Go to this channel to check out my NEW song called "ISLAND". I know what ur thinking, and you probably think its going to suck, BUT it's actually pretty catchy. So check it out n let me know what you think.
@fatriff true with almost all their songs. Kind of funny in 1988 I asked Ian if/when they might be releasing an LP and he said he didn't know if they ever would... that he liked just playing and not worried about recording..
0:30 "hey guys..are we like..supposed to dance..?" "hell yeah i woulda guess so.." "..so have you any idea what we should do?" "oh its easy..just err...move some parts of your body somehow.."
@timothy790110 it's coming back man. something's going on, bring back good alt indie rock n' roll. I was at a dinowalrus, Total Slacker, fergus n geronimo, weird river show and people were alive. It's about the music. When you look at it people aren't making such a high concentration of lose yourself, dancemosh music that happened in the late 80's-90's. dino jr, fugazi, pavement, archers loaf, polvo, etc etc etc. There's alotta good music nowadays but not rock n roll.
When I was 14 years old this was the best band I had ever heard; on stage and off. Now I'm 35 and this is the best band I have ever heard; on stage and off. No one can match their tightness.
Genres and categorization will be the death of music. This isn't aimed at Fugazi fans (you all seem pretty straight in the head), but who gives a fuck what you call the music you listen to? If it sounds good, play it!
never really liked Fugazi much back in the day, but I always had HUGE respect for them for fighting the record retailers. I still remember going into places like Turtles Music and Tower records and seeing Fugazi Cd's that clearly stated "this album should cost no more than 8 dollars".
These were the hay days of brick and mortar music stores trying to get $18.99 for 10 song CD's and people were sick of it. The record industry can only blame itself for people turning to piracy.
@takahahaharu This is NOT grunge! I think if you need a word to describe it, it should be Post-punk, because it is what happened after the late seventies-mid eighties punk scene's changed. The music that was created between 1985-1989 by early punk rock bands had changed, and much of it , for the worse... But they light was seen on the horizon, the time was neigh' and Fugazi said "Let Their Be Something After Punk..." and there was Post-Punk. And we saw Fugazi and knew that it was good.
@zZoiksNo it isn't, how old are you? I was in high school during this time, you probebly weren't even born. Grunge is a word used to describe the music created in the mid eighties in Seattle, Wa. Here is the definition according to wikipedia...."a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area" Fugazi was in Washington D.C., which is on the east coast and sounds nothing like grunge!!!
@kushasaures you say post-punk is after punk, grunge was clearly influenced by fugazi, the sound is quite similar. Also Grunge is a form of punk music and came after the original wave as punk and is thus post-punk.
@kushasaures Hi. Don't mean to disagree, and this certainly isn't a troll post, but Fugazi is credited by many as being the first grunge band. Fugazi was one of the main ingredients that went into the Seattle Stew that created grunge. It is a compliment (although I expect that Fugazi would consider it a curse, based on their views of corporate based music) that such a large movement drew inspiration from their writing. And as far as Fugazi's Genre: That's easy: They're genre is FUGAZI.

