DRI - live '84

[creepychris11]

The video isn't synched up with the audio. Otherwise... this is a clear example of how sonically formidable these guys were in their prime.

[ebonics4everyone]

This even caused many a fat kid to attempt to skate back in the 80s.

[billyurbans]

first they was real punk band , but then ... im disapointed

[agentsteel33]

NOTHIIN TO FIGHT FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

[Druffmaul]

Are the 'Slit My Wrist' lyrics totally different here than what ended up on Dealing W It?

[frankassert]

Eric is on fucking fire!! I love Felix but have to prefer Eric - he was a massive influence on my drumming.

[BarrioPunkRock]

@frankassert thats Eric bretch !!!???!

woah i thot he would look more like kurt

[TheJelectrician]

one of the best bands of all time

[666satansdog666]

Who's the shitstain that checked "dislike"?

D.R.fucking I.

Good ol' tooth-chip'n thrash!

[666satansdog666]

"had to explore everything, all the drugs and drink, cut my dick off with butter knife in sink!"

Used to listen to DRI w/ my old handy "Walkman" on the schoolbus, back in the day. Ahhh memories.

[amnodeidyet]

Punk as fuck!

[amnodeidyet]

Punk as fuck! Deal with it!

[sickfuckino]

this sounds fucking great. I dont think the crowd knows what to think. God I love this band

[MrChattyO]

The brecht brothers looked like they took a pair of clippers and just said fuck it! This is hardcore, no vanity bullshit!

[Immigrantka]

Back then it was this or Michael Jackson. Thank god for D.R.I.

[ZombieGas666]

[satiricon25]

my favorite band badass

[fletcher70]

history` s a lesson lets learn by our mistakes...just dont expect to make sense out of all you see....i can tell you now that knowing is believing....

[skate4zero922]

I tried to post "in" and "sane" as two different comments, it wouldn't let me but this video is sick.

[LGLG69]

D.R.I. at their best. Texas Punk!

[MarcosLogiotatos]

I first saw these guys when I was 13, and my first thought was that they were speaking directly to me. Most people will never get what it was like being a working class kid during the Reagan Administration in a fucking public school in LA. I was so pissed off, angry, and frustrated, and these were my anthems. It was an innocent time of sorts. We created our own entertainment, nobody got rich, and we told the establshed media to keep all their bullshit and shove it up their asses. Yeah

[lctm3]

I miss this stuff!!! fun fun hardcore is nomore!!

[oldschoolpunkchris]

THIS IS WHAT HARDCORE SHOULD SOUND LIKE i like crossover dri but nothing beets this

thanks for posting

[928DEATHMACHINE08]

D.R.I has  to come to do a show in phoenix, az

[hesu666]

Kurt is singing for a new band called "Pasadena Napalm Division" with ex members of Dead Horse currently.

[skate4zero922]

okay I love slit my wrists and that was faster than i could've ever imagined it.

[aliveandkicking1]

Wicked this is when these guys rocked!!

[aikidoka1975]

[2473739]

[tweakpipe]

D.R.I at thier best

FUCK YA

[fuckposthardcore6669]

hell yah when they were a baddass hardcore punk band :D

[chauvesouris1]

THARSHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scibetta6]

THARSHHHHHHHHH?!?!?  Hells YeaH!!

[Demonoftheforrest]

This isn't thrash moron, they did switch over to thrash later on but this is hardcore punk

[scibetta6]

No, it's Tharsh. Tharsh.

Actually, it's upbeat post-77 thrashcore grindpunk.

Labels for music get silly sometimes. Don't get wrapped around the axel about it. It's great music, let's just enjoy it.

[pnkrk244]

pardon my language, but oh for fuck's sake..........

[sonikreducr]

back in 84 thrash and hardcore were pretty much the same thing, that was before metal infested and started stealing BS labels.

[Tazpunk]

It's just great music guys fucking ENJOY it!!!!!!

[cobyolz]

Thats bullshit man i am 42 and was a hardcore punk......Thrash was never never never simmilar to harcore.....Never! Dri was from Houston I saw em in 83 and 84 85 86 I lived in san antonio They played here alot.....Wasnt till around 86 they went crossover

[punkfan91]

what part of san antonio did you live in

[zubizuva]

These are great - thanks for posting this.

[manbearpig000]

[lmr641]

[d4rkl3k1n]

YEAhhH!!

Lo mejor del Thrashcore!!

DRI DRI DRI

[scibetta6]

Gives me fucking goose bumps. So goddamn good.

[cockney1980]

real punk rock

nuff said?

[punker333]

haha i love dri my old man had their thrash zone cd and gave it to me

[dri321]

was this recorded in houston?

[pittrats]

definition of punk DRI even after they crossed over to speed metal their roots were punk. Listen up kids,Green Day is NOT punk,THIS IS!

[swampkat3]

coudlnt have said it better :D

[ThySchmoes]

But sadly they did cross to speed metal.

[RuleOfGrimmace]

I agree. This clip shows when DRI were one of the best bands out there. As the metal set in they just didn't have the same power and intensity.

[injunloco]

@pittrats speed metal? really? you need to listen to more D.R.I as they are not speed metal, maybe thrash metal after the crossover, but real punk to me, hard core punk rock.

[rx2411]

Saw them in Montreal summer 84. 47 songs in 50 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes or (ringing) ears.

[gooberface14]

damn the drummer is goin so much faster!!!!

i fuckin love d.r.i.

[LGLG69]

Real punk music. Stuff of today doesn't compare.

[feeb75]

fucking Grimey...I love this shit.

[muzikwhore13]

FUCK YEAH!! I was in kindergarten when all this maddness was going on.

[spitpie]

Of course, I type like I'm driving drunk, so who am I to criticize?

[spitpie]

My band opened for these guys probably during this tour in Minneapolis. I remember Kurts hair looked like he had given himself a haircut while driveng drunk. Nice buch of guys, kick ass band live.

[wbfree]

I can't believe how good the sound and video is on this. Thanks for posting. Any more?

[morloreto]

una de las mejores bandas de harcore de los 80

q viva DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES !!!!

[c1b2666]

Wow

[fletcher70]

too true mate...awesome band for a while

[clockwolf]

When they were a punk band no one could touch em...... maybe the Neos thats all

[grotezakhooi]

knowing is believing ;)

D.R.I. 4 ever

[clockwolf]

Tighter than a ducks ass

[wbfree]

I bet they were going into Counter Attack like on the album there at the end.

[soadplanet01]

I have seen dri eight times & been in the

pit every single time!

[PunkRockIsYourFriend]

the drummer was soo great. fucking insane. I love DRI

[19wonky]

The songs are "Snap", "The Explorer", "Slit My Wrist", and "Stupid, Stupid War"-all on DRI's best album, "Dealing With It."

[TokZeD]

d.r.i. para mi es una de las mejores bandas de los 80s de Harcorepunkcrossover, y lo seguiran siendo.

[betweenkr]

this band is pure energy, and thats why theyre in the books. they may not have done the same later, but who knows what that audience would look like if they actually kept up with those songs. eric brecht is insanely fast. props to kurt too for spillin that angsty angst.

[evilaggression]

Cool I'm glad you broke down and uploaded more :)

[carthrashtodeath]

haha kurt sounds so fucking young in all thse songs

[jernklo]

Great band and great songs. Of those songs they played in this vid I have only heard "Snap". What is the name of the other songs?

[thrshr454]

i think the last one is stupid war or something

[diemutha666]

Hell Yeah!!!Bring back old school and show those Closet Punks the real thing!!!Who Am I?D.R.I.
