Refused - Rather Be Dead LIVE

[jjwidvs]

The world might end in december, but atleast I get to see Refused in april.

[Cossfrack]

Bring on groezrock!!

So many bands have ripped them off (including my band to be fair). I genuinely think in some country's they would have been sentenced for witchcraft for how accurate the statement "the shape of punk to come" went on to be.

[tdrspence]

Coachella this year!

[ThunderExpress]

4 people suck hard

[underoath1794]

refused coming soon?

:o

[bobbygeisler]

holy fucking fuck. that's such a nice bass.. what i would give for that - i mean holy shit.

[TheClosestcontinuer]

@bobbygeisler

Capitalism is great. Refused doesn't seem to think so, though..

[SirJensen1997]

@TheClosestcontinuer Yeah, very great, the money before the people. -.-

[TheClosestcontinuer]

@SirJensen1997

I forgot that people still think capitalism is a zero sum game.

[TheSputnik666]

there sure gays

[despodork]

1:53 is PREPOSTEROUS'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[godlessization]

Best song ever

[ostattack]

This can very well be the best clip on youtube

[danceoffAsh]

The intro slowly wakes up the demon in me, Great song one of my biggest influence!

[songsxsound]

Grande Refused, saludos desde Chile.

[StraightPunkEdge93]

So much energy i can't handle it......

[KyleBrock13]

Too bad these guys never met me. I would have been their full time bass player

[thomasg7k]

refused is fucking dead, good show, good everything, 

[devilmaycry1421]

Refused should be fucking alive ...

[goawaiii]

@devilmaycry1421 Refused are fucking alive

[TheClosestcontinuer]

@devilmaycry1421

Your wish may be true.. they are touring for absolute sure. They have confirmed it. By touring, I may be using that term really loosely. They're playing a few shows. One of which is in a big fest in California in the states.

[mateusonese]

@devilmaycry1421 They are now... God save 2012.

[3amsleep]

RATHER BE DEAD THAN ALIVE BY YOUR OPPRESSION!

[3amsleep]

RATHER BE DEAD THAN ALIVE BY YOUR OPPRESION!

[obeytheory]

Refused are fucking dead.

[motaboy123]

@obeytheory

why are they doing this?

are they necrophiliac? =P

[pugfuglychris]

refused are fucking dead... and that is fucking sad... one of my all time favorite hardcore bands.

[samsjd]

Punishingly loud, slightly out of tune, brutally honest--perfect.

[spastic017]

their drummer is great

[mezzer94]

1:37 haha

[normanhate]

One of the best live bands ever..

[series360]

The 90s had some great frontmen look at at the drive in and refused great men now days the closed thing we have is pink eyes from fucked up and he is amazing

[Senses11111]

rumor is that they are making comeback in this summer...festivals all around the europe..

[worldnerds]

wow awesomeeeeeeeeeeee !

[xCoreyxMendrellax]

Don't thumbs down me, but, what is this song about? I have an idea, but i don't want to be interpreting it wrong.

[ostattack]

@xCoreyxMendrellax This is what Dennis wrote about it in 96:

"Growing up as a white middle-class kid in white middle-class Sweden meant I never really had to worry about the things I said or did, the ideals I took on, the parts I chose to play or the emotions I wanted to express. My "freedom" is something that I have always taken for granted.

[xCoreyxMendrellax]

@ostattack Thank you, it's better to listen to a song when you know what it's about. It brings more emotion to the already great song.

[ZAKROCKER93]

sXe 4 life

[DEATHBYGRACE]

REFUSED REUNION!!!!

[onionalive]

i wish!

[shazamwins]

I am the self proclaimed THEY, when you hear someone say "that's what they say" I am THEY - They speaketh: Refused and performances like these may never be seen again. If you are in a band, and can deliver 70% of this enthusiasm, and 55% of the songwriting- you may become THEY -hint: stop watching porn and start writing riffs, beats and vocals like this here.. signed ..they... peace

[ZAKROCKER93]

i wish these guys are back together

[jekyl31]

real punk band, awesome !!!!

[shazamwins]

Could this be any friggin heavier, nasty, and slick all at the same time ? I had to to try and "one up you" Gabbe...- nice work!

[Gabbe900630]

Something so rough steamed and dirty, but the same time so clean and beautiful, that's how i'd like to define Refused.

[des9206]

Damn @ that guy who went on stage and got pushed off. Those few seconds of being on the stage with Refused is well worth it.

[kingofdepew]

I like how he says "jur" instead of "your". Like Scarface. Fuck ju, mang!

