The Plasmatics - The Damned 1983

[huntr7777]

Sounds like the Scorpions! I dunno, I always preferred their more punk stuff as opposed to the poser metal sound.

[MrCarlosraven]

só uma pergunta: como alguem acha que vou conseguir bater um onibus em centenas de TVS na minha casa ?

[ikiribazara]

Si me pidieran simbolizar en una canción que es el heavy metal con todo su poder, sin duda esta canción seria la mejor

VIVA WENDY

[explosivefreak666]

Wendy Would Rape& Traumatise lady gaga,.. Try and Picture that,...Klick.! BYE, Gaga..Gna, na,ha..

[iondylan]

Beavis and Butt-head brought me here!

[kirbyyasha]

Remember this on Beavis and Butthead. Loved it.

[mindyzachbaubles]

they were good band but ten times pistols n clash i think not 

[JohnnyImmorale]

rca madò!

[bdaleypsu]

Really, how far ahead of its time was this?

This is like having a jet airplane back in 1855.

[MiCaCasTuCaCa]

I was 13 when I listened to the Plasmatics and also this was my first song from them. It was 1984. I feel sorry for this generation, because they will not have real music legends. We do

[franksaninocencio]

@MiCaCasTuCaCa I was born in 86. Dont sweat it, we keep good music alive!

[MiCaCasTuCaCa]

@franksaninocencio no offence to you, but you mean what they call ..old school ..meaning late 70's, 80's, early 90's? because that's where I belong, and even late 60's!! You're better than me to have an opinion on the latest music. I'm 41 now, and I don't listen to the radio or watch tv except for sports. You're like 24 right!?

[franksaninocencio]

@MiCaCasTuCaCa No offense taken my friend. My point is that even if a song is 20, 30, 50 or 300 years old, it will transcend time and be appreciated by the right people. Keep rockin' my 41 year old friend. I sure will be if I get there!

[MiCaCasTuCaCa]

@franksaninocencio Thanks for getting my point, and in general that was what I meant by this generation, because in many videos that's what I see ..many bad comments about the newest bands, and how music was better back in the day ..and to me ..it is true!! All those comments I mention are from people between 14 up to 26 years old. Wendy hated tv and tv wasn't that bad then ...what would she thought about Mtv and VH1 in this present time? plasma screens are expensive to be smashed!!

[kolemyers21]

she really hated tvs

[VideoRoom207]

this is a killer track, no doubt

[oldman504]

это пиздец? O

[skillitt1]

Wendy O was Marie Osmands alter ego! lol

[Wscate]

They don't get better then Plasmatics think about it who today comes close to what wendy was doing over 20 years ago. Even her vocal style for a woman to sing in a growl like she did was so ahead of the time. Also she wasn't afraid to be tough smart dangerous as well as sexy. God i love her.

[jetblackram]

Love the Plasmatics, and Wendy!

[19blindsniper]

Och...Fuck !!!

[MetalListGer]

Wendy is f*****g awesome . she died in 1998 :/

[johnfrew182]

saw them S F longshore mans hall 82? chain sawed t v in half pretty cool ha ah ha ha ah

[olderoger]

@johnfrew182 I saw them in 82 also, opening for KISS in Indianapolis. Wild show, not only did she cut up a T.V. she cut a car up on stage.

[BillyBodyBag666]

fucking David Hess on bass is bad ass!!

[meangreen69Nova]

Only Wendy would drive a bus into a wall of TV's then the bus explode.

[666Nightshift]

Great Wendy!!!!!!Bad ass!!!!

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

i love the plasmatics !

[penc13]

Probably the greatest music video ever produced. I blame this for ruining my life.

[kekoDandrea]

no tv was damaged in this video

[jesushitlerhaman88]

Thank Destruction not some fucking stupid kike created Beavis and Butthead.

[skinny9283]

Glorious vid, just looking at Wendy cooly walking away from the stunt gives me the friggin chills.

[mzaputil]

This is the credible version of this vid, the other lameass versions have Richie Stotts blacked out for some suckass, fucked up reason.

[DivaDarkie]

I'll always believe The Plasmatics and Wendy O. could have made so much more if they remained active for at least a couple years... "Maggots" Really took thrash/speed up a notch.

[Goldfrappe]

RIP Wendy O. I love plasmatics! This is what REAL bands, videos and performances should be like...musicians of today, take a cue from them!

[ihatestupidsignups]

Saw her open for Kiss in Minnesota She was way better than they were!

[herrgolf]

@ihatestupidsignups No comparison, really.

