Minor Threat - Steppin' Stone

[casidyization]

i love this song

it reminds me of Th Cigarettes - you were so young

2 completely different punk rock genres

[fullopioid22]

Not to be a neurotic cunt, but this song is by the Monkees, you should amend your description to say "performed by..." Still, thanks for posting the song, one of my favorites!

[ecthoranis]

@fullopioid22 The Monkees did not write the song, neither were they the first to record it.

[fullopioid22]

@ecthoranis - fair enough, you're right. Nonetheless, my grammar is correct. And that was my point. That is all. Again, I thank you for posting the song,

[lps6194]

not gonna lie.... CM Punk sent me here.

[sharinganchidori100]

@lps6194 lol awesome

[804safety]

i remember being 13 listening to it slamming with all my 18/19 year old punks...thanks for the memory,im 35 & still love my hardcore/ punk tunes....cheers from canada

[jstupod808]

and the best one...

[Foxboy106]

13 ppl're steppin' stones

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

Got it...

[AngieOStar]

Dude!... memories!

[RevolverGuitarist]

sXe 'til death.

[krazyazzboxer]

As long it's consentual

[krazyazzboxer]

Nothing wrong with violent sex

[gunslingr100]

I wanna go straight edge man. but like the only thing thats bothering me is the no casual sex thing. I like casual sex. sex and violence man. still I need some input with this situation.

[alexrulessss]

@gunslingr100 heroin mmmmmm

[Laidleypunk12]

@gunslingr100 I think its the difference between, do you think Sex should be meaningful? Or is it just something fun? So yeah man, idk

[MrSkinnyBuh]

straight edge is gay.

[hengdogsmith]

theres a sex pistols video to the right if you feel like bragging about your exploits

[hengdogsmith]

i think people might be missing the point

[TheIllegalKind]

better than the sex pistols version and they dude are straight edge so even better

[WildChild80Style]

This brings back memories of parties at Black Market & carrying around our own keg mugs, the bigger the better.

[ArzamaHD]

This sounds better when I'm not a straight edge... but stoned...

[LilJokerMusic01]

<3

[Nithistle]

This song brings back memories of mosh pits and backyard parties :P

[Lodestar1977]

@2DRUNKTOOFUK Nah, if you claimed to be edge and where not following through, that is being a hypocrite. If you just like the sound and energy, and accept them being who they are, where is the harm?

[smj6emailcom]

real

fu@k it . Fun.

[smj6emailcom]

real



[lumenaughty]

One of the most rockin' cover songs ever.

[oLexxy1996]

<3333

[weeniePOOPpoop]

My mom dates a "Skip" who claims this song refers to him. True or not, that's pretty awesome.

[lumenaughty]

@weeniePOOPpoop The Skip they are talking about is Skip Groff, who was one of their producers (along side Ian) and he also mixed the Minor Threat EP.

[Darthvies]

@MattInflikted I assume that comment is intended to be ironic. Minor threat being a prominent straight edge band smoking a joint whilst listening to their music would not be common practice. Or you are indeed a massive retard. :)

[misguidedadolescent]

13 people don't love skip.

[Deshiznit411]

im straight edge and i never had another straight edge friend all my friends smoke and what not but im on sebbesucksbawlz on this one dude just shut up and let others do what thy like if thy want to smoke let them smoke if thy want to be skin heads le them be skinheads. now idk if i even whant to meat another straight edge kid.

[TheEvilelvis89]

People can be straight edge if they want, but I prefer to drink beer and smoke cigarettes whilst listening to punk rock. That's just the way I live my life..

[SuperLordBeast]

betcha didnt know this is an original by The monkees!!!!

[BarrioPunkRock]

just got this Cd for 10 bucks at a local record store.

[TheLeach96]

@BarrioPunkRock I didnt know you could still buy CDs...

[BarrioPunkRock]

@TheLeach96 yah there dieing out becuz now everyone uses mp3 files. i'd rather have a bunch of cd's then an ipod

[radioactivexkid]

i showed some chick this band, if she sees this, she should hit me up ;P

[Mergan66]

hell yeah i love smokin blunts to this shet!

[ZRN959]

I'm still trying to figure out how they did this....

[badreligion9494]

Straight edge originality-NO DRUGS, NO BOOZE, NO TOBACCO. The veganism/not wearing leather/no prescription meds/doctors came later.

[hurricane7sparkx]

I love Marijuana and Alcohol sometimes, but much respect to Edge. One of my best friends is.

