7 Seconds -- 99 Red Balloons (studio recording)

[GroundFootHeadCloud]

There are a few videos on youtube claiming this exact recording is by AFI. Those people are twats.

[AnimeInterpreter]

Goldfinger's cover of this cover beats this cover's ass...

[sonicismybrawler]

And damn proud of it. Music is property of the people. All because the creators deserve money for it, doesnt mean that we shouldnt be allowed to have it. Ive downloaded music like a "Communist" plenty of times, for my favorite band ever actually, Rush. Did I still buy the album? Yes. Did I still pay to see them live? Yes. Did I STILL pay for waaaaaaaaay too much merchandise while I was there? Damn straight I did. Go ahead and tell me I shouldnt download their stuff, and Ill say fuck off.

[americanbandwidth]

Funny how it's Communist to download music but this is sung by Nazis...Well they're German. They may not be Nazis....They were seen wearing Swatch Sticker.

That Sounds like Swastika.

Ok, so they're not Nazis.

That only Proves my point.

I'm insane.

[GONECRUISING72]

i saw these guys once... great cool...

[HoodwinkedbyanAngel]

@GONECRUISING72 MERRY cHRISTMASS ... long time ...best wishes...

[GONECRUISING72]

@HoodwinkedbyanAngel  merry Christmas and lets hope we all have a great 2012

[AnimeInterpreter]

Eh. Not half as good as the Goldfinger version. Goldfinger owes it to this band though. Without 7 Seconds's version Goldfinger's version wouldn't exist.

[chefkatz]

@Cyclonus21 - I'm 36 years old and this song was a punk anthem when I was in high school. So, I'm going to guess it wasn't ever really relevant to you. Great song, though!

[RRguitaristTC]

guess all my computers a Joseph Stalin

[GregTehGoose]

[brenhampsten]

@GregTehGoose fuck off

[mutilatedpenguin]

@GregTehGoose Its called fucking punk! so fucking piss off

[RRguitaristTC]

@GregTehGoose some one needs to get of this video if your gay, and hate this band, if your gay go to this guys house

[Cyclonus21]

Oh man this video is 4 years old now? That means it was posted up when I was like in 9th grade and now I'm college. I would always come to this particular video and jam to this amazing song like everyday, actually I still do haha.

[Kangabeer]

this song is great even for a bunch of straight edge sausage hiders like 7 seconds!!

[SAINTJIMMYROTTEN]

fuck you i think copyright is shit and i am not a commie fuck i hate commies stupid people

[xXNeosauceXx]

@SAINTJIMMYROTTEN Communism has been proven to work only on a small scale such as in a town or a village, but in a fucking country hell no.

[xerjyo9292]

HH

[TheJayman213]

but wouldn't communism involve us giving something to the people we're taking from? and as long as that isn't the case it's simply theft, not communism.

"if you pirate MP3s, you're pirating MP3s."

[evilficus]

haha i love this stuff

[nkzbigtuna]

What a shorty rendition

[EmaJack99]

the image wins

[nashoog]

this is 7seconds! and they rule! :D

[punkandreggaelover]

whats up with this communism bullshit

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

Communism = Everyone should share their turnips

Capitalism = We should have your turnips, we can give you back more of them

this is why illegal downloading is like communism, these are entirely accurate high level politcal science standard definitions of each politcal movement btw

[XxRusty96xX]

Wow. This really... sucks... GoldFingers version still remains my favorite

[tboneswanson4th]

@Truka666 You're kidding right? Because if you arent, well id break into your house and rip your wife in half (ATHF Movie reference)

[noquedaotroputonick]

long life to the real communism

[Truka666]

this isnt 7 seconds. its Goldfinger

[XxBowieTipxX]

LUFT 88

a reference to Kaiser Wilhelm's plan to bomb London via zeppelin.

read "Hitler Was my Friend" by Heinrich Hoffman

[HalfofHendrix]

They actually ruined a GOOD song

[frankicia]

7 seconds owned this cover.

[loon1994]

I am a true communist so I will illegally download

[Thee9Punk3Martyr]

@loon1994 I like that mentality my friend!!

[Awesome11250]

Mcloving it

[whcfootball4eva]

Any1 want to comment about the music instead of the picture? Lol

[lonewolf060]

then who steals it? the russians. now thats all you fucken see. now emma goldman spoke of making communes and working together pulling your weight and being the exact opposite of what communism or any other government are about... its pretty fucken simple. god damn. and im not talking about just hippy communes, i am saying any group of people who want to live in there own group without any higher powers telling them what to build where to build it, what to grow how to grow it... ect. ect...

