  • Let's see: Too many needless mentions of Los Saicos (call 'em "da REAL 1st evar punk band!!1" on THEIR videos, turds), someone claiming the Beatles made the "first punk song" (lol), some British-centric jackasses wanting to give credit to the British Invasion for everything..oh and for some fucking odd reason some idiot whining that Devo wasn't ahead of their time (they were though).

    There will never stop being things to hate about Youtube comments.

  • @xreddragonx PS No one gives a fuck about Peru, and no one from that country invented Protopunk, as much as you South American pissants would like to believe.

  • If I had a band, we'd play great shit like this. And early Beatles. Rock & roll...

  • @peepff54 Why don't you start one.

  • I now know what the sound of my own brain exploding would sound like.

    all hail the garage

  • Is there an instrumental version?

  • i wish i was fucking him

  • Little richard

  • Wow, I apologize for having always thought this was a Cramps song. This is a thousand times better, not taking anything away from The Cramps but god DAMN. This is killler

  • This song is tits!

  • Wine is red, poison is blue, this song is good!

  • Yeah great music haha. There is these new garage rock guys called The Electric Flamingos that have a few songs like this

  • 23 dislikes, cant believe it....get your ass off the Sonics page, and back to Tony Orlando.

  • Man, the meanest high of all time, reportedly perpetual poison, but worth the kick once

  • This actually reminds me of the Stooges. It has the same kind of "evil" atmosphere.

  • this is what influenced punk rock, and its not stupid or ignorant to say it. They were a big influence on the greatsest genre of all time.

  • fantástico!

  • fantástico!

  • punk music is the fail garage of the 70's

  • Comment removed

  • lots of very cool screaming & a nice cheesy,"ghostly" organ - this is fun music !!

  • This is Stooges as hell, what two amazing bands! 

  • @thommytaranto Nowt like The Stooges.

  • @Triplesod It's just the attitude man, the roots of punk.

  • @thommytaranto I'll go with that, mate!

  • lo mejor !!

  • 13th floor elevators

  • songs the cramps taught us...excellent

  • Excellent!

  • Sixties punk! o_O

  • The Sonics were brilliant, and their copycats (The Hives, Kinks, etc.) can't hold a candle to the pure rawness.

  • @BettyFordGalaxy how the hell did the kinks copy them, please

  • @BettyFordGalaxy If you think the Kinks are Sonics "copycats" you're either on crack or you know jack shit about the Kinks. That being said, this band is awesome.

  • Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • i'm ready for some strychnine!

    

  • FUCKIN' A !!!

  • First time, now, I've know of them. GREAT.

    Like Kinks.

  • i saw em live a few weeks ago...awesome!

  • @feelingslinky seriously? I'm so jealous!

  • UNA DE LAS MEJORES CANCIONES DE GARAGE PUNK QUE HAY.

  • Oh Yeah good old Garage Rock !!!!

  • Oh yeah I tried it, had to get my stomach pumped. " Note to self" no more of dat shit mon. :(

  • 0:37 looks like shot down :)

  • i'd have loved to see these guys live

  • @celeocanth They're still pretty much around. They don't travel much, but they play different events around the Seattle/Tacoma area to this day. I think only three of the five original members are still playing, though. Health reasons are why the other two don't play with them anymore. But they smoke it pretty good even in 2011!!!

  • Some people refer to garage rock as punk, but you know what's not punk? Being a twit and arguing about what's punk on YouTube.

  • @kennycreeper 100% hell yes to your statement

  • yip, thats a reeeaaal good one

  • che pezzo!!!! the sonics sono le fondamenta del rock. Essenziali.

  • sublime has an introduction that is very similar ... Influence?

  • @miguelsiano Who cares ? They aren't in their league

  • Who the fuck dislikes this?

  • @Meconstrue 19 people don't like strichnyne

  • LA MEJOR CANCION DE GARAGE DE LA HISTORIA

    

  • Proto punk!

  • Punk is shit, loaded with leftist political crap. Real psychedelia. I love Sonics since I've heard them on KFJC in the '80s.

  • Genres are stupid. This is great music, bottom line.

