Front 242 - Tragedy For You (Full Length)

[PhesRock]

lol EBM. Yaye electric body movement!! its Industrial you may call it EBM now but it was industrial.

[Hammergods7]

This is not EBM or Techno this my friends is true blue Industrial, this was out long before ether style came out.

[nfn35]

@Hammergods7 Hell no. This is EBM !!! Check industrial on wiki or bands like Cabaret Voltaire , Spk, Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, early Laibach......

[Hammergods7]

@nfn35 dude I lived it I am 36 I was in the scene when this music was first coming out. This is industrial not EBM

[nfn35]

@Hammergods7 Ok , so check this out. I'm almost 41 now. I was following most of those bands since 1986-87. Nitzer . Front , Frontline, Skinny Puppy , NIN, Ministry, Cabaret Voltaire, Borghesia, Clock DVA, Laibach, DAF...... and many others. Nobody ever classified them as industrial. In fact it was them that called it EBM.

[laland79]

@nfn35 I would have to agree with Hammergods...I am almost...errr...grrrr 42...and in the clubs I have always known this music as Industrial. I guess it depends on where you are from and what the word on the street is. The word in the day in TO was Industrial...or Industrial Goth. Just saying.

[laland79]

@laland79 P.S...whatever you want to call it it still = some of the best F*$%'n music of all time!!

[nfn35]

@laland79 NO SHIT IT IS !!!! As I wrote it's them that used the name EBM to describe music. And maybe in th USofA the are called industrial. In Europe it's EBM :)

[laland79]

I am not trying to start anything...but...FYI....TO = Toronto = Canada...NOT USofA. :)

[ELECTRORAVETECHNO707]

ELECTRO INDUSTRIAL CLASICO, GRACIAS x SUBIR EL AUDIO A 720 p, FRONT 242 RULES !!!!, ANTON CORBJIN UNO DE LOS MEJORES DIRECTORES DE VIDEOS DE; DEPECHE MODE Y FRONT 242 !!! :-)

[ASYAMEMO]

YEsYEsYEs :)

THX

[bizchazlien]

YES!!!!!! One of my all time fave. songs form one of the greatest albums! :)

[progreblack]

242, lo mejor del ebm , very soon in buenos aires

[1shoryuken]

why are 242's music videos so awesome?

[synapticflow]

I always hated the "red rover" crap in this song.

[WMuckaMW]

omg

[FallasDeOrigen1]

This song is a bout how shitty marriage is (from men point of view)

[fudo003]

This is Techno!

[tripdefect87]

@fudo003 Ehhhhhhhhhh, sort of, it's kind of more Hardcore/Industrial Techno

[BodyEngel]

@fudo003 This is EBM!

[zmanonimos]

One of the best groups of the history of the music 

[hal9thou001]

Anton Corbijn directed the best videos ever.

[ROBBEAUDOIN66]

Its kinda like how gobkli tepi was found.......kinda

[ROBBEAUDOIN66]

@ROBBEAUDOIN66 gobleki tepi......pardon me ha ha ha----no quarter---no pardon

[choochoo808]

Europeans in a foreign, sandy place, pulling resources out of the ground. Brilliant work, Mr. Corbijn.

[asdasd0112xd]

It kind of reminded me of Super Mario Bros 2...

[hardcoreroots]

very good :D

[v73k1]

Looks like Mr.Corbijn ran out of ideas , and so he recycled DM's Enjoy the silence video.

[lexigore]

Yep, industrial music used to be awesome, now most of it is just all the same and often sounds like pop music with heavy drums. Thank dog for Skinny Puppy.

[TraianusImperator]

You can really recognize Anton Corbijn's autograph here.

Compare this clip to enjoy the silence from Depeche Mode, or to almost all U2 vids.

[ericervinwoodwork]

its industrial, don't label it Ebm bs

[das81]

@ericervinwoodwork it's ebm. Trobbing gristle and Chrome is industrial. 

[danNYx86]

Crap!

