This is total bullshit. If they really fucked up the dressing room, like he SAYS they did, Fear wouldn't have played. They would have called the cops and stop the show, with no musical guest. What a crock!
@evelsteev Congratulations, , but were you there for That particular show? If not, how would you even know the truth? Like I said, very presumptuous of you.
@ChuckMcChip that's like saying: "it's presumptuous of you to think that saying "nigger!" in a black church isn't going to piss anyone off." It's called reality.
@evelsteev So how do you explain people going apeshit at the show, causing damage to the set and yet FEAR kept playing?
If anything, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take the word of a New York HC legend over some guy on youtube trying to convince me that HE knows the truth and not John, just because "he was there."
@evelsteev And it's my point to say that I'm gonna take the word of someone who's done something with their lives over a 40 something youtube flamer. "LOL"
@ChuckMcChip having a life isn't the issue. You assume because he "did stuff" (the life of a criminal is "doing stuff, LOL!) that he's more credible. Wow, you should get out more often, since that logic is embarrassingly shitty. Famous have been known to brag and exaggerate facts, time and time again, or did you not know this? Talk about naive. I was there, you weren't. Case closed. Have a nice day :)
@evelsteev Wow, you're really stretching out this issue beyond what I could care to respond to. Like I said, get a life, and no, having a life is not getting insecure over people calling you out for being a 40-year old nothing and using your right hand as a stress reliever every night because no one else will.
"Have a nice day :)" lol, what are you, a high school cheerleader? Pathetic. Predictable from a flamer, but nevertheless pathetic.
@ChuckMcChip then why do you keep responding? You responded to my comment first. You're the one who had ot be a smart-ass and try to "one up" me. It's sad, dude.
Do us both a favor, and stop trying to "one up" who have been around longer, and have lived a life. You weren't there,so quit pretending that you're were. Yeah, "have a nice day" is more polite and mature than saying "using your right hand as a stess reliever" Maybe says more about YOU, than anything.
@evelsteev You can't help responding either, dumb shit, so that makes two of us. And if you had a life you clearly do not now as you are hilariously waiting for my every response since everything else in life has passed you by....When the fuck did I say "I was there?" Take your pills, grandpa.
Lucky for you, a 19 year old can show more maturity than you possibly could and end the conversation now. And I know, honesty hurts, so I can see why you're so offended by the "right hand" remark. ;)
It makes ONE of us. You responded to ME. Why don't you just admit that you did, instead of trying to be so tough behind a computer? You're obviously hurt by the truth. Thats your problem, not mine. I'm hardly a grandpa. I'm the same age as John Joseph.You're not showing ANY maturity with those childish comments you just made. YOU'RE the one who came up with the masturbation remark. Your sex life is irrelevant to what I was saying, but they have forums for that kind of thing. You should go there.
Am I supposed to cry at these comments? Because if I am, wow, you need to grow up, man, it's sad.
I deleted my comment because of bad grammar. But if you want to put in your insecurities in it, go ahead.
If someone thinks that "gramps" applies to 40 yo's exclusively, then do us a favor and videotape yourself telling John Joseph, to his face, that he's a "grandpa." I dare you. Otherwise, just shut up, kid, and go back to the mall. LOL!
I got to see this moment briefly on youtube before it got pulled, I forget the power of "google" but classic footage. I loved it, Youtube sucks, thanks to those who posted a link though. Does anyone know if it's available on vhs, dvd, 8 track?
And this has to do with what about John Belushi being a punk rocker? (Other than it was because of him that Fear was on the show) Belushi isn't mentioned once.
@seattlealex John Belushi is the one who called up Ian MacKaye and had him get people to the show to dance. It doesn't explain it in this interview though.
What a douche. Like everyone with him, he had no regard for the the audience members that were there to enjoy the show. I bet they had a great time but what does he care, he's...wait, that right he's no one. Just some uneducated loser with a "cult following."
Influential? yeah, on an entire generation of shitheads and "gangstas"
no,man this story is true..i saw this show on NBC the night it came out..They did take over the cameras.. the old footage of this on the Broadway video "best of SNL" WOULD NOT show how bad the studio hacks lost control of the situation.. Best punk t.v. moment ever.. F.U. QUINCY {the tv episode} .. and ,of course--G.G. forever
True story! I just watched it, my pal sent it to me since Derf Scratch died a couple weeks ago. Last thing you see is a dude on stage with a huge ass pumpkin!
@VHDT10 if you had read @SidGrey's comment about John being on drugs, my comment would make sense.. ("like the word "fuckin", much eh? DO ALOTTA DRUGS NOW, GUY?") I have much respect for dudes who are edge.. especially those who have been through as much shit as John Joseph McGowan.
@VHDT10 If you had read @SidGrey's comment about John being on drugs, my comment would make sense.. ("like the word "fuckin", much eh? DO ALOTTA DRUGS NOW, GUY?") I have much respect for dudes who are edge.. especially those who have been through as much shit as John Joseph McGowan.
Sounds like Sid Vicious was reborn into John Joseph !
Mindlessly smashing and destroying things for no apparent reason.....exactly what the media have always portrayed punk as.......hence the Quincy episode !!!!!
* Fear was banned from playing again after the 1981 Halloween episode. With Donald Pleasence as host, the band played that night by request from Fear fan John Belushi, and they proceeded to play offensive songs/ and bus in "dancers". The situation was out of control to the extent that the damage of studio equipment forced Dave Wilson to end the three-song performance
Bullshit. Lee Ving told me at a Fear gig last summer there was no damage at all. They were just pissed because some soundman had to spend his break fixing a broken cable.
@harpo10 @ harpo10. Click the link at the bottom. Go to NY Post Headline archives for Nov 1981! The NY POST FRONT PAGE Headline said $250,000.00 in damage was done. Also my ass was there personally. EYE WITNESS HOMIE! Lee Ving told you that
Worst Halloween of my life until I came home and turned on the TV to hear Pleasants say..."Ladies and gentlemen...FEAR!" then watching the chaos "live" and shi#ing my pants with excitement.
This monologue by Joseph is a damn blast! @tristanauspride Check out PopEater today, 04-24-10 "Worst SNL Performances." It has the entire performance on video, uncut, till the commercial anyway. 4:39 of mad brilliance. You can see Belushi in the shadows, I believe. PoEater: "For fans of punk, this is one of the best shows ever. For everyone else, though, not so much." Is that so, well then check out 'Decline of Western Civilization' "Eat my fuck, asshole!" "What does eat my fuck mean? Fuck you!"