[xandyxvx]

what a boring public

[holoday]

yeah i know but it's because it wasn't really a real hardcore show, it was for a very big annual radio-festival with all kinds of bands and very.. strict if you want it. You see the guy being pushed off the stage immidiatley.

I was there :)

[XXRavethedrummerXX]

They were so good...

[DASJOTUNHEIM666]

please get back together

[sillywalk000]

awesome ..... my favourite band ever

[00sven00sven00]

yeah, you can see where every frikken kid in the world got their floppy sideways hairdo from

[ArtEternal]

Pure awsomeness.

[spetsnazAK]

Oh fuck me....

[kfcheenuth]

ive done wat that guy did when he jumped on stage

[Dolebob]

lol i can see where cedric got his moves from

[johnmotorhead]

no, cedric take it from MC5

[frungahr]

one of my favorite bands, so so amazing live i wish i could have seen them while they were "still alive"

[originaljerkychew]

ya if u want communism ur a dumb fuck

[lillhornta]

wow! har Refused sänts på SVT??!!!

[JohanPersson]

Yes, har för mig att det var på Musikbyrån, minns att jag blev skitarg för att jag missade det!

[RobcsiMobcsi]

amazing performance

[travisstar]

the northen parts of sweden really know how to rock!

[hijodechucknorris]

Oh shit! this song is awsome

[waderrick]

if only communism could reign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[staticAcid]

Unfortunately humans are too egotistical for it to work. I sort of agree with you nonetheless.

[waderrick]

yeah for sure. the thought of communism is grand; however, corruption and blood shed always seems to seep. but the same goes with Democracy... just that democracy comes in a more settled down nation.

[za7ch]

And what "settled down nation" do you speak of? Surely not the U.S.

I don't think the millions of dead from its imperialism can say that it's a less corrupt/less blood shedding system.

[IkeWilkins]

So do i. Mostly. One thing thats crap about democracy, and more specifically capitalism, is there are corporate driven shit that is completely unnecessary and/or innneficient. Such as humans.

[BITCHASSMOTHERFUCKA]

..and the meatfactory BURNED 2 hours later! 25mil in damage;=X

[Drucilla1]

Jag var på den spelning..behöver jag säga hurbra den var?

[jamesyboy12345]

the world needs refused again

[willwoodward99]

amen

[jmehl77]

Damn straight dude, these guys fuckin'rebel, fuck, fuck, fuck!

[TrainOfThought93]

FUCK I LOVE THIS BAND!!

[youbasser]

I saw the (international) noise conspiracy this weekend. they are also very good

[wewillruckyou]

Fett!!!

[kockadomaci]

Refused,,,,,genius from SWE,,,,the hard core music never gonna be the same.

[reinbeerlove]

the shirt he's wearing is weird.

it's kinda puffy like..reminds me of shoulder pads..

eww..shoulder pads..

best song ever, i agree :)

[Aurileus5]

The truth is, under a communist system there is no way to price goods and services. Which leads to economic deterioration. Who cares though, Refused fucking rocks and whether or not you agree with them they know a shipload about politics and are true activists.

[YouCanCallMeJustin]

Refused were a great fucking band. Truly amazing. TSOPTC and STFTFOD are two of my fav albums ever. hXc punk will never be the same.

Refused were some true fucking political fucks though! Dennis sure knew what the fuck he was talking about! I don't 100% agree with a lot of their ideaoligy (sp?), but regardless...I can't deny that they didn't know what they were saying.

Refused are fucking dead :(

[myspoon13]

I don't have a clue why you got any negative points for your comment Aurileus5.

The vision Refused had was something really incredible, but communism could only ever work on a worldwide scale. If there is capitalism, there is greed and the whole ideal of equality is ruined. Maybe someday their vision will become a reality, but there's far too much greed in this world which is a shame.

Incredible, clever revolutionary band though.

[sceneXedge]

Yeah dude, I don't think communism will ever work. number one humans are way to corrupt and greedy to ever have communism work. And also I don't think people will ever be 100% equal to one another

[ridembs11]

you guys are gay for arguing.

best song ever

[bldsucker]

fuck your politics and just enjoy the music, you all don't know shit anyways. love this band could give a fuck about their politics, the music moves me. have your own idenity! not the artists.

[mynameisfiller]

so you're like a capitalist or?

[ostattack]

Capitaism is organized crime!

We are all victims!

