This was so great to see, being a thrash metal kid of the 80's. Headbangers ball on MTV used to play this I would wait through all the LA hairspray garbage to see and hear somthin cool like this.
When pits were sacred, and punk/hardcore musicians don't care if they're in key you moron. See the unity in the crowd, that's what mattered now go spin your Journey you fag
@viktorhat I see, people like you are ones that I can actually understand other than the rest who are just like "you suck, faggot, blah blah blah". Thank you for understanding me, I understand what you mean.
@viktorhat I didn't say I "hate them" really. It's just I don't understand how so many people can like them so much, because I really don't see potential in this band. That is my opinion, and I honestly respect other peoples opinion about them. If they say they love them, and they are great, then I respect that. If they get to speak what they think about them, then i believe I should be able to also. I have nothing against you UNLESS you bash me with hate comment which everyone else does. :P
ahahahahaha "I piss on your cheeks as I shit on your name" or something lol that bit at the end made tears roll down my face x-D as for Shibbydidoodaabeast or whatever the fuck your called the whole point of punk and hardcore was a reaction against boring heavy metal bands that focused too much on longwinded extended solos and put no energy into their performances. It's people like you that turned me off metal, I have respect for the bands themselves but the fans are so closeminded....
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...
@ShibbiZeBeast808 shut the fuck up with grammar i can spell perfectly well, im not writing a job resume or a SAT test in college its the internet its called abbreviation u dumb fuck, and if u say that ANY genre of music is talentless that means YOU dont understand music. keep listening to ur emo pussy music till u die, but kno this cuz, ppl like u give real hardcore and metal a bad name, they automatically think its some pussy longhair music.
@Spitfire995 Good boy. you can spell. Emo music?? Fuck that lol. PROTEST THE HERO, VEIL OF MAYA, AUGUST BURNS RED, BORN OF OSIRIS, ERRA, ETILISTS, VOLUME. <--- These are techinical deathcore bands, Technical as in, Time signature changes, Complexs riffs, ect. TALENT. Not simple power chords over and over again. I' not saying that Everyone should listen to these bands, people should listen to what they want, and if you like this, then fine! i'm speaking my opinion, and that's what i think.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 Hardcore, by definition, is not supposed to be "talented" in the sense of playing their instruments perfectly or having an understanding of music theory. It's about aggression, power, and raw emotion. Deathcore is mainly a style of music that caters to "br00tal" kids with terrible breakdowns, changes that make little sense, and a thirst for popularity. It lacks feeling and assumes it can make up for it with technicality. Want real talent with complexity? Listen to Immolation.
@Spitfire995 And i respect your opinion ma'am/sir person. I love how you completely ignore the rest of my comments as if you don't have anything to say because you can't. Or maybe you just don't understand, that's all
@ShibbiZeBeast808 music comes in many variations. narrow minded-ness is when idiots cant accept that there is other music out there. i hate the scene music and all that screamo shit but i accept that that kind of music exists, even tho i dont like it.
@MiGrandeCazzo Know nothing about? LOL i'm an artist, i play guitar, I breakdance. Those are all forms of art, EMOTION, PASSION. I sense no passion into this, if they did mean something, they would put it into a certain way where people can feel, and know what they are trying to portray. You think you know passion? A passion to strum inaudible power chords and play a solo thats barely in key. Oh yeah, big message. I know that art is expressing yourself, but at least put it in a more
@PartyBoy64 I listen to about any genre of music except for thrash. Because musicality wise, there is nothing there. You don't think that other bands don't take time to make there music to please their fans? Just because i listen to linkin park doesn't mean that i'm "scene" Scene/ Screamo is fag music. Technical metal/ Post hardcore bands take more than enough time to "create and play music for their fans" I could make a cromags song in 5 MINUTES. You make me blush :D
@ShibbiZeBeast808 Jesus christ you hold your head up so fucking high. You need to cope with your ego problems. No one ever said other bands dont take the time to make music for their fans. You're downing a great band only for the fact and reason that you don't like the band or genre at all. I mean its mere opinion on your part whatever you say about a band. No one cares if you're an artist, you play guitar, or breakdance. Don't flaunt that shit around here. Get that crown off your head. Grow up.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 Why do you listen to a bunch of queers like Linkin Park? Same fuckin arguement. You just seem that like that one asshole tht disagrees with everyone just to spite them or seem special or whatever the fuck. Take your fucking hipster views out of metal vids. You're probably that fuckin piece of shit that goes to high school with a guitar and plays fucking chords and thinks he's real fuckin deep.
@TheMysticMushrooms Chords? WOW. Just because I listen to Linkin Park doesn't mean I'm an all power chords guy. I have a diverse selection of music that I listen to. But, does that mean I play it? No. I play technical death metal/core. THAT has barely any chords, minus the syncopated breakdowns. Do you see any hipsters doing that? No, because they don't have the time to dedicate themselves to going their full potential. They follow the hype.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 All these fucking "core" genres are pretty much just the metal world's answer to hipsters. I called you a hipster cause of your views on this band in particular. Do you know what the definition of "EMOTION" as you call it is? EMOTION is not limited to crying in a corner or makin some funky ass arpeggio like riff. I'm using just using examples By The WaY.
@TheMysticMushrooms I honestly don't care on what music people like since I listen to what I like to. But seriously, how can you judge my skills by off of what I listen to? I'll have respect for your music, just don't be bashing me with this "hipster chord playing high school student" shit. I take what I do seriously.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 Shut the fuck up with your stupid smart ass reply. Anyone that has to say U MAD BRO when someone calls them something should just fuck themselves because they can't think of anything intelligent to say. You should seriously just get off your fucking high horse. The heaviest riffs are usally pretty simple. Half of the riffs ever made in metal are just fucking power chords. Like 15% of main riffs are actually hard to play and complex isn't exactly heavy, moron.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 watch "American Hardcore"...............the movie explains what the whole Hardcore movement as about in the 80's and how it has evolved to what hardcore is today.
