ADOLESCENTS 'Rip It Up' / 'Word Attack'

[NastyNorseman]

Real...Punk....Rock, nothing compares, SxDx, D.I., Sex Pistols

Circle Jerks and these kats to name a few were the shit. You just don' t hear good ole fashion hard core shit anymore.....

[BarrioPunkRock]

@NastyNorseman its underground bro , around my small community its banging , but on the lowdown

[gkooooz]

hell yeah punk rock at its finest ---southbay punx rule biotch ---fuck huntinton skins man ---hermosa punx rule --hahahahahaha

[mcgstudmuffin]

anyone know how old tony is in this? he looks like 13...

[BarrioPunkRock]

@mcgstudmuffin 18 or 19 idk

[trimblecarbon]

Check out the guy who gets kicked in the nads at ~39s.  Ouch!

[ExhumedAnatomy]

It's not "we'll attack", it's "word attack".

[sidneyvicious92]

@ExhumedAnatomy they say we'll attack in the song tho

[demfoolz]

A+

[OppositesEverything]

This is the best band ever

[Uatrocity]

I was at that show, fuckin' amazing energy, I was a kid at the

time and it sure felt right.....!!!One spark among many!!!

[Jazon999]

ugh. that last chorus with him getting thrown back onto stage... thats just epic.

[BreyanLM]

Is that Casey on Drums ?? SICK old school H.B. shirt !! I want that

[skulldrix]

1:44 Crowd surf fail!

[skulldrix]

We'll attack! We'll attack! We'll attack! We'll attack!....

[Anibalruido]

puro Hardcore!!

[BarrioPunkRock]

best singer in the world

he moshes and shows passion for his bands music

[freebord9]

From American Hardcore!

[dirtyglass69]

who the fuck disliked this

[NewWorldPictures]

Hardcore may be dead, but I for one fucking love zombies.

There are still some great bands out there.

[maximus50238]

how old is this

[f1l173]

@maximus50238 i think abt 30 yrs ....

[generalfuckpants]

Jesus christ, the lead singer went from being an emasculated, emanicated twig to a beefy bastard.

[Saroarr]

@generalfuckpants lmfao "beefy bastard"

[mpkpkm]

THE ADOLESCENTS-The best days!!!!!!!! Tony was really mad!!!

[bunerzissou]

dunno what demonoftheforrest is talking about but minor threat will never play again because brian baker is in bad religion and lyle preslar is like a laywer/A & R rep for a major label. I don't think Ian even talks to them or likes them anymore. If anything Ian would rather reunite with fugazi.

[BraincageAZ]

fugazi is better anyways

[bretadounitedfc]

I wish I had a fruckzcapasiter!!!!

[ismybrainsmallenough]

gorgeous.

[lilSnubby]

There is nothing better than this

[BraincageAZ]

the dead kennedys

[GunsnGuitars64]

saw them yesterday at thw warped tour, best dam band all fucking day

[BIGPOTSMOKER]

damn i wish i was in that pit

[Furiavegana]

Yeah

[kandacass]

Frank still looks like that!

[Saroarr]

didn't anyone tell you? he's a god, he never ages. ;)

[charliegrs]

rikk on the other hand... lol

[AliAssaSeen]

HAHAHAHAHAH you all missed out on punk rock!!

[toddscrivener]

1981!!!!

[toddscrivener]

Okay - you young, dumb punks! 1) Whoever it was of you who threw the Adolescents in w/ shit like "Void & SSD Control & Scream, you should know that those bands lick the Adolescents balls! 2) Bad Brains are a great band for what they do and their color shouldn't matter, even tho HR is a homophobe! 3) I like the youngster on here who keeps refering to Rikk Agnew as "the guitarist" who keeps kicking people blah blah blah. 4) The Date Is: Wednesday January 7th w/ China White& Black Flag-Starwood!

[BraincageAZ]

dude, how DARE you diss Scream???? Void and SSD aren't that good, but SCREAM???????? Scream WAS AWESOME!!!!!

[Demonoftheforrest]

Hey fuck you, VOID kicked serious ass, but fuck SSD!

[BraincageAZ]

In my opinion, Void was ok, but Scream is much better.

[Demonoftheforrest]

I like em both, but SSD is one of the reasons Minor Threat will most likely never play again, ever!

[BraincageAZ]

why?

[Demonoftheforrest]

Cause their straight edge was bout kicking the shit out of people who smoked or drank in front of em & Ian wasn't like that, he was just saying "I'm straight edge, I'm different but don't judge or I'll kick your ass" But for some reason most of his messages were misunderstood

[BraincageAZ]

Oh, yeah. Fucking hyppocrates. Using violence to try to stop something they were against. Didn't the song "Guilty For Being White" misunderstood as a pro-nazi song?

