[MoralNihilism]

@Porkchoppa76 Oh man, not another anti-Semitic YouTube warrior ... your ilk lacks any originality and becomes quite tiring after a while.

I hate Communism but it is nothing to do with some big Jewish conspiracy.If Jews have influence it's just because they're well-educated (and that's coming from a gentile).

And incidentally Beefheart has very little to do with the hippie movement.

I don't know why I'm bothering to reply since you've closed your account. But fuck you anyway.

The closet Captain Beefheart ever got to doing a bad record was when he done Bluejeans & Moonbeams, and that still has a few great tracks on it. When he was at his his best, he was a force of nature, and in my opinion , Safe as Milk has some of his best stuff.

[premature0autopsy]

Captain Beefheart is so ELECTRICITY!

[ottart08]

I had this in vinyl till some eff wad stole my record collection, glad to have found it here, thanks for posting...

[weekendexploits]

Captain Beefheart is so sick!

And fuck all you music snobs who are too good for "music today". Just becuase its not on the radio does not mean that good music is not being "made today". You just need to know where to look. Get off your fucking high horse and and culture yourslef a little bit. No reason to be stuck in the past.

[doyler613]

@weekendexploits restructure sentence (its ok to be stuck in the past tbh )

[weekendexploits]

@doyler613 huh

[MrDeadhead32]

Im only 70yrs old and nobody my age listens to this, i wish they would because all of todays music is garbage, oh yeah captain beefheart is the reason i love this song i have no clue who kevin long is.

[MIZZYMARC]

@MrDeadhead32 hes a skateboarder who is sponsored by baker skateboards and emerica footwear.

im just letting you know dude.

[godfreyhowatchin]

fuck man i threw in an extra apostrophe and that calls into question the legitimacy of everything i said

still, though, porkchoppa, you're a fucking moron.

[godfreyhowatchin]

@Porkchoppa76 more like the christians/capitalists have taken over the west, you uninformed, lying scoundrel spitting trash-toothed memes gleaned from television

trumpet poop on the ground with peanuts. it's bell was blocking an ant's vision.

[greg123654]

[hogiesanKenobi]

@beowulf3075 How true .. Enjoy, we are still here and loving it ! The true test is you show a youngster and they love it too,,, Cheers and stay well ..

[beowulf3075]

@hogiesanKenobi - Someone recommended The Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot, and except for couple of tracks which sound bit dated the rest, imho, is magic !

[azzummm]

the world was a better place with the captian

[badtrooper13]

Thumbs up if you came here because you knew this band not because of stay gold.

[eg042680]

@badtrooper13 i don't even know what 'stay gold' is... will google it now though

[naturelover1957]

This song gives me goosebumps!Fabulous.I would have liked to hear Lowell George jam with this band.

[Capuano231]

omg that is amazing

[funnyas1234567]

stay gold

[GUTTERMOD]

I swore I saw Don yesterday... There was a blues festival in PDX and this guy said he was a blues singer. I was reading the cap beefheart bio & as he walked passed he looked at my book and it startled him and he walked on by...

[TheTinCanHitMan]

@GUTTERMOD that'd be cool, except he's dead sadly...

[fat8622]

@TheTinCanHitMan sorry, but not even the grave will keep great sir Don from being fast n boulbous

[skateboardlikeag6]

[JimmyPageMarley1]

[utenteeeee]

one of the best male voice that I've ever heard and he was also a genious...inimitable

[Rhymesmart1]

Love

[BassfaceJam]

Maybe...now just bear with me here...maybe Primus got some of their inspiration from Captain Beefheart...

[UndefinedMadrid]

@BassfaceJam

Claypool has stated his love for both Zappa and Captain Beefheart in the past

[AviatorAndyK]

is it just me or does that slide tone at the beginning remind anyone of late night by syd barrett? Its so beautifully weird, fuckin love this band, RIP don

[dreadedwheat26]

thunderbolts caught easily!

[weedsmokerweed]

fuckin aaaaaaaa

[MrDarkbloom]

I love this song... it scares me!

[multitwatt]

i love the relentless clockwork and horror-scene vocals

[gerebs1]

my favourite genius!!

[MattyMattThing]

i like how you picked up what i was intending when i freeze-framed this album frame which led to a picture of a guy who looks like that guy in the newspaper.

[knappbryan]

if they ever make infamous 2, they should use this song for their commercial

[duffman13045]

@knappbryan No, they shouldn't.

Great guitar tribute to the Captain on Redsquare33's channel, well worth a listen.

