Fear - New York's Alright If You Like Saxaphones

[HumanBlasphemy]

everyone should downvote these FSU fuckfaces, they've ruined so many good shows..

[JohnnyTubesock]

This video rock!!!!!!

[runtt01]

Lee Ving made comments off the top of his head simply to piss people off. There were no real politics to it. I'm gay and I LOVE Fear. Saw them twice.

[saintmothra]

Please remember, Lee Ving was a blues musician before he became a punk rocker.

@straightfacedfsu what about fsu

[saintmothra]

9 people do not like saxophones

[ManilaSyndicate]

"NEW YORK'S ALRIGHT IF YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL!"

( LOL )

Even the title's enough to make you laugh. Man, why can't we have a band like Fear even at least once a decade? Don't the Gods owe it to us?

[alpino22]

Was that Peter Allen and John Cryer during the intro?

[revorgo]

Or any game in Boston.

[jackal59]

I've always given Fear the benefit of the doubt and considered them to be consciously ironic posers rather than unintentionally ironic posers. They are good musicians, though; too bad their music was so ordinary.

[sixteenvalvehate]

The lyrics aint homophobic. People hear the word and jump to their guns

[klaramara]

@blackplauge213

Yeah well education does help against stupidity but you wouldn't know that would you?

Why don't you ask youreself why loosers like yourself and Lee Ving are so afraid of gays. Try to think of an awnser that goes beyond "because they're fucking faggots"

[Lobsterkin]

@klaramara Hearing "New York's all right if you're a homosexual" kind of made me think about this song, and I pretty much decided that it's there to make people uncomfortable, and to make homophobes look stupid. I reckon Lee Ving is the kind of guy who enjoys fucking with people, and I can't imagine that line being there for any other reason besides satire.

[blackplague213]

Fear have homophobic and misanthropic lyrics? No shit? I'm glad that college education is working things out for you. Now, why don't you fags go die.

[noScab]

@ReagansJellyBeans

Of course klaramara can't speak for everyone, but why are you telling her/him to fuck off? Anyone who listens to this band will figure out that they have homophobic and misanthropic lyrics. I used to like thist first album for the musik, but after listening to the songs a bit more carefully it dawned on me that they're shit. And please don't come tell me that it's cool not to be pc....

And has anyone heard the new Album? God that stuff is just soooo pathetic.

[klaramara]

Homophobic arseholes! Fuck them, antifacist punks hate fear.

[ReagansJellyBeans]

@klaramara you cant speak for everyone, fuck off

[thejoshwheeler]

If you don't like FEAR, fuck the fuck off, fucker.

[windysan]

I'd like to see Lee Ving kick the shit outta The Decemberists.

[LightningDonkey]

This is quite possible the worst piece of "music" I've ever heard. It's a mess.

[TheDobligator]

That was possibly the shittiest song I've ever heard. I hate to be so critical, but honestly, that was a ridiculous piece of music.

[LeLimeLine]

@TheDobligator Lol, you should hear some of the stuff I listen to.

[TheDobligator]

@LeLimeLine No. No I most definitely shouldn't.

[skiierkid94]

@TheDobligator its supposed to sound like shit, it reminds me of new york

[TheDobligator]

@skiierkid94 Really? So the writers of this song intended for it to sound terrible so as to strike an emotion within the listener? First off, there are better ways to do that than to make a song consistently sound bad. If the song is really just about how much New York sucks (seemingly so), then really it's a poor meaning altogether. Also, does that mean every song by FEAR is supposed to strike the same emotion within the listener?

[phism]

I'm talking about the dude with the mic afterwards. Shit was lame.

[canuckleful]

What's up that guys ass about fear?

[phism]

"Is Fear a rich man's pleasure?" Hey, looks like cunty bitches were calling themselves punks back in the day, too. I thought it was just my friends after they turned 25 or so.

[Hickalus]

@phism you're on acid

[Flammazine]

steven seagal is a punk rocker

[djdepaolo]

...or saxophones

[graveyardstomp]

you guys are all idiots. just watch the video.