@Milnuts75 Some notes are in the key that it is played in, most are not. So technically, if you think about it, it is barely in key compared to the studio version where it is in key.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 I thought it was Steve Vai. Just yanking your crank. You are free to dislike whomever you wish. These high energy bands are super fun live, especially at venues with a liquor license.
@ShibbiZeBeast808 The way I see it is raw emotion that is supposed to be fast agressive and energetic. It doesnt take much talent to play guitar wise, but thats not the point. The point of hardcore/trashy styles of music is for tons of kids to come together at shows and let go of all there problems and go crazy, and the lyrics and message wouldnt fit into really any other style of music, it just all fits. Im not saying it takes tons of talent for the guitarist but it can still be loved.
@SuperTeenSpaz I see, I see. Well, respectfully love what you guys love haha, I don't mean to bash on anyone, just speaking my opinion! :P I probably just don't understand this, that's all
The Mags will rip any so called Thrash or Hardcore band today a new asshole any day of the week! It was cool to see a Mags sticker in the Bowery tonight in NYC!
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.
@rp3rdyankees Yes I agree. The amount of good Karma this chap sends out is unbelievable. Saw JJ in Milton Keynes 2006, there were maybe 20 people there but he still put on an amazing show. Increase the peace.
How come people call this "hardcore"? They sound more like thrash metal, reminds me of (old) Metallica or Megadeth rather than say, Black Flag or Minor Threat, and if you see the kids on the video opening, they more like mini versions of Dave Mustaine ;P
I always loved it at 0:51! Harley looks so mean and cool there! I think I was afraid of him here back in 86' when this video launched on Headbangers Ball.
is this guy for real thats not hardcore its punk/ metal sick of it all AF bad brains cro mags leeway thats hardcore get a clue fucking orange county LOL you need to come to NYC and see a real hardcore show or go watch sick of it alls vid for step down and see what dancings is about gay ass cali kids make me laugh
@inyourfacedouchebag I agree man! Agnostic Front is good too! John Joseph mentions the Bad Brains were a huge influence on his younger years and there music inspired him to create the Mags back in the early 80's!
orange county rules man , NYHC is cool but dont get any closer to old school californian hardcore i am talking about : black flag , circle jerks , TSOL, middle class, suicidal tendencies , dead kennedys , angry samoans AND MORE . CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES LOL .
i am almost 40 and can not believe the bad ass music we grew up with/ skated to, and got very riled up about. I don't think there has been anyone that can compare to the energy of the scenes that loved "our" bands.
Suicidal Tendencies (just by their name) used to get me in trouble. Think about when someone said "cro mags"? "what the hell kinda band name is that"?
Yeah well I still don't know... whats Def leppard? or even blue oyster cult? I am going to got eat some sardines right now..
@jfk1971 Cro Mags is short for Cromagnon man. Caveman. Well that's what I think anyway. As for Def Leppard, I think I heard or read that they just wanted a cool name and it means a deaf leopard. Don't ask me about Blue Oyster Cult though. Maybe it means cold vagina worshippers.
@trollingdouche Bro! Leppard is a great band but you can't compare them because the MAGS and Def Leppard are two totally different genres of music. The MAGS are one of the "founding Fathers" of all Hardcore!
@jfk1971 I'm right there with you man. I'll be 39 this year. We used to blast this in the truck headed out to whatever place we felt like skating that day. Cro Mags, Agnostic Front, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Crumbsuckers... Man, I'm so glad I kept all those TAPES. Yes you youngin's us old people listened to tapes back in the dark ages.
@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?
maybe people like the demo so much, is because it was mastered at three r.p.m.'s faster then it should have been.. Paris's studio was not set up to master at that speed. There for it was mastered like if Micky Mouse was recording.....lol.
myybe people like the demo so much, is because it was mastered at three r.p.m.'s faster it should have. Paris's Farthers studio was not set up to master at that speed. There for it was mastered like if Micky Mouse was recording.....lol.
Everyone who loves the Mags should purchase: The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon! It's a great read and you learn alot about John Joseph and his struggles. You get to learn about John as a person and not just a dude who is screaming how tough he is when he is singing. Rest assured John is still tough though!
RP3RDYANKEES IM 37 ALSO and i rememeber recording cromags from wsou. here in nyc. a lot of older guys ask me how do u know so much is in the 80;s u were so young. i tell them "bro i may not have been 20 something back in 86 but i was `13 going on `14 and knew my shit , what u expect a retard teen cmon man. i was skating, bmxing wearing vision street wear. yo yankees u my bro man, we go back did u paint trains as wel i know i did and i was 13 fucking 1986 was an awesome year.
@bigben1986 Yup! The late 80's were good times! I owned about 12 to 15 skate boards in those days. I had a G&S Neil Blender, Vision Gator, Zorlac Metallica board, Santa Cruz Rob Rascop, Powell and Peralta Ratt Bones, Nautus Compas and several others. I was into Freestyle and BMX too. I still have my white with Nean Green 87' Haro Master in my garage and it's actually in decent shape. Also had a purple GT Pro Performer and an blue Schwinn Predator. My buddy still has a Hutch Trick Star!
damn... this stuff brings back a lot of memories. every time I hear this song, it give me goosebumps. being that I am 41, I was right in the age group to enjoy this music when it was out there. it's sad that there isn't any real hardcore scene left in nyc or anywhere else, for that matter. this was great, angry, authentic music, unlike the garbage that's out there today. cro-mags and agnostic front... two killer bands who made some great music that will live on forever.
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.
Weird... I was in NYC with a buddy on Halloween night '88 and we hung with Doug Holland.. The fucker went a bought crack from a hole in the wall and smoked it in the back of my car. Totally fuctup night,
Anybody know who the big dude at 0:02 and 0:59 is?

