CRASS | There Is No Authority But Yourself

[OlenPaska616]

now more than ever, the world needs another band like crass.

[riseup20twelve]

And Crass laid the straw.. Woke up so many.. Bless you's all 

[twizzmOo]

Shit my pants when I found a doc on crass. Great job and it's good to see some people who still stand by their ideals

[7DeeDub2]

Fucking love wisteria - good doc too, grew up listening to Crass, Conflict, Subhumans......ah, good memories!

[m14m1a1]

I don't get it, none of these people look as good as Selina Gomez, so why are they trying so hard?

[wovokanarchy]

Where was this kind of thinking when "great'' Britain was raping and pillaging the entire world building a colonial empire? Now Englands' monster offspring has taken it's place raping Mother Earth and literally fucking her inhabitants dry.

[crassfanlovecraft]

52:55-54:15 YEAH, STEVE---IT'S RELEVANT TO ME, & IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, YOU DID SELL OUT ON THIS "LAST SUPPER TOUR".

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED CRASS, WITH EXTREME PASSION,

"THE LAST SUPPER TOUR" WAS NOT CRASS.

STEVE IGNORANT, YOU WERE THE ONLY ORIGINAL CRASS MEMBER IN THAT CIRCUS.

YOU, STEVE IGNORANT SOLD OUT.......

& IT MAKES ME WEEP.

LONG LIVE CRASS!!!!!!!

[ZH016]

@crassfanlovecraft well put my friend. agreed, which is why I didn't attend.

[ninjaturtledude999]

awwwww man I wanna live free I'm away to kill some pigeons

[crassazell]

Never thought that Crass would make me so nostalgic for such a shitty time in the un-united kingdom. Do we owe them respect. Cause we fuckin do.

[ennio997]

sorry fellas but i really hate them. so genuine for sure and thats was their disgrace, too pure, too radical, too utopic.

but in 2000 they must have finish the loved and hated pound, cause believe it or not even penny rimbaud goes to tesco shopping. the reality is horrible i know.

[thesadderdaysaints]

geez geriatric nice blankey

[bumchunk3]

Gee its stevenny

[rezdout]

CRASS OCCUPIES

[AnonymousTheMusician]

fucking brilliant 2012 might b the last year but at least im spending it listening to real music like subhumans and crass not this corporate bullshit that runs the airways these days

[TheBreadPants]

@AnonymousTheMusician 2012 is all bullshit. Punk lives on even in death.

[Crustiefuk]

whose the the one cunt who disliked then ?

crass forever man

[SuperBirnehelene]

absolutely fucking great movie !

[lakeviewviking]

STOP THE CITY: "Anti-facists" using facist tactics.

[lakeviewviking]

Watching this doc., Crass now remind me of the Technocracy movement in the U.S. from the 30s/40s...

[osomy]

I was into crass from 79,and saw them in 84(?) In liverpool .I think now they are naive and their idealism, stayed in one place.It never took into account the reality of class society. . They are realistically the punk @ anarcho monarchy. I do think their stark nature was a kick up the arse to us youth in the eighties and assisted strongly in our politicisation. Credit where credit is due. The passive 'ist' where class is concerned is comical.

[EmotionalIntrovert]

"Should I drop one?"

lol

[knothole5]

THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD

[rudeboi597]

@PunkandDisorderly987

[RUDIE110]

THERE IS NO AUTHORITY BUT YOURSELF

[jblucas70]

[jblucas70]

i have listen to CRASS/CONFLICT since 1987 and the reality of the comments still true!

fight powers not people!

[oipolloi1]

Penny Rimbaud ''drums''

so much more than that.

[PunkandDisorderly987]

whats the song at 6:37

[PunkandDisorderly987]

Crass is real punk....not fucking green day

[shovedhead]

Naked Pen-"shall I DROP ONE?"! Hahahahaha

[captiveww]

The lyrics are fantastic. This is inspirational although sad, considering the state of pop/commodity culture today. Thank you for posting.

[Andygirl1974]

I love it so much that these guys have lived their beliefs all this time. It's refreshing to see.

[Andygirl1974]

How fucking cool would it be to be the kid behind the bar and get to listen to Steve Ignorant stories every time he comes in for a pint?

[xXxPartyxPoisonxXx]

What's the name of the song @ 3:00 ?

[destroymusick]

@xXxPartyxPoisonxXx Do They Owe Us a Living

[pollmeister]

Never liked the music but fair dos to Crass. Interesting doco. Penny Rimbayd is a total proper hippy - good fucking luck to him. Nice one - should have had more publicity.

[posthumanhero]

i guess crass pretty much made white complaining music, comparable to the black rap...........i think 'penis envy' does it most for me, because it's more diverse and understated -- something tells me it's probably not the favorite of most punks.......funny it wasn't even mentioned in this movie except for a brief reference to 'cheating'......penny is well hung it's no wonder he was popular with the girls.....more power to him......i wonder what line of work steve ignorance is up to these days?