[shiphigh]

You 'beat a guy down' for calling you gay. Thats pretty damn lame. If he called you a chair, would you have 'beat him down'? No. Youre putting the negative annotation on being gay. So its exactly what you said. And you even doubled it up with your little klahn member speech about 'whats normal'. Man, you must not get these guys at all. I dont need to learn to read, you need to not backpedal when someone tells you how stupid you are. "LOL".

[iamthelawiwon]

the lead singer was on the news the other day ....... he got caught sodmoizing a orange

[Jackoroth]

Melbourne's alright if you like GARDENS!

[nikto45]

the funny thing about this is that a lot of people actually thought that Lee Ving and the guys admitted to being gay. I remember me and some friends beat down a guy who said this back in 1987. He saw our FEAR shirts and tried to make us look bad in front of some girls by saying FEAR were admitted homos. We gave that guy a beat down right in front of Black Angus. LOL

[shiphigh]

@nikto45 so, open homo-phobia and gay bashing is exactly what the PUNX thing was all about?

you fucking loser.

[nikto45]

@shiphigh whatever retard. I never said that. learn to read. I bet you're a sweet little liberal. I bet you think homosexuality is normal and ok. Well, if it is so ok why don't you do it? I'm sick of you non gays saying that nothing is wrong with being a homosexual. But, you won't try it yourselves. hypocrites. Before you tell someone something is ok to do you should do it yourself first. You won't so shut up. goofball.

[shiphigh]

@nikto45 why wont you try 'shutting up' for yourself then if we're gonna play the finger point game?

Douchebag guys bragging about 'cool punx things i did one time'. Get a life, do something productive, loser.

Two people of the same sex bumpin uglies doesnt change my life at all, and all its doing for YOU is giving you something to feel tough about. Cutting your dick off would have the same effect, so try that out moron. Guess anything you want about me, wont make you any less lame, sorry dude.

[nikto45]

@shiphigh thanks for the letter idiot. Obviously I struck a chord. maybe you dig the homosexual thing but that doesn't mean everyone has to accept it. I remember when Lee Ving was kicked off KROQ and FEAR was banned from radio play because Ving made anti homo comments, etc. Anyone who liked FEAR were looked down upon. I never said I did a "cool punk thing". I did mention how me and friends were into FEAR in high school years back. Change your pad sweetie and loosen your bra.

[peedubify]

fun fact: fear was John Belushi's favorite band

[ShereKhan77]

@peedubify cool man.you never know what people on the screen really think.they sold out and damn near never open thier mouths.where did you hear this???

[BarrioPunkRock]

@peedubify how do you know this ?

[jlepire1962]

@peedubify NO. The Dead Boy's were, and I even saw him play drums with them.

[85mmonroe]

Drummer has LSD 25 on his shirt. I had a feeling these guys tripped.

[Flynnsox]

They should play this song when the Mets, Giants, Rangers and Knicks are in Philly. The crowd would go mental.

[stagi]

IM SURE THE HOST KNOWS ALL ABOUT FAGS, CHECK OUT THAT JACKET!

HE MUST A FAN OF NEW YORK. AND OF COURSE: SAXAPHONES.

[anabessie]

LA is more "man's town" than New York elist.

[mrnaji]

@anabessie no it's not, but then again the manly towns are those run down rust belt towns that no longer have the gumption that they had 100 years ago

[Demonaz420]

Riddler doesn't like saxophones :(

[StateTheSmash]

Lee Ving is GOD! Grampa can still belt it out!

[tsadavid4205000]

lee ving looks like a cross between johnny cash and bruce campbell from evil dead lol...

[TrueStonerArmy]

@tsadavid4205000 how stoned were you when you figured that one out?

[tsadavid4205000]

@TrueStonerArmy very stoned....but you cant tell me im wrong haha

[16erdfour0netwo]

Los Angeles is ok if you like Fags!

[domagojpunk]

@16erdfour0netwo no san fransisco is

[16erdfour0netwo]

@domagojpunk - LA is full of flamers, spoiled brats, assholes & pissed off Mexican and black gangs who shoot at each other back & forth for no appearant reason! LA sucks! I'm sorry if you're from LA but California in general sux!

