[cancer0690]

[JeffroTV]

@cancer0690 It's nice to know true music lovers is out there. Rock on man! 

[PieceofMindmusic]

@cancer0690 -that's embarrasing.

[spaceorbison]

Damn so catchy... that's the way of the real MUSIC!

[monsterclosetcom]

In case anyone was keeping score, Krist Novolselic is the cool one from Nirvana.

[urheadonastick]

@monsterclosetcom

Yea true-



[yknib1964]

this is awesome, I wasn't expecting this



[DietW33d]

[oiyabastard]

@tingly7654321 whos angry? i always cap great bands , i saw your page  , pretty weak

[tingly7654321]

@oiyabastard whats weak about my page?

[systemofachemicalnir]

the singer sounds like gilbert godfreed and looks like billy idol

[HIRAHOTO]

how is that crowd not beating the shit outta each other? mosh time cock knockers!

[numnutth]

fuck you

[moxin29]

Wow, this is amazing!

[KomunistTroll]

Krist :D

[shinanigan173]

Damn im sorry for saying this but they suck......

[HoSKRevival]

@shinanigan173 watch yo mouth boy, you wouldn't have your shity punk rip off bands like green day and Avril lavine without these guys

[youngcollind]

@HoSKRevival Dude, you can hardly credit flipper for the existence of avril lavign. The Melvins maybe, but I don't see how this translated into punk pop, seeing as how the the ramones predate this and are a much more obvious influence on the bands you mentioned.

[guitardeck]

@shinanigan173 you suck ! they are legend !

[godisgay1000]

@shinanigan173 this is real punk rock fool

[Chaplain15]

Lars Ulrich was 15 when Flipper formed in 1979, your point?

[DoubleO711]

Krist really was like the PERFECT fit for Flipper. He even convinced them to make a new album....... atleast he was a big part of getting them to from what I've heard.

And then he left! :(

Oh well, good while it lasted! :)

[heystopit123]

still insane



[MrPropain]

tom green ?

[iconoclast911]

Novaselic playing in a grungy punky band. Yeah, that's the way of the world, fuck yeah!!

[metallikenz]

still the same haha! <3

[LordPorcupine]

I could hear this band on the worst day of my life, and they'll just make me feel great. I don't know why. Maybe I'm fucking insane.

[mrshnarfles]

@LordPorcupine they make me wanna go BREAK SHIT! YEAA FLIPPER RULES DON'T BE STUPID!

[Atombombmother]

These guys saw Metallica play, then were like, "let's try to be like Metallica". That's how Flipper formed.

[Atombombmother]

This is a Metallica rip-off band.

[Drewer123]

@Atombombmother they formed before metallica

[LordPorcupine]

@Drewer123 trolld



[ottodob]

@Atombombmother they sound nothing like metallica, plus they formed before them, dipshit.

[LordPorcupine]

@ottodob trolld



[mrshnarfles]

@Atombombmother i think he be trollin

[Chaplain15]

@Atombombmother

Lol, do you even know what you're talking about? Metallica was still going through puberty when Flipper came out.

[DoubleO711]

@Chaplain15 Metallica's first album came out 1 year after Flipper's first album.

[luvumo2day]

most highest respects privalige to be in earshot of flipper..Gods of a sound most fear and miss out on,

[cecopiteco]

wow

[puketastic666]

have you ever noticed balding men always seem to grow beards

[ricochetfuzzy]

@puketastic666 maybe it's to compensate :P

[fffffcccckkkk]

@puketastic666 have you ever noticed that fat men always seem to grow beards?

[GrandChessboard]

Nice Melvins shirt Steve!

[jabf200]

Incrivel está Musica + O Cris ainda ...Muito Boa Apresentação!

[jayinwww]

that singer sucks bad

[tubbythug92]

@jayinwww

You suck bad.

[Atombombmother]

@77StrayDog I can't tell if you are being sarcastic now.  Great. Flipper rules and the Butthole Surfers too.

