  • great band. i love the solo on this song!

  • Im so glad adam sandler is from manchester and was in a punk rock movie it makes my chances of actually being good better

  • fuck Joel Rifken for killing Tiffany Bresciani, Dave Rubenstein's last money source...

  • @ Knarf009 .. im offended at being called a sheltered white kid

  • FUCKING A RIGHT! Now this is music and the best shit that isn't around anymore but should be all over the air waves and the internet....

  • Haha... I have Airheads... but never realized that they were singing Reagan Youth... damn, I am ... oblivious

  • @184Films Thats why airheads was a good movie :), it shows you the way to Reagan Youth

  • Why does that cunt Brendan Fraser have more views then the original?

  • @RyNDonLE because its like a remastered but too much changes, I want this version but with a clear sound, (not too punk :)

  • @hellmind "not too punk"....really? REALLY? wow.

  • AIRHEADS

  • You cunts need to shut up, and just listen for fucks sake. Over analyzing punk rock is fucking retarded.

  • @89punk, Punk Rock! Fuck yeah!

  • Kind of hypocritical for him to sing about. The lead singer was a heroin addict.

  • I fucking love this song, its ironic the singer turned into what the lyrics talk about in then end. Ps. What the fuck is George W Bush doing sitting with those kids?

  • When you die and meet st peter, he will ask you if you ever heard of Reagan Youth. When you sday YES, he will send you back to earth to complete your mission.

  • i dont know iam black and the kkk thing caught me off guard but i still like the song racist or not

  • @imperialsnyc They weren't racist. They hated racism, the usage of hate symbols was to call attention to the fact that racism was very much alive. In fact, the lead singer's parents were holocaust survivors, they definitely weren't a fascist band.

  • Comment removed

  • There's too many fucking Johnny's where I live!

  • Reagan Youth was an anti-racist band and used their KKK and Nazi references as satire. I was kinda worried, but I looked it up to confirm it.

  • @SirSoundWaves thats always what punk rock is man. scarcasim!!!!  rock on dude

  • 1:30 - 1:56 nice!

  • care about the music not about the fucken politics. this song is cooooooooool

  • haters are gonna hate....

  • just saw them in anaheim... had no idea the singer hung himself

  • JOHNNY'S BLACK!

  • THESE GUYS COPIED SEX PISTOLS!

  • @koakrew23 kill yourself

  • Johnny is effing puck as shit

  • are these fucking kiddies hating on Daves singing? What a bunch of fucking idiots.

  • Cant wait to see them august 27 in Anaheim!

  • R.I.P...

  • AWESOME!! Just awesome.

  • Airheads made this song listenable. The drummer's great but the singing is fucking terrible.

  • @clipsryan no.

  • @daviddowns81 Yup

  • @clipsryan I totally remember these guys. And it's not even "good bad" singing, you know? It's just terrible. There's just no showmanship at all.

  • best solo ever

  • The "live & Rare" Album Is the BEST...This album and version sucks

  • awesome shit

  • my fav reagan youth song by far

  • This is fucking pathetic compared to the version in Airheads.

  • one of the greatest punk songs ever !

  • Ring a bell and he start to drool, i experienced this, it was fuckin funny!

  • Why are they called reagan youth?? I mean Ronald Reangan was a fucking phsyco bastard!!

  • @rudytico It's called irony. Punk is obviously lost on you. This song makes fun of people like you.

  • @dystopiainmyhead I just didnt understand why to name a band after such a bastard!!!

  • @rudytico It's an allusion to the Hitler Youth. They were saying Reagan was as bad as Hitler.

  • I don't understand why everyone is bitching about the lack of polish on this...Last I checked this fucking punk rock...

  • @Plazmattack Meh. You know in your heart this is some forgettable punk bro.

  • @Plazmattack I get tired of punk fans who use the "it's punk!" card anytime someone calls out a legitimate fault with a song. There are plenty of punk bands that put time and effort into their songs and they end up with a well polished product. This song probably took them 30 minutes to put together.

    This is no better than the shit T-Pain shovels out.

