Negative Approach Chicago 9-9-06

[ewokisacannible]

his voice still sounds so amazing, and almost deeper than it was in the 80's.

and they are STILL so tight.

[UdontDeserveGGAllin]

damn i'd go so far as to say they sound better in a way now then they used to. the old stuff live was OG and hardcore as fuck but as far as being a good band they'd be better to see now, depending on the bone head jock pit status

[QueefyMcq]

Hey, nice work with the camera in the pit. I'm frequently in the pit and can't imagine having a piece of expensive equipment in there while I'm moshing. You got good audio too! Kudos! Re: best band, it's actually Gang Green songs on the Boston Not L.A. album. Their later metal stuff was....well, metal. But their HC songs are the greatest ever.

[MrChattyO]

My pal got to see these guys in Philly a few months back. Lucky mofo! Been listening to them for 20 years! One of the best U.S. hardcore bands ever!!!

[twoboots4you]

Is this the original lineup? Fruckin great!

[JERRYSKlDS]

yeah

[xWinterslovex]

Just the drummer and the singer I think..

[attilathefun1]

[DeweyZei31337]

HOLY FUCK ARE THEY STILL PLAYING NOW

[kreuzfahrtinsnichts]

they still exist??

[EVILLYNJANIS]

right! where was this and where was i

[V1RG1N1AN]

negative approach is a staple of why modern hardcore is what it is. GOOD hardcore, anyway.

[coerly]

Negative Approach is not one of the best bands ever, they ARE the best ever. Kids listen up, THIS is what punk is supposed to sound like.

[UdontDeserveGGAllin]

@coerly fuck punk, this is hardcore.

[coerly]

@UdontDeserveGGAllin Hard Core Punk Rock!!!!! You're right.

[bobomoontuxedo]

snortin coke off hookers leave that to the Agnostic Fronts and Cro Mags

[heavyjavadrinker]

if you like this check out hardcore sellout bands like the laughing hyenas and easy action. they're also cashing in on the American Hardcore movie.

[Obakedake]

dude if you don't respect NA you don't know shit about hardcore, plain and simple

who cares where the fuck they play now, they were originators.

[damienblack]

I agree with ya on that boogiefart he should shut up...just people baggin on NA everyone is a critic these days..oh look at his hair...why he wearin that shirt..they sold out haha i bet NA are down in the bahamas snortin coke off hookers tits as we speak,Not.

[damienblack]

Just listen to the godamn song and shut up if you don't like it don't listen to it...simple as that.

[boogiefart]

and its kinda hard to listen to it when u cant hear it over the singing/screaming video taper fucking awsome band i guess ill just go throw on my tape and shut the fuck up now

[boogiefart]

somebody needs 2 choke the shit outta the guy with the camera.this aint a fuckin sing along. hope the fucker gets snagged up by 1 of the pit rats and smashed on.

[thebigredman666]

Hey Boogiefart, I started taping shows while you were still watching Romper Room. If you even had the slightest clue as to what is involved with it (in this case, standing down front with a still camera while trying to keep from kitting kicked in the head by the "pit rats"), you would keep your comments to yourself.

[boogiefart]

well thebigred if u wasnt standing with your camra having a sing along at all of your so called video taped shows but yet to post u would know what it is to be a pit rat question how old you think i am?your not typing to a 16 year old

[FarleyTube]

Apparently you've never been to a punk show if you think no one sings along. He's singing along because he's just a fan watching the show, not a documentary cameraman.

[misfitx138]

man he looks real different with all that hair! cut it off man!

yeah this band should get paid for shows are you kidding? why is that an issue, bands play, they get paid for their work and bringing revenue to a venue. not a hard concept.

[TheHessian]

great stuff, and the comments on this page have me rolling with laughter... SO TYPICAL!!

"I am deeply in the scene,I even have my own hardcore punk band."

[twilightkinko]

Get your mouth off the fucking mic. Aside from that this was pretty good.

[ultrabootboy]

Hell yeah! Great shit!!

[TargetAudience1]

Oh fuck yes

[centerrightpunk]

sorry us "kids" werent around to enjoy the "good ol days". if they want to "cash in", i could care less. they deserve it.

[JAYDED]

another old band that reforms in an effort to cash in the latest hardcore and punk trend,next year those kids will all go back to listening to crappy alternative music or rap like it was years ago anyway

[BobbyStag]

I'd have to disagree with your opinion, It'd be my guess that you obviously don't know anyone in any of the larger, more well known, old school hardcore bands. Otherwise, you would never make a remark like that. No one gets rich doing Hardcore. Not even bands like AF, The Cro-Mags and Bad Brains. What trend are you talking about? Hardcore has been on life support for a long time. Thanks for posting this vid!

[JAYDED]

really,is that why negative approach gets paid to play shows? and there is a huge resurgence in the interest of hardcore punk thanks to the movie american hardcore................

[BobbyStag]

So what are you saying? That they shouldn't get paid? I'm not going to debate the popularity of hardcore. Anyone deeply involved in the scene would disagree with you.

[JAYDED]

I am deeply in the scene,I even have my own hardcore punk band. Im not saying they shouldnt get paid but,when they were around in the 80's they werent getting paid anything. All of a sudden thanks to the resurgence of hardcore they come out of the woodwork.........

[TransducerX]

They "came out of the woodwork" for a one-off show at the request of Cory Rusk to celebrate TnG Records 25th anniversary. So, yea, the money is rolling right in.(?)

[DCBII]

This stuff rules! The people look like they were really into it.

[clobcan]

its like being 16 again (20years later) awesome stuff

[lucky777s]

man, too bad they didn't publicize it better. I would have driven in from Detroit. John and Lara you guys are awesome! How 'bout a show in Detroit sometime? Easy action is cool, but effing N.A. man!

[theblackempress]

They always opened with that one!

Great clip!

[ilovedemtits]

thats fucking sick as fucking hell, NEGATIVE APPROACH
