earth crisis - firestorm

[Oreeyemma]

awesome...caught this video on facebook page "DJ Mad Mike and Dr. Phil Good Show"

fuc&ing killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[askdhuwuw]

Americans had to invent a new life style to stay clean.

WTF.

Just do drugs moderately, drink moderately.

These dont drink and dont do drugs. Dont eat meat. Probably dont get laid before they are married as well. No wonder they are so mad.

[toknowandgrow]

@askdhuwuw

wo wo dude, being vegetarian has nothing to do with drugs or drinking. Be careful how much you mix. I love weed!

[JohnCannyNH]

@askdhuwuw I'd say kill yourself, but I see you've got a head start.

Respect your body, respect the Earth. And is your brain really so tiny that you have to stoop so low as to say "I bet they don't get laid," or are you just to fucked up to have a real discussion? I'm sorry WE don't sell out to your culture, but you don't have to be a prick about it. xXx

[askdhuwuw]

@JohnCannyNH

Dude, i didnt say "...I bet..." i said "...Probably...".

Besides, go have a joint and a big fat piece of steak, maybe after that you'll relax.

maybe it'll get u laid.

[AstronautJ]

@askdhuwuw Or just don't flood yourself with toxins and fill the pockets of violent drug dealers and pimps that make life hell for millions.

Whichever you want.

[normalguyable]

[rodcho69]

[LeviAAA]

Course it's metal. If it gets meathead metal kids involved in animal rights then I'm all for it.

Don't forget the roots of this stuff though, youth of today, hardcore PUNK.

[BalazsDeathstar69]

i don't fuckin' care wether this is metal or hardcore, i just fuckin' like it!!!

[chinsastud]

wtf fuck metal. you cant even tell what he is saying no fucking point in it.....

[downfallxofxsociety]

it isnt even metal u dumbass

[downfallxofxsociety]

why giving me thumbs down ? It isnt even metal because its kick ass hardcore =)

[cotton3434]

@downfallxofxsociety

yep... definitely not metal. personally i hate hardcore, but eh, that's just me. from this song, they don't sound bad, but it's definitely not my type of music... checking them out because they're on Between the Buried and Me's The Anatomy Of cover album.

[henseire]

earth crisis for life!!!

[LovexandxRage]

Oh fuck yes

[StraightEdge1977]

Classic!

[JaredShabo]

i don't get it

[xGCHXCx]

yeh u dont have a clue

[MawoRinnGun]

finally a video without any posers

[stickonfool]

the first time i heard this song i loved it. you could tell they were on to something. it had a huge influence on a lot of bands.

[logangaddis999]

Many think that this was the first metalcore band ever and as shitty as it sounds i understand. But for being the first its not terrible

[thundersnake1]

metalcore

[tortelli]

The homer simpson version is also great!

[tiredoldspic]

How lame must you be to like this band?

[DeweyZei31337]

they have done more as a band that you will ever do as a person

[tiredoldspic]

Atleast I know more about someone than their youtube account name before I attack them.

And the whole beating the shit out of drug users thing is really cool, truly shows the unity in the hardcore scene.

[straightedger9]

STRAIGHTEDGE FOREVER!!!!!

[ned316]

its hardcore

[sepulslayer]

it doesn't matter... its music

[Kmic14]

Where I come from, we call this metal. Not punk.

[Roel182]

Actually the genre is:

Rock -> Punk -> Hardcore -> Metalcore

Whereas Metal comes straight from Rock, Metalcore is mainly Hardcore with some Metal influences.

(And apart from the sound, didn't you notice the expicit punkish anti-establishment lyrics?!)

[DeweyZei31337]

Rock -> Punk -> Hardcore Punk -> Hardcore -> Metalcore

You could also fit youth crew in their haha

[cristimanea21]

cooooollllllll

[splingbak]

Ich mein, is ja ein geiles Lied, aber junge ess mal bissl Fleisch, damit was aus dir wird;-)

Fleisch rulez!

[Pilaf1984]

People are actually debating about hairstyles on this video's comments? Hairstyles? With all the great opportunities to discuss actual relevant issues in the hardcore scene? Shave your head if you want. Grow an emo flop or a mohawk or however else you want. But above all, be yourself and listen to the actual MESSAGE of the music, and then choose to accept it or reject it as you see fit. Hardcore is a free market of ideas and sounds.

[giorgi89]

finally someone intelligent

[StayGoldHC]

fuck yea bro. Doesn't mean shit if you wear gym shorts and hoodies or girl pants and have emo hair. Its all about hardcore for what it means, not what you look like

[smasherlord]

@Pilaf1984 Its youtube, done expect it to atract the intelectuals of society

[Designsforbattle]

@Pilaf1984 well said, fuck fashion.

