Voivod - Ripping Headaches

[HelicopterHoneymoon]

Back when people dressed cool.

[terrytestament]

there's no word to describe this song, bitch please.

[RotnRoll77]

What a spectacle. They're playing like Hell. R.I.P. Piggy.

[combellack69]

this was a great night, loved the show and i must say i am so saddened that the spectrum is no more, awesome venue and an awesome band

[666SHADOWDIED]

pure raw pawnage 

[KingCrimson776]

"Voivod laid the ground work for many of todays extreme metal bands"

Too bad today's bands didn't get the sense of humor and creative streak that Voivod had.

[roxysux]

this band opened doors for my band and other Canadian metal bands if it was not for them my band Lilith Of Death would not be doing what we like doing

[aSpoonfedTribe]

lol @ deathcore kids. I'm a death metal fan (Autopsy, Dismember, Entombed) and don't really listen to thrash anymore, but even with the TERRIBLE quality of the mix on this song, you can tell the guitarist is absolutely fantastic at his trade. This song wipes the floor with any deathcore band's entire discography. Sorry deathcore kids, you're not br00tal, just st00pid.

[SLUTFUKK]

Gods....



[FishlipsMalone]

another slice of canadian bacon what i like :p

[FishlipsMalone]

HEEERE'S JOHNNY :P 

[FishlipsMalone]

Why do I somehow feel that this one song is better then Voivods later shit?

[Tapewormz]

I always loved this song. Brutal and raw.

[xBickox]

@Tapewormz lol brutal and raw?you crazy?brutal and raw = hardcore,not fucking thrash metal...this is for 4 year-old kids...why don't any of you try to search for some new bands,not this old shit that sound like a thrash can...go top 10 deathcore bands or what ever just don't listen to this old crap

[Tapewormz]

@xBickox Little kids like you who are just cutting their teeth on heavy metal have no clue. When you mature, you'll understand. Until that day comes, you'll just be another worthless black metal bitch sucking on your moms hairy tit and wearing face paint so you can look just like Tammy Fae Baker(now Messner) when she got busted.

And FYI, when Voivod first hit the scene they were classified as Speed Metal not Thrash.

[xBickox]

@Tapewormz lol black metal sucks...there are differences between hardcore and standard metal(heavy,death,black...), f*uck those face paints,it's rt...I got like 2 more years till I'm mature so don't talk to me like I'm 12 or what ever...dude this was cool in like 80' 90'...now it's like a f*cking 2011! new bands are coming and they deserve a chance...

[Tapewormz]

@xBickox Right, new bands are coming out and the music is evolving. However that's not what you first said when you outright attacked me for enjoying this song and this band. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's not good or valid. Afterall, the new bands you're talking about are heavily influenced by their piers which happen to be bands such as motorhead, iron maiden, voivod etc...

[22CSX23]

@xBickox what did you do go to encyclopedia dramatica and copy info to insult us

[A1L4E2X4]

@xBickox Deathcore? please.. i listened to that shit in the womb..

'thrash metal is just better, and itll be pretty tough for you to argue, considering most shitcore bands arround are influenced by thrash metal bands.

[piski5]

this is the shit!!!!!!

[piski5]

this is the shit!!!!!!

[seeingeyegod]

There is something about their music that has an inherent FUCK YOU coming from it that is so awesome and different about them compared to anything else, eh?

[peeewt]

fucken lethal leads!

[FedorEight]

Play this to your aging hippie neighbours. Annoy them.

[BoovTheAlmighty]

Was so glad when they played this at their show in London last week. Amazing band.

[bubbabubba20042004]

sharp scream, the end is always near, I want to drop my pants!

[TheDeadpool666]

et en plus c'est québecois ahah

[bubbabubba20042004]

love it. thanks for posting. so glad i saw them in 2003 at ozzfest. "sharp scream, the end is always near, i want to drop my pants!" thank you jason for realizing awesome thrash!!!

