Dead Milkmen - Oct. 26, 2008 - Bitchin' Camaro / VFW

[minutewalt]

Fantastic rant, but he seems like he's phoning it in when when the music starts. I love The DM, and will worship them forever, but Rod doesn't really get into "singing" until "VFW" (I guess a huge rant and "Bitchin' Camaro" are great warm-ups).

[MrSteredd]

Thirty years later these guys rock.... pathetically liberal... but punk all the way. Like Johnny Ramone.

[RGSG99]

I love how I can't read 1 comment on youtube without hearing the F-bomb.

[karp821]

funny and true...sad but true

[crackroksteady420]

made this vid into a mp3 for my phone hell yea

[sicviper]

The Dead Milkmen fucking rule and I love this video thank you for posting so assholes like me can add it to my favorites

[R5dizzle]

thanks so fucking much for sharing this epic awesomeness :D

[bsfilmsinc]

Well done :)

[MisterMcBraineater]

I was the 45,000th view. Bitchin'

[sideshobob65]

Bitch ass lib! Shut the fuck up and play your song.

[plaskett]

@sideshobob65 you do realize that this happened in the past...

[4stringHellBeast]

@sideshobob65 for writing the thing that only eats hippies, they sure turned into hippies as they got old

[soulismissing]

@sideshobob65 if you like the song...and you like the artist..then perhaps you should shut the fuck up yourself and respect the artist you enjoy...

[growaliens31]

@sideshobob65 You do realize they can't because Joe Jack broke a string and is replacing it...

[PaulQdotorg]

@sideshobob65 You clearly don't understand this band or their music; it's not just about the music, but you wouldn't understand that. I suggest you listen to music that isn't deeper than yourself.

[300Z31]

The death penalty DOES work. Have you ever heard of a person put to death coming back and killing again? Nope.

Either way, awesome video dude. Love the Milkmen.

[CreepyFreakFilms]

I love this speech. It sums up a lot of what I feel haha.

[alrokerbootyjam]

And that is exactly what punk rock is about, political awareness. Sadly it has been deluted over the years into a "sound". If it dosen't make me want to go out and riot, protest or at least vote then it isn't punk rock. But that is just my 3 cents...

[tyronejohn77]

I wonder if Chomsky is a Dead Milkmen fan. I think if he saw this he would be. Love you guys keep swinging.

[Dean812]

Annoying, self serving rant ftw.

[brainfoodlunch]

Awesome rant!

[battlemagenexus]

Rodney is my hero

[byan70]

you kids listen and learn

[stonedbassplayer9]

band members have a right to express their views, if shelbydondon's idea of a band is what evreyone today thinks then we have lost the definitiion of music

[s31337m]

Damn what's up with all the old people on youtube ;). I'm only 16, but I've loved the Milkmen since I was a little kid. My dad got these guys records back in college in the 80s. Thanks for showing me good music.

[pistoffpunk]

@s31337m whats w all the unhip people....your welcome

[ccccuuuutttt]

why do they call them the cleveland indians? fuck, there ain't no goddamn indians in cleveland . at least cincinnati is correct . lot of goddamn reds in ohio.

[pistoffpunk]

@ccccuuuutttt

[Riversleigh1]

loved you for years milkmen

[ziggy72170]

Although I dig Live Footage ,,, I wish someone would just Up-load the entire " Big Lizard in my Back yard " album......  Please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,someone ?????

[twisteddigit]

Sing the fucking song and STFU!

[shelbydondon]

@twisteddigit no crap! who needs another damn band with a fricken message. Your a band, Nobody cares what the hell you have to say play the one hit and shut the hell up!

[lildstryr]

@shelbydondon uhhhhhh, why are you watching Dead Milkmen videos if you don't like bands with messages? And if you dislike something...who cares? Just don't listen to it then.

[elmerslashp]

you're missing the point entirely.

[beka6669]

he talks FOREVERRRRRRR i just want to hear the song god damnit!!

[jskate05]

wow, f***** awsome!

[tombaldy]

oh my god its amazing to see that these guys are still touring and not all dead! what a bunch of legends, rip dave.

[EFTusa]

I'm 46 and the dead milkmen still kick ass

i had VFW put on my 25th birthday cake

the cake shop would not put it on so my

women did it for me

[insanityprof]

Dead Milkman was my Music while at High School.... Now living back in uk its great to see them still many years after i left school

[OolieBird]

sentiments worth echoing.

rise to action!

