Eric A.K is a criminally underrated vocalist.

one of the best metal vocalists Ever!!!

Erik A.K. one the most technically singers in Metal!

First heard this song in my truck while driving through the Mojave Desert in April 1995. I was 42 years old. I turned 71 in January.

From a great album. Played it over and over when it came out. 21 years ago? No way!

I am a high school math teacher. During Covid, I play tunes before classes start and I have themes for each day. This is playing before my classes on "Thrashing Thursdays."

This is one of the best kiss off songs EVER made!! Gave a copy of this to my ex husband the day our divorce was final!! The look on his face was absolutely priceless listening to it!!

I don't understand why this band isn't bigger than what they are? I never see their name on any festivals which they should be playing,they're such a great very underrated band!!

This song is just phenomenal. I'm a high energy music junkie and this song is definitely in my top five. You are totally right he's an underrated vocalists for sure and they are probably the most underrated metal band. This entire album was so good with so many memorable lines.

a fucking awesome song.

One of the best Flotsam and Jetsam tracks ever. Totally Awesome.

superb sound, great production. bass guitar kills. dance rhythm with kick ass riff this was my favorite thrashspeed metal band and still it is

Just saw them last month 2 nights in a row, and they still sound amazing af. Like...unreal good. Got to chill with Eric for a bit and chat. Great guys that never got the love they deserved.

"Smoked Out" I come to you for guidance I come to you for help You just see a bright idea To benefit yourself You know that there's no risk Nothing you should dread On to your deception This view of wool delights my head Finally I realize what you're all about Time to pull out all the stops Don't make me spell it on All I know is what I'd do If I was in your shoes Nothing close to what you've done Nothing close to what you do Tell me that I'm failing Hold me under thumb Pay off my emotions made Blind deaf dumb Another hole in the bucket Where it's wet you're gonna slide Can't walk down the middle without Slipping off the side Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore I come to your for guidance I come to call a truce You take the rope I climb and tie at in a noose Ask my permission To ask my permission Don't even take a breath unless I know Tell me that I'm failing Hold me under thumb Pay off my emotions made Blind deaf dumb You will make it up to me You will make amends Will will not be family And we can not be friends Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore Smoked out peeled back unearthed The real you washes ashore Smoked out

I got to work with Flotsam a few years ago and I can confidently say that they're the real deal. No tracks live, all live, raw, and in the flesh Their show that night was flawless. Eric's voice didn't crack, blow out, or anything. Absolute control and brilliant performance

Kelly Smith is my favorite drummer!

Saw them last night , absolutely smashed it !!!

Dreams can come true if you want them to. I will headbang, how can one not when you listen to true metal? One day my head will fall off...

They killed this concert tour in Phoenix back in the day. Sounded so tight. Exhilarating concert. Then agai , all 4 times I saw them in the 80's/90's they were amazing 🤘🌵

Eric A.K. is the best singer from all the 80's thrash bands. Saw Flotsam supporting ''Drift'' in '95 opening for Megadeth and Korn??????

These guys were as good as the other bands that most of us knew in the 90's, too bad few heard them.

I had 18 years birthday when it‘s come out now I am 41 and still listen..

Geez I always come back to this song. Erik's vocals , the intensity 🤘

Nailed it.

FLOTS TILL DEATH. YOU GO FLOTSAM AND JETSAM YOUR UNDERRATED BUT STILL AN INCREDIBLE BAND MUCH RESPECT😈😈😈😈😈😈NOW LAVENDER KUSH AND PURPLE URKEL SMOKED OUT TIME🚬🚬🔥🔥

By far my favorite Flotsam & Jetsam album I love the vocals.

Jason Ward was incredibly underrated as a bassist. I think he was the first one they got after Newsted left that seemed on the same page as the rest of the band.

I remember Flotsam and Jetsom from SunnySlope and Norm Saa from Mesa!

THAT RIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Flots! Used to skip school and go watch them play house parties in Phx on weekends or watch them @ The Mason Jar. Great guys and some really talented ones at that. They never really got the recognition they deserved!

can't get this song out of my head

The most underrated Metal band ever.

Loved this album and first time seeing the video. Great record; so many memories.

legendary bass.

Znam Flotsam od końca lat 80 - ma swój kącik w moim sercu ;0) - (polish)

Powerful song.

saw them at galaxy in santa ana cpl years ago - wow... these guys bring it every time!! long live flots!!

