Amebix - Largactyl

[Dalehg]

Amebix were blinding at this time. Brings back memories. New CD is great too.

[filthydolescum]

AMEBIX WOULDNT HAVE EXISTED IF IT WASNT FOR MY UNCLE EDDIE,he taught the guitarist to play banjo back in '76-stig originaly wanted to play in a bluegrass/skiffle stylee but the other members would have none of it-though it is a little known fact that there is a demo out there,with bluegrass versions of 'sunshine ward' also 'progress' with an instrumental solo harmonica demo version of 'carnage'-flux and spiderleg records completely refused-point blank to release them on vinyl on-tossers! ;)

[Darre555]

Crust punk is not dead

[groinhat]

Amebix rocked, it's scientifically proven.

[williamdestroya]

YAP!

[ngc05567]

fuck amebix, nazi scum!

[blacknazarene666]

@ngc05567 WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU YAPPIING ABOUT??

[maximhero]

@ngc05567 You're a fucking idiot

[ashtweth]

Fucking hailz

[vespargh]

@TruemetalandpunkONLY Man, fuck The Exploited, fucking nazi band!

Wattie is nazi, does nazi salutations in gigs (also a lot of nazi does it and he replys), uses patches of the SS... Man, he served to the army, he was sharpshooter!

He is a fuckin nazi oi scum

[LustForHate]

Heavy metal played by neo-hippies.

[maxbsgonnafuckyouup]

i saw them in boston, they were amazing!!

[anarchohardcore]

that's in Ljubljana? that's where live, wish i was a few years older :(

[stashyjon]

Worra band they were back then (I think my old band was support at this gig)

[xodiopositivox]

awebo de lo mas chingon AMEBIX !!!

[OllieStench]

I waited 25 years to see Amebix and they were amazingly brilliant. Check them out if they come anywhere near you!

[scatpep]

glad u liked them, i live in their old practice house and still in touch with a couple of em. probably loads of their old shit still knockin about if people are interested - suzi

[tailofthecomet]

@scatpep what sort of old shit!?

[FeralBeast666]

Great song. One I can really relate to, being someone who has been to Medication Hell and back.

[ArwenApathy]

I just saw Amebix live last night. I wish it was more like this.

[nigletgook]

we're they not good ? i don't want to waste my money on them if they suck. i like amebix but bands these days just can't capture their old sound. I'm skeptical about this. I like enough to go but don't want to be disappointed.

[enragedlemur]

did you see them on their America tour!?

[intoyourgrave666]

Did Los Angeles 22 and 23 sold out or what I can't find tickets

[riotcity908]

they most likely sold out

check despotic records in long beach

or headline records in l.a. to see if they have tickets

P.S. they changed the venues for both shows

[mansondevil33]

LOL there not as good on stage as they are on CD. And the old camera does not help

[budalo]

poser!

[chromlech]

mazinga?:)

[ExecutionKing]

It was 1987....did you expect this show to be on bluray or something?

[retroxgirl]

yeah ♥

[budalo]

Amebix took inspiration from Motörhead (and to a lesser extent Lemmy-era Hawkwind), Black Sabbath, and Venom, combined with an ethos and worldview akin to Crass. They were also influenced by various post-punk and Gothic rock bands, including Public Image Ltd., Bauhaus, Joy Division, and especially Killing Joke.

[sickfuckino]

@budalo thanks wikipedia

[mrghastly]

@sickfuckino ahhhhaaaahaha!

[Alembic25]

@budalo Amebix have said many times that they don't rate Venom at all and that Venom have had no influence on them. Venom suck.

[budalo]

amebix is institution!

[georock123]

Damn this sounds like Hellhammer! This is a good thing.

[lyijariuke]

Well the casualties suck and most crust stuff is awesome. And the casualties with their populist lyrics have no right to frown upon crusties...

[gabbagabbaskate8]

tssssssss chingonsisima esta rola,el bajo tssssss la voz del wei tssssssss,amebix la mera verga

[AmebixDistortion]

The first song I heard by this awesome band. I love the Baron's voice, lol. Hellbastard's a good band, and Monuments To Ruin.

[corpse741]

Suckets!!

