We called this record the holy grail of 80's hardcore. Instant classic.

Some of the long hair dudes are from Nuclear Assault at the start.

I was a Corpsman stationed with a Marine rifle company in Afghanistan and Iraq, I would always listen to "Age of Quarrel" before going on a patrol. Great album for getting your aggro up.

I'm 37 and remember my hardcore/punk friend raving all about the Cro Mags back in the '80s. I also remember them coming down on tour in '88 and seeing some kids in school wearing the concert shirts. I was a metalhead and VERY closed-minded, so I never gave stuff like this a chance back then. I'll always love metal, but I'm glad as hell I opened my mind up to bands like the CM.

One of the greatest opening tracks of any album ever.

when punk, metal, and hardcore all get drunk together and gave a great time

I was 14 years old when I heard Cro-Mags for the first time and I knew I'm gonna love this music for all my LIFE ! I'm 45 now and this music still like it's new to me. So Powerfull !!! Thanks Cro-Mags for your music ! I hope that one day you can make peace and play again tohether !!!

Brilliant!! I remember the show in Scum Katwijk Holland.Only 20 people showed up and we couldn't believe it cus we were crazy about CroMags.Had a great time tho cus they played a full show for us and we were on stage half the time and stagediving into nothing!!

Im 42 And the Cro-Mags still sound as good as they did back in High School! Old School harcore!

one of the most amazing songs ever

Growing up in the culture of the early 2000s was a weird experience. I found hardcore and I knew where I belonged.

20 years later and I still get goosebumps when i see this video. NYHC for life!!!

Absolutely nothing pumped me up more as a kid than blasting this in the car on the way to, well, on the way to wherever!!! My eleven year old just watched this, and he is being classically trained on piano, but can't help but feel the passion, and raw power of THE CROMAGS!

Best Video ever...saw it in the early 90's on MTV in the night...it was a blast!!!!!

HANDS DOWN>>>>>>THE BEST 'METAL FACE' EVER @ 0:52

Ah the Confederate flag used to merely represent rebellion. Good times

If I were to pick one album to listen to for eternity. This one

Loved Bloodclot's flip into the crowd!! Classic NYHC, period. Closest I came to this was when Soulfly played the intro riff in the middle of a song-I damn near went apeshit

the best People ever, will always keep You in Memory! John: " Yea Maharaj ist strange sometimes… You will see" ;) You were right still he is a great friend as well as You are. My redhaired godly brother You still have Your Deity? It was so pretty. And this Song - We gotta know is simply the best Song ever! Thanx Cro Mags You are Legends!

I'm in this video somewhere, lol

I remember seeing this on 120 Minutes back in '87.

it's been near twenty year since i've heard that awesome song on an indie radio... i never really recovered from that schock!!! what a great tune, what a so talented singer, what a so huge (and wasted) band... such is life!!!

Not only one of the greatest opening songs of any album ever, the footage is some of the greatest You Tube video I've ever seen, especially that mess at 1:28 & following. Was so fortunate to have seen Cro Mags on tour with Anthrax (I think?) around 1984-85.

Just saw these guys last night,fucking legends of hardcore,keeping the scene alive,it was an awesome show

Seen em when I was a kid and this band lives on!!! I am 44 and seen all the olriginals!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad brain, voi-vod, af, mnor threat, but this album rulz!!!

Extreme music has to grow on everyone. When I first heard Dillinger escape plan (for instance) I thought it was total chaos shit. Now I catch their shows whenever I can.

The best. For however many years...the best.

Saw them in 87 at Christmas on Earth festival in Leeds England. Megadeth headlined, but the buzz was all about the Cro mags that day. And rightly so too, they were amazing and this 17 year old had never seen anything like it at the time.

First saw them back in 89 at the Christmas day on earth thrash festival in Leeds UK. Nuclear assault, Kreator, Megadeth, Virus, Overkill, Laaz Rocket, where also on the bill. Cro mags were fantastic, and the result of which saw myself buying the The Age of Quarrel the very next day on US import (Vinyl of course!) Costing over ten quid!!!! Worth every penny!!!

Doug , i met you about 5 YEARS ago in the Gramercy Area.We talked about Religion and Karma// and then you told me what a thrill touring with Lemmy was.You were a cool guy.I am still Star struck that i got to share philosophies and beliefs.May you live Long and prosper.

So true, brother. This just CRUSHES any of the new school "hard core". Whenever I wear my Cro Mags Age of Quarrel t-shirt, my chest just naturally puffs up a little, and that shirt always causes a sensation wherever I go among other old school punks who know what's up...

I think this was the first video on MTV to show people stage diving

I love old school hardcore.

a great band that i have seen play in nyc 3x and all of the shows were kick ass - we need more bandz like them

Still appreciate that beastie, thick, driving downbeat and guitars/bass that was ahead of its time in many respects.

this was the opening song for their show at soundwave :') GOOD TIMES, IT WAS SO GREAT!

