45 Grave: "Black Cross"

[aupsychobilly]

Batcakes is still hot

[paranoidfarmer]

i wonder how Dinah can be SO GODDAMN FUCKING HOT....

[TheJohngledable]

wish the audio synced up with the video

[deaththrasherlou1983]

If you like this you'll love the death thrashers "too cool for school demo" the songs are called nazi metalers,trail of blood trail of tears and skate or death check it out come on guys support the real scene it's on youtube.com of course

[TimberwolfBeardawg]

Man, I have loved this fucking band since I was 17 years old and now I'm almost 50 ! Dinah Cancer is still going strong, and I would love to see her and the latest incarnation of 45 Grave play live... Does anyone know if they are going to be in the NYC area anytime soon, if at all ? Back in the day, people used to claim that the original band members would transform into their true demonic forms right onstage- now that's what I call good quality family entertainment... Fuck god, hail Satan, kids

[fraterlucifer888]

DYNA FUCKING CANCER

[fireitup9]

she is soooooo hot

[EivinasButkus]

Ha ha this is so slow compared to RHCP cover :D

[bangxbangxbianca]

@EivinasButkus They did a cover to this song?!

[EivinasButkus]

@bangxbangxbianca

Yes, they did. It's in Live at Hyde Park album or you can watch it here /watch?v=M_uK8nKPmME

[MagicHetero]

@EivinasButkus yeah and if you compare sound rhcp is way better here hes like cuddling the guitar

[KID25223]

You Suck

[eldios93]

Mami Cancer

[xnightofragex]

WOW

Thats an OTO symbol in the green at the beginning

Guess it wasnt just lyrics with them

[6669990]

@xnightofragex whats the OTO?

[erikhai1]

@6669990

Ordo Templi Orientis. A magickal fraternity that has accepted the new aon as revealed by liber AL and reveals sex magicksecrets through its initiations.

[Rottenhaus]

@xnightofragex

i have some episodes of 'NWT' and that was a pretty frequent graphic: it's not specifically .45 Grave related.

[scottc8691]

"im a little robot ...deet deet" have quoted that many times through the years

[weewees1]

I love this band, its so clear that they have a great imagination and sense of humour! I always preferred deathrock,psychobilly and punk over most goth music. xx

[dopefiendlarz133]

Miss Dinah Cancer, awesome front woman.

[douchebag21]

@dopefiendlarz133 Nikki Sixx that gay glam fag inaugurated her pussy in the 80s

[p4horror]

Don Bolles is killer on drums here.

[espdkv420]

She's lookin' pretty hot. I love deathrock

[robjirasama]

f-f-fuck me, i love this band...

[InitiumThoth]

F'n awesome!

[EthrealNite]

Mhmm, I have to say this is a peice of shit in today's music world, which is also a fucked up peice of horse shit, but must have been a classic long ago. . .

[DeadboyandGravegirl]

45 grave pisses in your mouth and forces you to swallow you scum fuck.

[EthrealNite]

Ahaha, nice.

[EthrealNite]

You fucking cum guzzling slut!

[Reality9O]

Word.

[nikki613bastard]

Please get out of here right now.

[cardigansarecool]

Haha. You listen to Atreyu and Avenged Sevenfold, you have no right to say any music is shit.

[EthrealNite]

Fuck man I ain't even gonna argue with you, waste of time. =J

[miakyle888]

Dinah Cancer is awesome

[TuffEnuff666]

she's awful :/ I understand the idea of simple singing in punk but that's way too raw

[cros1eyfie1d]

had this when it was released. great record.  wish i still had it!

[miguel1233TX]

cd's version is much better

[LucianoFrusciante]

The chili peppers' hyde park version is better...

[cardigansarecool]

she's so beautiful

[mrblifil]

she was the babe of babes. I can't imagine what she must look like now, that was uh...quite some time ago. Some of the folks in the vid are no longer with us.

[cardigansarecool]

She looks reasonably the same, of course with a little more wrinkles, but she does look great.

[nikki613bastard]

yep, she just looks normally a little bit older than those days, but still looks great. And her voice still rocks \m/

[toddscrivener]

dork

[RonLovesHorrorPunk]

robot!!!lol jk

[dong604]

this band is supposed to be ridiculous and in your face. they are obnoxious on purpose and i think they're funny and rock.

[BulletBabe08]

her vocal styling pisses me off.

then again...this band is kind of thrown together...in a sense. their timing is all weird, she's just screaming and talking in rhyme...the drummer seems lost and making shit up...

lame song.

I don't consider this punk. I consider this a waste of time.

[ThePoetryExperience]

i agree!

[Modrocker83]

dinah cancer can be my little robot anyday!!!

[crypttonite]

fucking loved the consumers too

[lancecorona]

I Love this.

[zeroclan007]

this is so cool!!got to know it by the peppers ofcourse! and not that they have anything to do with this,but rhcp are just awesome!and ppl who don't see that are retarded...and might aswel say pink floyd or funkadelic or whatever is crap. like this to tough ^^ it goes a little beyond psychedelic things or takes it as a standard.whatever...

merry christmas and a happy new year with peace and happines to all of you!