[ScreamingChim]

Monoliths an Amazing album.

One of a kind band.

[Thunderjohnny]

Someone got a Setlist for the full Show?

[holamigo111]

I don't understand why crusties and the other punks can't just get along. I like Amebix and The Casualties (the earlier stuff) but I'll admit that The Casualties were the ones who created the stupid tension between crusties and punks. I mean, look, Amebix (a great crust band) and Disorder (a great hardcore punk band) used to live in a squat together. So why can't they just get along? Maybe if The Casualties didn't have those lyrics then this tension wouldn't even exist...

[dirtyrottencromag]

maybe if the Casualties didnt exist, we'd all be much happier. :D

[ScreamingChim]

Don't get so caught up in labels, punks about being yourself, not saying I wanna be a Crustie so I wanna get dreads or I wanna be a street punk and get a red mowhawk.

Just relax I listen to all types of punk and dress how I want (albeit being a trendy 16 year old).

[goredead]

You Have A Good Point

Is Not The Way You Look Is The Way You Feel About It

[TruemetalandpunkONLY]

You're right about how the punks and crusties should get along. They're both punks, just different types. I personally like everything that's real punk. I like everything from Black Flag, to The Exploited, to Social Distortion, to Amebix, to Siege. It's all punk too me.

[lkmx420]

crusties are just squatters and vagabundos, at an anti nazi fest in germany we concluded it took 10 days of no washing to qualify as crusty hahahah good times

[NateCola]

Since when do crusties and punks not get along?

[TruemetalandpunkONLY]

holamigo111 said that The Casualties created tension between punks and crusties. I was just saying that they should not have any problems with each other because they're both punks. They are just associated with different types of punk. I don't know if The Casualties had anything to do with this or not. I listen to mainly old punk like this stuff, so I don't know a whole lot about The Casualties, they appear to be a love 'em or hate 'em type of band. I've heard some of their stuff before.

[mariltonaraujo]

Relíquia crustgrind !!!!!!

[ScumBagJay]

i know the capitalist talk stopped but one of my friends went to there show and saw them offered them a 40 and they said no we gotta do our hair

[nursultan666]

i agree with out crust no grindcore

[dirtyrottencromag]

id say so too.

[Erawun]

my buddy jordan shit kicked who ever the goof drummer of the casualties is

[thammer81]

I'm not here to argue. Just heard about this band due to my recent interest in Gallhammer. All chick band from Japan, heavily influenced by Amebix and Hellhammer. Fucking awesome. Can't wait 'til the Amebix re-issue comes out! I'm so excited that this kind of punk and thrash is having a revival. To me it never went out of style.

[dirtyrottencromag]

i heard some of their stuff. pretty good.

[xxombiie]

K. Let's all stop talking about The Casualfags and appreciate the kickassness of this song.

[gotsuopen]

u kids are corny arguing on the internet

[Lightinghits]

um fuckoff

[Amebixfan]

LOL @ CASUALTIES, what a terrible band.

Amebix rules, I can never stop listening to Arise ever!

[discordd]

This is so comepletely and fucking insanely badass. Don't claim to be a crustie if you don't know and love Amebix.

[sitro74]

Not ta be a dick, but The Casuslties and the Amebix are 2 total different "everything" of punk. VERY different.

[discordd]

okay first, they're "Amebix" not "the Amebix"; Second, the Casualties aren't even worthy of the title of punk, nor did I mention them.

[muck47]

actually even rob miller has refered to his own band as 'the amebix' - 'a bastardization of the word ameoba' etc so there you go

[bmuderaycageLSS]

This song was pretty good, better than most others I've heard with them. Fuck Casualties, they have a few cool songs, but the band's fucking stupid, why make a song saying you should kill hippies and crusties? HAhahahah bunch of idiots

[crustyspork]

haha yeah the casualties were so concerned with being "punk" that they totally missed what it was all about.

[bmuderaycageLSS]

Casualties aint even worthy the title of 'punk'.

I like Amebix, I am just more used to brutal scandihardcore(Anti Cimex, Asocial and similar) who are influential to crust just as much as Amebix/Discharge/Antisect are

[muck47]

agreed!

