Those Dumb Punk Kids... - Jello Biafra & The Melvins

[gobthebuster]

I have to admit, it would be pretty interesting if Gary coleman was in black Flag

[oftenlostinwhat]

Yesterday i was given a new dead kennedys shirt as a gift.

I burned it.

[timsissucks69]

at least he ain't lying about it. shit man punks always and FOREVER WILL BE done half-assedly. you can never get a bunch of people together and realistically expect some sort of epic, large scale social change to take place. it would be great and all but.... poopsack

[NefariousBanana]

Considering what's happening to the Dead Kennedys right now, this song is even more true.

[BorgieBabyxx]

well im 15 and i know alot about punk, media didnt show me punk, a friend of mine did, and i know just everything on the misfits and alot of shit about other punk bands, i am not no dumb ass poseur who wears misfits shirts and only likes it for the logo, i fuckin love dead kennedys and the misfits (and bad religion too!)

[DirtyUncleBrandon]

@BorgieBabyxx Listen to Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown EP, and The Descendants - Milo Goes To College, Minor Threat - Complete Discography ( Its 1 cd). Trust me you will not regret it.

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@DirtyUncleBrandon I Don't Want To Grow Up was pretty sick too man, especially the second side - even though it was more pop than punk the songs are tight as hell

[DirtyUncleBrandon]

@daddyfatsaxohten Pervert was pretty good off that cd. But the rest were lacking it felt like a bunch off tracks that didn't make it to Milo Goes To College. It sure sucks now about that new Misfits album sucks so much. Look it up it's horrible.

[deathnote62]

@BorgieBabyxx sup dude check out Choking Victim; first and only album , Descendents Milo Goes to College, and Propaghandi discography if you want to increase ur punk collection

[Marlwolf78]

It's nice to see an artist whose voice AND message don't age over time. Fantastic track.

[ballpeenbaby]

Gary Coleman in Black Flag.

[HyperVoldo]

haha, I don't buy Punk albums if the band members don't get any money (or don't care, as many don't :p ) just download them...

but in the same vein, it's fucking annoying when you see some 11 year old in a misfits shirt who couldn't even name an album by them

[MrJukeshoe]

You could put a fucking polka band in front of Dale Crover and it would kick ass.

[BarrioPunkRock]

the jelvins

[dihydrohydroxycodein]

Much better than Dead Kennedys!!

[graham2ta]

As long as you like the DKs then all is good LOL

[graham2ta]

izzyadriano, I just looked at your channel, you are only 21, haha, I was watching the DKs play live long before you were even born, bet you wish you cloud have seen them live eh !!!!

[izzyadriano]

@graham2ta dude im only 15 btw and i FUCKING LOVE THE DEAD KENNEDYS, my dad showed me them haha ever since then i love listening to punk, ive been to soo many shows. thats fucking awesome dude i really env that. my dad has seen them twice i think. i could see them if i wanted but its not worth it because they dont have jello anymore, and i think thats fucking retarded.. and sorry i must have mis understoood ur comment... "This is great, well done Jello, nice guitar sound." i thought u meant...

[izzyadriano]

@graham2ta jello plays good, sorry for leaving u such a long comment haha

[graham2ta]

I never said Jello did play guitar, I know he doesnt, I like the guitar sound on the album, that does not mean I think Jello played it ???

[Massacrist5409]

Clever lyrics :)

[AndyNarcotic]

Good ol fuck you to the rest of DK track...I saw the apparent revival of DK and it was true the bastard on vocals was pullin out sheets to the floor for the lyrics : /

[graham2ta]

This is great, well done Jello, nice guitar sound

[izzyadriano]

@graham2ta jello doesnt play guitar smart one haha

[smolderingmilage]

All three of Jello's ex-bandmates disliked this video.

[ANBUblackops666]

The last half of the song was about how DK sued Jello and started making it corporate lol god damn talk about a dis track xD. I love old punk but god damn the new stuff is good if you find the right ones lol

[punkemochick55]

:D

[djgeeter]

buy buy buy from circle-A like hula hoops it's a disposable craze, a fast-food fad to throw awaaaaaaaaaaaay !

[MattMuerto]

do any of you people actually just listen to the music instead of complain about the details of every fucking thing in any scene. dear god, help me instruments are selling out apparently.