[smedleylt]

No matter how old I get (41), I hope I never never never never forget all that I learned from the punk rock I listened to during the 80's. (And yes, I'm passing on this wisdom to my children, ages 18 & 21)

[whatthegood1]

what about 16? =D

[pistoffpunk]

@smedleylt  im only 30

[Paneeks1960]

smedleylt

Thanks my friend, its nice to know that there are other people that have the same musical appreciation as I do,

Paneeks

[dorkrockcorkrod]

Joe Jack Talcum rules.

[sbogiam61]

Shut the fuck up and play allready.

[Copidat]

@sbogiam61

He broke a string.

He had to replace the string.

Then he probably had to TUNE that string.

Takes a bit of time.

[bongfodder]

hell he had time to burn one and have a beer while he was at it,oh yeah

[stogref]

_ Err, what's an open mind? _ Never mind, turn that Cristal Shit song up, dude! ;P

Gotta love the Dead Milkmen.

[PoisonAmber]

dick freckle :D

[Paneeks1960]

As far as I am concerned, this was the most underrated band in the history of music. Buy the CD "Beelzebubba" and listen to it from S to F and you will see exactly where every penny that you spent for this masterpiece went to! The D Milkmen are not only great musicians but they have a sense of humor and that my friends is the true combination of a classic band. Its like listening to Morrissey's music without an open mind, it wouldn't make sense. This is a great video, now my Favorite,

Rob/Boston

[pistoffpunk]

@Paneeks1960 i second that dude

[rudyinthe505]

Hey, where'd the hair go?

[blindlemonlipshitz]

this just inspired me, thanks rodney

[standxabovexthexcrow]

i wish i was there

that wold have been amazing

thats the best speech/improv ive ever heard

[noktrnlcrechur]

great intro  but if you aren't into it don't do it anymore. you guys are great. not were great. good times.

[999lionhearted]

This show was awesome - grew up listening to these guys both on viny & tape - brings back a lot of good memories - I forgot how freaking smart Rodney is - the man is right - it's time to make a difference!

[video91101]

If your store don't have no MOJO NIXON, then your store could sure use some fixin!!!

[mrserfin1]

che was an asshole? trying to unite latin america against getting exploited by america and all he can say is he was an asshole? he was a marxist not a communist, dumbfuck learn your shit. im sure if he was in charge he would have changed shit more than he aready did.

[jorgesgorges]

Well. he thought he was in exclusive possesion of the "truth", so much so it drove his little mind to commit murder. If that doesn't make you an asshole, then I don't what does. Che was just a man with political ambition, only just not as much ambition as your other hero Fidel. We are just pawns in all their games. Bush=Che=Stalin=Mao=etc etc

they are all the same

[lildstryr]

@mrserfin1 Can you explain how different Marxism and communism are? Because last I looked, Marxism was...a form of communism...

[LordWhorfinX]

this guy is just another reason i gave up on punk.. "punk" says be yourself, rebel and fight...

now its all the same. they just preach, just like the rest...so fuck you you punk bands, you officially all sold out....

[LordWhorfinX]

yes, pray away the gay..lol.

[plaskett]

You are welcome.

I'm glad I caught it.

[peacefulb0]

f**kin' precious. thanks.

[fuckface864]

and who was coverin bass for them, if anybody knows? RIP Dave

[fuckface864]

oh nvm. its in the title :O

damn i love this band

[fuckface864]

when was this? rodney sounds alot different than i remember. his voice sounds like hes been hangin out with that god forsaken jeff foxworthy :O

[unclethermo]

beautiful!!!!!

[wcolli876]

23 years ago, these guys had something to say.

[BilangualPotato666]

badass =]

[mikeydel272]

i got a bitchin camaro! lol you guys rock!

[m0rael]

Awesome!!! this made my day dude

[DramaTubeFag]

Waste of internet space. Please remove and save the internets.

[marsyro]

someone pulled the good version of them just singing the song.

[mbipunkskinheadoi]

I wish I could be as optimistic as Rodeny is about making change. As for Joe, I am always breaking my G string. I restring my guitar 2 times a week. When it comes to bending my strings I have reached my peak.

[ZoophPA]

I love it. I goty to outdrink Dean at the 1989 show in Da' 'Burgh.

[Number1Joker]

I was at this show!

[dmmskater09]

awesome
