  • Is this ska?

  • @TooMuchL4g Not really, Goldfinger have Ska-ish songs, its more a pop punk effort, they are a ska band but this song not really

  • Jon Feldman is amazing....Funny they're singing this song on MTV when the song is about anti-establishment

  • @mlemons33 to be more specific, its anti MEAT.

  • @christoffeeer I didnt know that. My bad.

  • @andymc32 obviously your not awake.

  • goldfinger rules, but 2 words, Natural Selection

  • the best music of goldfinger!

  • Back when MTV played music...

  • They aren't that good live ):

  • Not sure if it's funny or depressing that the kids in the audience don't give 2 fucks about what this song is about

  • @poliotom Thats because no one really gives a fuck because its a stupid cause.

  • @andymc32

    oh, you

  • @andymc32 So you do like meat sausage? wanna eat some? for free man, no worries

  • @poliotom jaded?

  • @poliotom

    I'd say depressing.

  • @poliotom Definately depressing

  • @poliotom i would say it is both depressing and funny (as in strange). none of them cared, it was just another performance that they would stand up and cheer in.

  • @poliotom stfu and enjoy the song you deuche... and how do you know they dont care wut the song is about?... pretty sure if goldfinger was playing live an i was there i would be shoutting. not sitting thinking about the lyrics in the song...

  • So what if the singer is Vegitarian the members of the band Rise Against are vegies and they kick ass just liek Goldfinger does.

  • guy falls at the end then everyone else kinda jsut follows him into it intentionally lol jsut an observation

  • OH SHIT! you know this is hella old.... music on mtv?

  • Lol, Skipto the end and you will see the guitarist getting hit around the head accidently

  • @originaldeadman1190 dude , this was in 2002...

  • Just saw these guys live and they know how to rile up a crowd!!!

  • This is as punk as it gets for MTV kids. You'll never see it like this again !

  • the lead guitarist looks like Deryck from sum 42,just my opinion

  • yeah a bigger/older verison

  • Actually it's the other way around. He helped promote and product them

  • you mean Sum 41 right? :P

  • sum 42....... hahaha.....the goldfingers......are better though...hahaha....

  • lol sum 42.

    it's sum 41

  • there gd but sounds like there microfones r switched of or sumin :S

  • GO VEGAN MY FRIENDS !!! : D

  • I´m vegatarian, but that's not really the same I guess xD

  • no but you should totally go vegan i can help !

  • the crowd is singing 'open your eyes' with closed eyes in the blinding media and they don't get the message, just the hype

  • i downloaded this song and it felt good

  • why did you felt good?

  • Agree with you, but isn´t this song also about the useless killing of animals (I believe the singer is vegan)

  • Yes, the singer is vegan. I think the other members are too though.

  • When was this? anybody?

  • yeah yeah yeah this is my man :D

  • theyre more concerned about stage jumps than the music haha, goldinger for ever!

  • Love animals?

    THEN DON'T EAT THEM!!!

  • superman ate animals thats how he was so strong

  • Good point. I just typrd that becaue it says that on a Goldfinger cd I bought. hahaha lol. John Feldmann is vegan. Suck for him. :P

  • read a comic book good sir

  • i love this song....but they just sound a bit off here

  • hahah anti capitalism song played in between commercials on a network whose sole purpose is to sell advertising with cute lil performances like this, way to fight the power bros

  • haha spot on mate

  • Its an anti meat song actually

  • hurr hurr its an anti meat song and maybe just maybe bands could possibly use mass media to get their messages out there even if it slights mass media (see: anti flag) hurr hurr

  • wow something good was on mtv

  • ahhhhh the 90's good times

  • I don't think this was the 90s lol.

  • late 90's w/e its when good shit was on mtv lol

  • i had a feeling they wouldnt include the screaming section in the live version lol

  • That's because Bert McCracken isn't at the performance.

  • they mess up at like :11 or :12

  • guano apes is better

  • yea I like that guano apes song but goldfinger is 10x better overall

  • uhm... why was Goldfinger on MTV? just kinda curious

  • i love you goldfinger

  • wow...this sounds like crap goldfinger are good on cd not live

  • yeeaah... unfortunately you're right

  • in this instance yeah, but i saw them at Reading Festival this year and they were one of the best bands I saw all weekend. i guess you have your off-days as well as your on-days

  • not being serious on that pig comment.I think that its fair to say though that humans are just greedy fat bastards.Kill everything destroy green stuff and kill each other.

