[NinjaSammie]

kim nekroman is a man!

[604PENNYWISE]

going to see them next thursday!

[ultraviolentgeisha]

this is the funniest cover ever. I LOVE IT!

[p00k4kk3]

Eh, I can see how some people might be infatuated with this song, but they seem like they are trying to be too many other bands at one time. But, maybe there is something I am not getting.

[psychoslap]

@p00k4kk3 this is a cover, maybe you aren't getting that...

[koolaidman]

Check out the music! Heck even subscribe! :D -Los Mumblers

[MelbourneUrbex]

Nekromantix are by far the best Psychobilly band..(Except maybe for Zombie Ghost Train) They're both neck & neck

[26kungfu26]

@MelbourneUrbex

[droogo]

@MelbourneUrbex

You0re definitley deaf....Nekromantix and Zombie Ghost Train the best psychobilly bands?.....Nekromantix is No Doubt with slap bass....what about Demented Are Go,The Meteors,The Krewmen,Guanabatz,P.O.X,Batmob­ile,all real psychobilly bands,not the posers you mentioned,and it's not about "taste" it'a bout FACTS,all the bands i mentioned are the ones who originated everything in psychobilly music....

[psychoslap]

@droogo fuck yea

[Blechi]

I Really love this BAND!!!

[aka0]

[FilthyIcon]

@aka0

Yes indeed, that is Ian Dawn.

[necrOothic]

Nekro's 4 ever

[JR08620]

You all deserve to DIE for posting this on youtube.

I would first have your barber run over by a pack of running bulls and all of you forced to watch OLD CLIPS of HOWARD COSELL. May God have mercy on your talentless souls.

[GUYZED1]

@JR08620

YOU WONLDN'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC IF IT RAN AND BIT YOU ON THE ASS.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT...WHY ARE YOU WATCHING IT?

FCUK OFF AND DIE YOU TWAT.

[changobilly22]

@JR08620 talentless? ooohhh right, cus they cant play instruments and use autotune

oh wait, they CAN play instruments and DONT use autotune

do yourself a favor kid, stick to your mainstream manufactured "music" and do as industry tells you, and let us have our fun : )

damn troll, haha

[JR08620]

@changobilly22 So, what are you doing? HYPOCRITE. You need to put your Halloween OUTFIT ON and go out TRICK OR TREATING with your BOYFRIENDs.

As for this group, they need to interrogate terrorists because after 5 minutes, they would confess to shooting REGAN, JFK and LINCOLN.

GET LOST LOSER!

[msanthropanachronism]

I am madly in love with this.

[jayr956]

anyone know who the guitarist is? was he the original guitarist? and what albums did he come out in(play in)

[CaxAttack]

That's Ian Dawn, he was guitarist for Back From the Grave album, he still plays but some other type of music.

[bunklefee]

@CaxAttack He has some real horror screams in the backing vocals of that album! Gives it a real horror feel which the band is all about

[doubletapm4]

svoice of this guy is way better then pete 1

[FuckedUpMetalChick]

one of the best pychobilly bands ever

[nekrokat666]

no tattoos yet?? the guitarists shirt i SICK!!!!

[micke432]

[IAINoodle]

i'd love to hear a recording of this

[xxFESTER13xx]

[mercado215]

[brandipandilee]

L.G.

Lion

[TylerDESTROY]

Nekromantix are STILL good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jack2breeze]

i remember this song from the early 80`s

[pup2097]

Question for the women ..

Are these not the best boyband ever ???

[SwedishPeach]

Hell yea!

[Psikonaute666]

Actually YES !

[SkipperCille]

Oh yes, indeed!

[psykozomby123]

hell yeah!

[gabe1352]

@pup2097 Nekro isnt a boy band, the drummer is a chick!! aha :D

[fayyguyy]

@gabe1352 but at one time.. or rather many times, the lineup did consist of all males

[BarbieKiller242]

@pup2097

ohh absolutly not!

[26kungfu26]

@pup2097 they are soo awsomme i love them my opinion i love rot in hell

[DanDanTheBassman]

This shit is just way too funny. For those of you who don't already know, this is "Born to Be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez, an amazingly cheesy disco tune.

[psychomig]

yeah, but throw in an upright and some distortion and it makes it all better.

[finestbottleofheron]

fail!

