These old videos bring back so many memories! Very fortunate have seen them live in this tour.

Billy Zoom is a Gretsch Jedi. He makes everything look and sound effortless while broadly smiling.

Billy Zoom makes me smile .

One of the bst bands of the late '70's -80's . . smart, clever, witty, and talented as hell. Of course they were ignored by the corporate music industry.

"X" was a revelation, still sounds up to date&fresh, such chemistry!!! "X" 4ever!!! Grtz J. 🐈‍⬛....🇧🇪

Great song off my favorite album of all time. Devil Doll, Painting the Town Blue, etc. the entire album holds up really well and rocks. They're still touring and playing great live shows. Go support them and have a great time

I just love this song. It was Ron Reagan's world when I first heard it. Thanks, GrrlBandGeek!

Exene looking great. Love this band with everything I got.

This song just flows and is the spirit of our still great country

Fanks for posting this. Reminds me of LA in 83, I was living in a van in Venice. Anyone remember the masque in 79? The squatted apartments in The Hollywood Towers, me getting deported for nicking donuts? The Germs, The Cramps, X, great times!

Thanks Billy Zoom for conveying a sheer Joy witch had the extraordinary power to overtake you, also this guitar rif always felt like it had been created at the dawn of time, as it had a strangely familiar and haunting quality for me the first time I heard it right after it came out. Bless you guys (X) always! Love from Denver!

Billy Zoom. Freakin wow. Still looks this good at 70. Unbelievable. Having a bad day? Watch an X video and Billy Zoom and the joy he exudes on stage.

"New World" is just a damn great album!!!

Happy to have been the one thousandth like on this song

soundtrackers of my life , saw them , met them , love them .

"It was better before they voted for what's his name."

We asked Exene to name the most prescient X song. She picked this one.

As relevant today as it was in 1983. #genius

I like how he stands there and smiles.

Just heard Richard Blade play this on First Wave and had to hear it again. I think the last time I had heard it was 1982. Did we not grow up at the bestest best best time in all of human history -- musically speaking? I lived for the times in between and outside of classes when I could turn on KROQ (or 91X, sometimes KLOS or KNAC) and hear what they had on.

When I got introduced to X, it was like, finally Some REALLY GREAT ALTERNATIVE TOTALLY SUPER DIFFERENT ORIGINAL MUSIC

This is my favorite Election Day song.

Nearly 40 years later, still relevant.

Don’t forget the Motor City: Detroit, one of the places most impacted by the stupid and draconian policies of our treasonous government, is in dire straits. I saw a documentary recently about the city’s fire department; half the stations closed, obsolescent and broken equipment, no raises in years. These brave men and women continue to protect Detroit despite impossible obstacles. They are a tribute to their city and their country. I remember when I was young, my father purchased a new Ford LTD and we picked it up at the famous River Rouge plant in Detroit. It was 1967, and we got a tour of the famous facility in Dearborn to watch our car be built. “The Rouge” as it’s known was the largest manufacturing facility in the world for many decades. The main plant was torn down 2008, it took four years to do so. Oh, and great video btw. I saw X many times back in the late seventies before Manzerek and keyboards slowed them down.

Thanks for uploading this! A couple of years ago I had a big hankering to see this video and I was distressed to find that it didn't seem to be online anywhere.

One of the best bands ever to come out of the US !

saw them do this live at the palace in hollywood. it was so great!

Love 98% of the comments that people wrote for this video here! Lotta love here for the grrrreat band -X-. The unknown quanity!!!.

Just great music that will live forever

Yes! I haven't seen this in forever! One of my faves and still relevant.

Wow, only heard the album, its so cool to see them play it.

Perfect video for July 4th.

Man look how young Billy was. What a badass.

Drums recorded in Cherokee Studio 1. O-dubs and Mix in Studio 3. Still sounds good.

thank you fantastic

Been play'n this off the hook recently,...don't forget the motor city convoys! It's also soposs te be the free world?

Thank You 🙂

I am fifty-five. I am an.... Well, it rhymes with 'cold duck.' I haven't been to concert since I turned forty; I don't want to be the pathetic middle-aged guy trying to party with the young'uns. But X is playing in a few days at the Neptune here in Seattle, which is right down the street from my apartment. Sorry boys and girls, but this Saturday night you're partying with Grandpa.

It's fuckin criminal that these guys didn't make bank. So much better than any band making it today. period.

been in love with Exene since aged 10...and i was a Germs guy, lol...Beautiful! Still a Germs guy...and Neocrust, lol...Goth as it gets...Legit Sovietwave....for non Numbskulls! LOL...i am an ol man...dig it or don't...beautiful SHYTE! LA punk IS IMPORTANT!

with jim carroll headlining by the way! ;)

I cant believe I've never scene this video,,,, i just voted 6/5/18 and wanted to send my daughter the audio. VIDEO may be dated but lyrics as true now as then. Genius lasts.

All that i need are the necessitates and more !

l love this song

Thankyou for posting this. It is greatly appreciated. X's first 6 albums now available in the tried and true digital format! Check out amazon.com, emusic.com, or hell, I don't care, iTunes for all your X musical needs. I love these guys. Great video from their last great album.

OH WoW!

bucky468 "This was when MTV was really worth the while" . .. Oh bullshit! MTV hardly, in fact, ever played X at all. THEY were to busy playing Michael Jackson, Madona, Duran Duran, Sting, Huey Lewis, Phill Collins, Def Leopard, Kenny Logins and the sort to give THIS group much notice at the time. You obviously don't truly remember MTV from about this time period, .. . it truthfully pretty much sucked.

It was better than when we voted for what's his name.

X was never a Hardcore punk band; they were a Punk band and that is something completely different.

sexiest look I've ever seen from Exene

This suppose to be the new world.....

Ouch.

Still rules :}

As good a song now as it was then.

Here we are again ... Election Day 2020.

Mark Twain - 'If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.'

Everybody get out and throw your vote away!!

Billy gives zero fucks.

why doesn't anyone have hd versions of their shit it's so fucking annoying. they deserve fucking HD video - who knows why they don't release it themselves. Probably because they were on bullshit Elektra owned by bullshit WB who hold everyone's art hostage.

lol wut

this band is so bad_ss..
