Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles (Live 1979)

[PrettyVacantsWay]

Jello has something really attracting...he's hot, duh...

[tooluberallem]

whos Jack Black

[Gravyballs2011]

I like the DK but Jello should've just worn a shirt. He's no Iggy.

[Steezypartyboy]

Jello wasn't on drugs haha! Weirdly enough.. 

[rockroadtodublin]

Its kind of ironic listening to a song about jerry brown from the 70s and he is now californias governor once more, i wonder what jello thinks

[JSS62N]

There is an interview with Jello on California Report dot org strangely enough on just that...

[abottixx]

@therealdloc punk rockkkkkkkk

[abottixx]

@threaldloc punkrockkkkkk

[hendrix7755]

he must be on some form of psychedelic drug...

[The4micacid]

@hendrix7755 Ya Think?

[hendrix7755]

@The4micacid haha :)

[thesituation12424]

is the singer mentally stable

[DamnedGamers]

@thesituation12424 of course he's not!

[suicidesnowman14]

@thesituation12424 he ran for mayor

[WizardTaco123]

jello you are so fucking weird <3

[sonickage]

don't really understand what is so bad about jerry brown? from what i've read he was actually a pretty good govna

[BadReligi0nFan69]

ahhh. doesnt this sound also like Rick Perry?

[MrMansonlover666]

lol this band kinda reminds me of soad

[MeTaLxAmErIcAxXx]

@MrMansonlover666 especially of their originals in the late 90's lmfaooo ik exactly what your talking about 

[cheesydarkside]

the singer is Jello for god sake,.

[tacomonster75]

the guy looks crazy

[GYJones]

Absolute classic - just stay away from that Mic Lead Jello!

[littleweloosmom]

Jello for President 2012.

[XxNomac]

@EatingABombs No Jack Black looks like the singer

[A5TROZOMBIE]

:36

Looks like they gave Jello an A-Grade mic.

[AFROTC14]

Jello is on LSD... Like for real.

[GrandMasterTRS]

He looks like on drugs but still a great f*cking song

[adolfGoooglification]

cursed by his own hubris.

[mradamcooley]

6025 is the best member ever.

[aspectra]

All these years later, and California still doesn't get it. Jerry Brown is Governor again, Ed Lee tries to fix and election, Jean Kwon is so bad people are petitioning a recall.

[bonesstorage]

i liked the bit at the end

[Trimbler00]

I can't believe Jerry Brown is governor again 

[weseyedwalk]

@Trimbler00 burn CA once Jerry's bad - burn it twice CA bad for voting for him,, AGAIN !

[Mechanecro]

@Trimbler00 This song just came to life again.

[poopoopedoopify]

@Trimbler00 Jerry Brown Town, give it to em.

[deskducker]

@Trimbler00 You know in Oregon they recycled their Gov. as well. The founding fathers would wonder why we haven't taken up arms already.

[massnerder1]

@Trimbler00 why not hes a liberal fuck he just passed the dream bill.I'M sure all you left wing faggot's are creaming in your panties ,also hes a liberal so this song makes no sense

[canuckleful]

@massnerder1 This song came out before he was a liberal.

[toliveindiscontent]

@canuckleful I am not Biafra historian, but... But his lyrics always seemed to take a more nihilistic, absurdist and leftist social outlook. It seems to be he was just weary Brownesque "laid-back" liberals who would be willing to use force and coercion to impose their outlook. For example, I hate McDonalds, I refuse to ever go there; but it would be a bad direction for the Government to ban the store and shut them all down. McDonald's dying would be good, but that approach would be tyrannical.

[cliquehop]

@massnerder1 hi youtube troll massnerder1 ! you have now won the juvenile douchebag award of the day! what are you going to do now?

massnerder1: "I'm gonna go fuck myself!"

Yaaaaaay!

[rwoods2k]

@Trimbler00 thats what you get when you mess PRESIDENT BROWN!

