[lexxorcist242]

Saw these yonks ago in Scunthorpe with Citizen Fish. They were fantastic!

[fuktheusa]

I loved the Elector Hippies at the time - thanks for posting; pity about the sound quality though...

[Masacre666]

hes better in carcass,

thats just because i hate punk

[SnappedNeck]

congrats on not having a brain

[andyNV]

None of the line up in this video ever joined Carcass. That was Jeff (who left the band a long while before this was recorded, He sang on the split 12" w/ Generic).The above line up is Andy - guitar and vox / Dom - Bass and vox ? Whitey - Drums.

[Traductus5972]

is that play fast or die or is that an EP

[andyNV]

Yeh the split EP w/ generic was then released as the 'Play fast or die' 12"

[themarkyofbath]

Farmers daughters crying cos all the sheep are dead, daddy took them one by one and knocked them on the head...

Fantastic one of the only songs I learned to play on the guitar.

[peace0ff]

i hate this band

[toxicmartoc]

you searched for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fishnstuff]

shits the greatest

[gypsumfantastic23]

Perfect!

[Gazontheraz]

YEEaahhh

[mokuni]

i actually found a place where they sell the only good punk is a dead one....were you really the guitar player for them???? cause if so i bow down to the speed you guys played at...simply incredible...would you mind if i made a proper tribute to the band on myspace?

[andyNV]

I have no problem if you want to do a MySpace for the E.Hippies.(Yes I was the guitarist for them.If you check out any interviews with the band I always mentioned my main band that I did-'NIGHTMARE VISIONS' who are still going after 25 years.METAL!!).As long as your myspace isnt like the idiot turds who are blagging people with the other one. Good luck with it mate. Andy.

[mokuni]

oh man its going to be a kick ass one dont worry, as a matter of fact i will start today on it....can i just mail you through youtube when its done?...you will the first person i add on there..thanks so much Andy, i really apreciate your consent....

[mokuni]

where in the mother fuck can i find a record fro m these guys, i LOOKED EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!! they dont even have a myspace...

[andyNV]

There is a myspace but the people doing it ARE NOT anything to do with the band.They wont let me add them and I was the guitarist!! The 'Only good punk' lp has been remastered and is available on CD from peaceville records.

[muzpunk]

God, got the E.P. (remember them) upstairs in the loft, got nowt to play it on though. I remember playing Mega Armagedon Death to my kid brother and telling him how fast it was, he thought I was a right tit and dropped the needle back on his Stone roses long player, (trendy git)lit his spliff and sent me packing.

[LordOfAllHell]

Incredible that someone can even come on here and talk about Green Day. When I was 15 (I'm 34 now) I was writing to the guys (Simon or Andy) and like the twat I am, asking how come they got their words wrong on their Peel Session ('...listen to listen' instead of '...learn to listen...', can't remember which song!).This music was pure unadulterated hardcore. I'll end now by saying that Electro Hippies were the epitomy of 80s UK hardcore.Green Day has no place here. Fuck off.

[beneaththepavement]

...and wearing a 2000AD Halo Jones t-shirt! I just had a 2000AD one...classic blast from my teenagedom, never saw them live either. chickens walk and chickens talk and chickens like to scratch the ground...

[PunkRotter69]

copying green day, is he wired up right?..fuckin hilarious..Electro Hippies were in Baghdad when Green Day were in their DadsBag!!!

[redsoxboy71]

Sheep Chickens! Superb, loved the Electro Hippies. Has anyone got early Dan/ Sofahead stuff (Christian Fantasy Land etc)?

[lagatis]

this is a fucking jewel thank you very much

[toxicmartoc]

what a tw*t electro hippies proberbly started the genre of hardcore as much as napalm death nothing like green day,get one of there albums,ace video by the way any more?

[Fattyyy1234]

Not hardcore, hardcore had been around for years before they started. Though you can't tell from this clip these guys had a much larger influence on grindcore.

[cunninghamx]

the singer from green day was born before 1980 you fool also the guitarist in electrohippies copies slash from guns and the roses

[chiefjustice]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....Yeah man thats OF COUSRE right You ´re a real expert ah?

[xSUPERFUZZx]

son,

Electro Hippies formed in 1985 and broke up in 89. Gween Dway was formed in 89.

debunk that.

[andyNV]

I was the guitarist in Electro Hippies and I DID NOT copy slash.He is a useless tool.

[rrbh]

Hello Andy - this is Raymond Longster.You wasted far too much of your youth hassling me on the Lancashire moors - your clan of brothers reminded me of the 3 stooges and the only effective hunt saboteurs came from Liverpool!

[andyNV]

Thats cos the liverpool mob STOLE everyone elses limelight.haha!!we were very effective no matter where we came from.

[LordOfAllHell]

Hi Andy, well, you won't remember, but we wrote to each other in the good old days - I cringe when I think about writing to you to ask you did you realise you sang "listen to listen" when it should be "learn to listen" on the Peel Session recording (I think?!) and also some other stuff that as a 16 year old I thought was important. As a 35 year old I still find your music important - I picked up your live EP on vinyl in Brighton for £3 just the other day. Electro Hippies are legendary. Dan(Sig)

[cunninghamx]

copying greenday

[sanguinarius2]

copying greenday? are you retarded? this guys are from the 80's idiot and they are a legends.

[johnthebog]

[theincredibleed]

[pw3uk]

Great to see a band I never managed to see live.

One thing I love about em is that fact that they do bass solos.

Thanks!

[ufus]

what da fuck! its great to see this video.. one of the creators of grindcore genre!!! shocked!!!!!

[marcuscarcass]

Yes !!! Electro Hippies - Possibly my favourite song by this bunch, fantastic stuff!!!

[maltedm]

A friend of my brother's called Dominic played drums for a while with them!

[baggyscrotum]

wow, thanks for sharing that little nugget of knowledge with us. maybe that makes you famous!

[malteedm]

no, it doesn't make me famous.

your reply on the other hand makes you a sad, bitter twat.

[toxicmartoc]
