[pbrskater26]

[shooter71]

I met Thomas and his Dad and his roady dude at a marshall roadshow in swansea, top fuckin guys and a good laugh, I think Thom messed about with some band idea's with that Furlong kid from the terminator film.

[budnickto]

@snoop0851 Awesome, what CDs? All I have is Bad 4 Good's Refugee.

[guitar0893]

3:48, sweet he sounds like Garth Algar.

[ILoveTheRain10]

Don't touch that your gonna ruin your guitar solo

[leighguitars]

I first saw these guys play live at Foundations Forum (a industry/artist music convention in Los Angeles). They were incredible!. People that saw the show were talking about it for days. Good times....

[brendonian]

DAYUM...These guys rocked... seriously.

[budnickto]

@brendonian You should check out the whole album. Just about every song is awesome!

[16moviefan]

the lead singer is jack spicer!!!!

[cyberhoodlum]

@16moviefan and Dave the Barbarian, and the Stoop Kid from Hey Arnold, and he is also Milo from Pepper Ann and Skeens from Recess, isn't he? He's done a lot of voice acting.

[pippahp]

I love xiaolin show down

[OcarinaSoulFlame2055]

its jack spicer!!!!

[cntrygrl1970]

I grew up going to the American Legion in Del City. On Saturday nights Bob Woods Band would play very good live country music. I remember Danny Cooksey coming up and cracking jokes and then sing "Old Chunk of Coal". he was very young, but very talented. He wasn't even big enough to dance so he would stand on your feet as you led a two-step dance around the floor.

[haloalldaylo]

Danny sounds great!

[Number1WuFan]

Bobby Budnick was the shit. Name a bad ass people ask I say Bobby Budnick. Awful Waffle!!!!

[aenimawb]

bobby budnick...salute your shorts

[jackbug333]

lol,where in a bandXDthat made me laugh,love you danny

[jnl690]

OMG i went out with a guy that looked EXACTLY like Budnick... Ser Feriously :O

[geniocame]

thomas is sooooo cuteeee ^_^ ^_^

[KirbyFanDude]

"We're in a band!" XD

[KirbyFanDude]

Oh my gosh, when I heard Danny Cooksey was vocals I thought "cool, he sings too?" but when he sings he sounds so manleh compared to his speaking voice, it's so WEIRD!

[Jackiechan39]

@KirbyFanDude He still has a band if you are interested. He's been in a band called Arbuckle since 2004.

[badtown88]

Holy shit Brooks Wackerman!

[Monica1C3]

That's a good point they made about the ENERGY the younger people/bands have that the older ones lose. They're right. Any older rockers who have that level of energy are perceived as younger or may be zinged as not acting our age. I keep my higher energy level and keep company with those who do with no regard to age. Excellent point! So many publicized rock groups today lack that energy and drive. Glad these pieces are preserved for another time.

[MetallicBill]

McRocklin is the protege I'd say, among them, but yeah, jealousy is hard to avoid watching and hearing them. I don't know why they would let trends stand in their way considering. Steve Vai's supporting you, keep at it!!! NEVER SURRENDER

[jtwidmer]

@MetallicBill Agreed. But Danny man, geeez that kid had a voice and half! They were all phenoms.

[ifiwasthedevil1891]

@MetallicBill Hells Yea man!

[starrdusted]

I had a crush on him too. Oh, back in the day. Haha.

[revick]

OKIES!

[RiosMyAngel7093]

Wow...I had such a crush on Danny during the 2nd season of Salute your shorts when he'd let his hair grow out more.

This band is really talented.

[lil80schick]

Haha me 2!!

[Headbanger142]

"I just cut one...."

We all have Danny. We all have.

[iownawii]

Steve Vai is win.

[cygnusXhaust]

Ha ha ha!!! 3:45

Don't eat that, you'll ruin you're dinner!!

[thesethingz]

wow, Danny turned out to be a little hottie... thanks for posting this budnickto.

[tiffanyproductionz]

Thats my big brother right there! Danny Allen Cooksey. Son of my daddy[Danny Ray Cooksey, RIP ily dad =[] and melody cooksey. Yep i love his music. We were born in OKC mann!