[Aspenly]

What the fuck are the peppers? I don't even know what your talking about. What does crap like pink floyd and funkadelic have to do with 45 grave?

[that1kid62]

Red Hot Chili Peppers suck horse shit! What the fuck do you mean by posting a comment about them on a 45 Grave video??? are you high?

[mvonwedeking]

Pretty hardcore, back in the day. I think this was first put out on New WAve Theatre... Don't be a Ghirkin!!

[greenghostgame]

Ah, 45 Grave...what a pedigree (a lineup that featured former members of the Germs, Bags, Gun Club, Dream Syndicate, Vox Pop, Consumers, Screamers, Castration Squad, etc!).

[frusciante1605]

el cover de los red hot de esta cancion suena espectacular

[FanatikJ]

Crazy song structures are what made 45 Grave so cool. I still think this is great.

[tlittlepage1968]

RHCP started as a lame joke band and they don't even have that going for them now. They are just sad.

[rhcpbassics412]

yeah, thats why they've been around for 25 years have several platinum records, and are one of the most popular bands in the world. way to go.

[tlittlepage1968]

I guess that since popularity with the mindless masses and huge records sales means everything, then Bon Jovi must be the greatest band that has ever existed?

[mikebulzary]

to say that they are 'just sad' shows ur ignorance and that u know nothing about them. they are all incredibly talented musicians and are devoted to making and playing music, and they mean a lot to millions of people round the world, which apparently is a negative thing......

and now i wait for the 'thumbs down' marks, even tho all i did was stick up for a band i like...

[tlittlepage1968]

Gee...aren't you noble?

[mikebulzary]

i sure am! tho admitting that isn't very noble...

[TechnicalEvaluation]

N'SYNC have sold more records than RCHP and in far less time. so by your logic, they're better than RCHP.... right?

[paulus2h]

hahahaahahahahaha... watching comments like this underneath a punk song like this remind me of the weird world we live in.. btw the lady's got soul man!! jeez or she sold it at some crossroad or something :P

[aniggawitagun]

its deathrock

[james0079]

I would like to do terrible things to your mothers bottom x

[cthulufunk]

45 Grave were so awesome. Pretty good testament to their talent that there's so many videos on Youtube when they only released one album, the excellent 'Sleep in Safety'.

[sunyate]

watching the chilli peppers do a cover of a 45 grave song, in front of a massive younger (congenial) audience, and them loving it, is surreal. that's like an aging l.a. punk rockers queue that he's getting long in the tooth.

i loved it though.

[metalmonster48]

Dinah Cancer and .45 Grave fuckin' rock.

[cherrysherry333]

Good Vocalist...She screamed like Yoko there for a second though...lol! Scared me for a second. Cool sound...100+...Good choice sweetie...;)

[fathead337]

everybody hating on 45 grave can suck a sick dick, seriously

[JimBean19801980]

I would fuck that bitch that is singing

btw RHCP are farmore band than 45 Grave

it is not about the kind of music they play but about that they have one of the best drumer,guitarist and bassist in the world

[durgAUMurge]

wow. intense as it was long long ago! that RHCP version i just watched was not bad, but it sure wasn't good. more carnivalesque, ho-hum antics that seem to titillate alot of pinheads. the RHCP were a fine band, but they sure went out NOT in style. californication? ugh. oy boy! glad that 45 GRAVE didn't cover THAT lol

[lancecorona]

I love 45 Grave.

[frantauzdichcal]

Whats this?? Is this meant seriously?? It seems like parody to me. RHCP version is more clear and anyway a lot better!

[firebird116]

just popped into my head to look up this awesome band I havnt heard since high school. Thanks for posting this! Yes they sound as cool now as I remember

cheers

[adds102]

Lol chili peppers version is alot better in my opinion

[durgAUMurge]

nope. it sux compared to the original. but always, the 6 feet deeper and much less shallow and in the minority are in a better viewing and listening perspective. WOW, these RHCP fans are numbskull partyrs! probably from the 90125 area....oy

[Romans10Verse9]

I'm 22. And I Love All Good Forms Of Music. You Should Learn To Do The Same Punk. And To Show You What I'm Talking About, Go Listen To The Peppers' Song "Don't Forget Me". Not Rap At All. For A Second Just Do It And Stop Fighting Me. And There Is One Opinion Of Yours I Can Agree With. Most Modern Mainstream Shit SUCKS ASS. Just Because You Pull Away From The, like, 5 good bands Out There and Listen To A Bunch Of Under The Radar Stuff Doesn't Make You Cool Or Anything.

[Romans10Verse9]

Your Wrong. As Proven By Your Other Comment That Was Downed By People Who Listen To All Good Music. Branch out.

[fmmsavesyourmom]

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers blow ass

[Romans10Verse9]

Matter of opinion, man. I'm done having this conversation.

[hammermill83]

45 grave suck!RHCP!

[Romans10Verse9]

I don't think they suck. They are definitely not my favorite style of music, but they don't suck. They play how they like and I respect them for that. The Chili Peppers are definately my favorite though.