[GanjaWeasel]

nekromantix WERE good..

[xRHYDDERCHx]

Funny faces xD

[CaxAttack]

does anyone know what Ian Dwn is up to these day?(still in psycho scene?/band?/disappeared?)

[Gerbalicious]

he does folk music now. hes got a myspace

[milano1919]

this is no good at all.

[gorejira]

i love how the guitarist is doing the "doo do do" noises

[aintpluggedin]

a suitcase, thats right,

and an old guitar........

[Gerbalicious]

dude ian dawn is wrecking to his own song, fuck yes.

[fatcataec]

What year was this shot? Pretty funny seeing Nekroman with no tattoos.

[blackoutRx7]

Was this a Single? Because I have never heard this one till about a few months ago?

Nekromantix is my biggest inspiration, I fucking love this band

[MrVunyon]

Ok well, to the elvis dude down there, We know it's not the 50's, But we choose to accept the past and put it into new views.

We love psychobilly for what it is, And how many differnt ways you can make it, If you dont like the band, or dont like the song, Just dont even bother wasting your time puttin up some comment that says complete b.s

[ToxicStitches27]

Damn! Nekroman was freakin young during this video, god I love him =)

[Abbicus1]

that was such a badass cover

[MrVunyon]

Kim has freaking mongoloid hands man.

Never noticed how big they where before, you know wat they say about big hands thow...

Big feet

This is my favorite video hands down thow.

This was such a great lineup

[elvisjimpa100]

ok this isent elvis or the fiffties

[ElMalvado]

No shit, it's late 80's psychobilly got nothing to do with elvis

[knightfromoutzide]

epic cover (Y)

[nazipaska]

I don't get this Brought back to life stuff. Are you guys really saying that Hellbound wasn't their best album.

Pecause i think BBTL is nothing but a pop shit.

Stop listening this. The Krewmen is much better.

[Jayhasissues]

holy 80's!!!

[stormtrooper182]

"a suitcase and a coffin bass" hahaha

[delfino2187]

the guitar reminds me of the lead singer of joy devision in this video

[GummiHopse78]

...this is better than the new crap, they are playin... ...or what Kim is playin...

Sick Sick...

[christopherrobi]

[killfroggy26]

Thanks. Im sure i could have just wikipediaed that but im "Professionally" to fucking lazy.

[killfroggy26]

So his name is real kim not dan?

[r336d]

yes its Kim

[afipsychogal]

his name is dan gaarde. kim nekroman is his stage name.

[r336d]

ask him hell tell you the story

[Trevorv666]

@afipsychogal

actually its Kim Gaarde, not Dan

[killfroggy26]

What i want to know is if he LEGALLY changed his name to Kim Necro(insert ending part of last name here).

[r336d]

thats his real name.

[OriginalJramion]

They slaughtered one of my most fav songs....but I fucking loved it.

[ballek7]

Kim's real name is Dan Gaarde

[16v92]

bad ass cover

[themisfit411]

awesome vid!!!

[SkipperCille]

Ian isn't a Danish name. Dawn is "Daggry" in english. I think the J was replaced for the name to sound more international. So we are talking about the same person, Ian Dawn/Jan Daggry.

Well, am I right that this song was only released on the orignial "brought back to life"? And was it the CD og the LP or both?

[greasymatt]

I have the original cd and it's not on there.

[r336d]

Its was on the first batches of Brought Back to Life Again(rerelease). It not an actual song on the cd it comes as a digital media on this video

[SkipperCille]

I don't understand what "batches" mean? ( I am not that good at english) Is it a kind of online code or extra cd to hear this song/live recording on a computer? I haven't actually been released by Nekromantix, or..?

And do you mean it was on a limited number of the "brought back to life again" (the purple re-release) ?

[r336d]

The orignal cd of brought back to life was released in 1994. After signing to hellcat records nekromantix had it rereleased in 2005. it was rereleased as brought back again with the to life marked out. The rerelease had the original version of the intro that was ruined and was not able to be released back in 94. it also included alternate version of monster movie fan and nekrofelia as well as the digital media video of born to be alive.

[r336d]

The first batches of the rerelease that were released in England had the video. Due to nekromantix not having the rights to the song they were not able to release it therefor the rest of the cds that were made did not have the video on there yet it was still written in the back of the cd cover

[SkipperCille]

Yeah, there is two different intro's I know, because the original was on a casette tape that broke - but when the re-release was on its way modern technology was invented and they could save the sound on it.

