i agree with most of these comments, alota ppl in the audience there that arent worthy. a freind of mine hates dead kennedys and foo fighters and always hates on me likeing their music claims to be hardcore metalhead..wait till i show him this!!
@samanosuke95 I will not shut up, dont get me wrong I like Foo Fighters and SOAD, but this is just bad, And I cant help but think that Jello Biafra wouldnt have censored himself like a little bitch like serj tankian did here.
@furnicaticaloasa 99 percent of that audience can kiss my old fat ass those fkers don't know REAL old school kennedies......i remember i used to skate to this D.R.I. and the dead milkmen ask them about that
@TheFreakyhawk It's all about context, it isn't racist in the context of the song. Dead Kennedy's satirically assumed the position of their intended targets in many songs, it's kind of their thing... Being the VMAs I assume this was televised, so he kept it clean for that reason.
pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot! pol pot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pol pot pol pot... my ass... 99% of the audience doesnt even know the sligthest bit about this mofo.... and its so sad to see soad with their cultural background sell out a song like this.
@thosch71 I used to think that too, but then it occurred to me that they're making fun of the audience to their faces. This song is about the audience, making fun of them, and they don't even realize it.
The dead kennedys own. foo fighters on the other hand are pretty shit and the fact that they are covering a song from a different genre (a better one) and a band that is better than them is shit. the foo fighters arent leeching of the dead kennedys because the dead kennedys werent popular which meant they were dignified and werent connected to vevo unlike foo fighters but they did ruin a good song for those who are hearing it now and i have no respect for this sellout band with girly singing.
to those who bitch about this being played to the "wrong crowd" - preaching to the choir is easy, pals. It's much more radical to go against the flow than to go with it... so, perhaps maybe, just maybe... someone actually heard this song from a Foo Fighters search and learned something they didn't know about before. This, from a 45 year old doosh who bought the original albums (ie:vinyl) *when they came out* but who also got to be that way from hearing a few punk songs on *ahem* AOR FM radio.
Serj is significantly less entertaining than Jello Biafra. And he dances like a bitch at a concert. He lost the points he gained for covering the song.
