Crass- Poison In A Pretty Pill

[MrVoevod]

I remember as a young punk seeing Crass playing in the back of a Transit van with the panels all sawn off in Glasgow around 1981.Always loved Eve's voice on this and Where Next Columbus?Politics withstanding..and Penny Rimbaud's penchant for military tattoo style drumming,they are sonically similar to SWANS.

[geoman521]

poison......poison.....poison.­....I can't help but chant :D

[BadBoyBilly5165]

I always thought Crass was arty farty, I guess I was right all along. Nice vid all the same. >;0)

[linkparko]

i think im gonna smoke some dope to this

[drainedslug]

No fucking compromise! "CRASS" Nuff said!

[836hellarity]

3 people have no taste

[Andyfrs157]

crass the only and lyrics something else

[landbaby1]

thank you... this song turns me on so much. am grateful for your visuals... again thank you....my favourite crass

[jasonscott920]

My all time favorite song from the Penis Envy album.

[804safety]

LOVE THIS ALBUM AND ALL OTHER CRASS,SMASH FASCIST NAZI BASTARDS///CHEERS FROM CANADA

[rhanikhuuz]

Peace and love to Crass!

[mountainenergei1]

Although I was a crass fiend for many years from the age of 14+, you have to admit that a lot of it is utter crap.

But this - is still incredible. 'I want so gently to remove your mask'. You could cry.

Berketex Bribe is another that has survived, hilarious rage. Listen if you've not heard it.

[capablekel]

i like when punk got all womens rights happy so i could show the sexy punk girls i was hip to their plight. (joke)

[1conniejean]

I really do enjoy Eve's voice much!

[804safety]

@1conniejean I LOVE WOMYNS IN PUNK......CHEERS FROM CANADA//////SMASH FASCIST NAZI TRASH

[AlburyAustralia]

Punks just people out to get your money, from a time when it provided the best people to target for it.People in thier late 40's back then knew all about the fact of liberation being a ticket to give out to everyone one way or the other - you know "you're right'-"someone else is wrong',"and that will be fourty bucks communal fees"-about the same the painting would go for!

[cindyprincessofthemo]

I have heard Crass in the past, but until some tragic events... I have my husband to thank for helping me to LISTEN to CRASS... Although I am a huge Black Flag Lover.... I am intrigued.....

[javispunkrocker]

best punk band of all times!!!

[javispunkrocker]

muito foda!!!

[menijoe]

were those pink smarties i saw at the end? haha great video great band.

[shadowolf2k]

haha, I recognize the Adam & Eve from a Masaccio painting. Cool vid, Crass is awesome =3

[auroramoonbeam]

Poison in a pretty pill baby.... I've had plenty of those

[jimthediamond]

Wow great video to a great song from a great album.

[markusa]

best punk band ever. fact.

[UnanimousDelivers]

Am I the only person who sees a connection between Crass and the Residents?

[vitality91]

PUNXXX

[kittyrifle]

good vid!

[RockstarRacc00n]

Reminds me of Poison Girls.

[grugach42]

Interpretation of song & lyrics is spot on. The video is just simply really cool to watch. Thank you, as I am afraid this music will be lost to the mass of shit that is compiling as everyone and their mother calls themselves some sort of DJ.I assume only as society in general becomes more affluent, art (lyric, song, dance, play, etc.)becomes more prevalent only in that more people with no sight/inspiration are embracing the act. If this is as human evolution unfolds, leave me under the mushroom.

[gilbertwham]

@grugach42 Don't be such a miserable cunt. Remember, 90% of everything is crap. The Punk we remember was mixed with dross in it's day; there are beautiful, mutant flowers out there, whether made by DJ's and their mothers, or new punk bands, or something that's never been heard of yet. Punks weren't the first, and sure as shit we won't be the last.

(n.b. this statement in no way encourages or endorses Dubstep)

[RaXz2k]

@DrunkmastaPtolmey

Punk wasn't killed by mediawhore's, but by the system itself, it was a threat. The media is just a tool, you can't blame a tool for destroying something. ;-) That's just like saying that money is the root of all evil.

[DrunkmastaPtolmey]

Well, you entirely misunderstood my meaning. Try reading it again, I wasn't blaming the media but the people that wanted recognition through it, but it doesn't matter because its unlikely that we're going to agree.

[crapplebug]

thanks for posting this track!!!!! and great video you did!!!!!

[CaptainRen]

"like a glamour billboard on a battlefield" best visual metaphor everr

[DrunkmastaPtolmey]

uhh, I'm just explaining that you can't kill ideas and that's true of any belief, just cause i might happen to have an idea on a topic that has no importance to you doesn't mean that it doesn't matter. Everyone has different feelings and thus different viewpoints on what matters and what doesn't.

[sabbathkyuss]

I wasn't trying to be confrontational. I wish I hadn't typed my thought. I apologize, my comment looks more negative than I had intended.

[blagdonboy11]

superb

[DrunkmastaPtolmey]

punk was "killed" by a bunch of media whores that wanted to capitalize on a musical style that was growing in popularity. It was no one band that damaged the image of true punk musicians. Punk is an idea and a feeling; you can't kill an idea so punk isn't really dead at all. it's just in a bad remission right now.

[lafaesboy]

i love eve

[CFFDan]

yeah man shes the shit!

