Maybe not the best poem ever, maybe not even the best song ever, Burt a damned strong candidate in both categories.
I saw Jim Carroll around the middle of October 1989 in Seattle Washington me and the friend followed a band called the hickoids from Texas the next night at the same place Jim Carroll played a very small relative private venue fucking sweet show bless you Jim Carroll rip bro like another one of my friends that just died and the shout out to Simon that blew his brains out all over in front of me when we're on acid who had a freak out in my twenties rip anyone to whose friend who had died
@@maureenradford7943that's cool I also had a fun time hanging with and conversating with the whole band they were quite impressed we followed them across 3 states from San Francisco.. what year did you see them.
I did far too much acid in my youth, and I can not fully imagine what it would be like to witness such a surreal, traumatic event in that state of mind . . . yet I can imagine enough of how it would effect me afterwards that I know beyond any doubt I wouldn't want any experience even close to that. The surrealism involved in seeing such a tragedy would be so intense, and enduring, that I probably would continue to feel high on acid for several days after!
My friend Greg Q. and I arrived at Elliot Bay Books just in time for Mr. Carroll to begin his in-store reading promoting his (then) new book "The Book of the Nods". He opened with a short poem I still remember, " Sure, I've got a ? ( I can't remember what word he used for needle, hypo, rig, works, ) I use it to baste my tiny turkey". Huge laughs in the packed bookstore. We sat through his evening of select poems, prose pieces enraptured by his words, although it was obvious nearly everyone in the place was already familiar with nearly every word already. Still his grittiness, his brutal honesty and his jaded but still naive narratives cut us to ribbons like razors, rusted and dirty from the grime only found in the darkest corners of the inner city. We waited until after the book signings, polite chit chat and all, until the three of us ( plus a couple staffers) were all that remained. We approached the frail and unassuming redheaded bard and invited him to come with us to see Green River (featuring future members of Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam) play at the Vogue. He politely declined and seemed sincerely not annoyed with our late requests for autographs in our well read and dog- eared copies of Forced Entries, Living at the Movies, and the aforementioned Nods. A great memory. RIP, brother.
Heard the Hollywood Vampires cover this live and they smashed it!!! The best song the Ramones never did!!!! Such an underrated track, but not one for a wedding party!!!! Impossible not to sing along!!!! Another one taken too such!!!! “Tony couldn’t fly - Tony died” classic stuff
Some years back, I contacted Jim Carroll and asked him to amend the lyrics to this song to include friends of mine and people in my family who have died. He never responded, so I think any claim to this being an all-inclusive compendium of those who have died is on very thin ice.
Think I'll have that played when it's my day . My friends would understand. The irony wouldn't be lost believe me.. kicking little tune . Being Irish I get it.. ✌️
I know this song is from 1980 and most people today associate it with the Suicide Squad movie. But I always think of the 2004 Dawn of the Dead movie when I hear it.
I had 2 budz that I used to hang with and they’re both gone. One died as if he didn’t care, and the other (Travis Cooper) gave his life for a stranger. He was on his way home after work and he came across 4 young guys beating on a native. He hollered at them, and they turned their attention to Travis beating him to death. The first victim survived. A few years ago, I had a dream where I bumped into Travis in the busiest street that I have ever seen. He took off and I tried to follow him but there was so many people (and no cars or vehicles of any kind), but I seen him go into a building, I followed. The door was very thick and made of wood, it seemed odd and very old looking. It was very dark inside, I was trying to feel my way around when a bunch of lights came on at the far end of a huge room. I seen him on stage as he started playing music, it was very loud, but sounded perfect. Then I woke up
Astute observation! Jim Carroll played at Jazz Berry's in Rochester NY 1991, he was sitting on a stool in front of both restrooms checking people's IDs as they went in! Then he read for 45 min. Then our local Rock Gods The Earthlings backed Jim on 8 or 9 songs. Quite the stellar evening! Punk for sure! Very funny guy.
My cat just recently died, and I realized how relevant this song is getting as I get older. I had so many friends, family and acquaintances who died as time has gone one...
At 22 running wild With all my friends At the time Made a unsober claim Will never see 40 Live fast die young Leave a good looking Corpse What I thought at the Time was just a nother Stupid line Came the truth I ain't lieing Now alone at 44 I'm the only 1 Surviving
You'd think going into this song at first that it would be dark or depressing but then the balls-to-the-wall guitars kick in and then the lyrics themselves: more sad, poignant and absurdly funny than dark at all. RIP Jim - a fantastic creature of New York City in one of its best periods.

I had the opportunity to have a dinner with him while he was still alive. Great man

Also used in Mr Robot
This was also at the beginning of ET when the kids ordered pizza.