[Somekid420]

Lol you guys hate on the casualties.. I like Amebix and The casualties.. and im pretty sure The casualties get credit for having decent sound.. amebix = spent all the money on heroin , A bit coincidental so did most of you parasite "Youtube haters" mothers.. so before you talk about someone ON YOUTUBE start a band get some recognition play good music.. then you have all the rights until then STFUGTFO idiots.

[bmuderaycageLSS]

I would have respected casualties if their lyrics wasn't written in a way so it looks like they are written for and by 5 yearolds who cant take anything serious.

besides, it's casualties who hates on bands like Amebix, not the other way around.

[Somekid420]

Actually im sure The casualties would look up to a band like amebix seeing as amebix has been around since the 80's and the casualties havent. All I've seen is amebix fans trashing the casualties when in fact the casualties are just a teeny weeny bit more recognized then amebix.. so think

[bmuderaycageLSS]

Have you read their lyrics? They dont look up on bands like Amebix. As I said down there, I would have had respect for casualties if their lyrics was serious, not pointed at 5 yearolds and if they knew what they sang about. They have some of the worst thought through lyrics I've ever read by a punk band.

[dirtyrottencromag]

not really. if we're talking influence over the years, every band from Sepultura to Doom to Neurosis to Exhumed takes influence from Amebix.

i know that the Casualties sing about killing crusties. how is that looking up to them? the Casualties are just regressive punxcore which does nothing and means nothing.

who cares about sound? as long as the songs are there, production shouldnt matter that much. if production is all you care about, listen to blink 182, they have great production.

[furakkueroru]

And GALLHAMMER!

[NazRocks]

stop holding petty grudges, just cuz some of us listen to somet different.

How in any way is saying 'Chaos Punks are twats' or 'Crust Punks are fags'of any use- is that actually achieving anything?

[yearlyouting]

dean27.i would love to play with your bottom.

[Dean27]

what a bunch of faggots

[SanctimoniousRX]

Y'know what? Fuck all of your cute little scenes and your frivolous, empty little counter cultural sub-faction classifications. I hate you.

Amebix slay, though.

[acnerabble90]

It would be awesome if the whole gig was posted. Every one of their songs is good.

[scum777]

chaos punks are a bunch of retarded losers who would even suck dick for beer i mean if you guys want to call yourselves real "chaos" punks then go cause chaos to the capitalist system (multinational corporations,private property or whatever) dont cause "chaos" within the scene you mentally crippled bastards!

[ChaosRat]

hahahahahhahaha

you know you're funny right?

hahahahhahaha

now hippie scums get out of punk!

chaos punx for life!

[acnerabble90]

sorry, but we're not going anywhere. you'll just have to get used to us, ok?

and perhaps, someday, you'll love us like the punk rock brothers we are.

[dirtypunk1990]

OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI OI i bought a studded leather jacket yesterday and got a big red mohawk, beat up some hippes, ALL WHILE LISTENING TO THE MOST PUNX BAND EVER  THE CASUALTIES! ok but seriously your welcome to my scene anytime and i hope some day we can circle pit together.

[dirtyrottencromag]

crusties are the reason punk is still here. if you werent a fucking chode youd see that.

Amebix fucking rules.

[ChaosRat]

kill the fucking crusties cunts, you r just the next generation of fucking hippies!fuck off and die!

Punx and Skinheads genen nazis,crusties,hippies!OUT of our fucking life and scene!got it?

[acnerabble90]

punk is whatever you want it to be.

[nursultan666]

first of all lern to speake proper german its gegen not genen and you can go fuck your self youd get stomped at a crust show and not even know what hit you faggot

[dirtypunk1990]

how will killing anybody do any good? then your no better then the system which you supposedly "hate".

you should actually hang out with some crusties sometime and not just follow the words of a casualties song

and PLEASE give me some real reasons why crusties or hippies are so bad besides that they "smell bad"

[Plasteredbastards666]

You're an idiot!Go listen to some rock stars like The Clash or the Casualties or some other boring horseshit and stay out of our punk scene. Maybe get lost in the supermarket and step in some argy bargy.

[nursultan666]

first of all lern to speake proper german its gegen not genen and you can go fuck your self youd get stomped at a crust show and not even know what hit you faggot

[77Revenge77]

Who gives a fuck?

