Hüsker Dü - "Real World"

[brendogg]

jason lee good times

[cagrostar]

raw life-stuff - love it

[pafpafinyourface]

Elvis Hitler did good things lol

[pafpafinyourface]

About the nazis and all that stuff you're talking about, i think that the band wouldn't read those kind of comments on their videos guys, they're musicians and they don't care about politic, it's just about a piece of good energy, that's all, forget your stupid focalisation on politic all the time, it's just ugly.

[Kraftysot]

Nazis lol They DID invent modern rocketry. Hell they even invented the first space suit...of course it took several dozen of my poor hebrew brethren to get it right. Who gives a shit and what does it have to do with Husker Du. I think this song is like a subtle hint to stop raging out over useless divisions. Out of the millions of men that died under the banner of facism, dont you think a few them prolly loved their wives, their kids, their pets, and rather have stayed home than fight?

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

First song I ever heard by Husker Du. 1983.

[804safety]

i agree,one of thier best,but real anarchy has nothing to do with violence...cheers from canada

[coollookylooky]

@804safety

Yeah, real anarchy as it existed in Liberia, in Somalia or Afghanistan. A wonderful utopia...

[taradead]

this guy is badass - definitely not "gay" in the derogatory sense

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

The very first song I ever heard by the mighty Husker Du.1982.

[sickpoola]

[sbsteven56]

[jbearden]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sickpoola]

uhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KreatureFeatures]

People don't do things like that in the real world at all.

[leeharveyosmosis]

I would kill to get the husker du guitar tone...pardon the dorkery.

[ffairlane57]

@leeharveyosmosis , what I remember from seeing them live was Bob Mould essentially bi-amped a Fender Twin Reverb into a Marshall head & 4x12 speaker cab, then added chorus & delay. The whole concept was a "wall of sound"....hearing it live was like a sonic Niagara Falls.

[dasvortex]

@ffairlane57 I got to see Husker Du also , I always wondered why he liked the Flying V guitar . It seeded silly somehow . The guy kicked ass all over that guitar however .

[meinLiebsterFeind]

@ffairlane57

wish i could afford a marshall jcm800 T__t

[dasvortex]

@leeharveyosmosis dorkery is what Husker Du was born from , never underestimate a pissed off dork , ha .

[17anthany]

bad ass sing from husker (2up/2down)

[DrOktober]

This gives me freaking goosebumps!!!! fantastic song from a fantastic band

[MrAlQ]

in my top five Husker songs

[187Blingy]

i used to love falling asleep to zen arcade as a teen....and doing lines to divide and conquer

[beelzabubba]

I think as time passes more and more folks will come to understand the importance of Husker Du's work..... pure angst propelled at just the right speed with just enough of a hook to make it memorable...... awesome

[ffairlane57]

They fell under the punk rock/hardcore umbrella but they were more unto themselves categorically.

[187Blingy]

@ffairlane57

That is one of the best explanations I've ever heard about Husker Du...good stuff

[spuffchops70]

@beelzabubba Aye, it's exactly the combination of angst & melody which makes them so special. I don't think any band has been able to nail this sensibility so effectively since their demise.

[ecatalan98]

Essential! Brilliant! This song kicks real ass!

[underpolka]

you're still the saaameeeee!!!

awesome as always, here's a comment!

[GEOpz838]

[Lookfishlamp]

[knumbskull42]

Hell YEAH !!!!! Been lookn and found it good damn post ....... anyone remember Blasting Concept another great PUNK comp.

[cornbreadjunkie]

YEah. That's how I ended up here. I was looking at my old LP's and wondering what's worth money.

Blasting Concept isn't. It's like 15 bucks.

[MrSpacecase35]

@cornbreadjunkie dude classic album great cover sst ruled then bro oh yeah early exodus release for those metal heads that think hardcore was for crazies

[carlos7217]

love to of seen em live......!!!

[crassisdead]

One of the best Husker Du song.

[here2often]

After twenty some odd years of listening of my tape of this song it's nice to hear the way it used to sound when the tape was new. Thx 4 posting.

[talissin]

Thanks to you to posted this man. I miss american punk hard core.

[ffairlane57]

It's got that "Reagan-era" feel to it.

[pele6922]

@ffairlane57 Glad that political era is over.He did a lifetime of damage.

[heroiniskindacool]

@pele6922 He did good things too, stop acting like liberals are the only ones capable of good.

This song isn't political at all either.

