Ambrose Martinez I thought the song was dope when I saw this vid yrs ago, and that exact part made me fall in love with Tomata du Plenty.

Or when your a diy band some girl calls you a poser and all I have to do push play to cut them off

@Pete Testube fair enough, baby.

They rock man! I'm waiting for more of their stuff to come in the mail. I'll put it up here when I get it!

Hey Danielle, I have the rest of it sitting on my computer. I'll try and upload it today! Was having some troubles before. EDIT: They're totally up now, enjoy!

Lol? Morrissey is a like a walking/singing cadaver next to Tomata.. there's no comparison wtf?

???

don't know about morrissey, but Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys got his act from Tomata. Tomata was basically the first hardcore punk frontman

@@thefool3732 yea check out Vertigo and watch some dead kennedy footage from the 80s total copy

@@jah4204 I know. Jello was a giant screamers fan. there is footage on youtube of him attending a screamers concert and jumping on stage to help tomata with mic problems, but the band doesn't really understand what he is doing and chase him off stage. edit: though it should also be added that 1. Biafra and du Plenty come from a similiar backround of acting/performance art, Tomata specificcally having a history in drag performance and Jello afaik having some backround in acting 2. it's not like Tomata is the sole innovator of incorporating performance art and elements of stage-acting into musical performance. Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, countless other less influential punk frontman, Alan Vega of Suicide, even Freddy Mercury to an extend etc. all have done very similar things well before tomata and it would be reasonable to assume that he saw at least some of them live and got inspired by that, especially considering that he was in new york during the early phase of that punk scene. I don't know if there are any sources for that out there, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Screamers were mainly influenced by Suicide, especially the more traditionally punk sounding early stuff like Ghost Rider.

Electric piano

The Gamer Punk bet he felt dumb when they went on

Par for the course when bands would come in from out of town. I bet whoever yelled that changed his tune pretty quickly by the time this song ended.

Terlalu mendalami setiap lirik 😂

I'm here in 1918. Just in time for the Spanish flu

Yes.

*YOU BETTER SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!*

He himself admits The Screamers were a massive influence on him.

Yeah, I’ve only ever read/heard Biafra speak of Tomata & The Screamers in near-reverential terms. I’m sure would’ve fallen all over himself to put out a Screamers record on Alternative Tentacles if he’d had a chance.

Jello was a true original, with a much deeper lyrical gift, and a much better vocal delivery. The DKs were untouchable: every album they did was brilliant

Nah. Jello has never been shy about admitting how much he was inspired by the Screamers and especially Tomata.

Tomato set the stage for punk

Eh not quite.... the West Coast had a distinct sound but there's lots of early stuff that was extremely influential on hardcore and now sounds quite similar to what we call hardcore. Bad brains always said the first hardcore song was Screamin Fist by the viletones who were a classic Toronto punk band. There's Out of Vogue - The Middle class, Raggare/Stranglers by the Rude Kids(early swedish punk that is definitely hardcore) their album safe society from early 1979 is a good one for first hardcore LP, the first Belgian punk record is by a band called Chainsaw and they sound like LA Hardcore. X Pulsions song Castration is definitely early hardcore from 77, there was the swedish 7" called Krossa by the end, LA from 77 crime and punishment by the Desmonds, The NO EXIT live Lp from Vancouver BC is a classic early hardcore LP, Hubble Bubble had some hardcore songs like Pogo Pogo, the buzzcocks had you tear me up which was a huge influence on discharge. Japan had the band SS who were classic, hardcore didn't just appear on 1980 tons of bands were already working on those sounds. The screamers definitely contributed though. Oh the urinals also had some hardcore stuff... this is just off the top of my head.. Oh also I couldn't forget the Hitler SS/Tampax Split with Slave being a classic early hardcore punk song.

I agree 100% with everything you are saying, My comment was not meant to be 100% serious. Good synopsis BTW! @@johndoeiii6103

wrong. they are a hardcore band. if you think rock nedds to have guitars, then you're wrong. synthpunk/electropunk is still a subgenre of punk rock.

Who sez punk needed guitar, the idea behind punk was to break away from the norm no matter what it took just to get your music out there. Guitar? I'll bet you listen to Zep.

@@billyodamit8062 right? The Screamers and Suicide are in my opinion two of the most punk bands precisely because they lack the traditional rock instumentation. tho with the screamers the synthesizers sound very close to guitars sometimes. Mindless Self Indulgence would be an example of a more modern band that does similar things.

this is one of the stupidest comments i've ever read

The keys on this song sound as hard as any guitar in punk at that point in time did.
