[iwantone2]

Where the fuck did the freddie kreuger fingers come from?

[ajpthree]

@iwantone2 aahahahahahahahahahha thats just rad.

[Soundgardener80]

Ironic, Christianity these days probably produces more Atheists than it does Christians,by way of being so primitive and irrational...if we in the west had more access to the other more plausible spiritual philosophies a long time ago there would'nt be nearly as many smart-assed atheists laughing in the face of wiser beings than themselves. Blame Christianity for that..

[MrFredmayhem]

Cro-Fags. 

[steezymack88]

@MrFredmayhem fuck you the band cro mags is sick go suck a dick

[hennoxxx]

and, as usual, only harley "blabbermouth" flanagan is talking.

same happened when we interviewed the CM's 2001 in hamburg/germany. blablabla....

poor john joseph, he never had a change to speak up

[deuschristiamor]

Cro Mags id say is my favorite band, ever. However there are good reasons to believe in a creator of the universe and someone who does is within their rational rights to think so.

[666scibi]

I would love to see the dalai lama stagediving or moshing! ;))

[dankcro]

people that have no idea about Krishna Consciousness help yourself and don't make any stupid comments please. Thank you

[MrWaltThizzney]

[NPMC206]

hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

did you see the freddy claw that he scratched his face with!

[C2CONTINUE]

I stage dived at church once, and landed on this old lady in a wheelchair. Opps! ;)

[Quozzzzzzzzzz]

Fuck Religion. 

[ubully666]

There is no god. Just human philosophers explaining their take on on why humans are not just a semi-intelligent animal.

[toddviv]

Well they broke the mould didn't they. A hari-krishna hardcore band. They were great-best wishes was the best. If you dickheads can't accept something a little different than your usual jerk-off hardcore formulas- WELL FUCCCCKKK YOUUUU!!! The people who enjoy hardcore seem to be some of the most narrow-minded people out there. Perhaps on the same level as a mormon. GET A LIFE

[alphamongrel]

I stage dived at a Niel Diamond concert once..

[AlwaysAgainstTheOdds]

True Hardcore Punk @ MTV ... today unbelievable..



[lordburzum]

fuck god, he did not create me, my dad's sperm and moms eggs did

you dumbfuck !!!

You heard of human nature, birds and the beasts ??

[62eatme]

@lordburzum Again! My friend..wHAT CAME FRIST THE CHICK OR THE EGG?

[nixedmuts]

@62eatme actually a primitive bird like creature evolved and adapted in a way that made laying eggs a safer way for the baby bird thingo to be born, people come from eggs but the egg didnt just appear did it?

[JohnnyGlomb]

the hosts's sweater just makes this.

[glimmeroftruth]

The leading exponents.....awesome!

[BubbaJazzy]

Age of Quarrel......Enough said!

[jrhcp31]

fuck mtv

[678Dylan678]

What a smart guy. That's all there is to it. If you faggots stop listening to them because he believes in god, then your a narrow minded ignorant shit head and hardcore will get on just fine without you.

[HangLoosecaca]

"i believe in god":

one more band i'm going to stop listenning to...

[noclassevan]

@HangLoosecaca how "rebellious"

[skatexandxannoy]

@HangLoosecaca ignorant

[62eatme]

@skatexandxannoy WHO, THE PEOPLE WITH AN OPEN MIND, OR THE DUMB FUCKS WHO BELIEVE INORANCE IS BLISS!, OR THE ASSHOLES WHO DON'T KNOW "TWO AND TWO ARE FOUR!"

[chadloe]

@HangLoosecaca

If you would of had knowledge about the band you would of known about their religious beliefs, and wouldnt of listened to them in the first place. By chance your not old enough to have been around in the beginning were you.

[Babaykiller1984]

@HangLoosecaca lol.. i hear you, BUT.. the music still remains. and the music is good. who cares what the band players believe... many of the 'i don't believe in god' bands have members who believe in even dumber shit.

[Ragedhard]

@HangLoosecaca

wow bro you sound hardcore

Not really, you sound like a fucking teenaged cunt who's only an atheist to scare mommy and daddy. And this is coming from an atheist.

