Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[laweisgerber]

See kids. The genesis of the "lips" prison tattoo.  (1:45)

You're parents warned you but you refused to listen. Now you did it. Now you're sporting those stupid, gay lips on your neck you thought were so "THUG".

KISS KISS BANG BANG, you stupid rat bastards!!! (2:14)

[albatros777]

@laweisgerber Ha, I thought it was a reference to Robert Heinlein's Stanger in a Strange land.

There is a sex-cult leader who has the shape of his lips tattooed on the necks of his followers.

[VyvyanW]

Somehow reminds me of Frank N Furter ;D

Love the song & love the band!

[mrcrimsonveil1]

love the song but the lead singer kinda sickins me......ha......

[dimpills]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!

[carcrash73]

Ahhh the good old days when music was still fun, I dont know what happend but hell kiss kiss bang bang

[ishmaelwhale]

bugger my old boots. still sounds tidy, and funny as buggery.

must be said, mind, back in 82, no-one gave much of a shit about "deathrock" and different forms of goth and stuff. no-one i knew of, anyway. and i was going to see shit like this. and killing joke, and alien sex fiend. and bauhaus. and the birthday party. and sex gang chil... oh shit. i've got old, haven't i?

[gothassassin14]

Gotta say, the lead singer reminds me of Dr. Frankinfurter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. :)

[VyvyanW]

@gothassassin14 hahahhaa! Just what I was thinking, too!

[MaterMatrnis]

muchas gracias specimen os debemos muchos los old school gothic

[StevenLoos]

This. This is sex. Pure. Sex.

[suzukigt250x7]

Shite.. seen them up north in 83! rubbish... Batcave Junk.

[RIEvamp]

Gah, I love this song.. I use to get caught mumbling the words to myself in class :D it was worth it! <3

[klonacarla]

lo odio este grupo no me gusta

[GabrielleDeathDoll]

@klonacarla Jaja y luego? no lo tienes que ver.

[andersfriden2000]

Now I know other band that marilyn manson stole.

;D

[ableedingcorpse]

@andersfriden2000 I can definatly see the influence this band had on Manson.

[andersfriden2000]

@ableedingcorpse I´m glad for that. ;D

[ableedingcorpse]

@andersfriden2000 Oh hell yeah. This is just some weird ass trans-freak show going on here. It's awesome...catchy.

[victorlopez242]

specimen suck  the best goth band is bauhaus

[BetoToxic12]

dont be adowner dont even watch it if your going to say shit like that

[victorlopez242]

shut up asshole and fcuk ur mom

[chrishove123]

No it's not The best are The Bainbridges from South Wales

[GothicBerryBella]

That's really personal opinion, and it doesn't really has to do with the video. You sound like a noob, sorry no offense.

[JustinOsbo]

@GothicBerryBella Agreed

[TheEaglesRockAlot]

@victorlopez242 They are different forms of goth. Bauhaus is far different, as it is Batcave music. Great stuff, but not the same as Specimen. Specimen is a deathrock band, and links heavily with both Punk Rock, dance music, and goth. Bauhaus was an original goth band, when it was just coming of Punk. Really, if you are going to compare different bands, at least think about their similarities and differences.

[LILA4321]

siiiiii un clasico!!

[wolzek]

How many of these gaylords managed to make it through the 80's without dying of AIDS?

[chiggevara]

@wolzek

Quite a lot actually. Thank God for that.

[wolzek]

God the 80's were queer.

[chiggevara]

@wolzek

Yes! And that's why it's awesome! :D

[miketb42]

[ajaku]

[ThePoisonDoor]

[l3ds92]

I love the song ... and the vd too

[pankonplatano]

Hey!

The guy at 2:05 was a member

of Siouxsie & The Banshees?

I think I've seen him before...

[EvenTickTock]

Oh right, i didn't know about this but apparently Jon Klein was member of Specimen before he joined the Banshees. Cool!

[barriobajaj]

I was lucky to see these guys back in the mid 80's with 45 Grave at Fenders Ballroom in Long Beach. Great Show!

[inti2nite]

Hell Yeah!

[Motavian]

<3

My dad used to play this all the time when my siblings and I were just wee ones.

Mom didn't approve...

[brittisnow]

my dad played Sisters of Mercy and Twisted Sister. I was confused as a child.. all these bands naming themselves to be girls when they oh so obviously weren't! Why golly! With names like that someone could get the wrong impression :D

[teniente0124]

@Motavian your dad sounds cool.

[MST3Kwatcher]
