[arturo8718]

d.r.i hardcore trash del hijo de puta vakansisimo

[goragajo]

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles rocks fucking wicked

[WorlddestroyGuy]

[cecopiteco]

one of the best 80's hardcore bands..

[SlitTheGutsTit]

At first i thought that was Scott Ian from Anthrax, i was like WTF. lol

[DeadlyRamon]

@SlitTheGutsTit Kurt looks a lot different with no hair, eh?

[SlitTheGutsTit]

@DeadlyRamon Its night and day man, totally different!

[guinness138]

Your guitar in this vid reminds me of the B.C. Rich Gunslinger you used in the original video, Spike. Badass!!!

[kempoet666]

yeah..DRI is crossover...

[shitfacehippi]

i think its nore hardcore than crossover.. ok the late tunes but it´s the same like suicidal tendencies

[xSLAYtheWEAKx]

My band "Strychnia" is opening for them on January 16th !

[Punxundead1]

lucky man

[1angrydude]

MAD RESPECT FOR D.R.I.

[PinkPantherPunk]

wow what happened to the lead singers hair they all look a lot different now

[Trikisixx]

They are doing a lot of three day weekend type gigs as they all have day jobs now. Just saw them in AZ and man was it kick ass. Huge show, huge pit. Mowhawks, metal heads, hardcore kids, skate kids, old timers like me. So fucking cool and we all got along and had a great time.

[swiatek701]

Don't forget the Skins!!! ;-)

[Demonoftheforrest]

Morons they're crossover, which is a mixture of both hardcore & thrash

[steelfire0]

guys ...DRI still doing lives ?

[wrishta]

Still sound kickass. Didn't recognize them at first

[ledzep79]

OLD SKOOL THRASH!!!

[MarkSegalotto2009]

they invented the term CROSSOVER, which was a mix of hardcore and thrash metal, they´ve created a style., So, what´s heavy???

[racthrash18]

de que año es esto?

[michikuTV]

ahi dice 7 -16-04

aguante dri

thrash crossover!

[fleshgrind626]

they wernt heavy in the 80s

[MEGAFREDO14]

they were hardcore

[dukeljk]

at first then where total thrash.

[ieatbabies12]

they were thrash

not hardcore.

[MEGAFREDO14]

lol they started as a hardcore punk band after they became totally thrash

[OttoVonGoenne]

@MEGAFREDO14 you mean before than after right?

[MEGAFREDO14]

@OttoVonGoenne yes

[trueshinchan]

Their roots are hardcore then they went into thrash created a new sound call crossover. You must not really know who D.R.I. is to post such a comment.

[obscurouse]

@trueshinchan crossover refers to the crowd, not the sound.

They are a crossover band because they drawn in hardcore punk fans and metalfans.

[trueshinchan]

@obscurouse you must be kidding me. Crossover is literally a mixture of hardcore with thrash. The style is clearly different from thrash and hardcore

[obscurouse]

@trueshinchan thrash = hardcore punk + metal.

you can listen to a d.r.i. interview. Kurt talks about how they were given the name crossover by the fans because they have more punk like roots but play more like thrash. Before "the crossover" skins, punks, and long hairs would always get into fights.

The song "tear it down" is about the crossover scene and how they should stand together against the greater enemy.

[trueshinchan]

@obscurouse thrash is 70's punk + metal not hardcore + metal. Hardcore is what the name implies, harder core of punk.

[oldschoolthrasher01]

I love those vids from VSD mentioned 2 posts ago. Good heavy music from back in the 80's. Mental Breakdown was a cool song.

[boot2mouth]

check out felix griffins new band, BLUNT FORCE TRUAMA. you can find them on my space. if you think these guys are good (don't get me wrong, they are) then you will love BxFxT!!!!

[streetwarrior31]

he look´s like dereck from Sepultura eheheh. i´m not shure

[chicksdigmetal2]

If you like heavy music, you gotta love DRI, who have been doing it forever.

Fans of heavy music, check out VSD on youtube. Recorded live in 1987, VSD- Life of Scum, Lubrication, Mental breakdown and 4 other kick ass tunes.