[crazymofo83]

fuck yeah. DSM (rip) sick NZ hardcore

[ButterMilkPancakes]

STRAIGHTEDGE 4LYFE YEAHHH

brb drinking beers

inb4 overused cliches about me driving drunk and crashing. I hope I crash into a straightedge, Earth Crisis-listening faggot.

[arkanonark]

lol

u need help man

[StayGoldHC]

1) fuck you, straight edge represent bitch

2) LOL @"inb4 overused cliches about me driving drunk and crashing. I hope I crash into a straightedge, Earth Crisis-listening faggot"

that actually did crack me up haha

[diabeticmonkey]

I really just looked this up out of curiosity, and it's not my cup of tea, but I can't talk shit about it. At least these guys were original.

[xxxpancioxxx]

respect all time...............

firestorm to purifity

[magich8ball]

amen!

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Why does this genre attract so many fat guys with shaved heads? It's gross and icky and stuff.

[magich8ball]

cause its not the kind of music that attracted douchebags in girl pants, that cry and cut themselves....stick to Hawthorne Heights and Fall Out Boy.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

What do girl pants have to do with being fat and shaving your head? Why do all hardcore guy fans have to look like that?

[magich8ball]

because we do. youre also asking this in a video to a song that came out at least 13 years ago. are you suggesting all us male hardcore fans look like stick figures, wear tight ass pants that suffocate our package and grow our hair so we cant see shit because our bangs are so long? ill take the scene before vermin like you shitty scene kids came along. fuck scene points, practicing dance moves in a mirror before a show and fuck the girl pants especially. go cut yourself and cry emo pussy

[LittleEmoBoy001]

Your comment makes no sense. You're basically just defending a military approach to being 'scene'. Hey, you do know you don't have to shave your head unless you join the military right?

[magich8ball]

my comment makes no sense? lets break it down here so your tiny mind can understand it: this song is about 13 years old; things in the scene have changed since then. I shave my head because its low maintenace and i like to see when i walk instead of having a ton of fucking hair in front of my eyes. hardcore was better before scene kids came along. and maybe i was in the military...so what? stick to MCR and Dashboard Confessional.

[LittleEmoBoy001]

lol how is making an effort to shave your head every couple weeks 'low maintenance'? Isn't it more low maintenance to just let it grow without cutting it?

[xSkraelingx]

amen to that

[crazymofo83]

at least back then hardcore was hardcore. everyone in your local scene was family. it didnt matter about the clothes you wore or your haircut. thanx to all these emo dicks that invaded our scene in the late 90s and totally fucked it. they dont know what hardcore is about!!!!!!!

[LittleEmoBoy001]

That's another thing I hate about this kind of hardcore, people in it think too locally. I like to think outside the local box and reach more people around the world. And no I don't agree, I think in order to be accepted by this 'scene' you had to have the shaved head too.

[crazymofo83]

dude what do you mean this kind of hardcore? there is only one kind. hardcore is a local thing. everyone playing in bands with each other etc. we have been very luck to have some amazing internationally succesful hardcore bands. but where did they come from? a local scene.. and mate you wouldnt now shit as your prob a 16 year old who never wittnessed hardcore in its prime. so how do you know you had to have a shaved head. earthcrisis forever

[LittleEmoBoy001]

because 98% of the guys in old hardcore videos have shaved heads?

[arkanonark]

i hate people talking about the things they don´t understand. play in your succesfully and profitable mainstream band with your howls, your fashion and all the teen pussies crying... oh wait, it´s that over yet? i guess so, emo is fuckin dead once again

[dahdoggfather]

you are retarded

[acutievirgo]

you re-re-re country music is lame

[shuzfan]

Everyone should stop crying over what bands are straight edge and that they aren't the most technical band in the world, i dont listen to hardcore to hear the most crisp clean guitar solo, i wanna hear something that is raw, dirty and makes me realise there's someone out there angry as i am.

GET FUCKED ALL JOKERS

[shuzfan]

it's about going out to war against those who are trying to influence with poison. if we're constantly surrounded by those throwing drinks on us, accusing us of being faggots...its time to fight back.

[Pilaf1984]

I, too, an Vegan Straightedge and I am against the war on drugs. Legalize everything and lead a positive, drug free example!

[shuzfan]

your opinion okay.

but shouldnt you want to rid the world of a poison you'll see continually kill and kill.

[kmiller9959]

there's actually people out there who still think that way? if YOU don't like alcohol, then YOU shouldn't drink it. mind your own business. i'm gonna take a big swig of rum right now and i dedicate it to you, faggot

[aquamammal]

Word.