[combellack42]

This was a great fucking show at a great venue, Such a shame that the Spectrum is no more. So many great memories of great shows there over the years. As a side note a few years after this album Voi Vod played a great show at porter hall in ottawa with two lesser known bands opening for them, Faith No More and Soundgarden. So many bands owe so much to these guys. RIP Piggy

[thrashtildethxx]

it doesnt get more loud and obnoxious than rrroooaaarrr even the name of the album is loud haha

[oldschoolthrasher01]

This is the old VoiVod I know and love. Classic thrash metal.

[godofmetal712]

Damn learning this song by ears a bitch...thus Piggy is God!

[everonn2]

If you want disorder

They're many maniacs here

The shit is just beggining

It will be long before

We see posers again

I'm gonna tear some wimp

Rockers limb from limb

love the lyrics....

[DontMakeMeStrikeU]

wow this is pretty sick stuff

[cuniligus]

YEAHH!!!VOIVOD i'm a paranoid VOIVOD the wine of blood VOIVOD i'm a crazy god VOIVOD the ferocious dog!!!!!!!THrash on!!!!!

[TheFanclubmedia]

Thank you everyone for the comments!!!

We're going to play this song on Saturday

Blacky

[sabb1971]

salut blacky, j'etais au club soda ce soir, c'etait EXCELLENT!!! j'espere que vous allez revenir, long live voivod!!! amicalement....... martin.

[wizorz]

j'approuve c'était vraiment un évènement tout y était pour une super belle soirée

[good222speed]

this is insane ,intense and raw !!!voivod forever!!

[blackmayonnaise888]

GREAT SONG/GREAT ALBUM!!!!!!!!!! brings back many great memories from way back in the day.

it's depressing though to think about how most of my friends from back in those days have ruined their lives from felony convictions, domineering wives, bible thumping, etc...

hail to all of those who have kept their fighting spirit alive and are doing well without having lost their proper perspective on what it means to be alive.

[combellack42]

WOW i like most of Vod's music but this era is my favorite. The live parts of this video where filmed at the Spectrum in montreal and as always it was a great show. Sadly the venue is no longer but lots of memories from the Old days.

[queenoftheryche669]

Old voivod was awomse new voidvod not some much

[MikeyMcCrashCap]

I'm still smashing and my body is doing bad. We don't care and you know all the world will die.

[beastatlay]

I always loved Blacky's custom Liberatore bass with all the spiky shit on it - apparently Away, the drummer, designed all the guitar bodies for the band.

Could never work out why he needed a whammy bar on it, though!

[albertino992]

check out METAL CHURCH!!

thx..

[POODEDPEY]

Awesome, but voivod got way better imho

the audio sucks on this lol

Rip Piggy

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. One of the classic videos from the old Doomsday News VHS video. I bought my VHS copy back in 1994 and I've had it ever since. Classic video. Hail Voivod. RIP, Piggy.

[crapok]

Encore des Québécois qui ont révolutionner leur domaine! Le Metal!!

[dumriff]

FUCKING CRAZY!!!

[KamenRiderNecro]

Ooohhh, hells yes! I remember Voi Vod fondly, and "Killing Technology" is still one of my very favorite albums from back in the 80s. This is a damned good album too, and I still have my vinyl version in my archives. Memories!

[oldschoolthrasher01]

Alawys loved the early VoiVod. first 3 lps were classics. Love the rawness and heaviness.

Check out another band who starts with a "v", Baltimore's VSD for some old school metal. recorded live in 1987, VSD- Phantasmagoria, Mental Breakdown, the classice Kill your Kids , and 2 other songs on youtube now.

[stuka72]

Jodeeeeeeeeeer que buenoooooooo!!!! ..que recuerdos tan buenos me trae este video.

GENIAL

[LucienProvencher]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooo­oooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

hahahahaha awesome! vive voivod!

[HateDisease]

Voivod - greatest band of all time. R.I.P. Piggy.

[disjonk]

RRROOOAAARRR!!!

Avec les petits points sur les ÖÖÖ!!!

[HarryBryantnxs6]

One of my all time favorites. This is them at their rawest. For those who are complaining saying its shit, these guys were and are one of the legends that started it all. Keep in mind that this was only their 2nd album and that they were still young and refining their skill. Unless you can appreciate the old sound and beginnings from back in the day when Metal was in its infancy, you wont be able to respect this. Also, they are Cyber Thrash and therefore have a different style.

