Fugazi - Red Medicine - 01 - Do You Like Me

[OhGodVelociraptors]

Damn does Fugazi ever know how to open an album. This, Waiting Room, Facet Squared, Turnover, they always start strong.

[Zackthedalj]

Is it supposed to sound like that in the beginning?

[EctInc]

@Zackthedalj yes. It's kind of an intro.

[ZRN959]

Guy really approaches John Lydon on this song...it's awesome

[mediattackrecords]

@ZRN959 definitely really catchy and simple

[hislove4ever7]

Duuuuuude, 2:15.. unbelievable.

[seniorclapshishands]

Might be my favourite opening track on any album

[timbodevon]

Bethesda REPRESENT!

[iuriSalvador]

[ghostofsedition]

(Almost) Everything else that's not from these minds is shit

[rex666777]

love this band. especially this album.

[cauthoncrazy]

@rex666777 I think I fall in love with Fugazi with every listen. So damn talented. I had the chance to meet Guy and it was amazing. Really powerful song.

[AntiProUltra]

the whole opening of this song is just awesome "your eyes like crashing jets fixed in stained glass, but not religious..." pure poetry...

[shitfaceassfuckingho]

open letter to al-qaeda

if you must destroy america, if you are hell bent on jihad, etc.

THEN BOMB HALLIBURTON, WALMART, EXXONMOBIL

i wouldnt mind, i might even thank you for it.

[ColinTheButthead]

@shitfaceassfuckingho haha yeah they can get mcdonalds and all the fast food "restaurants" too

[mssbeliebers13]

fugazi are emo?

[FungusMossGnosis]

@mssbeliebers13

The same was Honest Abe was a Republican.

[screechingcoxy]

@mssbeliebers13 yes/no depending on which answer you were looking for. if I were to give you some direction I'd say listen to "Facet Squared" or "Smallpox Champion" or "Walken's Syndrome" or "Full Disclosure" or "Epic Problem" or all of the above twice Once you've done that, if you're still wondering if Fugazi ar emo you should punch yourself in the face

[mssbeliebers13]

@screechingcoxy Hey, I just asked a question, I do not mean to offend you!

Sorry!

[drsaxe]

@mssbeliebers13 both Ian and Guy were in emocore bands in the 80's: Embrace and Rites of Spring, respectively. At that point, emo referred to hardcore that was 'emotional' - it was introspective rather than just critiquing the political/social landscape of the day. I'd say Fugazi was more the latter, less the former, so in my opinion Fugazi are not emo, and I'd say definitely not emo in the modern sense.

[mssbeliebers13]

@drsaxe Ok thanks for everything. they are not a bad band

[AFirmKickInThePants]

This song has one of the best intros ever

[salmonlasac]

songy is so rad!

[matnas]

fugaZi wielki geniusz!!!

[8bitsaur]

I love this album, fugazi kicks ass!!!!

[Teetee33]

Interesting bits about the lyrics. I've never known what the fuck either Guy or Ian have been saying on these records over the years cuz of all the noise. I just think it rocks. I can get my politics right out in the street, thank you very much. :-)

[documentaryonawasp]

Reminds me of Day in the City 2!

[geographyy]

I don't really know what the first part of the song is about. Seems to me like its about a girl he likes. But the second part is pretty much just bitching out Lockheed Martin for being the corporatist sons of bitches that they are.

"You should pay rent in my mind." That is an awesome line.

[omar5430000]

They're making an analogy between boyish affection and them merger of Lockheed and Martin Marietta, who came came together in 1995, the same year the album came out. Equating the world's largest defense contractor with love is ironic.

[twizelby]

woa neat i like that

[AdsuMudi]

Didn't see your comment till now. Thanks.

[cauthoncrazy]

@geographyy Amen. I think it explains everyone's issues with a crush!! Love love love Guy's voice on this song. He kills it.

[mediattackrecords]

@geographyy i think its just mocking scene people who are noncorporate and want to be popular really bad.

[AdsuMudi]

Does anyone know what Guy is singing about? His lyrics are slightly more relational than Ian's but sooooo esoteric. I'd actually like to know...anyone?

[HamburgerMartyr]

Fag uzi...wait a minute, that's a Mark Prindle joke!

[fosterch]

FUGAZI!

[bobbyChrismikeLou]

hey if you re-arrange the letters their name is "fag uzi." i guess that's like a machine gun a gay man would use?

[blishypoos]

Excellent logic. Are you a biscuit made out of arms and legs that resemble small plants, Shrubby Limb Cookie?

[xBillyTheKidx]

did you actually take the time to rearrange the letters of his username? you're no better than him.

[Ruiner213]

Lmao, I personally thought that blishypoos anagram was pretty creative.

[AdsuMudi]

Well done.

[leecorey1]

this is great!
