Fugazi - Shut The Door

[callowbastard11]

I like Fugazi and all but I saw this movie and I found them a tad pretentious.

[Tysblueax]

Like a finely tuned machine.

[BEATmyguest31]

nirvanas music yes fugazi wins KURTS MESSAGE & HIS STORY = INVINCIBLE

[chapman35]

Does anyone where that opening tune comes from in the first ten seconds of the clip before it cuts to Shut the Door?

[xatup4ever]

bass line is awsome, but somehow he's always apart...

[107613cw]

whaha, the people who are watching are really fun to watch!

[RestlessYr]

This is probably the best Fugazi song. Actually, this is probably the best song ever.

[DrSquidley]

15, but I listen to fugazi along with all the other great alternative stuff like Gang of four, my bloody valentine, pixies, wire, minutemen, etc. plus i get the meaning behind all of it too. its a shame also that the term punk has been corrupted by bands like green day and so on

[UltimateVenom]

@DrSquidley that's why post-punk is a much better term.

[GrungeRockabilly]

@UltimateVenom I'm gonna go ahead, be a genre nazi, and say that this is post-hardcore. You can find similarities between Fugazi, Nation of Ulysses and Rites of Spring, who were all D.C. Post-hardcore bands. Which legitimizes it as a genre (since several bands have a similar approach to hardcore).

[rainbowchakra90]

Am I the only one who finds this song like, hot?

[kalikovisionmaster]

see kids, this is what it looks like to care about something

[xTheOxx]

Punk's full potential: achieved.

[heavyminded09]

great video and great dvd. but is there any bigger buzz kill then when they cut in the middle of that build at the end of that song? hahaha

[BerserkerBarrage88]

lol! Ian and the other idiot should be banned from playing guitar.What a waste of two fine instruments.Talentless morons....

[LzrdKng9000]

@BerserkerBarrage88 ok, you're obviously trolling. so if you think that, what's the point of actually coming here and making a negative comment? It doesn't make you look cool.

[BerserkerBarrage88]

@LzrdKng9000 Why? to express my opinion.There is a difference between "trolling" (whatever the fuck that really is) and expressing opinion.

[LzrdKng9000]

@BerserkerBarrage88 you're expressing your opinion in the worst place possible. that's like being a republican at the democratic national convention. you wouldn't be in your element. so i mean finding a video where someone trash talks fugazi would be much more appropriate for you

[dbchase09]

the comparisons are a waste of time. the only post punk progressive hardcore band , pretensiousness aside, the phrase fits. who goes from "nice" to Noisy" as well. aint they aren't afraid of math.

[StraightPunkEdge93]

Man, I wish these guys could do just one show.

[Szymek4525]

Co to za gówno

[Justeatmytoast]

@Szymek4525 Wiesz, w zasadzie my, tutaj, mamy w dupie takie małe gówna jak ty

[JJaguar333]

Whoever says early emocore is crap and that making music without drugs, or that being sXe striagh -edge dosent work is a total fuckwit!! This video is testament to that.

[yYourFami1y]

How is he doing that at 4:17?

[Salger12]

@yYourFami1y Feedback when you point the guitar at the amp?

[MrAcidfree23]

@yYourFami1y amp cranked, head of guitar vibrating off the speaker cab, bending neck, messing with the switches on the guitar.

[GrungeRockabilly]

Sonic Youth-y. But Fugazi isn´t arty.

[tourettes84]

@GrungeRockabilly they kind of are tbh.

[GrungeRockabilly]

@tourettes84 Not compared to Sonic Youth :L

[caossoa]

@GrungeRockabilly sonic youth aint nothing compared to fugazi in my opinion

[GrungeRockabilly]

@caossoa they pretty much reinvented the guitar, but apples and oranges I suppose, even though they have similarities :)

[caossoa]

@GrungeRockabilly i invented the guitar, they both copied me. but i let ian have it.

[GrungeRockabilly]

@caossoa ... Thurston?

[mebemusic]

This song is bipolar insanity. I like bipolar insanity..

[UtBDan]

@ymp5000 you listened to crap when you were 13. By your own admission, you were 18 when you listened to this. give your daughter time.

And PS. Make her pick up an instrument, Dad.

[RXQME]

Damn this video is sooo badass

[flipside799]

The drum beat is just to damn good!

[erikscotthilger]

this performance is so amazing....great song, cool changes, cool lyrics, etc.....i just stare in awe.....so much emotion going on

[islandgurlvsocean]

damn,where the hell have I been?