[calesclan]

Kult !!! R.I.P. Piggy.

[EmporerReagan]

wow this band kicks fuckin ass

[chinoxdark]

i dont like them they kinda suck right now

[firebird116]

so glad i actually got to see them live with vio-lence supporting demension hatross, i will never forget it. voivod forever, rip piggy,

[kissardu]

WOW thta's a badass bass

[Lordisux]

You can fuck off and die. how bout that?

[oskoret]

terribly excellent

[EmporerReagan]

i think you listen only to the sound quality and not the actual notes being played, this music is badass. go listen to some in da club or trivium bullshit chickenshit

[tehmono]

EmporerReagan: While I understand your point, I would like to say that in both cases for this video, the notes being played, and the quality of the sound, in my opinion, is that of soft-serve-stool.

Also, I do not enjoy R&B. I do not think you have an understanding of the word trivium, as you used it out of context:

Trivium: (Middle Ages) an introductory curriculum at a medieval university involving grammar and logic and rhetoric; considered to be a triple way to eloquence

[gpalmamrw]

He means Trivium, the band that began as metalcore and as the trend of metalcore began to decline and the rise of thrash metal come again, the jump on the wagon and claim themselves to be thrash just for playing a more metallica-exodus-esque oriented metalcore, anyways no excuse to made insults like 2grade children,anyways Voivod was in the beggining a thrash-punk oriented metal band, now they play a more progressive experimental type of metal,too bad,I would enjoy more a blend of the 2 periods.

[BELACSAMOHT]

I like the kind of bad sound quality gives the character if it is toperfect then it is boring and sounds like shit ironically

[metalmaniactilldeath]

I couldn't agree more!

It sounds fuckin' RAW!

[gpalmamrw]

this doesn't sound raw........this sound fucking RRRÖÖÖAAARRR!!!!!!!!!!!my favorite song of the album without a fucking doubt.

[scumthrasher]

War and Pain is the shit. I'll never forget Snake pulling one of my arms and the bouncer on the other in Branford ct. It was just the encore anyways after all day with snake backstage eating Tom G.W. food too. Snake said FUCK HIM!!!! EATTTTTTTTT. Cool as fuck Video. Thx.....

[oskoret]

War And Pain is the best, period.

[forebona]

metal mania every fuckin night more and more its so good

[ThrashGuru666]

Hahahahahaaahh!!!! Nise fuckin name! Anthrax and Voivod rule!!!

[FernandoAbduction]

la raja voivod asi de simple RRRROOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

temaso de ese cd wn

[HUNRainmaker]

fukin insane band, total chaos in this song, but it is my fav trash era!

[TransMetal79]

I love how this song sounds like it's going to fall apart at any second!

[sixfeetundertaken]

now thats a killer song!!!

[CeeLord76]

malditesta lancinanti zio bestia!!! pogooo!

[bubbabubba20042004]

"sharp scream, the end is always near, I want to drop my pants"

[vagan1984]

RIP PIGGY.VOIVOD were always insane in a good way that is.THRASH TILL DEATH

[overthrower]

Me gusta éste disco (RRRROOOAAAARRRR) lo escuché por primera vez en Septiembre de 1986, me influenció bastante a la hora de frasear mis letras. Todavía me gusta el sonido de éste disco.

Saludos desde Chile.

[jockojonson17]

If only this album didn't sound like it was recorded on an answering machine tape deck.

[BigRedTooL]

"No sir, didn´t like it!" quote: Ren...and me.

I like parts of the music, but it´s just a bit too messy for my taste. And the singer is awful! I wanted to like it so much, that i bought the album, yes - LP, back in the 80´s, spending my hard earned money, but this never grew on me. Nice to be reminded of those times though... "good times, bad times, you know i get my share".

[p4horror]

RROOAARR! is a killer album. THe vocals, drums & guitar effects are very Venom influenced. To me Dimension Hatross is when they came out with their own signature sound/style. This album just ripped though for the non-progressive fans.

[Malldemolisher101]

The greatist legendary guitarist ever!