[Demonoftheforrest]

Yeah, which is very retarded I mean he says GUILTY OF BEING WHITE, so stupid. I mean a bunch of bands used sarcasm as a way of saying what's on their mind, like Jello from The Dead Kennedys

[fragellin]

fugazi? its the same lyricists ian mackayley or something like that

[Demonoftheforrest]

It's Ian Mckaye, & yeah he started Fugazi, he pretty much turned into a pacifist with Fugazi, cause after all the violence with Minor Threat, he was just sick of it

[NervousBreakdown93]

he was sick of it after some guy punched his brother in the face at some show

[Demonoftheforrest]

true, but now he looks back, & he was tired of the violence, even though he loved Minor Threat, & he still stands by all of his lyrics

[NervousBreakdown93]

holy shit i didnt notice your name i have you as a friend on my old account i was darbylint69 thats trippy that i met you all over again

[Demonoftheforrest]

haha weird

[BraincageAZ]

Hey, i just got the Void/Fait hSplit, and Void did kick ass. I never realized it. You see, I don't respect most punk bands who play only 3 chords and scream all the time (i basically believe that bands like that are the reason why hardcore punk died-it just got too boring and generic)

[Demonoftheforrest]

I understand, but I like all kinds of bands, I like both speed & cool stuff like The Adolescents

[hardcorerocc]

@BraincageAZ YEa Void in my opinion were one of the first bands to fuse hardcore with metal but still keep it hardcore. Its an interesting sond.

[chadsnadsrox]

If I could go back anywhere in time to any era, this would be it.

[MarsRevival]

imo they play better today

but i love the crowd! look at 1:40 on.

[prichiletta]

trop bien vive les anciens..!!

[Fleischmann80]

Tony Cadena seems a child

[acidhide]

That's because when this was shot, he was.

[chadsnadsrox]

Hence them being "Adolescents"

[b00mhauer]

Tony Cadena looks like he's all bored and is kinda just "ah well, fuck it" and then dives into the crowd. For a skinny, nerdy looking guy he's so fucking fearless in this one!

[jackowock]

haha

thats good

haha the guy in the greenish shirt running up on stage twice and gettin kicked off the sec time by one of the guitarist

[CHANGACK]

best band ever

[rickhorror]

wow really? whoa thats a lil over doing it

[CHANGACK]

[ihatethewordpunx]

dont worry about rickhorror youre entitled to an opinion =)

its your world too X.x

[superbawestside]

1981 at the Starwood!

[jackowock]

[rickhorror]

[momomimimomo]

[grungesponge489]

I saw them last night, they are still fuckin' tearing it up.

[ballinassmofo]

god i wish hardcore could happen now adays. that wud b so fuckin intense

[prestonADHD]

look up gross negligence

[genxer1000]

this is awesome. Adolescents - Adole-Scents was the first punk rock album I ever bought. I remember I was kind of scared buying it when i was a kid - haha. Can't believe i hit the mother load on the first try. This footage rocks. This IS American hardcore. Check out young Casey Royer on drums. Thanks for posting.

[poolpig]

sad to say it was all downhill mostly sfter that I guess

[genxer1000]

yeah for sure.

[collintharmy]

definently not

[GreasyGuerilla]

i see you like randomly badmouthing people via internet. RAAAAAAAAADd

[GreasyGuerilla]

steroid homo? haha wtf

[SkateBatMSC]

They don't look much like Adolescents any more...

[charliegrs]

wow this is awesome. theres so little footage of these guys from back in the day

[88skinhead]

fucking tony crazy as hell shit i'd like to see those casualties poser have stage power like that

[theonlytruepunk]

You are one confused person. Fuck your white pride! How about having pride in yourself, not the color of your skin? Sounds smart, huh? Moron.

[mkbass92]

i think the part where tony jumps into the crowd at the end is in american hardcore

[ryanwade2006]

this is true it is in american hardcore

[yeetown46]

fucking awesome movie, i wish all of these little fucks today would watch that shit, then they would see what true emotionally driven music is fuckin about. anger, paranoia and shit, not this oh i long for you bleeding heart bullcrap.

[GOp0g077]

@yeetown46 i long for you bleeding heart crap is the epitomy of the likes of the buzzcocks ramones shit man 77 stuff but I hear what you're saying. Punk is social issues and slammin against the wall and showin the world we dont like it and we arent blind

[Afrosamurai532]

@yeetown46 what movie?

[TheTelefony]

@Afrosamurai532 American Hardcore probably

[FuckingGayPanda]

the singer looks sooooo young :p

[superbawestside]

January 1981!!! Great gig, nice too see some footage finally too!!!

[eerie420]

i liked it when he jumps into the crowd

[linkogle]

best band ever, true 80's punk

[fuzzking101]

aha, on 00:40 the guitarist kicks some guy on the stage.

[moonbaby77]

fuck i love the adolescents

[fredyzpt]

we'll atack!!!

