[MrAntipattern]

Is this the kind of Work you to do? ..... This song was the Inspiration to the Front Cover Graphics of my book "Geburt einer Vision"

[CosmicTantra]

Saw them twice: 1989 in Cirkus Krone (Munich) - that was the best ever!

And 1991 in Airport Munich - good but not as good as 2 years before.

But: FRONT242 ARE EBM - they are the best!!! ^^

[soultaker242]

Zwei - Vier - Zwei !!! Yeahhhh

[tronchamonas1]

Richard 23 incredible as always...

[jaxorbetter]

I saw this tour in Salt Lake City. Amazing! My t-shirt from the show reads, "Punish Your Machine." I was always asked what that meant.

[excepteuropa1]

I saw this tour in Dallas (May of '89, I believe). Greatest show I've ever seen.

[nasalflute]

this is friggin baddasss!!

[excel20078]

I saw these guys live 15 times in their time. IF you were there I am sorry for my behavior.

[minimalista242]

solar rays keep shower... metal shell

[springbay1]

If i remember correctly, some guy from my school managed to "borrow" the Emulator discs from the stage after the concert. Word got around who had the discs and they were returned a few days later. The guy was then greatly rewarded with tour souvenirs by the band.

[kristo242]

[milano1919]

80... the best period for the music

[mybrainhurtsalot]

Punish your machine.

[kamisama72]

I saw them in Manchester, April 1989. First and best gig I ever went to.

[djmisfit]

The following month in 1989 they played in Chicago. What a crazy, violent show. I was 14 and getting stomped. Wicked times and a great tour!

[SCHMPC22]

Dude, I was at the same show at the Metro! Awsome!

[Demarchist]

i'm a bit sad that this was way before my time, would've loved to have seen these guys live

[saxismyaxe]

@Demarchist

I saw them live, in the 90's, and it was basically two guys standing in front of their keyboards the whole time like DJs. Same with New Order.

Now Skinny Puppy, Ministry and Pig Face, they put on a show.

[cybertronix666]

@Demarchist  Trust me your better off, Imagine what its like seeing them back then, and having to live with the pathetic state music of now.

[dsoaudio]

@Demarchist This was my time! And yes, you would have loved to have seen these guys live! Best gig I ever went to was Front 242 way back when. And this is a great track.

[fauconet]

2.12 min ...front 242 's heart .

[Walterkind]

[milano1919]

could someone post the lyrics?

[fedbymum]

This is by the way from Gothenburg sweden I remember that stupid guy who went up on stage and tried to dance with R23 and also gave him the finger.

[Mrnin1]

lol does he get shoved off stage hard to see

[jofach]

Gosh, i think your right, Kåren, or?

In that case a was at the same concert, awsome!

F242 4 ever

[pawel242]

that was awesome and now it is still awesome

[smoothstalin]

I love this band! Ministry and Front 242 the two top bands for me.

[chaikovskiy]

its martin`s gore favourite groupe

[dogchow11]

Ok Kids, 242 sounds crude and rough here. These guys had just pounded the club scene with tunes like "Welcome to Paradise" and "Headhunter". This came from the 1989 "Never Stop" release. The New Beat generation was being taken over by the Techno and Hardfloor sounds like this. Go find the "Never stop" mini album. It is highly acidic, and rythmic. Also look for Greater than one, old Ministry, PTP, Depth Charge, Acid Horse, Technoid, New Scene, Enzyme ETC. Evolution.

[helosix]

Listen Carefully!

[jnmunsey]

When they played at Numbers in Houston in 1989 people kept throwing stuff at them so they cried and stopped the show. It was an AWESOME 20 minutes though, and I really wished they could have played more.. Everyone in Houston loved this band but a couple jackwads spoiled it for the rest of us.

[milano1919]

"shelter sloke and honor rolling sky", "the solar rays keep shower metal shell", "the streaming landscapes below" "the choice is clear and the end is near"

[milano1919]

I cannot explain why all the 80s artist from all kind of music decided to change their beat. Listen to this rhythm and the sound of the drum. It's tipically from 1980's. This is the sound? I know that for an evolution a change is needed but... Listen to this perfect sound. Look at their look and clothes. That was awesome

[khanreaper]

Listen carefully! --- From waste dot org:

"the solar rays keep shower metal shell", "the streaming landscapes below" "the choice is clear and the end is near"

Any other ideas?

[peace0ff]

this is cool because john is totally composed but like a speaker

[fedbymum]

My first live concert experience, I was only 16 and stunned.

[milano1919]

can someone write lyrics?

[DeamcCeltic]

YESSSSSSSSS

242 do

these gus put a new meaning te electro...

Rammstein???

neeeehhhh

in ritmus bleiben...hey poor!!!!Jusus is here!!

[milano1919]

what are the lyrics?

[815oceanic815]

After watching a lot of footage from 242...you can tell that these guys were pretty damn influencial. The way they work a crowd seems to have been copied by many artists. I hate hiphop, but hip hop artist seem to do/try the same things on stage.

[peace0ff]

yeah but a bunchh of technowave bands were doing this earlier than shit-hop. a lot of late 70s electronic had a punk edge  to it. thus the aggression.

[anTONYM2M2]

peace0ff AKA yourgayassdrinkspiss

Gotcha No 56

sorry mate

For all those people you insulted on youtube with your nasty shit like "NIGGER" and " hope your mum gets cancer " and " you got aids "

you deserve all the shit i could possibly pour on you !

What's so amazing is your quite happy to call black people niggers one minute and then on another channel say how fond you are of electronic music.

Your such a cretin, i mean, at your age OVER 40

its embarressing

[kikaijin]

Couldn't go to this show, only 14yrs. with no car.

[Penguin68]

Reminds me of the first time I saw them live. Thx!

[1alopezpr]

Now we talking!!!
