Mushroomhead - Fox 8 News Clip

[Slipknotx19]

I'm only about as old as this video and I'm CONSTANLY being told that the music I listen to is wrong by people around me. Honestly I just wanted to get one thing out here: If this is wrong, then what is right?

[lanerollerblader]

that principle is a dumbass we should listen to who ever we want and represent who we want i would rather be suspended than turn my mushroomhead t shirt inside out

[stewy1897]

0:16 is that schmotz wearing a paintball mask?

[jpopson43]

@stewy1897 No. Definitely not.

[stewy1897]

@jpopson43 I think I remember him wearing one for a short time

[jpopson43]

@stewy1897 Yes, he DID wear one for years. That isn't what you asked! You asked if that was him at 16 seconds into the videos...and I said it is NOT. It IS Schmotz in the first couple seconds of the videos if you look quick...he is wearing the paintball mask. The guy doing the short interview at 16 seconds in is definitely NOT Schmotz...and he is about twice his size! Trust me.

[stewy1897]

@jpopson43 oh thanks

[JollyJaneVoorhees]

lmao @ Mushroomhead being a drug reference. Censorship is NOT a substitute for good parenting!

[F50Italia]

LMAO Your whole society is built on a foundation of lies ! Funny but True

[juggalojack13]

[cobhc666904]

[SuperPlanet13]

Fuck schools.

[bayerhead]

Rootstown was my school : ) i remember when this happened and everyone from my school that attended the next shroom show got a free shirt that had the same image on it inside out if they showed their school i.d.

[HeavyMetalLinebacker]

Those 3 students are my heros!!! MRH 4 LIFE!!!

[Shinhaquro]

So.... The folks in Fox news /just now/ learned about slam dancing and 'shock rock'? Damn... way to stay on top of trends people.

[jpopson43]

@Shinhaquro Ummm, this video is nearly 13 years old!

[Shinhaquro]

@jpopson43 And slam dancing and shock rock are roughly 30 years old, which was the point I was making. ;-)

[F50Italia]

Otis is right at the end. I also lol'd. Jmann forever

[killswitchengageksw]

J MANN  i miss that fucker in mushroomhead

[MrHellion159]

this channel is full of shit! they don't know shit about metal!

[juggalojack13]

Drug reference? Bullshit, it's a sexual reference.

[nuclear7warpig]

"your whole society is built on a foundation of lies!"

hahaha!

[greentallica]

how old is this?

[jpopson43]

@greentallica  It's from 1998.

[bammachinima]

1:15 its Solitare Unraveling :D

[erbtopia]

Mushroom head is a referance to a dick not mushrooms. stupid principale

[Halo2ineedhelp]

lol ohio did somthing right for once im proud to live in cleveland now

[GunJack4444]

pricipal is stupid we can wear whatever we want its free world

[smrtsk8er]

I always thought the name Mushroomhead was reference to Mushroom clouds from nuclear bombs, which could be a connection with their military outfits, but now that he mentions it as a drug reference i dont know what to think.

[13anonymous37]

@smrtsk8er Its a reference to the head of a dick

[smrtsk8er]

@13anonymous37 That also makes sense

[DethmetalUSA]

for all those people saying waylon is apussy compared to J-mann get this, b4 jmann left, he recommended the rest of mushroomhead to replace him with waylon!

[numbuh1jaffe]

waylons an ass and a dumbass compared to jmann but w.e he makes good music

[Atonil]

What a great story

[OhioHeathen]

Waylon, the singer that replaced J-Mann, is from North Carolina

[furyberserk]

@OhioHeathen Didn't know that! Hell Yeah! I wonder what other artists are from my home state. Nobody gives a rats ass about NC.

[954isme]

@furyberserk hell yea fuck NC

[TheKosuko213]

i swear the lead singer had a southern accant dude not in this interview

[rayne1326]

Back in '97 I saw Mushroomhead for the first time at The Machine in Massilon Oh and have been a fan ever since. I got suspended from school earlier that day for not turning my Marilyn Manson shirt inside out cause the principal thought it was "satanic". the principal in the clip reminds me of that douchebag.