  • @taylorhippie yes you are 100% correct

  • squaretet garage rock existed in the '60s just because u dont know that doesnt mean its something else idiot

  • people were saying devo is ahead of their time i laughed and thought about the sonics

  • heavy..

  • wow i didn't know the version by The Fall was a cover, lyrics..everything seems so perfect "Fall", need to check out more of these guys

  • 20 people are total squares man. L7

  • Guy Ritchie turned me on to the Sonics. Thanks Guy!

  • A Little Richard influnced singer, piano player, Gerry Roslie. This is Rythum & Blues (R&B) you morons, ...The Sonics, from Tacoma WA. 1965

  • thumbs up if you are here because of "losing my edge" by lcd soundsystem.

  • @JohnnyCagePro

    totally...

    

  • Can I steal your quote FacelessK"?

  • A lot of great music happened in the fifties and sixities, but the prog and glam of the seventies almost killed that spirit dead. Fact.

    The younger generation here should realize that most of punk's attitude originated from these bands.

    But the older generation here should acknowledge that punk in the late seventies revived that spirit again. If it wasn't for punk/post-punk bands we (the youngsters) wouldn't have the influences to look back at and admire.

  • pretty british look

  • 19 folks like water and wine

  • 20 guys don't like the song, 20 lost ( not a great loss)

  • timeless

  • Punk is great, personally I see it as an extension/revival of British Invasion/60's garage. I'm afraid lots of people get so caught up in the image of punk (obnoxious clothing, no musical talent, bratty lyrics) that they automatically disregard the music. Most punk bands didn't project that sort of image anyway, they were just a response to the excesses of overblown 70's prog bands, and usually formed from a love of bands such as these. I can't see how a British Invasion fan couldn't like punk

  • Most badass and sexy song I ever heard. Bands today are so sexually tense, they need to listen to the Sonics!

  • Tacoma!

    bitches....

  • punk is a lie, its an attitude, its rock 'n' roll straight.

  • These guys really rock!

  • Lysergic Emanation for the Hallucination Generation lol

  • easy the coolest rawest band around then. Perfect

  • PLAY IT LIKE YA STOLE IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • the best song ever about suicide

  • @feckingtwot it's not about suicide, its about LSD

  • @gremlinslili Strychnine is rat poison

  • @feckingtwot yes, but there is a few quantity of strychnine in LSD

  • @gremlinslili that's pure urban legend

  • @800Amilla but it does not mean it's about suicide. "small doses of strychnine were once used in medications as a stimulant,"

  • This song is fucking awesome.

  • Ma xke.. xke quando sono fumato vi ascolto...... altro che bob marley :D:D:D:D:D::D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  • the Sonics freaking rock, so far ahead of their time! Can you imagine seeing them circa 1964-65 wow cutting edge.....

  • i love the keyboards in this song. not a big beetles fan, but seriously, why is this turning into a beetles debate?

  • wow nearly 40 years ago

  • wow you can hear who

    bono and u2 were influenced by,

    dont you think they are a real gone band

    just like the fab four, sting,oasis groovy music revolutionaries.

  • I LOVE THE BEGGINING

  • 60's garage not punk its just were punk comes from

  • @TheFacelessK Can I steal your quote?

  • @minledbett Fuck him. Go for it.

  • @TheFacelessK They called this Punk until the Sex Pistols came out. But then, even the Ramones fans didn't want to be associated with the word "Punk".

  • @Hister333 ya and ten years later they called the germs new wave so thats not saying much for "them" is it

  • @TheFacelessK Do you even know what the fuck you're talking about?

  • @xreddragonx more than you ,bye bye

  • the intro with the organ ,come from an horror movie?

  • what's the song of the intro whit organ?

  • Jewclops is an angry elf....

  • To all, The Sonics might have been the first punk band in the english parlant world, but the first punk band in the planet was LOS SAICOS in 1964, real punk as we know it !! Listen to DEMOLICION or SALVAJE by LOS SAICOS (Peru-Southamerica). They were way ahead of the rest etc by almost 12 years !!!!! WIKIPEDIA classifies them as protopunk which is bullshit, since they are real punk. The credits to the ones who deserve it, end of the story.