How come people call this "hardcore"? They sound more like thrash metal, reminds me of (old) Metallica or Megadeth rather than say, Black Flag or Minor Threat, and if you see the kids on the video opening, they more like mini versions of Dave Mustaine ;P

i am almost 40 and can not believe the bad ass music we grew up with/ skated to, and got very riled up about. I don't think there has been anyone that can compare to the energy of the scenes that loved "our" bands.
Suicidal Tendencies (just by their name) used to get me in trouble. Think about when someone said "cro mags"? "what the hell kinda band name is that"?
Yeah well I still don't know... whats Def leppard? or even blue oyster cult? I am going to got eat some sardines right now..

@jfk1971 Cro Mags is short for Cromagnon man. Caveman. Well that's what I think anyway. As for Def Leppard, I think I heard or read that they just wanted a cool name and it means a deaf leopard. Don't ask me about Blue Oyster Cult though. Maybe it means cold vagina worshippers.

maybe people like the demo so much, is because it was mastered at three r.p.m.'s faster then it should have been.. Paris's studio was not set up to master at that speed. There for it was mastered like if Micky Mouse was recording.....lol.

Everyone who loves the Mags should purchase: The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon! It's a great read and you learn alot about John Joseph and his struggles. You get to learn about John as a person and not just a dude who is screaming how tough he is when he is singing. Rest assured John is still tough though!

When this video ends, there's some words about Jesus and faith that are B.S., and have nothing to do with what the Cro-Mags were about.

@bigben1986 Yup! The late 80's were good times! I owned about 12 to 15 skate boards in those days. I had a G&S Neil Blender, Vision Gator, Zorlac Metallica board, Santa Cruz Rob Rascop, Powell and Peralta Ratt Bones, Nautus Compas and several others. I was into Freestyle and BMX too. I still have my white with Nean Green 87' Haro Master in my garage and it's actually in decent shape. Also had a purple GT Pro Performer and an blue Schwinn Predator.

damn... this stuff brings back a lot of memories. every time I hear this song, it give me goosebumps. being that I am 41, I was right in the age group to enjoy this music when it was out there. it's sad that there isn't any real hardcore scene left in nyc or anywhere else, for that matter. this was great, angry, authentic music, unlike the garbage that's out there today. cro-mags and agnostic front... two killer bands who made some great music that will live on forever.

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.
