VIOLENT FEMMES-Add it Up

[ch1nmuzak]

Femmes concerts in the day were legendary. Saw them twice at a spot called the commadore in Vancouver. Non stop action, never sweated so much.

I recall a live interview where a female morning show reporter got a hold of Brian Ritchie. It was hilarious. Every Q she asked, he replied with double entendre answers that were so blantantly saying "end this interview now and we'll find the nearest utility closet". I was rolling on the floor. Quite certain she took him up on it too. Sexy Mullet!

[ropeluna]

THIS SONG IS AWESOMEEE!!

[ScreaminREDhead97]

And I also enjoy Ethan Hawkes version. Reality does indeed Bite. FML!!!

[ScreaminREDhead97]

I just want one good 'I wanna get laid' song from my generation. Ke$ha has big shoes to fill. Thus far, she's got some fucking tiny ass feet...

[blooregard77]

i would love to love you, lover

[sdbigge]

This is the best goddamn video on Youtube.

[emarkovits91]

@sdbigge i love you

[kileha]

WOW ! So, great , this song . One of my very favourites in earlier days ;-) I love the hole album .

Thanks for up !

[simpleplebian]

those black security guys are just like "...fucking white people..."

[Matuxmatux]

First heard this in Surveillance (2008) and instantly fell in love with it. They remind me of pixies...

[moby9020]

:)

[Frallon]

Holy shit this is just fucking awesome.

[muzboz]

That bass player is a fucking animal! He's always been a real inspiration to me as a bass player. Brian Ritchie, my hat of to you!

And his hair REALLY means business. What a bunch of beautiful dorks they are...

[pupskopf]

Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs

Oh my my my my my mo my mother

[0darksaul0]

this guys ROCKS!

[StrangeIsMyWorld]

@0darksaul0 Guys...Violent Femmes are a trio.

[timepope]

Dang he looks like the little guy from Kids in the halll

[Jabbles2738]

a little more movement from the frontman would be appreciated, a little stage prescence doesnt hurt.

[4freshflower]

This song is an Oedipal song.

[chiconmaui]

still tuesday i think

[SLAPnPOP726]

damn, michael j. fox rips on guitar.

[crete484]

first time i heard this band i was on acid in a row boat on elk lake with my bud ended up on a beach of some church cult . There women smelled so good an fresh an they were listening to violent femmes lol . Thank you church girls still trippin thank you femmes . Nothin but love here for ya oh an them sweet girls mmmmmm

[logan1776]

@crete484 there a=is a special breed that had the privelege of coming to age with this music!! we had to be smart enough to find it then awesome enough to see its GENIUS!!!

[CutiePie4325]

I still don't know if I hate this band so much I love it or I love it so much I hate it. :/

[gwn72]

This is the Best Band that Ever Existed.

[briantravelman]

This is one of those bands that is better to listen to then see. It's just that, it doesn't look like THAT voice would come out of THAT guy. Who else agrees with me?

[cinebeatl]

@briantravelman  I definitely agree!

[Jordster73]

I'd only kick him out of bed to do him on the floor!! lol

[StrangeIsMyWorld]

@Jordster73 Gordon Gano's punk rock spunk would split you in two. Do yourself a favour try something a little easier like the lead singer of Nickelback or Robert Patinson before you try to take the stabilisers off your vagina so you can pop a wheelie on the cock of anyone this passionate.

[erezbenmoshe]

OMFG IS THAT A HAND AT 4:13?!?!?!!

[Jerry1991388]

@erezbenmoshe

Yes XD that was one of their little gags

[twasbrillig33]

[motherthirteen]

[lilarenasguibe]

[TheMoonunit13]

I once wore the same mullet as the bass player. It has magic powers.

[otherjay11]

@TheMoonunit13 Yeah, who didn't? We didn't call it a mullet back then it was just hair.

[barelestabloparaiso]

good memories!!!!violent femmes...!!

[chrisis138]

Are you tellin me this sucker is nuclear? Whoa, this is heavy.

[partyhardydardy]

the bass player's mullet says he's ready to fucking rock. he'll rock your goddamn face off.

[smitten991]

thank god for talent and sounding true.!! If you don't like it, get off the site! Especially you ...delineof civilization!!!

[joshwood413]

[goredzilla]

VIOLENT FEMMES !!!!!!!

One of the greatest band / concert experience I've had !!!

So far ahead of their time and the most under rated band in music, period !

[donesean]

I like this band because they sing in a kind gentle truthful manner.

[calcla101]

Cooking!



[bcace]

ALL OUT BALLS!!!!!! FUCK YOU DISLIKERS WE DONT NEED YOU

[catchr7bluedevil]

To each their own. I gave it a try. I can see why some people would like it, but I'm going to go back to my classic rock now. Thanks for the upload.

[teresaduplissey]

This is an amazing live recording!!!

[mooseasaurusrex]

41 people didn't bring all their gear.

[motavation69]

badass

[sethtastical]

his voice is offensive

[witchdoctor420corona]

Most played cassette in my collection since 1982!

[AbortiveEntropy]

This song is gold, but that mullet is killing me.

[phunkjunkeefan]

@AbortiveEntropy which one? LOL

[AbortiveEntropy]

@phunkjunkeefan ahahah good point. I guess I was focused on Ritchie's, hah.

[phunkjunkeefan]

@AbortiveEntropy which one? LOL

[pfliegaphonic]

[stmichelob]

Bands, cocaine and the 80s go together like peas and carrots. And peas.

[lchngn]

Violent Femmes the BEST !



[AddItUp226]

[squidster29yay]

He looks like Michael J Fox but way better. Kind of moves like an orthodox Jew in the beginning.

