This is not about rape, you dumb -fuck. Listen closer. Or, maybe you weren't there and want to pass judgement all these years later. Either way, shut up and dance. Or not.
i remember x opened a show for pearl jamin the 90's,they were aquick replacment for the vandals,the grunge rockers had no idea what to make of x,not one person had a clue how bitchin this band is
They are the doors, I can totally hear it. It's the same guardian angel. I hear the doors! Even deep into the songs, my pea brain thinks the same pea brain thoughts as listening to the doors!
I was in my 20's during the 1979-1983 punk rock era. Most members of hard-core punk bands were either very angry/cynical in their appearance or had a disinterested hypnotic look. In this clip, it was really good to see how much fun John Doe & Billy Zoom were having performing for a small club audience.
@luhelvis Why does a song have to be for or against anything? It's telling a story. Like acting; if an actor plays the role of Hitler, doesn't mean the actor agrees with Hitler's ideas.
@TheKillaComa The song is AGAINST RAPE! John Doe declared in an interview that they decided to never play it again when they realized that people misunderstood the lyrics.
ouch I miss the good old days, Billy Zoom stare out at you forever, never look at his guitar. These were the days when conspiracy was hidden, unlike today where it is in everyone's freaking toad face, and still the zombies will never waken. Only punks belong in heaven
X has got to be the most unconventional punk band I've ever seen. Most punk bands were loud three chord rock with inspid lyrics and questionable talent. Not the case with X. Who ever jeard of a punk band with harmonies? Some of their songs have a straight up early rockabilly feel. Punk isn't supposed to be this complex, and these four are innovators and geniuses to boot, and fuckin' Billy Zoom is just straight up badass!
Don't forget DJ -- one of the great rock & roll drummers of all time. Every beat on purpose, always at the service of the song. Wonderful musicians, all of 'em!
seattle? Not bad... I saw them 9 times in the early 80's-- 6 in LA and the rest in San Diego. Nothing in the world can compare to being in the pit when they start their next number and it's Johnie hit and runPauline! Sheer energy!
There are not many event more memorable than seeing X during the early 80s, especially in Seattle! The movie stands out as a life altering experience...
Remember that tune about that lousy night in Cleveland on Big Black Sun??? I was one of the only 40 people there!!! I was on the warm-up band's guest list (The Adults, Crystal Grey, Rob Harpy, Paul Michael t!!) X played at the old Pirate's Cove in Cleveland, what was it, 85 or 86, the Adult's warmed-up, and even though there were only 40 people there, it was still in my top 20 shows of my life all time. It was like a private party!!! No reason to feel down about that show, it was great!!!

Holeee Shit! Thats the guy that played the part of Jerry Lee Lewis' cousin in Great Balls of Fire...and was also Jerry's, (Dennis Quaid), bass player in the movie. HAd a great line in it I always loved...about getting a bride; "yep, gotta get 'em young and raise 'em up just like you would a bird dawg"...unfortunately for him, in the movie, it was his 13 year old daughter and Jerry's cousin, that married Jerry Lee across state lines. She was played by Wynona Ryder. Great flick.
saw them open up for 'the motels' funny how real music lasts. never hear about the motels anymore... oh yeah los lobos came on first and they had the whole place (long beach arena) dancing
@plimsoul222 Actually, Zoom and Doe are huge into Rockabilly, always were. Both are close friends of Dave Alvin, how did work with both after the initial breakup of X.
GREAT SONG, GREATER BAND!! seen them live 10 + times now. sorry about exenes health. wish that she could play forever!! but if the worst comes to pass and she can't i really hope that they think about giving the Lady Gaga a call to fill in for her. it takes a great singer to fill another great singers shoes and the Mother Monster can do it!!!
Saw them at the On Broadway Theatre in the early 80's. Very intimate venue, now sadly gone. I was in the front row and could see up Exene's tartan mini-skirt. John Doe seemed very protective of her. After they had a little success, saw them at the Kabuki Night Club. A larger venue which is now a movie theatre.
its good to see you all love billy. back in the day, there was this weird resentment about him - probably because he was so cool. when I saw them back in 82, boneheaded guys (like some of you) bellowed "fuck you billy" all night long.