[arkham23]

Can you feel the pain here? This is our chaos.

[murphy19700]

love the crass, punx not dead!

[mccarthy11]

how can you say both those things in the same sentence?

[vanuaturocks]

Punk is dead, crass said it themselves. The Sex Pistols killed it.

[spilledinsanity]

hm. but u see, if sex pistols were only made for there image then that has nothing to do with real punk so i think it still exists even if most of this generation just sux mass balls

[Thrashslashedmashedp]

If crass said go jump off a building, would you?

I love crass, as well as all sorts of music. I feel I can relate to crass the most at times because of their themed, varied songs.

But (sadly, to say) Punk is alive but in a different form of which it stood against. Some I can stand. This 'Simple Plan' and 'Tokio Hotel' pish is not punk, it's fucking garbage. The only good true punk going is the old bands getting back for the odd show.

[oilslinger]

Absolutely I would.

[agonyinside]

punx not dead! i was mainstream for a wile and then it is now underground, just like it is suppose to be

[GunsOnRoof]

Please don't spell it punx. Thanks. xx

[rolocopoand]

its more punk. to spell it punx.

and besides you take punk too seriously. you must act liek you are a superior fucking punk.

its so facist to tell someone how to spell punk.

up the punx

[Awesomo4003]

"its so facist to tell someone how to spell punk" worst thing i have heard in a while

[jhonwanegasey]

it started being spelled that way by some guys who use the word punk to describe a man who gets raped in jail

[marcbarker]

This is worth five star rating !

[betyerdid]

I love the dexterity with the brush. Shit. That Glossy paper and cold sensitivity. Did I tell you I got a new keybored?

[veganswines]

awsome video + great song. TFP!

[Deconstruk]

awesome video

[kirkwallboy]

xgirlfriendx. I always thought that life was for everyone. Equal. That's how I was brought up.

[dandandandan44]

life IS for everyone its just not everyone thinks that and you get sexism and racism and prejudists etc.

[xgirlfiendx]

It is. I'm sorry if you misunderstood; if you're still pissed, send me a message.

[dandandandan44]

I'm not pissed I agree with you. Women are mistreated but things are getting better for them. But there's always going to be an ignorant bastard who thinks labels that say your race or color or sex has an effect on a group of people.

[xgirlfiendx]

Oh ok. That's true also, thank you for the clear up. *Sorry if i gave you the impression I'm a feminazi-I'm not that at all!*

[xgirlfiendx]

I agree with CarolX2-a great song, and I think there should be more songs about women's issues (though we can't force artists to address issues that may not be relevant to them) but one thing that really irks me is that the rock industry has almost always been and [sadly], still is, a male-dominated industry, despite the multitude of hugely influential female artists, like Ms. Libertine, who've been prominent in the last 25-30 or so years. This NEEDS to change. Great song, great issue.

[CrassPunk999]

This is fucking great. Crass was everything that punk lacks now. Your videos are great, keep 'em coming.

[atomicflashdeluxe]

One of the best songs in my lifetime!

[kittyjitters]

Eve Libertine is the shizznit!!

[Jetzoid]

I remember the very first time I listened to Crass. It was Where next columbus. And as soon as I heard the begining bass line from the song (thats all it took) I just went, "Holy shit. This is the greatest fucking thing I have ever experianced. Ever." I love everything about Crass, but this is my favorite album. Even with the absence of Stevie! Great videos by the way.

[youvegotbighands]

this is really good- fits very well

[cojak007]

favorite crass album out of the lot. was the first one my brothers friend gave me. took a time to warm to it but cudnt get it out of my head once i got into it.owe 10 years of silly haircuts to this album i love it

[HirundoRustica]

This is great, I love this song!

[Skeeterbag]

Not to mention Crass' bass lines have always kicked ass.

[Crass5231]

I agree, the whole record has the best bass guitar I've ever heard.

[zap2566]

great/inspiring

[Psychoclown69]

Crass did a lot more than take speed? They took the fuck up of so called 60's revolution and took it a stage further by inspiring thousands if not millions of people indirectly into the importance of being politically aware and learning and knowing their rights.The music and lyrics don't matter too much but the legacy of inspiration to others to stand up and refuse to follow blindly the bullshit we're fed as fact still lives on today.

[zignog]

word

[BEATNIKCASS]

give anyone some speed and they could fill an exercise book with these sort of lyrics...gimme a break..

[zignog]

fucking great song by the legends

[Crass5231]

That's the truth, they are. :)

thanks

[stillfighting1234]

i enjoy crass

there lyrics are very powerfull to me

i love when eve libertine will talk about the issues on womans rights...her voice is powerfull

i enjoy crass because there lyrics make u think about important issues

its to bad there not around anymore

[CarolX2]

I completely agree! :)  I wish they had more songs on womyn issues.

[Crass5231]

They do...there are many of them. Check out the video I made for Bata Motel, I think you will like it. :)

[Skeeterbag]

You are quite right Crass5231! Excellent work on Bata Motel. A buddy of mine just found two Crass CDs at a local used CD shop. Lucky bastard...

[shaftsbury94]

enjoyed a good crass retro tonight nice work and good luck

[michelle1688]

crass are the real deal - proper D.I.Y. punk ethos - not all this 'chic' 'fashionable' punk so prevlent now.

[panpunk]

[harmkesnuf]
