Cool jam. There's so much great music that most people never even hear once.

[wba731]

[MichaelHansenFUN]

[gunnare123]

@MichaelHansenFUN oh, did he say anything?

[MichaelHansenFUN]

@gunnare123 small talk

[PnxNdd420]

[clownpaint20]

[fenderjackson73]

[qdwright76]

George Hurley is the shit. Point fucking blank.

[OzymandiasXLIV]

oh wow, 1985. Poignant year for Boon... : (

[MichaelHansenFUN]

ONE OF THE GREATEST RIFFS EVER!!!

yes

[handymandan100]

Punk for people who don't (think they) like punk!

[jmotherfuckinswags]

The most underrated band ever formed.

[circlejerk77]

the minutemen were pure musicians in every sense of the word. they were artists and innovators. johnnykaka66 is right, they didn't make any money for anyone. they were more punk than greenday or rancid or any of these fools claim to be

[68beano]

5 was my numb long charlie battery chum jawbot sinks

[thelmnop]

1 guy was so drunk when he watched this he accidentally clicked dislike.

[kidchronic666]

yeah fuck the rock and roll hall of fame. the ramones shoulda told 'em to go to hell. idon't know i think they felt like joey woulda liked that

[classicrock7530]

the song that got me into the  minutemen

[TheMasterOfReality55]

This song makes me wanna cry sometimes, I think of boon a lot. :(

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

ONE OF THE GREATEST RIFFS OF ALL TIME!!! I LOVE IT. forgot to tell Mike Watt.

[BagpipeHustler]

love how d.boon is playing the robert johnson kinda guitar........

[BarKafka]

Excllent. Thanks for posting!

[AudioJihad]

My guitar playing has been influenced more by D. Boon than any other guitarist. It feels so unique and familiar at the same time.

[poochydapimp]

This is something you need to smoke ALOT of pot to appreciate. lol

[kingdorkiv]

poochydapimp is w-r-o-n-g.

[chrissstopherG]

hey, i got a question for whoever:

i read somewhere that mike watt partially wrote this song because he felt bad about something he said to a mexican dude in a bar.

is that what it is or....?

or was what i read totally wrong and it's d's song?

[sg8923]

it's watt's song. d. boon wrote a song about the same mexican trip- corona.

[vealshanker]

this is Great! Thanks for posting. working men are pissed!

[WeenBanjo]

buzz or howl under the influence of heat is great

[Ilooklikeronjeremy]

I saw Minutemen in London in 84 or 85. I've never loved a band so much. Much missed. *****

[funkyfuhrer]

One Word:AWESOME!

[dratipsha]

LO MEJOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikewines68]

One question? Why is this band not in the rnr hall of fame and mettallica is ?

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Because cool music isn't allowed. The sign on the front says so. It says in big, shitty brown letters, "HARD WORKING MUSICIANS NOT ALLOWED."

[psionicman]

the actual reason is politics. not music politics, politics politics. their critiques of the era and policies of reagan (pbuh) still hit too close to home for a lot of the mainstream, and all of the people who hold power in whatever institution

metallica worked plenty hard to get where they are. but at this point anything that promotes them just works to siphon more money out of the working class. it's easy to find institutions to help when that's the outcome

[BagpipeHustler]

god i hate politics. just some old geezer telling you what you can and cannot do.

[Missouriman37]

@psionicman wow

[TiboPINSARD]

Mikewine68, same question for the Stooges...

[mikescott77]

record sales. Metallica sold more, so they get more recognition. A better question is how the hell is metallica in the hof and megadeth isn't? Megadeth was way better than metallica in the 90s. It's nonsense.

[mikescott77]

also, richie valens is in the hof, and he basically made one song.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@mikewines68

they have the opportunity...also this is a punk band. read the book of rock lists...

[umlautbastards]

@mikewines68

Because you're never rewarded for sticking to your guns - only for the Grand Sellout (and don't get me wrong, early Metallica is STILL the shit) - but if their not being in the rock and roll hall of fame is the price we have to pay for some of the best and realest music ever made, then so be it. What you do is support Mike and George in whatever they're choosing to do now. If you love them, help contribute to the place that gave them their break - SST records, and PLAY IT ALL!

[bigsmooth50]

@mikewines68 why is metallica in and KISS isnt.........still havent figured that one out. they werent the best musicians but look at KISS' inlfuence and what they bought to rock n roll

[olitraiga]

@mikewines68 who gives a shit about rnr hall of fame. why is justin bieber a millionaire but george hurley isn't? music ain't about the money or the fame.

[johnnykaka66]

@mikewines68 because they didn't make any money for anyone. Grammy's, Hall of fame, any kind of "distinguished award for that matter, is just a celebration of the generation of revenue. I think the Minutemen were kind of the antithesis to that. And I'd be disappointed if they were in that BS institution.

[deadhead155]

@mikewines68 dont bash on metallica they worked their ass of to be were they are and have gone through alot together and are most definetly one of the most talented bands around--but minutemen should also be there!!!!

[ardentoctopus]

ahhh, the joy of finding cool shit at 5am when you can't sleep.

[PersonMan92]

hurley on bongos = awesome

[banksyhead]

whats the chances of anyone knowing were i could get a tab for this song? great guitar work by the way, d boone's style was so raw

[graphicvisions]

he was way more then just a good guitar player

[znorelax]

someone link me, this vid deserves more hits

[msemtd]

very good - reminds me of old skate videos!

[bradgenetta]

this is punk

[metolapata]
