[Oi325]

RIP claude (kickboy) bessey

[desamator11]

what he says iin the begining is the exact way i feel towards most people.right fucking on!

[RoilNoise]

one of my favorite songs ever

[aupsychobilly]

Hey! theghostofgiants this is so fucking good...I have Decline on DVD, the quality is not great but better than the VHS tape was.

[PunkValenzuela]

does Kick Boy remind anybody else of Johnny Knoxville?

this song is badass by the way, been listening to it hella times, anyone know if theres any other shit recorded by them?

[ShawnAbnoxious]

...One of the most inspiring punk-rock songs (with the dash) EVER!

[hoju85]

does anyone know the lyrics to this? i can make out some of them but no the whole thing..

[TheStrainers]

so well put ...It's how so many of us felt in LA at that time. I still fill the same way!

[bajatuna]

Well the dumb fuck died from lung cancer.  How cool is smoking?

[Syntarro]

I'm proud of my  life and i stand by my doom i can tell right from wrong

and its never stopped me... EPIC!!

[mrnoiz23]

Unfortunately Claude's smoking put him in an early grave. The interview is a timeless gem.

[smbitts]

Speaks for itself :)

[TheDeetz77]

"new wave doesn.t exist, it.s the figment of sum lame cunt.s imagination" - claude "kickboy face" bessy <3

[TheStrainers]

@guerrillabear I got it. I can copy it for you if you dont find it any where

[KubaHeist]

[MrChattyO]

The CD put out a few years ago is great, I just wish they would have put out a legit record back then. Great songs!

[666kinski]

Anymore Claude Bessy material out there?!

[TheFacelessK]

[theghostsofgiants]

The very same.

[TheFacelessK]

[TheStrainers]

[Gorbachenko]

He's dead? No surprise there....

[radmaggot93]

I fucking love his voice XD

[fernandopinzas]

SYNTH PUNK !

[Theanchoritegarlic]

could you upload that Slash mag segment from Decline featuring Claude reading that cool poem? (the segment right before "X")

[666kinski]

FYI, Claude was also on about 3 episodes of the Hardy Boys!!!! His character was named what else-Frenchy! Its on youtube under Hardy Boys meet Dracula or some shit like that.

[666kinski]

No, some1 who was there back then should do it!!! Maybe his widow.

[666kinski]

some1 needs 2 write a book on this Guy!!

[theghostsofgiants]

Or better yet, get his writings and compile a book BY him.

[julioisgay1410]

where can i download their songs

[antonfjordson]

claude was awesome.

[unfamous13]

Someone needs to post barbee doll lust from the movie

[jesselakerr]

fukking hate french accents!! but love this band though

[lekepim]

Too good, Claude Bessy was awesome.

[djskum]

there is a sound track to the movie with this song on it. i have there icon tatted on my left calf. they don't make good music like this anymore, and that is a fucken shame.

[theghostsofgiants]

I have the soundtrack. Good stuff. I disagree about music today, though. Lots of great, great stuff out there.

[brownboyskin]

@theghostsofgiants yea like lady cock god and new found glory

[Syntarro]

@djskum i use to have the soundtrack to this film on vinyl wwwaayy back in the mid 80's, along with many other {now collectable} records i kick myself for throwing them out in 91. Most are out of print. :{

[theghostsofgiants]

@Syntarro That is such a bummer.

[stevedebock]

Yes children, bow down to this man, Kickboy Face RIP.

[smoothbeer4u]

did they ever release an album

[Doctorateindoom]

i saw some reprints of theirs somewhere or other, in a magazine in a record store about two years ago. Look for it

[drprecious]

The decline of western civilization!!! great music, great period Love this song. Exspecially X!!!!!!! good song even this from catholic dis. Love FEAR and X over all.

[smeegma]

Amazing song from an amazing documentary.

[nukecat]

GREAT SOUND AND GREAT BAND. i love his philosophy he was at least honest

[jim645pbr]

its GREASY

[Propagandhi900]

Freebird! Play some skynard!

[softfocus012]

and great lyrics.

[softfocus012]

i totally get what he is saying. he is self conscious, like most good punkers should be that have something to say. he understands media, call and respone, illiciting reaction, and such. all tools of a good agitator, no matter the medium of art.

[neverwasapunk16]

I thought i was the only one who liked this song

[anarks03]

ahh were can i find the lyrics???

[Blueluna1557]

fuck.

i love him 7 & I love how he thinks!

