Germs - Manimal

[ricosuave0077]

Silent this video and listen to Five Years by Bowie and truthfully tell me you don't tear up. :/

[anthonyebola]

I LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION OF THIS TUNE, AND I LOVE THE LYRICS, BUT JESUS THIS GUY IS A FUCKIN JUNKIE

[MaterialGrrrl]

this is so awsome

lorna doom marry me

[Rikitocker]

Darby was drop kick material ... zero charisma, just a sad junkie. The best thing to come out of the Germs was Don Bolles who went on to play with the truly dazzling 45 Grave.

[FrankOrion1]

i'm in love 1:30



[RebelSpiritof77]

Live young, die fast

[LaughingatpainUSAway]

great band, great lyrics.

[lecafiga]

This shit is brilliant?

[anvilofcrom]

What a load of shit...too bad he didn't off himself before he recorded his first song.

[jimmypagefan111]

The germs are the most brilliant punk band.

[moparmania74]

this shit is awful. i dont give a fuck. the recordings are alright. but jesus chrsit. i rather watch a video of a gg allin show. i think it would sound better.

[anvilofcrom]

@moparmania74 GG was a genius, don't compare him to this fucking hack.

[gkooooz]

wow this reminds me of the last air supply concert i went to. except that air supply was more gangster.

[StalwartChris]

A puzzled panther... Definitely a puzzled something.

[CheapyB5]

Darby was the shit, lived fast died young!

[passiveMenis]

fucking loaded

[toot1231]

This right here is what you think of when you hear the word "Punk".

The Germs define it.

[splintercellchicken]

@toot1231 wow. punk must be one sad genre

[mabeledit]

Wow PAT SMEAR WAS A PUNK ROKER WHEN KURT WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND AFTER HE DID LISTEN GERMS.PAT LASSITUDE HEROINE BECAUSE HELPED AND UNDERSTAND TO KURT IN THE FINAL MOMENTS.GREAT PERSONS!!!PUNK ROCK

[dam097]

thumbs up for random seisure girl

[dakotagonz]

Drugs were made because the world could not withstand a sober Darby Crash

[auspunk79]

Shit loads of attitude but a brilliant band?? I think not..

[ToConfused]

Haha Pat has a left handed guitar with the strings upside down haha

[BarrioPunkRock]

@ToConfused haha yea .. i guess it was true his guitar was stollen haha

[dredhorror]

@ToConfused his guitar is right handed...just look at the pickguard....it's a thunderbird...the headstocks are reversed on those guitars

[ToConfused]

@dredhorror 8=====B

[dredhorror]

@ToConfused honestly...is that the best you could come up with...i expected more from you

[ToConfused]

@dredhorror 8=====B~~~~~~~~

[prunepurple]

great singer, it's not the term i would use

[00roastedlampost00]

"Darby was a great singer, his lyrics are pure poetry"

Pretty sure only one of the above statements is true.

[hswwer]

@00roastedlampost00

It's all up in the air really. By most standards, Darby was not a great singer. Like if you are comparing Freddie Mercury to Darby. However, Darby was a great singer in a league of his own. I mean you have to admit, his singing is pretty unique. It is pure raw emotion. Isn't that what singing is all about? In my opinion, any singer who can convey that level of emotion is a good singer to me.

[00roastedlampost00]

@hswwer Sure, but for my money Darby didn't really have much of anything going for him as a vocalist, per se - on the other hand, as Shane West proved so definitively, these songs are for Darby and Darby alone to communicate. The most eloquent, evocative poetry in punk wouldn't sound nearly as pretty if it weren't snarled incoherently over the music :)

Now, if that's not the fastest response time to a comment you've ever seen, I don't know what is.... :P

[indiglo1971]

I love the guy with the glasses at 1:35

[elementz1986]

It's like watching an insane man puke up poetry. I like it.

[xxPetra1]

Definitely one of the most inspiring bands on this planet!

[birdizzle]

My band just did a tribute to The Germs. We did a set as the germs for a Halloween cover show.

