[jaseins]

@ernbrach bread and circuses, where even the smart people give in.

BP....Butt Plugging for organic oil naturally...have a nice day

[MrCJBass]

Loved seeing these guys in SF back in the 1980's. My friend's brother was in the band. Still love this song and it lives on my playlists to this day.

[7Shorte3]

I bought this album (vinyl) when it hit TOWER RECORDS in the Late 80's... Hard to believe the age of this timeless CLASSIC!

[slagette]

Loved this band from very beginning. Shits all over the World view that yanks are stupid with no sense of irony. (Apologies for being English. Plus Frasier proves that anyway).Feeling twinges of Disposble Heroes of Hip-Hoprisy(bad speller?). And of course Dead Kennedys. I'm an athiest but bless them all for many hours of pleasusre.

[darenunlimited]

i loved these guys; helped to start opening my eyes further. caught them live in seattle in '90.

[92451721921892113]

patriotism and nationalism are for fascists

[jizquist]

i slaved away for 18 years and was cast aside because i "made to much"... now i have nothing, america embraces the whores and sluts... just watch tv. no wonder ther is a place called hell.. especially toddler and tiaras, hah train them young for an empty existence. what happend to patriotism? our usa became soft in the paST 10years. profile ANYONE from middle eastern descent!!!! leave the old ladies alone.

[roneugenius]

Am I the only one who recognizes the background synthesizer as a sample from Prince's Hot Thing? XD

[aikighost]

@4evernate28 Not at all mate, I recognize :) I think price would appreciate the message of this track though.

[jaseins]

@4evernate28 Nope. That's it. I searched to find this comment. If no one else said it, I was gonna.

[808pb]

No one gives a shit about stuff like this. Preaching to a tiny choir. Most people realize that though the US govt is extremely flawed, it is totally stupid to compare it to the Third Reich.

[butchieman]

you americans dont realize how brutal and creul the rest of the world is. I thanks god the day I arrived in the U.S.

[BiblesOnLine]

Talking to American politicians and the journalists is like taking to a wall, they are like Nazi, who sees nothing but himself.

[BiblesOnLine]

USA created more widows, more orphans, more homeless, and more tortures under the name of liberty and democracy than totalitarianism

[poxflaza]

remember nazi germany? or perhaps I need to remind you of the old communist china?

[mctrlsys]

Oh, I don't think ANY system has a monopoly on despair, pain, ignominy, terror, etc... but it's true that we're the main ones doing it right now.

[vooduguru]

Oh the irony in this video. "Let's make a video on the evils of capitalistic America, so we can sell more CD's to our fans"

[aikighost]

@vooduguru Dude Consolidated were one of those rare bands were the message was everything, that is why when they said everything they wanted to they split up never to reform.

[fknugly222]

we win again!

[djbethell]

America is a disease. It's cancerous and spreading to eat the host body.

[p97154]

Fuck NAY for America! Sorry to other assholes round the world, like the rest of us.

[Exous6666]

YAY for America!!!

anybody's loving homeland security?

[Herbmeister1]

Don't think so

[vicksbehrg]

Well, this seems more relevant after the 700 Billion bail out. Wall Street Number One.

[SPOON007a]

Its hard to find a band that or a song that say hey wake up and look around. I saw theses guys play in the 90s. They put on a great show! It was nice to go to a show and get something other than a hang over out of the whole thing.

[HongKongGeorge]

wear number 1

dont believe the lype

[kdawg860]

so is this a typical hipster vague anticapitalist video?

[waster125]

Sums it up pretty well.

[cosquan]

Not sure about the video.. but the song is nearly 20 yrs old.. I don' think the ideology or views in the song or video are indicative of hipsters alone...

[jjhartwell99]

Pretty much. I mean, it's not like this band is being paid via the barter system.

They have a point, but most of us still have to get up every day and earn money. Ugh.

[kdawg860]

their point is that capitalism and greed is ruining the country. they have no coherent logical argument. any time you try to debate an anticapitalist you realize he advocates poverty over wealth. he blames greed and freedom for society's problems and argues socialism (govt control) is the cure. the federal reserve creates business cycles, not capitalism. we are in a mess because of the govt and the solution is capitalism. work hard and make money. govt redistribution/bailout will ruin us all.