[JackSmash32]

video anti cafard

[TheNarano]

And that voice, that was hers alone still resounds in me

A rhythm is in my heart

[TheNarano]

And that voice, that was hers alone still resounds in me

A rhythm is in my heart

[fleshypuppet]

 One of the coolest bands ever!!!!

[milliperezxx1]

this video was quite interesting to watch :D

[amp1969]

Thank You..really enjoyed this..

[pneumatictrousers]

This video makes me crack up. At the time I first heard it I a girlfriend who would make me taking her shopping for healthy food then blamed me for her getting fat. She would complain that I eat too much food and is the reason for her getting fat when I was totally trim and in shape complaining about her getting fat.

[zz8691]

I sey in russian охуенная группа!

[das81]

The influence of Conrad Schitzler is there XD

[FukkitBukkit]

This is why I'm single.

[BelgianMusic]

oh god i love our weird videos

[twill047]

Wow, this song totally takes me back.. I'm 39 so I was lucky enough to have been in my late teens when industrial was at such a creative peak. Where the hell is all the good, experimental music these days? Aren't musicians and artists taking any real chances anymore? Meh. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[MrNate37]

@twill047 Check out Sopor Aeternus

[broilet]

@MrNate37 I have made a checkout but didn't like it.

[bassistofsin]

@twill047 wow you really must've stopped listening to music...

[youredlines]

@twill047 It's out there if you look for it - try Ben Frost's last album for starters.

[evster320]

@twill047 It's all commercialised rubbish these days.

[BrokenMinister]

@twill047 Its all makin MONEY! not music. We were lucky SOBs. We might be the last ones who enjoyed REAL music, not some IDOLS wanna bees.

[bbroome03]

@twill047 Yep. These guys were in my wheelhouse too. Along with Ministry, NIN, Siouxsie, etc. Where did all the good music go?

[hrgaland]

@twill047

fuck yeah!!!

[j0sephcarthur]

@twill047 Yeah there is some new stuff out there.. just audiovox anything and they call it music :) - I have heard some good stuff but it seems to be more europeon-ish.. (i say "ish" cause maybe its Koreans trying to sound europeon.. or europeans using korean technology to do it?)

[wheelchairepidemic]

@twill047 You just need to know where to look!

[andromidius]

@twill047 Well, they are. They just don't get much publicity, so not many people get to experience it. The sad thing is, a lot of people don't WANT to be challenged musically :(

[pessimystica]

@andromidius

sad, but true... *le sigh*

[xVictimOfADownx1]

@twill047 not in electronic music, but there is a lot of jazz and metal music experimenting, you should check out Biopsyhoz though if you are looking for experimental electronic music

[clemone]

@xVictimOfADownx1

i hope you are not kidding

[xVictimOfADownx1]

@clemone why would i be? are you into either of those genres?

[clemone]

@xVictimOfADownx1 i'm just saying you might not be looking hard enough

[xVictimOfADownx1]

@clemone where do you suggest looking?

[ThatGuyDubstep]

@twill047

No, because it doesn't sell anymore.

[normtheclone]

@twill047 Animal Collective and Grindcore are pretty experimental.

[jjoker1976]

MEGALIKE! THX!

[socalveteran73]

A timeless classic.

[AndyLeedham]

Thankyou. I just love 242. Glad to see others do.

[TLACATECUHTLI88]

TOTAL SURREALISM!

[wumpscut1]

last week i saw a front 242 CD collections at a thrift store - how sad is that- i already have em but still--

[broilet]

03:19 what a nice frame, so EBM

[6207865]

It is now the time on Sprockets when we dance.....Touch my monkey!

[finitenoir]

they should really bring back the black leather jacket with shorts look. it's timeless.

[latiatia2007]

theme de 'tour de chance' rtbf les billets qui volent dans la tour !!!

[thisisjustme1]

What are all these not getting the video? It's quirky, it's art, it's absurd. And that's why it's great. And yes : there was a time when videos where more than just a bunch of naked bimbos dancing around cars. When will you realize that the 2000's are infinitely poorer creatively than the 80's/early 90's.