[posthumanhero]

sometimes when u get older and listen to past things, especially punk rock, there's less there than what u remember.......with crass, and perhaps even more so than other sophisticated punk bands like the germs, i can now appreciate the quality of production (separation of guitars, great drum sound and well mixed vocals) as well as the the playful quality of the playing itself which belies the claims that people walked off the streets into the band because it's all so tight and accomplished.

[akronymAmerican]

Crass changed everything, once i heard them i knew what was punk. not just music but way of thinking and living. they are the best punk band ever, greatest lyrics too!

[praisetothesinners]

All the these anti materialistic punks and their big nice houses haha

[buzzblitzklubber]

Ah well, Crass, third generation punks ain't the real thing, never was…

[buzzblitzklubber]

Whatever happened to Annie Anxiety / Little Annie ?

[captainbollocks]

Put some clothes on you hippy!

[bumchunk3]

Fuckin had 10 cigs through this doc

[freudastaire]

ahahaha i love Michael Bolton's soundtrack around 16 minute whilst Steve Ignorant was talking about "people for the first time had listened him as a human being". marvellous doc, thank u for uploading this, a Crass fan from Portugal

[skinheadfred94]

pooptits

[fightingforourlives]

Shit, this is a gem! Thanks for uploading the full version.

[Rigsbymortis]

penny is quite well-hung

[GargantuanMedia]

Listening to Crass as a furious teenager gave me and mine a direction for our collective outrage against the blinded juggernaut called society that we found ourselves within.

Now, as a cranky 30-something I realize that Crass embodies what I believe is true and meaningful. But, to add to my ever present crankiness, "it" is an ideal that demands constant implementation.

[VideoDaze]

Great docu, nice one

[IIIMPULSE]

thanks for the upload.

[slumpytube]

Could have been three hours long and I would still have watched it again...Crass stood up, were counted, were a threat and left their mark...today the angry are only angry because their Xbox has stopped playing, or MacDonalds has run out of ketchup...so safe, so cocooned, we sold ourselves and are now paying the price...

[TheShadeauPerez]

Story for all Crass fans, Crass is hands down the best punk band there will ever be, ever.

[killalllollipopheads]

So Penny Rimbaud questions "the honesty of pacifism" and then concludes that he is "not a prostitute"??! What my point is here is the guy is a mess, like much of alternative culture, which consists of people (some of them men) thinking they 'testify' to the superiority of their aims by reverting to type, as if clutching their "balls" when talking about violence makes their rebellion more real. And afterwards bickering and pecking at each other like a load of chickens in a coop

[slumpytube]

@killalllollipopheads Penny always said Crass was a bunch of contradictions, that sometimes what you said and what you felt would tear you apart...

[killalllollipopheads]

Not sure what "privatising others sovereignty" means but reminds me of Penny Rimbaud's theory that we are responsible for our own lives, which also reminds me of Ayn Rands idea of radical self-reliance. The make-yr-own-petrol-bombs ethos of Crass is crypto-fascist. The anti-violence of the Menshivist Internationalist Trotsky, a true anarchist, saw quite clearly that a betrayal was occuring; the idea of a working class dicatorship replacing the propertied class is, put simply, a lust for power

[HIPandiDONTmeanHOP]

OF COURSE THEY FUCKING DO!!!!!

[bumchunk3]

@HIPandiDONTmeanHOP What? Owe Us A LIvINg

[ralucagymnast]

Excellent documentary; its so true. Where are todays Steve, Penny and Gee and Eve??Hard to believe that the society which gave us Crass now makes celebrities of the likes of Simon Cowell and fucking Katie Price and puerile drivel like X-Factor; thats truly disturbing and really sad:(

[jn6verse51]

@ralucagymnast

[RRRRRaa]

@ralucagymnast I think Crass and punk were a reaction against the ghastly mainstream of that time, just as today's underground artists react against the ghastly mainstream of our time. So don't give up ;-)

[UltraPic]

@ralucagymnast

No it's not, it's just the same.

[cazprescott9]

@ralucagymnast Just keep your ear to the ground, man. Since I've been checking out music on the interwebs, I've discovered loads of great music of past & present.

[ryansnack101]

Capitalism is still rampant so much so that it is international! Robbing countries of natural resources and privatizing others sovereignty!!!

[1Gsxrider]

wish i could just wander around with no clothes without feeling self obbsessed or awkward ... pennys attitude / lifestyle is f*cking great ... respect !!! ..... love Crass !

[Hewish]

Today is the day of the royal wedding. This film has been a timely and welcome antidote to the hideous display of sycophantic outpourings across the media. Police have been using Section 60 powers to stop and search people without having to give a reason, and Facebook have allegedly been closing down pages that are allied to the current wave of protests against spending cuts. The sequence in this film that shows the royal wedding of 1981 had an unbelievably strong resonance. Thankyou.

[RadioSchizoUT]

Thanks for uploading this.

[Cryptbass]

Really good documentary. Crass is the best group of people that has come out in this lifetime, & taught a lot to a whole lot of people. Hopefully their ideas are still around in peoples mind, in the future.

[TWM2975]

Thanks for posting this here. I saw this some months back on another site and thought enough of it that I watched it three times. You did a great job with this documentary.
