  • Great band! amazing!

  • eric has fucking magic to him a legend one of the best metal voices EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This sounds just like the Kill Em All style, good old school trash metal, why didnt they become stars just as Metallica and Megadeth did?

  • Word zarcain. F&J are the bloody rots of metal

  • Word zarcain

  • 7 verdaderos idiotas! :@

  • this is fucking perfect live!!!

  • Nice post - thanks

    Eric looks bloody awful and glammy in this- bet he cringes at this now. lol

    Flotz til death!!

  • @Sjamsucks it's people like you that don't know how to use contractions who are the posers in this realm. Try using "you're" (contraction of "you are" iinstead of "your") Also, you are defending a Flotsam and Jetsam cover of an Elton John song : \ Next you'll be praising Angra's cover of Kate Bush...or trying to sell us on the notion that Tori Amos covering Slayer is "true metal". But yeah, finish high school and learn those contractions.

  • yea this shit is legendary!

  • Best thrash song about Lizzie Borden ever!!!!

  • wtf were people thinking in the 80s...???

  • @squirttilithurts

    wtf were you thinking when you commented...???

  • Doomsday for the deciever is in my top 3 favorite albums I just wish it was longer (I have the original vinyl not cd with extra traks)

  • Please dont flag me as spam, hear me out...

    Flotsam Jetsam Rockers, this is the flotsam Jetsam Division of the Metal Militia, would you like to see good music return, and unappreciated bands be recognized, well you too can have a part. I ask that you join the metal militia, we are an organized group of metalheads that feel music should change reverse direction and bring back good music from the 70's and 80's, the golden ages. If you wish to partake, sub to the metal militia under my channel.

  • @FlotsamJetsamdvsn Great thanks,

    The Flotsam Jetsam Division of the Metal Militia

  • @FlotsamJetsamdvsn I agree I went to hella concerts in the late 70's and all through the 80's and saw some of the first performances of so many Metal bands and then I got married and didn't really go to any Metal shows in the 90's and then I went to Ozz fest in 2003 and couldn't believe my ears all the Metal bands sounded the same with dropped tuning and no leads and all the vocals sounded like Death Metal and it has gotten worse.

  • Jason is the best bassist/vocalist in Thrash Metal.

  • wow Eric had some tragic hair back then. Still such a fucking great song!

  • Looks like a small crowd...

  • We can clearly see there, that Jason was too much underated in metallica.

  • he's got a great taste in guitars

  • oh how many times I played this at ear-ringing volume when it 1st came out.....WHAT????

  • hahaha old shit! but goood!

  • NICE SONG!

  • 2:34 Jason so young :)

  • They named this band after a chapter of The Lord of The Rings The Two Towers

  • @shellyoaks NOT

  • this is sum legitamite thrash

  • Woah, I pictured the Singer to look so different, he has a fucking mad Thrash voice (well, of the first two Albums as they are the only ones I listened to).

  • @mujuma i never saw this band but was looking about jason and they are really good

  • Holy fuckin shit I haven't seen this video feed in massive years, thumbs up on this:p

  • yea the singer looks like faggot, but flotsam and jetsam was a good band,.... at least their first 2 albums were good

  • The singer kinda looks like Anthony Padilla from SMOSH.

  • the good old days! eric AK= lord

  • I think Jason wrote most of the songs??Fucking great thrash metal.Go this onLP

  • Lol @ how most people click on this cause of Jason Newsted, who did barely anything.

  • What are you talkin bout?? he wrote most if not all the songs for flotsam including lyrics, he was even their fuckin accountant

  • great song!!!!!!

  • oh yeah...i also always considered Eric A.K. one of the more expressive and dynamic thrash vocalists, esp. during their MCA years

  • i tend to think anyone who DOESN'T know of Flotsam & Jetsam is a "poser" : ) I adored these guys back when 'Doomsday...' was released, and thought 'No Place For Disgrace' was one of the coolest Elektra label signings ever. (tho the production was horrid & the Elton John cover silly). As far as recognition, don't forget they did a Chris Cornell penned tune on 'Cuatro' : p

  • adored? puh-leeze dude. Your panties are showing

  • @CultureOfNone How is it silly? I think your silly. The song has great lyrics that apply to anyone who likes to party. It's people like you that are posers that can't think outside of the box.