[Romans10Verse9]

Wigger Rap/Rock?! They Are Completely Original And Were There During The Birth Of That Style, So If They Did Act Like That They'd Be Totally Entitled To. But They Don't. They Are Awesome Just Like 45 Grave And Have Given More to The World Than Your Worthless Ass. Both Bands Rock. Shut Up.

[Keane4ever]

rap/rock?  rhcp? wigger? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? thats the most outrageous claim i've ever heard...

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

idiotic is more like it.

.45 Grave are awesome though, like the LA version of the Misfits, but a little darker though I think. Dinah is a lot more attractive than Glenn too. lol. Up the Punks.

[dieorgetfucked]

RHCP are yonger then grave 45, grave 45 had been around for a few years before RHCP, they fromed in 79 the chillies in 83

[Lobotomyu]

m apologies for the mistake but that would still make them basic peers within the music scene.

[YorkFactory]

Pure ROCK!!!!

[Lobotomyu]

Both bands come from the same era an and area so why would RHCP even remake this song.

[Lobotomyu]

[shroomangel]

I grew up with this stuff. I used to order albums from a mail order company in 1984/85 and was turned on to all this underground stuff like 45 Grave, Trouble, Pentagram and so on.I still have the albums!

[friedincali]

Anyway - absentreferent - thanks for the memories.

Paul B. Cutler

[friedincali]

I remember pulling up to a stoplight in Texas on the way to a show and having a Latino family pull up next to us. The father looked over at us, quickly looked away and crossed himself. I remember clerks in grocery store in Texas telling Dinah how much they loved her purple hair and asking her how she did it. I remember writing this song in the hallway of the Canterbury, where a lot of the punks lived. It was so easy when it was pure and so hard once it wasn't...

Paul B. Cutler

[friedincali]

We got to live outside of societies laws for a brief moment. It killed some of us and damaged others, and some of us were/are fine. I will carry the punk spirit to the end. BTW - we weren't goth, we were just into Grade-B horror movies and fast punk, and drugs and sex and experimental classical music and jazz and many other things. Before I started this band I practiced for 8 hours a day for about 10 years. I was and am a serious musician - with a sense of humor.

Paul B. Cutler

[friedincali]

This is so funny. I wrote this song - no I am not dead. I still play music but for different reasons. Rob died on tour with Celebrity Skin - best bass player ever. After that the band was dust. This is the first song I wrote for the band, the next was Wax. I talk to Dinah once in a while - she's a very nice person. Playing live was so much fun. I look back on these times with fondness. I'm very glad they are behind me. We were a bit nuts...

Paul B. Cutler

[zairah04]

THIS BAND IS TOO FREAK NONSCENCE

[Sirstingray]

Im sure the chilis would wish that they had this intensity and pure punk feel to this song. Im a chilis fan but this is awesome...

[redhotchiliendpepper]

the rhcp are the best

[picinomundo]

this is so poor. and it's a trump compared with the version of the chilis!

[JKK72385]

45 Grave was more experimental, and showed more range than RHCP's.

[picinomundo]

c'mon. the chilis are 4 of the most talented and soulfull musicians in the world.

and this is just an awfull lot of mentally disturbed retards.

[picinomundo]

altough this girl is rather nice to look at.

[RodZenCohns]

Paul DIED? Rob Graves passed on. I read that Paul went into retirement. I was just amusing myself with a few seconds of this vid he looks like Lou Reed.

[NewWaver80014]

Yes, the original poster was indeed thinking of Rob, not Paul.

Thanks Dinah!

[brianjayrocker]

45 grave rulzzz!!!!!!!!

[pleasureavalanche]

I meant "fuckin' video", though i'm sure you could fuck to it too.

:B

[skinhead5]

I dicovered them in 81

[rhcpivan]

Where's the rithm??? It's just a shit...only known by the red hot chili peppers, much better than "that"

[ilawlatyou]

best band in the world. an "old gothic" type to it >.<

whoever doesn't love them has issues XDDD

[MorayEel]

I think shes cuter with the little bit of extra weight. She's too thin in "Wax" on NWT, IMO.

[MotoVet]

I'll always remember 45 GRAVE for thier stage show at a 1984 gig at the PVA in Pomona, CA. The whole stage was engulfed in fog (fog machine?) and the bad members emerged one-by-one like zombie ghosts as colored stage lights beamed down seperately on each band member, Dinah was absolutely stunning !

[fosterch]

awesome

[maddermofo]

I only came across these guys thanks to the chili peppers version of black cross on the hyde park record

[krm242]

45 Grave kicks major ass. I discovered them with Return of the Living Dead, then heard their old stuff and was totally down with the sound.

[johnnymacksd]

what song in return living dead did they do??? thats pretty much the best movie ever made,,,that and ssay repo man,,,and you have to admit pulp fiction

[pleasureavalanche]

That's actually one of the best 45 Grave live performances i've ever seen. Great fucking video too! For johnnymacksd: The 45 Grave song in Return of the Living Dead is PARTY TIME!

[redred5]

no comments yet? these guys were the shit in 81

[DylanRude]

the still are the shit man
