The Bags-Babylonian Gorgon

[prunepurple]

A classic

[deftones311100]

pisses me off no record label ever decided to put this on dvd, beacuse its a huge part of punk rock history

[TheVMROCKS1]

Woo! I figured out Alice was my dad's aunt. So awkward.

[wips101]

@TheVMROCKS1

awkward? that's awesome!!

[weirdkb]

been dying all day to hear this song

[AliceBag1]

Don't want your private lives

Don't want your industrial eyes

Your politician dreams, your psychodrama scenes

One false move, you're gonna die

Don't want, don't need the seed that you sow

Get out of my way, I'm ready to go

Tear down, rip up your idol's photograph

burn it all just for a laugh

[truckngirl]

@AliceBag1 Hi Alice! Hope all is well with you? Spreading the LA punk scene word in Kansas City now. Love you always! Linda Bomblast...

[AliceBag1]

Don't need no false reasons for why I'm out of place,

I don't goose step for the Master Race

I don't scream and twist just for the fun of it

I'm poisoned blood when I'm pissed

Chorus:

Here I go, Babylonian Gorgon

I'm gonna babble, babble on.

So when you're near me don't be fake

It's gonna be your last mistake

[wegertje1]

I'm 46 years old .Still get the shivers of this song

[els1time]

alice bag i love you

[mondocaneman]

Wow! good old memories from L.A.! I feel like a kid now.

I am soooooo old!

[cythera431]

[irenoidee]

[AliceBag1]

@irenoidee Just posted the requested lyrics.

[irenoidee]

@AliceBag1 Awww it's a whole life I'm searching, thank you!!

[BarrioPunkRock]

new music sucks ?

thats a stereotype . there is an underground

[dorkydorkone]

Wish I could find the lyrics to this song.....

[GenoClown]

:/ I WISH THERE WAS MORE BAGS ON YOUTUBE!!! There's BUTTLOADS of Screamers, and they never even released anything!

[basuioy]

Anybody can give to me the lyrics of this song please ????

[Jcale101]

Wow the head producer/founder of dangerhouse taught at one of my classes today and im just starting to realize how important he actually was

[peppermintwardrobe]

just got Dangerhouse volume 1 and 2 from a local record shop. felt like i found a treasure chest :)

[goldenagenut]

@peppermintwardrobe - Great find! You got lucky, hidden gold indeed! The original punk bands that a lot of people would listen to nowadays and say 'but that's not punk/hardcore!' Yes,it is.

[GenoClown]

-_- Quit talking about all of "today's crap" in Punk Rock videos. Yes, the 2000s have been a terrible generation in music, but some people like myself come to these videos to get AWAY from that crap. Quit bringing it here.

[LokiClock]

@GenoClown You all just haven't been in touch with the people listening to the good stuff. The people who missed punk were probably just as stuck on how great music from before was. Once you're convinced that what's given to you - what has the money to make it to your ears whether you like it or not - is all that's out there, you've lost a little battle, and one day you wake up to find yourself unable to understand modern culture.

[NORMLduder]

@GenoClown HEAR HEAR! WELL PUT SIR!

[Vlinderkindje]

if you like a band you should at least buy one album of them, but for you REALLY broke fuckers (though i don't understand how you can buy a computer than :D) : haven't you heard of soulseek? there you'll find some really nice music, including this!

[smexytoria]

You can download off youtube..

[PRESTOTHECAT]

Play the b-side. Survive.

[swanditch]

@PRESTOTHECAT Survive is the A side

[000500006]

I've tired downloading their songs but there is none, I love the bags they fucken rule.

[RippingFadedSmiles]

WOW!!.

Where the hell can i found this kind of vynils?

[000500006]

I agree with GenoClown I've tried to download their songs but there's none.

[skatezombie83]

buy a recorder and make a mix tape.... i'm so doing that.

[gkoz791]

great tune, * * * * * it's badass!!!

[Taktwo2]

Where the hell do I get a Bags album? Can't seem to find any.

[goldenagenut]

Only one EP,rare and long out of print, check ebay,they were on some old school punk compilations too. This song and 'We Will Bury You' are on the second Dangerhouse collection (vol.2- which has been re-released recently on vinyl and I think on cd as well).

[TheFacelessK]

survive, babylonian gorgon, we dont need the english violent girl, animal call, gluttony, 7 and 7 is, real emotion and prowlers in the night.

the bags are the chick singer punk band way better than runaways, vice squad and 45 grave

[ragingharlot13]

ahmen!

[Jacklord1967]

The CHild Molesters!!!!!

[truckngirl]

5 stars from Linda Bomblast

[FetishJade]

well I was THERE! The bags were the best girl band, Alice could scream like no other. We hung out at the mask. Alice is still about, she has a website and twitter etc. She is from East LA. 

