The Virus - Rats In The City

[HomelessGuyInLife]

It's great to walk down the street wearing a Virus shirt and people going, "Oh neat, i use to listen to them when i was in Highschool ect"

[MrPastorbishop]

fuck all of you I know Paul from The Virus he gave me a place to live when I was homeless and a job

[TheGuinnessboys]

unity? you fuckers are preaching one sidedness.

[MrDarp44]

@sacredjimi tea party? Socialism can work but not next to communism

[shatterproof89]

i know me and my buddies never fucking butted heads on most of this bullshit that most of these people are, because we we're a fucking family. that's how i remember defining punk as because thats how me and my buddies were.

[ShootMeInTheHead13]

i thought they were talking about actual rats

[declineofcivlization]

@ShootMeInTheHead13 maybe?

[papason4041]

[PaulMFliebler]

Communism/Socialism and Nationalism is awesome when you like anal.

How about the Barter System and some Capitalism Utopias with RFID chips in everyone's head? YA!! AWESOME. wait we are getting all of this ....

[thetasteofpain]

@PaulMFliebler your fuckin right man

[PaulMFliebler]

@thetasteofpain

And people say I'm crazy at least one person sees the big picture. thx brother and stay outta the mans sight till we can unite and take shit back from blind republican hate mongers.

[V4RP]

I think it's funny, actually, that I come here and see the "Fuck Nazi Punks" comments. Last time I saw The Virus, an old friend of mine, Brian, grabbed a mic and screamed "FUCK THE NAZIS!" Jasper (the singer after Mike Virus and Paul) actually stopped everything to take a moment to talk about how redundant it was, and said "my grandmother hates Nazis, too, but she doesn't go to church on Sunday saying 'fuck the nazis' to everyone that walks by."

[OuTBreaKOfEviL2]

@V4RP nice comment.. i hate people who post dumb shit like that. its fuckin stupid

[Gizzard1200]

Mike Virus is brilliant : )

[jawallace1991]

Good god can I go onto one punk video without seeing "Fuck nazi punks"? Ok, I get it, nazi's suck, I agree, but what the fuck does it have to do with this song? Where are the nazi punks anyways? Those days are gone, they're a dead breed. For the love of god can we move on and focus on what punks really about now?

[declineofcivlization]

@jawallace1991 nazis are the rats also.

[MrBaldy73]

Just discovered these boys... MINT! ..Bit like early Defiance

[obsidiandeatheater]

FUCK YOU, YOU INTOLERABLE FUCKS! IF YOU HATE DUE TO SKIN COLOR, YOU ARE A FUCKING POSER!

[punkrocker555142]

Nazi's are fucking gay!

[luvmoi11]

i am doing theis song for my concert coir

[katelovesyou666]

the virus was one of the first shows i went to. Totally blew me away. 10 years later, I may have "grown up" and become a mother and calmed down, but true punk will always hold a place in my heart. I can't wait to take my little girl to her first punk show.

[lukatme2]

@katelovesyou666 I am the same way. I am now 41, have three kids, respectable job and all that, but I still love punk. I take my boys to shows all the time. We just recenty went to see Subhumans. Before that it was bar religion and Bouncing Souls. It's great to see all the kids out there having fun

[roxxieXvenom]

[blazelmtdedtn]

@Zornuzkull then going on youtube to tell everyone how punk you are?

[guaxebas]

fuck nazi

Nazi gang shit

[MyJohnsonable]

OK, here's the straight shoot, no trick, now wikipedia.

Real punk rock, as defined by me, is eating your own poop and truly enjoying it.

That's it. Unless you can do this, you are not punk rock, faggots.

[LiquidMetal310]

green day is gayyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Oi Oi Oi!!!!

[latinohc]

SAY WHEREVER U WANT THIS SONG ITS FUCKING AWESOME

[458237]

fuck! jus listen to the damn song........shit!!

[xXxJustHarHarxXx]

Mike Virus = sexiness.