[domagojpunk]

@16erdfour0netwo all of california is full of fags

[16erdfour0netwo]

@domagojpunk - Not everybody. I know a few people from Cali and they are chill. But yes, a lot of trannies, gays, and spoiled hollywood brats! Fuck em'

[broc138]

spit stix is no joke!! seriously, listen to these drums, compare to other fast punk drummers. there is a difference. the whole fucking band rules for that matter.

[fitzentgraf]

New York SUCKS COCK??!!!!!?? Faggot New York faggots!

[16erdfour0netwo]

@fitzentgraf - Better than LA! Fuck LA! I'm from neither, but NYC is pretty chill! LA is full of spoiled brats, flaming fags, transvestites, assholes & media trash in the affluent areas & pissed off gangs & drug heads in the poor areas! LA & much of Cali in general is a shit hole with much of Americas trash! I'm from Pa. so I'm from neither Cali or NY

[MrRiddler92]

@16erdfour0netwo wow well ya i have met plenty of assholes here in california!, but just like this song, you are generalizing a whole city & state, i was born in LA and grew up in orange county & i am nothing like that & there are good people here too!, NYC & LA both have good & bad, and i have met a lot of assholes from other states as well, so that is a stereotype thing to say, & i honestly think this song sucks!. That's what is wrong with america today to many ignorant & narrow minded people!

[16erdfour0netwo]

@MrRiddler92 - Of coarse their are good and bad all over, just like in Pittsburgh, the city I live near by. I find people more down to earth here than most of the country though. We still keep the "working man" spirit. It seems California has a problem with spoiled rich bitch assholes and is too liberal! It seems the women are like a "Paris Hilton/Kim K" (hot or no) attitude and men are either Mexican gangbangers/wannabees or pampered little fags with facials! Of coarse this is merely stereotype

[MrRiddler92]

@16erdfour0netwo -Ya i see what your saying, it kinda does lol, especially jr.high - college kids, but i have met even older adults who r just as bad haha

[MrRiddler92]

@16erdfour0netwo that is california people i am referring too

[16erdfour0netwo]

@MrRiddler92 - I know. I wasn't absolutely serious, but it seems Cali is like that. I just think it is weird how Ving, from LA would call New Yorkers "fags" and such! You know! That is like being from North Carolina and calling Californians "rednecks"

[Maska122]

@16erdfour0netwo VING IS FROM PHILLY

[16erdfour0netwo]

@Maska122 - Idk why I thought he was from LA

[Maska122]

@16erdfour0netwo actually they are form LA I though thy were from philly cause that song I dont care about you

[MichealZero1]

@Maska122 minneapolis ,mn

[TheGreatMochesemoe]

Haha this song is brilliant

[Soundgardener80]

why the fuck would Fear be a 'rich man's pleasure' how in any way is that comment relevant?

[UncleSlam81]

@Soundgardener80 because the host of New Wave Theater was a homo and was offended that Fear was playing on the show that night. He tried his best to insult Lee Ving by making some lame remarks which he figured were cheeky but failed in doing so.

[UncleSlam81]

@Soundgardener80 Not that being a homo is bad or nothin, it was just that Peter Ivers was an annoying asswipe and apparently some dude walkin around with a hammer one night felt the same way about him because he beat him to death. And then the great Chevy Chase took over his role as host of Jew Wave Theatre.

[Soundgardener80]

@UncleSlam81 bit of an overreaction though eh?

[UncleSlam81]

@Soundgardener80 very much so.

[mondocaneman]

where's the one when they played at SNL? they got thrown out.

[888anotherusername9]

"Ask me something I can answer."

[influience420]

fuk ya!!!

[ManOWHOREify]

I'm so gonna have my black metal/experimental band cover this we have a sax player its gonna be fucking cool. Fear fucking rules.

[PittsDick77]

@MrGLM1915 - Spit and Phillo quit 'cause Lee Ving was ripping them off n not paying them what they should have been paid for shows. He announced that he would have no problem rejoining Fear only if Phillo would rejoin too, 'cause he can't handle Lee's jerky attitude alone.