[pele6922]

@heroiniskindacool I didnt say it was. I was commenting about the Reagan era feel to the song. It was an era I grew up in. Who said I was a liberal? He did Good things too? WTF kinda excuse is that? So did the Nazis; Hitler loved his dog Blondie. If you want to defend Reagan, Id suggest another form a music. From Dead Kennedys to Reagan Youth, he's rightly slammed. Have some more heroin ok??

[mld9991]

@pele6922 "The Nazis did good things too"? Man you couldn't be more wrong. Check your history before you comment. Typical liberal...telling someone with a different point of view that they should listen another type of music.

[pele6922]

@mld9991 I didnt say Hitler did good things! Try reading the comments a little closer next time.

[mld9991]

@pele6922 Seriously?! "He did Good things too? WTF kinda excuse is that? So did the Nazis" That's your EXACT quote.

[pele6922]

@mld9991 maybe Enlgish isnt your first language and so I will forgive you. The commenter Heroin said Hitler did good things, not me. I was quoting him and asking him WTF? BUT some Nazis did good things like fighting against Hitlers plans and attempting to kill him. There were heroes on both sides on the war, not just the US. I think this is enough on this topic.

[mld9991]

@pele6922 Hey, if that helps you sleep at night, good luck with it.

[pele6922]

@mld9991 since its historical fact and therefore reality, it does. thanks.

[mld9991]

@pele6922 How does it feel to still be so clueless after all these years? Reagan was the best President of our lifetime. No one else even comes close. Not to mention that Reagan has absolutely nothing to do with Husker Du's music and I'm not sure why he was even brought into this conversation.

[pele6922]

@mld9991 Reagan dealt guns to Saddam, traded arms for hostages, fired air traffic controllers, ran up a huge debt, tried to take credit for the fall of Communism, failed to respond when 243 Marines were killed in 1983 but invaded Grenada the same week. The reason you dont know what he has to do with Husker Du is because you butted in to a conversation I was having with someone else. So pay attention or shut the fuck up? Has trickle down economics made it to you yet? Me either.

[mld9991]

@pele6922 I love pissing off you liberals. It's so easy! I didn't know YouTube comments were private conversations that weren't allowed to be "butted" into. You lefties claim to be so tolerant of everything and everyone but you're really only tolerant of people that agree with you totally. Reagan, along with Thatcher & Pope John Paul II WERE responsible for the fall of Communism...It's beyond the point of historic debate. He brought hope again to the US and got our economy roaring again.

[coollookylooky]

@mld9991

... and Reagan was extremely important in fueling the creative potential of US-Hardcore Punk. Ironically, Reagan has to be seen as an icon of Punk.

[willthebighead]

@mld9991 I'll butt into this one then. "You liberals" LOL. How about get over yourself? Hey everybody look at me I'm slightly more right wing than the average punk so let's tell everybody on Youtube and prove my intellectual superiority. This song is great, you're not.

[mld9991]

@willthebighead Try reading the thread before you reply. I wasn't the one who brought up politics. My point is this...Why does everything have to be political with some people? It's just a song. Relax.

[willthebighead]

@mld9991 No thanks, that's just a little bit too much free time for me. Continue in your efforts of getting over yourself while I'm busy.

[mld9991]

@pele6922 ...still not sure what Husker Du has to do with Reagan, but you liberals insist on making everything about politics.

[pele6922]

@mld9991 Ok let me tell you since you stumbled into a conversation:

FFairlane57 said this song has that Reagan era feel to it. 11 people voted up. I commented I was glad that era was over having lived through it and for all the reasons I wrote you. I like Husker Du and no not everything is political but right wingers are always so knee jerk reactionary. Are we done with this?

[grw87]

I'm gald I'm nt the only person who thinks this. God this song is catchy and raw!

[MEATST0RM]

Only person? That's what you think!

[6motion6]

Count me as another person who loves this song for its lyrics backed up by musical instrument s played in a frenzy. I lke this song today as much as I did when it first came out.

[grw87]

Brilliant lyrics, brilliant song. Shame no one makes good music anymore...

[MusicJew158]

Is it just me or was the bassist becoming more McCartneyesque as the years went on?

[migelang]

Vaya temazo! Big song!

[ajj4account]

Saw Bob Mould at the old 9:30 clubs in 1991 after Husker Du but before Suger(?).

I really would have loved to see the old Husker in concert but it was too late.

[butterworth34]

me too.gutted

[nosympathyskates]

thius was in blind videos, an old akting movie. i first heard of husker du there, but i had always been into hardcore

[nosympathyskates]