  • @SwedishHeadbanger If I could I would go back in time and kick my self to the floor for writing this crap

  • amazing...

  • michael gilbert was a beast on the guitar, to bad the camera is only on Ed.

    whatever happened to michael , whats he up to?

  • I fucking love Eric's vocals here... does anyone know how old he was??

  • Why don't you just respectfully entitle the Flotsam & Jetsam-She Took An Axe

    Who gives a fuck about Jason Newsted?!

  • Yes, please.

  • He's the only reason they ever got any recognition, because he went to Metallica. Nobody ever heard of them before that, mainly because they suck ass.

  • Their second record, No Place For Disgrace is actually better than that first record they did with Newsted. They proved to do just fine without him. That's another reason I think Jason Newsted is a faggot. He shoulden't have been a part of Flotsam & Jetsam to begin with.

  • FaJ sucks ass, they always have and always will....

  • Testament didin't need any Metallica band members to get recognition. Neither did Flotsam & Jetsam. I know more about that music scene than you do. You're wrong.

  • Did I say anything about Testament? No. I love Testament, and they got recognition because they are actually good. Unlike this shitty wannabe thrash band.

  • Flotsam & Jetsam is Thrash metal. What the hell are you smoking?

  • Good job fellow troll, however, couldn't you be trolling things more deserving? Like Slipknot videos?

  • Comment removed

  • I never said i'd rather listen to Nu-metal than thrash. Thrash metal is the greatest metal. This is just crap though.

  • Sure you did. You said you'd rather listen to Slipknot than this. That is therefore wanting to listen to Nu-Metal over Thrash metal, no matter how crap you think they are.

  • OK, i'm now convinced that you are a complete idiot. You evidently can't understand what I'm trying to say, so I'm gonna quit this conversation while i'm ahead. I have no time for arguing with dumbasses.

  • Yarr, quit bra. I was only fucking with ya anyway since you do don't like Flots.

  • @DreamNeonBlack poser

  • @DreamNeonBlack Why don't you go listen to Megadeth or Slayer? What I call, "mainstream thrash".

  • fag

  • great band!!!..

  • LIZZIE BORDeN!HATE HATE HATE!!

  • back when boys had bangs....

  • AK - what happened to your head?

  • Dude he is awsome especially on the No Place For Disgrace album.

  • yo record1207 lick me bollocks clean

  • Fucking badass instrumental

    but it would been better with a vocal like TestAmenT have or

    old school metallica .

    but it is some of the best i heard for a while anyway

  • THe Singer's hair says = HYPOCRIT

  • why is everyone such a fucking nazi about haircuts? who gives a shit? this guy is singing high quality thrash, so what if for one show back then he teased his hair or whatever.. seriously...why do you guys give a shit what a dude's hair was like in the 80s?

  • 0:46= Too much beer dude

  • wow nice move jason movin to metallica and all but dumbass move leavin them

  • hahaha - cool hairstyle!

    If you are interested in some old live stuff for downloading then have a look at Flotsams official website - former drummer Kelly Smith placed at the disposal. (DOWNLOADS or MESSAGEBOARD). You will enjoy it!

  • this song is awesome

  • the gitarist on the right looks like Gar Samuelson

  • ya kind o

  • Id say more like Gary Busey? haha.

  • Now this is THRASH! it's interesting to see where Jason was when Cliff was still alive.

  • i wish someone would post a song called "Deviation" cant find it anywhere

  • god damn Flotsam and Jetsam is soooo good but yet their overrated. the best is that their a glam/thrash mix which is just orgasmic. i wish they had tabs for this song

  • wat? flo & jet r anything but overrated

  • pausers!!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck they look so glam

  • when i bought 'doomsday'from flotsam and jetsam,the thing that stood out above everything else was jason's bassplaying .a couple of years later i wasn't surprised he was playing in metallica.jason also wrote all the songs for doomsday,wich james hetfield never let him do that for metallica.(why james,too heavy????!!!!)