Always have and always will love this one.

2017 still kick like mule :D Cheers and Happy New Year

They killed it in Dallas with this tune!

Im thinking Flotsam and Jetsam will be receiving more fans due to lead singers son Creighton being in the top 10 on American Idol.

One of my favorite Flots songs.But the new album fucking kills!!!

Don't know where YOU ARE, but here in America, you can THINK whatever you want!

Flotsam and Jetsam fucking rule

drift, one of the best albums in 95! … Drift (Flotsam and jetsam), Symbolic (Death), Black Faith (Cancer)

when I seen the vid had to get it and I was ready for a mosh pit

These guys kick ass!! Always have, always will!

Группа неплохая,но им неповезло,в плане коммерческого прорыва. 😊🇺🇸🤟

Proper!

Pure clean and badass!!

I know music will always keep evolving but why can't there be one band bringing this vibe back?

you have my envy...I`m in Minnesota so I would have to travel to see them..

One of the all time greatest tunes ever. Someone fucked with this dude and he smoked em out and shut em down.

upcoming show in Flagstaff, AZ BE THERE!!!

19 individuals have been Smoked Out

Please come to Brazil !!!

Love this band!

luv this shit...bets it was great to hear them live

Greetings from chile.. /,,/,

💀FLOTSAM & JETSAM💀 HEAVYTHRASHMETAL

great album

Killer Power Hard Rock! Should be rereleased.

1995

fing tight!!!! JAM THIS SHIT DOING 130 GOING DOWN THE INSTERSTAE

I was smoked out when i posted my last one, lol

Flotsam goes grunge on Geffen Records. Same label as Nirvana.

WARD RULES!!!!!

I don't know about centuries, their first 3 albums are damn heavy just decades old! lol

Looks like their major label spent more money filming professional videoclips than actually promoting them, like pushing them on MTV or getting them support slots with huge bands.

@8quart Flotsam is coming back from Europe on May 1 in Anahem at the Galaxy, another small bar with a big sound, you should get down here any way you can. It will be a quest for metal.

Great Metal song, wish they made another song half as good this though

Ask my permision to ask my permision

my favorite band...they are done recording their new one...waiting for a label I guess so they can release it..and yes...I don`t understand how shit works,all their albums are great,they just put out good music,you would think they would be more well known.....maybe it`s because they don`t wear funny clothes,or make-up....

❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️🤘

If the real you washes ashore, would that be considered flotsam or jetsam?

Yep, No smokin here! Look it up. He is on this years Idol. His name is Creighton Fraker.

aaaaH!!! old school out this bitch

My hubs got me into y'alls band. Much

They are headlining Warriors Of Metal VI in two weeks.

💣

🤟😎💥🌟

This video is when F&J should've been popular. 1995 - 1998 was when alternative went pussy. So much so that I went underground looking for good bands. I discovered bands like COC and F&J in 1997 and had no idea they had music videos out at the time.

Fuckin best album these guys kicked out!!

The public at that point was ready to accept songs with no guitar solos and brooding characters as the singers. Back in 1999 I thought Disturbed was a good band cause they were bringing back good shit. Little did I know that there were legendary bands out there making great albums (like Dream Theater - Metropolis part 2). Here we are in 2012 with bands like Nickelback on the radio, and F&J has never got the credit they deserved in 27 years of work. That - my friends, is ridiculous.

Fatal ... futuro 2028 .. destrucción ... Billy , Kimberly ,Kevin y Piero Sifuentes ...yeaht.

i seen flotsam last night with testament but overkill wasn't there

This is about the heavens gate cult leader.

this 43 year old fan thinks this tune is a f#cking rocket....totaly in motion,fast,hard and heavy.. F&J are a great band......

que tema tan hpmente bueno

Thats me at 3:13!!!! I was 9 at the time!

Another classic band that the US decided to pass on. This band rules.

great song, they just left out " pack up all your shit and get the f*ck out! "

🤘❤❤❤❤🤘

@surgeonofdemise Not anymore, have you listened to The Cold? Easily their heaviest album in centuries!

What's with the PG version? Pack up all your shit and get the fuck out, is the climax

I the irony of The song titla Smoekd out, and Rhianna has a cig..... WTG vivo once again...

fuckin metal. you can't make this rock like you can with metallica, nor can you make megadeth or even moreso exodus rock. it's fuckin metal, and it's gunna stay fuckin heavy