[lonewolf060]

what i do is for anarchy, and dont fucken compare the two god dammit im sick of that stupid bull shit people get dumber every day, and those damn commies will try and convince any group of people that they are on their side... the ideals for both were made by completely different people. emma goldman with anarachy, marks with communism. lets take a quick look here... marks a german man creats philosophy on how to live life, called communism causing germany to have a revolution in the 1800's

[Retrojupt57]

In reality no government of any kind can work, human nature prevents us from founding the perfect government they all have to fall some day.

[JhonyHellrocker]

if communism was applicated as it supposed to be it wouldn´t be bad!!!! open your eyes!! even as bad as it used to be, comunism was better than today´s capitalism!! capitalism is just a way to rise an empire with an uunknown leader who earns in a day much more money than a normal person would do in a life!!! and this leader covers your eyes with the lie of democracy and presidents that are choosen by those leaders... and with tv ads that make you think whatever they want you to think.... xD

[stratd00d]

@MrEdgekid

Oh, then I agree!

[stratd00d]

@MrEdgekid

Hardcore isn't about not giving a fuck. It's about playing what you want. Hardcore punk bands work just as hard as any other musician.

[iwannafuku126]

fuck yeah communism!!!!

[redsamureye]

suckish... band is good vocals suck!!!

[lcslate]

@redsamureye its punk dumb ass if you dont like your a pussy or a poser

[slayerdestiny666]

Best Version of this song :D

[thatcanadianpunk]

I think I like this cover better than the gold finger one

[IDoNotUseFlourToCook]

Their's rat bastards in every industry ! I think you need to open your eyes to the bigger picture as to who's who and what's what ! Then you will understand who the rat bastards really are !

[IDoNotUseFlourToCook]

Uh it's called file sharing ! Why did they make dual cassette recorders for tapes ? Apparently to make copies ! Whatever !

[IsChipotleGood]

Thank you Trent

[fahnenflucht88]

this is cool :-)

[jayveeur]

[deki740]

Piracy = Communism? Well as a Communist I shall continue my piracy to spite the Capitalist system.

[FamilyGuyIsTheBomb12]

[erick91402]

They should have sang it in German

[zap1107]

fuck yeahh, i grew up with this song. haha, no clue how i managed to remember every word. god, love it though.

[HazeySeconds]

kicking people in the head to great fucking 7seconds tunes will NEVER die..these little pop emo bitches wouldn't know true fucking punk if it fucked them in there studded belted little asses..what the fuck happened to oxblood docs, the exploited and painting your leather jackets? it's been fucked over by these pussy high school emo fucks

[shaneofastrotek]

lol agreed BRp4e. And this was back in 81 when punk was fresh and real and not pop emo shit like today. And the original german version of this was an awesome original by nina.

Didnt 7 seconds do a skate park tour in the last few years and those saying punk is dead. yeah its sad that REAL punk is dormant but not dead. For instance a great more recent punk band from St Louis was Frankenhookers

[shaneofastrotek]

lol agreed BRp4e. And this was back in 81 when punk was fresh and real and not pop emo shit like today. And the original german version of this was an awesome original by nina.

Didnt 7 seconds do a skate park tour in the last few years

[HappiestKidsYouKnow]

Fuck I can't count.

[bleached102]

I love internet tough guys, such dumbasses. Everyone should all agree that this is a great cover, a lot better than the original.

[superfireserpent]

RIAA are a bunch of FUCKING GREED ASSHOLES!!!!

[HetRodeGevaarVanGent]

Lenin just walked into my room.

[manic1eightyseven]

BEcause this riff is so fucking easy, and this was way better than the Ska version.

[skulldrix]

this is hilarious!

[Fr49f13nd]

really @BRp4e

so hateful to everyone... too bad i'd use your skull for a shithouse . Try again in your next lifetime:)

[BRp4e]

@Fr49f13nd yeah right, I'd straight fucking ghost you mother fucker.

[swiftsfox]

hey you mother fuckers this is 7 seconds i kicked in the side of someones head to this song it is true old school punk and if you dont like it your a bitch and i will kick your head in.

[jodioi]

fuck yeah covers from hairy armpit german bitches

[xXbrutal2juanXx]

woot woot youth crew hardcore fuck yeah ahahah best cover ever!!!!!

[jfisher80020]

This song needs more cowbell.

[CockyR4]

I think I just start liking punk. Altough Im not a genius in punk terminolgy, this classiffies as pop-punk?