[SicSolution]

I always wondered what the hell happened to the kid in Salute Your Shorts, I think he does voice acting these days...

[CuntyMcTwat]

i will always be in love with Danny Cooksey

rawr

[jackerooskie]

salute your shorts!

[stellabotticelli]

I owned this on VHS! The guy at my local record store saved it for me and I've wondered for years how I lost it. This is great to see again!

[jfgme]

theres still a lot of good music coming out today, but only if your into metal( which i am!!!!) but every other genry in music right only has complete shit coming out for it, thank god i like metal!!!!

[nickcagefanclub08]

budnick. nice.

[virtr3uoso]

All Igot to say is thank goodness for crooked x. Today ppl think tweens playlist our filled with jonas bros. , hanah montana and what not. Kids should follow their own style and not feel so let down because most of their peers our into this processed repetitive and boring sound known as pop music.

[samson5791]

hey that lil kid is sam from different strokes.

[masterhaterj380]

bobby budnick

[CanItAlready]

And today we have... The Jonas Brothers. Can I vomit now?

Where are all the real teen musicians? The ones not owned by Disney.

[pippigladstone]

@CanItAlready same thing dude, sorry, nickelodeon star playing heavy metal in 1990 WAS LAME.

[pippigladstone]

he sounds like tiny tim "please suuur, can i go on tooah?"

[budnickto]

@pippigladstone You mean Oliver Twist? Either way, still funny.

[charlieonehorse]

aaahahahahaha donkey lips!

[skullvomit666]

I remember seeing their video on headbangers ball back around 1992. At the time I looked at it as a joke, but seeing them now they definitely had talent. It's a shame kids today don't have a clue what Rock music is about like these kids did back then.

[TommySalamy]

thanks old man

[BananaHurricane]

Yeah I agree. The last 10 years or so have been terrible for rock. We need a revival, get this emo and rap-metal shit out of here.

[Grapes428]

That peace shirt Danny has on, he wore in a couple episodes of Salute Your Shorts. Brooks is the drummer for Bad Religion now.  Their album came out in August of 92, Wikipedia has it wrong. And Danny mentioned Steve Vai in a couple episodes as well.

[carguymiami]

WHERE ARE THESE ROCKER GENIUS NOW!?!?

[budnickto]

Thomas is back in England still doing stuff (he's on YouTube too). Zack plays in Artificial Intellegence in SoCal with his brother. Brooks plays in a bunch of bands including Bad Religion. Danny still does voice-over work and is married with a kid in the L.A. area.

[dvirusd]

Saw Thomas at the Arena Heavy Metal BBC 1989 Pt 2 Documentary... So searched for him here. Found this video... Really great stuff. Why aren't parents producing kids like these any more.. I wonder. Anyways how do you know so much about these kids?

[budnickto]

Just thought they were a really great band so I tried to keep up with what they were doing when MySpace came around since they all had a presence on there.

[jtwidmer]

@budnickto Brooks is also going to be on Devin Townsends next projectl Deconstruction. Amazing.

[gvibes69]

@budnickto its amazing ho nobody of this four guys its in a good band today ! only Brooks have sucess! Maybe they started to young in drugs, and everthings go down

[frostytheaussie]

@carguymiami does Danny still have the mullet?

[Squaek]

@carguymiami some of them making some kind of pop, and one of these was the one who made the voice of the rich guy in tiny toons

[xgilxx]

Ok, isn't he lead singer one of the kids from the show Salute Your Shorts that used to be on Nick?

Secondly, how many of these kids do you think Steve Vai fingered?

[Superterrestrial]

BROOKS!!!! LOL!

[SmokesdaGanja]

just looking at this video brings back good memories, the early 90's were the shiznit. its too bad this band didn't meet mainstream success...

[KillerOfDolts]

This band kicked ass!

[xabier301]

funny electric kid

[Alicia6387]

[MaStormy]

[pippigladstone]

[ChicagoCubs1060]

bobby budnick was a pure badass at camp anawanna.

[Murderermarv]

[ECOOL76]

They were really good. Just the wrong time for a teenage metal band.

[djaudiorage66]

Brooks was pretty tall for a 15 year old. Great drummer, big fan of his projects.