[heroesandcons09]

@Trimbler00 YOU DON'T QUESTION OUR FURER JERRY BROWN ITS OFF TO TO THE HAPPY SMILE CAMP FOR YOU. no but in all seriousness I agree hes like a liberal faciest coming from me as a register democrat I hate.

[CY0PS]

@Trimbler00 No kidding. I guess after Swartz anything goes

[FadingVitals]

i still have the great Giger Poster from the Album

[massshysteria]

HAHA 0:45 he pulls out the mics chord on accident and puts it back in

[kurt52073]

What is this weird two guitar line-up?

[EatingABombs]

I know this is off subject. Butfor a few moments the singer looks like a skinnier Jack Black in the face,lol. Great song.

[asinglespeck]

@EatingABombs or the other way around

[EatingABombs]

@asinglespeck Agreed.

[ashleytoashes13]

@EatingABombs Really??! I was thinking Jello looks like a relative of Seth MacFarlane lol

[eduardo172a]

@EatingABombs Thank you!

[xstremepageofaubrey]

@EatingABombs Singer's name is Jello Biafria you idiot. 

[reincarn8tion]

I didn't know they had a different drummer

[CharveI]

what a pile of fookin shite

[masterchefstan]

It's 1979 and a punk rock concert for God's sake! Every see Minor Threat in 1981? The crowd would sing the lyrics because the owner would turn off the electricity!

[temp960]

gotta love a crazy fucker !!!

[JimmySmithNCK]

Jello reminds me of a mix between GG Allin and Michael Jackson

[0MULCH0]

@JimmySmithNCK GG an Elvis hahah

[hoxtontom1]

Yes. Maybe Jello became too political. To my taste. On other hand, noone is protesting against France and Holland bombarding innocent people in Libia e.g. We need Dead Kennedys and The Exploited to protest against killing us, the people who don't have the power. Fuck the USA, fuck the bankers, fuck capitalism, fuck communism!

[XxhrdcrpunkxX]

Who is the other guitarist?

[arebecause0]

JERRY BROWNS GONNA FUCK US LIKE HE DID BACK THEN!!!!!!

[hoxtontom1]

If u doint believe me: see Exploited, Fck the usa :)

[Timetrooper1000]

@hoxtontom1 Who gives a fuck about those nationalist cartoon punk idiots.

[arebecause0]

@hoxtontom1 FUCK THE EXPLOITED THAT BAND CAN EAT A SACK OF BABY DICKS!!!!!!!

[hoxtontom1]

It's not bout left or right. It's bout thinking for yrself .. what punk is bout. Kill yr idols, kill yr leaders

[lesterclaypool1]

@hoxtontom1

That's what Punk was about, but Jello became political.

[pixnstix]

@lesterclaypool1 Jello BECAME political? I think he was born political. The DKs were always an outspoken leftist band from their formation in 1977.

[lesterclaypool1]

@pixnstix

They were an outspoken band, I wouldn't label the band's opinions on any given subject political. Band's like DK asked you to think about and consider things, Jello TOLD YOU to vote.

[HollywoodWags]

Yes they have...wonder if Jello has seen the facts yet...my guess is that he is so wedded to leftist crap the he won't....yes, let's folle the Horth Korea and Cambodia model...how horrible and fucked that is.

But it's what they wanted. This kind of anti-capitalist shit. how would Jello like to sing through a North Korean PA? He woudl fuckin hate it.

Sick bastards. Fuck the leftists.

[alexeis66]

@HollywoodWags This song and Holiday in Cambodia are about the betrayal of the Socialist ideal and the Left, you idiot. But we've got bigger problems now.

[HollywoodWags]

@alexeis66 They reflect the reality of you Socialist ideals...it's how that crap works bud...cheers. Take your Socialist ideals are move to North Korea. Moron communists are wanted their to make grass and weeds soup.

[Blomquist23]

@HollywoodWags Fuck you slag. Eat a lightbulb and take a nap.

