Extreme Noise Terror vs. KLF

[THEsortinet]

Bill Drummond, marry me!

[BrianBlessedsBumhole]

that has got to be one of the best things I've ever seen. Ever.

[cunningstunt19]

"Ladies and gentlemen, The KLF have left the music business."

[meesterlowe]

Some very bemused people in the audience at the end.

[VioletDeliriums]

i love the audience just clapping at the end...HAHA!!!

[leebeyer3]

KLF: trollin' since 1987.

._.

[Vogelfrei777]

Where is the sheep?

[antster1983]

@Vogelfrei777 That was at the after show party. Besides, Extreme Noise Terror were all strict vegetarians at the time and balked at the idea.

[Vogelfrei777]

@antster1983

Ah. Okay.

[elmothesex]

this was awful.

but i like the idea of ruining the brits.

[antster1983]

@elmothesex According to the NME, this was the highlight of the 1992 BRIT Awards, right at the very start of the show :oP

[AMPFEAST]

@elmothesex ruining? they ve never been so entertaining ;-D

[nobodymuch]

wheres the machine guns you cunt?

[BobbyR454]

@nobodymuch Start watching at 2:11 you will see Bill Drummond carrying the machine gun, he starts firing it at 2:28.

[Govanmauler]

Ah memories as a little 16 year old punk , sneering at the pishy brit awards , and then this happens !!!

[nlygoo]

i was in the audience at the hammersmith odeon as this was 'performed' - not a good experience!

[spineway]

@nlygoo you were and are a pussy nerd

[wallerpaul70]

@spineway Grow up

[flaxonx3]

@nlygoo I once unwittingly listened to a Celine Dion record but I don't go searching Youtube to repeat that traumatic experience.

[WhimsicalQuandary]

@nlygoo

I think that might have been part of the point. Crust isn't really supposed to be pleasant.

[madcapoperator]

and the day after slipknot were born...the klf saw the dawn of bad rubbish!

[brightontwit]

this was great. I saw this on TV as it happened and I was well chuffed. i was a huge ENT and KLF fan at the time and could never have thought i'd see them perform together. A few years back I managed to find the genuine KLF vs ENT fan club single of this on Ebay...

[profane1972]

This was probably one of the greatest moment in pop history, right along the moment when Sid Vicious' mom dropped his ashes in Heathrow.

[deighton2002]

yeah right, these record executives were used to the quality of Sam Fox & Mick Fleetwood.

[deighton2002]

yeah right, these record executives were used to the quality of Sam Fox & Mick Fleetwood.

[GINGERALER]

They really shook up those monarchy saturated sour faced scone drunking Brits didn't they!

[mulbarton2]

R.I.P Phil Vane x

[superstaticgirl]

This was a glorious moment in pop history.

[DazMonroe]

For those of you who haven't heard, it is with great sadness to tell you that our great friend Phil Vane passed away in his sleep last Thursday. After spending months at a time on the road with him on the ENT tours, I saw nothing but a good, honest man. Gonna miss you Phil.

PigKiller

[oscarcanterbury]

FUCK YOU YOUTUBE!!!! WHY CAN'T I PLAY A VIDEO WITHOUT IT STOPPING AND STARTING!!!!!!

[foljs]

@oscarcanterbury crap connection?

[trueblueorder]

@oscarcanterbury thats not you-tubes fault, you need a decent Internet connection for the stream to work continuous, so get your hand in your pocket!

[oscarcanterbury]

@trueblueorder I can't it's empty. Apparently i live in an area with a very slow connection. Maybe I was wrong.

[you458again]

thanks, had a dodgy tape recording of this from a john peel show only before

[IAmKrow]

Where can I find the machine gun video?

[Bloodclaatkrabbz]

@IAmKrow: the machine gun part is only about 1,5 seconds long at the end of the song, the guy in the middle fires maybe 10 shots, it's not so easy to spot the muzzle flash with the mostly yellow and red light show.