[stephankaradja]

@hurricane7sparkx Yeah well I guess one of your friends is 14 then.

[hurricane7sparkx]

@stephankaradja Not really dude. Although he is 17.

[theexpliotedforlife]

@fastmatmurfy If you are going to rip on another band atleast get your spelling correct.

[KnighterNewb1]

First Minor Threat album v.s First Suicidal Tendencies album ??? ;o

[mrputo27]

Sorry but i love my weed, beer, and pussy.

[zilcherr]

@mrputo27 - don't be sorrry, i love my weed, cock, an pornz. :P

[mrputo27]

@zilcherr Bahaha Nice nice, keep it up lolol

[weRwednsdays]

what album is this?

[basketcasestudios]

not originally by this band.. it was by the monkees.

[raanelom]

nobody gives a shit about people behind computers talking about edge or non-edge or do we really?

[akuma6333]

The best punk over of this song. Fuck the Sex Pistols.

[boomroasted1012]

I myself am not straight edge but minor threat is my favorite band of all time. i just have a question and would love if somebody could give me an answer. In First 2 7"s, theres a bunch of songs about being straight edge but then whats the deal with "Bottled Violence"? btw that song is fucking sick

[MattInflikted]

@boomroasted1012 that song's meant to be sarcastic, kinda like saying you "drink the bottle" and start fighting for any stupid shit

[TheTimmaytimmay]

Vegan...another word for pussy. I promise.

[sk4nd4lpunk]

Every straight edger I've ever known eventually ougrows it!! Grow a set and have a beer!!

[communycat13]

Orgasm Song!!!! 

[papason4041]

triple X's can go fuck them selfes,  life is short, have a beer

[iloledyourcat]

@papason4041 being straight edge is a personal choice, if you can handle it, do it, if you cant, dont do it. now dont talk shit about things you dont know about. fuck man.

[50BurntIncenseSticks]

@iloledyourcat hes just probably pissed by the straightedgers that keep preaching and tell us to stop doing drugs. and being overly annoying.

[iloledyourcat]

@50BurntIncenseSticks yea man

[BarrioPunkRock]

MONKEES !

[ggallinrules]

i do drugs to minor threat, x.x.x can kiss my a.s.s

[gnomecommoner]

i'am 34 now and when i was 17 i used to drive around and bang this song...the windows on my 1979 toyota would rattle and shake...now in 2011.. the blunts gone and the bottle has been passed... i'm thinking about putting the X back on my hands

[cookmoore]

They've got good taste!

[Lodestar1977]

I have to do it so if it annoys any of you I appologise in advance.

Here goes.... *clears throat*

OI OI OI OI OI!!!

[blewblew24]

thumbs up

[yazatanana]

Have any of you even heard of The Monkees?...

It seems like no body even knows that this song is a cover, and if they do, they think it was originally done by the Sex Pistols. This song was originally done by The Monkees way back in 1966.

[greatestxgift]

@yazatanana Have any of you even heard of Paul Revere & The Raiders?...

It seems like you don't know The Monkees version was also a cover as it was originally recorded by Paul Revere & the Raiders. If you have no idea what you're talking about then please refrain from perpetuating misinformation on public forums.

[beefchoy]

bitchesbottles&blunts

[punk40oz323]

i love to drink too them hahahahahhhaha but i suport straight edge

[punk40oz323]

I Love Minor Threat :]]]] Chales Wish I Could Of Seen Them Play

[MattInflikted]

I LOVE LISTENING TO MINOR THREAT WHILE SMOKING A BIG FAT JOINT YEAAAAH

[6266Slayer]

@MattInflikted HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!!!­!!!!!!!!! ME TOO!!!!

[puppystomper324]

@MattInflikted minor threats straight edge lol

[Rastamaniak77]

@MattInflikted

[azazelcaos]

@MattInflikted ghghgh

[MattInflikted]

@puppystomper324 it was meant to be 

[wargear257]

@MattInflikted That totally contradicts with this bands beliefs haha

[weRwednsdays]

@MattInflikted fuck you! MINOR THREAT IS STREIGHT EDGE!!!!!!!!