RIP piggy

[SssThsss]

Hell, that's a lot of discussion on genres. Just stick to the bands you like. However, I will point out that thrash metal started as a sort of metal heavily influenced by punk. In fact, the band credited with writing the first thrash song ever has recorded covers of the ramones, the dead boys, etc. And all their original members' nicknames were a reference to a punk artist (I'm talking about Overkill here).

Hell, even Megadeth covered Anarchy in the UK.

About the video, fucking awesome.

[SssThsss]

Weird, I remember the comment but I'm pretty sure I never watched this video...

[aaron900012]

fucking amazing!!!!!!!

[BRHheartGT]

One of the most UNDERATED guitarists ever......Long Live PIGGY

[bubbabubba20042004]

"Sharp scream, the end is always near, I want to drop my paaa...nts!"

Hehe, been a fan of VoiVod since the mid-80's. Got to see them in Scranton, PA in 2003, it was awesome!

[ironmaidenp]

actually Thrash is punk + metal

[420blazejuggalo]

yeah but this has alot more Hardcore Punk sound to it

[Snarfstudios]

mix of thrash and punk is called crossover.

[420blazejuggalo]

like a mix betweem punk and thrash. i love it!!!

[WarriorOfMetal1986]

lol mix between punk and thrash

[420blazejuggalo]

ya thats wat it is the singer even said it himself he was a huge fan of Hardcore Punk.

[kolvvrand]

thrash itself is a mix between speed metal and punk.

lol

[mannequinrepublic]

gayest argument ever

[Chuloloc]

Awesome.

[grindcore1986]

true fucking thrash

Voivod rules!

[Hashwizard]

piggy rip..now lets smoke!!

[jerryskid1]

VOIVOD absolutely rule. Every album is different.

[gofawkyrslf]

RIP Piggy

[esturgon]

vive voivod

[sadisticdelusionYOU]

pssshh shut the fuck up and watch the video

[mateoprimero]

asi deveria ser todo cañero y discontinuamnete hard muy duro grande voivod

[acebarbarian]

ROTFL!!! THis song made me insane for real!!! love it!

[gabrielnyc]

NONE of the modern metal shit can hold a candle to these guys.

[casperado666]

check out the Dillinger escape plan (CD "calculating infinity"). I think it's the only hope of metal these days (maybe together with Pig Destroyer and some other grindcore bands).

[gabrielnyc]

really? thanks for the heads up casperado!

[casperado666]

U r welcome! I just couldn't stand the pessimism of your message, so i thought mine could cheer you up a bit. Now u can live a full life again. =))

[gabrielnyc]

LOL!

[Vorph]

First of all, Dillinger escape plan sucks ass and are not metal. Second, niether is grindcore. So how can grindcore be hope for metal?

[Riyeden]

.....Saying Dillinger isn't metal is one thing... saying they "suck ass" is just fucking ignorant...

First off, Metal is a culture not a specific type of music. Secondly, the term "Metal" covers tons of sub genres of heavy,aggressive and even soft melodic pieces of music. Third, grind-core is a huge part of that culture. And lastly, bands like Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and ME and other extremely technical (math-core, if you will) bands are certainly pushing the culture forward.

[Vorph]

Metal is a subculture evolved from the music, Heavy Metal you dumb fuck. It only covers band that are metal.

What you're talking about is hardcore, a genred that arised out of hardcore punk

Next time, just stfu.

[Riyeden]

ignorant. plain ignorant.. sorry to hear it bud.

[Riyeden]

If you cant wrap your head around Dillinger, that's fine, just don't go around slagging some of the best/original musicians in this day and age. With so much having been done before it's almost impossible to be completely unique... DEP sounds only like DEP and no one else, that alone should be given the respect it deserves.

[Vorph]

I could sound like no one else also, I could muble things while playing random on randomly found instruments, that'd be only me doing that too.

It doesn't mean shit. If I want the best musicians I go listen to Pavor.

[vanishingofemptiness]

Wrong, DEP sounds like Obscura era gorguts except more jammy(ie less purposeful direction), then they went mainstream.