  • @Knarf009 These were kids in the 80's with little recording know-how and very little money. It isn't like today with the decent pretty easy to use recording equipment at our fingertips, they did with what they had and this is what they got. You're obviously not taking the age in which this was produced into consideration, not like it is today. As for the T-Pain comment, FUCK YOU!

  • @89punk Yeah and little kids can scribble out crayon drawings on paper, but we don't sit it up with Monet, Picasso or Rembrandt. We look at it for what it is, an untrained child trying to make art.

    These guys don't know what they're doing at all, they're untrained, but somehow they're allowed to sit up with real talent and we're not to question it? T-Pain can't sing and these guys can't compose and record a song to save their life, why do they get away with it?

  • @Knarf009 important.

  • @Knarf009 This shit was about the message first and foremost, quality of the music being secondary. No one is saying the shit is high art. T-Pain doesn't have any real message, so the comparison is terrible. Reagan Youth was raw youth angst and the music comes off as such. The music may not be great by musician standards, but that was never the point of punk rock. Punk rock was a venue for the little guy to be heard, and if that meant he had minimal talent, so be it. It's the message that's.

  • @89punk Their "message" doesn't matter though. That's a gimmick to get away with poor quality "art." They're complaining about the world, but they don't do anything to change it and anytime they DO get off their lazy asses they make vulgar efforts that do more harm to their cause than good.

    If anything, T-Pain is better because at least his music isn't false to its' subject matter.

    These lyrics are pretentious, lacking a resolution, and dry. If this is their emphasis then they suck.

  • @Knarf009 wow...

    YOU MAD?

  • @Clerks0 Nah, are you?

  • @Knarf009 Becasue real punk bands record onto reel to reel and then on to 8 track.

  • @Portlandhardstylers That's like a kid with down syndrome bragging about his styrofoam helmet.

  • @Knarf009 It was a joke haha

  • @Knarf009 why should making music, especially with genuine feeling and energy be limited to people who dedicate their lives to mastering an instrument and playing every note to some "perfect" standard? THis is the beauty of such music... rising above all self defeatist thinking depression and doubt, saying fuck it i want to do this and i will...music for the losers of society who are proud of that label.. oh fuck it why bother you're probably someone who only listens to FLAC

  • @GodListensToSlayerr Being a loser is absolutely nothing to be proud of. That is the very thing I'd point to if I wanted to illustrate gross complacency. We, as people, should seek to better ourselves. We should praise those that make an effort to be more than what is expected of them. We should NEVER settle for people who don't even make an effort, let alone PRAISE them! We shouldn't settle for music that innovates on nothing and makes no effort to be quality music.

  • @Knarf009 well maybe your life was a care free blissfull existance, i grew up in what was voted as the shittest town in england, spent most of my school time as a loner, got shit at school for things beyond my control like appearance, spent my time at home witnessing abuse and being raised wrong and hateful.. throughout most of my life i was bitter and felt like life was pointless but this music helps me remember we all have choices to become better people and do what we want regardless of...

  • @GodListensToSlayerr .. what happened in the past, as in the end if you have the energy and enthusiasm you can be whatever you want. these songs remind me of the times i was called a loser and all the hateful comments that brought me down actually fuel me to become whatever the fuck i want at any given time... yeah i may be a loser but now im damn proud because if i didnt have that label i would never realise how important it is to make the most of life even when the odds are stacked against you

  • @GodListensToSlayerr i know this is tl;dr and boring but one last thing: how far is too far when it comes to innovation? most of the best music is simple but made with raw energy. Music is subjective, if your opinion that this is too simple, poor and badly made, to be "good" then fine. But then what is "good" music to you? Complex fret wankery? a lot of music has no feeling behind it.. music for the sake of music.. i believe this band played because they BELIEVED in what they had to say.

  • @GodListensToSlayerr Well that was a nice little irrelevant tangent. Back to the point, you don't know what the fuck innovation is. Innovation is the creation of something new or presenting something old in a new way. Reagan Youth sounds like every other fucking hardcore band at this time. They weren't the innovators, they were the copy cats in a sea of people all trying to sound like the "scene." That's all fine and dandy and reiteration is fine, but people need to keep it in perspective.