[bwmorrow]

Mike virus isn't in the virus at this time genious

[h1allann]

@xXxJustHarHarxXx i met him at a show (:

[DCbound138]

@ dirtytommyteabag: You speak of being ignorant of American underground music history, yet you are the dumb motherfucker. You obviously don't know what the fuck you are talking about.... Refering the term "Punk" to prison-inmates is a comparison that my fucking grandmother said to me when I was 12.

[zakzero123]

i love punk.

its my fucking life.

i just hate dumbasses like alot of these fucks thats been commenting on here.

but thanks for posting this anyways.

[dirtytommyteabag]

the original meaning of "punk" was a guy in prison that sucks dick for cigarettes. its not "rebelling against the mainstream" or "choosing to be unique"... if you think like that you're either a 13 year old boy that hates his parents or you're just ignorant of american underground music history.

[Matador11990]

@dirtytommyteabag true. punk was never meant to be cool till it became cool to be uncool

[Rakaizombie]

I hear that! Punk is a fucking NAME and nothing more! Any band/person can be punk no matter how they look! it's all about doing what YOU want to do and rebelling against the majority!

[bobisyour]

is that not the same for being a goth or metalhead then? im j.w

[REAPERR831]

@bobisyour well original goths were punks, they just were very dark about anything, metalheads im not so sure

[ineedausername333]

@REAPERR831 You just made that up. You must be 17 or younger

[REAPERR831]

@ineedausername333 no dude. there are some key differences. but the true goths were anarchists. the hunger for freedom and will to fight for it makes you a punk. not the way one dresses. but they also just wanted the world to end already :P

[xojennxo531]

i agree, look at present-day Discharge. do u support Green Day?

[kurtcobainstheshit]

Finally someone else who just realizes its only a fucking name punk that doesn't mean shit its all in spirit not the fucking name.

[streettitanz]

Quit arguing over stupid bullshit the great thing about punk is we are united by what makes us different and are allowed to experiment with other styles as far as the casualties they were good in their early years now they've basically become blink 182.

[bobisyour]

realy hows that?

[GOp0g077]

All of you are a bunch of whiney babies.

Why don't you fight for a change not against eachother.

[GUSPINSKEY12345]

37RainDrops fuck u gay fagit i hope your a girl cuz girls talk like that (Oh, one more thing)fucking fag

[seth77ification]

i like the older casualties stuff cuz it still sounded like punk but their new stuff is to mainstreem

[CompleteCntrl14]

@seth77ification what about the casualties is "mainstream"? haha as long as jorge is the lead singer then they will never make it in the "mainstream"

[fiko000006]

rats in the city,rats in the city \m/

[37RainDrops]

I find it funny how most people that claim to be punk dont know a damn thing about bands like Discharge, Fear, Rudimentary Peni, Amebix... Makes me wanna puke when I see kids walking around with their mohawks reppin The Casualties shit...

[9KILLthePOOR9]

@37RainDrops

hey man don't diss the casualties cause they play some fuckin sweet ass shit. but seriously dude there's more than just your kind of punk, people don't have to like or listen to amebix, rudimentary, or fear to be punk, i don't listen to that stuff but that don't make me unpunk it just means i have different taste of punk like the virus, havoc, career soldiers and shit , its all punk no better or worse just opinion

[37RainDrops]

The Casualties suck.

[lcch3rp3s]

@37RainDrops the casualties do suck, but punk is about individuality and the right to be and do what you want to be than anything else, so telling people that they have to listen to the same bands you do, and dress the way you do, and act the way you do, and think the way you do is very, very hypocritical and wrong, all it does is make you the same kind of fascist you claim to be fighting against.

[37RainDrops]

You people must not know how to read. I never said people SHOULD listen to the bands I posted, I never even said ANYTHING about wardrobe, and NEVER said anything about acting a certain way, and I most certainly did NOT say people should think a certain way.

Don't you dare label me or tell me what punk is or isn't.