My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!
there will always be a part of me that feels slightly disappointed in the fact that i started listening to fugazi in the early 2000's..and was never really old enough to see them perform. WHY WAS I BORN IN 1988
@whateverthehellz Because your dad's ugly and was never able to got his end away before then? Honestly yours is such a stupid question it deserves ridicule.
@whateverthehellz 93 for me, I feel your pain man... I just hate how bands were out when we weren't old enough to be there to enjoy them. I feel so stupid and it's not even our fault lol! Man.... they need to get back together
No one cares, I know I don't about stupid labels. This was the start of Emocore and Straight-Edge kids and P.C. I was personally here for the goddamn fucking music. I think that's what's lost in today's music. Sure, I don't like most straight-edge kids, sure I hate most "Emo" bands. Regardless, I don't go out of my way to make some half-assed comment about how much I hate them. Nothing is wrong with an emotionally driven song. Fade To Black by Metallica for example. Just listen you, don't label.
@SzczerbiakAttack If I could I would put your comment in a frame, hang it on a wall & take the time once in a while to just sit & look at it for 5 minutes.
@maciverandy Punk is about more than your gay-ass moshing. All you fag-core kids annoy the shit outta me. You probably have (or have had) gauges and a lip ring, or something haven't you? Anyways, if you think Fugazi fans are afraid of offending people, just read some of the previous comments on this video alone. People call Fugazi nazis, for Christ sake. They're offensive, and they're honest, and that's what I love about them. They aren't afraid to tell it like it is.
@StevieRay825 YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! i have so many piercings!!! i have 15 in my prince albert alone!!!thats how hardcore i am!!! this music is about nothing and is pretentious... just like you buddy! but you said "fag-core" ? what do you think ian would have to say about that?!!!! he would have a good p.c. talk with you and let you know that saying fag is so terrible!!! you fucking fag!!!
@maciverandy maciverandy A French bloke called Camus pointed out somebody who rebels by the way they look is not a rebel if nobody can see them. (I hope only a chosen few see some of those piercings) Why not wear boring clothes but say, think and do rebellious things? I would defend people who want to look different but your piercings won't make anyone think differently. Fugazi have made me look at the world in new ways. Your piercings just make me think ouch!
@exsugarbabe i don't have any piercings...i was being sarcastic. i don't really worry about doing rebellious things anymore... a bunch of pukes at a fugazi show ain't changing the world buddy. the world won't change until shit goes haywire and how much do you really want the world to change? if you are a little p.c. white kid from orange county it's easy to say,"ohhh the world sucks it has to change!" but you are part of the problem.
I can't imagine anything more punk rock than playing an outdoor show in freezing weather in front of the fucking white house. It looks like it was an anti-war benefit, too. Who needs leather, studs, or mohawks? THIS is punk.
@SzczerbiakAttack It was not a benefit so much as a protest... just a few days before bombs started falling on Baghdad in January '91. I skipped out of my job at a local record store to see it!
This was the day before the First Gulf War started. I was fortunate enough to be standing with my wife right next to the cameraman who shot this footage. A great day for Americans.
@SzczerbiakAttack It seems like the more normal looking bands are better, because they care about being "punk" and all that bullshit they just care about their music first and foremost.
@SzczerbiakAttack This was intended to be a homeless benefit in Lafayette Park, but that week GW Bush launched Operation Desert Shield/Storm and DC went berserk! Too late to shut down this show. A very emotional afternoon. This blended into the nonstop drumming protest that supposedly kept Barbara Bush the Elder awake for months.
Ian MacKaye of Fugazi delivers an epic tale of a European tour threatened by a massive attack of Polish skinheads. It's a must read. Check it out at The Worst Gig (WorstGig.com).
No I'm not kidding. Like I said, that was an idea blown out of proportion. Fugazi in no way condones the current, skewed, misinterpreted definition of "Straight Edge." Mackaye's definition involved maintaining respect for others despite their choice, not skinhead punks trying to jump anyone smoking a cigarette at a show. Try reading my comment before you reply, your lack of education shines through; at least try to make you're rebuttals comprehensible, you're not proving your point.
I had been bullied because I was fat all my life but all the dancing made me thin and attractive. I was also quite vindidctive. I once told a girl that I wouldn't kick the shit out of her if she licked my combat boot and ran away. And she did! This made me feel the power that bullies must relish, it was good to finally be on the predator side of life. I still have a hot streak in me and will throwdown if confronted with any insult.
@killer3x777 I have to ask, what makes you punk? It seems any troubles you or your gutter rat friends have had have been caused by yourselves. Some of us have dealt with real hardship, so don't bullshit me about your rebellious punk attitude.
@killer3x777 while trying to appear like a badass punk you made yourself out to be a fucking loser in desperate need of affirmation. Sorry dude, but I dont give props to people like you.
And after becoming so drunk, I wondered lot's of times if he might die, he would hit things, usually concrete walls or through panes of glass. This meant he was in danger of not only melting his liver, but a severe cut would mean he was in jeopardy of bleeding to death. I always was the one who could reach him and get him to cheer up, his friends didn't like this, but in the end I betrayed him; eventually I betrayed all my friends. Some of them deserved it, it was a difficult life. Fighting!