[ihatestupidsignups]

@herrgolf Yeah, Kiss was fishing for street cred by hiring them and she make them look like the posers they are.

[hypermommaluigi]

Wendy koopa is named after Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics. kick ass.

[caramelkoopa]

@hypermommaluigi All of the koopalings were named after musicians and talk-show hosts.. Though Wendy o. Koopa isn't my favorite koopaling, I absolutely adore her namesake.

Wendy, you still live in our hearts- modern women in music just can't compare. :D

[rkau8671]

Wendy rules!

[randyricci]

I'm so grateful that I got to see this vid when mtv was mtv and the Plasmatics were getting played. LONG LIVE WENDY O!!!

[Lordwozza1]

I discovered The Damned in 95! Masterful stuff!!! \m/ \m/

[PinkOld]

Have to admit that it looks as if she did most, if not all of the stunts herself for real.

I'm doubtful about the final leap as the bus crashes and explodes, though, because the camera cuts away just as she goes airborne.

Still, her face is clearly recognizable when she drives into the bank of TVs the first time, and (really gutsy here) singing and dancing on top of the bus, moving at a pretty good clip.

Say what you will about the musicianship; she had serious nerve.

[johnstonebreaker]

Right after I got out of rehab, I read that she had killed herself by a gunshot to the head with "a large caliber handgun". She didn't fuck around, did she?!?! The world is weaker without her.

[mediattackrecords]

great hit metal no religion no p.c. speciesist homophobe dicks and assholes only

[zavorapipefish]

PROFESSIONAL CONCEPTUAL ARTISTS

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

its trippy but those punk rock and metal teens of the 80s are most likely grandparents or old adults living throughout the world , it must be a trip to see how long punk and metal lasted.

[Maysticha]

Um dos melhores clips que já pude ver na vida.Wendy FOREVER!!!!!

[R8Rob]

Looks like something out of Mad Max and the Road Warriors! Awesome...

[amoralimmortal]

It my just be my inner nerd speaking but every time I see this video I think of Fallout: New Vegas and get pumped.

[Jacarter99]

Destruction does this song better

[devssuck]

my dad is chris romanelli

[brutanza]

belleza de video!

[jamespage1680]

How Plasmatics didn't take over the world i will never know. How good are the vocals.. and this clip is wicked.. bring back picture in picture i say!!!

[AngryAgain]

@jamespage1680 they were too ahead of their time &* they broke up too soon. They only released one album on a major record label & that was the album this song comes from, the rest of their stuff was on some underground, poorly distributed record label. People were also confused, were they a punk band or were they a metal band. People love to label bands and cling to their little labels, especially in the 80's.

[nemosvjerovat]

Is that Hulk Hogan on guitar? :)

[PatrickBatemanV]

Warning: Do not try smashing a school bus into a stack of televisions at home. Do it outside if you have to.

[LORDGOAT1976]

She will kick your ass lol.

[Bulin1994]

I don't like punk . I am here because i heard Destruction cover of it . But she had a great voice .

[Sirgreaseflick]

Wendy was the REAL deal, like Lemmy is to Motorhead. What other Punk/metal female artist NOW can duplicate the same energy, honesty, honor and eternal Punk ethos that Wendy had? Answer: not a fucking soul! She should be in most music stores, and is NOT - not even in the alternative/punkmetal genre section. My local store stocks her now, that's my salute: c'mon people, approach your local musical midget store manager today and demand The Plasmatics!!!

[rudeboy2112]

thanks wendy, rest in peace

[jrw0001]

It's Jeff Hanneman on Guitar from slayer in the middle :P

[DarkLordNick999]

It pissed me off when this video was removed from Beavis and Butt-head and replaced with AC/DC! Yeah, I said it!!

[Johnnyboy414]

@DarkLordNick999 AC/DC SUCKS!!!

[AudioVisualMatter]

"Oooo, baby....come to Butt-head." This was their perfect woman.

[BOYLOBOYLO]

wendy is like the perfect chick , shes a sexy , raw , offensive rebel that likes to break shit and blow shit up , 1 of a kind , if ya like this video yez should check out the live video of masterplan its so fuckin cool

[brincher]

FUCKIN' EPIC!

[Malkaking]

[frankalien]

[NIMRODakaNIMROD]

[AAC902]

[magnificator]

RIP Wendy O. Williams

[madammelva]

I WORSHIP HER!!

[ruffhuffproductions]

this video is so terrible that it makes it awesome

[ChelseasaurusRex]

@ruffhuffproductions It just has this kinda cheesy 80's and like 'wtf?' feel to it but Wendy O. Williams is such a badass, she can do whatever the fuck she wants. I love it!