[kimbostube]

@MattMuerto fucking oath....

[VampireLikeYouAndMe]

god I love this song

[Koolkitties]

Shut up, Jello.

[bojosection]

I don't know about you guys but i think Emanuel Lewis singing with the Germs would

be pretty goddamn entertaining.

[davefromlynn1]

I saw jello and the melvins in 05 i think in Boston Mass. Kick ass show

[ThatOneAgain]

I was surprised by how direct the third verse is. I'd really like to know the truth. Jello has all the rhetoric he needs to convince people of his account, which is a good reason to question him in the first place. Is there any source of the other ex-members tackling this topic openly?

[disnywhite1]

Yes, if you go on east bay ray's wikipedia page there's a link to an interview he did for a guitar mag, I think. Jello has really sold his fans out by being such a shit. He complains about a Levi's commercial that mysteriously has yet to materialize, There's hard documentation that he signed off Police Truck to a video game, he lied about DK's version of Too drunk to fuck being used as a backdrop to a rape scene in Planet Terror when it was a cover, He's not a good liar, that one...

[gapingmaw20]

this song does a good job of putting into words exactly how I feel about the punk rock movement... don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are punks, but they don't know how to think for themselves worth a shit.

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@gapingmaw20

Your friends aren't punks. No one has ever been a punk in world history.

You can only be a punk rock fan and an individual, or you can belong to a group and be a conformist.

[Vascor]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo "You can only be a punk rock fan and a massive faggot" fixed that for you

[roboimp]

@Vascor some punk you are, bagging on the gays

[xDeadMisfitsx]

...i like the Misfits ='( lolol

[oiyabastard]

this hasot to be the fasted the  melvins ever played

[butheadVSbevus]

@oiyabastard what about honeybucket ?

[uvkezalonje]

THIS IS JELLO BIAFRA?!-live legend

[MacGyver109]

oi oi oi!! punk never dies ugh im so crusty

[Must60faster]

Um, just sayin there's more to the whole lawsuit thing than the Levi's commercial. That happened years prior.

[erikdiaz111]

they wanted to use "holiday in cambodia" for a levis commercial

jello didnt let them because he hated levi's buisness ethics and how they used sweatshops

the band sued him for the name and $220,000

then they tried getting the band back together to make money

jello wrote the song as a way of getting back at them......thing about him, is that he used music to get his point across.

[retrograderenegades]

@erikdiaz111 A true punk band wouldn't allow their songs to be used for commercial bullshit. Jello is also opposed to DK songs in video games. Atleast he never sold out and stayed true to his own ethics. He was a true punk

[erikdiaz111]

he still is.

[disnywhite1]

@retrograderenegades wrong on all counts. he sold the rights to Tony Hawk, there's hard evidence of it, andthere is no commercial for Levis even though the band was legally free to allow it a long time ago. He's a HUGE sellout because he placates his zombie lemming fans. That would be.......you.

[hombrealcielo]

Could anyone post down the lyrics for this, PLEASE?

[ibanezmancons]

Punk's been dumbed down To just another form of TV Marketed to shoppers Spoonfed carton rebellion like sheep Flock to worship any old school band Who cares if they still care or if they're bad Something new in town Who wants to know? And look at all the whores Reunions for wrong reasons Playing only songs from the good old days About how bad the good old days were So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more

[ibanezmancons]

But look at all that retro-racket cash Those dumb punk kids will buy anything We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs So we can sell them into commercials Steal the name and hit the road Trashing all our band stood for We won't rehearse, sound worse Dig up some old child star Who never learns the words Hey, we're back Show us how much you care The merch booth's right over there

[ibanezmancons]

Buy! BUY!!!

And if our scam works

What a bandwagon it will be

Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits

or Mary Kate and Ashley

Gary Coleman in Black Flag

Courtney in Nirvana at last

And Emmanuel Lewis

Back in action singing for the Germs

[ibanezmancons]

When will it end?

When people see this for what it is

Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief

So how bout Kenny Boy Lay

In Dead Kennedys

Kuz those dumb punk kids

Will buy anything

[IanSchultz13]

I bought 2 of the re-issue cds used.

[Ihateindiemusic]

Man I wish that Jello and DK would be cool with each other again. Oh well DK did screw jello.