[jawallace1991]

@CockyR4 well, this is an 80's hardcore PUNK band covering a POP song... so... technically, yes?

[jawallace1991]

This is by far the best version anyone's ever done this song

[abbyt051O1]

german will sound better for him... but i do like the pic! and i can only find like 5 other ppl who sing this song!

[UTFRG]

absolutly love the picture lol 

[UTFRG]

shoulda sung it in german man

[throwedlol]

brah youre all posers.

[PunkAnarchyV]

how can somebody be that stupid to say this is greenday:-j...billie joe armstrong wish he would sing like this:)...

[chubsters182]

death to all those who compare this to those faggot ass mainstream wanna be punk bands!

[bugsbunnygotshot]

Why are people saying this is greenday and AFI?

[WoodCutKing]

@bugsbunnygotshot because they dont know what music is so they have to talk about the most mainstream bands to try to sound smart.

[JonPaulCarle]

@bugsbunnygotshot on my ipod it afi and when i got it off itunes it said afi..... eh i could be mistaken

[yogurtfarmer]

@jackstrassbach try 1985. I graduated high school in 90 and listened to this album nearly everyday of my 11th grade year. I saw them after they went all progressive and we all begged them to play Regress No Way

[YnoTtfg]

i love that background picture!

[VoorheesFanatic777]

This song was a remake by this band Goldfinger.

[jawallace1991]

@VoorheesFanatic777 You mean it was remade BY Goldfinger

[BarrioPunkRock]

@VoorheesFanatic777 GF formed in 94

7 seconds covered this song in 92 , but the original artist is Nena .. somwer around 84

[jackstrassbach]

@BarrioPunkRock  no 99 balloons was recorded in1995 on the walk together rock together album and played live before that.

[VacantCar]

WTF. why does everyone say this is afi's cover?

[dmanying]

guys. goldfinger fucks this band in the ass on this song. how did this guy get a band together with a voice like that!

[TheLurksSuck]

@dmanying Thats the thing. WIth music where you dont care about anything, you dont have to be good!! Just be as good you feel you need to be. man, read up on Punk rock. It'll make yer day

[warheaddoomripper]

this is badass

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

LOL why do people keep talking about Green Day and stuff like that on this vids?

[sevenseconds27]

PIRATE COMMUNISM?....so COPYRIGHT=FASCISM!

[Kobajashiii]

I remember being drunk and skating to that song.....

good ol' days.

[panbread89]

You have to remember, harcore was made by kids for kids, so they are just kids having fun with other kinds of music. I think that's why it was so much better back then, nobody really cared, if it was good music, then it was good..

[joshiehanson]

the echo makes this song that much better. such a good cover.

[toekneecrass]

! If Greenday is LikE any other band it may be The Incredible Shrinking Dikies Definitely not Kevin & the seconds , BTW I like Billie & greenday just fine !

[chancey]

Seriously, comparing 7seconds to Green day might get you jacked up!!!!

[CrazyDaddy420]

skankin' good times!

[JMort95]

punk covers of shitty pop songs are the best

[yellowdog12]

@JMort95 hay this was never pop.... this was the first cover the pop song is a cover to

[VVilliam360]

@JMort95 SERIOUSLY! Have you heard Vice Squads cover of Katy Perry's song I kissed a girl? Funny just hearing it, & I actually like it!

[kurziieee]

@JMort95 They only covered the melody, they improved the lyrics greatly.

But yeah, turning something corporate into something soulful is the best.

[chilipeppers91]

@kurziieee They didn't improve the lyrics, Nena wrote and recorded this song in both German and English.

[BRp4e]

@JMort95 are u kidding me? 99 red balloons by nena wasnt a shitty pop song dumb ass.

[JMort95]

@BRp4e eh well 24 people agree so w/e, haha go listen to it then

[BRp4e]

@JMort95 yeah, 25 little pre pubescents who know jack shit, good job, you have 25 little fucks who like what you said because they think they are hardcore. If the song was so shitty 7 seconds wouldn't have done a cover of it.

[JMort95]

@BRp4e thank you for enlightening me great master! how may i repay you?

[1joel8]

@BRp4e LOL thats why the covered it, sarcasm lol

[StayGoldHC]

@BRp4e

yea it was. fag

[BRp4e]

@StayGoldHC lol, go play hardcore somewhere else boy.

[AlternativeYouthTv]

@BRp4e Sadly it was.