[Ollie00000008]

if these guys are such guitar gods then how come none of them follow styles of people like victor wooten>? lenny breau? im sure theyd sound original if they did. but out of the last 100% of metal guitarists ive heard heed no such influences. it seems theyre always just out there to rep the scariest fastest loudest 'tricks' they can pull off. I thought this was art, not a competition.

[salgamripper]

Bite kill rush skulk and there's

No chance to save your cracked brain

Burn slam shout scream the end is

Always near I want to drop my pill

======VOI-VOD FOREVER!!!=======

[Foreign10]

voivod is defiantly one of the most unique bands ever.

[666khaos]

not only is this thrash! this is insane!!!!VOIVOD!!!!WORSHIP!!!­!

[pauloxaxb]

what year?

[jaydischord]

1984 mate,off their first album,no make that the second...first was "War and Pain"...."Dimension Hatross" was the best,maybe 1988....way ahead of their time.

[pauloxaxb]

thanks mate.

[gabortrue]

THRASH!!!!!

[SenjiroTheSerpent]

This song (and the vid) makes you wanna "Jump up and down like a psycho circus clown" and break stuff around *mad*.

Thus, 'tis the real deal THRASH!! Damn, I wish there was more of it these days...

[Trogdorgull]

And I thought MODERN metal was rediculous....this is INSANE! I don't even know what the hell Snake is saying....awesome....

[lazium]

well, it's a free world, go to listen to MANTOVANI.

[satanourmaster]

yeah!!!

[bryandamaged]

and also in their old practice space off Ontario st. east in Montreal(crazy parties maaannn!)

[bryandamaged]

this was filmed in Montreal at "Le Spectrum"

[kaiserwilhelm]

this shit is good. But the other songs on youtube is wussy shit. Did they get more advanced or some shit?

[bymistakeofgod]

R.I.P voivod guitarist i forgot your name because you werent so imporatant

[TMotley]

Die.

[deejay303]

piggy

[bassist12345]

Piggy was his name

[Wruff]

You have no idea how influential this band was to the big names of the 80's and 90's. Ingnorance.

[mariaf83]

PUNK SOUNDING SUCKFEST

[PhantomOTO]

POSER FAG

[C5150C]

These guys need to chill out and ride the ferris wheel for some therapy.

[Jimmy7V]

fucking classic song!!!!

[mickbynes]

I only have downloaded a few songs by Voivod. I'm not really a big fan of em as of now, but watching these videos on YouTube make me want to get one of their albums. I'm going to get Katorz.

[DaHool002]

mickbynes, if you like these songs on youtube you'll their older albums better I think. Katorz isn't that good Imo. Try 'Killing Technology' for the heavier stuff and 'The Outer Limits' for a more spacy theme.

[Infernolord]

fucking insane!

[yarg667]

Classic song! I saw these guys with Kreator on the Killing Technology tour. Great shit.(sorry for the double post)

[yarg667]

Classic song!

[prodottoscaduto]

classic metal fans always hate them! too much noise, dissonance, i don't know, but here is where creativity lives!

[ArmandECW666]

Sic..awesome upload!!!!

[Sorlandet]

Great classic!!!!

[mojmaster]

kick ass!!!!!!!!!! rrrrrroooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­arrrrrrrr

[Nephesch]

I think this vidz was on their DVDO dvd dat was released early this year! VOIVOD rrrrrrrooooooooooaaaaaaaaarrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

[mfeugene]

i got to eat dinner with them and got to sit in their tour bus and hung out backstage with piggy before a show once. piggy was a really nice guy.....r.i.p.

[Emannikcufesin]

German Pretenders Running Wild?!! They are definately not a very consistent band and are a little obvious with their Judas Priest influence. However you got to give the band credit for the Death and Glory album, sheer brilliance! I uploaded a video from that album here on You Tube, check it out.

[firebird116]

i was lucky enough to see them way back on their demention hatross tour, ill never forget it, it was soawesome, still sad fro Piggy

[dank230075]

AMAZING!! i wish i knew where the hell you got this vid!! VOIVOD RULE!!!

[Emannikcufesin]

From a Noise Records video compiliation called Doomsday News, it was released in 1990. It was this video that made me a Voivod fan.