[glenn2347]

@thisisjustme1: couldn't have said it better !!! still play deux-quat-deux regurarly (20ys!) , found my glasses (black-glacier model) back some time ago and wondered off to the early 90's for a while :-). Btw also "Headhunter" was directed by A.Corbijn...

[Chimmyt2]

One of the best and most important tracks ever. Everytime i hear this i get goosebumps

[twasbrillig33]

The singing on this song reminds me of Sister's of Mercy

[alilexa310]

"Let's do a video about shopping, and make it as weird as possible"

[6simplejack9]

@alilexa310 that's very small-minded of you

[6simplejack9]

Respond to this video... Prophetic! This is what American society has evolved into. Ever been inside of Wal-Mart?

[freethoughtmusic]

@6simplejack9 All Western society in general. You're right mate. Great song though eh?

[sagena22]

give back the old front 242!!!

[musicgourmand]

music is awesome, but video is totally sucks....

[Chimmyt2]

@musicgourmand Video is weird, but how does it suck?

[darcygoesfast]

old skool industrial cool...saw them in concert back in the late 80's in DET.

[Chimmyt2]

@darcygoesfast Saw them 1997 in Sweden and they still kicked ass!

[albion03]

He's the dog and she's the musher... A love story. lol

[ninjaskilling]

@albion03 LMFAO! how true!

[Chimmyt2]

@albion03 Yeah, a love story with a bad ending, i get their take on the song. So does all with bad exp in the matter

[TheKnives777]

this video is so fucking funny!!! i love F242! random bananas a giggling fat girl, its like they made a post apocalyptic art film lmao... except i don't think there's going to be many fat people after the fallout.

[Chimmyt2]

@TheKnives777 Or maybe her obesity was supposed to mean her arrogance and confidence. Thats how i saw it anyways;)

[SloreTactician]

thats fine most goth chicks are that size anyway :)

[gurin20]

@SloreTactician ^^

[MrsFunkinSoul]

Anton  well done!

[BootyFister]

@MrsFunkinSoul Parts of it remind me of some of Corbijn's Depeche Mode videos.

[rilidaroo]

@BootyFister actually, this video was filmed by Anton Corbijn...

[BootyFister]

@rilidaroo Yep. He's pretty cool.

[Liam1993R]

I laughed at this video. Oh well

[ilcyclista1]

Leather jacket and shorts don't go well together. :| Awesome band though. :P

[electronautpl]

Great! Just great...

[gyloir]

Love this band so much, there's just really no other band like them.

[djmusicjac]

i love front 242 tunes very much "my cup of tea"

[pullbackbaby]

Dow dropped 242 today. Thought of this.. My mind is poisoned. Cheers

[felixcock]

lick but dont breath in,thats my law!

[tubeusux]

Is this video supposed to be completely random? Or is the message: vegetables make you fat and grotesquely ugly? Like the music though :) No offence to lovers of vegetables.

[omLaures]

@tubeusux Ugly?!!!

[tubeusux]

Is this video supposed to be completely random? Or is the message: vegetables make you fat and grotesquely ugly? Like the music though :) No offence to lovers of vegetables.

[tubeusux]

Is this video supposed to just be completely random?

[nickboston88]

Why isn't the Tyranny (For You) album available on iTunes?

[noizedemon]

@nickboston88 cause apple is a TYRANNY!!!! ;-D

[missrussianbarbie]

classic meow lol

[pluton2703]

trop bon , je les suis depuis leur début , et jamais je n'ai été déçus , longue vie a eux 

[tiamarr]

ooooooohhhh the memories!!!!!! I guess I need to be plastered to understand the video *-*

[wyndomearle]

20 people never found a rear view mirror



[fredo242madde]

no one will ever understand this video. i dont think the coked up director will either. still love the song though

[Polywanacraka]

@fredo242madde Its acctually easy : She is controlling & he is submissive. To quote the lyrics :

With that skill that was hers alone

She drove her clutches into me

I was dumbfounded

She was hungry

She required me entirely

Acctually the rest of the song is the tale of a poor man's being chastised emotionally...