[cuevas04]

with their dumb little brains full of dumb little dreams we try our new curses experiment with fear experiment with fear sit on each other souls and rehearse our down fall chorus

[cuevas04]

on a spotty mattress i will lay for hours adding up all my sinsand inventing new ones im proud of my life and ill stand by my doom i can tell right from wrong and it never stopped me All the prophets have died the book have been written salvation in a jar we laugh so hard it hurts  chorus i like the tast of guilt i know the smell of death it makes me want to sing it makes me want to bite when all the dumbfucks sleep

[cuevas04]

sitting in a room surrounded by bottles my friends have all left and my heads is on fire Its already morning but pieces of night are all stuck to my hair what we did ifading in the light of day what we said is bullshit we live the modern way...And i guess ill never find out which onf of you wrote with a greasy lipstick babylon must fall on the bathroom mirror.

[cabacaCB]

i think its "wrote with a CRIMSON lipstick

[jim645pbr]

its greasy dumbfuk

[anchoritegarlic]

lets not forget the other cool folk who worked at Slash mag, featured in Decline, I forget their names, but they added inteligence and positive,quirky vibes to the infameous flick

[theghostsofgiants]

For sure, I wonder how hard it would be to track down copies of Slash.

[shetookthekady]

I've probably got about 8-10 issues buried somewhere in my house. But Im not letting go of them and scanning and sharing seems like a pain in the ass...any ideas?

[RRAANNEE]

please share them =)

[theghostsofgiants]

Scanning them would defintiely be a pain, but it would be worth the effort to share that stuff. And if anything were to happen to the physical copies you'd still have the digital copies too.

[PrimeButt]

Claude's best line: "...there's punk, there's power pop, there's ska, there's rockabilly, but new wave doesn't mean shit!!"

[johnneedslove]

all i can say is YUM

yum!

[andymo9381]

barbie doll lust

ITS NOT NORMAL!

[jesdter32]

Can anyone tell me where I can download some Catholic Discipline? I cant find them anywhere!!!!

[theghostsofgiants]

You could probably find their Underground Babylon compilation on Soulseek.

[anchoritegarlic]

I just wiush someone would post the segment from Decline where Kickboy recites the Slash published poem:

"Disarm and die, lifes real teeth...burn the books of poetry, for they inspire hope...I am part of the middle class, I am part of the mundain, I am part of the middle class, I know I am one of them and they never let you scream." his facial reaction, cut to X segment.

[theghostsofgiants]

I'll try to get it up when I get a chance.

[MRmrsHIGHlow]

THE BEST CLIP in Decline of the Western Civilization. PHRANC! What a great band.

[Kazent]

I always loved this song

Fench people kick ass cause thare such assholes

[theghostsofgiants]

And I think Claude was one of their best assholes, haha.

[DrWhiggs]

His speech impediment is mystifying.

[theghostsofgiants]

He's French.

[dx398]

Anyone have full lyrics for this song?

[Jsoley]

I have 'em in the decline soundtrack

[leeisgaygay]

Lyrics without French accent, close or near enough PT.1 Sitting a room Surrounded by bottles My friends have all left but my head is on fire It's already morning but pieces of the night Are still stuck to my hair What we did is fading In the light of the day Whatever we say is bullshit We live the modern way

[theghostsofgiants]

I used Sony Vegas to cut out this clip from the full film. Give that a try.

[Phil741]

heh

[Johnnypsycho666]

i got the movie bought it at a record store and i havent heard the cd but im sure one of my freinds has it

[sonicmilk]

this guy reminds me of keith richards.

[xfearbefore]

quality isnt bad at all mate, right on for the vid god i wish i could get my hands on this doc is it on dvd or what?

[hiltonsoiree]

i've only seen it pirated online. not sure if its on dvd or not. great doc though.

[theghostsofgiants]

Sadly, I don't think it's available on DVD. I wish to God it was though.

[siriusscholar]

CD were so underrated and a forgotten gem...it is tragic that Decline is the only real way to hear and see them (the CD releases have been lackluster).

Bravo to whoever put this up...RIP Kickboy

[slick2112]

So great

[wilfredowen777]

One of my all time favorite songs. Most literary punk song for sure.  thanks theghostsofgiants for finally posting this. ive been looking for it for a while.

[Krakshot]

I love you, Kickboy! I only wish you would've blessed our people with FAR more recorded output. I guess that is what all them fistfights were for.

[estebanx]

Magnificent. I'm so glad this is finally up!