I actually have the first Brought Back To Life on a Picture Lp, but I never listened to the intro.

Do anyone know where I can buy the first batches (?) with the video on? HAVE TO HAVE!

[r336d]

you can probably find used ones on ebay. nothing is going to tell you that at its a first batch unless they tell you that the video is on there. on ebay alot of them say that the video is included but its not its just stating what the cover says. rip the video from here

[riseagainstneverdie]

great cover

[WickedFallLazy]

awersome!!!

[MrVunyon]

I personally think that this was the best era Of Nekromantix. They just put so much energy into it.

[goldfingerholic]

Pause on 1:39 to see Kim in the spotlight LMFAO

[curtsey]

Ian Dawns voice is pure sex!

Best voice ever.

[doubletapm4]

so is this ian or pete in this video?

[mdomitro]

its ian dawn

[SkipperCille]

His name is Jan Daggry

[riseagainstneverdie]

dude its ian

[heavtmetalmegadeth]

IAN DAWN FUCKEN DOMINATES!!!

i luv peter but ian dawn is the best

[kriznekroman]

Nekroman rocks! but it was even better when Pete was on the band!

[koolaidman]

pete was the best buyt they brought back another pete hes pretty bad ass better than try destroy

[nekroeddie13]

Okay This Was The "Brought Back To Life" Era And It Was Almost One Of The Best Time's Nekro had.

The Sandorff Brothers Are Good But This

Is One Of The Original LineUps

And Besides The Backup Vocals Of Ian Dawn Was Superb

Just Hear The Album "Brought Back To Life"

And You Will Know What Im Talking About.

[Skinkefar]

Yeah, i gotta agree, brought back is one of the best albums ever!! Not only when it comes to psychobilly... Dawns vocal rules!!

[Graveyardqueen1]

sexy

[godlesswickedvanian]

horrible, without peter, even though kim the head master, it is awful.

[xzxz619]

The most disgusting band ever, what type of trash is this?, i feel so emberressed to actually be in a Death-Metal Band.

[turnoffs]

its called psychobilly. don't worry, you dont play it. but by all means you should still feel embarrassed.

[rockabillyhepcat13]

haha nice one

[CBfan1225]

cover?

[Jazzzzzou]

OMFG 2:22 hahahahahahhahahahahahah

Nice cover :D lov nekromantix

[sspsychotic]

ive seen this vid numerous times, it still makes my hair stand up!

[CBfan1225]

why?

[CBfan1225]

why?

[nekronotz]

Being a psychobilly musician myself for ovre 10 years, I do have to say one thing, Nekromantix have ALWAYS kicked ass. The people who think it is 'their' culture, stop and realize- you didn't pop out of your mom as a psycho. None of us did. So to all the dumbshits who 'stereotype' all of this, get over it. You are prolly the reason why the music is getting ruined since you think you know all . . . This video rocks, enough said.

[tigerarmy014]

rockabilly fuckin rules

[mamaija]

Horror punk rock's

Misfits

Blood sucking zombies F.o.S.

Nekromantix

[PerfectlyFuckedUp]

nekromantix are the shit and one of the first psychbilly bands to come out after the meteors, so dont go bashing a band who's influence has reached most newer psychobilly bands out there today you fucks

[BloodWolf138]

Actually not really. Nekromantix I think came out in 89, Meteors been around since 79. There were alot of bands inbetween that time period.

[PJBTW125]

Was the title of the meteors first album called the wrecking crew ?

[BloodWolf138]

Thats the second. The first is "In Heaven" Both really good cds

[PJBTW125]

Thanx! Did you get the cd only the meteors are pure psychobilly ? In my opinion some of there sickest tunes:)

[Astrozombieskulls]

I don't see why the people that don't like psychobilly come to this video and knock on the people that do so I say fuck you if you want to be a dick about it.I mean I like death metal and punk plus psychobilly so stop being a fucken little bitch

[jack2breeze]

the term "psychobilly" was first used in the Johnny Cash song ONE PIECE AT A TIME in 1976 then The Cramps used it to discribe their music

[wackosicko0]

greasers killed the psychobilly , the fuck is up with coffins, graveyards and all that bullshit

lol i agree with verbskiller

[PsychobillyCaddy]

well i guess because the punk side of psychobilly is more Horrorpunk. thats why the misfits are a huge influence

[greaser1chick]

Nekromantix is the bomb!!!!! what more can u say?

