Subhumans ( Live In 1984 )

[lolitabrodeur]

This one of THE best old school Subhumans video I have ever seen! Props to the camera guy and/or the person who posted it!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[TheAxeMixa]

Dick lucas 30 years younger and he's still got the same haircut.

[74stigma]

5.46, the idiot who assualted the vocalist is a disgrace, damaged dick`s spectacles aswell.

[ghostfire562]

punk rock rules

[Braleven]

Wow... they had bouncers there? Fucking lame.

[Salvis66]

TROTSKY LIVES!

[scorhorse]

Great band, cool they're still on the road.saw them a few years back in Antwerp, great gig.

[rawxtir]

yup, definately olympic show but i think it's the 85 show with bad religion. i'm guessing by frank's hair (tall goldenvoicer who is trying to get kids off the stage). thanks a lot for posting, this was a great show. if this is 85 then after they performed, Dick got his classic leather stolen. The one with the big squatter symbol on it. sad.

[407greg]

[xthexTxvirusx]

i see they dont care about their crowd. i woulda told those bouncers to fuck off and eat shit on their union break

[DeadlyCreatures]

One of the best!

[mindwarp666]

This was the soundtrack of my early teens, I lived in a shitty provincial town in England not too dissimilar to Melksham in Wiltshire where the SubHumans were from and this was the kind of protest punk that touched a nerve with me. Trotsky the drummer was only 15 when he joined the band too, fucking A!!

[mondocaneman]

I was there.

I think this was at the Olympic Auditorium,downtown Los Angeles...pretty sure.

[scabjelly]

Kurt Cobain was Grunge of the 90s-This is Punk of the 80s

[TZukiMrAxlson]

@scabjelly So ?

[gasmaskboi19371945]

[awotnot]

[jerryskid1]

[staraco66]

saw them in 85 or 86 in Toronto, they still kick ass today and will always be one of my favourites

[D1rtyfr0g]

Kurt who ??? Lol

[FvckYourAmerica]

ehh bouncers <.< kinda lame

i love the subhumans though, good song

[montecarlo362]

pissed cunts damage equipment , get me pissed and i ll jump on stage and damage yours if there ain t s om e burly roadie discouraging .... it .... where is this ?

[dontdoityouidiot]

The 'stage invader' thing: If any of you know Pete The Roadie you'd know that no-one go's on Roadies stage without permission. Its the law.

[Dajcynk]

NiesⒶmowite Ⓐ dziś nie do pomyśleniⒶ. Dick zrzucony ze sceny Ⓐ zespół grⒶ dalej. GenialnⒶ grupa.

[H5N14U]

Parasites is a great song

[awsoni]

Posers Fuck you

[awsoni]

Fuck you

[csudebate]

I was at this show. Still one of the most memorable concerts I ever attended. I can't think of a btter combo than Subhumans and MDC.

[BraincageAZ]

@csudebate Operation Ivy and the Bad Brains

[RockstarRacc00n]

...Is that a security guy throwing off the stage invaders? What an odd thing for such a hardcore band... XD

[thejuryissleepless]

Yea it sucks when bands cant have control over their venues ive seen bands get pissed off at security at punk shows all the time! Oh well most of the people get away with whatever they want heheh

[RockstarRacc00n]

Actually, I looked it up. Apparently those guys are with the band: they didn't like people dancing on their stage, so those guys threw them off if they did. XD (I gotta admit, that can be annoying when people do that...)

[thejuryissleepless]

wow how did you look that up? thats hilarious! I totally agree - people can get fucking annoying when they fight and break gear onstage. But I guess I like the punk shows that the people respect the musicians enough to just steal the mic for a bit, dance a minute and dive off. This was def an exception cuz its SUBHUMANS and i know i got wild as shit when i saw them in 2006! I cant imagine '84!! damn CSUDEBATE ur a lucky punk

[bob733333]

nice quality

[MrChattyO]

The first UK hardcore punk band other than Discharge to blow my mind!!! I must admit though, Subhumans had more of an influence on me. Their artwork was exceptional!!!

[mpkpkm]

@MrChatty I don't know when they were a HXC band-for me it's anarchopunk....Nevermind....I still like'em....

[thatksigguy]

i see the guitarist smoking and all i can think of is the song ashtray dirt. kind of contradictory, isn't it?

[pw3uk]

It was the bloke before Dick who wrote Ashtray Dirt and I don't necessarily think that four people in a band have to share the same opinion. But that's my opinion :-)

[tommytowne]

fuck you straight edge bitches. you have no clue

[fattygoatshoulder]

dimebag dowell!