  • ok.DONT EAT PORK/PIG ANYMORE.LOOK INTO A PIGS EYES.ITS LIKE EATING DOG MAM!!

  • Dog is even better!

  • dog is better with some horse!

  • Does anyone else see the irony of them playing this on MTV? I'm going to choose to believe that they are fully aware of this and are making a point.

  • Awesome to see a kick ass band bringing an awesome song to the mtv crowd! They could've done a more 'PC' song, but they chose the 'in your face' awareness song and I think it's fucking FABULOUS! Too bad I gave up on MTV years ago...when they stopped playing music...I might've been introduced to this awesome band long ago. Well, at least I'm a fan now, after finding out about them on my own awhile back! Kudos to Goldfinger!

  • 0:59 - 1:03 how to make that voice?

  • its all computer processing live. i think.

  • its kool if John loves animals, when disconnection notice came out... i was really disapointed and they'll never be the same BUT hello destiny proved me wrong and i'm glad to see goldfinger being part of SideOneDummy. PS: i hate when they play on MTv

  • who cares! goldfinger r awesome. this song is awesome and the ending of this vid is hilarious! lol

  • Holy shit. He's wearing an animal liberation shirt. In an MTV studio. that is amazing. I am a happy happy person.

  • im suprised that MTV had them do this, the song is about not conforming and listening to the mass media haha. they'r a bunch of facists up there anyway.

  • NO ITS NOT if you know about gold finger and john feldman .... animal rights! hes a vegiterian and loves animals.. most of his songs are about animal rights!"

  • Actually, he isn't vegetarian. He and the rest of the band are all vegans; which is a far more in-depth and involved lifestyle choice than vegetarianism. They deserve the recognition for all they do, and what they bring to the masses who otherwise would have no idea.

  • whats a vegan.does that mean you eat meat but not all types?

  • Vegetarians don't eat meat at all. Vegans use absolutely NO animal biproducts, ever. No dairy, meat, leather, products testd on animals, anything that was made from, tested on, or somehow exploited an animals. They live a 100% cruelty free lifestyle.

  • hahaha!!!educate yourself.

  • vegan tagged guitar on MTV, made my day : )

  • holy shit fuck you camera man hold still , fagg ass mtv

  • Fair enough that this songs has a meaning, if you want to be influenced by it then do so. But to me it's just an awesome song by an awesome band and thats the main thing.

    A band's not gonna get fans by the meaning of their songs, their gonna get fans by the catchy chorus, verses and riffs.

  • sorry, but this is totally not true.

    good lyrics count as well, as a main thing to me and many others.

  • yeah i agree lyrics do count but i mean as long as they make sense the song will be good. stalker by goldfinger, about stalking, means pretty much nothing but lyrics make sense and is a good song.

  • This song is about animal rights, you fools. maybe do some research on the bands you listen to, and what their all about. they have a couple animal rights songs, and free kevin jonas is their song about kevin jonas whom is a guy who fought for animal rights and was arrested.

  • sorry to say that, but if you take the lyrics as they are, it's about advertisement, marketing and stuff, which ofc includes consumption awareness, including animal rights.

    so you're right, it's about animal rights, but it's also about general consumption behavior imho.

  • You're dumb, they are a part of PETA, and have a couple songs about animal rights.. stop being so stupid. why don't you type in free me goldfinger and hear them talk about how they wrote it bc of animal rights.

  • ofc they may have given this interview. watch the official video, think bout the lyrics, tell me it's only about animal rights. tell me it's not about smoking or relationship behavior, consumption in general.

    they would be sad watching as fight about that-and i am sorry if i offended you, that was not my intention. as i mentioned: it IS about animal rights, but not ONLY. and dont call other ppl fools because of that.if you can't see this point, grow up - and try starting to deal with criticism!

  • i dont see it as selling out..theyre spreading they're message to THE people who actually really need to listen to it..all these people blinded by money..wich in a certain way..we all are...n i think its about globalisation AND animal rights..