[molozow08]

the song at the beginning is called "no surprise"

[wgilroy]

WOW! Dynamic!

[ChocoFuck93]

whats the name of the song at the beginning?

[batman2909]

That bass player is crazy.

[goblinob]

Why the fuck is bloodhound gang the first in the suggestions panel? doesnt youtube know that we are not listeners of shallow mindless talentless meaningless "music?"

[kazedesusama]

@goblinob I got House Of Pain?

[Labyrinthman]

Fugazi, you rule !

[maximilian333]

Whether or not your into it, you can't deny that this is highly-developed guitar artistry.

[kels0h]

I agree. I was just pointing out that "emo" is a trend now. But who cares? Let's just enjoy good music.

[Anirml]

Amazing prog rock =)

[dnadaltiva69]

32 sons of bitch!

[SOADownsnubs]

Oh my god.

[EmaJack99]

[businessucadumy]

I came.

[Therealguy78666]

ian mckaye simply is a genius...

[redslider10]

how do i convert this into mp3?

[moptop1316]

@redslider10 google youtube to mp3 itll be the first site that pops up in search

[audiodose]

greatest band ever. saw 5 of their shows between 92-97...they were the best 5 shows i've ever been to.

[Dietpill]

Fugazi > Nirvana

[royercrafter]

@Dietpill everything> nirvana

no seriously they suck

[manueldelsol12]

@royercrafter = hipster. Mathematics are easy on Youtube.

[buggaboom12]

Ian = prolific

[supmahBRUDDah]

@spiderjerusalem100 oh shut the fuck up with that shit it's not clever

[spiderjerusalem100]

30 people don't like Fugazi? i just can't understand that.

[IATIKa0tiC]

fugazi sucks Fugazi<Minor Threat

[securityinnumbers]

check out our brand of punk rock! we have 9 free songs on our reverbnation accout

[rixclipz]

the first time I saw this and it got to 7:03, my mouth dropped open and I laughed because it was just too perfect for me to handle

[chickpeasarerad]

@rixclipz You ruined the surprise! Well, not entirely, but still.

[caossoa]

first time i heard this song, i had to shut every source of light in my room turn the volume up and lay on the floor having an eargasm.

[jmlicari]

I love how well they interact with each other as musicians. This is some of the rawest music on the face of the earth.

[fullmetalfunk]

Anyone know the song at the very beginning? Would it be on the Instrument soundtrack?

[SP3flip]

@fullmetalfunk It's called "no surprise"



[fullmetalfunk]

@SP3flip THANK YOU!

I love you, this song is beautiful. I've not listened to anything off End Hits but I think I know the next album I might be getting.

[desconocidos27]

FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!

[metalcore929]

Brendan Canty for the fucking win

[enigmaologist]

Real punks. Not sellouts. How cool is that?

[mresplendent]

I love how Ian screws up in the beginning then shakes his head.

[f1i2s3c4h5e6r7]

@mresplendent When does he screw up?

[mresplendent]

@f1i2s3c4h5e6r7 At :31. He just makes a small mistake and shakes his head.

[fatnaken]

Highly stylized punk...

These guys were trying to take punk somewhere it hadn't been. Great musicianship as well. Totally underrated

[jeepjonesTJ]

Reminds me of the shows at Guelph U!

[TheWheels777]

Joe Lally is the glue that holds it all together

[MercurySyndrom]

Fugazi is the way bands should be

[outer432]

[sunchild90]

[ALVAROHCOI]

post hardcore es la vida! :D

[ktbaby077]

[thSubliminalCriminal]

@ktbaby077 they still do fucken biatch

[refuzed74]

reunion tour...............please. i need good music, to kick back into life

[w0nderb0ydp]

I've can't believe I've been listening to this song for 20 years, and I'm just now realizing what it's about....

[carrieluvv]

@w0nderb0ydp oh ? I wanna know what it means :)...( im not being a jerk here....i really am interested ....

I love hearing stuff about songs..

[50BurntIncenseSticks]

@w0nderb0ydp whats it about :D

[w0nderb0ydp]

@50BurntIncenseSticks ..... "i break the surface (of the skin with a needle) so i can breathe, i close my eyes (when the drug hits the system) so i can see, i tie my arms (tourniquet) to be free.... HAVE YOU EVER BEEN FREEEEE"... I'd have to say, it's about rigging up.