[sunshinecatalysis]

@kdawg860 hipsters? give me a break.

[ajarnfrankie]

This version is a remix...around this time(early 90s), Consolidated and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, from San Francisco, were in your face to the truth of the American sociopolitical landscape. Both used electronic based music to get their message across...what's interesting is that they were quite prophetic. I have seen both groups and own their CDs. Memories...I no longer reside in the US since it is #1 in almost all the wrong things. I cherish the good times I had there, forget the bad.

[39325dlee]

bla bla bla. i hate to sound like a broken record but if you don't like it, LEAVE. The truth is our nation has serious fucking flaws but we are number one, we are safe, we are mostly happy people.

I am a proud American. I don't agree with most of the politicians or the way the corrupt government runs the nation, but it could be worse. We can still fix it if we stay proud and united.

I love our people and our nation. American Pride.

[Darusdei]

Ahh... here the law is that our army is only to defend never to attack beyond our borders :)

[hursttool]

hey Lt.DangleRangler, I've been listening to these guys for close to 20 years ever since seeing them at the Glasshouse parties in San Francisco. Quit smoking the blunts bro and you might appreciate the message more and not think what those voices in the shower tell you. Just a thought.

[TheStrangeRanger]

>>America is the greatest fake country.. like you are all living in a early eighties pc sitcom. Gimme more consolidated those guys still rock my cap off. thx! What "fake country" do you suppose Consolidated was from usukdotnl?

[TheStrangeRanger]

This rox and I'm a fan but the statement at the beginning that "america number one" is especially in rock n roll is bullshit. It's mostly in fucking country "music" and fucking christian "music." Rock music, which is what this is, is among the only music that is counterculture. That statement is an oxymoron.

[usukdotnl]

America is the greatest fake country.. like you are all living in a early eighties pc sitcom. Gimme more consolidated those guys still rock my cap off. thx!

[grntcorlett]

where can i find the brutal equation vid ne one please

[crazyjitsu]

I see this country going down to 3rd world soon as of now we are 2nd world country in a

war that is doing nothing but making large

corperations Rich. surf with

out geting some funky Illness but at this rate there will be no surfing

[trouduc00]

HOT THING!

[CreateABetterWorld]

Goddess, this song is so good. We still don't have democracy, just two capitalist parties funded by the ruling elite.

[nagmashdriver]

Consolidated is very talented musically; too bad that they are left-wing nut jobs.

[Richardwinkel]

ya, thats right anybody who questions goverment is a left wing nut or a terrorist. You the terrorist and the nut.

[nagmashdriver]

Conservatives are always questioning government, including Republican Presidents and Congressmen. I don't see liberals doing the same to their own. A bit of a double-standard, yes???

Merry Christmas to you, Richard!

[TheStrangeRanger]

>>Conservatives are always questioning government

Wrong. Conservatives vote as they're told. Typically by some insane, hyper-religious organization like christianity.

[spiralmc]

damn, this vid makes me even more patriotic...i love USA!! america number 1!!!hell yeah!! america the great!!

[AlexisCapri]

Why do some Americans (usually those that aren't very inteligent) do this "number one" thing?

The only thing you're becoming number one at is the number one most hated country on Earth.

[spiralmc]

thank you!! u don't have to be "intelligent"..i suggest u come to america, take a look around and shut the hell up..lol...

[AlexisCapri]

I've been

It's shit.

[spiralmc]

o grow up....where'd u go?...New Jersey...lol..

anyways..to prove our country is the greatest, it is made up of foreigners, people of other countries who have searched for a better life and found it...that is why America #1. ppl have to stop hating and understand what our country has given the world...

[AlexisCapri]

yes, thank you for giving us the sky, trees, the English language, telephones, televisions, the world wide web, the computer, the jet engine and big macs.

Oh wait. The only one of those you gave the world is the big mac.

[elnegromatador]

Look up Vincent Cerf, dummy.

[AlexisCapri]

Look what are you number one at?

I researched it.

You're number one at: Rapes, Murders, Obesity, Terrorism sponsoring, Foreign Leader Assassinations, Pollutions. The only thing you don't seem to be number one at is on the Freedom index.

You are in fact, the third least-free democracy on Earth.

So eat a Big Mac.

You're number one at that at least.