  • I guess Metallica would be a lot heavier if they'd let Jason "lend a hand" to their songwriting.

  • Might have been one reason he left?

  • Jason co-wrote Blackened, only song he wrote in metallica right?

  • Also he wrote My friend of misery and where the wild things are.

  • WHAT THE FUCK?!...80'S..

  • yea most metal was in the 80's. lik metallica,megadeth,slayer,anth­rax,and probably every thrash metal band u can think of. but there r newer bands that have that old school thrash sound lik Fueled by fire,diamond plate,and devastator.

  • Wow...lots of talk about talent. Every member of this band has talent. I see both sides of the discussion. Doomsday is a very heavy, even fresh at the time, thrash record. Jason wrote a lot of the tunes on Doomsday. Remember, this was a MetalBlade release; not a lot of production money there. If Jason had stayed, no doubt F&J would have evolved into something very special. But as it is F&J evolved with Troy Gregory. Elektra may not had given them much, but enough to put out polished work.

  • They were on Epic for a while if I am not mistaken?

    As far as I am concerned I remember seeing them support Quatro and Jason Ward was much better than anything I heard from Jason at that time.

  • Yeah, I think they went on to MCA, but Newstead...well, who the hell knows what they let him play on those Metallica records. He was an animal on that first F&J record though. Fuck, I loved that record when I got it. Jason just never evolved past the furious, punk inspired, thrash bassist.

  • I tend to disagree - he played with Voivod and their old stuff was definitely complex and weird, plus playing with Ozzy rounded him as all around rock bassist.

    I was actually expecting great things from him after he quit Metallica - I was think "this guy will now blow them away with all the songs he's written" but I guess same as Dave Elefson - he was just a shadow of a great frontman.

  • W/regard to Dave E: Yeah, no shit...what happened to Jr? I was absolutely enthralled with Ellefson's bass playing.  But where is he now? Mustaine is a fucking genius guitarist/songwriter. He's gotten consistently better over the years.

  • you do realize that jason is out of commission at the moment because of his shoulder injury that happened in 06

  • Actually it was Elektra records...;-}.For

    one album only..".No place for disgrace"

    Then they were dropped....Then MCA

    signed them for 3 albums,then metal blade for the next 2..

  • It's a shame that Cliff died (for many reasons). This band (with Jason) sounded like they could have evolved into something quite special. It kind of reminds me of Kill 'Em All, with arbitrary riffs wandering all over the place. Yes, I do believe Jason would have been a more respected musician had he stayed. Their sound probably would have evolved into a more refined and elegant style of thrash (if that makes any sense). Oh well.

  • i do think no place for disgrace was a fair improvement to doomsday for the deciever however i think troy gregory and jason ward did a very exceptional job of carrying on where Jason Newsted left off. Quite honestly it dont really matter the bass isnt the only member of a band.

  • Fuck yuo!!!!!!!! Jason was band soul. he is very good bassist

  • fuck you too you 22 year old punk, you arent even old enough to even have seen this band when they toured in the 80s punk. go back and jack off to your godsmack and korn cds you you emo fag, the only reason you like jason is because of his days in metallica, you would have never heard of him otherwise!!

  • jason was not the talent in this band, they got much better after he left and their music got heavier

  • heavyness isnt as good as speed though. I think there better here with Jason.

  • If you wanna hear great stuff from Jason, buy this album "Doomsday for the Deceiver" and listen to Metal Shock...his skill is displayed. He's no Cliff, Steve, or Geddy Lee but he's got nasty chops

  • Totally awesome...I can only imagine how they would have turned out if Jason had stayed!

  • @FallenMessiah metallica would suck if jason stayed

  • Lizzy Borden? Does this mean Newsted is from Fall River, too? lol (Yeah right....)