[nthemuseurodenon]

W.O.W. 

[mew6112]

Road Warrior anyone?

[IDidItSidsWay]

@mew6112 LOL, i was just going to ask if this video was inspired by the Road Warrior

[mew6112]

FIRE! FIRE FIRE!!

[MrHellstorm]

Motley Crue said their image was not gay, but Road Warrior-inspired. Mick, Nikki, Tommy, Vince, look at Wendy, think it over, apologize and go sob in your pillows (beware the mascara stains though...)

[wendelkin]

She reincarnated into me. It's true. <3

[1983Valhalla]

Was this ever shown on MTV?

[sean44mares]

@1983Valhalla yes it was

[lexdimes]

0 dislikes haha , fuck yeah

[EdwardGrenthMcCain]

very good song !

[OpieCavalera2]

wow listen to what they say at the start of the video! dont try this at home! i tried to spike my hair like wendy and almost poked my eye out doing it!

[nadaoferie]

There was no tougher woman than Wendy O. Willams.

[ChancellorTrample]

@nadaoferie

THIS!!! A million times this!!

[nadaoferie]

@ChancellorTrample Right On C.T. I FULLY agree!!!!

[deathtohulutube]

the music video makes me think of mad max 2 aka the road warrior 

[cr4nkie]

super!!!

[DAproductions5X3]

I'm in love

[CJ076]

This was a really heavy song for 1983. More metal than metal was at the time.

[chadhoganlive]

i saw this video from beavis and butthead

[brandoncipelle]

OK i have this behind the scenes thing on some VHS ( pirate copy sorry has no name i can find )yes the Bombs real . She almost died falling off the bus. Its all real . you can't see it o her face but shen she jumped off the busshe alomost broke her arm .

[panagiotis444444]

destruction plays it better haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VladDrakkkul666]

Best band ever...

[stainlesstig]

I can remember when I was like 10 or 11. I wanted to BE Wendy.She's a HERO to ALL women.Thanks for posting this!!!!

[pepperlovespsycho]

Wendy is still alive in our hearts.

[WoodRatGirl]

@pepperlovespsycho

Amazing woman. I reckon P!nk stole her look off her abit.

[cjmarsicano]

@WoodRatGirl I remember reading an interview with P!nk several years back and she actually mentioned Wendy as a hero and influence.

[DiemKaye]

@cjmarsicano I was wondering about that because so much of Pink's image and high-flying acrobatics as well as her desire to "rock" as opposed to being simply a lightweight pop star and her obvious ties with the GLBT crowd made the connection seem obvious. Good to know that the idea wasn't pure coincidence.

[TheThroney]

i wonder if wendy really climbed that ladder hanging from the cessna?

[Chantelle4BillieJoe]

was the bomb real then?

[miguel1233TX]

thrash punk

[otheozzy]

it's great to see the real damned video with the whole band in it. this will most likely get pulled, but it's really good to see.

[southernboygonebad]

Thank God for Beavis and ButtHead. Without them, so many people today would have never know this video ever existed.

This video was obviously filmed in Tucson, Arizona.

[Chantelle4BillieJoe]

@southernboygonebad haha yes i saw it on beavis and butthead and it seemed quite good so i looked for it, thanks to beavis and butthead :D

[bordun1988]

@southernboygonebad yep i just saw Beavis and ButtHead and thats how i found out about this band

[HipperthanHellRecs]

Yeah! The original with Dr. Stotts! TanX!

[madammelva]

I miss her so much!

[osnajo]

wendy

cool

cooler

WENDY

ist einfach nur geil

- die mucke

- und auch die frau

jo aus osnabrück

[SteevDragon67]

Fucking awesome! and at the end wendy is like... eh... no big deal!

[ChancellorTrample]

@SteevDragon67

If I remember right all she walked away from this was a sprained ankle (?)

[nadaoferie]

@ChancellorTrample More than that! She almost broke her arm when she leapt off the exploding bus. Check out the directors cut of this.

[Syntarro]

i loved this band back in the day, even though i caught alot of shit from friends who called the plazmatics fake punks and posers

[TheThroney]

@Syntarro hahah posers... idiots. no offense

[ChancellorTrample]

@Syntarro

I always kind of did wonder about that..

I was in too small a town to really know any of this back at that time, but I often wondered how their original punker fans reacted when they turned metal..

[zombiejuho]

very cool, the original video... thanx for postong!!!