[GalacticWolf]

6025 Carlos Cadona is the dude jamming the les paul

[targetvideo77]

Another targetvideo shoot at the Mab in SF shot by Joe Rees

[MicMacGrass1]

How many guitarists are on that stage???

[thrashindastreets76]

@MicMacGrass1 not enough

[aandfriends]

@MicMacGrass1 2

[MicMacGrass1]

Right On! This is Great! In the 'infacy'. Thanx!

[renee17ipa]

JELLO!! JELLO!!!!FODA!!!!

[renee17ipa]

FODA!!FODA!! CADÊ MINHA BOLACHA BRANCA PÔRRA!!!!!?

[Misfitspunk1023]

@kadeshlemort I gotta agree. Fuck the beatles

[frijolJT]

DKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDKDK­

[khoroshoorange]

36 people are zen facsists.

[VeveVikingo]

Jello likes wireless microphones XD

[MCDMars]

Wonder how Jerry Brown reacted...

[weseyedwalk]

@MCDMars like an asshole would react. Dead Kennedy's tried to warn us about him and stupid California voted for him AGAIN, wtf?

[catscatscatz]

@weseyedwalk You realize that the Dead Kennedys were really, really left wing, and eventually in the 1990s came out and said they actually really liked Jerry Brown, right?

[weseyedwalk]

@catscatscatz I have a hard time believing Jello Biafra was that stupid, I think he has fooled you. Ha ha. sucker. Remember what he did to the liberal Diane Feinstein as a prank? If you think about it he wasn't really left wing, he was more anti-stupid, which in a lot of ways is anti-left wing. Ya see left and right are irrelevant, it's more about up or down.

[dihydrohydroxycodein]

@weseyedwalk

Jello Biafra is more the New-Left type from what I can judge, and they were very anti-liberal. At some point they hated Liberals more than conservatives (was the 60s remember) because they felt betrayed (Vietnam etc.)

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein yeah, I think your right on, look, nobody has a monopoly on doing stupid things, so loyalty to a word, or title, is meaningless. Biafra was too smart to be played by these 'neo-liberal' or as some people call them 'neo-cons', funny depending on who you talk to. It's so confusing these days. liberal and conservative change their definitions depending on continent/country, what year/decade, it's all relative. those words don't define.

[dihydrohydroxycodein]

@weseyedwalk

These labels are constructs and meaningless and more importantly, confuse people, so they can't talk about say, socialism No one knows what socialism is. Maybe you know it from 60 years of corporate/state propaganda that Russia was socialist. It was the exact opposite but the two powers agreed on this. The one for demonizing socialism, the other for the prestige, because the moral force was strong in Russia before Lenin returned. The left-right labeling is even more obscure.

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein Socialism, true socialism, I believe is impossible with human corruption, as for U.S.S.R., it was communist, Leninism is what scares me, it's all a wolf in sheeps clothing. In a 'socialist' or communist society the rich are in power, but they are a small few. We saw the U.S.S.R. fall because of the Russian mafia running the country.  What I am against is people controlling other people beyond their right to do so. I believe in rights an freedom.

[dihydrohydroxycodein]

@weseyedwalk

There have been truly socialistic/anarchic periods (Spanish Civil War...), that is worker's control over production.

I think Marxism-Leninism is very dangerous. The concept of a Vanguard Party to rule over the stupid masses, later called commisars. When Lenin gained power he destroyed the true socialism that was developing there, like Soviet councils, self-management.

Marxism itself is more like a religion. Marx had good ideas, but MarxISM is stupid. Can you think of Bakuninism?

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein Yes, your right, socialism will not work because it will turn into Leninism/communism, humans cannot have so much power, absolute power corrupts absolutely. The best is to be as far from tyranny as possible, yet we need the constitution to keep us safe from even society, (slavery cannot be voted in). anarchy/socialism is different than a state run socialism. The U.S. is a hybrid of socialism/republic/democracy. I think we need to work out some bugs yet.