Fugazi was the voice of an absent parent almost what homosexuals suffered in the 60's, punks had daily threats against them from parents and teachers and fellow students. For entertainment, we found vacant appartment buildings and tore them to shreds!!! My best friend decorated his room with stolen stop signs and spray painted his walls with anarchy signs still I wonder if his parents even knew if he was there. He became a terrible alcoholic, he would drink until it diluted his blood to water
It was an unspoken vow or law, if anyone, adult or peer approached and asked, "Why do you dress like that, or why do you look like that?" the response was always the same, "Like what? What do you mean, how do I look?" "Are you a punk?" answer, "What's a punk?" Friends of mine would grow their hair out to a six inch mowhawk, shave off the sides and freeze their hawks in place with superglue!!! Our skateboards and our boots were all we had. My parents went on vacation and we skated in the pool!
If anything can be said about Fugazi, it was the band's exceptional triumph of the nature of the skater, or punk philosophy, which is stated as, I am not a Football player, or a cheerleader, I am not you, and I DON;T WANT TO BE! In these years so much teenage suicide, so many punks were beaten up by jocks, we were the joke and the punchline! We wanted to be left alone, free from harrassment! Many of us turned to drugs and alcohol, and yes even huffing scotch-guard. And it was like a code,
I love Fugazi because, and I don't know how they do it, when they play that base to when it sounds like you're in some kind of tunnel, that's outstanding!!! They are also amongst the more intelligent skater/punk bands. Red hot chilli who? Hole what? My other favorite bands are like Shriekback, Nemesis, back when we had records, my friend would play it on the slow-speed, and it sounds a lot cooler! I like Depeche-comode, butthole surfers, samhain, front242, sorry if they are skins I didn't know
And then the next generation came along and fucked up our ecosystem, calling punks, goths, and basic skaters emos, if you called someone emo to a guy's face you'd have your ass stomped. Indie bands what the f---K? Grudge? What the f is that shit? Now everybody colors their hair, pierces, tattos at will, and they dare to consider themselves unique? Teachers and cops still don't like it, not out here in farm country, fuck-em, if they don't have any taste! Poor Kurt Kobane though, media wife did it
To this day, in my opinion, Fugazi is unsurpassed in talent and distinct sound, I have never met their equal. Not even Tool, Metallica, Godsmack, and especially not Lamb of God, Lord! They are a group of pussies if I've ever seen a piece of shit no talent freaks who are worse, I'll let ya know! I still love waiting room because the lyrics really hit home, "I won't make the same mistake twice." and again, "And function is the key!" All authorities seemed to cross the street just to spit on us!
I liked to wear my hair in a mowhawk and dress in flannel nighty-pants with a t-shirt. I liked black paten leather shoes, I still have a pair of Doc Mart's boots.Hard to skate in combat boots! I loved my black biker jacket and I still have one. I didn't get a lot of bands like Ministry, a skinhead band, I didn't even know until I grew up, oops! A few years back some 17 old boy said that he had created the "Waiting Room," Fugazi video. I said what in utero? That video is almost as old as I am!
I had all tipes of friends, hard-core punks, skaters, those called "AlternativIes," Some were quite wealthy and wore tasteful black, with Doc Mart, low-quarters of course. My mother became worried when my entire wardrobe became black and brown. I would grow my hair out, but underneath my head was shaved. The best part of the eighties, "Acid-House" sound of the underground! Everyone was smoking turkish clove cigarettes, and the drugs were everywhere! Parents treated us like "Waiting Room."
I was a skatin-betty, I spent a year paying off an Alva Nomad, with electric purple trucks and white bones. It cost more than 275$ and two weeks after I got it, my bff toby, traded it for an eight-ball, without my consent. That was an original Tony Alva skateboard! I don't understand the major association with Fugazi, spearheading some straightedge movement, but I never paid too much attention to the music band's pollitical themes. I chose what I thought sounded good, they were smarter than me.
But in reality, we had never heard anything like Fugazi, their heavy use of base distinguished them from other bands. They weren't NineInchNails, nor were they Front242, or bands heavily using electronica and heavy dark lyrical moods. Fugazi was like a voice of reason to a generation of orphans. The divorce rate kept climbing, spawning ever-more groups of "Latch-Key," kids. The parents of some of my closest friends barely knew if they were still alive, or didn't seem to care one way or what.
That's why "I'm a patient boy, I wait, I wait, I wait. It was an important time, even though Rice's "Interview with the Vampire." came out in the 70's the impact on the culture during 80's from this novel, can be said to have generated an entire underground species. For example, The Cure, everyone whore pale make-up and bright red lipstick, we were vampires.. Bellalagossi's Dead, undead, undead, undead! Bauhaus. Fugazi really belonged to the skaters, haircuts were less drastic, converse, black.
Fugazi, was a band ahead of it's time, nothing can touch them, not all the b.s. that finally came out of seattle, nothing. Fugazi is a skater-punk band, not punk. Punk infers mohawks and combat boots. I suggest watching the official Waiting Room video, if you grew up during this time, the message is quite clear. Okc is a Bible state, suddenly kids were wearing black and shaving their heads, parents lost their minds, we ended up waiting in principal offices, psychiatrists, pastors, satan did it.