Teddy sniffing glue he was twelve years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was eleven when she pulled the plug
On twenty six reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, fourteen years old
He looked like sixty five when he died

Those are people who died, died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in The Tombs

Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

They were all my friends, and they died
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof

But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died
Those are people who died, died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends and they died
Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it's dangerous
But it sure beats Riker's
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers

1 of the best title sequence songs ever
I've had this song stuck in my head for days. I couldn't get it out, so today I looked it up under "everyone dies dies punk song" and here I am.
Zappa!!!!!!!
James Gunn really said “y’all mind if we switch teams?”
This is one of the truest songs, and one that sounds better the older you are.
So this is the famous suicide squad
Peter Griffin: "Ah ah he said it. He said it."
Yeab and unfortunately thier your brothers n sisters for the next few days
That name is insensitive the correct term is task force x
We’ve all lost friends to suicide 😞 love this song ❤️ Thank you Jim RIP
I’ve seen my best friend hanging I broke down
RIP Scott Hutchinson.
Yo no
I haven't.
My friends don't kill themselves. Must be you.
basketball diares is wonderfull movie. He did such a great job after recovery. Great respect

And it'll definitely hit different at 47 and 57, if I'm not one of those people who die, die.
Wow thats exactly how i felt just now
I heard this song many years ago in “mr robot”. now I hold this vinyl in my hands and listen to it so often ❤️
And here you will be

I remember when it started getting radio play. 80’s? Guess I vaguely remember…hahaha! Love ya pals!
R.I.P Captain Boomerang killed off to soon but his chopped off arm holding his Boomerang so bad ass!
hopefully the flash might bring him back, i wanted to cry when he died so early on since he was one of the characters i was most excited to see return

R.I.P Teddy, Cathy, Bobby, G-Berg, George, second Bobby, Mary, third Bobby, Judy, Tony, and especially Eddie.
I wonder if they were real people the band members knew. If so, I wonder if they all actually died like this.
@@ThatsJustLikeYourOpinionManyeah real story
Thankyou
The Quake SF 1982ish, my first introduction to Jim Carroll Band.....
WHAT A MASTERPIECE. RIP MR.CARROLL.❤
Man all my friends have died but this song helps me celebrate their lives but cry inside simultaneously
😊
Hear, hear!!!
Still as amazing as when I first heard it more than forty years back. The guitar work is brilliant.
Think I'll have that played when it's my day . My friends would understand. The irony wouldn't be lost believe me.. kicking little tune . Being Irish I get it.. ✌️
I know this song is from 1980 and most people today associate it with the Suicide Squad movie. But I always think of the 2004 Dawn of the Dead movie when I hear it.
I had 2 budz that I used to hang with and they’re both gone. One died as if he didn’t care, and the other (Travis Cooper) gave his life for a stranger. He was on his way home after work and he came across 4 young guys beating on a native. He hollered at them, and they turned their attention to Travis beating him to death. The first victim survived.
A few years ago, I had a dream where I bumped into Travis in the busiest street that I have ever seen. He took off and I tried to follow him but there was so many people (and no cars or vehicles of any kind), but I seen him go into a building, I followed. The door was very thick and made of wood, it seemed odd and very old looking. It was very dark inside, I was trying to feel my way around when a bunch of lights came on at the far end of a huge room. I seen him on stage as he started playing music, it was very loud, but sounded perfect.
Then I woke up
favorite song for holloween play list for holloween partys
Musician, writer..Jim Carroll was pure punk.
Astute observation! Jim Carroll played at Jazz Berry's in Rochester NY 1991, he was sitting on a stool in front of both restrooms checking people's IDs as they went in! Then he read for 45 min. Then our local Rock Gods The Earthlings backed Jim on 8 or 9 songs. Quite the stellar evening! Punk for sure! Very funny guy.
My cat just recently died, and I realized how relevant this song is getting as I get older. I had so many friends, family and acquaintances who died as time has gone one...
This is a good bridge jumping song. I love it
"Peacemaker...What a joke"
“Who’s Milton”
I can be your friend milton
@AZURE we just talked about your name like 3 hours ago
What people think this is about: a talking shark.
What it's really about: kids dying in the ghetto.
If you grew up poor in NYC in the 70s and 80s this song describes your childhood.
The ATCO Records 45 rpm vinyl single Bubbled Under the Billboard Hot 100 Charts at No. 103 in late 1980.
Great punk rock song.
This is one of the most warped yet catchiest songs I have ever heard so far.
Haven't heard this song in long time. Good one.
Nice song, guys ❤
Love it
This is a great song so awesome that I play it at least 2x a year. In my head is another story, probably once a week
All of these years and I never knew that Jim Caroll and his band sang this song.
Fabulous
I don't have enough fingers on my hands for all family & friends who died, this song is the perfect homage to all of them, pure love
This is a dope song
My friend showed me this song on vinyl!!! Such a happy song. 😂
This song hits my heart
Jon, I salute you, brother.
Lost one of my friends last night. May God bless your everlasting memory Frannie Baby!!💔
R.I.P MaxX 🐈⬛ you was a true Road Warrior we love you 🖤
At 22 running wild
With all my friends
At the time
Made a unsober claim
Will never see 40
Live fast die young
Leave a good looking
Corpse
What I thought at the
Time was just a nother
Stupid line
Came the truth
I ain't lieing
Now alone at 44
I'm the only 1
Surviving
43 and the first time hearing this song absolutely love it
*Here because of Stevie P. 💋 thank you!
They should use this in the opening credits if they ever make a Suicide Squad TV series.
The opening credits looked like something out of a 90s-2000s Tv Series.
So 5 months later there is a kinda Suicide Squad show, and it has a dope intro. Not sure if I'd prefer this over Wigwam.
Hey, wasn't "The Peacemaker" out 9 months ago? So they did make a "Suicide Squad TV series lol! And its AWESOME!
He's not wrong
You'd think going into this song at first that it would be dark or depressing but then the balls-to-the-wall guitars kick in and then the lyrics themselves: more sad, poignant and absurdly funny than dark at all. RIP Jim - a fantastic creature of New York City in one of its best periods.
I love this song and the marvelous revenge of the little yellow bird