[9KILLthePOOR9]

@37RainDrops

no but you still seem to think that if people don't like or listen to the bands you do it makes them posers, well just because you think the casualties suck doesn't mean that i can't like em without being a poser, your acting like an elitist

[37RainDrops]

-_-

You are labeling yourself, you are labeling me, and you are putting words in my mouth. You are not even worth my time...

Oh, one more thing: THE CASUALTIES SUCK.

[samhainlives]

When you kids get out of high school you'll realize that punk music and the punk "lifestyle" aren't something to be debated. It's good music with a good message. Nothing more, nothing less.

Trust me. I used to be just like you.

[kakarot138]

punk is a way of life not fashion. its a life style,its a state of mind new punk music is not punk its pop and that my friends is crap. they do it for the green not for the love of it.

[ReaperX3ro]

All i can say to the next generation of punks is...LEARN YOUR HISTORY...Then take what you've learned to the future.

Anyone who doesn't do this is a poser.

[anarkholic]

punk.. i dont even know wat to say anymore about it.. punk is wat we make it out to be.having little gay fights over the net ir rediculous.this scene will soon be a joke to everyone else if we worry more about everyone else or the way we dress. we need to stay true and live out our message.

who remembers when we didnt have to worry about wat scene was better, who was a posre or not. it was either about playing shows for ppl who lived the life you did, or going to shows with the ppl who with them

[punkkeepsmesane420]

UNITY MOTHERFUCKERS UNITE. kick nazis in the face instead of mindless "internet war" of whos more punker than thee other motherfuckers. its a god damn shame to see us likeminded people arguing over pitty fuckin shit. so fucking STOP

[OddManOut420]

Jeff?

[punkkeepsmesane420]

fuck yea.

[topso619]

oi twonexcelz... everybodys not like you... im 15 and i havent left the scene cuz im addicted to punk rock and i will listen it to the grave

[kurtcobainstheshit]

How can you say nobody is true when you "left this scene" it doesn't make sense its not a scene its our thoughts and beliefs about authority. Its not a scene that's what make it not true anymore.

[haha174riot]

Music, Beer, Sex, Violence

[FARSTOPproductions]

why the fuck would you come to this page if all your going to do is say something bad? your guys are fucking idiots...all the ones who appreciate this music are awesome the rest of you can go suck a dick punk is about freedom and individuality

[TwoneXCeLZ]

Your all a bunch of little scrubs. I left this scene when i was 17. I bet none of you are even true.

[ChocolateTystick]

your 18 now right?

[TwoneXCeLZ]

19 turning 20

[anticrombi]

fuck your shit you stupid cunt if you were ever "true" you would keep your fucken mouth shut to the next generation of punks about if they are true or not

[CompleteCntrl14]

@TwoneXCeLZ and you obviously know what being "true" is all about

[alienandroid2012]

only the few know..

[PhazedSIX]

haha youtube and punk kids. All of you are fucking retarded & dont deserve to listen to this music.

Penis.

[9KILLthePOOR9]

OH and your so cool and definately not a poser because you obviously don't waste your time commenting on youtube, get yourself a fucking life and leave our scene alone

[PhazedSIX]

@9KILLthePOOR9 You're fucking retarded.

[9KILLthePOOR9]

@deadfordays no man thats not true cause there are posers out there and posers aren't punks, posers are people who look like punks but they do it for fashion and they're fools

[ChromaticDeathVox]

@deadfordays or a Nazi Punk... if you're using the Dead Kennedys definition of Nazi Punk that is.

[mindblown2008]

@deadfordays Couldn't have said it better myself, if you took one look at me someone like that wooulda guessed that I like rap or somethin, but I am a die hard punk rocker-metal head till the end, I can't stand close minded ignorant fuctards that you are talkin about

[casualtiessux]

harcore punk! poser will die!

[LittleTimeBomb]

they played in ga and stayed at my buddy's house. we got the fat guy to jump off our roof on to the trampoline. they suck now though. bomb squadren was better

[joshpgnut]

has anybody else noticed the intro of the "sound of the streets" on this song is the same intro off that madball song set it off?

[DOA666JOEYSHITHEAD]

punks and skins unite, s.h.a.r.p. Oi

[justin88990]

The arguing, the arguing....

