This band reunited for a few shows about a year ago. I saw them in Hamilton, Ontario and they were right on the money. Great entertainers with great songs. Canadian punk rock has always been UNDERRATED.
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!
This song is actually a cover of a song from the Roger Corman film Wild in the Streets. Check it out sometime. Richard Pryor is in it, and it's about a band and their leader who becomes president and then wants to put anyone over 30 into labour camps. Pretty crazy.
no shit? haha i saw that movie a while ago, everyone in the labour camps were to be forever zombied out on lsd lol, i thought it was a pretty funny movie
I can't help but wonder if this song played a role in the naming of one of the greatest punk albums of all time, "The Shape Of Punk To Come" by the Swedish band REFUSED... The band was actually broken up before the official album release and some members went on to form a new group, The International Noise Conspiracy (TINC).
Mark my words: We need more guys like "The Diodes" today!
