Βασικά μου τη σπάνε όσοι κοροιδεύουνε τα ελλατώματά των αλλων,ενω αυτοι δεν ξερουνε ουτε καν πως εχουνε κατι τετοιο,σχετικο κι αυτο.Σημασια εχει να αγαπας τον εαυτο σου χωρις να περνας μονοτερμα στην αυταρεσκεια.

[Monsieurjupiter]

j'adore!

[coachbk1]

The Monks are very unique  in the history of rock music!

[pataphysician66]

Yay for YT for exactly this reason- groups like The Monks could not have gotten the kind of exposure they deserve. More people need to listen to them!

[cohenfs]

Came up in my Pandora station, "Egyptian Tomb" (a tune by Mighty Baby and the seed for the station). Fascinating story. Wild music!

[JRCrowley]

[tuansetan]

Punk before punk!

[LOSTPRATT63]

[rzepatowarzywo]

Czad, punk dziesięć lat wcześniej!

[raskaskoneisto]

Wow. I heard of the Monks for the first time just today, and am totally impressed by their music. Progressive as hell, for their time.

[mewrth]

Gary just has such a killer voice, and Larry the best sounding Philicorda on Earth.

[OneRadRudeboy]

needs some MOSHING

[DeGoile]

the boy on the right side at 2:09 really likes it

[whato1986]

Anyone think that Dave Day looked like Matt Sharp?

[dannyboy5678]

Awesome!

[MCWaxMax]

@hebneh: Maybe you usually use drugs to increase your mood in dancefloors, but in my opinion you can't simultanously enjoy this musik, drugs and your life... think about it! This is not the time for drugs any more...

Second thing: Everybody can here it from the text, that there is an "it" in.

[fakeswede]

yeah, it's definitely fantastic to have this obscure gem available. and live, at that, in their natural habitat!

love the yodel, the repetitive Bo Diddley-esque groove and snap. the keys, the freaky getup and the bopping German kids...

Priceless

[hebneh]

No, sweetheart, it's "Oh, How To Do IT Now," not "Oh, How To Do Now."

Maybe this is "Susan", who George Harrison described in "Hard Day's Night" as "that posh bird who always gets everything wrong".

On the other hand, I admit that English is not her first language.

Regardless, this song needs to go on for about 15 minutes more, with the dance floor mostly dark except for various weird lights, and everybody on drugs. Then its true power would come through.

[Langstreckenlauf]

Great!

5 star

[MattHatter]

THIS JUST IN!!!! The Monks documentary will be released on DVD on Feb. 27th, 2009 but is available at Play Loud! Productions online store NOW!

[enemyindisguise]

[MartyGunn]

seeds

[conceptionblues]

r.i.p. dave day :(

[zombiereagan]

This video alone justifies the existence of YouTube. True greatness is never appreciated in its own time; it's good to see The Monks have not gone forgotten.

[rubendeleeuw]

Man! I goofed; was watching the video and wanted to give you thumbs up but pressed thumbs down.....sorry!!!!

'cause I couldn't agree more!!

[InteriorCommando]

Just when you think you've seen it all... Too cool!Thanks for this awsome vid.

[Capillus]

This is brilliant, I never expected to watch footage with the Monks! Way ahead of their time (Cobra Killer sampled "Oh, how to do now" in its entirety - today's bands are mostly thieves...)

[Huelsenbeck]

Check out the brand new trailer to the up-coming German theatrical release to the documentary film "monks-the transatlantic feedback" (Kinostart 4.10.2007). All the wonderful Beat-Club footage is in the final film in pristine quality.

[Woofers67]

Love the monks!@!

[1974rail]

oh ya

[ysbeidiau]

The most essential thing on Youtube. It's Monktime!

[bzzzbzzz]

THANK YOU, VERY VERY MUCH
