Death - Freakin Out

[jonbakeruuutube]

holy hell, this is pure punk. not protopunk. actual punk as it came to be known eg. sex pistols 'god save the queen'

this is absolutely amazing. imagine if death had changed their names as the columbia record boss wanted.

[veilofmaya75]

You know what totally sucks? The fact that I am 36 years old and I am a guy who grew up listening to punk / hardcore music and this is the first time that I have ever heard of Death. THESE GUYS TOTALLY KILL IT. This is one of THE BEST punk songs that I have ever heard and I can't believe that it was released the year that I was born. These guys were ahead of their time. GREAT STUFF!!!!!! More people to learn about this band, so I am going to help spread the word!

[chaosallstar]

@veilofmaya75 Everything you just said.

[sugaslim201]

Iggy and the stooges came out in 1967 big deal

[MrDpool1]

Wow, 4 years before Pay To Cum, Out Of Vogue, and Nervous Breakdown I'd say Politicians In My Eyes is the first hardcore record. Here are the Sonics is the first punk record..

[whitedwarf13]

@MrDpool1 Calling it hardcore is a bit of a stretch...

[asflelful]

@MrDpool1

listen

jimi hendrix johnny b goode

Kid Thomas - Rockin' this Joint Tonight - 1959 and

Bunker Hill - The Girl Can´t Dance - 1962

Punk before Sonics

[VHHV822]

2 dislikes... 2 white male scums

[whitedwarf13]

@VHHV822 take your racism elsewhere

[drc9777]

agree on the ahead-of-their-time sentiment

[xXshadowXx48]

YOU GOT TO LOE CLASIC PUNK ROCK

[FredwardAlexandru]

This isnt proto-punk, this is fucking punk rock. These cats are way ahead of their time.

[toddred9]

Sweet music

[Demitchii]

Can't believe i just found it! :D:D:D

been looking for it for a while now since i first heard it on HIMYM!!! \m/

[dyrkness]

From everything I've read, this was recorded in 1973, not '75.

[LordWhittle]

SUPREME



[captainblou]

OMG! This is the Shit!

[SKOTP69]

I'm definitely FREAKIN' OUT!!! 'Cos DEATH are one of the most amaaaaaaazing groups ever! The further you go back, the moe treasures you find, and DEATH are an amazing and almost unbelievable treasure!

[BMTBabe]

These guys are sick. The fact they're black just adds to the coolness!

[935323]

yes!!!!!!

[attilathefun1]

what a great band. thanks for posting this.

[WhimsicalQuandary]

I heard this on How I Met Your Mother the other day and was amazed that I was actually hearing Death, a band that is sadly barely known and very underrated, on a mainstream television show.

Whoever chose to use this song for the episode has a great taste in music.

[benignism]

this is too awesome..

[74brooklynboi]

Way ahead of their time.

[fredgorey]

holy shit these guys are fucking awesome.....

[njlacrosse9]

i was just watching how i met your mother and they played this song. my friend had no idea why i got excited haha

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@njlacrosse9 It blew my mind when I heard it ahaha.

[mrfoxy9]

@njlacrosse9 i saw it too! it was so cool!

[asher42445]

god this moves me.. i see some of them in eagles of death metal too...

[Gatakumo]

Sining is a bit kinda poppy....but meh, not evryone has to sound like shit

[Duraan84]

This is kinda Agent Orange before Agent Orange

[tom77092]

It's hard to believe this is 1975.

[do0mz]

Fuck the sex pistols, This is what punk was!

[PersonMan92]

I really wish I could find lyrics for this song. Death is badass stuff.

[ElectricTiger]

Death is excellent! I love this band.

[VierNulAcht]

I was going through a Thrasher magazine that my boy was in, when I saw a little picture and a few sentences about them. This shit is sick! unlike the metal band death. I can't believe these guys aren't more popular in the punk scene

[robin195959]

what a pity these guys missed out on their undoubtdely deserved success/credit. awesome attitude and graet sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sistermachinegun]

makes me downright proud as a black woman to see these cats were around so far back. Truly impressed...like, i'm freakin' out, man. i had no idea about this band.

most excellent, regardless of color.