[sofalugger]

A TRUE AVANTE-Garde musician..years ahead of his time....`The World aint STABLE`.

.RIP DON..

[dickylobster]

R.I.P Captain.

[mikekadas]

Electricity - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band [Glendale, California] - 1967 - "AMG Pick. ...Van Vliet would later claim the label dropped them after hearing the song 'Electricity' and declaring it 'too negative.' " - Safe As Milk (Buddha Records)-1999.

[dale0k]

I never listened to Captain Beefheart, but with his death, have been checkin it out... love this. Have to say, it reminds me of a contemporary of his, Zappa. Hungry Freaks, daddy...

[goonyougoodthing]

@dale0k yeah i am the same though even with zappa and beefheart dead at least weve still got vai

[sherifdirty]

R.I.P Captain Beefheart , Even his death age is a cool number " 69 " :\

[DrMadrigal]

RIP Don Van Vliet, you will be missed

[RockNimbie]

I almost can't believe that he's gone(

R.I.P.

[Xipify]

Zappa started up Blue Thumb 'cause none of the numbly music moguls would record Captain Beefheart. Zappa damn sure recorded him. Captain Beefheart was brillant. Thanks for the music. I'll be mummering this tune and tripping out with my last breath. 'See the electricity. See the electricty.'

[Sixalienasa]

Sounds like Howlin Mad Murdoch!

So Long Dude.

[michelesaintthomas]

The Immortal 'Captain Beefheart', may you forever rock our soul!!!

[crownbeatsjack]

RIP. Absolutely bummed out.

[WorshipTheCreature]

Hats off to the Captain, truely inspirational and fantastic in every way. You will never be replaced Sah. x

Larga vida al rey de la sicodelia

TRULY SAD NEWS TODAY ON THE DEATH OF THE CAPTAIN......R.I.P.

[cognitionengine]

[bazmchat]

RIP Captain Beefheart

[rgdouglass]

To the one person who doesn't like this song - your therapist called, he doesn't want you on YouTube any longer.

[kricky71]

AWESOME BOOGERS!

[kiak12]

the bass in this song is just amazing.

[YourGoodForThat]

SPanky stay gold mothafucka

[Itsooz]

It's so psychedelic it's scary

[ralphcraddock]

saw the captain and the magic band

when they played london in the late

1960s,at a club called middle earth.

they were amazing.

[kiak12]

@ralphcraddock i wish i have being in there i just found them i think they are amazing.did they ever have mainstream succes they sound so amazing i cant image they were not famous.

[OrangeAlienStatus]

no dislikes lulz

[KECKOZI]

@OrangeAlienStatus damn....1 now.

[heatshot186]

Why are all of these beefheart song mixed all weird, it's not like this o. The Lp

[halfcab247]

best spanky part ever

[1994AlmostSkater]

Lol, it's like all the original fans died and got replaced with skaters

[karr017]

@1994AlmostSkater Ha, thats true

[sk8sk8sk8666]

@1994AlmostSkater It's a new wave of fans. If people are finding out Beefheart because of skatebaording, then so be it. Hell skateboarding introduced me to some of the greatest bands ever : Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rush and now Captain Beefheart will join their ranks.

[JimmyPage97]

@sk8sk8sk8666 imo its what you do with the music, not how your introduced to it that really ends up meaning anything.

[EMERlCA]

If you know of this song because of Stay Gold, good on you. But try picking up a vinyl once on your life & discovering something tangible, something you can hold in your hands & actually look at as opposed to having it easy to dispose of. Would make a lot of sense if you've never heard of Beefheart prior to watching Stay Gold. Which is cool if Spanky listens to it & skates to it, I will too. Right?

[6rings66]

i had no idea captain beefheart did spankys song i listened to this previous to stay gold

[SameSkateboarding]

@6rings66 Same man!

[JakevO8]

Kevin Long.

[sevenfoldrulez]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKYYYYYY­YYYYYYY STAY GOLD

[iHateEliKanMic]

[pletchersucks]

SPANKY! The video opened me up to some cool bands. Dead Meadow and Comets on Fire are sick too.

[mbwuncete]

STAY GOLD

[Lawlz0rz]

Fucking genius.

[theoriginalseed]

SPAAAAAAAANKYYYYYYY FUCK YEAH

[nancyl2]

The Name fits this "Electricity!!!" Feel the current running through your body. :-))) Fantastic!!!! <3 to YOU for sharing your Electricity with me also. Your sparks fly every word you speak and each tune that you share with me. <3<3<3 YOU ;-) BRILLIANT Tune. :-)))

[mljansson]
