As much as it's argued that Devo is punk or not and whatnot, I don't care what anyone says, but this song is so punk rock. The attitude, aggressiveness, so fast, it just screams punk rock to me. Especially when it becomes slap your mammy, I mean honestly, what punk rocker is not gonna want to mosh and slam to that? That is almost amongst the lines of hardcore punk right there that part of the song when it becomes so fast and angry. I just think that this video, song shows the punk rock of them.
I actually enjoy the bad sound quality- you can hear the OHIO PUNK, man! It sounds like an old tape from the radio. Really glad to see this video, great antidote to some of the less satisfying later stuff. I'll dodge all the plastic hats flying at me from the die-hards- spent my formative years around the Akron/Kent scene a few years after this video was made.
All of these fantastic different styles of rock from back in the 70's collided into a head in 1987...and then a great bliss happened between 87' and 96...from 96 on? Mainstream has been a sheer disillusion of one off pop charts, and un-enthusiastic rock releases. Bring back vinyl? I Think SO!
@Comaura In my opinion, DEVo were the pionners of post-punk... even before punk itself existed. They're bloody fuckin' geniuses! And you're a very very lucky bastard, I've been waiting to see them live since the age of 8! (I'm 19). Best band ever!
I was in high school in the mid to late nineties and although I liked pearl jam, metallica, NIN, Alice in chains, Nirvana and a lot of other popular music at the time NOBODY listened to Devo and everyone thought they were a one hit wonder joke. I got one girl into them but nobody back then liked Devo or synth pop in general, I got made fun of a lot by my friends for listening to Oingo Boingo and Devo I'm not to fond of their new album except no place like home but I'm glad their back.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have seen them perform are we not men and freedom of choice both in their entirety and although I think even the albums which were considered to be their weaker albums : shout, total devo, and smooth noodle maps I think all three of those were better than there last but I'm glad other people enjoy it. I think the part that really gets to me is the brickwall compression used on there last album it adds too much distortion, for more info wiki the "volume wars"
@PigsOnTheWingpart2 I never hear about Oingo Boingo before, just heard their song "Little Girls", and they seem pretty fucked up... and it's exactly what I love about synthpop bands, they oughta completly crazy.
@radstuf Oingo Boingo never got too popular outside of L.A. But Their lead singer and song writer Danny Elfman became a major film composer scoring a slew of Tim Burton films including Edward Scissorhands, Batman, and Nightmare Before Christmas, he even sang the part of Jack Skellington on that one. I would suggest all of their albums but check out: Only a lad, Nothing To Fear, Good for Your Soul, Danny Elfman So-Lo, and Dead Man's party, first. Those are the most Radical. I like the rest also.
As a nerd that grew up in the 70's and 80's .... this was the first band I remember seeing that embraced being nerdy and made it cool. Thanks Devo for making me realize that 99% of the population is stupid.What part of the population is not having a lot of kids? Smart people. What's the future gonna be like?
Lotta morons running around that can't fix their own robots. But between like 1997 and 1999 things were good, huh? We were recognized, for a brief flicker in time. No pun intended.
This was to me the frenzy of all DEVO songs, the first time, around '78 long time ago, they went off absolutely, Block Head is another fav, the videos that went with the show would warp your mind never "mind" the acid these guy are, were, the shit to see back then, now? I gotta gut feeling they still got it.
brilliant memorys of this band ,,,i went to see them in liverpool at the liverpool empire , i think it was 1977 or 1978....ive still got a yellow 7 inch vynil of be stiff wow,,,
I saw Devo on tour for their first album in Edmonton Alberta Canada.... one of the most incredible shows I have ever seen!!! Profesional musicians and entertainers!!!
I love this band, I've bought about 11 or 12 of their albums. Some were vinyl, some cassettes, some CDs. This is my favorite Devo song. Their sound is years ahead of it's time on this track. It's 1978 but you would think it was 1983, if you didn't know better.