  • @Knarf009 ahaha you are so deluded its unbelievable. innovation isnt always neccessary or good. if it aint broke dont fix it. none of their songs sound the same anyway. you just want to argue and cause some commotion , so whatever, cool, in your opinion this band is shit and useless, luckily the majority of sane people think otherwise and appreciate the bands mindless boring generic noise

  • @GodListensToSlayerr You continue to prove to me that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. The term "innovation" connotes something positive. So your idea that innovations aren't always good is flawed by the very connotation of the word. Furthermore, if artists didn't innovate then we'd have one genre of music, punk wouldn't even exist.

    You keep proving that you're uneducated and it's now abundantly clear that you like this simply because you don't know any better. It's sad.

  • @Knarf009 pahahahhaa i love your attempt at being pretentiously clever and going off on different tangents in our little conversation ... bottom line is music is a bunch of noises at different pitches and rythms and its totally subjective. shame if you cant understand that, and again, if you dont enjoy this, okay, your loss:)

  • @Knarf009 the A-bomb was an innovation.... was that good???

    well maybe for you but not the japs..

  • @virtue696 I like how you're implying criticism of the A-Bomb and then refer to the Japanese people by a racial slur. When you look at the A-Bomb it panned out to be a good thing. What the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki prevented was the partitioning of Japan, like in Vietnam and Korea. Had the bombs not been dropped then half of Japan could be living in the same conditions North Koreans are enduring. It's an ugly situation where ugly things were done, but Japan wasn't innocent under Tojo.

  • @Knarf009 No opinion on the A-Bomb discussion but I will put my two cents in about the racial slur thing. I think words have no meaning to them unless deciphered by the reader. Just like heeb was a slur against jews before they accepted it and took it as their own effectively eliminating most hateful connotations with it. Also, I use the argument that it could only be an offensive slur if it was used in a hateful manner. Plus, the term Japs has become widely socially acceptable.

  • @TheOfficialSyndrome You're obviously a sheltered white kid who doesn't know shit about racism. Jap is NOT socially acceptable, say it to a Japanese person and see how they react. Heeb was replaced by Kike and the Jewish community has NEVER accepted the term.

    Nigger is still very offensive, even though some black people call each other "nigga" as a term of endearment.

    It doesn't matter if the slur is said in anger or with hate, they're dehumanizing terms no matter how you say them.

  • @Knarf009 You're obviously a fucking loser with no fucking friends or social antennas, because no one cares that much about racial slur anymore, fucking retard. I have no idea where you live, but that place must be the most tense place in the whole fucking world.

    Your comment makes me want to stick a knife through my fucking screen and hope for you being on the other side. You don't know shit about racism, faggot.

    Also, are you an aspie? Because you really act like one.

  • @Clerks0 Get back to your white suburbs and resume your life of ignorance.

    Protip: You can't harm me and never will be able to, but your futile anger is amusing. ;)

  • @Knarf009 Who said I was white.. Damn retard

  • @Plazmattack i know right, old shitty sounding punk rock is the coolest sounding punk there is dudes!!!! i fucking love this shit!

  • Oh my god those this song suck...wow...I can't believe a movie actually made a better version. The band can't play, the singer can't sing, the whole version of this song sucks.

  • @wdunn6996 welcome to punk rock, the raw and real.

  • @wdunn6996 wtf are you fucking joking this song has so much balls it would swallow you whole brendon fraiser and to slow it down and he took the attitude out of it

  • @wdunn6996 You are a fucking idiot. Great song ^. Great band

  • @wdunn6996 piss off.

  • This was also covered by Degeneration, Jesse Mallin's old glam-punk band.

  • @mperrotti76 U mean D Generation.

  • i was watching that movie airheads recently and fipped out! haha they started playing the song and i stared sing along then i was like "why do i know this song?... OH SHIT ITS REAGAN YOUTH!! haha

  • brendan fraser sings it better

  • Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant

    He's a blind and brainwashed pig

    Ring a bell, he starts to drool

    I think it's

    He's a mindless brainwashed fool

  • vocals are terrible? welcome to H.C.

  • @j2thakhomeboy LOL, seriously.