[Bloodclaatkrabbz]

@Bloodclaatkrabbz: the shooting is at 2:28 to be precise

[xxxseXierIkAF4Grlxxx]

"the KLF has left the music bussness"

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Haha, this is legendary moment! The reaction of the audience was priceless!

[urbandrag666]

I've been looking for this vid for almost 20 years!.... VIVA LA SUBVERSION!

[richievegas01]

@orejapodrida At last, finally seen it! Thanks for uploading this! I don't think it's been repeated on TV. Yeah, the Brits were a black tie event back then, they looked shit scared when Suede played in '93. Shows how clever KLFs subversion was, ITV didn't cut to an advert as they could have done cos the band hadn't done anything offensive. The dead sheep they dumped at the after show part didn't make it on to TV. Wonder how many people saw this go out, was it broadcast live that year?

[Gezoes]

WTF, I only have a shady mp3 of this... thanks for sharing man!

[milkbluemilk]

ha ha ha. at 2:48 those women who are clapping actually look a little scared.

[FCPWHAT]

Watching the audience clapping was the highlight!! So funny.. As if they would've clapped hadn't the cameras been on them!! Long live the KLF!

[simozonelayer]

I loved this track when I was at school/college! totally neat.

[chad0x001]

love how the suits and shirts brigade are all sitting clapping happily at the end. like any of them had a clue what had just happened.

[MJNSEIFER]

The only lyrics from ENT I understand are "3AM Eternal", the only lyrics from KLF I understand are (at 00:35 to 00:37) "We don't care, we're on TV" and (at 01:16 to 01:18) "The K the L the F and the ology".

[FiendishAsshole]

@MJNSEIFER

from the ENT i understand "KLF's gonna rock you!"(at the beginning) and "ANCIENTS OF MUMU!"

[culturedeluxe]

Billy Bragg seemed to love it

[sheisalivewire]

Okay, I must be going blind or watching a completely different video to everyone else because I didn't see any machine guns? Where are they??

[milkkart]

@sheisalivewire look carefully, you can see him holding it from about 2:15 on and he starts firing at 2:28

[SoshoKittycat]

I think it is awesome and hilarious how they all APPLAUDED being shot at.

XD

[scrumdown2007]

LOL I remember this, ha ha At least Billy Bragg liked it LOL and the other miserable executive twats forced Clapping, priceless! ha ha, KLF's Lead singer does a Great Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedy's/Lard) impression ha ha, and he messes up the lyrics ha ha. Oh and to the NON Brits who don't quite understand, I was Revolutionary/Fuck the System/Ironc etc and it was The BRIT Awards. lmfao the fat bitch forced to clap at the end LOL Great Post Love it

[DonTommassino]

Fucking love it. Glad I lived through the KLF, especially nowadays with twats like Damon Albarn who thinks he's a subversive in the music industry. Compared to cunthooks like that, Cauty and Drummond are gods!

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@DonTommassino I loved this too but don't diss Albard, that guy is a great musician!

[tommykopite]

@DonTommassino lol @ cunthooks........haven't heard that saying for years!

[wincekthomas]

Why the fuck are none of these videos synched up? Is because british people are on whole retarded? I mean, jesus christ, thanks for posting all these KLF videos, but please figure out how to work stuff.

[gazwel83]

@wincekthomas

It is BRITISH you uneducated yank.

[pogeroo82]

they should have thrown a bomb in the corwd, that would have been a sight worth watching :)

[arghydoodles]

haha when was this?

[Wigglypops]

Is that Noel edmonds at the end, clapping the loudest of them all

[MoOniEmOnKeY]

The KLF always courted controversy, and this is just the klf being the klf, grandiose, shocking and unique.

They didnt give a shit about rules, about the establishment, they just did what they did best, make great music and make us re-think about pop music and culture. They practically invented dance music, the original pure trance track "what time is love" still sounds relevant today.

For me, the Chill Out album defined them as one of my fav artists, not since equalled.