Fugazi really belonged to the skaters, haircuts were less drastic, converse, black
When I was about 18, music transformed drastically. Fugazi was a skater-punk band, not an industrial punk band, look at the crowds, do you see anyone who would listen to Ministry, or Misfits, Skiinny Puppy, no. You don't see mohawks or combat boots, or flight jackets, or biker jackets. All the music out of Seattle can't touch Fugazi. I think that's what made Kurt Kobane so depressed and he felt guilty, because any band that made albums were considered :"sell-outs".
I am 41 and a bitch on fire, don't bother with the insults, I'm imune. But, do realize how freaking deluded you are because you think that if someone says, they are straightedge, they are the jack-asses and should lighten up and have a drink? Is that like virgins are just uptight and in need of a good fuck? Do you have any idea how long people have been using the term, "straightedge?" And people like me who did drugs tried not to do them around them, so as not to offend.Wow, the users are good!
Hey Babygirl, people who do drugs to enhance their fun level, that's their body. But they have no right to make you out to be a hypocrite because you don't put things in your body that can kill you or cause permant damage. Synthetic demoral, MPTP, is a disaster it's chemically malformed. One use can cause Parkinson's Disease, permantly. Other drugs can cause sudden cardiac death, and respiratory failure! The truth is that they don't want to feel bad about what they doi, even if it kills them!
Yeah, Ian MacKaye always said being free of addictive substances and promiscuity was a PERSONAL choice. He never intended that whole scene. It's great that teenagers make a choice to distance themselves from drugs, but teens tend to have the "us against them"-spirit, i.e no tolerance for personal choice.