[GravesMetal]

darrell**

[RohNitro]

this is a piece of story

[volcanun]

the day the country died and ep/lp very good albums of sub humans!

[tullyscott]

5:48

[Bierduvel]

I hate how nowadays you can't even get on the fucking stage at all.

[Jason68iou1]

If fuckign idiots tthat bbraught guns to the shows like that guy who killed dimebag dowell....they ruined it for us

[oldschoolpunkchris]

it was dimebag darryl abbit from pantara he was with a band called damage plan at the time

[Afrosamurai532]

@Bierduvel ikr but to be honest american hardcore punk slam dancing and american hardcore is just better in general...

[ncktwnsnd]

@Bierduvel Not true,At underground punk shows people jump on stage all the time.Even when I went to see DRI it was a descent sized venue a lot of people were stage diving.

[MaestroInfernus]

@Bierduvel except at local venues

[amebix13]

This was at the Olympic Auditorium -MDC also played that night.....great show!!!

[Thrice13]

That would have been the most epic show ever. The MDC video footage online from that show is nuts!

[dirt013]

ONLY @ a Punk show could the lead singer get dragged off the stage and the band continues playing as if nothing is amiss! Great clip...always loved the SubHumans

[benjironboar]

ahahahahah....fucking right!

[charlesparenteau]

Subhumans forever= This song mean something...

[dolph452]

Your statement killed my night of punk revival. Cheers twat.

[punksnotdead543]

He sounds like Sid Vicious in the first song

[punkunite123]

love fuckin' subhumans!

stupid security people have to fuck it up ofcourse...

[HAstreetrat]

subhumans are supporting flux of pink indians at the islington acamedy in london on the 29th of november

The restarts and rubella ballet are also playing

not a gig to be missed

[mmorrell1]

I like how all the jocks get on stage and start doing Rastaman dances.  That's great. In a very subtle way, that's the ultimate compliment. Cobain never got that and shot himself.

[sombermike]

actually kurt cobain hated jocks, back in his early days he would stop the music to make sure all the jocks got kicked out.

[mmorrell1]

Who didn't Cobain hate, seriously? I've read three or four biographies on the guy, and he was very, very bitter, very, very pissed at pretty much every socio economic group that I can think of. He didn't belong in the 90s. In this respect he reminds of me of Apostle Paul--the eternal Outsider.

[SkateFluckit]

Kurt Cobain shouldn't even be talked about under the SubHumans video...

Kurt Cobain was a nobody in my book.

[anarkholic]

yessir.!

[sombermike]

agreed. grunge is good....but punk is better.

subhumans forever

[hckytwin]

@SkateFluckit Thank You ... Someone Has A Brain.

[sunreynyc]

@SkateFluckit Fuckin eh, thats right dude. Some bumblfuk thinker is being a genius talkin about that guy from a another band. No relevancy whatsoever!

[UTFRG]

@SkateFluckit Kurt kobain was a legend you bastard but it shouldent be talked about but still

[407greg]

@SkateFluckit Gregory Alexander

[AshPlissken]

@SkateFluckit Funny, I never heard of your book.

[TZukiMrAxlson]

@AshPlissken Me either!

[Braleven]

@AshPlissken Yeah, me either.

[sivadhunter]

@AshPlissken But em up X-Men style Plissken! (p.s. We're all pissed off at economic groups, that's what brings us together. Isn't that cute?)

[MaestroInfernus]

@SkateFluckit Im with you on that notion

[pattycat100567]

@SkateFluckit so true!!!

[NickNack00]

Wow look how young Dick is, great footage

[emannikcufecin]

Excellent.Thanks for posting.

[fetuss]

this is such a good live version of Human Error.

i kind of wish he had gotten all pitchy when he cries "WAAAR" o well, tho.

<3

[SteveResin]

Haha this footage is excellent, takes me right back to my youth. "Demolition War" is without doubt the greatest punk e.p ever released. Poor old Dick gretting dragged into the crowd, those skinheads really were the bumhole of rock n roll.

[1ntenseenergy]

haha at like 3:10 sum dude passes out into the crowd on the right sie of the screen

[Flagsdon]

"You've had too much to drink." -Holds up beer-

Seriously though, Subhumans are probably the most influential anarcho-punk band in the history of punk.

[mxer225]

Crass.

I love the Subhumans.

But, no, they can't hold a candle to Crass.