[Atombombmother]

@77StrayDog They obviously haven't discovered sarcasm underneath that rock you posted this from.

[larilord]

old-school krist! it's so great to see him look like the big goofy homeless drunk guy he looked like in 1991. the singer looks like he's still in his 20's. gawd this is fucking awesome. these guys may be even more retarded than the butthole surfers! i love it when bruce actually hits a good note. it's like, "aww, that's so cute; he was actually singing for a second."

[NJu6ttJwuV]

I miss Will...

[Atombombmother]

..when singing it's important not to force your voice. Otherwise, nobody will ever like you and you will be mocked by your more professional peers.

[PanicAtTheRink]

Bruce respond what happened to jonathon in 'Code of Honor"?

[bxxch10]

Okay one, this band sucks ass. He fails at screaming (if that's what he's trying to do) and two to the audience who the fuck headbangs while sitting?

[joeybakerboardking]

@bxxch10 its flipper dont ask just appreciate

[bxxch10]

@joeybakerboardking but i just want to know why the hell they you have chairs in a concert hall? That just sucks all the fun

[tubbythug92]

@bxxch10

You suck ass.

[afuckhead1]

krist should have stayed in flipper and recorded a new album instead of leaving after love/fight

[papoulo]

olha o Krist Novoselic!!!!!

[Roddog61]

Ted is my god, But who's that stupid white guy screaming into the mic (with no rhythm whatsoever) instead of the late great Will Shater? Just asking,

 rod

[13KeY37]

@Roddog61 Krist Novoselic from Nirvana, and how does he not have rhythm? The main singer is Bruce Loose he's been in the band since it started?

[Roddog61]

@13KeY37 I was joking. I've seen Flipper live many times, from 82 to 85. I was "there" the last time Will was with them in LA. Just a joke, guy. Bruce was the base player, back then. He replaced Will Shatter, on base, and Will replaced Rick Williams (if I remember his name correctly) on vocals. He was not in the very first line up, but all parties conserned do consider him a founding member. As they should, rod.

[sh33hy]

@Roddog61

Best screamer ever!

[xe989]

what if they had this giant fucking punk rock sing along that had nirvana , flipper , & the melvins playing in it at once, that would have ben the best fucking shit in 20 years

[drugstoremarc]

punk rock

[MyNegativeCreep]

KRIST NOVOSELIC !!!!!! :)

[aenimavegan]

this makes me sad ... krist seems so alone without his best friend kurt, maybe he thinks how it would be to play with kurt again or just have some fun in their old days. :P

[fullempathy]

old school people :D

[ouzts12]

Lol!! 1:06!!!!



[chunk1bunk]

great to see krist on the bass again XD

[Flipper79able]

Go Krist.

[vikingleprechaun]

AMOEBA is BEST!

[vivalachalamelle]

...not dead !

[epsteinsmutha1]

Man, why is Michael Palin so pissed off to be singing with Flipper? Oh wait, sorry.

Please, don't kill me for that, Bruce, if you're reading this.

[bbungled]

Krist shouldn't have left. Although I haven't heard them with their new bass player, I think he did fit the band like a glove (smeared in bleach, heh)

[Zendrix3]

3:41 is the way he sucks the cack!

[mrnoiz23]

This sucks

[Zendrix3]

haha, ur right.

[MakkaPakka666]

Didn`t krist novoselic make enough dough in nirvana to get a hair transplant?;P

[havukuusi]

@MakkaPakka666 Maybe he just doesn't give a fuck

[MakkaPakka666]

prolly yes, but maybe he should ask paul stanley for some wig advice.

[Zendrix3]

hahah!

[BagpipeHustler]

Flipper would make the black keys suck dick for crack.

This is a lot sleazier, a HELLUVA lot better than all this new-school nerdy puss-ass indie-rock I've been hearing so much...

[xdankboi420x]

i used to look up to these guys when i was a kid

[Zendrix3]

And so did everyone else in the crowd...i like the nubs in the front just headbanging..haha

[XpickmansmodelX]

wow. this is really bad. if you want to hear a great band listen to the black keys.