@tristanauspride it's not on youtube.... I tried to post the link but Youtube won't let me post a link to another website.....Google Search "Fear live TV 1981" it's the first video result
@tristanauspride I guess I can't add the url, but in google type "videosift fear snl" and it will be on the first page. Quality gets better after the first song
@tristanauspride there's footage of 'new york's alright' and part of 'let's have a war' but it's been taken off youtube for some odd reason, i'll double check and if there isn't any i'll put the shit up for everybody's viewing pleasure.
@tristanauspride I actually saw this it on tv when I was a kid (it was a re-run, not the actual 1981 live version) and it was one of the first times I knew I was going to love punk rock for the rest of my life. I wish there was easily accessable footage, because I would love to see it again.
I have that show on VHS, it cuts of right when that dude comes out with the jack-o-lantern. The whole front stage was just nuts with punks and skins(real skins, not that shit the media brainwashed everyone to think of) all over the place! Bloody fantastic!
belushi was studying punks to write skits about them... he wasnt a punk but he did run with them and they watch him die... they said to them ' i dont care about you ... fuck you... new yorks ok if you like saxaphones'
I am 45 years old and was old enough to have had the priviledge to see these things play out in the Mass Media and in various social circles
Long story short... Belushi thought he could top Radner's Candy Slice and then smooze a hard nose kid from Philly to do his new sound track for the movie Neighbors only to find out that they were more down with filming Suburbia and watching Belushi 'live & die in LA' while they just stood their lookin at him singin 'I Dont Care About You'...Fuck You'
that episode is out there. You just have to look for it. The part where Ian yells "New York Sucks" is very, very audible. If you find the video, it's before Lee Ving starts into "Let's Start A War". There's about 2 seconds where he stops.
The "Fuck New York" part can be heard, but unless you know what you're listening for, you might not be able to understand it. It's after New York's Alright..., but before Let's Start A War.
I've seen very brief footage of it on tv like on vh1/mtv as part of a punk documentary or something. Like a kid flying through the air above the most pit and that's it. I've tried looking on youtube and I can't find anything. what a shame!
Well since I am the one in the video I guess the chick calling it fiction, is claiming i made it up... it was such a minor event it made the headline story of the NEW YORK POST the next day because we caused over $250,000.00 worth of damage. Check your sources sweety. I was there hung with Belushi backstage at SNL and was the one doing damge to the place. So EFF what you heard or read. JOHN JOSEPH
Why do none of the accounts of this event match up? I've read more than a few interviews that go into the 'Fear on SNL' event and they range from the SNL staff overreacting to a minor incident to this outrgageous version. Gotta be honest, this version of events sounds like complete hyperbole if not outright fiction.
Personally i think the youth culture of today is pussified. We could use more kids smashing civic centers and shit. Fuck the corporate douche bags. If violence upsets you, go listen to fleetwood mac then, posers.
$500,000 in studio damage. Legendary.