[62eatme]

@HangLoosecaca BECAUSE OF THAT! YOUR GOING TO GO TO LADY GAGA INSTEAD?

[nigsvon]

Everyone just needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP on this video. Listen, there's no need for philosophical religious debate on an online video website.

What we should all be able to agree upon is that this is a great video exhibiting highly intelligent, engaged musicians discussing their beliefs deeply. Not to mention these guys play one of the most aggressive, brutish genres of music. It's just a great, eye opening video

[zakzero123]

i wouldnt of expected harley to believe in god.

i dont believe in religion but thats cool if he believes that bcuz he seems like a great guy.

[YOfrankie]

why not worry about whats in what its what they believe in

[deathcamps]

When you all stop pushing your so called Logic, Science and Atheism/Agnosticism (Which are all man made yet you put so much faith in them) in Hardcore I'll stop putting God in Hardcore....but wait! God is within everything and everyone so I couldn't do that if I tried.

[punkCDsampler]

God's man made too, bro.

[xSPLENDAx]

@deathcamps OMGZ CHECKMATE ATHEISTS SIQQ BURN

[Sundarananda108]

Keep God/religion out of hardcore?? Umm...ever hear of a little group called the Bad Brains? Have any idea where hardcore came from and who started it? "God" and religion have been w/hardcore from day one, moe. Sorry.

[gflteFresh]

"God" and religion have been w/hardcore from day one, moe. Sorry. "

God and religion have been w/hardcore from day one, you're right. "It" (God and religion) has never been, and never should be a part of hXc. Keep it separate. I don't mosh in your church, so don't pray in my pit.

[astrozombieX138]

Saw them last night!

[TheBigClock]

WHO CARES CRO-MAGS ARE THE BEST

[3stanthony]

Cro Mags on MTV?

[walleyekiller71]

Deism is the belief in a creator. The creation is the proof of a creator. Anything else is up to you to believe in

[mywarxxx]

God was created by man, pure and simple.

[TallFastLoud]

I'm also an atheist but can't we just let people believe what they want? As long as no one's shoving god in your face, why do you care if they happen to believe in him/her?

[mywarxxx]

Because I would like to see people thinking with logic and intelligently questioning everything.

[punkCDsampler]

Because believing in something for which there is absolutely no evidence for is a sign of a serious mental issue,a nd the fact that it's so widespread is, to say the least, disturbing.

[MrFailpuss]

@TallFastLoud

I agree, I disagree with religion but I don't bottle in peoples faces. Preachers do however, let people find religion, don't shove in their faces...no wonder christianity is so hated :L

[crimsonflax]

@TallFastLoud That would be a good idea, except that one of the main rules of the 3 biggest religions (which are all monotheistic and stem from the same source) is precisely to spread like a virus and kill those who disagree with you. When they can't kill you, they'll just influence the judiciary system, so laws that favors their faith will prevail. Their aim is to shove god on your face anyway they can, whether it's by talking about god directly, through laws or by brainwashing your kids.

[LubricatedSquirm]

@crimsonflax Great, but he's talking about Hare Krshna. Unless you mean to tell me the Cro-Mags have influence on our government and are secretly colluding to restrict freedom here and abroad through sinister legislation, I suggest you mind your own business when it comes to the faith of others, especially when they're not doing anything to harm you.

And yes, since it will invariably come up, I am an athiest as well, just not of the militant sort.

[Lodestar1977]

@mywarxxx I appreciate your opinion. But you will find many relgious or spirtual beleifs within the hardcore scene. In fact it is unavoidable. Giben most of HC message is about rising above adversity to be better people. More wise and intelligent. hat often means compassion and a sense of beleif in humaity. Which in turn relates to spirtual belifs. Didn't Raybeez write we will be united as one? How spritual is that? Raggin on relgion and such is understandable but the damage is from its misuse.

[lordburzum]

@mywarxxx fuck god, he did not create me, my dad's sperm and moms eggs did

you dumbfuck !!!

You heard of human nature, birds and the beasts ??