Check it out on my page if you're interested

[shamelessfootfucker]

Punkrockers always throw the word poser around so freely but they don't realise that punkrock is just a fashion. LIke every other so called "subculture" or what i like to call subcouture. All it is is just standing around with eccentric clothing and usually participating in extreme intoxication. THATS ALL.

[nirvana2295]

@shamelessfootfucker you just dont get it... its not just a "fashion"...at least its not for me... its a mentality as well its about not giving a shit what people think of you thats why we dress the way we do and act the way we do because society is a fucking bucket of lies being thrown at you... when we use the word poser its toward those who use it only as a Fashion as you described... I mean i agree that now there are alot of stupid fucks that use the style because its "cool" to them...

[iamjeona]

@nirvana2295 damn dude get off darby crash's rotted dead rod already. Everyone has their own opinion and i have watch you bash anyone here that doesn't have yours. Telling everyone to fuck off and die is way not cool. Chill already.

[nirvana2295]

@iamjeona hahaha "Is Way Not Cool"? lmfao... you just said it jackass we all have our opinions...i have mine for jackasses like you so as i told other....FUCK OFF...AND....GO DIE...hahaha pathetic swine...if you dont like it gtfo..

[iamjeona]

@nirvana2295 could you be more unoriginal? and repetitive? you bore me so much that i'm done with my comment.

[nirvana2295]

@iamjeona iamjeona ?..... and im unoriginal?.....well at least your done i wont have much to say to another insignificant swine... :) thank you for commenting but let me suggest that you learn to comment things that spark interest i mean come on i could care less that i bore you the fact that i bore you shows how much of a tool you are lol... you took the time to actually read what i posted hahaha... i suggest you piss off after this..

[iamjeona]

@iamjeona if you do like it then gtfo. follow your own advice. i never even gave my opinion about the band so i'm not real sure what you meant there but to keep telling people to fuck off and die is just plain dumb.

[shamelessfootfucker]

To be a punkrocker means to wear a costume and party a lot till you're completely fried. But everyone parties a lot atleast at some point in their life so what then makes it such an individualistic subculture?

[shamelessfootfucker]

I find it hilarioud how punkrockers have so much pride in not not having any pride. They hold their individuality so close to their hearts but all their little subculture consists of is putting on some ridiculous outfit and standing around lookitng cool and usually some activity that damages mind and body. And then they always call people who listen to other bands that are just as equally as shitty posers. They think they're such fucking warriors but really they're just bottom feeders.

[shamelessfootfucker]

Seems like the only type of underground music that glorifies strength is industrial music. NOt that i would want any of you brain damaged liberals to get into that. And then you have all these stupid crust punk bands who think they are genious. I wonder if they really know what the fuck they're talking about considering how much time they put into dreading their hair putting on patches and studs on they're jackets, over readin books. Punkrockers are just a bunch of little 12 year old junkies.

[MrJackwhiteIII]

1:33.. such grace! such poetic flow! this is why i love the germs

[nirvana2295]

@lunaticoma obviously you dont know who the germs are...and i highly doubt your into punk and if you say you are then your a poser... Darby Crash is a punk icon so fuck off..

[jpliler]

the dubstep of punk



[nirvana2295]

@jpliler please...go die...your a worthless sack of shit just cuz you said that...fuck off

[krookroorocket]

Zero fucks given, their entire career. Satan bless them germs. . .

[nirvana2295]

@krookroorocket take your fucking satanic ass outa here you sound stupid saying that shit

[stormthegates88]

the girl at 1:30 <3

[theoffone]

Darby was the shit back then!!!..we use to call it "slam dancing"..ahh the memories..los angeles hardcore punk ...awesome

[elementz1986]

There's something about Darby's primal howling combined with the competent lyricism...a bizarre dichotomy. It's like watching an insane man puke up poetry. I like it.

[0pine0tron6000]

1 person realizes the creature on his back was Mad Drugs.

[divein360]

all of you can just fucking cry about all you wanna cry about. it gives me something to read while i rock out. lol.