[redpaul79]

@squidster29yay hummmm--they're both Gemini

[declineofcivlization]

4:02 the best part starts i got chills.

[michalosification]

this reminds me of when M fox gets down on the guitar in Back To The Future

[Adrianclassyman]

People that came to watch this video just to hate on it Fuck off imature sons of bitches, this is a great band.

[axlehoses1]

the drummer has one drum. and he cuts hair for the band

[stmichelob]

Kids, this is your brain on coke.

Creative as a sum-bitch and able to play a high-energy gig and then go backstage and fuck 20 bitches.

Kids, don't do drugs.

What would your mother think?

[thenickfaber]

This is punk as fuck.

[TheSurvivor444]

@thenickfaber hell yea man

[xxrickyrottenxx]

[xandermonkey1]

One of the best bands ever - yes, there are more than just Led Zeppelin. Expand your mind dude! lol

[drummerdo0od]

@Mikeyb11288 Yeah, so?

[declineofcivlization]

@drummerdo0od fuck you and led zepplin.

[declineofcivlization]

@drummerdo0od fuck you and your led zepplin overrated hippie bullshit,dont assume its all anarchy,we have different perceptions of talent and i dont think seven minutes of overproduced shit is to good either.

[declineofcivlization]

@drummerdo0od haha you dont even know what you listen to that shit aint fuckin death metal it might have influenced it a little but its hippie shit thats what it is.get a clue.

[Bunniesonfire5]

@drummerdo0od fuck off, alright?



[drummerdo0od]

@Bunniesonfire5 I will... i was just pissed, but im done....

[declineofcivlization]

@drummerdo0od dont call me ignorant ive heard led zepplin.

[nappyapplerecs]

@drummerdo0od Have you ever listened to descendents, bad religion, strung out - masterful musicianship. And the Queers are punks answer to the Beach Boys. Ass.

[stmichelob]

@nappyapplerecs QWA QWA SONG FTW!!! BASSMASTER GENERAL!

[lacassula]

FUCKIN' GUITAR!

[luvs2playwiu]

I think this is one of their best performances.....wish I'd been there!!!

[maxijazzing]

stars



[MordaciousFilms]

Gordon looks like Michael J. Fox.

[smitten991]

@MordaciousFilms obviously white boys or canadians all look alike. gawdd, there is no resemblance. MJ is so much cuter.

Open your eyes. Gordon your guy is cute, but not nearly as cute. No tv face there.

His voice is pure talent. Hide any face behind a cloth and wow!! his voice has that appeal. I think he does too, to me. not to the teenie boppers of course. But he has it. Don't tell him.

He knows

So sad

[Katnipkity]

@smitten991

gordan Gano is so much cuter than Michael.

[drescora]

@MordaciousFilms he stands too still...

[ninjah852]

Very,very,words strong

[mariovillalobosnla]

Man I remember seeing these guys at the Fenders Ball Room, in Long Beach, Ca. back in 1983-84, Are these guys still jamming?

[KrisTheTroublemaker]

@mariovillalobosnla They called it quits about 2 years ago :(

[scumgod13]

Screw all that TV Crap these guys were the best mi of acoustic, electric bass driven rock for their time. I wish the frat boys wouldn't have got a hold of them though. Same with Hippies getting into the Butthole Surfers. That's PUNK ROCK music.

[TrashDivine]

Looks sweaty.

[wildmaxwelton]

I think at least 500,000 of the views are mine.

[leakygutter]

love it love it love it! rosita

[christopherg8106]

[oscartoast1]

[ohchalmers]

[GennasiedeXXX]

[triulalume]

[BournemouthVEVO]

Fantastic... a classic 80s rave at a concert. Why is everything about getting pissed or high or fucking everyone at concerts now? You just go to have fun and listen to the music :P

[SheriKaminski]

@BournemouthVEVO people have always gotten pissed high or fucking everyone at concerts, they're just idiots and won't go away. Peace out ~~~yo!!

[happybirthdayto007]

[sitedesign2000]

[TheRamsesII]

[bmenzul]

Look at the audience. If this was today they'd be standing around for fear that flailing will make them look less cool.

[Conorilla]

The audience are loving it at the start.

[Hellhound406]

mullet



[tescocadaver]

They sound nothing like Joy Division

[Loganpatrickartrip]

im 15 and this is the best band ive ever heard......and they were hot before i was born, for quite awhile, thats how you know a band is good, when the next generation is still in love with them

[freakbynature100]

@Loganpatrickartrip I'm 43 and this still is one of the best bands I ever heard (and seen).that says a lot. ps : I resently discovered Dub FX , check out their "love someone" and "soothe your pain" I love it but it's different shit though.cheers.

[Rockguitarhero462]

@Loganpatrickartrip you love violent femmes? yah, you're going to turn out all right kid.

[1976ean]

???



[Missthumper83]

Whenever I'm feeling down I like to blast the Violent Femmes and it always puts me in a better mood.

[MALARAZZA]

[Sexxistentialist]

[MsSonic1972]

TUNE

[ProfaneRex]

that mullet is fantastico!

[importantwoman]

check out the bouncers trying to control that crowd. It's fucking hilarious.

[wireinexile]

I'll never tire of hearing this song. Still ranks high as one of the best things to come out of alternative music in over 30 years and still gets new fans to the band generation on generation. Timeless and justifiably so, ounce to ounce :-)

[MiiaxFam0us]

S O F U C K I N G G O O D.

[importantwoman]

Fuck, Gano is a beautiful little creature.

[ACEDWTF]

38 people need a 38 to shoot shoot shoot themselves with