[vikingRULES]

u are gay

[ostattack]

you are homofobic and gay

[vikingRULES]

if you can't even spell homophobic right, dont try to insult someone

[explodingcowstudios]

well you insulted somebody by telling him that he is gay

[vikingRULES]

yes, but i spell words correctly....the other guy did not

[ledzepplin291]

this whole argument is hilarious, so your're all gay

[xWinterslovex]

maybe he is, but he is totally right.

[WelcomeMaggots]

You ignorant cunts dont know anything about communism.

[sevenheadedunicorn]

BWHAHAHAHA. You all make me want to eat gummi bears.

[Jackthehammer123]

I've seen them live three times. All three times in Göteborg.

They kicked ass, but as I wrote earlier. I dislike thier belives, but their message is kick ass!

[minorxxthreat81]

Refused is one of my favorite bands, but in all honesty, I completely disagree with their political and philosophical view points. It's definately alot of marxist thoughts, calling capitalism "organized crime" and etc. Good music though, good band, refused are fucking dead.

[xWinterslovex]

A shitty band with a AWSOME plan!

[audiopixel]

Hurray for communism and mass murder! (stupid cunt)

[ostattack]

not the same thing (Mr. Imature)

[xWinterslovex]

You should really go and read a book or something.

[owlertheprowler]

i think you mixed communism and genocide bub.

[Jackthehammer123]

Agree to what you're saying. Good music, but shitty message.

[BITCHASSMOTHERFUCKA]

"rather be dead... kinda jihadish, & and I love it. prrrrraaaaaah

[sicvic91]

i fucking love the move that dennis does at 00.19....really cooooool hehe :).....Refused is an incredible band, and there sound is so fucking perfection, in my eyes. The lyrics the guitars everything that they stand for! (But i know his lyrics is also about like animal rights and stuff, and i can't say that im a vegetarian XD)

[redgood41]

GO VEGETARIAN DUDE. refused are my favourite band forever

[Juiceoncereal]

blah blah blah yeah everyone likes refused

[jimmytofu]

blah blah blah yeah, so what's your point?

[redgood41]

yer juiceoncereal fucking dick. anyway on the scale of things refused are quite unheard of in terms with the fucking common music fans.

[grinbergcolastra]

The only sad point about Refused is that they'll

never reunite again...

[ostattack]

i think thats just positive becuse it couldn ever be the same

[xWinterslovex]

Yeah im with you on that I never saw them live sense I was born 1990 but I really like them and I dont ever want them to reunite. But if they did I guess I would swollow my belifes and go...

Viva la revolution!

[YouCanCallMeJustin]

I think that a reunion would be great. HOWEVER. If there was, it should only be a tour, not a new album. After TSOPTC, I don't think theres possibly anything more that could come out of Refused. They put every little ounce of creativity and passion in that album, and thats why it is so fucking good, and would make no sense for them to put out another album because it just...wouldn't work. But reunion tour..? FUCK YEAH :D

[Telemacaster]

With new material apparently on the cards it could be interesting. Though I always got the impression that they'd never play together again. Thats what the Final Communique stated anyway.

[willwoodward99]

theyre all song writers, so they could write another great album easily. i agree that SOPTC would be a safe way to go as legends though.

[YouCanCallMeJustin]

Touche.

[SwedeAlanya]

Fan va bra dom är, och det fortfarande !

[xlazzarox]

To be alive....

[Twig6]

10 years already.

[5452972]

this was on the dvd

[unknownbleach]

not

[pooki82]

HELL YEAH!

[mutta12]

Only so know its my cousin that sings he names dennis lyxén hope his good :D

[dullen1337]

skeptisk Oo

[travisstar]

here's a fun fact, refused were going to play on the swedish show "söndags öppet", pop artists like ace of base,robin, etype and such are the minorty of the swedish music export. but when refused were asked to play there, someone come up with a deal that they were gonna do it playback, refused resisted first but after a while they said that they gonna do it, but they switched instruments and goofe'd around instead. thats hardcore!

[killyourhead]

Was this ever aired?

[YEE6]

i think it was actually

[Dalby81]

check top corner, looks like tv broadcast

[killyourhead]

Oh sorry, that was in response to "travisstar".

[Wiromax3]

@Dalby81

swedish tv station 2 (SVT2), year 1997! from a program called 'Musikbyrån'.

[beefymarauder]

I wish i could have seen them play. I was only 10 when "The Shape of..." was released. One of the best bands there has ever been. This truly was the shape of punk to come.

[TheConstant1]

tru dat, tru dat

[YouCanCallMeJustin]

I was only 5..

XD

[AndyGreat]

This is amazing!

[CharlesRClayton]

they're so fucking good live!

why was this 18+ on the other ones?

[dullen1337]

[CharlesRClayton]