  • he's a mindless brainwashed pig.

  • The cover is by Prong, not brendan frasier

  • Airheads contains possibly the worst cover of any song in the history off rock. It's unlistenable due to Brendan Fraziers inability to perform it with the attitude of Reagan Youth.

  • @junglej25 I GOTTA SAY THE AIRHEADS VERSION WAS ACTUALLY GOOD

  • @junglej25 rock and roll!!! lone rangers rules!

  • @junglej25 I personally found the cover better

  • @KingDan6 well you obviously have terrible taste in music then

  • @420Cannabis it seemed to have much more energy to it, what with the drum opening and all

  • i just got done watching airheads. brendan fraiser sucks and slaughtered this song.

  • @0iTrojanSkinz0i Airheads > your life.

  • @ThazuaBlackarrow wutever asshole. there wouldnt be a fucking airheads cover without the original you dipshit. reagan youth > airheads. ThazuaBlackarrow = 8====D -----

  • airheads version was way better

  • @skatertimmy14 I agree, much better.

  • @explosivoification It sucks balls and the vocals are terrible

  • Greatness

  • Johnny just don't understand

    Johnny don't care about this world

    As long as he can fuck a girl

    And prove that he's a man

    (the lyrics will be written in my heart forever)

  • @WhateverHappenedToFu same here! and also this part for me.

    Getting high proves that he's cool

    Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant

    He's a blind and brainwashed pig

    Ring a bell, he starts to drool

  • Comment removed

  • @NoFuturePete Try to be strong enough to control the mind wash, not for music, for everything.

  • @NoFuturePete Why?, music is good, I don't care the message, you should ignore the message if you dont like ti.

  • fuck you al // reagan youth arent naziz and th kk thing is for fun ..

  • fuck you al // reagan youth arent naziz and th kk thing is for fun .. im firnds with them

  • the kkk thing was a joke right?

  • @8ninjaguy8 Who cares, I'm white

  • @hellmind yeah but i like how they sound but i dont wanna listen to a hate group

  • @8ninjaguy8 You just listen them, if they are nazi or criminals doesn't care. If you listen Queen do you turn gay?

  • @hellmind you sound like a fucking idiot

  • @hellmind Wow, what a fucking moron.

  • @8ninjaguy8 yeah, bassically most of the band were jewish... and also anarchist/socialist.

  • Haha Are you serious?

    They're Anti racist.

    

  • @attaktowl77 i kinda figured it was a joke but yeah good song anyway

  • @8ninjaguy8

    Reagan Youth were anarchists and anti-fascists. The name of the band and the KKK artwork was ironic

  • @TheMindtoaster ik i kinda figured tht out lol just makin sure

  • @8ninjaguy8 Yes, the singer is actually a jew.

  • @8ninjaguy8 It's provoction and to poke fun at racist and conservatives! They are anarchist, so have fun to listen to them ;)

  • @8ninjaguy8 "Reagan Youth is an aggressively anarchist, socialist, and anti-racist band, and often utilized Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party imagery for satirical effect"

  • @8ninjaguy8 to answer you, yes, the kkk thing is a joke used as comparison to reagan's goverment. Apparently some people just have to be arseholes and just fuck with people when somebody asks a question.

  • @8ninjaguy8 yes

    

  • Sk8boarding full speed to this song is the best!

  • love this!! used to play this album as we were getting ready to go out to gigs...

  • happy 100th birthday in president reagan.

  • @billjesusgates Really? I think you're on the wrong video man...hahahahaahahahaha

  • PUNK AS FUCK! THIS BAND STARTED MY LOVE FOR THE NYC SCENE!

  • PUNK AS FUCK!

  • the one concert I could Kick My Ass for not seeing (mid-80's atlanta), w/ Dave.

    I've got the original vinyl and another on red vinyl not played (not same cover art) (OH SHIT!!!, well, that and more was what a black friend of mine from D.C.said when he happened to see the cover when he came ever one night, try talking your way out of that one, lol, but we know the truth, right?)

  • Thank you for uploading this!!! <3 It's really hard to find the studio version of this song!

  • @lexriani Thats why I uploaded