[123THETHING456]

fuck crass man, all they consist of are like 50 second songs of random power chords that dont even sound like a guitar. subhumans murder them

[george1punk2]

crass are crass mate

[Grant258123]

yeah tottaly

[Grant258123]

punks not dead and neither is subhumans

[jklasdfjdfksl]

i completely agree, i guess im just criticizing the culture of hedonism surrounding much of "punk" these days. i never meant to disrespect the subhumans and i am truly grateful for the efforts they have put into their political message that has enlightened many people through popular culture. i guess i just wish punk could progress towards more people like the subhumans, rather than street-fighter, bomb-throwing, hedonists who are not concerned with social organization.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

yeah, in places like the gaza strip or iraq there are little chances for social organization without a military wing, but we really have no need for that in the west. our social context is different and we have more of an opportunity to make a difference with less barriers to organization. im just ashamed that were not taking advantage of it. anarchism should not be devoid of any socialist ideals, it then becomes pointless social clique individualism that poses no threat to change society.

[CrustyElmo666]

Very well said, I'm with you!

[disnywhite1]

It is very refreshing to see a post on youtube from someone other than a dumbass Hot Topic Hardcore teen.I may not agree w/ all your politics,but you certainly have your head about you.People need to stop bitching about things they see as regressive and actually DO something.Cheers

[jklasdfjdfksl]

thanks, i appreciate it

[jklasdfjdfksl]

look at the thug bouncer at 5:48 punching the defenseless kid who pulled the singer into the crowd, what a load of garbage. bourgeois individualistic lifestyle "anarchism" give people the arbitrary right to do as they please without any sense of collective organization or responsibility; it should be called bourgeois liberalism, not anarchism. apparently those with the bouncers are the ones privileged enough to participate without receiving concussions. it seems punk was long dead in 1984.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

promotion of coherent goals and social organization to combat the overwhelming "freedom TO oppress" in our society is sorely needed; its disgusting to see the opposite happening. i feel the subhumans new album is seeking this direction. do not be scared of theory and organization people! dont limit your individuality to animal instinct and servicing your petty pleasures.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

look at the kind of energy and emotion that is brought out by this culture. why waste it on cheap thrills, drugs, and empty liquor bottles? apathy, no dedication to a coherent moral structure, and the corrupting disease that calls for temporary fixes and the celebrity "rock star" lifestyle is such a waste of this audience.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

im not saying the subhuans are like this; im just sick of people who call themselves "anarchists", but preach a lack of personal responsibility and moral commitment to social movements (the only way to effectuate any kind of meaningful change). incoherent and disorganized chaos is the only thing that can result by promoting individuality that has determined that humans are a lost cause, that they are going to save themselves and dream away into the stratosphere.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

if the underlying principle of a movement is that people can do what they want because it services their individual desires for pleasure, this can justify the individual who has taken it upon himself to use his capital reserves to own sweatshops and exploit starving people.... whos to tell this person what he can do with his individuality, he is the sovereign king of himself and anything connected to his efforts.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

we need to break out of the whiny, "woe is me" mental masturbation and begin to present challenges to the ruling elites; rather than hedonistic dreamworld play dens that fit perfectly well into the "wild-west" of pirate raiding capitalism.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

the individual right TO do something is inherent in capitalist philosophy; is justifies the "powdered wig" minority rule over the masses; their individuality cannot be held back by any kind of responsibility to society. unfortunately, most people do not have the luxury to run around and play homeless or escape from their daily drudgery into the ephemeral world of goblins, feasts, and wine.

[jklasdfjdfksl]

why limit your individuality to distracting your mind until you fade away? use it to contribute and pull us one step closer to a world where fiery rhetoric and chemical escape is not needed to deal with ordinary life. look at most of the US, they are all busy working, drinking, playing sexually, and not caring about anything but how they can service their own pleasure and save themselves; this is how democracy fails.

[zachnaustin2]

ya it fucking sucks. but i suppose its better than the shit you have to put up with today with the fucking baracade infront of the stage with a buch of fat ass fucking bouncers.

[RandomCatFilms]

[SUB][HUM][ANS] great band

[TheAnarchist33]

I love this band!!! The lyrics are so fucking true!

[zap2566]

does someone know where was this please ?

[beneaththepavement]

Thats in Los Angeles at the Olympic Auditorium it says above...how do i know? they're playing my shitty little local pub tomorrow. ha!

[zap2566]

[beneaththepavement]

[jacobcrocker]

Dont call em UK Subs!! lol or your just gonna confuse matters more!

SUBHUMANS

DECEMBER 14th

Inn On The Square

Barnstable Devon

And theres no question who the true Subhumans are!