[TheFugazis]

i burn myself i am the fuel

[Regemiteable]

Most under rated band of all time, and that's a good thing!

[lafec3]

Why did i have to be an infant when this stuff was coming out?! ):

[b1llybrown]

army green cargo pants are the shit!

[ov3rcl0cked]

DC hardcore lives on

[6millionlies14]

@ov3rcl0cked only in your head 

[ov3rcl0cked]

@6millionlies14 Only in my head? Isn't that all that matters? I realize they left the hardcore scene for a reason, but really, Its good to see that theres still good things that came out of it.

[6millionlies14]

@ov3rcl0cked sure if you cant comprehend reality ,the scene is dead and so are you. the music lives on in a hand full of people nobody cares your time is up good bye

[ov3rcl0cked]

@6millionlies14 The scene is up sure, doesn't mean I'm dead. I dom't know why you feel so passionately to shoot me down. But thanks anyway.

[ymp5000]

These guys and Fudge Tunnel used to be my favorite two bands back in like 1991-92. Now im 38 and cant figure out why my 13 yea old daughter listens to crap.. kids

[punkmusicmetal]

@ymp5000 Find her good music from her generation. There is a lot of good music from this era, you just have to go out and find it.

[svmeco]

use to be.... and now your favorit bands are???

[ymp5000]

@svmeco Widespread Panic, Pink Floyd, Lead Zeppelin, The Band, Monte Montgomery, ect, ect. I am 38 now and my taste has changed a bit though I do pull my “tape” collection out from time to time.

[P0wergl1de]

@ymp5000 upload some fudge tunnel cause some punks ripped off my tape player and my tapes won't fit in the 'puter for some reason? f@#$ and now everythings grey.

[ymp5000]

@P0wergl1de The Complicated Futility of Ignorance was an awesome album!!! but I don’t have a MIDI interface to convert magnetic tape to digital

[tarabridegroom]

@ymp5000 I'm in the same boat with my 19 yrold daughter, she grew up with what I listened too but she was influenced by kids in school so now she listens to both the good ol punk from back in the day and the crap they play today. My boys on the other hand, great taste in music!

[smuck06]

@ymp5000 There's something in the water.

[Deango2]

@ymp5000 not just crap but wimpy weak music, where did the angst go?

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

@ymp5000 you were 18 in 1991, right? I'm sure your daughter will change a lot in the next 5 years - give her a chance! There's a lot more crap aimed at kids these days, try and introduce her to some good stuff that she could get into as a 13 year old girl...

[ymp5000]

@EtcEtcAndEtc Hell, I know that. Its just ironic that my parents hated a lot of the shit I used to listen to and now history is repeating its self. But I did get her into the Beastie Boys early in life and she does like some more eclectic stuff she picked up from her mother and I but come on, Jedward, Selena Gomez, and Parry Gripp? WTF?

[mrstef03]

@ymp5000 when i was 13 i had shitty taste in music, then when i turned 17 i started looking in to the backgrounds of many artist i liked... and this how i learned what good music is, eventually your daughter will find out what good music is! :)

[ymp5000]

@mrstef03 One can only hope

[Crusimian]

@ymp5000 I can sympathise having an 11 year old boy and being 48. It's a rollercoaster ride - when he digs something good but then comes home from school singing crap. I don't want to control his listening habits so I try to explain about "feeling " a band's musical motivation and hoping for the best. Re Fudge Tunnel, must dig them back out.

[XUsagixHinataX]

I hear wedding bells o.o ...... >.> THEY SOUND AMAZING♥ ;D

[TheCandidemusic]

is this not the greatest thing ever...... show that ric whos boss!

[TheCandidemusic]

is this not the greatest thing ever!!!!!!!! i want i big as bell hahaha

[MeaningCorrupted1]

Guaranteed that no Ric takes as much punishment as Guy's.

[projectno5]

@MeaningCorrupted1

have you seen any recent clips of guy with that ric. it now has no truss rod cover, strap buttons are held on with duct tape and i can only guess what the back must be like

[fffffcccckkkk]

@projectno5 hahaha no, I haven't, but that's so cool... most people wipe down their Ric with velvet cloth every night before going to bed, fuck it, beat the shit out of it. it is just wood.

[Jon0o0o]

actually this is classified as emo hardcore punk post modern metal country rap disco I believe. cmon people just listen to the @#$#in music

[rickfakkitup]

good country music

[Anirml]

Amazing Punk Prog!

[ghostofpol]

The name of the genre is Punk, Rock.