[KronosTheDeejay]

@divein360 well said! isnt it entertaining...

[dropkick23]

american idol winner

[gkooooz]

this is punk rock at its finest. so what if darby was gay. yo daddy was gay. punk rock 4 life biooooootch

[justenkace1]

draby was gay. Get over it. Listen to his torment....listen to him words. He is a tormented soul. Hence the suicides. Sp- basisically- you ignorant fucks...its YOUR fault. You judgmental fault. SO- SO GIVE NE....POOR DARBY- IT WAS you!!!!!!!

[15alecks]

il fuck a fat bitch anyday!!!!!



[hadtoleavelosangeles]

Little kiddies don't get this..never will

[nirvana2295]

@hadtoleavelosangeles agreed

[Brennafugg]

God this shit sucks. He's trying so hard to be fucked up and all "sid Vicious" it's such a lame pose and they sound like SHIT. If this is punk give me Green Day any day

[Killax671]

@Brennafugg if you hate them so much why did you watch this????

The reason people say The Germs are so iconic and "Legendary",

is because they truly didn't give a fuck about how they sounded or made themselves look on stage, and that my friend is what anyone can call "True Punk"

[Brennafugg]

@Killax671

Clearly this is a pose, clearly this is capitalizing on the zeitgeist, if you choose to see it differently, that's on you. Musically? SUCKS. As a band? Completely unoriginal. BORING.

[Killax671]

@Brennafugg Pose? umm no

unoriginal? Thats like saying everyone is unoriginal,...

sucks? The Germs are the DEFINITION of punk!!!!!!

[LittleZappey]

@Killax671 I like how he sounds like he has Autism, Or severe down syndrome.

[Killax671]

@LittleZappey Seriously? that's what caught my attention too......

[LittleZappey]

@Killax671 They sound kind of like the Vishous White Kids, Just more Vishously Handy Caped

[ztztzyzy]

@Brennafugg on your profile you have gary numan. wow, like that crap is any better? and what the hell would you know about sid vicious? you listen to manufactured, over produced CRAP (bieber, jonas, lady caca, maslutta, crappy, er, perry, etc.) means that you have crappy taste in "music". nirvana invited pat smear to play guitar with them, they know music far better than you do. green day are poseurs and NOT punk! stay the hell off the decline (and punk) vids if you don't like it, genius.

[nirvana2295]

@Brennafugg Holy shit you have to be the most retarded sack of shit on this planet...this is punk if you dont like it gtfo poser...and listen to gay ass greenday those faggs aren't punk they never will be so fuck them and fuck you....and do us all a favor and please...go die.

[grungex8]

Pat Smear =)

[SuperGamer1997]

@grungex8 Its awesome to hear that he is still rocking to this day with the foo fighters.

[ThrashinYorkie]

At 1:19, it sounds like Don calls out, "I love you Rob Henley". No one (who claims to be a Gerrms espert) seems to cath that one.

And who is the girl in the red pants, rainbow hair and red & white striped shirt?

[ragsjames]

@ThrashinYorkie It`s Belinda carlile.

[IanInfernal]

@ThrashinYorkie It's Darby. Darby's boy friend was Rob Henley.

[Znahar1988]

банальний висер

[Darkzmanz]

i love how at 1:34 the guy is like "get me the fuck out of here"

[mondocaneman]

This L.A. punk!

I grew up there and then..something some of you little kiddies don't know or even experienced....

[clingrivers]

BAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA



[miloesalazar]

To the fag below, greendaysaint?

These guys fukn paved the road for your little shit band greenday

[greendaysaint8302]

These people sound like they're mentally handicapped. Lol such fags

[nirvana2295]

@greendaysaint8302 Wow for someone that listens to green day which is the biggest poser fake punk band ever i feel truly sorry for you...and id like to slap you bitch of a mother for shitting you out...green day is NOT punk ...this is real punk so fuck off you pathetic waste of life...please go drop into a ditch and die..

[tat2miami]

This is chuck norris's ringtone.