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein If your taxes instead of going to other countries in the billions instead went (a certain %) into an account like unemployment that would be delegated for medical expenses that would negate the need for our socialized medical care in Obamacare for example which is hurting job growth, we could set up a means to provide medical for ourselves without forcing people to buy something from the government. It's likes a public savings insurance account, always there job to job.

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein I don't believe that hurting jobs by taxing the job makers in such a progressive growth choking scale is going to pay for anything, it will only lower tax revenue since more people don't have jobs thus less people are able to pay taxes, yet require the same expenses, like protection of the military, medical expense, education, fire dept. police, etc. If you look at Ireland, they have grown in jobs because they have promoted companies to locate production there by less tax.

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein If anarchy means the people in control than I want as close to anarchy as possible without abolishing the constitution and declaration of independence

[dihydrohydroxycodein]

@weseyedwalk

Will send you a longer PN in the future. If you are interested. I get much information about these issues from Noam Chomsky. Always impressing to watch him here, you learn so much. About anarchism: watch?v=pW7nnLNANtQ

[weseyedwalk]

@dihydrohydroxycodein sure

[shermandoaks]

JB almost looks like young Charlie Sheen but without the drug addled nincompoopieness.

[delonge5000]

now i see why henry rollins wraps the cord around his fist

[tamaria6564]

Non sensical bandwagon jumping yanks with no direction and only the long haired losers that are the ramones to follow. How sad

[djs909]

Listen to this. And then listen to Prodigy.

[richarddiazri]

he was micheal jackson before micheal jackson (the glove)

[HollywoodWags]

It's crazy to think Jerry Brown is back being the goddamn governor of Caleefornia...what a joke of a state.

[OppositesEverything]

@HollywoodWags If we're lucky the Dead Kennedys will make a comeback.

[80sOGRE]

@OppositesEverything their still going just without Jello.

[wonderlin1]

@HollywoodWags You mean the state that has had 2 hollywood actors as governors?

[HollywoodWags]

@wonderlin1 Yes, that state, the one with Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinswine, and Moonbeam Brown giving a ton of borrowed money to illegal aliens. That state is fucked.

[Hashplant47]

@HollywoodWags Well and truly fucked, the radical socialists have seen to that.

[wonderlin1]

@HollywoodWags You mean the state that has over 2 million people in jail - wasting taxpayer's money's so some private Co.'s can make money & then be sure to give some of it back, as campaign contributions?

[gamerchico1]

0:36 Jello's microphone cord fell off!! But he kept on singing, the show must go on!!

Dead Kennedys are badass!!

[sirchrigi]

here you go mate i lend you an "Ü, ü" so you can put into the title ;) awesome video btw....

[infowazz]

NOW IT IS 1984 KNOCKING ON YOUR FRONT DOOR.....he's right.

you are the resistance.

[caesar349]

And people thought Rage Against the Machine were political. F them. DK was so many levels deeper

[TokenLander]

Jello looks kinda, I don't know, kinda out of place in there.

[Ham701]

Screw the Charlie Sheen drug, I want to know what Jello was on before this.

[Dan2000]

Mellow out or you will pay!!

[Bypson]

[Billswiftgti]

[BarrioPunkRock]

@misfits765 nobody knows hes a lesbian

[eatmeimsteak]

what the fuck is jello on during this...

[mariodmp2]

he looks like he had cocaine before this lol

[NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

every live clip i see of DK, jello is having major problems with his microphone : /

[las10plagas]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2

those nifty fans pull on his cable. they need to bekicked in their faces.

hmm... didn't I see this happening at "holiday in cambodia" ? :D:D

[lesterclaypool1]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2

There used to be a drinking game about Jello's microphone usage, wish I still had the printout.

Anyway, it was a pretty standard game, y'know? Take a shot everytime the head if the mic goes in Jello''s mouth. Take a shot everytime he approaches the mic and can't find it to sing into. Down the whole bottle if he unplugs the cord from the mic.

