[ranenbk]

shit man, those were the days..great vid dude, totally kicks ass

[meteleskate]

name of the song and band?

[AmiriKing]

man! i grew up watching public domain,....shackle me not,....search for animal chin....but this song was always my fav...and always stood out. Great cover! loved it!!

[RogerioBarbosa1970]

Onde Comessa o Bagulho...

[ZAKROCKER93]

when your talkin about ray.

do you mean ray barbee

[rickface13]

wow this makes me feel old.lol..i remeber this shyat,and i like the dub over too very nice.

[joper90]

I still use this tune when i go snowboarding... normally launch to hard and end up in a heap :-/

[bassage13]

Public Domain!! I must have watched that video 1000 times when i was a kid.

[SmilesForFailure]

it also meens Goofy (stance) vs Regular (stance)

[baker3person]

dope....

[blink1420]

I love Public Domain, probably my favorite Bones Brigade Video, either Public Domain or Ban This. Peralta Boards are amazing.

[Bahbla]

Public Domain was the vid back in the day

[ruga666]

cool cover dude.

[BIKERJAKE74]

I thought Chin blew me away then this came out...Okay the Chin Ramp was the shit but this!!!!

[noisetvisual]

ey man, its a really really nice cover..congrats

MCrad rules and this cover too

[DoctorStooge]

1:49 what is that trick called?

[spankysteez]

bs 360 no comply

[xipetotecman]

back side 180 no comply to kickturn 180 these guys pioneer no comply trick variations...Steve Saiz did the first one on vert in this video

and Ray Barbee did them the most in depth, old school never dies jsut gets improved upon...

[sofia2100]

these guys are ripping!

[1fstHF]

SICK man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VilleSkateKrewRep]

In the same vein as cheese and crackers, i wish a pro would produce a fun part like this, with heaps of just cool fun flatland tricks. not switch laser flips [cool as they are] just dont seem like they're having a lot of fun

[PML4life]

watch a lizard king part

[rea1high]

i heard this tune today, and thought, yeah, that's cool, but i'm sure i've heard it before.

and here's why, i had this video! the good ole days!!

[pipalooch]

Original is by Odd man out, Steve Cabelleros band, was used in Public domain or Ban this for Cab, McGill and Mountain street skating. Its way better than this one.

[311gregory]

No it's not. It was by McRad fronted by Chuck Treece.

[pipalooch]

Sweet, did'nt know that.  Think cab was in a band, bass player, pretty sure its odd man out, but not this tune clearly/

[311gregory]

I think Steve was in a bunch of bands, Odd Man Out, The Faction Soda... probably more than that!

Bones Brigade tour came through my town in the late 80's but Steve wasn't with them. Rats.

[rubberfactorytv]

shovelhead

[skatetolive34]

wow, thanks a million for these posts! we hardly felt the heat of the Houston summers at that age skating and reviewing public domain. this was OUR skate video BIBLE, dammit ! i remember the first time i landed backside three sixty no-complys entirely airborne (without the 180 pivot out) thought i invented them! thought ray barbee woulda been so proud!haha! i was never the best in any skate circle by far, and I STILL SKATE- GET IT? long live those days, those times, and the greats!!!!!!!

[r0llin92]

good ol Days where all there was the olli and revert man good times lol sick man

[QuakeZero]

ey dudes props on this vid, the only bummer is that you didnt use the original soundtrack

[4130aykut]

this is not the original track!!!

[FoodCubes]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Turns out, the author altered the soundtrack (see author video comments).

[oregondukfan]

Just be honest the original is far superior to this.

Chuck doesn't "sing" on this song anymore.

Although this version is better than most post "public domain" version's I've heard.

Enough choppy lyrics, sing damn'it!

[Severiaxitus]

watch @ 1:30 ...awsome flatland(?) trick...

casper or so...

[skatedisgrace]

pretty damn sick

[strozey]

this is cool

[jocelynn62985]

Hey,you from Corpus?

[Born2Late00]

I like this more than the original, has a real raw sound to it...I remember watching this 20 years ago when skateboarding was more than just flip tricks and spoiled kids....