[MrNiggyPants]

@mywarxxx

simpleton

[Paddyllfixit]

@mywarxxx that's the God in organized religions u speak of. what about "the Creator" or "the Source" from which all life springs forth from?......the Elan Vital. or even the Fibonacci Sequence, or Sacred Geometry, or Metaton's Cube, or Vesica Pisces, or Mandelbrot Set, etc etc........there seems to be an intelligent grand design to life & Nature. If there are Laws of Physics, is there not a Lawmaker? I'm not here to change ur beliefs but another 20yrs of living may change it.

[Mahmood42978]

@mywarxxx who are you trying to convince here, us or yourself?

[62eatme]

@Mahmood42978 I don't think he knows himself!...Every lie he tells he believes...Poor Harley and John. Hey! John...You can do your own hair now...Yeah, They have this kit, you can put your wig on at home!!!

[thathoodedkid]

@mywarxxx i actually know harley quite well and he has never once tried to push god onto me (im atheist). hes a really cool guy

[backwoodsterrorist]

@mywarxxx fuuuuuuuuuck yooooooooooou

[TheManolakis]

@mywarxxx thanks for your worthless opinion.

[dankcro]

@mywarxxx you're an idiot ^^

[2OldSKOOLers]

@dankcro No, he's smarter than you

[dankcro]

@mywarxxx Hinduistic view of god is far more different than your own, because all you smart ass atheist came out from Christianity and now you think you know it all... pssh look up cosmos in dictionary and then explain it to me where did all the order come from.

[roamnet]

Some of my friends have went and joined the service

They are ready to kill and die not sure for what purpose

Play station generation-Remember Vietnam?

Make sure this time around you refuse to go when called upon

Opium of the People I see it in the streets

You soften up your head they filled it up with shit!

[roamnet]

@62eatme my son,learn to spell at least a little so your scribbles make sense..what was I?AN A MAN? What the fuck is that?

[roamnet]

OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE

Some of my friends have joined religious cults

No matter what you call it leads to the same results

Memorizing and reciting make sure you fix that smile

Justifiable rip offs 'cause God is on your side?

Chorus:

Relax in the safety of your own illusions

Your Gurus are con men that feed on your delusions

Opium of the People I see it in your eyes

You soften up your head they filled it up with lies!

[thomasanddiesel]

all of the religions direct to one thing The Lord, our God and we all follow different paths of religions which lead to one thing The Lord

[sandihume]

Prabhupada, the leader of the Krishna conscious movenment says it is different from hinduism. 'Hindu' is a term created by the muslims a few hundred years ago. it isnt in any of the scriptures.

Furthermore it is non sectarianism anyone can join in

[bbig1207]

these guys were pussies there skinhead fans were tough for asshole skinheads! best show I ever went to

[IHavebuttCancer]

Back in the day these guys were some tough motherfuckers

[madusmaggot666]

what the hell are these great guys doing on this crapshow called mtv?

[jpcancela]

yeah loool wtf?

[uburei]

This dude looks like GODRIC!

[merkywave]

hare krsna!

[rocknrollover1234]

Mad Respect all Over. Not only does he devote himself to something, he has the kruger glove on in an interview. Thats just kewl.

[navaerick69bb]

00:54 HAHAHAH wtf?

[capmkrob]

Music and spirituality are always going to have some kind of connection. Of course, some people will be confused by it and feel the need to criticize. I first saw the cover art for Best Wishes in '90, I thought it was the Hare Krishna version of Hell. A few years later I was living in a Krishna temple as a monk. It was a good time actually, but I'm no longer a practicing devotee. But I can tell you there are some hilariously ignorant commments on here about the Krishnas and Hinduism. Typical.

[666Desolate999]

I can relate to it..i am as one would say like a jekel and hide personality..yet i have learned that being in contol of that rage..and to focus and hone that energy is very powerful.. i can only truly meditate when I listen to black metal ... i have realised that things like Darkthrone's blaze in the northern sky is my Mantra and I cant force anything else like the sound of trees or ocean.

[touches2much]

you are a reptile man like me. you need to recognize the spirituality of the mr hyde side to your person. adrenaline puts you into a state of mind thats like the polar opposite of meditation, which ironically makes it very similar in its function. you just need an outlet that doesnt hurt other people

[elementx2z]

dressing rooms...ha!

[Elephant379]

MTV hahaha Steve fuckin Blame, man...