[puppystomper324]

@weRwednsdays he was joking stupid

[weRwednsdays]

@puppystomper324 oh.... now i fell retarded lol

[weRwednsdays]

@MattInflikted it just pisses me off lol i dont know why

[MattInflikted]

@MattInflikted wow my stupid comment got a lot of likes hahahah

[1wertyuiop1wertyuiop]

@MattInflikted *sigh*

[MattInflikted]

@1wertyuiop1wertyuiop *youaresocool*

[fuzzycuddles]

@MattInflikted

drinkin and smoknin to MT for years. I alwasy wanted to rock a pit after a 5th of JD ;)

[catmanhunting]

minor threat wasn't racist: even for the (fake band) the monkees this was a universal protest song

[ryl0]

i still fucking love this punk rock

[flyinchipmunk5]

monkees did a much better song

[carbonfiberfan]

I mean lack of exercise my bad.

[carbonfiberfan]

I kinda dont get the straight edge thing. If you dont want to drink or do drugs thats actually awesome good for you but why are some straight edge dudes fat? If anything I thought they would be a group of super fit people? Shit food and exercise will do as much if not more damage than drugs or alchol.

[SebbeSucksBawlz]

why is there a straight edge debate on every minor threat video I watch? can we shut up and listen to them instead?

[JESSEALLEN77]

@SebbeSucksBawlz AMEN!!!

[Szaam]

I'm with route51. Casual sex was some extra little thing that was probably cooked up by some elitist edge kids.

[Laidleypunk12]

Look, who gives a fuck about straight edge? Yeah, Minor threat "invented" (for lack of a better word) straight edge. People just expanded on it, thats all that happened. So please for the love of god stop going about straight edge and just listen to the fucking song!

[yamunaperara]

I wish to thank you so much in your help in this matte busizz4me.info

[straightfacedfsu]

earth crisis was a great band fucktard. and if SE kids want to be vegan, let em. who gives a fuck.

[uktransplantedyank]

Minor Threat managed to pull off a really cool cover of an already cool Monkees song! Brilliant stuff!

[shaddowstorm]

nice quality

[DirtyUncleBrandon]

@shaddowstorm Its supposed to sound like that. Finish the damn song in full.

[faster123]

this new age straight edge is way out of hand.

[hollywoodraptor0016]

9 peopel fell over the steppin stone

[xopolis]

I love minor threat and I'm not straight edge, hate me if you want!

[qpiz22]

1 of the best bands ever..nazis fuck off this is punk...

[lukereiser]

I I I I

[deltafranklin]

sunny hills

[Samandmattpodcast]

I always thought this was the most awesome Monkees song ever, but that it needed to be covered with a more hardcore sound and punk tempo.

Can I say best Monkees cover ever?

[LoveShiaGDSN]

@Samandmattpodcast Pretty sure it was a Paul Revere and the Raiders song first.

[gimmegames108]

@LoveShiaGDSN

Yep - then covered by the Monkees, etc..

[creasesofhope]

Growing up around drugs, violence and alcohol, these guys were a breath of fresh air for a boy growing up in SD, CA. I loved the anger and sound of punk and oi, but was sick of the meat heads. These guys, like Youth Brigade and others of this genre, presented alternatives to the oftentimes moronic punk scene. Don't get me wrong, I love punk music, I just can't stand idiots in any genre of music.

[deadkennedys909]

@creasesofhope

Preachhh brotha Preachhh! the gigs down in SD 7 years ago were to much fun for their own good. haha

[creasesofhope]

@deadkennedys909 7 years ago...I'm talking about 28 years ago! and yes, the gigs were fun, even then!

[TheKaz197]

Skip we love you!

[LindenHarrisTv]

hardcore version of the sex pistols i am not your stepping stone, works really well actually

[PerrisPunk96]

i GOT AN IDEA

WHEN WE LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC WE SHOULD SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES AND ENJOY SOME STRAIGHT EDGE AWESOMENESS !!

[hartstyler]

you talk about veganism as if it's something bad-.-

fucking retarded monkey fucks

[zombifiedcomet]

The straight edge guys where i'm from are complete assholes. I've seen people at a party get the shit beat out of them just because they werent straight edge.

[centerrightpunk]

@Jignasty5

actually, it wasn't written by the monkees. it was written by two songwriters, and paul revere and the raiders played it first.

[JokesAsideUK]

if people still love this kind of music you should add us! =)

[TheDorkySquirrel]

Why the hell are guys arguing over stupid straight edge bull shit? So what if people believe in it big fucking deal. Who are you faggots to judge? Everyone is different so shut the hell up and enjoy the music.

[AnimeXShinn]

shit is Gay? W

[Greendub76]

It was a fucking song....and douchey straight-edges adopted it.