[halokiller27]

@ghostofpol subgenre post hardcore ;D

[jebakia]

Ring that fucking Liberty Bell!!!!!

[peterjussi]

@jebakia fuck i love the sound of that bell so much

[vinnielicious]

More Liberty Bell!

[mofetabionica]

I want this DVD!!!!!!!

[MeaningCorrupted1]

@mofetabionica Buy it from Dischord.

[WELLROSE1]

Would of loved to see this show !

[tucker441]

amazing feed back use. I love the bass player just standing around like "wtf?"

[stefanofocacci]

@tucker441 Much like the Who's John Entwhistle! Remember him playing almost still while Towshend and Daltrey were cavorting al ovver the place? :)

[stashews]

my eyes went ._. o_o  O_O as this played

[livershot]

They get an amazing dub atmosphere w/ such a minimal approach

[redslider10]

is there a mp3 version of this performance?

[619walker]

This is real i miss seeing Fugazi..

[alejandro15187]

goddamit, the performance of the century and it's cut short!!! 

[jfeuiebf]

is it emo?

[plasmapunk]

@jfeuiebf

This ain't no emo bullshit.

[Mattsass8]

@jfeuiebf no!

[Kidman0007]

@jfeuiebf

I believe this is Post-Hardcore.

From what I believe emo isnt really a genre its more of an attitude. These guys arnt emo they are just crazy.

[hulud99]

@Kidman0007 all that name-calling is crazy....

[congasious]

@jfeuiebf To be honest i think that fugazi was the first band that inspired the name/term emo for music. Their lyrics, the passion, the truth, the ambience through noise, the emotion. Nothing to do with the trend of the term emo 15-20 years after.

By the way, the above version of Shut the door is mind blowing!

[jfeuiebf]

@congasious yeah , that's what I meant, I remember ine the 90ties people in our local punk scene were listening to this and were calling it emo, I asked the question to test the reaction of the forum , lol

[kels0h]

@jfeuiebf if you think about it though. compared to punk music this does sound emo. but now the emo scene has been totally exaggerated. we've lost the touch for beauty now MOST artists whether it be visual or music are just doing whatever is trendy to make money.

[DrFonzo]

@kels0h it is emo in the fact that it has emotion, hell I guess everything is emo...for fuck sake.

[TheProletarius]

this song real fucks anything around it....

[HermanWaldorf]

saw them 5 times in Italy, I miss them a lot

[SpasmOfJoy]

Fucking amazing band.

[Chiro75]

They didn't use effects pedals. They plugged straight into the amp. They're creating those feedback effects by playing with the knobs on the amps and the guitars. By turning the volume down on one pickup and switching between them, they can create a lot of weird sounds. Crank your amp and play around until you figure it out.

[tsuneonyc]

@Chiro75 You would hear on their later recordings, especially off of Red Medicine, End Hits, and The Argument, that they would begin using effects pedals; but they would never use them live. I guess it potentially would remove all the intense experience while performing, or for some other reason I can't possibly think up. However, Guy had his own pedal board that he used for when he was on tour with Vic Chesnutt.

[vealshanker]

dont try to explain this or anything. just submerse yourself in GREATNESS! FUGAZI RULES!!!

[Lookmysteel]

This is the Freedom.

[slowenemies1]

@Eoinmoo4 His name is Guy Picciotto. I dig his lil foot dance...also...he's a GOD.

[culas25hc]

This is awesome!!!!

[Bcasey11]

so amazing

[danielfiction]

can anybody explain those synthesizer like tones in the feedback breakdown? where the hell are they coming from!?!?

[arifreeman]

@danielfiction

Probably a pitch shifting effect pedal that he is using to modulate the feedback.

[danielfiction]

@arifreeman i don't see any pitch FX pedals! they do this again in Joe #1. what!

[ZRN959]

@danielfiction I think it's a guitar tuner that makes pitch. I use that a lot.

[Anirml]

Awesome Prog/Punk =D

[Eoinmoo4]

haha at 2:00 the guitarist furthest from the cameras feet!

[WadadliAntigua]

@Eoinmoo4 === sometimes when I'm lost in what I'm playing onstage and I need to get myself back in position, I end up doing so in tune/rythym to the music...everything you do becomes involved....

[halfbreded]

that crowd too cool to dance or something?

[13KeY37]

This song is like a crazy combination of the Pixies with Minor Threat and other awesomeness 6 out of 5 stars.