[gunsofbrixton23]

what can I say to someone whose nickname is NascarandChicks? I mean really now you're nothing but a racist hick that gives Americans a bad name and tw I have no idea what you insult me about the thing about Cromags or the stuff I said to joespinelessbuster? Make up ur mind forrest gump, make up your mind!

[dogshitfarts]

I was in the nyhc scene you were not

end of story

[redshaftedflicker]

This is hilarious!

[gunsofbrixton23]

joespinebuster you do realise that bringing up someone's race or colour is retarded in this matter. I live in canada, I'm originally from eastern europe and trust me all the "cool" non-whites here got nothing on the white guys back home in terms of how bad ass and tough they are. so save your black-ass kissing for another day.

[joespinebuster]

The interviewers' jumpers here stand as true video evidence that MTV never has been and never will be run or operated by anyone with even a hint of streetwise attitude about them, no matter how hard they try to convince you otherwise. Snooty white guys trying to make some money, that's all it ever will be.

[Karunasound]

if u don't know what u are talking about and have no idea who u are or who is god, it's only normal that u will criticize those who believe...and know sth about it... blessings

for those who like the hard-side of mery... we are working on new material named Karuna!!!

please check our sound and leave a comment!!!

blessings

:-) bnd

[GrottyWanker69]

Most of you are a bunch of hypocrites. Assuming everyone religious is a fanatic or close minded is just as ignorant as the assholes who bomb abortion clinics.

[trolleywire]

God is Rad!!

[ThomasRowsell]

but which one?

[ajvarofdoom]

yea. every religion is bullshit

[gunsofbrixton23]

first i gotta say i love cro-mags but their idiotic religious stuff is laughable and frankly kinda snobby, and these types of ppl who dump christianity or judaism for hinduism an islam or buddhism are bullshit ppl who wanna be part of a bigger community buy into that whole " let's be open-minded" for the sake of being open-minded when the reality is that religion is anything but open-minded. by the way a lot of hindu groups advocate burning women as punishment. ain't that enlightment.

[fiend1111]

Have you ever looked into Buddhism? How about Janism? Shintoism? Rastafarian-ism? And I mean actually studied it.

Saying that religion is not open-minded and claiming that you are, is a hypocrisy. Study before you claim things.

And I want to see news articles where it says that the Hindus burned women.

[hoosrnight]

all religoin sucks

[BrianKehoe138]

religion is there for you to take elements from it to improve your life and mind. its only the extremists in any religion that give it a bad name. fundamental and creationists are the worst advertisement for religion. I believe in god, i dont practise, i should though, and I know that approaching a religion (regardless of which one) the right way can be an enlightening thing.

[NegativeFace]

Hinduism is shit. Same as any other religion.

[HARKE90]

true and believe it or not i think that its even worse than christianity. i mean i have lived in that region for almost 8 years, and i know from experience that its full of bullshit prefrences for one kind of people, segregation. i mean maybe these guys followed they didn't really experience it like i did. but cro mags rule none the less.

[ThomasRowsell]

Hinduism is awesome

[NegativeFace]

No, hinduism is still crap. Just because someone in a hardcore band you like took it on doesn't mean it's something enlightened. It is crap. Totally, and quite absolute in it's totality....crap

[ThomasRowsell]

It is the oldest religion. It is the only religion not made for slaves. Krishna said to the warrior - you must fight if it is in your nature to do so. My interest in Hinduism stems from Nietzsche not Flanagan.

[NegativeFace]

Oldest religion? is this proven?All religion is made for slaves. the only difference is that it appears to be a somewhat undefineable religion. Because it is old doesn't mean it is all knowing. Can you not use your mind to find your own peace? Why religion? And out of curiosity, why did you choose to quote a warrior must fight if it is in their nature to do so? Not very peaceful. I can't say Nietzsche would be a motivating factor in my quest to find religion either. he was quite critical of it

[ThomasRowsell]

Obviously there were others before Hinduism - but it is the oldest of the main religions practised in the world today by a long way.

Nothing is all knowing. I do seek my own answers but realise no man is an island.

I am not a pacifist. I am not a hindu, but i respect hinduism and Hindus more than people who worship slave religions. Hinduism was not founded by slaves so is not a slave religion.