[26Jvegas]

We definitely cannot deny he's smacked up though...

[thenascarguy24]

@andygrohl08 shut the fuck up

[roamnet]

i came into this world like a puzzled panther..waiting to be caged...but something stood in the way...

[dang9669]

@roamnet

I was never quite tamed.....the whole point of the song really

[roamnet]

@dang9669 you got it..that why I left the line unfinished..so someone could pick this up..good job!

[joetfrey]

alchohal

[Lastdaysinthebunker1]

Fucking Germs rule!!! Raw fucked up...!!!!

[FioreCampo]

Darby hadn't been a natural performer, he had to get wasted, cramming anything he could swallow into his mouth. Then he played shows so intense that they hurt you to watch, made you feel like a crappy voyeur. He just needed people to notice him, someone to care. His death was so horribly unnecessary, such a stupid stunt, acted out by someone so sad and fucked up he would kill himself out of a need to be noticed.

This is punk.

[andygrohl08]

I hate punk people! stupid boys

[manhuntruler2]

@andygrohl08 and Punk people hate u, u piece of shit.

[nirvana2295]

@andygrohl08 Punks are worth more than you i bet we actually listen to shit that matters....most of our music is political and has some sort of meaning behind it...and who gives a fuck what you think you fucking hick..fuck off..REAL PUNK NEVER DIES..

[andygrohl08]

I can´t belivieve that Pat played in this band, they sucked!

[omedicius]

@andygrohl08 no respect

[nirvana2295]

@andygrohl08 i cant belive hes playing with thoses faggs he's playing with know...And if it wasn't for the germs he wouldn't be where he is know so fuck you

[theCREAPx]

try this, nothings more punk than crass /watch?v=YIdcDL64KCE and rudimentari peni /watch?v=PsuOeFiKoXo ages before this crap comes from the day the sex pistols were still banned in usa, only these guys called sex pistols sell outs and gave their shit away

[theCREAPx]

k, gimme any fuckin punk band

but the fact that this has been taped is a waste of tape and now als of youtube space...

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx if you don't like this then you don't know what punk truly is...

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 i know punk is the subhumans, crass, 7 seconds, rudimentary peni, the mob, restarts, cockney rejects, oi polloi, oi scouts, orange. but this is noise, not punk

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx This is american hardcore Punk it wasnt about sounding good or playing the intruments good it was to make a point the Germs are hardcore punk Icons...you might know bands but it doesnt mean you know what punk TRULY is.....the reason that he sounds messy is because he was hopped up on heroin....If this isn't Punk then you are either a Poser or stupid.....

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 sounding good?? i didnt say that go check out crass man. thing is, this is punk ok, but i think it sucks

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx i listen to Crass i also listen to black flag, operation ivy, The exploited, the Adolescents, The Circle Jerks, The Adicts, FEAR, etc....Like i said These guys are Hardcore Punk Icons...Im guessing you just judge a band that you clearly dont take the time to know what it was about....Read up more on these guys and then tell me they suck... ive never met a Punk that doesn't like the Germs... the ones that dont, never herd of them or and are posers...so what are you?

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 i dont give a fuck what you think about me, but i dont like the germs, and its so far the only punk band i dont like. also, there can not be a discussion about taste, cause its different for everyone else, so think what you want

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx HAHAHAHAHAHA!....ok poser HAHAHAHA.. ahhh your pathetic....ok ms marry no one want to hurt you precious feeling... because lord knows you wont be able to handle it....hahahahah...your feelings hahaha

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 i dont talk about feelings, its taste, you wouldnt eat a burger if you dont like it would you, asshole

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx hahahahaha ahhh your fucking funny...and thank you i am an asshole hahahaha

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 hey, i know sth, maybe i should quit my job, go snuff glue in a station corner and OD on heroin, cause thats what real punks do, right? i got sth for you: watch?v=L3JbKimTdMg and watch?v=J87NQfwwKcM both shit germs when theyve eaten an infested burrito

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx Hahaha your a fucking idiot...and obviously know nothing of Punk i never said any of the shit you claim i said punks should do....your a complete jackass just go and listen to rise against or Greenday with all the other poser fuck...i bet you listen to the misfits HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx And btw true punk was about not giving a fuck about what people thought of you...and free speech against watever you thought was wrong....sorry this music isn't "perfect" for you princess...and if you dont like them why the fuck did you click on the video you fucking jackass?....im glad you dont like this band less posers to spread the word on an iconic punk band that [TRUE PUNKS] can understand....