[solstingr]

this is just awesome. period.

[departments2006]

This is really 1975????

[Freshadeneu]

Bad Brains didn't bite anyone.

[LaughingLefty]

I doubt if Bad Brains were influenced, or ever heard of these guys. HR is a unique original, the guy just does what he does, he has no idea what he's doing. He's just three kinds of crazy.

[guitarded71]

@LaughingLefty - actually they've acknowledged DEATH as an early influence in interviews before.

[sonicavenga]

Lovin' it! ;D)

[WillyMcCoy50]

I would rob a pharmacy to go to one of their shows!! What color they are make no difference to me. They are tough!!

[kjrm6796]

These visionary brothers were so boss!!!

[pignose21]

My Bad Brain Exploded F***ing awsome band

[kingazzaman]

PIONEERS!!!!!

Stripped down 3 piece punk in 1975!!?? Just awesome.

It took most of the world 30 years to catch up

[aupsychobilly]

@kingazzaman Thirty years to catch up? WTF does that mean!? They are good, but don't be histrionic...Iggy and the Stooges were better and from the same area...and started earlier.

[omnigeddon]

@aupsychobilly tech eveyrone feeds off everyone it starts tho at "robert johnson" from the 20's the poineer of rock who pretty much started it all started with slavery whihc lead to the blues which lead to johnson which lead to satan teaching him rock haha

[MrTonyCejas]

@aupsychobilly No one said they were better than The Stooges, who were the original Punk Band with all respect to them...But being an African-American Punk band, and not following the norm in "black society" is quite a feat...just enjoy the music

[antmeans]

@kingazzaman took you 30 years to catch up.

[lukeandlea]

I'm freakin out about how bad-ass this song is !

[ginsburgfan999]

The Vocalist does sound like H.R., weird. :)

[kr1ssy82]

no bad brains did not bite death ... they were apparently heavily influenced by them though ... but don't hate on bad brains! both are incredible bands!!!

[UZIsuicide9111]

@kr1ssy82 i doubt bad brainds ever heard of these guys

[dubasher]

did Bad Brains bite on these guys?  seems so

[christco120]

It sounds like MC5 meets Thin Lizzy, fronted by HR.

[BadassDolemite]

Proto Punk!!!! aye start looking at my channel more its gonna blow your mind. learnin this song xD

[Londagamo]

this is the first black punk band i've heard of

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

You're right I never heard of these cats until I read the Mos Def interview in Filter Magazine. He plans to direct and produce an Biography about the group. I can't wait until it come out. The funny thing is I saw a story on Black Puk Rockers but these cats wasn't mentioned. Thy Music is futuristic.

[Londagamo]

thats rad!

[hiddenpunk291]

what about bad brains?

[christco120]

So you never heard of Bad Brains? Are you kidding me? They've only been around for 30 years and release about a dozen records. You must be a real punk lover.

[Londagamo]

well i do now they are good. im more of a ska punk fan though not that its an excuse

[LeLimeLine]

Check out the Bad Brains. They're all black, and one of the all time greatest punk groups ever.

[Londagamo]

thanks i did and they are great!

[nandorude82]

awesome!!better record of this year ..for sure

[ilikeme343]

DEATH!

[tomdanx]

I have a Thin Lizzy feeling with this band..!

[jaydakap]

no way this is like bad brains these guys are before the bad brains though

[galaxigrl68]

I thought the same thing at first! I also definitely hear some HR from Bad Brains...these guys rule, I don't know why they weren't bigger. Guess the world wasn't ready for them back in '75.

[ekimosis]

This is a pretty rad song

[lalalaboomdeeay]

Holy shit...fuck yeah

[rokarolla]

They just played this on WZBC

[manelabb]

Exelente banda,,,,,,,muy pero muy buena.....esto si es rock and roll

[BashYouLongtime]

A mi tambien amigo!

[loupi20]

Amazing! ITS great to discover this band.

[talenteder]

Oh my God!!! Death is Awesome!!!!