i think they should get rid of the chick. all she does is backup vocals anyway it seems. she doesnt even do an instrument. john doe and billy zoom and the drummer are all the band needs
@1JAT1 While the rest of the band is great, Exene's off the wall harmonies is what puts them over the top and sets them apart. They wouldn't be X without Exene.
Truly one of , if not the best American band. Timeless as is genius, talent evidenced, the best band Ive ever seen live, i lived in W LA in the 70's, it was another time many never made it through, excess was best was the motto.
If you listen to the audio from the soundtrack album while watching this video, you can tell they must have gone back in the studio and done a little overdubbing here and there.
Absolutely the best fuckin' American rock and roll band to never get played on commercial radio for the past 30 years and I will love 'em until the day I die ! As far as I'm concerned they belong right up there with the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Creedence and any and every other group of musicians who were/are capable of reducing you to tears of undiluted joy...
I'm still pissed Johnny didn't get nominated for his work in "Roadhouse". I actually said that to him when I met him after a show and he put me in a headlock and made me say "uncle John". Classic.
I think the dissonant harmonies between John and Exene are either hit or miss with most people. I think the song would be boring without Exene's vocals.
Man you nailed it! as to disonant harmonies, but Billy Zoom, Boring???? right,
his guitar can wake the dead its so bad!! i dig his coolness, He'd be jamming, and like a rock stance , not flipping and knocking crap around like hes walking on hot coals! and the head just went back and forth as a robot I remember thikingm must have had Ludes then! lol.
@kdgrayson1 I wasn't calling Billy Zoom boring at all. I just think this song would be a lot duller without Exene's vocals. I don't know about you, but when I listen to this song, the hook is when Exene's vocals come in. More so at the end of the second verse than the chorus. Billy Zoom is a very good guitarist and probably much better than any other punk guitarist that there's been.
@lendryesky Have you ever heard Billy when he is playing Rockabilly or Jazz? Jesus, this guy is a MONSTER guitar player. And he makes his own amps! Heard that is how he supplemented his income doing tech work. As far as any other punk guitarist goes, Billy was almost ALWAYS in tune. I don't think most punk guitarists really care about that.
@maclennan73 True, but that was part of the whole punk 'thing', the antithesis of polished, produced music. I am not trying to be judgmental here, I have a real love of that music. I grew up on the Dolls(still out there), X (recently drove 16 hours round trip to see them in the twin cities), The Dead Boys, and one of my all time fave bands, the Sex Pistols. I'm a knuckle dragger!
lol ok jesus im sorry. i jus forgot her name. i knew that it had and x n it. dont gang up on me jus cuz i didnt know her name. i love this song neways so sheesh

Truly one of , if not the best American band. Timeless as is genius, talent evidenced, the best band Ive ever seen live, i lived in W LA in the 70's, it was another time many never made it through, excess was best was the motto.

If you listen to the audio from the soundtrack album while watching this video, you can tell they must have gone back in the studio and done a little overdubbing here and there.

Absolutely the best fuckin' American rock and roll band to never get played on commercial radio for the past 30 years and I will love 'em until the day I die ! As far as I'm concerned they belong right up there with the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Creedence and any and every other group of musicians who were/are capable of reducing you to tears of undiluted joy...

never forget seeing the Decline for the first time and being blown away by X (and Germs, CJs, Flag, Fear) raw stuff!

I'm still pissed Johnny didn't get nominated for his work in "Roadhouse". I actually said that to him when I met him after a show and he put me in a headlock and made me say "uncle John". Classic.

I think the dissonant harmonies between John and Exene are either hit or miss with most people. I think the song would be boring without Exene's vocals.

Man you nailed it! as to disonant harmonies, but Billy Zoom, Boring???? right,
his guitar can wake the dead its so bad!! i dig his coolness, He'd be jamming, and like a rock stance , not flipping and knocking crap around like hes walking on hot coals! and the head just went back and forth as a robot I remember thikingm must have had Ludes then! lol.

@kdgrayson1 I wasn't calling Billy Zoom boring at all. I just think this song would be a lot duller without Exene's vocals. I don't know about you, but when I listen to this song, the hook is when Exene's vocals come in. More so at the end of the second verse than the chorus. Billy Zoom is a very good guitarist and probably much better than any other punk guitarist that there's been.

@lendryesky Have you ever heard Billy when he is playing Rockabilly or Jazz? Jesus, this guy is a MONSTER guitar player. And he makes his own amps! Heard that is how he supplemented his income doing tech work. As far as any other punk guitarist goes, Billy was almost ALWAYS in tune. I don't think most punk guitarists really care about that.

@tatsandteles It depends as some could actually play, not all were playing three chords!

@maclennan73 True, but that was part of the whole punk 'thing', the antithesis of polished, produced music. I am not trying to be judgmental here, I have a real love of that music. I grew up on the Dolls(still out there), X (recently drove 16 hours round trip to see them in the twin cities), The Dead Boys, and one of my all time fave bands, the Sex Pistols. I'm a knuckle dragger!

@maclennan73 Hey assclown , if you can play 1/2 as well, you wouldnt be a troll hating a Rock Star!

@YewLogs026 Yes. I think he does all of Brian Setzers amps as well. At least I know he USED to. Smart guy, great player.
