Old school HXC for life!

[dualityofmen22]

Things are hidden to the world around me

@ratjac Hey man! Any chance you may have, or have access to, any of that classic footage? We're always trying to find anything we're missing. Especially that old 'Cuckoo's Nest' doc from back in the day. Nick

[mondocaneman]

...wow...the good old days...old memories!

[TheRhythmBlade]

the GREAT DAYS!

[MicRidget]

Nowadays if kids gonna...äh....'dance' on HC shows, they try to keep their fucking shirt clean and don't wanna get seriously hurt. Remember the days, when I wrote some Bands on a shirt ( loooong time bevor fucking Hot Topic ), went to a show, get pissed and sniffing, feeling the energy and power of songs like this ( still love the 'Dance with me'-LP ) and JUMPING IN THE PIT...... well, sometimes wonder i am still alive.

[sniper1212]

does anyone in l.a. or near it have a hardcore band ive started one but there not many bands like us left

[gsan1]

That sh*t is RAW!! back in those days if u fell down in the pit, no one helped ya back up...you had to survive! I too miss the cuckoos nest!

[hardcorerocc]

YEa I I Remember I went home with a bloody nose and bruises it was awesome.

[fireblast111]

I have been to plenty of shows where no one was helped up in the pit =)

[JupiterSKin]

Me and my friends Gavin Baker, Mike Campbell and Mike Martinez are in this....good memories of the Nest.

[LevonsWound]

@JupiterSKin

Jupiter,

I just heard Mike passed, you're talking about "Big Mike Campbell" correct?

I was in a few bands in the Badlands back in the early 80's.

Identify yourself, do you know CR, SA, MA etc

[JupiterSKin]

@LevonsWound , sent you a msg on your channel....

[clovislupin]

This is great; makes me feel old.

I never noticed that this song is almost identical to Richie Dagger by the Germs.

[crissbones]

Holy crap! I've never seen pits this violent! Those kids are throwing punches and moshing at the same time! Pure Anarchy!

Forget the golden age of punk, this is platinum!

[FvckYourAmerica]

ty blank tv for posting this :D

tsol is one of my favorite bands and i always wanted to see how real pits were back in the 80's

[neurocytohemotoxic]

Hardcore motherfucker!

[ManilaSyndicate]

Good song and they were a pretty rippin' live band too.

[MrChattyO]

Ahhh, this is from "Battle at the Cuckoos Nest", great footage of TSOL, Black Flag and the Circle Jerks from 1981!!!

[RippingFadedSmiles]

What a grat intro.

HC punk with an obscure wave taste.

can't ask for anything better.

Defintely

[sdsurfers]

grew up w/this band...this and the originals are the ONLY punk rock ever. Look at the pit...all the kids dream of this kind of shit from back then. give me liberty or go fuck yourselves @holes!

[TOGGGAA1]

SKANKIN

[omgpandasss]

If you yall wanna see the whole movie, look up urban struggle all the parts are on youtube. I believe this was in part 2.

[DirtyRottenInsult]

This is real hardcore.

[yoyomapenis]

good song. i miss the 80's

[Peter07Pal]

just saw them live, amazing, fucking the pit was insane.

[humanoflife]

whats that intro song called?

[Henspert]

it is the triangle

[TheMisfit1994]

I was wrong it is the triangle

[sullivan28779]

this is not the triangle dude.

[NoMorePunk]

what's So.Cal ?

[grapsta]

southern california

[robjirasama]

Hmmm...I was under the impression that most of the band was from the LBC. Why can't you all just be happy with the Adolescents?

[sullivan28779]

Nope. HB.

[ASPKILLS]

who calls it the huntington beach strut!? HB STRUT!

[misfitwarrior]

fuck yeah man! Good ol hardcore punk!

[skinhead5]

The circle mosh pit was a New York creation. This is So.Cal. Do the Huntington beach strut.

[Henspert]

Mosh Pit??? There was never a term when punk was raw. Slamming in LA/OC was quite different back then. Today's Pit looks arcane. If I could count the cuts, bruises and black eyes between myself and my cousin just to TSOL alone...

Mosh Pit, Nel Carter - Gimme a Break!

[skinhead5]

I know that. That is what the new york kids called it.They were the ones that danced that way. But us So.Cal kids did the Huntington beach strut.Patrik Goldstein of the LA Times called it the Slam and that is how the name was changed.

[Henspert]

Oh, I see. thanks for the trivia.

[DirtyRottenInsult]

I remember when pits used to be like that, now there perty much all faggy air punching contests.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

New pits are for fags.

[DirtyRottenInsult]

Agreed hardcore kids ruin pits. There too busy trying to look cool.

[sullivan28779]

Agreed. now "hardcore" kids are far from hardcore. Now "hardcore" is just fake ass metal. At least in LA and OC real hardcore went back to being "punk rock" to disassociate ourselves from fake ass emo metal bullshit.

[DirtyRottenInsult]

Thats good, what are some good bands in the scene out there?

[SSDecontrol94]

hey yo

check out

skull stomp

e.coli

kilgore

[pistolwhipmcgee]

I saw Crucial Cause in Richmond, California. They were awesome.

[ABMayweather]

@sullivan28779 I'm from orange county to. Agent Orange came from my high school and the school across the street who hates us the adolescents came from

[eerawb]

@DirtyRottenInsult

hardcore kids today fight invisible ninjas....

real hardcore kids fought each other

[PRETALIATION]

@DirtyRottenInsult AGREED - these kids are still dancing -- as messing and aggressive as it looks.

Nowadays it's just a punching contest.

When I was a kid that kinda 'dancing' woulda been dealt with rapidly.

THE SCENE IS DEAD LONG LIVE THE SCENE

[TheTrainRex]

@PRETALIATION I went to see GBH recently and I really didn't want to mosh cause your right it really is just a punching contest, so i started pogoing instead and other people started doing it too it was awesome.

[PRETALIATION]

@TheTrainRex - Much better way to enjoy the show - Glad you had a good time.

''I'm a sick boy - and there's no cure !''

[JustynKiddo]

@TheTrainRex I saw GBH in July. Huge circle pit and lots of stage diving. I had an epic fail moment stage diving, I sorta pencil jumped. Everyone moved and I landed hard on my knee.

[xwanaseemedisco]

[qoph29]

great band. thanks for posting!

[joshmad]

brutal pit

[COLOSSALYOUTHmusic]

That reminds of the pit i was in went i went to see Mudhoney a couples of weeks ago.

[theonlytruepunk]

hahahahahahaha...I don't think so.

[Misfits655]

arguing with yourself?

[theonlytruepunk]

If you read the comment above my previous comment, you will notice that someone stated "that reminds me of the pit i was in went(when) i went to see Mudhoney". I laughed, hahahahaha and said, "I don't think so". In other words the "pit" nowadays is nothing like it was in the early 1980's. There was no circle then, it was pure chaos...

[sxepunk336]

yeah circle pits get really boring really fast. i've been in several pits that are just a bit less crazy then the one in this video. no way fest(an east coast hardcore punk two day show) was fucking mayhem

[theonlytruepunk]

That's cool.

[akboy1]

michael?

[sxepunk336]

FB, we meet again

[akboy1]
