DEVO - Smart Patrol / Mr. DNA

[kendraogolin]

I start it at 3:33...or4:00

[BlueSoulJim]

nice legs!

[moxie96]

One of the reasons I wanted a synth since I was 5.

[jmieras1]

Best DEVO song ever. You say "DEVO" and most plebes think "whip it", but mutants understand Smart Patrol / Mr. DNA as the real anthem. Altruistic asshole, here to spread some genes........

[rifkijohngm]

Intense!

[tomzorak]

This was the first DEVO song I played for my kids. They loved it. Other parents asked me "you play DEVO for your kids? Yeah, I do! I hope my grandchildren listen to them some day.

[Simians84]

My God this song kicks so much ass.

[PCshenanigans]

This was the first DEVO song my dad played for me... i franticly asked my dad who it was... he told me to wait till the some was over... so he told me it'was DEVO... i asked my friends at school if they listened to them... they were like, the whip it guys? pssh they suck... i converted all of them with this song alone... two words; BAD ASS

[Artstar]

@PCshenanigans

Nothing but a bunch of good Spuds!

[PCshenanigans]

@Artstar just doing my duty (now for the future) in the de-evolution of man...

[kaletka]

@PCshenanigans DEVO is COOL. You are definitely correct. The easiest way to change anyone's mind about them is to play ANYTHING other than the stuff that got the airplay. I had a number of friends in high school that I "converted" the same way.

[chrispycritter2]

General Boy would be proud!!!!

[walsheez73]

over 30 years old!.... way ahead of the rest man! D-E-V-O

[sherpa285]

One of the FEW bands that was in total control of the technology they used, instead of the other way around.

[Naxwell]

Every time I hear about "common stock" in my accounting class I can't help but think of this song.

[agiantman]

Check out the amazing guitar solo by Bob #1 at 5:04. It puts Eddie Van Halen to shame.

[agiantman]

Incrediburgerible! This song ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY  ROCKS!

[huttwigley]

1 person doesn't understand my potato.

[CVcivilrights]

1 dislike, what a ninnie and a twit!

[WoodRatGirl]

It's alright Mark, nobody understands my Potato either.  :/

[maxpower789z]

He's an altruistic asshole!

[HARDGURTHm]

2:28 WE WORK AROUND THE FUCKING CLOCK!

I heard him say it.

[SDChargersForever]

This can't be an easy song to do live, but they really tear it up. Devo was underrated.

[mshotz1]

Just think, while DEVO was doing this, the Rolling Stones (the so called Greatest Band Evar!) was making Disco!

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

LOL @ Bob 1 at 2:28 "We work around the fucking clock!"

[cently1017]

hes an aulteristic asshole! hahah love it' ill see you at coachella!

[finylvinyl66]

What really impressed me about Devo the one time I saw them (circa '79) was that along with their unique conceptual

and intellectual strengths was that they could really rock out!

[puppetMattster]

From the comments on here, you'd think DEVO died in a bus crash or something. They still kick ass and they have a new album coming out.

[Jesse0989]

sadly there will never be anything again that compares to devo. one of a fucking kind.

[volvo4377]

hostile take-over of an audiance

[skiffmanmike]

The first time I saw them live, he played a 2x4, and during his solo, some guy was stupid enough to reach out, grab Bob's ankle, and trip him. He slept the rest of the show, after Bob got up, he gave the guy an excellent view of his boot as it made contact with his nose.

[Artstar]

aha, EXCELLENT!

[1devo6587]

i found the video of the incdent you are talking about, it was in france in 1978

[10pauin]

wow!! Post it!!!

[1devo6587]

its already posted on someone eleses channel! ,ill send you it!

[feline1973]

he's an altruistic @sshole!!

[Jemmer1000]

This monkey wants a word with YOU!!!

[HarryUpHarry]

We shove the poles in the holes

[Skatelennon]

that's what she said.

[cograilfan]

Holy crap, Bob1 kicked the shit out of the LaBaye 2x4.

New Red Pick guard " old one was white "

and changed the strap button position

wtF? this was the last tor he used that 2x4 on, now he uses a replica.

[1devo6587]

where can i get the replica if the labaye

2x4?

[cograilfan]

Currently

Nowhere

BUT

Go to:

eastwoodguitarsdotcom

There has been plenty of talk about a 2x4, just email them, the guy you contact should tell you any news.

do it! Do it now!

[1devo6587]

ok,thank you!

[psyhobill5150]

these guys were real good live, the sound was perfect!

[Artstar]

They're still great live! (especially this song.)

[psyhobill5150]

this song does kick!

[americandevo]

So talented.....so YOUNG!

[americandevo]

Bob2 has the sexiest legs...

[ElectricPinkUnicorn]

hehe! i love legs! xD

[IIMclovinII]

Seriously If Devo had just started now and I went to a show like this I'd be so blown away!

Tells us something about our fellow spuds, and there talent still holds up today!

Duty Now!

[toposheet]

if devo started now they would be criminally sidelined as a complete joke.

best band ever...

[AnalyticalAvenger]

Word.

[toposheet]

i gave thumbs down but meant it to be a tumbs up...all the way up!!!

[sixtiestone66]

the spud boys have because of this classic vid took over from deep purple as my fav band of all time....thanks for puttin it on here

[t1x84sb]

Wow

[Lengsel7]

Weird, nerdy, and kind of deceptively stupid, yet freaking cool and intelligent at the same time. They could/can really deliver musically.

I'd really like to see them if they tour again.

[tocobogo]

and they do!

[HarryUpHarry]

Sleaziest guitar playing ever - oh yes

[HarryUpHarry]

Best vid on here by a margin

[TheOnlyLMV3]

SWEET

[forrestluvspogs9]

Damn they kick ASS!!!!!

[jorgen485]

cool