Up the Punx!

All punks fucking unite.

Ambeix kills.

[ChaosRat]

kill the crusties!

FUCK OFF!

[dirtypunk1990]

whats wrong with crusties?

[Rozenrot]

He thinks we smell bad.

:\

[dirtypunk1990]

lol. well i cant deny that.

[scumfuccrust]

okay, now go jack off to the casualties, faggot.

[23D1998]

i like to have sexual intercourse to this song

[honeybucket93]

amazing quality

[tolvana]

About Largactyl. Maybe I´ve told this before, but my mom used to be a nurse in a couple of old folks homes here in Finland, and she told me they gave this "Largactyl" to the patients/residents in a regular basis.

She pointed out to me that the paranoia caused by this "medicine" was highly a silly rumor.

I wonder if old people are still fed with this stuff around the world?

[postpunk1]

Drink and be merry

Sunshine ward

Largactyl

Just three amazing songs from this band!

[pitchflesh]

holy shit this rules! was a little disappointed with that Japanese tribute album but Extinction of Mankind, Misery, and Depressor all do pretty good covers of these guys

[Witchisa]

AMEBIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeahh motherfuckers!!!!

[cairnsy34]

legends in a leage of there owm drink and be merry as the song goes

[Suu100]

Legends

[ultramouse]

Stenchcore? you guys are getting too far into this labeling shit. Amebix predate a lot of stuff (grindcore, death metal, crust, even the thrash-crossover stuff from the US), and the beauty of that is there were no labels for them when they were around. They were just a heavy band with a punk ideal and a squatter way of living. And they rocked.

[crustybeckham]

Amebix... what a unique band. I'm not sure if they'd be too comfotable with them being called a crust band though. However they definitely helped create the whole crusty sound that followed. To call Amebix a crust band would be like calling Discharge a d-beat band, true but rather irrelevant...

[ultramouse]

funny way to put it but I see where you're at there

[ultramouse]

This may suck a bit but thanks for putting it up, there is precious little documentation of this awesome band.

[massdeception]

This song Shreds but the recording here is pretty bad for those of you clowns that don't know who Amebix is.

[amebix13]

FUCKING GREAT!!!

[JohnnyRancid2]

nah dude, crust sucks. You need no talent. scream with your lowest pitch of voice and strum guitar in a few notes. Now you got a crust band.

[Wayavas1337]

FUCK OFF!

[crusterpuke]

i don't know how much it is so easy to play..i mean,a 9 years old kid can write a good "punk77" or "punk-rock" song after 10 lessons of guitar.

but a good crust song need a drummer who can play fast and with double kick,guitarist who is able to play bending solos and know a little of music theory to play in d-dropped or to low down the bass&guitar's tune,and then a vocalist who can scream or growl.

if you think about it,its not so easy.

[jesperjensen74]

fuck you guys dont understand hiatus is crust exstinction of mankind is crust amebix is something else

[kevinm4435]

This sounds like old Celtic Frost.

[spazzpecker99]

nederbassie.dont worry about labels my dutch friend.amebix didnt fit in any mould.they were a band doing thier own thing with a shit load of anger passion and soul.yes,soul!do you like it or not?simple as that!

[sturmgun1]

thank you rippercrust.major thrash flashback.

[nederbassie]

what does crust mean. i don't understand wear this music is about.

If this is some form of hardcore i like grindcore more. I am sorry for the fans. and yes i am also new school (probably). but the sound sucks too.

sorry for my English but I am a dutch guy.

[ChelseaEatsRocks]

fucking brilliant

[lostintheflame99]

fuck crust

[fagatron666]

fuck crust????FUCK YOU!!!

[toetoheel]

the best that have ever been, saw them in coventry sometime in the late eighties, they had to do a acustic set fucking fantastic cheers rippercrust man a old man happy

[forgedeath]

[rugshort]

And Rob now makes swords on the isle of Skye.

[Cainsson]

So I heard. I went to school with him. And I've still got an original copy of the Amebix demo tape. I wonder what that'd be worth on EBay?

[aquidelrock]

the best band of this fucking world!!

[taffytwat]
