Top 10 totally for sure!

THE greatest American punk band

No doubt

@@skinheadyouth66 they suck

He could also sing beautifully operatic stuff, not my thing but he's talented as hell

Agree d

Not really? Question Mark

Right he got them to play on SNL and it was the shortest band played in their history as well. The cast were deadheads too and the Grateful Dead played one more Saturday Night bring the longest band on snl history. Thank you Fear more beer!

...so he became their manager!

Only today realised Lee Ving played Mr Body in Clue. 🕵️

Lee Ving pure don't give a shittery about squat. It made them pure. The Record is a staple in a true punks vinyl collection. If you dont own this record. You're not worthy!

I care about you. C FOKKEN F FOKKEN H!

Mishigoss55 Obvious question - do you have tinnitus?

Ashley Pomeroy Ashley, I consciously am not aware of any hearing problems, certainly no tinnitus, as result of my days working in the music clubs over 30 years ago. (I worked for 2 years at the Whiskey A-Go Go after my stint at the Hong Kong cafe ended) I have never had my hearing tested by an audiologist as an adult, so it is quite possible that I have lost sensitivity in the low and high frequencies. However, given my age, 60, I would be starting to lose hearing at those frequencies anyhow due to the natural aging process, so it would be difficult to determine if any loss was accelerated by repeated exposure to loud music. I would definitely recommend to young people today to carry foam earplugs with them at all times when they attend music events, and to deploy them if they feel the decibel level is uncomfortably loud. From what I have heard, (no pun intended) tinnitus is a miserable condition to experience.

Mishigoss55 Love that your 60 and still jamming this. 1979 would have made you 25?

droor24 I was 24 in May 1979 when I graduated from art school 30 miles north of Los Angeles. I moved to Hollywood in August of that year and immediately got plugged into the local L.A. punk scene which was exploding with energy and excitement. The Hong Kong cafe opened in June 1979-it closed in January of 1981. A documentary film was recently made about the club, but I only found out after the project was completed. Too bad because they were asking for stories, photos etc, to serve as source material for the documentary, and as someone that worked there, I could have contributed to the effort. Oh well, I still cherish those memories. Fear is still together and performing, with frontman Lee Ving as the only original member-I think that he must be 65 by now. Kinda makes me look like a youngster by comparison.

I'm really glad you shared that story with me. It must have been alot of fun living in L.A at that time. Hardcore is a fun sound. I remember when I lived in Cairo, Egypt, about 13 years old, and no access to new music, so I resorted to what I could get my hands on which was tapes from my neighbour. He had casettes of Fear, Circle Jerks, Misfits, Bad Brains, TSOL. It was what I grew up on, even as a kid in the late 90's. If I was in USA, I would have listened to radio garbage, but I got lucky and learned about hardcore.

Well said

“We”

low blow man

My dad is a veteran and worked in the VA system and he can vouch that they care about cutting costs and not really about you.

Yes "not care about you" a Veteran

fuck veterans.

But sadly correct and it's getting even worse under Drumpf.

Bad Brains

Lee Ving in Streets of Fire & Flashdance, very talented. F you!

D.R.I. I just saw them last Friday

They were a right wing punk band from what I remember back in the day and still hated by some to this day. Lee used to wear a confederate flag on his jacket or something like that.

The dislikes are from mumblerap listening boogereaters

@alfredocarpaneto5976 Only Lee was somewhat right wing. Who cares anyway? There’s been far too many left wing bands in punk. Left wing is the safest thing to be nowadays.

I'll give you a dollar if you'll be my friend

oh piss off you twat

Darrin Connor Agreed!!!

@@homefront3162 01:09 - Spit is practically hitting himself in the head with his sticks.

Yes

Well, you obviously haven't heard The Damneds's New Rose.

Spit plays for NASALROD now. Great band.

Max Seuberlich GNR

I normally didn't like GNR but I did think they did a good cover of this song.

Fear recorded live kicks so much ass

Thanks man...this vid was a def a labor of love..43yrs myself and playing punk in Worm Suicide for almost 20 years..this is what we grew up on ....yea this is when it mattered..when it was real.

chorus

I turn 54 today and I still get a rush from this song. Pure energy, quick and to the point. Love it!

search maggot sandwich, and the love song entitled Maggie. I know you'd dig it the most.

What I always loved about FEAR was that no song was ever longer than it needed to be. Most if not all were to the point and over. And awesome.

Holy shit that is absolutely incredible... **goggle eyes**

So accurate for LA at that time. Nothing was boring and everything was dangerous.

12 years old? Decades old.

Thanks

He'd arson the white house & use the opportunity to enthusiastically tell everyone who thinks he should b prez to go f#ck themselves

It wasn't really meant to be a violent song. If you read the lyrics, he's talking about how society doesn't give a fuck about people, especially those in legitimate need. The "I" in this song is really society saying "I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU--FUCK YOU!" A lot of things have changed since 1982, but generally, Lee was right to call it out when he did.

I DID

lol