The Virus kicks ass.

[anarchist63]

skins are fucking bastards

[adiosucks123]

skins are some of the coolest, nicest people i know. think before you talk out your ass dick wad. skins arent racist

[killgloriaaroyo]

idiot!

[BLOODandHONOURoi]

explain this please... i'm an anti racist anarcho-punk and i get on with skins very well

[zachcooley]

because the "old" skins were actually the same as us. just a bit different. the "new" poser skins are like all about racism and nazi's and dont know shit about shit.

[Sexpistols15151]

right on brother good to know somone knows what there talkin about

[AbyssOfDestruction]

Fuck Nazi Punks

[zachcooley]

agreed

[shitfacedreprobate]

nazi punks arent true punks. i hate to call people posers, but honestly, punk is about freedom, and nazis are about control. its extremely contradictory.

[Fabain161]

@AbyssOfDestruction Fuck you! Nazi Punk was invented before Punk the way it is now

[TheRandomComedy101]

@Fabain161 you said it!

[EnthroningDarkness]

@AbyssOfDestruction This is the most common chant amongst modern punks. and quite frankly its getting fucking annoying. I have friends that support national socialist ideas and i have friends that support socialist/communist ideas. Neither them talk shit or fight about their views, they might have disagreements about views on things but fighting over politics is pathetic and to be quite honest its rather funny. When it comes down to the end all, their both standing against the current government

[HxC4life11]

@zachcooley skins originated from oi! in the early 70's when american oi! came out ignorant racests tryd to take over n almost did but were back now stronger than ever

[moineauska]

@HxC4life11 skinheads came out of reggae, ska and soul in the end of the 60ties in England, read the history of that subculture...

[hrdcorhippy]

@zachcooley this man is very right

[DroogMonkey]

No one understands skins. It has no ties to racism(those are neo-nazi's"boneheads").

In fact the original skinheads were black.

/fun fact

[adiosucks123]

no not true

[metalcat83]

the thing about music is using your own interpretation or meaning and manipulating it into whatever you wanted to be about.........that is how the human mind should work.....

[tirugaaa]

the real bastard's are racist

[kingdamian]

Real skins aren't racist.

Long before any white supremacist wanna be skin existed the opressed made the song SHARP

SKIN HEADS AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE

[Sehv13]

Fucking finally! more people should know this. Skins are about taking pride in being working class, a veeeery small percentage are neo nazis but nobody seems to care to find out more about skins, they just assume they're a hate group

[ligenglish]

ARA, Every fucking day! Damn skippy bro!

[Mr51413]

im confused what are the rats supposed to be? i cant tell whether this song is racist or anti racist. no offense

[ziomar19]

one of my favorite bands i want all you fuckers to know

[Punk4lyfe1414213562]

Another day, another place

Another lonely woman's face

Another cop, another shot

Another fucked up kid is lost

I can't wait anymore

It's time we settle the score

This city belongs to me

These rats they own the streets - it's true

BEST LINES

[wanderer1031]

too many rats in my city too.

snitches are a dying a breed....

[dahleeah]

[olajgyufak]

[mrhyde101]

how can you even call yourself punk... you nazi pice of shit... your not punk... your just a fucking racist little brat

[ecuadormexico]

[BLOODandHONOURoi]

[mrhyde101]

how can you unite with racist scum like "olajgyufak ".... fucking nazi punks dont desirve to live.. there even more disgusting than nazis themselfs...

[Chopper731]

[meancan08]

[anticonformist777]

[teenagezombie911]

[adiosucks123]

HAHA!

[jjuulliioo1987]

ESTA PERRONA LA CANCION

[turkobanger222]

to conhecendo a banda agora! foda! sonzera que chama pro rolé! get the streets mutha!

[Punk4lyfe1414213562]

How about we stop arguing about punks and skins and just say the virus is fuckin beast?