  • @rmvl2000

    sonics were still better! haha

    and thats the only thing that really matters!

  • @rmvl2000 not end of story -- you can't just look at soft surf punk and call it the 'first punk'... in my opinion the first punk song was helter skelter by the beatles.

  • @rmvl2000 If you are the first of your kind, or the only of your kind then you are definitely a prototype-hence protopunk- besides man, punk is more of a time period than anything at this point, some relic of 80s economic displacement and the rebellion against the yuppie. I wasnt alive in the 60s or 70s to say for sure, and neither were you, dont get too bent over it.

  • @rmvl2000 - Nothing against Los Saicos (love 'em!) but The Sonics recorded The Witch b/w Keep A-Knockin' in 1964 also. (November) Any idea what month Demolicion was recorded? Also Surfin Bird by The Trashmen was 1963. All these are amazing!

  • fuck that househusband lennon and rich boy mccartney money hungry pigs all you need is love hey blow me

  • Surf before surf and punk before punk. These guys fucking ROCK!

  • This band is a great treasure. They rock just as hard as Dick Dale, The Amboy Dukes, Lonnie Mack, etc. You get the idea.

  • @bobyoung53 You misunderstand my comments, I fucking love The Sonics. What I do not love is the troll shithead comments. And I actually dig some Neil Diamond too.

  • The Fall do a good cover that fall to bits nicely, lol.

  • @mountainenergei1 there is a god!

  • Greatest band ever along with the 13th floor elevators with Roky erickson!!! & they were b4 the wimpy ass beatles!!

  • @SmokinMo11 the beatles fuckin suck.

  • @Jewclops shut up you idiot

  • @louiecostello lol did i touch a nerve? y duz everyone get so butt hurt when i dont like the beatles, i mean come on... th beatles r fuckin awfull, i think life would be muuuuuch better if i never had to another shitty beatles song for the rest of my life.

  • @Jewclops mate you'll be touching the nerve at the end of my cock with the back of your throat in a second if you dont stop ragging on the fab four. woopwoop

  • @louiecostello lol why are beatles fans always so gay? is it because the beatles are gay? seriously dude, idk y u would want 2 put yur dick in a dude at all unless u were sum kinda faggot... O WAIT!!!! u like the beatles so u must b a faggot... faggot!

  • @Jewclops you're a dickhead. Most of these garage punk rock n roll bands of the mid 60's would never have come through if it weren't for the likes of The Beatles, the stones, the animals, the yardbirds... ...mostly British bands. Until then you were listening to sh1t like Bobby Vinton and The Singing Nun. LoL

  • @funkmasterjee dude i dont giv a fuck who listened to what or who the way for who, all i kno is the beatles are really fuckin lame, and the stone are really nothing special, the Sonics are awesome though, so why don't you go cry in a corner somewhere cause god forbid anyone doesn't like the beatles, fuck beatles fans are faggots.

  • @Jewclops yo, punk, you wanna rumble? id make a coin pouch out of your yank ball bag if it werent so obvious they aint dropped yet. me n funkmasterjee gonna come to your house and touch up your pets and wee on your plants

  • @louiecostello fuuuuck another faggot, get over it cock sucker not everyone likes the faggot ass beatles, this band is waaaaaaaay better than them, there are sooooo many old ass bands i would rather listen to than the lame ass beatles, and even then i would still rather listen to something more my generation, get over u old faggot, go suck yur boyfriends wrinkled old sack and cry about the beatles to him.

  • @Jewclops Jewclops! I can see that No Trend has really done wonders for you.

  • @sweetlegplaster My gay musical ass can play circles around any questionable genre that may arise. AND I love this song. AND I cover this song...AAAAND many others...AAAAAAAANNNND...I have balls the size of CHURCH BELLS.

  • @MrCannonfire hahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahh­aahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahha­hahah

    excuse me but ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaahahhahahahh

  • @sweetlegplaster lol indeed dude, so hows the new music comin along for u?