[drobnyfranz]

crap



[BentleyGriley]

@drobnyfranz You obviously just don't understand. Try some constructive criticism in future to get your point across. "Crap" just implies you are speaking out of your arsehole. This performance changed the Brits. We need another one, it's all gone back round the way of being utter shite again these days.

Bring back The KLF!

[teabagbob]

@drobnyfranz How is this "crap". I remember watching this and I was gobsmacked. The Brits, at the time, was a straight-laced, mundane affair.

This shocked everyone and gave the industry what it needed - a good, hard kick up the arse.

If it wasn't for this performance, we'd still think Tina Turner was "edgey".

[JerkyJudas]

genius - stick it to the man!

[amsinin]

this is a fuckin joke

[00rr1]

It's not about liking the track or music it's about the KLF kicking the music bods up the arse very sex pistols and yes the orig version is great but we are stuck with all this shite RnB because nobody makes a stand anymore !

[posimativelynegative]

Bill Drumond & Jimmy Cauty:

The single greatest combination since gunpowder and matches...

[pockers1]

fucking amazing! I remember watching this at the time aged about 12 sat with my folks thinking WTF?! Once id bought the next weeks melody maker which explained it all i thought ahhh! me old man thought it was very clever haha! The book they did on how to get a number one is brilliant too. Thus explaining The time lords and doctoring the tardis.

[SnuffHunter1]

brilliant, just fcuking brilliant

[mark318i]

ENT - what a joke!!! The KLF did some amazing tunes back in the day, but that was retarded. What's more, ENT are 'hardcore vegans', what a bunch of pussies. They can take their shitty 'grindcore' and shove it up their arses, the original 3AM Eternal was amazing.

[0x777]

Mark, that's the whole point. This isn't what "should" be presented at an award show. This isn't "good" music. This isn't easy listening. This isn't mainstream.

Drummond wanted to express exactly that. But instead of being booed off stage, which would probably have happened if the people there would express what they feel about the music, they got "politely"applauded.

Effing wanking sheeple in the audience! Fuck award shows!

[Jellyform]

@0x777 You see Billy Bragg applauding at the end and he loved it for exactly what it was.

[blindcynic]

@mark318i so being a vegetarian makes you a pussy? and you're the one calling someone else "retarded"...

[gwenithfaen]

Actually the WORST music ive EVER heard !

[lazerjim1]

fucking legendary imagine that shit happening now

[l33tdarkwizard]

Bill is one handsome motherf-. Even with a kilt and limping.

[oktekk23]

I am rofl! so funny! lovin it

[cyrilzero]

how the fuck dies no one in that audience stands up to clap for extreme noise terror??

[pjhamlin79]

Looks like Billy Bragg enjoyed that as much as I did...

[bobmorrice]

wasn't the plan also to use a device that would make the audience shit themselves ?

[octagon79]

They did an entire album together that we will never hear :(

[terrabun]

haha remember watching this.. they scared the living crap out of all the teeny boppers in the audience.. priceless

[Jackiechan39]

KLF were also going to throw buckets of sheep's blood over the audience. But Extreme Noise Terror are vegans & talked them out of it.

[evilintel]

Now THAT'S the way to end a show. Too bad they quit, but I like how they made their exit.

KLF - Kings Live Forever

[pedge50]

"The KLF has now left the music buisness".....the words in the end of this clip.....sad, sad, sad

[Zeptis1337]

and became artists :3

[MJNSEIFER]

@pedge50 Everyone thought that was a joke on the night, but sadly it wasn't...:(

[theworldofjon]

Outstanding !!

[InfinityDose]

yea, wow, real exciting, all those guys in the suits sitting and clapping... really intense... :/

[Spirituality1980]

Didn't see any machine gun firing and the after show chaos?

[nosuchthingasgod]

It starts at 2:28 - he's downstage center but not the guy playing the guitar. You can get a closer look at him at 2:16 - he's got what I think is a cigar in his mouth. The after show chaos - the KLF dumped a dead sheep with the message "I died for ewe—bon appetit" tied around its waist at the entrance to one of the BRIT show after-parties.

[Spirituality1980]

Thanks.