Nietzche was critical of Christianity, He respected Muslims kind of and was very fond of Hinduism

[NegativeFace]

religion is just a hope for the people who have not come to terms with the possibility that this life is it. For some, religion was a philosophy that developed into religion, for others it is just more crap to be swallowed without question. why are you so obsessed with slave religion? Because hinduism is the 3rd largest religion, and not a slave religion, it somehow is easier to take? why would Nietzsche respect islam when it is drawn from christianity? On the pacifism comment, my wander is..

[plumbshew]

or, quite possibly, SPIRITUALITY is the PROOF that God is very real and loves us. Love is something that most people think is weird, it shows how far off we really are from where we need to be with God. Here my thing...the bible says you need to believe that Christ died for your sins and repent...thats it. Once you get to that point, its like any other relationship. If you get married and want it to work, you sacrifice and spend time with your husband or wife. Same with God.

[plumbshew]

The belief in God is not a cop out as you put it. I dont believe in a lie because I want to believe in something...that would be the biggest waste of my time. 48 times in the old testament in many different books, Jesus is prophesied about. The chances of just 8 of those prophesies coming true are one in a million million million million million billions. Meaning, if you took that amount of silver dollars and threw them in Texas, it would be 2 foot deep. The chances of JUST 8 of those prophesies

[NegativeFace]

I don't believe in the bible, so please don't use it as a tool in argument. Regardless of what it says, it doesn't mean it's the word of a god. Keep god out of HARDCORE

[NegativeFace]

..how the "warrior" aspect came into this conversation at all. Maybe you found it fitting considering you are a fighter of sorts, but in the whole of this debate, it is irrelevant. Since you respect hinduism, and hindus more than slave religions, do you have much respect for anarchists? they also seek their own path, free of restriction, yet typically they are anti religion. Since India is predominantly hindu, how do you explain hindu factions trying to overtake sri lanka? That is enslavement?

[unbridledenthusiasm]

For real.

[straightoutofsb]

omg this is sooo old.hahaha amazing.

[tzzlite]

Cro Mags rule!! Hinduism is the best religion out there! Way to go Cro Mags!!

[ManuelHung]

"best religion" - the magnitude of stupidity is epic

[razorv3]

the guy looks like a faggot

[ccbayer]

HAHAH why the hell was he wearing a freddy kruger glove hahahahha

[AJtheory]

He was wearing a 'freddy kruger' glove, because he followed Hare Krishna...that's what its followers do...where do you think freddy got it from? What, do you think he made it himself?

[maritoloser]

wuajajajajajajajajaja

[TheMedium79]

[PRETALIATION]

[bixxl]

Harley goes to my braz. jiu jitsu academy i never knew he was in a band until recently  his music is pretty kik ass.

[mikesangle]

good stuff.

to download the CRO-MAGS demo from 1982 with Eric Casanova on the mic run eMule and scan for MIKESANGLE ...

[elgrano]

Mike thanks for putting that up, but I'm 95% sure that is Harley...Harley offered these 1982 demo songs up on the Harley's War release a couple of years ago, and the credits stated he was singing and playing instruments.

[mikesangle]

elgrano, you're right. mea culpa. harley told me already it was him. hope you enjoyed the other releases on my blog.

[shawnme08]

90ALONSO90 Your A Fucking Dick!

[blu3shock]

he works for mtv case closed.

[FastcoreMonk]

world peace, ouch.

[vasarian]

YES Harley's view on God is one of the best things I heard him say - it's great to see that John Joseph is following up these das with BLOODCLOT - best hardcore I've heard in a long time!

[ItsTheLimitRecs]

huh? gang? trafficking drugs and weird sex rituals? Dude, that is just straight up ignorant.

And Krishna stole hardcore? Krishna was invloved w/ NYHC pretty much from the get go. Get a clue man.

[AL6025]

dude its true ,the only ignorant are you,check it in th web

[SPOILERBTC]

sick glove

[Vamppi666]

ye that's brutal

[16MR]

I like Harleys Comments on God.Not a Krishna,but an old Skin who took a Spiritual path.

[fuckyouboob]

what year was this? Looks like 87?? JJ is still with the band but hard to tell, Harley can you clear this up for me?