@tristanauspride there's footage of 'new york's alright' and part of 'let's have a war' but it's been taken off youtube for some odd reason, i'll double check and if there isn't any i'll put the shit up for everybody's viewing pleasure.

@tristanauspride I actually saw this it on tv when I was a kid (it was a re-run, not the actual 1981 live version) and it was one of the first times I knew I was going to love punk rock for the rest of my life. I wish there was easily accessable footage, because I would love to see it again.

I have that show on VHS, it cuts of right when that dude comes out with the jack-o-lantern. The whole front stage was just nuts with punks and skins(real skins, not that shit the media brainwashed everyone to think of) all over the place! Bloody fantastic!

Belushi filled in on drums with the dead boys when their drummer got stabbed. He was a party animal who liked the gritty life. He was a punk!

belushi was studying punks to write skits about them... he wasnt a punk but he did run with them and they watch him die... they said to them ' i dont care about you ... fuck you... new yorks ok if you like saxaphones'

I am 45 years old and was old enough to have had the priviledge to see these things play out in the Mass Media and in various social circles
Long story short... Belushi thought he could top Radner's Candy Slice and then smooze a hard nose kid from Philly to do his new sound track for the movie Neighbors only to find out that they were more down with filming Suburbia and watching Belushi 'live & die in LA' while they just stood their lookin at him singin 'I Dont Care About You'...Fuck You'

that episode is out there. You just have to look for it. The part where Ian yells "New York Sucks" is very, very audible. If you find the video, it's before Lee Ving starts into "Let's Start A War". There's about 2 seconds where he stops.
The "Fuck New York" part can be heard, but unless you know what you're listening for, you might not be able to understand it. It's after New York's Alright..., but before Let's Start A War.

All I gotta say is John Belushi bashing that hippies guitar against the wall in
animal house was fucking punk rock.

Is there footage of Fear on SNL?
olesne 3 years ago
I've seen very brief footage of it on tv like on vh1/mtv as part of a punk documentary or something. Like a kid flying through the air above the most pit and that's it. I've tried looking on youtube and I can't find anything. what a shame!
imafuckingrobot 2 years ago
you won't find it on youtube. Keep googling SNL Fear 1981 and you'll find it.
theshipmentoffail 2 years ago
Well since I am the one in the video I guess the chick calling it fiction, is claiming i made it up... it was such a minor event it made the headline story of the NEW YORK POST the next day because we caused over $250,000.00 worth of damage. Check your sources sweety. I was there hung with Belushi backstage at SNL and was the one doing damge to the place. So EFF what you heard or read. JOHN JOSEPH

Why do none of the accounts of this event match up? I've read more than a few interviews that go into the 'Fear on SNL' event and they range from the SNL staff overreacting to a minor incident to this outrgageous version. Gotta be honest, this version of events sounds like complete hyperbole if not outright fiction.

Personally i think the youth culture of today is pussified. We could use more kids smashing civic centers and shit. Fuck the corporate douche bags. If violence upsets you, go listen to fleetwood mac then, posers.