Couldn't have put it in a better way myself.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[staalbrand]

this band is the best down syndrome band ever!

[XDentinhos]

lame!

[pklepack]

anywhere on this site i can find unseen holocaust?

[robbieb06]

Its funny how you had no idea what you were in when you were in the NYHC scene. I knew. I am a Senior VP of a hedge fund and although I don't listen to it anymore I still love the raw and realism of NHYC, it is one of the true real things in life that is not waxed by perception. Sorry you got an accidental bow in the pit of a show. I can tell you were a sideliner in the scene.....I feel bad for you, I really do.

[robbieb06]

violence against violence....let the round-ups begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as a married 32 yr old I still get chills. Earth Crisis, VOD, H2O, SOIA, Bouncing Souls to my grave............sorry rick ta life

[yeahimsosexy]

crazy psycho radical people, but god damn the song was good

[Metzuyan1980]

Well.. u know wht they say abt HC...

"Love it or Leave it!"

[themasone34]

regardless of their message(which i believe is a good 1 they kick ass

[xpelaox17]

se vien se viene!!

enero chilee cabroosss

a firestorm to purify!

xXx

[MamekoM]

these type of songs always sound weak recorded, they don't stand the test of time, for me, but having survived many Syracuse shows, that's memories 4ev right there...

[Chyoz]

S..x..E  xXx

[sacanajero2008]

lixo pensei q era boa

[xBillyTheKidx]

wrong queixada4.... that'd be the dude from bane.

[AutumnsAnxiety]

bahaha. Agreed.

[eiffler]

Oh My God

This Song Kicks The Straight Edge Right Out Of Your Ass !!!!!!!! SxE Reaspect it Bitches

[corpsehammer666]

the singer has a fucked up lookin head hahah

[NESDungeon]

The ending of the song might of been the greatest moment of my life at Firestorm Fest.

[xhardwarex]

I don't know, it did it for me 13 years ago but Firestorm Fest proved that the fire has since burned out for me.

[stalexx7]

You forgot to mention (among the other great bands you said) the pioneers Minor Threat ;)

but when in early 90's i listened to EC i thougt that is the best band i ever heard and i still believe in HC nothing ever blew my had like them.

Now metal?thats a think i ll never agree cause hardcore through the years got and gave influenses in many kinds of music (and metal, bothways).

But hardcore is not just the music ;)

and im not SxE, I also like to smoke a haze and go to a show ;)

[tropicalpimp]

I really like Earth Crisis.I used to love eating a steak, pounding a 40oz.,smoking a blunt,THEN goin in the club to see 'em. Fuck being straight edge...people who dont eat meat or do ANY drugs whatsover creep me out.But some of my favorite bands are straight edge bands lol go figure!

[shmouts]

vegan + grumpy mug = doesn't scare me

[stalexx7]

Respect to the greatest HC band ever!

[tropicalpimp]

EC is good but...greatest HC band ever?? You must not get out much bro. These muthafuckas werent even really hardcore.They were WAY more metal. Now NEGATIVE APPROACH? THATS a fuckin hardcore band - and one of the greatest!Or what about Bad Brains? Youth Of Today? Chain of Strength? You just kinda brushed all those bands off for a metal band.

[DANxCHORIN]

his voice sounds a lot better on the 7"

[tropicalpimp]

HELL YEA! I was gunna post that till I read this!

[jdrefahl]

I was at that 94 show in Chicago! Fucking flips off the stacks.. Shit was nuts.. Still one of the hardest tunes ever made.. seriously spawned an entirely new genre.. no matter what your politics are.. Earth Crisis was seriously good.

[XnoaliasX]

that was my first new school 7" 12 years ago

Germany, Bremen

[lucaHC]

fuck nazis worldwide

a firestorm to purify !

[jonnymohawk]

iucaHC,

Do you realize the irony of saying 'fuck nazis' but then quoting the lyrics of a band that insists everyone else must be just like them?

What a fucking joke.

[aquamammal]

Fuck Nazis. Legalize all drugs.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[oiavh]

just a comment, this band is sXe and are against drugs...

[aquamammal]

Yeah, I know. Best band ever. I am Vegan Straight Edge, but that doesn't mean I'm irrational. The war on drugs is a complete failure. You can only truly liberate yourself from the intoxication of substances (or even responsible usage, it exists believe it or not) by education, not dumping massive amounts of resources into the prison, military, and police industrial complex, things which I'm sure eXc are also against.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[oiavh]

ok, good to know and totally agree with you.

[MyEggIsBoiled]

Well you say legalize all drugs... Alright... put a tax on the now legal drugs, I fucking bet you more people will get busted.  Put on a tax, an age limit, and a consumption amount, more people will get busted, I fucking bet you.