[virtualwill]

I have never seen this before, only read about it, would love to see and hear in food quality, or would that detract... rock n roll

[network909]

KLF were the best!

[itbeganwithadam]

WTF!

[DaBigCheeseLuigi]

2:28

Is where they start shooting.

The music is crap anyway, they're not even singing!

[JeremyPaulCarroll]

yes they are... the film is out of sync with the sound is why it looks wierd

[oakr8r]

OMG THAT WAS SO SHOCKING!!!!

[HellVomit09]

I like hugs.

[oakr8r]

Hey! So do I!!

[HellVomit09]

*hugs*

[tamsinsky]

I don't want to have to watch this through, it gives me a headache. could anybody tell me when they shoot blanks at the audience so I can cut to the chase please?

[zguy1972]

Was this from their Christmas album?

[nolfplayer]

lol

[d90yqv]

is this the worst sort of music ever made?

Yes.

[OMFGTEHNOOB]

@d90yqv

If you are referring to ENT, then possibly. If you are referring to grindcore as a whole, you can go fuck yourself.

[w8fh33dkajlfe99faaa]

a little tear in the fabric. yes. lovely.

[eliotisstillgay]

The guitarists kept fucking up

[archonsod]

The reason it was shocking was because it was the BRIT awards, not that they had a machinegun. Up until that point the awards had been a somewhat straight laced suit and tie affair for music industry executives who were somewhat more used to artists who would shut up and do what they were told. The audience consisted of old school businessmen and serious musicians who thought people like Phil Collins were subversive.

[oHelmslyo]

That was far from "shocking"...in fact that rendition really sucked. A lot.

[charlessale]

Despite all the artistic leanings and all and the pro-vegan shit and all that, they are a truely horrible band.

[mmzero562]

the press finds anything shocking now and days and always did

[GodStink]

Those poor chaps with the long hair need some cough drops :(

[HandsomeVan]

This is the "infamous machine gun scene"? Quite mild by today's standards.

My conclusion: this act did not stand the test of time well.

[cullyvan]

Youre mad. Have a look at what the KLF did. They burnt a million pounds and deleted their back catalogue. They were art. Not shock jocks.

[HandsomeVan]

I read a little about them on wikipedia. There it said this live performance was considered "very controversial" because of the machine gun shooting blanks.

I was curious so I looked it up here on YouTube and guess what, there was a video of it. looking at it I waited for the machine gun scene.

I was not impressed, but that is maybe because I am quite young; I'm only 30. My generation tends not to be so shocked by something like this.

[cullyvan]

Im not shocked either. Maybe the tabloid press were. It was more about their situationist nonsense really. look for stand by the jams , a number one with tammy wynette featuring lyrics about ice cream vans. They really and truly didnt give a fuck but in a playful way, not a nihilist posturing way. Its fun mate. and youre not THAT young :)

[zootsanchez]

lol oldmoaner is olllllllllld

[fatyeti24]

you're "only 30"? im 31 and i remember seeing this as a 14 year old live on tv. the Brit awards as were then had never seen the like, and neither had most of the British public.

[Jellyform]

Yeah because popular artists firing a machine gun at a room full of record executives after a completely insane and unexpected performance and announcing their retirement from the industry is totally normal nowadays lol

[Hounddogg36]

@Jellyform heheheheh

[julucha]

@Jellyform

Best thing ever said in Internet

[FreewheelBurrrnin]

sounds like an angry downs guy is on the mic... this is the shit mainstream jerkoffs associate with metal...thanks ENT!

[pyogenic]

machinegun at 2:30

[neviatha]

haha class....

[malvinasnotfalklands]

is not metal is something.....

[Lasstpak]

Epic sheaps clapping hands cuz they dont know better!

[chuplag]

haha the people there just didn't get it and even more they were clapping? hahaha it was like every single people on the show got the two finger and yet they were clapping, completely unaware of what just happened. Stupid cunts.

[KLF1992]

the best but 1 of the saddest day in music history.first they shove 2 fingers up to the musin industry then they walk away.not before leaving a bin full of blood outside the building.