[elennon720]

What? Screwed Jello? How? He wanted a larger portion of the profits because he thought he was the band.

If you see anything from Jello, they screwed him.

[ibanezmancons]

Meh they screwed eachother.

[coprographia]

He was the band.

[toddviv]

You are so right

[BeGrunge]

No, he refused to let them use certain songs for commercial reasons because it was against what the band stood for.

[shasta723]

thats silly, jello will never be cool with any one, last the DKs, because Jello has integrity, and he isnt cool with sleaze bags, like former expand mates

[kingkongpingpongdong]

..just got this on vinyl!

[AllApologiesMike]

Jello Biafra is seriously the greatest relevant lyricist I've ever heard.

[eatfurrypeople]

Happy Birthday Jello!

[TMF58]

Jello Biafra is a fucking genius.

[TheRedneckJunkie]

i guess but his voiceis fuckin anoying

[TMF58]

Your MOM'S voice is fucking annoying.

Haha that was a lame comeback. I should not say anything back, you are entitled to your own opinion.

[TheRedneckJunkie]

hmm

[eatfurrypeople]

This song is great. I love it.

Pointing out the flaws in Punk Rock culture--showing how half of them not just today, but since it started have been ignorant bullshitters always doing what they say their against.

That's what I like about Jello and other political Punk artists, never afraid to criticize their own culture and community. People have always been worried about that.

[debo222]

seeing emanuel lewis sing for the germs would be funny to see one show

[TheManians]

This song fucking' rocks.

[SummerLandMan]

I must say...Probably one of the best, if not the best, collaboration in history; one of my favorite bands with one of my favorite singers. Fucking brilliant!

[Homieg89]

in this case, piracy is a good thing.

[TheRedneckJunkie]

piracy is always a good thing.

[magicmage316]

I buy all their music on used lp's.

[SomeKindOfBand]

Crap I just ordered Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables....

[mo4form]

some fucking idiot said that jello sold the dead kennedys out what a fucking idiot

like get a clue

[siouxsiewestwood]

he didn't sell the dead kennedys he lost the rights to dead kennedys in a trial

so everything that has to do with dead kennedys in hop topic is not from him

[BandsImWorkingOn]

what really sucks is that he wrote most, if not all, of the lyrics, so the result of the suite is fucked

[Nederlandac]

The band is a sellout, APART of JEllo.

[oiyabastard]

@mo4form HE RIPPED THEM OFF THE ROYALTIES THEY DESERVED, HE LIED ABOUT SALES , TO CHEAT THEM OUT OF MONEY ,,, YES EVEN GOOD OLE JELLO IS A THIEVING GREEDY BUSINESSMAN , , YOU SHELL OUT DOUGH FOR YOUR PUNK IDOLS DONT U?

[disnywhite1]

I'm glad to see that someone has the balls to not blindly follow a rock star. Good show, oiyabastard, cheers!

[sobernuts]

@oiyabastard I'd rather have Jello be a greedy asshole, than give up his music to corporate shilled movies and TV. He was greedy for a good reason, because he knew that the DKs didn't stand for that shit.

[Torkulguy]

@mo4form That fucker should get the shit kicked into him. Jello got screwed over.

[johnnylovesbutter]

i love this song

jello biafra is my idol

[UnknownSun556]

Scathing... I was mad when I read about that whole business with that reunion tour. My suggestion is to borrow the CDs of DK and burn them to your computer. I have no respect for the former bandmates who betrayed a fellow musician.

[ibanezmancons]

Sadly, I live in Wales so I bought all the DK albums before I knew anything was up... and when I read into it, i was embarassed that I'd bought them. They screwed me over - I thought the extra CD in the special Fresh Fruit album was gonna be something cool but it wasn't it was crap - the songs were already on Give me Convienience. So hey motherfuckers, I want my £65 back please.

Can't wait for Jello's new band to release their album ^-^

[Misfits655]

thats why i downloaded all there albums :D

[jkyujkgjghf]

I love this song!!

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

Good DK inspired sound by the Melvins, this rocks. LOL, "Malcolm in the middle in the Misfits, Gary Coleman in Black Flag" etc. Cos the new DK singer was from what, The Courtship of Eddie's father? And the "Misfits" tour with replacement parts from Black Flag...

[johnnylovesbutter]

courtney in nirvana at last!