[Greg78X]

its the whisky,, if you dont know why you where never their

[theonlytruepunk]

It is not the Whiskey...it was the Starwood.

[anarchyordie]

First punk show I ever went to I was wearing a go-gos shirt and looked New Wave and Tony was slamming and grabbed me and threw me to the floor. I remember his slashed up arms from cutting himself. That was before Adolescents. Yeah that looks like Starwood.

[theonlytruepunk]

I remember you...you were that new waver...hahahah...that was funny shit. Did you finally get your haircut and burn the Go Gos shirt???

[greezyc]

This is classic Adolescents! I think this is at the Starwood in 1981, I was there. ;)

[skatenaked7]

hunter, i find it funny how there shouldn't be black punks. hmmm, lets think about this, minor threat, black fucking flag, EVEN THE DEAD KENNEDYS, sublime, adolescents, suicidal tendencies, reagan youth, d.o.a., u.s. bombs, uk subs, jfa, and every modern day punk band (casualties, unseen) and that shit, have either played with, done covers of, or were inspired by (especially minor threat douche bag) the fucking bad brains.

fuck you, you ungreatful nazi cunt

[Jacklord1967]

yep, Jan 2-3 1981 black flag, middle class, social distortion or black flag, adolescents, eddie & the subtitles. & two weeks earlier Black flag, eddie & the subtitles, Minutemen, CBSW had that current events show 'Eye on L.A. ' filming a segment on Punk rock phenomeno, anybody remember that? Right around the same time they did another segment on ADam & the ANts. I think that ED Colver had a copy of the show on his web sit

[gumandice]

Tony looks so... small

[Jacklord1967]

Black Flag, Adolescents, Eddie & the Subtitles.

[theonlytruepunk]

I don't remember Eddie playing that night...are you sure??? Or maybe I was fashionably late...hahahaha...I love the Subtitles 7", its a shame I missed them.

[NOCASHKILLAZ]

my favorite song!!!

[johngillis1]

No Rik Agnew? Went to school with Tony in OC

[DylanRude]

that is Rikk pre-Christian Death. might be hard to recognize him without his teased hair.

[SkateBatMSC]

That and he's about 100 pounds lighter

[Fluidowsky]

Cool stuff. Wish I was there. Does anyone know if ADZ is still playing? And D.I.?? And yeah, whats that nazi comment on "white punk"?! Jesus, its just increible how there is always some bullshit comment. Are the Bad Brains less punk than the Adolescents??

[redred5]

yes

[chinessetattoo]

casey rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bldsucker]

now this is some heavy shit, true punk

[mdc848]

is that casey on drums?

[Zabimaru666]

Yup, a very young casey on drums.

[hunter2316]

Angry and white,The way punk should be.

[Gonzalez2500]

What do you mean white?Are you some nazi?

[hunter2316]

What am I not speaking english? It's an opinion not a puzzle.

[Gonzalez2500]

i dont think it matters what you look like or anything.Its the sound and lyrics and crap.

[craaass]

what the fuck does that supposed to mean?

ever heard of bad brains?

[MFpirate1]

BAD BRAINS

oh yeah punks not about skin and you sit here we sit there its about

be yourself come to gether ROCK your heads off

[KP5000]

awesome. they look young as hell, but they're still a few years older than me.

[Greg78X]

Tony on Acid... the good ol day VEry nice vid

[sscrapper]

One of the best hardcore bands I ever saw.

[dbeatpunk]

fuckin rad i wasnt even born when my favorate bands were in their haydays!

[MotoVet]

This show was the first time I seen the Adolescents play.

[theonlytruepunk]

Me too!

[drewchaos]

soooooo good. awesome seeing old footage of bands like this.

[donbincente]

very cool...great OC band that didnt gets the props other so cal bands got...the ad's house of blues dvd is essential... thanx mate

[zonetuke]

nice addition. too bad Flipside never released the videos on DVD.

[HarryTheHippo]

Yeah that sucks they did not re-release the Flipside fanzine vids. They have a lot of the live concerts of Circle Jerks, Weirdos, G.I. etc out on DVD. But they had volumes with just the live videos on VCR tape. Very cool stuff. They don't make em' like they used to. ;)

[theonlytruepunk]

Wow! I was just talking about this gig with a friend. That's weird, I remember Tony throwing the Poshboy dummy out in the crowd! That was a gig to remember...although I can't remember who else played? China White? Black Flag? Shit, I must be old. Thanks for the memories.

[HarryTheHippo]

We are all old theonlytruepunk.;)

[mrblifil]

Phenomenal footage. Shit they were young and tight. Rikk Agnew looks so confident and powerful. Sorry it didn't work out better for you Rikk. You were loved.

[sativaluvbox23]

I agree. Rikk, what happened?

[BlitzzkriegBill]

AWESOME!