First time saw this shit somewhere around 1989, as a then fucking SOVIET schoolboy - totally blew my fucking commie mind off! HARVEY FLANAGAN'S NAME WAS IMMORTALIZED IN SPLIT SECONDS AFTER PLAYING THIS BADASS FUCKING INTRO!

Cromags one of my favorite bands i got to know the guys they are awesome

in my opinion this is one of the best songs ever, with cro mags maybe best band ever

I saw them in hamburg markthalle think it was 86 or 87. Best show i ve ever seen in my live. Adrenalin from. Head to toes. Absolut power

The nyhc Bible Off the dopest ever nyhc record Yo nothing comes close to it Always love for the mags yo

This album blew me away in 86. saw them 87 in markthalle hamburg with my friend killer. It was a mindblowin show. We never saw such energy on stage till then. And everytime i listen to it i must say its a bilbe! My favorite albums are peter a tttb. Mating sounfs of american frogs, skrewdriver hail the new dawn, age of quarrel and everything from killing joke and thin lizzy. Greez from hamburg. Oi

@AdRock1035 Let's not forget about Murphy's Law, Nuclear Assault, Biohazard, BOLD, Prong, and Sick Of It All! I had all those on reel-to-reel casette tapes, too man hehe wow it sucks getting old but feels so heartwarming to recall all the good memories. Remember Infectious Grooves?

YEEEEEES! Cro-Mags' "Age of Quarrel" playes on the soundtrack of my youth as a skatepunk from the south Chicago 'burbs. I saw them circa 1988 or 1989??? at the famous Cubby Bear... I won't mention the acid here....

I do remember a day when I saw a video first time - it was more then 15 years ago. Still one of the best hardcore videos and songs ever! Real shit!!!

Congratulations! I am 40 years and remember this song too Love this song

Age of Quarrel is my favourite hardcore record without a doubt. Thanks for upping this vid!

Rip My brother. Bad ass song.

one of my freinds made me a tape of this back in the day....still great...

still great after all these years!!!!

When this album was played (I had the tape cassette back in the day), it was played from start to finish as loud as the speakers could handle. Best listened to with good friends and cold beers! NYHC and especially the 'Mags had a big influence on the direction of music from the classic metal heavy era (pre 1980s) into thrash metal era (late 1980s and early 1990s)! The Mags even toured with Megadeth and Motorhead! How cool would that show have been?! 🔥🎸🎼🤘

CRO MAGS, this guys are awesome

Cro-Mags are Old School Hardcore History !

One of the best Cro-Mags song!

That frontflip was fucking beautiful. That fucking form

i'm 19 and i wish i was young back then, because honestly music these days it's not the same... The energy, the spirit, it's all gone. I hate this age.

Oh god, I love this band!!!

The realy best of ALL^^ Cro-Mags with John^^ love it^^

Ya, I have been going on a download spree. All the old New York thrash scene of the 80's...great stuff!

saw them many times and boy do I miss seeing them play!!!!

If you look at 1:01 in , That guy to the right looks like Steve Harris from Iron Maiden. God, Kudos to whoever uploaded this. I have this video on a crappy VHS tape with videos from the OLD headbangers ball

My dad is in this this video stage diving, love this time capsule

One of the best vids of the 80ies.

My brother was in the Marines when he introduced me to this band

Yes ! Always

The best album ever made.

This is music. Anyone you see listening, give a wide path.

I’m 102 and still can make a backflip off the ground Cro-Mags still sounds cool as well Who’s also here from 2097?

Pretty awesome. I just wish I lived closer to NYC while this stuff was going down.

Yeah, einer der Besten Old school NY Hardcore Bands. Goil. Black Flag, Bad brains, Minor Threat, Agnostic Front,Circle Jerks sind so Ziemlich die Besten NY Hardcorebands aus den Anfängen des Hardcore. Ich kann nur sagen: Our way, your life, my scene, the definition?! HARDCORE!!!

The best HARDCORE band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song. Classic video

wouldve loved to have been the groupie they passed around 😍

Legendary video. Cheers

This album as a soundtrack to the Stallone movie "Cobra" is perfect

I still love age of quarrel!!"My favorite" hardcore album all time.

Best scene ever, period. PMA.

Bad brains started in d.c around 77' ,all the west coast punk bands came around 80',81.

Great video, back in days

This was one of the vids that pplayed in my VHS that was set to 'repeat' I forgot how much fun this shit was! Thanx for makin my night!

the video that changed my life for the better (or worse...depends on what cop you talk to)

Bloody brilliant!

gettin older I realize that this shit 's getting better every day. There was no band like cro mags and there never will be. It's not about musicianship (I play blues and jazz sometimes so I can compare) It's something else I can't describe...

It was Motorhead and The Cromags at Ruthies in Berkeley

I remember when this first came out, fucking amazing tune!

Good music never get old

Classic Hardcore Band, i watch from Mtv,old times,good times....

The best Hardcore Band EVER...

Greatest album!!!!!

Miss this!

Amazing!!

There once was a band........man, these guys were good.

sophisticated way that will show that they are being serious for what they do.

OLD SKOOL!!! YES I AM!