  • they go waaaay too crazy

  • first off, its the labels not the band that chooses the shows/stations they play, second, they recorded this when "Tell Me" was there single at the time, yet Feldy played Open Your eyes instead, kudos to john for sporting the animal liberation shirts on every show they appear on

  • wow. Mtv ? Many bands are 'spreading their message' in mtv nowdays.

  • goldfinger? on mtv?

    WTF!!!

    I never thought of them! u.u

  • Selling out?

    Why do you think they played this song on MTV?

    Anyone think its just a coincidence?

  • vegan is stupid lol but i dont care do as you please ill enjoy my hamburgers steaks hot dogs etc etc you can enjoy your toefood

  • good point. im no vegetarian but look at the other points to the song. truth in advertising etc. good song by a good band.

  • agreed. The song is really about the big name people forcing you to buy and sell to the highest bidder, and the money corruption. They played it on mtv for obvious reasons

  • great song/great band/great/

  • Did somebody on here really say this song is about globalisation? WOW. Congrats on completely missing the meaning. I'll give you a hint: John is a vegan and an animal rights activist.  Think slaughter houses...animals...meat industry...maybe even google some animal rights issues, then if you still don't get it...oh my god!

  • The sign on Johns Guitar is awesome!!

    GO VEGAN

    GO ALF

  • Ew, mtv?

  • Libertação Animal - animal liberation !!!!!!!

  • athough MTV does suck a nut Goldfinger could not sell out that easily so pookey STFu

  • LOL! I bet you are just your average lame person who listens to trendy music and thinks your the one who discovers it like its your own find just so you can say. "oh ive listened to them since forever man im soooooo not trendy"

  • Ha, no! Infact I listen to ska.

  • lol they are not sellouts -.-'

  • They aren't sellouts. Just because they're playing on MTV does not make them sellouts. If they have a message to spread, they have to spread it to the uninformed, not the choir -- One reason why they played this on MTV

  • What part of this song makes them sell outs?

  • If we look past your ignorance and read the lyrics it's about globalisation and the fact they are singing it on MTV adds to globalisation.

    "Selling out refers to the compromising of one's integrity, morality and principles in exchange for money, 'success' or other personal gain. It is commonly associated with attempts to increase mass appeal or acceptability to mainstream society."

    Now listen to the old albums and then you'll understand how they sold the fuck out

  • there trying to put a point across, what better way to do it that on something loads of people watch? there not selling out, there makeing sure there points are heard.

    also, a band needs money, in order to fund new equipment

  • how are they sellouts?

  • i agree that once you play on mtv, that usually means you've soldout. however i did like how they didnt try and appeal to the masses. he could ahve easily not jumped around and focused on signing. most people at home would be "like wow this sounds like shit" "why are they destroying their instruments?"

    so i guess they went about doing MTV in the best way possible...they fucked around basically :)

  • muito foda esse video0o0o0...

    =]

  • kkkkkkk

    legal

  • Goldfinger son un ejemplo!!!!!!!

  • this kicks ass

  • i love this song although I also love their ska-punk stuff.

  • rigtheous!

  • i can't believe my comment got seven negatives. seriously, this is goldfinger's absolute lowest point. i'm not even bagging on them, but i don't see how this can't be painful for anyone to watch. it's embarrassing on so many levels.

  • I agree with you! (Skanevedies) I love this band and this song is pretty good but it isn't the same! Goldfinger can do what they want though they rock!

  • What happened to their ska sound?

    Now they sound like Greenday knock-offs.

  • they never were all that ska, people just think that because superman was on the first Tony Hawk game. They have a few ska songs here and there, but they never were a ska band.

  • How ironic.

  • i think humans should stop killing other humans before they stop killing animals, whenever that day comes, then come talk to me about your precious cattle

  • With that said.... This band rocks :P Love this song and the message is very clear and meaningful :D

  • People how about everyone just sticks to their own beliefs? People will not stop eating meat. And people won't stop being vegetarians no matter what they are told. It's slightly humorous to see everyone getting mad at each other because they feel differently about something. If you believe people shouldn't eat meat, Then don't eat meat and don't push it on other people because other people have the same right to eat meat than to not eat meat. What is truely cruel is what Japanese do to doplhins.