I've never played the game, I'm not much of a drinker, but someone gave me a copy of the rules in the long ago pre internet times.

[cosmodyseeus]

its cuz he moves around so much but hey the theatrics are se essential

[TELAFREAK10121122334]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2

Hey m8 that's the 70's for ya... Shitty tech! ;)

[canuckleful]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2 Haha, that's true too!

[canuckleful]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2 The mioc works for the governemnt, and doesn't like the truth.

[OpakeArawra2]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2 i think the microphone was having major problems with jello

[puncheroo]

[skazhy]

[xXblo0dPh0En1Xx678]

[bigdTE71or44]

@pimpinaniteasy97 yeah I love Dead Kennedys but i love it even better when people dont talk like Southern Hicks like you did saying Dat instead of That and saying Dem instead of Them

[24GenerationX]

I hope 36 are dead

[DannyDeth2]

Hahahaha I love how jello throws out that Nazi salute in the end :D

[12boz12]

I can not believe that micheal jackson ripped off jello in wearing a glove, I have now lost all my respect for micheal, He could be dead now for all i care....

[125jerkinmygerkin]

swear to god jello looked like jack black for a little bit xD

[targetvideo77]

[eddybeerhouse]

jerry brown



[tamaria6564]

gay crap. music for kylie minogue fans and drag queens. try looking up real punk

[MetallicaLuver898]

@tamaria6564 how in the hell is this gay crap? my guess is that u have bieber fever and have 2 talk bad about good influential bands, just to make yourself feel better

[tamaria6564]

@MetallicaLuver898 who did the deadbeat kennedys ever influence? and yes justin and me go back a long way he is such a breath of fresh air in this stale and turgid pop trash teeny bop bullcrap scene. ching ching

[MetallicaLuver898]

@tamaria6564 well jackass, im pretty sure that NOFX and The Offspring have listed them as an influence and they are pretty damn popular but they must be dead beats to you 2. my guess is that you just cant handle the lyrics of the kennedys and honestly they dont give a fuck if someone liked them or not, they were just about sending their message out someway. Besides you CANT get MORE REAL PUNK than the FUCKING DEAD KENNEDYS!!!! so as they say, "FUCK OFF NAZI PUNK!!!!"

[deekante]

@tamaria6564

You,sir,suck panda scrotum.

[tamaria6564]

@deekante yes indeed i do and you sir are a philosopher of the highest magnitude and im always open to constructive critisism.

[deekante]

@tamaria6564

Yup.

[Ambrosious128d]

@tamaria6564 Define "Real Punk"?

[tamaria6564]

@Ambrosious128d pistols, exploited, gbh, damned, etc etc. all brit bands

[Ambrosious128d]

@tamaria6564 Ha Sex Pistols sold out the exploited went from punk to metal. damned are good. but the Dead Kennedys are actually intellegent. it's not all just "fuck the usa!".

[tamaria6564]

@Ambrosious128d ok point taken. thats not my opinion about usa i just dont rate kennedys but thats just me

[Ambrosious128d]

@tamaria6564 understandable. i just america was kinda underrated on music. when its understandable with all the shit we came out with

[bojanks15]

@tamaria6564 wheres the clash they are ten times better than those, you are just saying this shit cuz its an american band, and you got korn on your favorites so your opinion already void

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only the likes of bands such as THE DEAD KENNEDYS and EARTH CULTURE that have restored my faith in kick ass honest music!! 

[nge1301]

@sexyEmma4u restored? their from the time where all music was honest.

[Chayse88Black]

Goddamn I fucking love Jello he's so fucking crazy, I'd love to see the assortments of drugs he did before this show haha.

[MrRudePunk]

I would of loved to been there at mabuhay gardens to see the Dead Kennedys play live.

[60hojitas]

moments earlier he had his hand up a cows arse.