[MrBowskii]

hahaha mushroomhead isnt a drug reference but a sexual reference get it right!!!!! :P

[mushroomheadlover84]

fuck that dude who made them turn there shirts inside out not every one is going to be into rap or that god fucking pop bull and lets not for get that faggot country music they love so dear.give us mushroomhead or give us war.mushroomhead kicks fucking ass.give3 them time they will take over the world

[disturbedspider]

[jpopson43]

@disturbedspider Yes, I have it...but only on vhs. I only uploaded the Mushroomhead section onto my computer years ago. Gwar actually got about twice as much on-screen time as the Mushroomhead piece is. Sorry.

[disturbedspider]

@jpopson43 well it kind of makes sences seeing as Gwar is bigger then Mushroomhead

[theunansweredone]

haha rootstown.. i know that place

[00daathmetal00]

anyone else notice the news reporter who thinks hes oderus urungus's best friend says "mushroom" is heading the local.......... not mushroomhead

[Gaarnek1994]

they also played born of desire and other songs in those years (96-98)

[MrLawlhi]

I was suprised, for a Faux news report I was expecting "OMG THEY ARE SATAN THEY AR EKILLING YOUR CHILDREN LETS BURN THESE FUCKERS". but this really wasn't that bad.

[TheMarkshot]

fuck u drug reference my ass

[XxMuShRoOmHeAd16xX]

drug reference? B.S!

[KEVINAKAKEVO1]

man fuck that school!Mushroomhead all the way!any ways they aint like that no more.now they are just pure kickass metal band

X X

\llll/

[666Emerica]

i remember getting kicked out of a web page design class for making a mushroomhead fan site. the teacher thought it was a drug reference and said get out of my class you mushroomhead lmao

[slipknotboy555]

Thanks for uploading this!!! I've been a MH fan for a while but had never heard J Mann just talk before

[tapdancingtess]

the best times of my youth was spent going to see Mushroomhead play, amongst tons of other local metal bands!

hell yeah!

[synicalenigma]

OMFG! refference to drugs? lol.

[1488Bio]

spongebob squarepants got taken out of my school (when i was in school)because he had bulletholes...

[julop95]

what is the first song that plays?

[gmann37088]

@julop95 not sure the name but it is on the self title

[moiUnenlagia]

The wrist I think.

[slipknotboy555]

Not to be a dickweed, but really guys? The first song is "The Wrist" then the ending to "Bwomp" please tell me you're not one of those Waylon loving people that call themselves a "fan"

[Thisworldisfuct216]

I miss this time so much! Feels like yesterday

[xDARKxMASTERx666x]

i want to go to that school with my mushroomhead shirt lol

[a7xsynistershadows]

if they were playing chancre sore which was off of their xx c.d which released in 2001 then how was this newscast from 1998???

[jpopson43]

Chancre Sore was ORIGINALLY released in 1996 on their album titled 'Superbuick'. The 2001 release, 'XX', is a compilation of previously released songs.

[a7xsynistershadows]

ah, ok thx for clearing that up for me

[furyberserk]

@jpopson43 So I bought a "greatest hits" CD? I was hoping to never do that. Oh well, great fucking album though.

[dickenzeii]

the song is older then that they put out cds b4 this one just not in a large scale

[killerklown94]

@a7xsynistershadows they had put it on one of the previous albums and later put chancre sore on xx wich has a lot of mushroomhead songs from the 90's.

[Bl00dBaRBiE]

LMAO that Principal is such an ignorant douche. Just b/c u wear a Mushroomhead shirt doesnt mean that you are in denial and pushing away from your parents. Jesus christ, how fucking ignorant can a person get.

[chris2162003]

lol rootstown highschool my lil bros sis went there.

[mushroomleg]

i used to live w/ the moshing guy in the sepultura shirt.

[frollun2]

lol. gwar at the end.