[darkprince0126]

dude danny cooksey is my cousin im from because he mom is my aunt or something like that

[MovingToMontana]

Thomas now runs a recording studio and was last seen working in Sound Control, in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

[webmasterd]

DAM! 5 yrs old and shreading on guitar. I probably was finger painting at that age. haha

[Powermetal2]

Bobby Fucking Budnick is right! Whatever happened to that guy?

[mrearlstubbs]

[publicenemy1010]

STOOP KID'S AFRAID TO LEAVE HIS STOOP

[GlitterySpleen]

rofl XD

[jeetkunedobruce]

Thomas McLaughlin (McRocklin) was in a band called McRocklin after Bad 4 Good until 95 and has been in a band called Floating Point since then. Zack Young is in a band called A.I.

[jeetkunedobruce]

Why only 1 album through? Danny Cooksey has a band called Arbuckle now and I think he does cartoon and video game voice-over's.

[kicksex]

i used to have a picture of these dudes on my wall when i was a kid...never could find any of their cd's...i was into salute your shorts at the time...

[KiTcHeNwItCh76]

OMG!I remember Bad 4 Good in high school!They kicked ass!Salute your Shorts was such a funny show.I miss all the old Nickelodeon shows.Ren and Stimpy too!Thanks for the nostalgia!

[Faeriegirl4]

They were so hot! Don't worry, I was within their age bracket when they were a band. No Humbert Humberts here, man.

[jonaknt]

hahahhahahaha thats Brooks from Bad Religion!!!

[Faeriegirl4]

No, that's Brooks from Bad 4 Good!

[aligator123abc]

and he's in bad religion too

[Faeriegirl4]

Yeah, I know he's in Bad Religion too, but I first heard him in Bad 4 Good!

[MSFproductionsMAIN]

Terminate is such an Awsome Song. I Love how they pay Tribute to Arny & the Terminator Movies. You do realize Danny was the red headed kid who was John Connors friend in Terminator 2.

[UnklRudi]

[cubadickie]

this is great! im getting taght by thomases old guitar teacher billy brennan. thomas now works in a guitar shop in newcastle (4got wot its called, but it aint guitar guitar or sound control 4 any1 hu is interested lol)

[redbanger65]

For anyone old enough, Danny Cooksey was the little red headed kid on the sit-com "Different Strokes"!

[zmgriffith]

Good Catch.... AAAAAND he was "Budnik" on the Nickelodeon show "Salute Your Shorts."

Too too funny.

[Rooster666]

The show is called "Camp Anawana"

[zmgriffith]

Wrong. The camp WAS Anawana, but the show was most definitely "Salute Your Shorts."

/watch?v=ObCDkCTZHFE

[Rooster666]

My bad, brain fart.

[AlbanianMan]

Danny wore that same shirt on Salute Your Shorts

[fullshred69]

These kids kick ass...I mean Thomas Mcrocklin what can I say, start 'em early and they're bound to be virtousos, I mean he shreds better than most guys and his balls haven't even dropped. Amazing stuff!

[dodgycolin]

Thomas went to the same guitar teacher as me..a guy called Les Cheetham ..He is possibly the best guitarist that ever lived....

[bass247]

Too bad the singer annoys the hell out of me.

[kman5473]

it's friggin bobby budnick from salute your shorts

[Firefret30003]

With a name like Thomas Mc-ROCK-lin, you can tell he was born to rock!!!!

[vendettadrake]

OMG! I think I just peed on myself of exitement!

Danny Cooksey melts my panties!

I was definitely born in the wrong era. -_-

They're all my rock heroes.

[tleeg1974]

whoops...even zakk was awesome.

[tleeg1974]

these guys kicked ass....Brooks is an amazing drummer, saw him with suicidal tendencies, danny was a pretty kick ass singer too, and thomas mcrocklin....amazing guitar player, ever since i saw "the audience is listening" i always thought he was awesome....great album.

[queenstorm]

Danny Cooksey was also on a t.v sitcom "salute your shorts"that played on nikolodean. It's a shame the band did'nt fly b/c the album was great for a band of kid prodgies.

[Thomasmc79]

"haha those kids are pretty cool, i bet they will be cocky as hell when they get older though"

lol, no I deff ain't! I'm a chilled guy :p

Cheers, Thomas.