[MrGLM1915]

miss Derf wha happened to spit stix

[Hashplant47]

New York is a toilet that needs to be flushed, Ving got it right....LOL

[ObamalsAFailure]

RIP Derf

[waylonbloodskull666]

@Miscio94 thrash? nooooo this is hardcore punk dude, though i hear why youd say that, idk this is punk though

[Miscio94]

@waylonbloodskull666 Are you serious?

[jaimepaullamb]

new york's alright if you dig culture, have refined tastes, don't really care for shitty hardcore, and can cross the street by yourself. never got into fear (haha - their name kinda says it all). and, as far as west coast hardcore goes, i'd take black flag or dk over these guys anyday.

[80selectro]

@jaimepaullamb in other words, New York really is alright if you like saxophones?

[jaimepaullamb]

@80selectro well, yes. 

[TheAtomicLad1996]

@jaimepaullamb

The Germs beat em all!

[bigkat]

new yorks allright if youre a kike

[jaimepaullamb]

@bigkat racism (or, in this case, anti-semitism) is based on inorance and fear. just saying.

[K12999]

@bigkat whats a matter loser, you live in a nothing place, I bet you are jealous of new yorkers

[DavidFullam]

Oh man, I remember the SNL performance.

[Chizad1982]

@diabeticmonkey & @ZachsGayCat

When a host introduces a performing guest they "throw to them". When the nightly news dude introduces the weatherman he "throws to them."

That being said, after listening again, I'm fairly positive that he actually said:

"Where are those four faggots that were just here?"

[cooliovasquez]

@Chizad1982 its we are those four faggots he refers to

[MountMarcyNY]

is this their foray into Jazz?

[airsoftpup123]

and so is jamaica if you like homophobes

[IMAGYPSYMOTHERFUCKER]

i guarantee the 5 people that dislike this video are faggots

[thepunksnotdead101]

the lead lead singer looks like bill murry but great band

[digitalaether]

@thepunksnotdead101 hahahah I thought I was the only one seeing his resemblance to Bill Murray. I've mentioned it to people only for them to say they don't see it. But yeah, FEAR kicks ass.

[thepunksnotdead101]

@digitalaether yea its pretty funny so i love fear man i like alot of the 80's hardcore scene but yea so u ever scene american hardcore

[fuckyes68]

@digitalaether dude i always though the same thing! haha everytime i see lee ving im like "look at this bill murray lookin mother fucker!!" haha fear is good shit!

[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

FUCK> Spit Stix iz a fucking monster on drums!

This punds my ass off.

Boom Pop BoomBoom Pop!

[agubna]

@FunkyFellaDaBassist The drums are actually realllly simple/ They're just heavy and at a faster pace, but it's essentially the same thing over and over. I've been playing drums for a couple of months and I can play this song. Don't get me wrong, i'm not bashing it, it sounds awesome, it's just not as tough as it sounds. Just tiring lol.

[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

@agubna Yea I know man, but insimplicity lies the power! :D It's just wild :)

Peace man!

[ghoststar]

@FunkyFellaDaBassist wtf?



[FunkyFellaDaBassist]

Peter Ivers RIP...Lee's cool, I met him in Austin, he gets the joke, even if you don't

[FlapJackCoyote]

where are those four fags that were just here?

[core205]

I think he actually says "where are those four fags? it's just you."

[dogstar1967]

"ask me something I can answer" lee's a class act! Damn they were good!

[Chizad1982]

Actually, he said

"Where are those four fags you just threw to?"

[cooliovasquez]

@Chizad1982 he says we are those four faggots he refers to

[BamfFromLA]

@cooliovasquez Ahh I didn't see your post man

[BamfFromLA]

@Chizad1982 I believe what he says is "Where are those four fags he refers too?"

[ZachsGayCat]

@Chizad1982 I don't get it

[diabeticmonkey]

@Chizad1982 "Who are those four fags he refers to?"

Makes more sense.

[cooliovasquez]

@Chizad1982 nope

[thermomalous]

@grindyourmind1 "We're those four fags he refers to."

[ianrapien57]

I'm a saxophone player in new york- this song is soooo appropriate!

[mihailolukicslashfan]

[theZoftime]

@grindyourmind1 its hard to hear, but im 99% sure hes saying "where are those four fags he reffers to?"

[grindyourmind1]