"YOUR WHOLE SOCIETY IS BUILT ON A FOUNDATION OF LIES!"

[TechFiend44]

"And you know what?"

"GWAR's favorite place to play is right here in Cleaveland"

*(Reapeatedly shits pants...)

[Trippy420Hippy]

Legacy, when I saw that I was like, "What douchebag cared enough to write a comment about a typo in the news?" Then you came out of the sky and answered my question. Thanks Captain Obvious Douchebag!

[TheLegacyStable]

fox cleveland are dicks they spelled j-mann wrong they said j-man

[dotn1983]

Lol everyone loves Gwar!

[foxrocks16]

man I would give anything to see mushroomhead ! They got me into metal empower me and the rest of the fans but never come to Canada

[BeserkRodent]

@foxrocks16 Yeah i love mushroomhead, that would be awesome if they came here!

[KEVINAKAKEVO1]

that highschool is gay suspending 3 kids just for wearing mushroomhead shirts i would talk back to that principal

[xBADxB4NDITOx]

lol i thought they would bring up when j mann says if it were up to me id free charles manson in bwomp

[kellykernaghan]

if you weigh less than 100 lbs, you better be expecting some bruises and possibly broken bones if you mosh in the mosh pit to mushroomhead

[KEVINAKAKEVO1]

not unless you how to fight

[555KINGofKORN555]

i had bruises after the slipknot all hope is gone first day on the tour. it was awesome

[MrBurnnbleed]

whats the song called in the begunin wen they show shmotz n skinny

[xBADxB4NDITOx]

its the end of bwomp

[555KINGofKORN555]

it's called "the wrist"

[Pr3dat0r5000]

JMann was like my idol in 7th grade!

[punisher0222]

God damn do I look good

[punisher0222]

mrh is not a drug run in the 1st place

[punisher0222]

the principal is a fucking ass hole

[Jordanjschaecher]

Ed Jones is a douche bag

[TheToXic111]

that principal is a douchebag

[04tm34l3]

if my principal wanted me to turn my mrh shirt inside out, i would tell him to fuck off

[evan152productions]

kevin we dont have a male principle!!

[nightmarenate97]

i had a similar thing happen to me with the shirt thing only i was told i could wear my shirt any more because they thought it was like a reference to a dick head!

but i wear my mushroomhead shirts all the time any way!

[homgen4]

I had the same problem with my Bury Your Dead shirt but only because it said BURY YOUR FUCKING DEAD and they said it was inappropriate those NAZIS!

[nightmarenate97]

that totaly isnt the same thing if it hadnt said fucking in it it would have been fine i mean it is commin sense that fucking is a bad word in our languge i mean im not trying to sound like a toll i would have worn it too but i would have expected for them to tell me to take off

[homgen4]

I know but I'm an attention whore.

[nightmarenate97]

ah yes well that would explain a few things

[killswitchengageksw]

where did you get it

[homgen4]

The shirt? Rockabillia catalog.

[30y6]

i cant beleive he had to turn his shirt inside out....

[PFreakyPFister]

they make it seem like you HAVE to be in the mosh-pit, if you don't want to be in it then just stand to the side

[99nirvanafan99]

u must of never been to a mushroomhead show

trust me man at a mrh show the whole crowd is moshing

i bet if that prinicpal witnessed a mrh show he would relize why soo many people go to em and continuisly go to them i know people that have been to 50+ mrh shows just because there is just a vibe in the croud that u cant get at anyother show mushroomhead shows are magical.

[nightmarenate97]

maybe in cleaveland but i just saw them like four days ago and i didnt mosh and i was in the front so not every where is a mosh pit im just saying

[wakawaka60]

lol where does it say music is bad in the bible? And my mothers christian and so am I but I learned that christian songs are the same notes over and over or re-written from originial songs.( don't get me wrong I like some of the songs but some of them are just copies of original songs that aren't christian).

[cyberneticchaos]

Fuck religion, dude. Just live like a normal human being.