[stolencheezburger]

@XpickmansmodelX

Dude.

The Black Keys can fuck a dildo.

[valehathar]

don't feed the bears!

[13KeY37]

cool to see krist play with one of his favorite bands. He is really good at bass as well as everyone else in the band.

[CUCCACA]

krist looks like fucking bear!!!

[borat27]

you're probably a young kid so i feel badly picking on you BUT Flipper isn't "after" nirvana, they've been around for almost 30 years. krist has just recently joined them, but this band was actually a HUGE influence on Kurt. I believe their album "Generic" is even on his top 50 albums. check out that album, you might like it.

[darthsarth]

screw you flipper rocks

[THEjase23]

i miss you krist.......keep on man....

[8BitSnakeProductions]

Flipper Rules, Okay?

[Amebixfan]

what's that from again

[8BitSnakeProductions]

@Amebixfan you're kidding right?

[beautydaddy]

My favorite band from this period after Agent Orange....east coast, ya know?

[mikemarsh24]

YES!!!! =) lmao

[sabbathkyuss]

awesome...love krist in flipper

[obskure1]

it's funny, bruce loose is the father of one of my best friends. i'd always heard about flipper, but nobody ever played any of their music for me. it wasn't until the internet came out that i heard songs from the band.

[ghost037]

Flippers cool but I bet half the people there had no idea who they were and were drawn to seeing Krist playing music again. Not gonna lie, I'd go see what was happening if I saw that tall bastard rocking out. Bummer he got booted from the band.

[zippywaite]

yeah probably. but there was fans there of course.

he was kicked out or did he decide to leave? and why

[ricv64]

he quit on his own

[ricv64]

majority were there for flipper

[zippywaite]

orange

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

when was this?

[flashpro62]

I saw Flipper perform on the 7th of July, and this song was absolutely outstanding. They even announced themselves as the only REAL Acid Punk band.

[Sludge9509]

Flipper = GOOD

[flashpro62]

great, you mean?

[Sludge9509]

No, awesome

[flashpro62]

outstanding, even?

[Sludge9509]

Nah not quite.

[Falconifan]

One of the better Flipper vids! There needs to be more variety on here than "Way of The World" , but great nonetheless.

[raw420x]

This is so fantastic, in 1981 when I first picked up my bass guitar, this was one of the songs I first learned and played over and over on my bass as an exercise until my fingers would blister.

[Falconifan]

This is a great song to play on bass, as are most of Flipper's songs.

[fosterch]

But I LOvE FliPPer@@!

[fosterch]

I was there. The guy in front of me hadn't showered in years and I could see this girl's underwear standing right next to him - and I didn't WANT to. Made the show difficult. I think it helped end this relationship I was in as well. hehehe

[mcfurly]

That makes GG Allin sound like Britney Spears.

[QueenBeeMarcella]

@mcfurly stfu bitch!

[fmjr10]

These guys arent really big like Foo fighters, but there alright.

[darkdogfilms]

This sickens me. worse, it saddens me. What has happend to rock n roll. Wheres GG wen you need him.....

[diptwist]

i saw them with this line-up in seattle, strangest fucking concert i was ever at

[theREALantin00b]

Sweet,the video length is 4:20.

[evilrobothustler]

Bruce Loose (the bass player) was my babysitter when I was 4 years old in San Francisco. No kidding. He was cool.

[thailow117]

loose is the singer. on bass its krist novoselic, you know, some random guy. whatever, nevermind - as long as he was cool...

[senorcardgage678]

what kind of bass is chris playing?

[vinsilfon]

OMG!! It´s krist!! I miss him!!!

[futurecharlie]

Thanks, great quality!

[AstralAstray]

YES!!! Nice n clear FLIPPER! Thanks for the post! If i was a girl i would be creaming my panties right now. Hopefully there will be some more L.A. shows soon. I missed the HOB show with bad religion...still pissed about that.