[PriusRider]

what a shit. Were the mashine guns??

[Jermyn78]

That was class.

[PremeditatedMedia]

"The KLF have now left the music business"...apart from the crap comeback (which seemed to be kinda the point)...They f*cking meant it didn't they? They shall forever hold  the eye of the pyramid.

[dark108x]

The faces at 2:48 are priceless.

[betacrash]

If the dudes from fight club had a band.

[SonofaReaperMan]

I've met Bill Drummond, such a quiet guy and suuuuuuuch an Icelandaphile!

[ThelemicMagick]

Great... great... great...!

Utter brilliance...!

"Immanentize the Eschaton!"

[puertorican1883]

THE ULTIMATE FUCKING ANTI ANTI. I love the KLF would be better if they had a hammer and sickle on an album cover. I swear these guys were in a cult. THEY ROK

[Tennentssuperblack]

KLF were superb!No mattter what anyone says,2 guys from Scotland took the music business by the balls and shook it till they dropped.Much respect to Bill and Jimmy!!

[buddyboy68]

I remember this and i still self satisfy myself now to that shitty audience shitting themselves

[Narcolepticbedwetter]

I have more respect for the KLF than Dead Kennedys these days.

[UncleSlam81]

Haha yeah I know right, atleast not for Klaus, Ray and Peligro. Jello is still hardcore to the bone.

[michaelclarke18]

crap....

[kondziu77]

Amazing :D

[kthdoppelee]

2:28 ..

[rayflute]

Now THAT is Rock'n'Roll!! :D

[GasmaskAvenger]

fuckin' amazing

sadly, this kind of badassery is something the Grammys wouldn't allow

[kthdoppelee]

the KLF have left the business ;-)

[farmer88]

Wow, that was complete chaos, I couldn't understand a word being said, and the audience looked like they had no idea what had just happened.

[blindcynic]

@farmer88 and that's the whole point,obviously. now,unlike the audience,you didn't clap at the end...

[crashthepopularkids]

the audience cut their ears off lol

no moshing and no headbanging

pretty much sucks

[coturnix19]

at 2:18 u can see Drummond holding a machine gun with a cigar in his mouth, and at 2:29 he shoots it into the ceiling

[xThoRr]

i don't see anyone shoot at the audience. was it before or after?

[zazin76]

hahahahaha!!!!!!! some of da audience are stunned and confused! hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

[menospeakyenglish]

WTF?

[centerrightpunk]

funniest shit ever. love KLF AND ENT!

[jasonbigelow]

No finer group than the KLF has ever existed. No greater prank has ever been played.

[wizzardsmith30]

I admit, I really hate death metal, but musically, that was one of the bravest things to do on national television with millions watching. If anything tears down absolutely every barrier, it's that.

[chuplag]

IT'S NOT DEATH METAL! It's Grindcore!

[wizzardsmith30]

Really? What's the difference?

[SimplyElectrifying]

actually this is CRUST PUNK, now it's Grindcore... but still fusion of Crust and Grind.

[makeminea99]

Full battle mode with kilt too, pity they couldn't get live ammo for the night. What a bunch of scum in the audience except billy bragg ofcourse, looking like a very excited school boy there lol.

[kazyukitakase622]

初めまして、日本の「The KLF」ファンの一人です。

以前日本のラジオ番組でこの曲を聴き「The KLF」のファンになりましたが、再び聴くことができてとても嬉­しいです、ありがとうございます。

[centerrightpunk]

english translation? ;-)

[mojojojocliche]

I love the shot of Billy Bragg (is it Billy Bragg?) looking bemused at the end.

[dveking]

Absolutely legendary!

[gopnik666]

Great, i was shocked by this in 1992, i was a fan of both bands then :) Nice mix.

[exoneuk]

Three words: What the hell?

[Bollo2]

and, at 2:38 you can hear Scott Piering (KLF's promoter) announcing over the PA system that "The KLF have now left the music business"