[wakawaka60]

yep but the problem is that is normal life ppl believe in alot of weird shit. That is why Im agnostic

[cyberneticchaos]

Yeah. I'm famillure with your fanatic christian groups. It's sad.

[wakawaka60]

yep, the reason why we still believe in god is cuz our parents brainwashed that shit into us.

[globalchaos1984]

very true

[spersexyed]

... did really fuck the second sentence up, hmmm. It's a youtube comment, i don't think grammar is too important here.

[spersexyed]

hey live2die, fuck you! You narrow minded, wanna boser peice of shit, you're not a rocker, you're a pussy. If you were real you'd know religion has nothing to do with rock. Go do what you're living for... die.

[live2die187]

read what u just wrote me. alright. now read the very last line of my first comment. i said keep the religion out of the music. instead of watching vids on youtube why dont you go pick up a dictionary and learn proper english. your comment looks like it was written by a pissed off 13 year old.

[nightmarenate97]

isnt that what he had writen in the last comment?

[hellsing418]

wth why did you cut qwar you dirt sand monkey

[NightIsAlive]

Because this is a Mushroomhead video and Gwar sucks dick.

[Imnotspencer]

dude im a christian and listen to metal.the way i see it is we all need to stop blaming people for things and except the way others live,it isnt like satanism or anything,metal may seem creepy to older ppl but it lets teens get aggersion out.if it starts to corrupt you (inspire drugs and violence) then your parents should take it away.thats how i see it.

[live2die187]

christians shouldnt listen to this music, it stands for everything there are against. christians are narrow minded, and weak. all religions are fucking nuts. it hard for people to understand how the world works so they make up ther own crazy story and every country has one. keep the religous bullshit out of the music.

[Imnotspencer]

well dude,that is true "most" christians are narrow minded and im sorry if christians have treated you that way,but im not like that.if you dont believe what i believe in thats ok.but just because im a christian doesnt mean i cant listen to good music.bashing religon and ppl's beliefs doesnt do anything but make the world worse.i dont bash the things i dont believe in.there is fault with everyone no matter what they believe if they dont except people. =) (sorry for sounding like a hippie lol)

[live2die187]

imnotspencer your cool bro.

[Imnotspencer]

thanks dude =)

[eternalchampion25]

this is oldschool 90's shit, lol its funny because there are way heavier bands nowdays that are christian, and I don't see them on the news. I am a mushroomhead fan though, so I'm not trying to diss on them.

[pillarmusicrocks]

haha yea, msh kicks ass.

but as for christian metal bands. some of em are awsome though. as i lay dying, august burns red, unearth, they really have alot of talent. hell ill even go as far as to say as i lay dying has one of the greatest drummers ive ever heard.

[BanksTank810]

greatest screamers too, and guitars...all around homes.

[BanksTank810]

back then, that was as heavy as it gets

[madniz696]

why they raise there child that way?...

and why they are in denial... man this fuckface is stupid, these kids also have rights. like every one else. if they want to wear a mushroomhead (witch is a really good band) T, who cares.

people just need to stop stereotyping... Oh hes got a mushroomhead T on, he probably does drugs... i hate it when people do that. i skateboard, and when ever people see me they automatically think im a bad person.

people just need to mind there own god damn business..

[REeggo00]

I know what you meen. I got Dreads a while back, and you wouldn't believe the amount of times people walk up to me and ask "Do you do pot" or "are you like, Jamaican or something?"

Its fucking annoying.

[madniz696]

yeah, i just hate it.

the other day this chicks dad asked her if she knew if i do drugs or drink.

and i was like WTF, you cannot be serious right now... >=(

[live2die187]

get off the soap box u and REeggo00 need to shut up. no one cares about your personal lives. watch the damn video.

[madniz696]

why dont you go fuck your self... fucking fuck face dipshit

[thehman59]

wow pure ignorance from that principal

[guyfromcanadayup]

Wow lol.

[JaeTizzle]

Rats in the front room roaches in the back junkies in the alley with a baseball bat.