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 cos i have to check em out to know them... nuthead. i guess youre one of those punks whose goin 'round in nike sneakers, adidas hoodies and carrying iphones... now THAT is posing. oh and if you didnt give a fuck about what i think, why did you react on my comment??? troll bitch

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx Well guess again jackass... your assumptions are just as retarded as you are... i truly dont care what you think...but i was bored and wanted you to be a little tool for a while just to see how some of you posers argue... your pathetic really and i see just how much of a follower you are considering the fact that you called me a troll....grow up kid and stop putting down what you claim to be...stupid 12 year old

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 haha, im almost 23, and as i check the youtube page, you sir, are indeed a

troll, and noone likes you :) have a nice day pretending youre tough by

pushing your opinion on people like youre osama bin laden, youre like those TRVE BLACKMETAL freaks, 'o man its not about satan, its fake' anyway, nice youve got a world of your own

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx lmfao its no wonder the world is so fucked up wit so called "adults" like you act 12....hahaha your just like those idiots that dont "like" me they are ignorant just like you... as for the osama bin laden comment and for some reason you brought up Satan..i have no idea wtf your talking about im agnostic so idk were you got Satan from...also the "TRVE BLACKMETAL freaks" i hate metal all i listen to is punk and ska ...so like i said your assumtions are as retarded as you are if not more

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 yeh, everybody's stupid, only you are 'cool' i get it. and only punk is good, and what shit more.... youre so predictable that my dog can figure out what kind of person you are...nutter

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx oh man you hurt my feelings ahhhh man your comments are so original ive never herd them before hahahahaha

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 yeah you probably hear them all day...

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx yeah that might be it lol its funny how assholes like you pull shit out of their ass and expect to be seen as original....ive herd everything you have said before which means that you probably got it off other people hahaha please say something new..

[theCREAPx]

@nirvana2295 how can i say sth original to someone who doesnt give a shit about how much of an asshole he is. youre like the punk version of george bush: 'dumb? no man im doing the world a favour with my existence' i see people like you all day and theyre worth shit, they mean shit and they do shit. i cant even say 'you are' cause you dont seem to be aware of anything except that the world turns around you. but i guess ill stop talking to you so you have time to clash with other people, as i see

[nirvana2295]

@theCREAPx hahahah nice assumptions looks like your the one who is dumb... you have never met me or know anything about me lol so how can you call me any of that... looks like i have more sense than you

[gkooooz]

hell yeah this is pure rock n roll baby--totally groovy man ----germs are the shit--fuck metallica this is hard core at its best bitcch

[misfits765]

music is absolutely screwed up these days time for some REAL music!

[AliensexKitten000]

love when he growls!! you can literally feel anger in that shit haha ,If you dont like the germs than you will never fully understand punkrock......

[lilSnubby]

It's terrible. I love it.

[bigpaulie68]

"Don't confuse lack of talent with genius"

[82coma]

if you dont like The Germs you have no place in punkrock...Seriously.

[edvww]

hehe, thanks for the subtitles - wouldn't have guessed without :D

[landfill2]

hahahah 1:30. that chick is possesed!!!