  • @Jewclops I think it's fair to say that it's not the fact you don't like them, but the fact you don't apreciate what the Beatles have done for modern music, they revolutionised rock music... it's OK not to like them but to not understand that is just ignorant and ridiculous... you need to get your head out of the clouds and stop talking like a prick...

  • @NudyBronque if the beatles werent around there would still be loud fast abnoxious music for me to get down on, the beatles arent the fuckin faggot ass jesus of music u kno (btw jesus lovers are total faggots too XD) y dont u get yur head out of the clouds and realise that the beatles are dead and they r never ever comming back and be greatfull for it cuz they were fucking afull!!! accept the fact that not everyone is gunna like the same stupid bullshit as yur cock sucking ass... faggot...

  • @Jewclops Yeah, probably, if the beatles wouldn't have done what they did somebody else would have... but, that doesn't change the fact that they did it, and therefore no matter how hard you try the Beatles will forever be britain's most celebrated band, due to their importance and their impact on modern pop and rock music... I don't want the Beatles to "come back" because 50% of them are dead (And I would hope they're more dignified than Guns 'n Roses) But, you're wrong to say they're dead...

  • @Jewclops For example, they've just re-released the Beatles albums in modern quality and people are still enjoying them and being influenced to write songs by them all over the world...

  • the loudest band ever... until the stooges came along.

  • 18 dislikes for no reason .... This song really kicks ass!

  • @MODELKR Because fuck you, that's why 18 people dislike this song.

    I happen to love The Sonics, but who the fuck are you? Why do you fucking care that people don't like something you like? Is your life so bereft of human contact that you cannot understand that people have different tastes, or are you just being a snarky internet cunt/keyboard warrior?

  • @passonno wow wowwwww...hey you little kid you have to try more to convince me! Who the fuck am I? Dont ask and dont be so rude on internet!

    i want some respect for this song and this band thats all.

  • @MODELKR Why do you want respect for someone else's art? Why can you not just enjoy it, and let others enjoy what they enjoy?

  • @passonno well said, man.  It's all a matter of personal taste.

  • @MODELKR Any1 that doesnt like The Sonics prolly Doesnt have any friends at all!! & the only taste that they have is in their mouths!!! The 13th floor elevaters kick major ass to!! Go t n'flix & check out the documentary on them.Its called "your gonna miss me" Smokin good!!! These guys were here 1st,so accept it & weep haters!! The sonics are touring.How awesome is that??

  • These song lyrics belong on a Stooges track.

  • fuck yea

  • Ever tried my ex-s meat loaf??This great Sonic song song tells it all.

  • Timeless stuff! This will sound as good 50 years from now as it does now and did when it was first recorded.

  • @tonyrob1945 Except that its not.

  • @tonyrob1945

    you can see you grew up boring...if you honestly think the beatles are better than this then you will NEVER understand REAL music. the beatles were the most boring band ever...i fucking hate pricks like you, type of person who " listens to a bit of everything, but you get no better than the beatles" develop a real opinion instead of being fed one, please...

  • This is dirty stuff. This is what Rock n' Roll is supposed to be!

  • fuck the beatles with their depressing pseudo-stoner music. this shit fucking rocks my world!

  • These guys had a really wild sound. Good fucking shit!

  • i love the sonics, thank you for this one!

  • This is a cover

  • @snatchhog Actually, nope. Written by the man, Jerry Roslie himself.

  • The Beatles were so much further ahead than these guys, because they figured out how to work interesting vocal melodies into songs with this much guitar energy.

  • @flightofthewalrus yeah technically they were ahead. but their songs' concepts were stuck in the "baby i love you" age.

  • these guys were so ahead of their time. just awesome rock n roll.

  • i love this proto-punk stuff.

  • this is The Animals on cocaine

  • @psychedelicbluesdiva haha, I do love the animals though!

  • @dude19288 Yeah I fucking lovesss myself some Animals too! Again, waaay better than the beatles.

  • fuck shit, this is music

  • Thats right! Sweater vests and pure grungy ass garage. Proto-Punk Barbarians in a world of candy-asses. Damn rock rocked. Remember?
