Powerman 5000 - Wild World

[RockMeBaby231]

Two years later, the band moved to Dreamworks (and relocated to Los Angeles), where they released a revamped version of their debut as Mega!! Kung Fu Radio.

[RockMeBaby231]

Helmed by vocalist Spider (aka Michael Cummings, also know as Spider One or MC Spider, the younger brother of Rob Zombie), the Boston-based underground electro-metal band Powerman 5000 earned a popular cult following along the East Coast with the release of their 1994 indie debut EP, True Force, and 1995's LP The Blood Splat Rating System, the latter of which appeared on Conscience Records.

[RocketDragons]

Haters gonna hate. Old PM5K kicks ass but Destroy What you Enjoy was a legitimately awesome punk album, and it's pretty old school, very reminiscent of old brit punk, but with modern refinement. Like it or not, it's a fantastic album.

[SamuraiZakk]

Bring back the space-suits. :(

Bring back M33, Adam12, and Dorian27 too!

[eznniki]

when the fuck did pm5000 go fuckin' emo?

[Assassinkasumiball]

And for the record I love áll their songs. Only too bad that they replaced a few members of the band.. Cause the older once were much better at performing.

[HaterAndATraitor]

the lead guitarist in this video is my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend. true story.

[mrsaint111]

PW5K sucks ass now

[Assassinkasumiball]

@mrsaint111 Listen to their new album: On the other side of nowhere.. As good if not better than their old stuff.. At least I think so. And listen to the interviews you can find on yt if you still don't understand why they did a few punk songs.. =.=

[DeathfirePrime]

I can't get this song off my head

[Randompyro120]

yeah i like their punk stuff lol its kinda cool but their old stuff is good too

[sparkz9870]

Why do people care about the way they dress, I mean seriously isn't it about the music and the band itself and not looks.

[shockme1000]

These guys sound more like Rancid than Green Day. At least they sound like original punk other than this fake crap these days.

[SpitchildTV]

please check out our video Gang Bang Hotel chain and post a comment if you like it!

and of course the OLD Powerman is the best one-this is just punk shit!

[robot831]

Is it me or does it look like they're trying to imitate green day

[miserabliss]

@robot831 No. Green Day isn't the first thing that comes to mind (nor should it be) when I see something inspired by Punk music.

[vaguelyreptilian]

The funny thing about everyone saying they want the "old" pm5k back, that was ONE album unless you want them to go back to rap-rock. As Spider didn't want AfD? released (because it was too similar to their previous album) I'm not counting it. If you're happy with them sounding the same, just keep listening to TTSR

[ScaryGothicGamers]

wow i cant beleive people get so angry about them switching genres. spider himself said he didnt wanna keep making the same shit over and over again and his brother Rob Zombie seconded him on it.

[fffitgc]

It's been a while since I cared to listen to PM5K. I missed them going emo. I'm not crying over missing that.

[Haloumouse]

if you are a real powerman 5000 fan than you would like this music 2, i like all their musics

[featherfall1211]

Or vice versa

[vaguelyreptilian]

@featherfall1211 Transform was the album where they kind of did both. They had anyone for doomsday recorded and that never got released for... I dunno, a bunch of reasons. but they came back with Transform, then this. Which, while really different kicks ass.

[featherfall1211]

This sounds like heavy punk :O I like it haha when did they transition from this to albums like stars revolt?

[dragon53777]

Fuck all of you that whine about the old Powerman 5000. They never sold out. That would mean they'd be rich....they aren't. This album....if any you fucks who are bashing it....had bothered to listen to is probably their most personal album. It got me through some hard times....made me keep that fuck you attitude I needed....against fucks like you. Who the fuck cares about a look? I imagine the same people that bitch about their old style do it with other bands....like Metallica. Just shut up

[JakTheMan1]

This can't be Powerman 5000, it just can't be. More of a disappointment than Linkin Park's new stuff.

[RoxyMama312]

@JakTheMan1

AMEN to that!