  • Everybody knows that Jason was in Flotsam and Jetsam before joining Metallica...

  • Good stuff man. I thinks its funny how all the little teenie kids today have hair and shit like these dudes and they dont give credit where credit is due.

  • Hi Joel, I went to Neptune and couldn't find you. So now, I'm back on earth, letting you know, as you wanted us to let you know, hey, I just saw Jason Newsted /Flotsam & Jetsam ( the Lizzy Borden story ). Awesome!  Do you know how Jason is these days? Good I hope!

  • their singer back then had a very poppy edge to his style i can see. style frickin sweeet. and an incredibly under-rated metal band

  • Jason rocks what bass is he using there?

  • It looks like some b.c rich bass im not sure

  • i think that bass was hes first custom b.c. rich, and he use it to record "and justice for all"

  • I didn't know there was bass on ...And Justice For All

  • lol!!!

  • its a bc rich eagle. they don't do it in that colour scheme anymore

  • This is their first album. Kerrang magazine (the famous European metal magazine) gave this album (doomsday for the deceiver) 6 stars even though 5 was the maximum. Archaic sound but friggin classic through and through every song .

  • Shee Took an Axe is one of my favorite Flotsam songs. This video comes with the "Doomsday for the Deceiver" 20th Anniversary disc set.

  • I have the original picture disc of Doomsday.

    Man, there was nothing like an early Flotz show to get the night going.

  • This song is called "She took an axe" and is one of my favorites. I had personally tabbed the guitars of this song out myself,including solos in all because its soo awesome.

  • my friend jakers said we should start a band and make covers and call it flotz till deth and i heard about flotz before so i thought id give it another listen. very nice

  • they certainly had a better singer than metallica

  • i love metallica

  • i was a huge flots fan and i was PISSED when jason went to metallica cause i thought flots was better

  • i like Jason.

  • what the fuck! the guitarist looks like a retard at 00:36 hahaha

    man cool band but such a weak crowd

    joelsamuelpresents

  • except jason, they all ook like posers... shame

  • c'mon, it's like 1982! LOL!!!

  • omg jason is also much better back up vocals -_-

  • omg this is soooo good basss playing..... why didnt he play like that in metallica?

  • well metallica didnt let jason do what he was capable of doing. mainly coz he was always percieved as the 'new guy'. it is a shame coz he is a good bass player.

  • Ultimate shit!!!

  • Wow Jason, I had no idea. What an honor to go from Flotsam in 85 to Metallica in 86.

  • Ahhh. Look at these rich mofos from the burbs in Mesa,az ...

    Fuk That..These posers couldnt compare to "Surigal Steel" !

  • I've done several shows with this band over the years and I will tell you this...ED Carlson WILL drink your ass under the table...JDavis (Phoenix)

  • -Jason is my greatest influence!!!he rulez!!!

  • THe Lizzy Borden Story? I'm from the city where she did those murders! haha

  • hey guys check out my video about cliff and jason check out my other videos too

  • In passing, I defend this band blooddrive, and a true musician doesn't go around saying that other's suck. This band is one of the best in my book from the 80's, and as I said Eric A.K. is still belting em out. Eric is one of my favorite metal vocalist.

  • Hey blooddrive, if the singer fuckin sucks, why is still grinding it out 20 fuckin years later. Wait, you do know why.go shove it where the light don't shine bitch

  • hey guys check out my videos

  • the singer fuking suks

  • These guys fuckin' rock!!!

    Awesome!!

  • Eric AK's hair rules!  XD... none the less some good shit man!

  • great song!

  • Ya know, Jason has been in Metallica, Voi Vod., Supernova. It would be too cool if he returned to his roots and rejoin the band that rocked harder than anything he has done, Flotsam and Jetsam.

  • Kickass! I think Jason should've done the singing though.

  • The song is called She took an axe, by Flotsam & Jetsam. It is about Lizzie Borden. From the Doomsday For The Deciever album, kick ass shit Newstead wrote the majority of it too.