also i notice in this vid that those were the glorious times,when u didn´t need security personell for the first rows,fans showed respect.we had The Stranglers in Cologne at that time and some idiots thought it was fashionable to throw half-full beer cans on the stage,then Cornwell stepped to the front and said:"One more of this and we´ll stop playing."suddenly there were no more beer-cans flying.for obvious reasons i don´t watch Gaga for her"underwear",but for her piano&singing!
I thought I would add my 2 cents. I'm curious why nobody ever points out what seem to me to be obvious similarities between DEVO and Talking Heads. For one thing, DEVO's first album and Talking Heads' "Remain in LIght" were both produced by Eno. For another, both bands were extremely funky. Just listen to Satisfaction and then listen to Houses in Motion by Talking Heads if you don't believe me. They could have been separate tracks on the same album.
wow, I'm getting goosebumps from the nostalgia. Thinking about playing my vinyl Devo albums I borrowed from a friend... been 30 years.... time to return them? Nah!
It's all been redifined. I used to slam dance at CBGB in 1986 .... but that wasn't punk. Cromags .... Agnostic Front .... that was post punk. Hardcore.
Devo .... AT THE TIME was called new wave. Recognized recently along with bands like the Plasmatics as early punk.
Compare this to .... Ramones at the time. This was punk for smart people.
This year, 1978, everything still was PUNK. There wasn´t any difference between New Wave and Punk. Devo was Punk and later Popbands like Ultravox, The Jam, even The Police, too. The expression New Wave fully came around by mid/end 1979.
Magnificent version. Someone really should find the original tape of the whole French gig and remaster it for sale. It beats the hell out of 'Live 1980'.
After seeing this band on late nite TV in 1978, I got rid of my flannel/workboot get-up and started to explore the "next-wave" of music.I finally saw them live,and 30 yrs. later they still rule THANKS DEVO!!!!!
Devo was fantastic and surreal for those days, but they were not alone. T. Heads, PiL, Young Marble Giants, etc etc... Great time for music off the beaten path.
This band paved the way for anything even remotely considered alternative. Their combination of musical talent and vision are incredible. One of the few bands that sound as tight live as they do in the studio. Awesome!
In 1977 I went to a weekly showing of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the Key theater in Georgetown, Washington DC. Before the show they played clips from David Lynch's film "Eraser Head", with Devo's record "Are We Not Men" instead of the audio from from the film. During the scene where the gelatinous goo comes spewing out of the "squab" "Gut feeling" breaks loose on the audio, truly a memorable moment. Try this at home, I recommend you do drugs, to experience the full effect.
My favorite DEVO driving tune ever! Alan Myers is one of the most incredible drummers in history. DEVO has stood the test of time, they still reign supreme over Spud Boys, looking for that Real Tomato!! Thanks so much for posting this AWESOME video!
I challenged a local Seattle band to learn this song and cover it. It's not an easy song to play by any means. But this band has the skills to pull it off. I hope they do it.
This song has it all, great opening cords by Bob2, Jerry's wicked kick ass bass line, Mark raging on the keyboard, Alan beating the shit out of the drums and Bob1's sleazy guitar wailing.
great version!

Nah, they went as far as they could go with guitars and their synth-driven stuff was great...

So glad I saw them twice when they were in their prime, 1979 & 1983.

After seeing this band on late nite TV in 1978, I got rid of my flannel/workboot get-up and started to explore the "next-wave" of music.I finally saw them live,and 30 yrs. later they still rule THANKS DEVO!!!!!

One of, if not the most innovative bands ever. IT'S 1978 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! What was on the top 40,...Angel Aquarius??!!

Pretty close: Wings !!!
Devo was fantastic and surreal for those days, but they were not alone. T. Heads, PiL, Young Marble Giants, etc etc... Great time for music off the beaten path.

This band paved the way for anything even remotely considered alternative. Their combination of musical talent and vision are incredible. One of the few bands that sound as tight live as they do in the studio. Awesome!

In 1977 I went to a weekly showing of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the Key theater in Georgetown, Washington DC. Before the show they played clips from David Lynch's film "Eraser Head", with Devo's record "Are We Not Men" instead of the audio from from the film. During the scene where the gelatinous goo comes spewing out of the "squab" "Gut feeling" breaks loose on the audio, truly a memorable moment. Try this at home, I recommend you do drugs, to experience the full effect.

My favorite DEVO driving tune ever! Alan Myers is one of the most incredible drummers in history. DEVO has stood the test of time, they still reign supreme over Spud Boys, looking for that Real Tomato!! Thanks so much for posting this AWESOME video!

I challenged a local Seattle band to learn this song and cover it. It's not an easy song to play by any means. But this band has the skills to pull it off. I hope they do it.

It's hard to disagree with you there. I love this song.

I second that emotion!
This song has it all, great opening cords by Bob2, Jerry's wicked kick ass bass line, Mark raging on the keyboard, Alan beating the shit out of the drums and Bob1's sleazy guitar wailing.