[Jasonv078]

@JaeTizzle Thanks for getting me out of that doubt, i always knew Jmann used to say something of a baseball bat on Born of Desire, but i was no sure, i thought he said something of a tracefull path, but thanks for putting that

[MaggoT07100]

bad((

[juggalo666clown]

fuck that why can metal heads wear what thay wont at school i thinks its bullshit that a black kid can wear shit thats has gang shit all over it and we cant wear a shirt that hase a band name on it its bullshit

[bizaarrockerof09]

my school does not care lol one of my old teachers listened to this stuff lol i graduated tho lol

[RandoCommando28]

that principal is a douchebag mushroomhead isnt a drug reference it refers to a dick

[juggalo666clown]

not even that itsa band name but in terms to real life its a dick head but that guy can fuck off

[antichristen]

why the hell do thay compare mushroomhead with GWAR?

GWAR is a whole new level of... ehhh... WIERD rock, while mushroomhead's just awsome?

[Lauxin666]

dude shut up you're making yourself sound completely stupid, especially when your name is "antichristen". it's spelled antichristian

[antichristen]

Well, thats because im danish, and thats the way its spelled in denmark

[Lauxin666]

oh okay nevermind i understand, converting languages is tough :D my bad

[antichristen]

Yeah. And TheAntichrist and Antichrist And Antichristian was taken :D

[juggalo666clown]

its the sam reson thay compair slipknot with mushroomhead but i think mushroomhead and slipknot are both awsome

[Moe666DK]

New album comming this summer.. or so it says on the website.. should be here any day now then?

[hothead143]

hell yeah those teenagers at that highschool fucking rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! true shroom fans there

[mzmetalmommy]

man... why must insecure people always blame music on the corruption of kids? just because a band expresses themselves in their own chosen way does not equate the root of all evil in the world! more people have been killed in the name of religion than music. take that, bible humpers of america. if my daughter grows up wanting to wear black and listen to angry music, more power to her for having a strong self-esteem to fight the oppression of society!!

[irishsid13]

I hear ya darlin'....right on target.

[Imnotspencer]

its just some bands have a bad msg. and kids are searching for somthing and when they hear postive things about drugs and violence they try it.metal is amazing i love it,but some kids shouldnt listen to it,im sorry but its true =(

[chimakara16]

if y'all think that school is strict, in my public american school, they actually don't allow you to have any kind of symbol on your clothing, books, or anything else because they'll consider it as a gang sign. My friend got suspended for drawing the Naruto headband symbol on his notebook.

[NickSkits]

The name 'Mushroomhead' is actually slang for a dick (as mentioned on Mushroomhead Volume 1)

[rozerpooperdooper]

Why they raise they're child this way? what the hell is he talking about? That guy is probably like a fuckin 50 year old vergin. Child in denial? Pushing away? what a goddamn faggot fuck what the hell is he talking about. Its not denial its fuckin music for christs sake.

[drumgroovy]

J-Man?

It's J Mann. Credible news? Highly doubt so.

[croknaw]

thats bull they say its all drug referance and vilance and they show gwar and gwar vids

[PFreakyPFister]

ha, J-Man is so polite

but really Mushroomhead does rock and it makes me mad when the news does these one-sided reports

I mean, OF COURSE they're only going to interview the people wearing makeup and OF COURSE they're going to point out the fact that kids are listening to the music

and finaly, what did that principle mean at 1:29 does he really want to get the state involved with MUSICAL AFFAIRS

people need to just stick to music they like and leave everybody elses be

[Nebachudnezzar]

what makes mushroomhead shock rock?

[quadingrocks]

because they hide there faces with paint and maskes

[drumgroovy]

Because they're a band who uses aesthetics for entertainment. Kiss and Manson do that, so they're considered shock rock. It's not directly affiliated with music... more to the theme of the band.

[Deathishellsopener]

omfg that is bullshit, fuck that. that principal is a dick. it is a fuckin shirt, who gives a damn, long live mushroomhead!