[MyEggIsBoiled]

Wow, you have a twisted fucking life style you ingorant fuck.

[aquamammal]

And you can't spell,

Ignorant scum.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death.

[kutafon12]

Hearing this takes me back all the way back to 1994 at Fireside in Chicago. Those invloved in the SXE Chicago scene back in the day can truly enjoy this video. Thanxxx for all the good times!!! SXE for life!!!!!

[jecky1280]

GO VEGAN STRAIGTH EDGE!!!!!!!!!!

[actionforanimals]

XveganX

true til death

[maxsomebody]

*enter stereotypical edge slogan so i can get a thumbs up*

[sexnviolence666]

hahaha soo true..ps dont be harsh ExC are great

[maxsomebody]

not really. they pretty much ruined hardcore (as did much of the northeast) by infusing violence into the scene and making it fucking trendy to be a sxe kid. vEgAn sXe omgggsceneiez exist today in large part because of the example of earth crisis. give me gorilla biscuits and ssd and leave everything else out.

[Amanduus]

Amen to that, even though I think the kids misunderstood them, so did the press.

Gorilla Biscuits, Minor Threat and SS Decontrol is the shit.

[sexnviolence666]

and DYS haha yeah - I disagree with you.. I was transalating an Ian Mackaye interwiev which my friend did for his book.. and he said those are some violent people.. and they exist everywhere.. he refuses to believe the worldwide the message hes been misunderstood soo much

[maxsomebody]

i used to be edge, so i know that it's not always the case that people were violent. but i think that looking back at the history there's not much doubt that the north was much more militant and violent than other areas where sxe was prominent, and that they made a conscious effort to propagate that. the whole glorification of youth crews was nothing more than a misunderstanding of scene unity and was absolutely sure to breed hatred and violence.

[sexnviolence666]

Yes, but also some of the best hardcore music ever! It took the first wave and added a more refined musical/ideological way of doing the whole thing. A bit less naive and a bit more set, but not diluted yet. I still have faith in Tim McMahon.

[maxsomebody]

in your opinion, some of the best hardcore. it also paved the way for modern metalcore and a good deal of the shitty scene crossover that's so popular. and simplifying belief structures for the sake of having something to chant behind has always been dangerous and foolish.

[sexnviolence666]

ah come on dude..it is about fun and a lot of the times raising awareness... itz just like shouting along to the ramones.. kids will always like being a part of something fun it dosent have to be the most unique shit ever

anyhow I get you about the chanting being dangerous but sometimes its really fun too

[maxsomebody]

i can understand if you're from hungary that things would be different. but in the u.s., things really got out of hand because of sxe, to the point where many crews were labeled as violent gangs by police officers and groups like fsu were involved with murders. today the radical sxe scene has diminished considerably, but it's still very elitist and violent, and has most recently fused with the anarchist movement.

[sexnviolence666]

yeah some punk friends of mine (from the usa) really hated sXe kids..itz propably a big problem, and there is a lot of pointless stupid violence.. but hey you know I lived in NY for a while and america is just fucked up that way

[maxsomebody]

yeah, america has plent of problems, even within supposedly "positive" punk communities. all of the north is rough, and so is the midwest, surprisingly. places where kids have a lot of threat or none at all seem vulnerable. i live in north carolina, and though sxe is still big among the anarchist community, they're all anti-violence and very positive, which makes them a bit easier to take.

[sexnviolence666]

funny u talk about fsu shattered realm played a free show here like two weeks ago.. a fight broke out in the pit and the band was like hey were not gonna stop even if you fight.. I hate that kind of mentality! I like my rockandroll for the fun and the message the stupid shit suxs balls

[sexnviolence666]

sorry about the spelling but I am sleepy pick me up on myspace dot com / hamoribenedek

I would not mind talking with you!

[sexnviolence666]

anyhow there are very few people here that come to shows or know anything about this here in Hungary - I understand that it is different in big hc places.. ie in London there vere a lot of militant idiots.. anyhow guys like greg bennick are the example setters JUST LIKE Ian or AL

[BrownPrideSHARP]

This clips makes me want to burn down a Taco Bell. And I'm not vegan.

[actionforanimals]

You will do more good by going vegan then by burning down a Taco hell. Their insurance will just build them a new building. Stop putting animal products into your mouth - that's the only way they will not be killed!!!

[ManoftheBeret]

That's bullshit. One person going vegan will cost Taco Bell absolutely nothing. Burning down a restaurant will, even in the case that insurance covers it, drive up insurance dramatically. Brown Pride, go for it!

[NaglfarCommando]

great band.. brings back so many great memories of listening to them.

[SasukeL2]