[aranaiel]

umm why do people have to sit here and trash this band? i mean if you dont like them then dont watch them... im sorry but it just seems kind of rediculous to me.

but i understand you wanted to voice your opinion on them or their singer whatever. but really now...

i dunno it just seems like there are alot of people that are quick to yell "sell out" these days just because the band wants to be bigger or have more fans.

[lateskimanne]

Oh!I just love Nekromantix.I love Nekromans voice:

[Drozda89]

Is that a jaguar fender ian dawn is playing?

[erodriguez742]

its a thinline telecaster

[verbskiller]

You know what elmickio, I bet you're one of those insecure psychos who have no choice but to go on with what other people have to say so you'll be cool and shit, just like all the rest. Let me guess, I bet you wear a dickies black jacket, blue cuffed jeans, creepers, and greaser hair, just like everyone else, nothing special, just an insecure psycho trying to fit in with every one else.

[elmickio]

Yes that's correct Verbs, I'm a very very insecure Psycho......hmmmmmmm. The fact that someone is trying to bring this genre mainstream makes me very insecure, i don't want johhny diesel and Victoria haircut be part of my culture. They can all suck eggs.

[BatousaiManSlayer]

Elmickio- FUCK. YOU.

[elmickio]

Yes Fuck me! Original

[upper0class0fuck0up]

I like the set-up.

[calavera69]

WOW this is the original band!

[Evilucas]

Man I never get why there's so much hate for nekromantix. It's just fun music. If you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it.

[RamblinRantanplan]

this is one of my fav. psycho vids, even tho i hate them

[whirlwindZOR]

Wow, a psychobilly cover of Patrick Hernandez.

[nekrodoll13]

elmickio youre a dumbshit douche bag.

[elmickio]

Yes im a big a douchebag as your name is original!  Moron

[elmickio]

Kim Nekroman is the biggest sell out dick....he's trying to ruin Psychobilly

[stoolsample89]

i saw the nekromantix 2 weeks ago at the sate theartre it was fukin awsome

[tobey84533]

this video sucks!!

but nekromantix is still the best

[ManiacBiffs]

Best nekromantix formation ever.

[HeadSledge]

They were my favorite broken english band before they buddied up with Tim the tool armstrong.

[Bmcd134]

wow they suck

[hahahhahahahahahahah]

fuck you

[Adrenochrome]

i love comments on youtube (or whatever), first you read someone calling another person a dumb ass for some reason and then AFTER you read the dumb ass's dumbass comment. It's the oposite from real life and it makes my day.

[UndVictor]

damn theyre so fuckin young :O

[saradee661]

damn they were so young in this video!!

[ringmyskel]

great song!

[Memoryscreen]

I prefer the original "born to be wild"

[slater2323]

you dumb ass, born to be aliuve from patrick henandez, this song is a cover fromt hat song, not some mixed shit from born to be wild:P

[DocHelliday]

hahaha thats soo trippy huh?

[Grayskull77]

i think they got better when the sandorff brothers came in only because i can't stand the backing vocals from the guitarist.

[DocHelliday]

peter sandorff sounds pretty raspy like this guy, i could be wrong but the "brought back to life era" was the only time peter sandoff didn't play guitar on a nekro cd, excluding this new cd of course.

[monksanonymous]

Yes you could and you are.

[graveyardstomp]

man it's crazy how much their sound has changed...when is this video from?

[Naunaud128]

Shitty band.

[Brozzador]

hahahaha very nice!

[marthastewjailed]

yeah we all miss pete in the band. i like him in nekro alot more than in mad sin. also awesome band.

[nofun1969]

yea but his new project Hola Ghost is really cool.

[hahahhahahahahahahah]

Born to be alive is a cover song. Patrick Hernandez is the original singer

[RamblinRantanplan]

if they still sounded like this i would buy all ther cds....

great vid

[DocHelliday]

Thank you, I think they sound better hear than any of their CDs

if they still sounded like this i would actually buy ther cds...

great vid
