Fugazi - Suggestion ("It's not polite to bite the musicians")

[camroc32]

it woulda been funny/appropriate if they'd let him hit the ground and then danced on .

him

[charlessale]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[xTheOxx]

That's what made Fugazi as special as they are: they were willing to engage people, as people. Not as rock stars with an audience of admirers. They had the balls to want this and accept all consequences.

Ironically, that's precisely what made them *more* than rock stars. It makes them bona fide role models.

[homelessathome]

fugazi used to be a three piece. who the heck is the fourth guy on the stage?

[DrFonzo]

@homelessathome Guy Picotto, he's on every fucking album they've ever put out....

[ukusapillage]

prima donas, it ws these prima donas that fucked up the whole movement, with crappy straight edge crap, u cant do this and u cant do that

[cangong]

@ukusapillage it's funny though, cos their music sound awesome on weed ha! it sounds like a hectic king crimson, of all bands.. there was an ad in MRR back in the eraly 90's: a desk, a few straight-edge albums, and a hand rolling a joint ha.. can´t remember the name of the company advertising, but it's something i would certainly hang as a poster on my walls, even today! all that hidden libido comes alive when fugazi plugs in, no doubt! i raise my whisky glass to this band.

[ukusapillage]

i would had fuck ians mouth so hard he would be singing without its teeth next album

[danathefunkiest1]

@ukusapillage you're an idiot.

[ThemeForAJackal138]

preachy bitch

[silionness]

what a bunch of fuckin assholes! (the audience of course)

[deathbypowerglove]

I really respect Fugazi's take prisoners approach.

Saying HEY. As someone (Ian) who started all this....I'm telling you this stupid sjit isn't ok. It's what gives our types a bad name. Stop ruining what we worked so hard for you to enjoy.

[DJGUAPOMTL]

I was at the Repeater tour in Montreal at the Rialto. This enormous guy kept coming on stage to stage dive, easily over 250 lbs. Not cool. Guy jumped on top of him, they stopped th show. Ian said "you keep coming up here and we've asked you to stop. You must have something important to say so here's the mic. Get it out of your system." He grabs the mic and yells "Fuckin Fugazi are God !" and stage dives into the crowd. The band just shook its head as another idiot has clearly missed the point.

[yeddiify]

i would be embarrassed to be in this audience.

[yeddiify]

that kid was a total tool.

[spittingbloodhc]

What you're seeing is respect for other people in it's purest form. It comes off a self-righteous because seeing other people care this much for the safety and enjoyment of others reminds us of how little respect we have for ourselves and for other people.

[shanepealow44]

I love Ian but sometimes he can be a dick.

[cjparrott]

ian... such a self-righteous prick...

too funny when someone yells "rockstar"... "shut up and rock!"

[insteally]

dawwwwwwww it had a happy ending

[SlapRhythmEx]

Ian, the dictator: in full effect!

[DoolittleKid]

0:59 That look pretty much sums up the whole thing.

[captainblewhard]

You know there are mothers sitting in their cars outside of this gig waiting to pick up their sweet little kids. Fugazi is a bunch of momma's boys. And MacKaye sounds like a fuckin' wet fart.

[captainblewhard]

You know there are mothers sitting in their cars outside of this gig waiting to pick up their sweet little kids. Fugazi is a bunch of momma's boys.

[rnfr]

if they had a decent security staff, that kid would've been politely escorted off the stage the minute he stepped on. just cuz it's a punk rock concert, doesn't mean you can do anything you want and fuck up the whole show.

[unARTigNYC]

@rnfr The band had asked for no security on stage. Furthermore, it was Ian you backed the kid into his own amp. Two things that should be kept in mind.

[hyakoutake]

@unARTigNYC right!poor action...

[DuppyBruh]

@unARTigNYC But Ian has stated that people have lost the ability to walk as a result of stage dives at shows that he personally played, and like he said at the end "maybe it is our stage"

he didnt say maybe it is "your stage," because the kid was right, it was their stage...

so why does he feel that he gets to break certain unwritten rules and smash down on the rest of the crowd in 'our venue'

but very, very, true, he did back up into the kid purposely

[deijavoo82]

@unARTigNYC Ian didn't see the guy get up and walk behind him. Fugazi are one of a kind. Most bands would insist on the guy getting thrown back in straight away. Wonder how the crowd would react if the amp got fucked?

[deijavoo82]

@deijavoo82 actually sorry i wasn't at the end of the video. yeah Ian pushed him.

[AhYaOk]

what did he say? "i'm going to kill your family" ? lol

[MainComptonese]

I would be pissed , if some drunk knocked over my half-stack ... 

[Warpstarkirby]

ian grabbed that dude by the scruff

[Dietpill]

Fucking knocked over Ian Mackaye's Marshall Half Stack like a grade A dumb ass.

[yYourFami1y]

Ian sounds like Dr. Evil at 8:08

[kenny77771]

I'm surprised Ian didn't fuck that guy up !

[geoffwoade]

@kenny77771 Ian doesn't do those kind of things. Because he's a fucking nice guy. Fugazi even used to give people their money back before they threw them out of gigs

[kenny77771]

@geoffwoade I know dude, I was just kidding.

[geoffwoade]

@kenny77771 fair enough, sorry, i got a bit self righteous there. FUGAZI ARE JUST SO DAMM GOOD

[juggernaut0701]

why are people such assholes, dont get on stage especially at a fugazi concert.

[skateforzero357]

Why the fuck would you bite someone like that?!

[deathbypowerglove]

There are so many lyrics that are in this song that apply can be related to what happened lol.

[birthdaycake13]

Akward much...

[pukeoncops123]

Uh, whatever happened to punk? Fucking let the kid stage dive.

[RaymondSequenza]

@pukeoncops123 Punk isn't about stage dives. That's the point.

[pukeoncops123]

@RaymondSequenza I never said it was. But isn't punk about energy and having fun? Isn't about a certain attitude of reckless abandon and freedom?

[RaymondSequenza]

@pukeoncops123 It's about being yourself, and not giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. It's about freedom Fugazi saw stage dives and moshing as oppressive, that's why they don't allow it.

[daviddowns81]

@RaymondSequenza the irony of this statement is killing me. how is it oppressive?

[RaymondSequenza]

@daviddowns81 You can only have fun at my show if you're fit, male and young.

[daviddowns81]

@RaymondSequenza sounds like a load of crap to me.

[geoffwoade]

@daviddowns81 good answer......

[ZRN959]

1:19 ohhhh shitohshitohshitohshit

[txteabagger]

EVERYTHING HAS TO BE SOOO DRAMATIC

[jaytv777]

that guy must've felt the biggest prick of all time...I almost feel sorry for him

[jacob7207]

HA HA HA HA HA. I would have kicked the sheisse out of him.

[riptwan]

Brilliant. I love these guys even more:)

Fugazi are the shit!!!

[steve4steve4ever]

Amen to that.

[bacilusxxx]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[ButterKnifeLtd]

"No will not shut up and rock sir"

[gripper61]

priceless

[ButterKnifeLtd]

I read in a book that Guy would hug and kiss people who got on the stage as a way to discourage stage diving. Awesome footage 5 stars.

[straightedge442]

@ButterKnifeLtd Guy is such a fantastic person.

[lopside0]

@ButterKnifeLtd there's at least one other vid of him exhibiting this same behavior. i think you're right.

[aliveormedicated]

@ButterKnifeLtd what book??

[gravelyma]

Thank you Thank you Thank you.