PHOENIX old school punk from Redondo Beach (aka jade)

[SimonRamone1]

agree with Oi325

X was pretty kickass too...

But still The Bags beat them all in my opinion

[Oi325]

yeah yur right but gotta give credit to x and the germs black flag circle jerks and fear were good decline 1 is the best punk movie

[Oi325]

the germs kicked ass to

[jesselakerr]

not as much as the bags though

[Erey15]

where can i get a copy of this ? O.O

[OfficialFreak]

Why is it that I can't find their lyrics anywhere, yet I see lyrics for Lady GaGa or Kanye West's talentless asses EVERYWHERE?!

[eatmyface1234]

yea i can't find the lyrics 4 this anywhere it's a damn shame :(

[DroogMonkey]

i know..it sucks. its hard to find old punk lyrics like the bags or raped...but if you look hard enough youll find it.

good luck

[jodiefostersarmy]

When will there be an anthology type thing released on cd? There is ZERO available now. Fuckin sucks.

[FallenBrigade]

does anyone have this album on mp3?

[adda89]

i have something like that. about 12 tracks.

[philochs]

Check out "the bags - best of the bags" video it has even more classic studio tracks from the bags, some quite rare. We Don't Need The English, Disco's Dead, We Will Bury You, and Survive are included. And see "the bags - car hell", it has 2 rare demo tracks.

I have vids of TSOL, FEAR, LA's Wasted Youth, Red Cross, Sin 34, The Vandals,Symbol Six,Rik L Rik, The Chiefs, 45 Grave, The Faction, D.I., The Middle Class,China White,Zero Boys,Eddie and the Subtitles,The Germs,Necros,Circle Jerks...

[arizeal]

why do you hate the vids of these bands? kinda unusual

[philochs]

What? I love those bands, that's why I made videos of those bands, go watch em' they're cool.

[arizeal]

sorry my mistake :(

[NefariousSpineLizard]

One of my favorite bands! To the poster: can I come over and listen to records? Please?

[goldenagenut]

Damn I'd love to hear/see her play this song live!!

[giadarling]

East Los Punkx!!!!!!!!

[Chuckjagermeister]

This is hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-­standing-up rock. There was so much awesome shit musically that never went commercial. Now you have crap like creed and my chemical romance. No equal, man.

[INITIALSJE]

@Chuckjagermeister Creed Rocks! Just joking. I know what you mean.

[nrjan]

I'm the proud owner of the 7''. Like this clip.

[goldenagenut]

You totally suck, I'm green with envy! :)

[mavsfan15]

where can i get this on mp3?

[Superman12287]

If I told you...I'd have to kill you

[mavsfan15]

i'll run that risk lol

[MarkDChapmanJr]

WOW! Its been SOOOO long since I heard this song, I forgot I've ever head it in the first place!! WAAAYY too long. That Thunders style guitar is fucking killer. Yeah Alice is still out there on the web and myspace, and I believe performs here and there- god bless her for it! The Bags are so underrated in the perspective of things.

[oramikleepunk]

It's hard to find this cd.This is the real punk before hardcore.

[whereislucky]

i never saw her but GODDAMN i love the 77 sound

[denadork]

i just saw them at the claremont museum of art and they were AMAZING

[TotallyUncool]

I just saw Alice at the Claremont Museum of Art. She sounded really good and she looked great -- and she sang Babylonian Gorgon.

[hauntedcathouse]

Yes, I was there and she was amazing!

[nrjan]

@TotallyUncool

Tell her to go tour to Holland..

There's at least one fan left who still got the E.P.

[creamstripe]

Haunted Cathouse,

Thank you for posting this. Can you please do the other side of this great single (Survive.)? Thanks again.

[killherdress]

I saw alice bag play towards the beggining of this year, she played a bunch of bags songs and it was amaizing!! and she still looks the same!!

[hauntedcathouse]

I was at the show! I met her after the show!!! She keeps getting better with age.

[totalstranga]

great song! I love the early Cali punk music before HC took over. you dont have sanfrancisco's doomed by Crime by any chance? that song just sums it all up. I wish someone would post that song on here..

[agsaunders]

oh cool. i was wondering what became of them. any word on catholic discipline?

[bateriabajo]

I believe Kickboy Face died some years ago.

[AliAssaSeen]

He did

[JefferySchmitz]

kick ass heard this on MRR podcast the other day

[dompy1]

F*ckin' great band. Met Alice once in the early eighties after a Bags show in Pomona, CA. She was really sweet.

[otoantid]

Great song and great band

[4321Blastoff]

BAGS! Fuckin' LOVE 'EM. Never ever get tired of listening to the Dangerhouse catalog. Best punk ever.

[jonathan732]

Negative!

The best punk band and truly the germs

[MyTunnel]

He said the Dangerhouse record label, not the Bags themselves. Get your head out of your ass.
