saw these guys at the warfield in san francisco when they opened for exodus on their 'impact is imminent' tour...the only thing i remember is that art liboon wore a ski mask during their set...ah, those were the dayz...
The lyrics to this song are the perfect blend of smart assery and stupidity. - Apparently they thought that it would be a great idea to mock the "jerks" who are dumb enough to think that you have to work in order to earn a living, when the alternative is so simple: Take two different music genres at which you suck in equal messure and combine them to create a hideous, hideous style that will be fashionable for about 20 minutes (after that, of course, you may have to "work up a sweat").
que bueno, los tengo en casette desde que salio el album, y los sigo desde hace muchisimo...me gusta mucho la voz y esta banda es tremenda.... buenisimos...
I remember buying this album after seeing this video at like 1:45 in the morning almost at the end of the original headbangers ball and right before that video was Silent cries by Fates Warning so I bought both.MTV is almost completely black now day's;I guess that's good for black people but not for metal fans.Why do most black people with the exception of a few hate metal so much?
I got to see these guys several times in the bay area. Usually they were playing with the Mo'Fessionals. Then one day I saw them with a different lineup and they sounded like a completely different band. I was sad as hell!
OK, this is hardly an original statement, but man I love this shit!! Still sounds awesome. Those were some good times with guys like Mind Funk, Suicidal, Living Colour, FNM and Mordred funking it up metal style!
Sorry but this was not the best track on Fool's Game. I mean I'm not a huge funk fan at all...but the album Fool's Game is a thrashtastic pice of work!!!!! Love it!
excellent i seen them in 1990 in aberdeen scotland-scat opera supported-i met them all at haddows buying booze for the gig-very nice chaps indeed-stopped for gotos and chatted to me for ages :-) :-) :-)
@mothball50 WTF!? Stop voicing opinion as fact, you self-righteous piece of smegma! FFS. You faggots really piss me off. I am already in a bad mood and you fucking wank stains have made it worse. Maybe you just can't find music that is new and good because you're too busy caught up in the past... either that or you're just a fucking moron who can't find out about new bands without some magazine. Fucking monkey balls. Suck on my left testicle! (go listen to Wintersun, Opeth, An Endless Sporadic)
Thank God for Mordred....\m/FFFFFF\m/