[Dahgrostabphri]

it doesn't matter who had the name first, it's not like they were rival bands, one as from on one side of the ocean and one was on the other side of the ocean. the Canadian Sub's had some great tunes I still have incorrect thoughts on vinal...BUT and this is a big but, I have much more vinal from the UK Subs.

[leftyakaphil]

this band always bugged me becuz it seemed to me that canadas subhumans got thier name ripped off, but i wonder who really came first. if stealing someones name is no big deal then why don't they try calling themselves the UK Hells Angels and see how that goes over.

[GGAllinIsGod]

i've heard alot of people talk shit about them starting ska/punk but it's not that bad, i like old ska and i like old punk but combining them i thought would be shit but it's pretty good, the second song's bad as fuck too. and holy shit they must've played with bad religion in this same show cause the guy in the green tank's in an old bad religion set i got hahaha that's funny

[soynoise]

Damn... Thats in Los Angeles at the Olympic Auditorium and that was Big Frank punching the guy who grabbed the vocalist from Sub Humans...

[BuckNekkid2003]

COMPLETE CRAP

[sham64andahalf]

Yep, and your full of it now Piss off!

[1human]

if you didn't like it??? Then why did you waste the time to watch it

[leftyakaphil]

so when i talk shit about it, it will be from an informed point of view

[subadict246]

too bad you can't hear the bass well on no

[subadict246]

geant indeed my friend...

[pockets666]

Why the fucks Dick wearing a leather jacket?

[idiocyinbubbles]

it's most likely NOT real animal skin, yo.

[PunkSkaOi]

They make vegan leather.

[GGAllinIsGod]

vegan leather HAHAHA so you can look like you're wearing animal skin but to actually where it is a no no? hahaha sometimes being PC is too much.

[PunkSkaOi]

It's warm, and some people like the look of leather, but not the way it's produced. It's also cheaper.

[GGAllinIsGod]

so it's okay to look like you're wearing the dried dead skin of an animal but the real thing is bad?

[PunkSkaOi]

I didn't invent, I'm just explaining the concept.

[tivis30]

géant....!

[Hicks802]

thats very very good sub hum ans my generation!!

[frankolantern]

the horrors remind me alot of subhumans.

[disnywhite1]

One of the greatest punk guitarists of all time. This band fucking rules.

[sfdoomed]

There's always gotta be idiots trying to scream some nonsense into the microphone!

I heard the SUBHUMANS have a new LP coming out soon!

[david8883]

singing alongs part of the fun

[david8883]

but the dood who went ahhhh is a fuckin idiot

[bigtimerighton]

"but the dood who went ahhhh is a fuckin idiot" it's a punk rock concert you dick wad. stfu.

[david8883]

Ey, you know how i know you're a dickwayd? Cause you said stfu. It's my opinion to think he's a fucking idiot. He didn't do anything creative or interesting at all. SO FUCK you BIG TIME RIGHT ON.

[krainey]

I fuckin love the subhumans thanks for the posts

[emannikcufecin]

one of the first punk bands i got into,still listen to em today,and don't see that changing anytime soon.Great to see em way back when.Thanks!

[jamontoast]

hah reminds me of when som1 jumped on stage with sex pistols, jonny hit one in the face knocked him out n said get the fuck off my stage, classic!

[Anticrombie9986]

These guys are still a killer live band.

I can't wait 'till I can see them in Boston for the 4th time.

[SEYMORDICK]

Not to be confused with the BC band...This band was from the UK...Late to jump on the punk band wagon... Complete toilet listeming to them now.

[PCPreminger]

The vancouver punk seane was very influential across the world

[sham64andahalf]

"Human Error" mate

[ponch86]

[shemale88]

[Haz86]

[Mayhemdog]

Long Live The Subhumans ...most of you retards who have commented on this vid havent got a fucking clue end of!

Dick is the poet laureate for the punk scene

[CliveGotham]

any of you seen iggy pop?

[hgvneil]

brilliant and still going today

[nofx221984]

He has a powerfull voice. O_o

[lonewolfdb]

the term "skank" or "skanking" is not applicable... and 'lame' is as well not to be used in conversations about these guys. you all should bow down scrubs.

[ivybloodchoked]

that first song is fuckin lame!

[Bassedge]

You don't know what your talking about mate!! It was bands like this and gigs like that wich helped to shape modern punk, i think the whole thing is class and a good snap shot of the time.

[DoubleKDoubleK]

i agree

[fishbone3082]

Good old boys

[sludgeface]

Why isn't THIS out on DVD yet. This is great.

[jipke]

Haha great!