[olajgyufak]

where I live, in Hungary, we get on well with skins. only in some towns theres conflict between us. but most of the towns we help eachother, and drink together, cause we all hate sharps and gipsyes, and politics. in Hungary the Oi isnt AFA, the Oi is real punx and skinz, and I think its great. why should we hate skinz? we arent hippies, and we love our contry.

[deadcows09]

to the guy who said fuck unity fuck you punk and the punx and skins will never unite fuck nazis...

U-P T-H-E P-U-N-X

[ReaperX3ro]

lol, skinheads aren't nazis. Skinheads are just working-class punks with shaved heads. Nazi-Skinheads are called Boneheads. Read up.

[george1punk2]

+there complete and utter hypercrits

[AcidCakes]

Actually, they're a separate subculture that emerged in England in the late 60's.

[adiosucks123]

like reaper said skins arent nazis there nice and are just like punks

gotta do rescreach before you talk man (sorry if i misspelled im tired as fuck)

[george1punk2]

im fucking with you mate punx are nothing to do with skinheadism

[mrhyde101]

ppl like you make skinheads look like fascist and racist...

SHARP are antiracist skins..

and like reaperX3ro said: boneheads are fascist skins...not true skin heads

[punkrocklist13]

dude stop argueing bout this over the internet

get on the streets and live a real life

(u might find the fact that im on here to hippicritical but this is the only way i can listen to music and i thought this whole thing was pathetic so ya)

[mrhyde101]

wtf what the fuck do you know about my life?? hahaha... your a prick and you have no idea haha FAGG

im sure you feel alone in life faggot

[punkrocklist13]

well hear we go fire away with the homophobic disses

i don't feel alone becuz i got all my friends and all i need on the streets

[sfan1010]

hi-5

[olajgyufak]

where do you live?

[mrhyde101]

i live in spain.. and if you fucking come i fucking will smash you little gay skull

[olajgyufak]

oooh. im fear :( Why didnt you said for the first time you dont know anything about punx, just what you've read about it?

I told you how does it look in our country. but now i see you cant understand me. bastard...

[mrhyde101]

i dont understand because you dont speak english...

are you a nazi? are u punk? are you racist?...

if your antifascist-antiracist punk well hey! cheers...

but if your a fuckin nazi i fucking wish hell that a fucking brain tumor gets in your brain and in all your familys brains...

im tired , ive been out smoking weed all day and i come home and see this shit what can i say...

FUCK ALL NAZIS!!! VIRUS KICKS ASS!!

[olajgyufak]

iam not nazi, i am OiPunk, but in my country oi doesnt mean we are afa, and i havent ever got problem with skinheadz. but with SHARPs, a lot of time, and with gypsies i have conflict every week. and sorry but my english is bad. but i hope you understand me.

[mrhyde101]

skinheads are SHARPS... boneheads are the problem.. fucking nazis that dont even know what they are...

SHARPS are = SKIN HEADS, AGAINST, RACIAL, PREJUDICE. nothing bad about them... they just drink beer and they are antiracist people...

and punx represent ANARCHY AND ANTIFASCISM..

you shouldnt be worring about gypsies when theres real scum around the world like fucking nazis and other racist scum

[ISayNukem]

I also did some research recently on Aryans, and wasn't expecting what I found! I can confidently say most people have absolutely no idea the history behind it, and operate on misconceptions. It IS history, recorded by humans, and certainly fallible, but MAN! I'm a little surprised neo-nazis/white supremacists would want anything to do with a label like that, considering. I am still learning though.

[ISayNukem]

Clearly there is a debate on the origin on skinheads. Both sides want to claim the roots, of course. I've heard skins started in London (that much seems widely accepted at least) & wasn't racial, that in fact Jamaicans and other blacks (and also any other race) were welcome, that it was about politics not race. And of course, I've heard the opposite. Research hasn't cleared any of that up for me, so any constructive input would be appreciated. If you're just gonna be nasty, please don't bother.

[Punk4lyfe1414213562]

orly?

[deadcows09]

i know the fuckin differance where im from thats what we call them sorry with it clashes with your termanology

[deadcows09]
