I never had any idols to kill.

[SYR81]

suicide is amazing, every time i listen to them i just think of how grungy new york is and all the dark trashy street's at night full of junkies and crazy shit going on that new york tends to hide.

[msnikish11]

[VJnumber1]

I shot this footage in 1980 at Hurrah. I have a few projects planned to include this footage in a full concert release on DVD as well as an electronic mix of Hurrah performances. I hope to get some of these projects done this year.

[LustForHate]

One sold for sure! It's about time someone release a Suicide DVD. I really hope this project will be completed soon. Incredible footage!

[michealdark]

I hope you do. Suicide were so largely influential (I hear traces of them in every No Wave and Industrial band and even most Electronica acts), but they're so largely forgotten today. And that whole Evil Elvis thing? Vega had that down in like '71! Long before Danzig!

[INITIALSJE]

@VJnumber1 Very nice. Were you the one that did kill your idols?

[heshter]

This is IT !

[castingtherunes]

They'll drum him to death. I'm a Viet Vet. YOU OWE ME A DEBT!!

[cowboystitching]

What is the first song they're playing?

[gododinou]

The song is the Suicide Hit: GHOSTRIDER

[cowboystitching]

That's the second song. The first one has a different melody, rythm, and lyrics. And I still don't know what it is.

[gododinou]

Oups sorry. The first song is 'RADIATION'.

[steinber]

Holy shit! That footage is gorgeous...

[joechill1]

We need that color concert footage released on DVD. Fucking outrageous.

[jakkenton]

Damn right

[glitchesandglitter]

why can't i see more of this footage!?

[clonazepunk77]

ke tal finkin chevere lo de suicide lastima ke sea muy poco , no se si podrias colgar mas material e info en video de esta gran banda , graciax por la atención

[Animalll2003lll]

nice. what year is the music we hear in this??

[gododinou]

Probably 1980. Martin have the Prophet Keyboard (after the Farfisa Organ) and the sound is not harsh as the begining. Look for the 'Ghost Rider' live CD on Roir it's the same sound and the same atmosphere.

[erixoff]

A damn good live recording !

Incredible energy with only a voice (and what voice !) and a synth / drum machine...

[fearlesssockpuppet]

Yomofo, this kick ass!

[eraser81112]

awesome.