No one cares, I know I don't about stupid labels. This was the start of Emocore and Straight-Edge kids and P.C. I was personally here for the goddamn fucking music. I think that's what's lost in today's music. Sure, I don't like most straight-edge kids, sure I hate most "Emo" bands. Regardless, I don't go out of my way to make some half-assed comment about how much I hate them. Nothing is wrong with an emotionally driven song. Fade To Black by Metallica for example. Just listen you, don't label.

Anyways, if you think Fugazi fans are afraid of offending people, just read some of the previous comments on this video alone. People call Fugazi nazis, for Christ sake. They're offensive, and they're honest, and that's what I love about them. They aren't afraid to tell it like it is.

But if only the atittude is what metters, well, in that case Beastie Boys, Led Zeppelin and U2 are punks. So, I don't agree with you.
Punk culture is more complex than that. I hope you understand and respect my opinion.

No I'm not kidding. Like I said, that was an idea blown out of proportion. Fugazi in no way condones the current, skewed, misinterpreted definition of "Straight Edge." Mackaye's definition involved maintaining respect for others despite their choice, not skinhead punks trying to jump anyone smoking a cigarette at a show. Try reading my comment before you reply, your lack of education shines through; at least try to make you're rebuttals comprehensible, you're not proving your point.

And after becoming so drunk, I wondered lot's of times if he might die, he would hit things, usually concrete walls or through panes of glass. This meant he was in danger of not only melting his liver, but a severe cut would mean he was in jeopardy of bleeding to death. I always was the one who could reach him and get him to cheer up, his friends didn't like this, but in the end I betrayed him; eventually I betrayed all my friends. Some of them deserved it, it was a difficult life. Fighting!

Fugazi was the voice of an absent parent almost what homosexuals suffered in the 60's, punks had daily threats against them from parents and teachers and fellow students. For entertainment, we found vacant appartment buildings and tore them to shreds!!! My best friend decorated his room with stolen stop signs and spray painted his walls with anarchy signs still I wonder if his parents even knew if he was there. He became a terrible alcoholic, he would drink until it diluted his blood to water
killer3x777 6 months ago
It was an unspoken vow or law, if anyone, adult or peer approached and asked, "Why do you dress like that, or why do you look like that?" the response was always the same, "Like what? What do you mean, how do I look?" "Are you a punk?" answer, "What's a punk?" Friends of mine would grow their hair out to a six inch mowhawk, shave off the sides and freeze their hawks in place with superglue!!! Our skateboards and our boots were all we had. My parents went on vacation and we skated in the pool!
killer3x777 6 months ago
If anything can be said about Fugazi, it was the band's exceptional triumph of the nature of the skater, or punk philosophy, which is stated as, I am not a Football player, or a cheerleader, I am not you, and I DON;T WANT TO BE! In these years so much teenage suicide, so many punks were beaten up by jocks, we were the joke and the punchline! We wanted to be left alone, free from harrassment! Many of us turned to drugs and alcohol, and yes even huffing scotch-guard. And it was like a code,
killer3x777 6 months ago
I love Fugazi because, and I don't know how they do it, when they play that base to when it sounds like you're in some kind of tunnel, that's outstanding!!! They are also amongst the more intelligent skater/punk bands. Red hot chilli who? Hole what? My other favorite bands are like Shriekback, Nemesis, back when we had records, my friend would play it on the slow-speed, and it sounds a lot cooler! I like Depeche-comode, butthole surfers, samhain, front242, sorry if they are skins I didn't know

And then the next generation came along and fucked up our ecosystem, calling punks, goths, and basic skaters emos, if you called someone emo to a guy's face you'd have your ass stomped. Indie bands what the f---K? Grudge? What the f is that shit? Now everybody colors their hair, pierces, tattos at will, and they dare to consider themselves unique? Teachers and cops still don't like it, not out here in farm country, fuck-em, if they don't have any taste! Poor Kurt Kobane though, media wife did it
killer3x777 6 months ago
To this day, in my opinion, Fugazi is unsurpassed in talent and distinct sound, I have never met their equal. Not even Tool, Metallica, Godsmack, and especially not Lamb of God, Lord! They are a group of pussies if I've ever seen a piece of shit no talent freaks who are worse, I'll let ya know! I still love waiting room because the lyrics really hit home, "I won't make the same mistake twice." and again, "And function is the key!"

