Bands like this will never get recognition due to the fact that the newer bullshit is just a cheap rip off of original bands like these. And they will never give these bands their due.
This is truly one of the best songs from back in the day. A damn shame it didnt make them huge. Funny seeing as I listen to QOTSA now and Joey Castillo is now their drummer.
Ballz out double kick through almost the entire song. I couldn't even find this on Youtube not that long ago. Thanks for the upload. One of the most under rated "Thrash" bands ever. They used to just be straight up punk, but like DRI made the change to a more structured and complex band. Loved the change and still love this tune almost 20 years later...
I never understood how this song never made these guys huge. My first band and I covered this back in the day. If anyone is interested in doing a little online collaboration and covering this, drop me a line.
@1xtra411 lol, i saw it on the pepsi power hour too, was lucky enough to have the vcr recording the show at the time, always loved this song, still do so many years later!
Whether it be Hardcore Punk or Thrash Metal, Wasted Youth is cool. It's a shame they don't get enough recognition. But then again, Hardcore and Thrash are BOTH underground genres.
How Ironic...,(short-haired,punk) band dissolves into the same (long-hair) crap that made them exist in the first place.."Metal's In" and were gone for good !...long live Scranny !!!!
Wasted Youth did Reagans In and then the original guitar player from Reagans In got together with the guy you see singing in this video and did "Get Out of My Yard" with other new players.
This was the third album (minus original guitarist) leaving no direct connection to the original band.
To call this band Wasted Youth is VERY MUCH dubious. I believe their name should have changed. The punk band that did Reagens In was a brilliant punk band (and I say that admitting I DO LIKE this).
Kwolf68, you are mostly correct except for one thing: The third album "Black Daze," including this song, still featured the original guitarist Chett Lehrer -- but instead of playing lead guitar he was playing rhythm guitar.
I played guitar for WY at Fenders in April 1987. They were transitioning from punk to metal. Stll have those reheasal tapes. You can hear the boombox melting........the ringing in my ears is still there.....
Wasted youth last gig was at the Venue december 1983,they were never a punk band they were the coming of goth,,i am from there label bridge houise like to here the recording you have,and who else was playing on the recordings
how come this is the only vid posted by this band?..isnt there more out there?..that was such a great album for its time..and yeah it was only good album by this band i can remember.
Damn, I can't even tell which one is Dave. If its him doing the solo near the end, then damn, he should get in on more soloing spots in VR songs and shows. I've seen em' 3 times and he's always surprised me. When you hear a solo you're always expecting it to be Slash... but when they do Vasoline it's nice to hear a Dave solo for once. And this is coming from a huge Slash fan! Dave's great though.
Rick Seccombe was the lead guitarist and played all the solos. He the one with the flannel shirt on for most of the video. All the mud scenes were filmed in his backyard. Ahhh...the good ol' daze.
I remember seeing them w/Last Round Up at the Balboa Theater in L.A. Good speed metal but they should've changed the band name. Reagan's In still my fave. The Black Daze album was still way better than the sucky Brats in Battalions.
the guy at 0:37 is fuckin classic with that little jig in the mud he does