"This is not a set of rules, I'm not telling you what to do, all I'm saying is there are 3 things, that are like so important to the whole world that I don't happen to find much importance in, whether it's fucking, or whether it's playing golf, because of that, I feel, some in Minor Threat —Jeff Nelson in particular—took exception to what they saw as an imperious attitude on the song" -Ian McKaye-

Fucksticks

[alexthegirl666]

bla bla bla internet argument bollocks straight edge is bollocks so hushs ur silly mouths. LETS GET FUCKED UP ND PARTYYYY!!!! bla bla bla internet bla bla who the fuck cares. by the way your all wankers . so you dont drink and we do but please dont push it on me bla bla bla FUCK STRAIGHT EDGE!!!

[alexthegirl666]

bla bla bla internet argument bollocks straight edge is bollocks so hushs ur silly mouths. LETS GET FUCKED UP ND PARTYYYY!!!! bla bla bla internet bla bla who the fuck cares. by the way your all wankers

[alexthegirl666]

bla bla bla internet argument bollocks straight edge is bollocks so hushs ur silly mouths. LETS GET FUCKED UP ND PARTYYYY!!!! bla bla bla internet bla bla who the fuck cares

[blatzroadkill]

love this song and the why they did it much better than the original and sex pistols

[xXpallettownrivalsXx]

i think some ass holes missed the 'like' button

[stoprejectingmynames]

Is this a...a Monkees cover? That's awesome!

[vincecri91]

mannaggia cristo siiiiii!!!!!!

[luce67]

@KillTheConqueror you do mean the Monkees right?

[KillTheConqueror]

@luce67 Oh, i didn't know Sex Pistols were covering it. Thx for telling me.

[vincecri91]

@KillTheConqueror really it's of Paul Revere & the Raiders they were the first group to record it!

[ExpressHATE]

punks dead but im a zombie

[akusin]

aguante minor threat y aguante escabiar

[PETRAXZ]

Can you still be straight-edge if you took drugs but stopped?

[alexafish]

@PETRAXZ hahaha i dont see how thats possible

[jackylcale]

@PETRAXZ NO WAY DUDE! You' re polluted forever! Unless you give your heart to jesus, and your money to me....

or you could always get real, stop trying to live up to someone elses expectations, and love yourself.... choice is yours.

[Butzopower]

@jackylcale "and love yourself...", without being a narcissist of course.

[zomgnoez]

@PETRAXZ yes! 

[Marnie1818]

So Funny this use to be one of my favorite songs!!! I still love it!!!

[Dayberry]

Straight Edge is no drugs period

[AbsoluteApril]

not much better than this... one of the best Minor Threat songs IMO

[kingster911]

I like this even more than I thought I would. I've listened to a little bit of minor threat before, have been more into newer punk bands but in the past year started listening to descendents and adolescents a lot more so i figured i'd probably like this shit...didn't figure I'd love it!

[ohcheckoutmyhorse]

epic stuff

[swiftwisdom]

Superb:-)

[MrEua666]

I prefer the Jimi Hendrix, Sex Pistols, The Monkees and the Johnny Thunder version. But this version is cool to.

[sirshagswell]

The Monkees ha ha they are not even a real band

[INTERNETISREAL]

this cover is 30 years old

[VectorDEx215]

AND Its still badass

[TheBobbyLemon]

Minor threat is the best!

[PacManDreaming]

As much as I like the Monkees and The Sex Pistols, Minor Threat did the best version of this song, by far.

[oriebendertv]

no fuck you

[partsdad202]

I SAW THIS LIVE!!!!

[fufe9]

cool

[ultrasentai]

this song is awesome i have the cd minor threat rules.

[route51]

I think some of the younger generation got mixed up about str8edge. Never did Ian McKaye mention about eating or not eating meat have to do with str8 edge. Fuck that earth crisis(where are they now?) bullshit. Veganism is totally different from Straight edge. No lyrics from Minor Threat songs mentions about veganism. The band also never mention total abstinence from sex. Fuck Karl "bucktooth" Buechner & his hard line nonsense.

[jutywero]

@route51 Damn right. Buechner was a local skate rat, alright kid, and then he got a movement and a bunch of groupie f*cks hanging on every word with their bullsh*t Krishna beads, beating people up in the parking lots. Lost Horizon anyone? Lots of people got sick of the hardline shit in Syracuse back then.

[euronationvw]

@route51 "Don't smoke, don't drink, don't fuck" was the chant from Out of Step. Of course they advocated abstinence. Everything else you've said though... quite true.

[lifian1]

@route51 minor thret started straightedge to say that we arnt old enofe to do thouse things yet so we wont do them. fuck new straightedge keep your ideals to yourself.