I liked to wear my hair in a mowhawk and dress in flannel nighty-pants with a t-shirt. I liked black paten leather shoes, I still have a pair of Doc Mart's boots.Hard to skate in combat boots! I loved my black biker jacket and I still have one. I didn't get a lot of bands like Ministry, a skinhead band, I didn't even know until I grew up, oops! A few years back some 17 old boy said that he had created the "Waiting Room," Fugazi video. I said what in utero? That video is almost as old as I am!
killer3x777 6 months ago
I had all tipes of friends, hard-core punks, skaters, those called "AlternativIes," Some were quite wealthy and wore tasteful black, with Doc Mart, low-quarters of course. My mother became worried when my entire wardrobe became black and brown. I would grow my hair out, but underneath my head was shaved. The best part of the eighties, "Acid-House" sound of the underground! Everyone was smoking turkish clove cigarettes, and the drugs were everywhere! Parents treated us like "Waiting Room."

I was a skatin-betty, I spent a year paying off an Alva Nomad, with electric purple trucks and white bones. It cost more than 275$ and two weeks after I got it, my bff toby, traded it for an eight-ball, without my consent. That was an original Tony Alva skateboard! I don't understand the major association with Fugazi, spearheading some straightedge movement, but I never paid too much attention to the music band's pollitical themes. I chose what I thought sounded good, they were smarter than me.
killer3x777 6 months ago
But in reality, we had never heard anything like Fugazi, their heavy use of base distinguished them from other bands. They weren't NineInchNails, nor were they Front242, or bands heavily using electronica and heavy dark lyrical moods. Fugazi was like a voice of reason to a generation of orphans. The divorce rate kept climbing, spawning ever-more groups of "Latch-Key," kids. The parents of some of my closest friends barely knew if they were still alive, or didn't seem to care one way or what.

For example, The Cure, everyone whore pale make-up and bright red lipstick, we were vampires.. Bellalagossi's Dead, undead, undead, undead! Bauhaus.

Fugazi, was a band ahead of it's time, nothing can touch them, not all the b.s. that finally came out of seattle, nothing. Fugazi is a skater-punk band, not punk. Punk infers mohawks and combat boots. I suggest watching the official Waiting Room video, if you grew up during this time, the message is quite clear. Okc is a Bible state, suddenly kids were wearing black and shaving their heads, parents lost their minds, we ended up waiting in principal offices, psychiatrists, pastors, satan did it.

When I was about 18, music transformed drastically. Fugazi was a skater-punk band, not an industrial punk band, look at the crowds, do you see anyone who would listen to Ministry, or Misfits, Skiinny Puppy, no. You don't see mohawks or combat boots, or flight jackets, or biker jackets. All the music out of Seattle can't touch Fugazi. I think that's what made Kurt Kobane so depressed and he felt guilty, because any band that made albums were considered :"sell-outs".

I am 41 and a bitch on fire, don't bother with the insults, I'm imune. But, do realize how freaking deluded you are because you think that if someone says, they are straightedge, they are the jack-asses and should lighten up and have a drink? Is that like virgins are just uptight and in need of a good fuck? Do you have any idea how long people have been using the term, "straightedge?" And people like me who did drugs tried not to do them around them, so as not to offend.Wow, the users are good!

Hey Babygirl, people who do drugs to enhance their fun level, that's their body. But they have no right to make you out to be a hypocrite because you don't put things in your body that can kill you or cause permant damage. Synthetic demoral, MPTP, is a disaster it's chemically malformed. One use can cause Parkinson's Disease, permantly. Other drugs can cause sudden cardiac death, and respiratory failure! The truth is that they don't want to feel bad about what they doi, even if it kills them!

Yeah, Ian MacKaye always said being free of addictive substances and promiscuity was a PERSONAL choice. He never intended that whole scene. It's great that teenagers make a choice to distance themselves from drugs, but teens tend to have the "us against them"-spirit, i.e no tolerance for personal choice.