Well my view anyway...

[indosmoke213]

the fathers never understood this video at all should remake this video the song will always live on!!!!!!

[trollcrusher242]

I really think that the "Tyranny For You" album was the peak for Front 242's mainline commercial success (albeit in addition to the "Headhunter" track off of the "Front By Front" album).

They whole album, look and sound, and subsequent world tour just sort of gelled together nicely for both the band and the fans.

I HIGHLY recommend the officially endorsed "bootleg" album of this tour known as "Live Target" (1992 release).

Best EBM song ever!!!

[Stealthmaster11]

Best EBM song ever!!!

[axeinface]

I have those sunglasses. The mirrored side has a slightly purple/yellow tint to it, but other than that they're the same. My neighbor found them in his attic and gave them to me as a gift several years ago, I still don't know where to find them.

[botzimektet]

reminds me ov my days at sanctuary at celebrities on davie st. good times.

[Tripletfudo]

[Edynaa4]

[Elevatorhead05]

@Edynaa4 De még mennyire!:) Örökzöld, és életstílus.

[artsgx2000]

The sore in my soul - The mark in my heart - Her acid rain...

[kokomotoysonline]

I'd make that BBW carry that cart by herself.

[pizzaspy]

1:27 Epic Leek score

[frontiero247]

[ThePoisonDoor]

Yeessss!

IT STILL KICKS

[crashpix]

[maluminse1]

This only brings love. I was so in love with you.... my ex when I jammed to this on the long rides to pick her up before she met my friend....

[vivodentrodemi]

GENIALL

[lavbo0321]

[fishbone342]

Hold on lads, iv'e got this great idea for a video. now bear with me

[realityfiend12]

Rivethead for fucking life. Thumbs up if you agree!

[rabbitr0n]

As much as I have loved and always will love this song, this video [after 20 years] still baffles the shit out of me.

[RedSoreLips]

@rabbitr0n Just another day shopping at Wal-Mart

[Mega9toes]

always comes back to this song in certain moments

[878commando]

242, ace!

[MarinoXDesun]

I'd probably tap that BBW

[melissawhyte]

@MarinoXDesun yeah but would she tap you.....

[hapt1K]

@MarinoXDesun probably

[schyzoprene36]

pour moi c'est leur meilleur periode tjrs un grd nostalgique de cette période

[djclintonk]

Video makes NO sense. What's with the fat chick? These guys are so gay and hot! But seriously, what's with the fat chick?

[rythum666]

@djclintonk ... its your mama ... lol

[Dancerphiliac]

@djclintonk The "fat chick" is a Dutch actress.

[UMENMDFMK]

Quite unusual. Memory of DM.

[perspectivehorizon]

this world is a redux reaction

[juanchankein1982]

nada menos q dirigido por Anton Corbjin quien ha dirigido a la mejor banda como es Depeche Mode , y tambien a U2 y otras bandas.

[FranckVillano]

Richard fait ses courses...

[jean62970]

this song goes straight in your brain like a bullet

[jaghoff]

Thats what happens when you get drunk and pork fat chicks. they hunt you down and haunt you.

[Sails470]

Very nice!

[Moony1397]

Lol, this is awesome! Both the video and the music. :D

I hope Industrial stays this way forever. Genuine and pristine, not that crap that goes hyper mainstream nowadays. *sighs* Why did my generation have to worship crappy music...?

[jltlz]

que tiempos que rola

[1981analog]

I love Anton's videos, they're always totally mental.

[andressilvavazquez]

Wow. I guess the video is not very good in order to highlight the music...

[NachtAngel242]

242 thousand ppl has viewed this, how poetic <3

Back when a band didn't have to beautiful nor have rehearsed steps to be successful! I love you ugly Belgian bastards, your music and videos are food for me. Yum!

[isaacnelson1234]

these 80s music videos are lame but the music isent bad

[migu9999]

ke chida esta esta rola, carbon!

[FFrrEEddRRiiKK1]

Classic.

[AttackShipOnFire]

She planned it. Sucker.