[spiralmc]

thats weird. i don't see that when i walk around my city and i live in LA. All i see is ppl in nice cars making money. ppl creating ways to make money and surfur girls that u only see in magazines and tv. o, and about fat ppl..lol we got plenty of food..that aint such a bad thing..lmao

[mctrlsys]

You are boring. Shut up.

[spiralmc]

ehh, ppl always gonna hate when u're number one....my country has an obstacle to face at this moment in time....but my country has seen worse...we've been through way too much...were battle tested. it so sad to hear ppl from other countries hate us. Our country is made up of ppl from those countries

[elnegromatador]

Hypocrite. Your country used to terrorize and colonize the entire world for centuries. now grow a brain and see people as individuals, if you are smart enough to.

[elnegromatador]

Damn, I had the chance to kick your ass then.

[AlexisCapri]

Damn, you're too fat to kick anyone's arse, American.

[elnegromatador]

No I'm part of the 30% non-fat population. Sorry to debunk your narrow-minded stereotype.

[pakkala888]

Where can I find the Tool & Die video????

[dcogs55]

i remember ru 486... anyone else?

[12001200]

Nice work on the video. What Consolidated was saying in 1991 is still true today. And I hate to say it but will still probably be true in fifty years. Things have gotten much worse in terms of ceding control of the US government towards corporations and their special interests. On the positive side, we've got the internet now to expose, collect and share information. No longer is information only dispersed by the mass media and zines as it was in 91.

[TheStrangeRanger]

>>Things have gotten much worse in terms of ceding control of the US government towards corporations and their special interests. It's true. In fact it's so true that ppl should be worried about it. But they're too distracted by religion, patriotism and entertainment to care. What we've allowed to happen in the years since this video is deplorable. Things were much better when consolidated made this video.

[wow06]

speak the truth!! fight the NWO 911 was an inside job!!

[peopleslaughter]

I don't know. But it was definitely convenient and well used for the Patriot(anti-patriot) Act. Which might be a criminal(impeachable) offense (lying under oath) in connection with the States Attorney scandal because every president swears to uphold the constitution.

But I think the real issue, is why are we so worried about terrorists who killed 3,000 when cars kill 40,000 every year.

[montsetse]

The last 6 years Norway was determined to have the best quality of life.

USA dropped every year since Chuckle Nuts & Darth Cheney been in power..

Consolidated became big BIG in Belgium underground when I was bout 17-18 yo they even reached upperground (if that exists, - mainstream i mean) whit now you lick. Man every kid in the country new that song.

This band was so innovative, it's a shame that no one filled the enormous void.

This band proved that music is a universal language that unites all rational beings.

I loved them. now I'm 33 and sometimes I still play their music loud as hell.

[royalgala]

this is dangerous music. as good as pop music could be.

[scruzme13]

still a threatening and even more dangerous message today. Nazi Amerika could come for you...

[spoutnikfla]

it's what i call councious hiphop not the blingbling thing what nobrain kids are listening now in france or in your hell contry the USSA

[TallTrav]

I miss the days of Consolidated and their in-your-face take on the world we live in. Pity you had to be a black Marxist vegetarian lesbian to get back stage :P

[perpetualcitizen]

I used to love this band. Their first two albums were a lot of fun. This is from their first one "The Myth of Rock". They would sample all the fuming folks they would piss off during their tours when they took comments at the end of show and use their clips in their next sequential album. Brilliant! I never know this video existed. Thanks for posting.

[abroders]

my comments are too smart, they are removed. fuck you, youtube.

[seriousartspam1]

Hell yeah. Consolidated used to kick some serious heiney.

Thanks for posting this!

[SeppDietrich555]

AMERICA RULES!! So there! fuckers!!!!

[Azraelazitgetz]

Funny there's no Consolidated tag. More people should know about this band.

[nine0ne0ne]

good point, thanxs for the comment.i shall act on it

[Davidz72]

Brilliant!! We are the evil empire!!! Consolidated rules.

[WaveThemes]

Yet 30 million illegal alien here now, millions more trying to get in..... why don't they run out??? In fact why are you here? Take your liberal ass and run!!

[NoPawn]

What in the fuck did this have to do with the song?

[abroders]

he's watching you, it it said in the video.