  • you make no sense at all. If someone believes raping a girl is acceptable, doesn't mean we should accept it. Yeah, it just took me 5 seconds to destroy your argument.

  • i had sex with a dolphin.

  • me 2, but it never let me finish

  • goldfingers best song!

  • mmmmm a nice big juicy new york steak sounds really good

    i like goldfinger,but forget all that vegan vegetarian garbage,its rediculouse.

  • No, it's responsible. If you could spell four syllable words you would surely comprehend that.

  • Not their strongest, but still decent.

  • No-one's force-feeding you animal rights propaganda. In fact, you were most likely forcibly fed meat as an infant.

    If you were raised away from meat, and then discovered that people eat meat in your adult years, the first reaction would be "Fucking hell, you eat another animals FLESH?"

    Just like if you were raised away from religion and someone showed you the bible at age 21, you'd think it was a work of very uninteresting and unconvincing fiction.

  • its very nutritious to eat meat.. it provides alot of protein. We have been eating meat since the beginning of times. It is really tasty, meat is good.

    those who says otherwise can seriousley go cut their balls off. Since they dont know shit about wtf's going on in the world

  • What the fuck difference does it make how long people have eaten meat? Wrong is wrong, regardless of timescale.

    You ignore the cruelty animals face every day of their lives, or justify that cruelty by saying that meat is full of protein, conveniently ignoring the fact that there are sources of much more protein (such as soya or mycoprotein) that don't require that we kill another sentient being.

    And you call us ignorant, rattling out phrases like "meat is good" without any argument. (cont.)

  • (cont.) I'm not trying to convert you, I learnt long ago that people who don't care when all the evidence is there will never care.

    All I'm saying is that you need to allow yourself to question things. Why kill just because you always have?

    If you want to eat meat, just be aware that you are ordering the death of another living, thinking animal. It's not your life to decide, what gives you that right?

    It outweighs any question of taste. Is murder or rape OK is the criminal REALLY enjoys it?

  • its funny how ppl (probably like you) always try to acociate animal cruelty with slaughtering and the meat industry.

    Lets take the cow for instant.

    It gets to go free and eat grass n stuff untill it's getting to old to produce milk at a certain speed.

    Then, they put the animal to sleep before killing it, they dont skin them alive, cut of their feet and let pigs eat them alive.

    They live a life, wich they probably dont even understand, and then die (like we humans do).

  • Free-range cows get to go free, if you can call being kept in one field for its short life free. Even then it is still killed needlessly. They aren't getting too old to produce milk. They are biologically exhausted from being kept permanently pregnant in order to produce milk.

    But the wide majority of cows are factory farmed, kept in boxes without room to move and force-fed soya protein, the majority of which is turned into greenhouse gases, very little becoming meat protein. (cont.)

  • They have their horns cut off with bolt-cutters, sans anaesthetic. They are slit open and hung upside down to let the blood drain, often while still alive, or still pregnant from the last milk cycle.

    And that's just the cows. There are tons of important films like 'Meet Your Meat' that provide evidence, not just rhetoric, about the way slaughter IS cruel.

    And think, murder is wrong, isn't it? Well you've just acknowledged that these animals live life as we do. What makes that any better?

  • *cough,cough*

    go online & watch a video called "meet your meat." Then this will change your mind. You can also try "Goldfinger - Behind The Mask (Activism and Animal Rights)" on youtube. This video made me cry!!

  • On the contrary Avslutarn, the funny truth is that in fact meat can cause IMPOTENCE. It can raise a man's chances of getting impotence by 60% This is very funny!

    Since meat is very thick & filthy, it clogs the arteries & colons. Thus, this blocks the bloodflow. & then it especially blocks the bloodflow from reaching the testicles because of the small pathways for blood down there.

    4 those who don't know, IMPOTENCE means that it shrinks your penis. lol.

  • thats why us normal folks, just like vegans, need to keep what we eat in check. Balancing certain amino acids, and vitamins counter acts saturated fat and can clear your blood flow. so before you go and let peta make up your mind, think for yorself. PS. check up on peta's vp and president. one uses and animal based insuline and the other had a vein transplant from a MEAT pig.