[omedicius]

to reduce arguments i think we should just have 2 genres of music. one will be the good genre wich will have bands like the germs, bad brains, nirvana, afghan whigs, sonic youth, pixies, x, and anything else that isn't made by a robot. and then the second genre will be crap like nickleback beiber and all the other sell out whores who continue to ruin this generation for kids like me

[punkyloser23]

@omedicius agreed :)

[Suttiplutt]

hahahahhaha this one is fucking sick and hillarius like a puzzle panther indeed hahahahahaha

[fyiyrcn]

Grn Dead french kisses Paul shaffers ass

[gun9834]

best punk band ever...... puuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzled paaaaaaaaaaaaoooowwaaaaaaghhhh

if darby went on american idol he'd win

[shantanukhandkar]

1:30....Poser Alert!!

[smurfs3410]

Green Day WAS punk. Now they went to the media and tried to keep them labeled punk but they're not. They are jst simply sellouts.

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

i wouldnt say darbys a great singer. he got his own swag thats cool. but he cant sing for shit its like a yell with mumbmbles and growls and shit. LYRICALY though, hes ill.

[LubricatedSquirm]

@DAROCKNESSMONSTAH

"he cant sing for shit its like a yell with mumbmbles and growls and shit"

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't that the point?

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

@LubricatedSquirm every song is though.

[LubricatedSquirm]

@DAROCKNESSMONSTAH

Perhaps I'm still way off, but isn't that the point?

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

@LubricatedSquirm the fuck you mean? hes not a good singer thats all im sayin. the germs are still sick but shit you cant say that darby is a great singer at all. he screams mumbles and doesnt project or pronounce all of the words.

[LubricatedSquirm]

@DAROCKNESSMONSTAH

For the umpteenth time, isn't that the point?

What makes Darby a great singer is his manic presentation. The rabid screams and mumbles make him sound all the more like an aggressive lunatic, which, by my estimation, is the point. If he sang everything on key without even the slightest deviance from typical song structure, the Germs would be boring as shit.

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

@LubricatedSquirm be strait forward. just sayin thats the point doesnt mean shit lol. but i dont get it becuase his words are great, delivery though great, singing skills...there are none. thats like sayoin bob dylan is a great singer, dude has a shitty voice but the words and the music is what gets you too listen, just like the germs.

[LubricatedSquirm]

@DAROCKNESSMONSTAH

If you're looking for people who sing well, punk rock probably wasn't the best genre to get into.

[DAROCKNESSMONSTAH]

@LubricatedSquirm o really idgaf about skill as long as the whole thing sounds good and it does. darbys gotta presence to him but he has 0 skill as do alot of other punk singers but idgaf, shit jams the fuck out lol

[nirvana2295]

@LubricatedSquirm god finally someone who fucking has some sense over these stupid little kids..

[GenerationWhyBother]

Justin Bieber is punk rock.

[munggipossu]

@GenerationWhyBother hahahaha funny joke

[9krt]

Thirty years ago today, Darby Crash took his life back. Like a panther waiting to be caged. He never claimed to be part of anything: he had no class, creed, or politics, and yet he shaped a generation of artists and musicians. Darby, I hope that where you went is better than where you came from. Fuckin' love you, bro.

[HelloFizzy]

@9krt no way he died december 14th?! ohhhh i feel like i knew him, fuckin love darby,even if i wasnt alive back then i feel his words

[elementz1986]

The drummers little pose at the end made me laugh.

[TheAxis15]

Good stuff but is he high

[gun9834]

@TheAxis15 he was probably on enough heroin to kill forty elephants

[BIGSTOOGE88]

wish i could have ben there : ( a man can dream tho ,

r.i.p. darby

[ImRichieDagger]

DONT YOU EVER DARE COMPARE GREEN DAY TO THE FUCKEN GERMS!!!!!!

[missbraindamage]

Darby WAS a poet. And fuck you guys who are too pretentious to even consider otherwise.

[deathbot290]

@missbraindamage yea he was a poet but none of that actually made it to the stage he barely sang any of the lyrics if he did though im sure they would have been known for more than his drug antics

[missbraindamage]

@deathbot290 WELL His lyrics made it to his album. Or did you not know musicians had albums?

@missbraindamage wow way to be an asshole I did not know artistss had albums thanks for telling me. If he didnt pass out onstage, actually sang his lyrics, and had a little just a little self control he could have been a lot more