[CoRkSkr3w]

I'm sorry this is terrible lol, good song that this band ruined =[

[ssgdigital]

@CoRkSkr3w screw you hippie, 7 seconds is pure punk

[CoRkSkr3w]

@ssgdigital

Hippie lol, that's the beat you have? I listen to throwdown, hatebreed, bury your dead, five finger death punch, not hippie music, this is not punk. It's garbage and your garbage for liking it.

[jawallace1991]

@CoRkSkr3w You're so cool for listening to such mainstream, creativity-devoid bands! Maybe, since your bands are so much better than this "garbage", you shouldn't be on here purely to talk it down! The only thing dumber than a troll is someone who does the work of a troll seriously.

[CoRkSkr3w]

@jawallace1991

Wow seriously your so cool for pointing that out, it's too bad this isn't an original song, so this is a creativity devoid band, and all mainstream sings about are relationships and drugs. Yeah, and metal is devoid of creativity, try listening to a song. I'm on here because I'm a fan of this song, and after hearing it didn't like it. I was not talking to you, so shut your twat and stick a needle.

[AmericaDevil]

@CoRkSkr3w Maybe you should listen to other songs by 7 Seconds, because they're a lot more punk than anything you listen to, of course this is just a cover.

[CoRkSkr3w]

@AmericaDevil

Probably because I don't listen to punk, punk is for people who think their "rebels"

[AmericaDevil]

@CoRkSkr3w Oh I see, and you're too cool for that? You gotta rebel against the rebels!

[CoRkSkr3w]

@AmericaDevil

No I'm just not a poser, I listen to music for

Me, theres no such thing as expressing yourself it's all just for attention. Tell

Me why you would listen to something other tha to listen to it or to pump you up?

[punkrockdrummer]

@CoRkSkr3w Maybe because you enjoy the style of music, poser

[CoRkSkr3w]

@punkrockdrummer

Whatever faget, just pretend your not.

[DoctorDoom13]

@CoRkSkr3w Not a poser then, just ignorant. Music can be functional, for events or to make money or entertain or whatever, or music can be nonfunctional, but that gets us into the insanity of 20th century composers. At any rate, you can listen to music for you, but some people do it as an emotional outlet. Maybe they were abused; maybe they're in the closet; whatever the reason, music is the only way they can express themselves safely. SO PISS OFF.

[CoRkSkr3w]

@DoctorDoom13

I love when people say ignorant, because it's not an insult why don't you give me what you think it is and we'll see who the ignorant one is

And you tell me it expressed them..tell me what wearing all black and smoking expresses besides bullshit please

[DoctorDoom13]

@CoRkSkr3w And therein lies your problem: not everything needs to be an insult. Calm down and move on.

[CoRkSkr3w]

@DoctorDoom13

Exactly you used ignorant and have no idea what it means, and you also avoid answering it. Nit to mention your a hypocrite because I was never talking to you, you decided to butt in.

[DoctorDoom13]

@CoRkSkr3w A publicly placed placed comment can be answered by any user. If you have something personal to say, send a message.

[CoRkSkr3w]

@DoctorDoom13

Yeah your making a lasting impression by once again failing with a definition, as much as you can say it, it doesn't make you sound smart.

[rapeandpilage138]

@CoRkSkr3w ur.......gay 

[misfitsandhippos]

i went to their show in sacramento in 90 wow im old school lol oh btw misfit fiend for life!!!!!

[DeathcoreIsNotMetal]

I buy all my music and I'm a Communist. Is that a conflict of interest, no. Either way, pirating music is stupid.

[MrTacobeans]

@DeathcoreIsNotMetal Why buy music? Let the corporations make more money? Support the band by going to the shows. Its not pirating, its sharing.

[Arjunajim]

I think the poster kills!!! if you don't get it, you might be irony deficient.

[miscriant]

oh yes..........

[czechphile]

David's got me listening to punk rock now... oy... what else is next? moshing?

[czechphile]

David's got me listening to punk rock now... oy... what else is next? moshing?

[misfitsandhippos]

@czechphile in my punk rock days it was slam dancin

[Seligsuper]

I just pirated this song.

[drogaz1]

That poster is probably one of the most bizarre ant-piracy ads I've probably ever seen. It looks like the collision of the McCarthy era and the New Millennium.

[sexyasian101]

Ya RENO PUNKS

[roseman1234]

@sexyasian101 Hell ya Reno punks for life

[bigguy8093333]

need more cowbell!

[dizzyisme]

[hansel240]

[DanteWhite]

all hail communism!! anarco-communism!! fuck the state fuck capital!!!