[framedbh1243]

yeah i got it i got it.

i remember me and my friends always singing this song afterwatching the vid and then skate all day long.

i have always dreamed of the american streets when i was a child here in Holland.

thanks burnside skate shop for all the memories.!!!!!!

[krosfyah]

LOL same memories - we dreamt of the smooth roads and pavements of California, not to mention the year round sunshine (we all grew up skating in wet cold and poorly concreted London, England!)

[droid740]

uhmmmm

this is gnr? I hate to be a hater, but this version is donkey balls. The orig has it all and then some.

Waste my time with that off meter playing. Wrong key too. Slash and duff were never this bad. This ISN'T GnR

[AwsomeMan32795]

dude hes tlking about gill and ray not gunes and roses haha they remade the song the original is by mcrad haha

[ZAKROCKER93]

@droid740 gil and ray not guns n roses. just pointing that out

[raznarukus]

Ive been looking for this for YEARS!! A few years ago when I did a search NOTHING came up for McRad..im so happy they have a myspace page and this...this is the real shit. Gnarley!!

[prostheticsk8]

old school is great!

;)

[nierates]

talk about a song that makes you reminisce about the ol days!!!

[skinnypoo]

FOOOKIN ROCKS back to my glory days of skatin!!

[jamesecash]

Five stars... this was one of my favorite songs!

[XNEWTXNEWTX]

were is this philly?

[PaulBart74]

It's GnR covering the Original by McRad

[deadlychickenxop]

love it, its an awesome song ;)

When I stumnbled across this link I thought it was just that part in public domain , then when the music started I was like, this sounds different ??

sound was good tho ;) I wonder how well it synchs up with the origional cut ?

[txsk8st8]

this movie is cool as shat

[bradical247]

What do u mean by GnR & mcrad???

I am fans off both... but dont try mix em hey...

[xgilxx]

No, GnR just stands for Gil and Ray. The two guys who remade the song...

[asantoro5]

Great version of a kick ass song by the lengendary Chuck Treece and McRad...Luv the old school boards and style mixed with modern day street skating.

OldSkool Sidewalk Surfer

[teleknizes]

where is rodney?

[yourmomisthebest]

I'll give you a C for effort if you're just starting out. I know there's supposed to be some distortion in that guitar, but damn bro, there's a little too much in there.

Anybody who is interesting in hearing the original should check out McRad's myspace page. "Weakness" is one of the songs he has posted, and I believe it's downloadable.

Not sure what youtube's policy on posting links is, so you're on your own from here. :)

[4130aykut]

oh no man, this version of weakness sucks!! it is meant well but the original cant be beaten! chuck treece would run mad if he would hear this one, anyway, skaterock means everything for me, specially mcrad and the drunk injuns!

[chachipower]

still better than the version on fdr, The new version McRad did doesnt have the soul of the first

[jesseoi]

you can find the MCRAD album on uprising records "absence of sanity" re release

[naisha3333]

dude how old is this vid?

[xgilxx]

1988.

[xgilxx]

mxl990... no drum mics yet.

[conorjd]

well then i guess that would explain it

[xgilxx]

yeah probably, we just started recording not too long ago. our recordings are getting better by the day... so hopefully next time i post a vid we won't have that problem. good ear!

[conorjd]

im something of a musician myself, it takes one to know one right

[jpg622]

Hello, i am from Argentine and this video remember me skateborading when i was 16 years old.i want to ask you what is the name of this song and the BAND who sound it .THANK YOU.

[conorjd]

this song is by Mcrad song name"weakness"

[jesseoi]

and you can find the album on uprising records "absence of sanity" re release

[conorjd]

hey what kind of mics did you use when you were recording this? the drums sound like you were using a vocal mic.

[mikese4]

sorry bro, your version of weakness sucks! but lovin the Public domain clip! Barbee looks the same as today, maybe a few more lines though.

[xgilxx]

bite it, you scum.

[jaydollah]

i used to sweat this clip hard when i was a kid. loved that particular powell crew, went out and bought the Saiez deck. I think i spelled his name wrong.

[conorjd]

love the oldschool decks man, nice editing and filming