[BradenR3]

you guys know wats funny? I broke my speakers trying to turn this down, I WANT THE OLD POWER MAN BACK

[vanjagl]

wtf... this isnt powerman 5000 o.O

[AllarysDanyaela]

my response

What the hell is this shit?

[ElPacifistaArmado]

I'm a man but i need to say it..Spider is hot o_o

[drumfreak00]

yeah I'm all for musicians expanding and doin new stuff, but damn this is horrible. i threw this cd away after 1 listen it was horrible. I'm a PM5K fan, but this was just.....

[poser691]

the changed :(

[MrGuitarsNguns]

DAMN powerman5k sux fat cock when they act like this

[csiperke12]

sry guys this is powerman 5000? this is a fuckin pop punk SUM 5000

[SillyHatVideos]

@csiperke12 Yeah its pretty bad, but the new album is a hell of alot better

[ElPacifistaArmado]

@csiperke12 Or Simple Powerman, but i like this style =/

[brastmonkey]

Spider wtf man!

[RikuHitoshii]

Powerman 5000 always had been, always is, and always will be amazing. Even this stuff is good. So if you don't like it, stick with the old Powerman.

[beyondperfect12]

nowhere near as good as their other stuff

[sergiojimvi]

This SUCKS! Sounds like Jonas Brothers! Well, almost... Nothing is worse than that!

[CECRedGhost]

See this folks? This is with out a doubt the definition of selling out.

[msingh32]

eew. 

[pumkinskull]

i bet zombie is like shit this is my lil bro wtf is he doin lol

[Liam1993R]

First thing I thought was Green Day xP, Along with Linkin Park too xP

It's not their usual stuff, I like their Bombshell, WWC, Super Villain and stuff.

They so need a new album :L

[Fluffypopcicle]

damn it why did PM5K have to pull a metallica on us and turn into utter shit. they used to be so good, but...damn this just sucks.

[TheCanadianPrairies]

What happened to their sound from the When Worlds Collide era?

Damn. They had a pretty slick sound then, but this looks ripped from the book of being generic.

[DisasterBlaster2]

Spider didn't want to be know as the Sci Fi Rock and Roll band. So he changed the style, too bad when he cancelled Anyone for Doomsday it broke up the band. I guess you'd be pissed off if you lost millions of dollars. Anyway Powerman 5000 Rocks! Rock On!

[rencrow]

lmao fucking sellouts

[thecowside]

wow this sucks. come on guys.

[HollyWoodDivine]

Why? When did they go Good Charlotte on us? This is sad...

[knewok]

not impressed... this is not pm5k

i like the original stuff WAY better,,

[UNDEADBOY311]

wut has happened to PM5K i mean like wut happened to spiderone?

[carrpiccioni]

i don't mind them experimenting, true it's not original PM5K, but it'd be a bit boring if they made the same thing every time.

[hencoleman]

i still love the punk stuff because spyders voice gives me a eargasm

[Thorns16]

is it just me or is the singer hot? dont anwser if yew dont agree XD

[paulwhoo]

WTF WHERE IS THE AWESOME INDUSTRIAL CYBER THIINGEY THEY HAD GOIN ON :( wtf there punk.....

[darkstar759]

not completly

they do a mix of techno industrial metal and punk rock (sometimes the songs they make are all 3 at the same time XD)

[hencoleman]

look at their really new album it revisits the old style with some crazy badass scifi stuff

[nitrousxpress]

WTF WHERE IS POWERMAN 5000 =(

[alter1x]

That is NOT Spyder.

[CmPunk9Chelsea]

that has to be the second sexiest drummer ive ever sen o.o

[Betorockmetal]

They suck as a Punk band WE WANT WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE!

[Betorockmetal]

hey assholes why 2 points less? it's true! EVERYBODY wants back the old Powerman 5000 (when worlds collide, drop the bombshell, action, free, etc.)

we don't like painted eyes, we like futurist power suits and googles.

[mboondocksaint2]

@Betorockmetal completely agree with u. theyve lost their uniqueness

[InaGameComa]

@Betorockmetal Totally. I haven't been as into PM5K since they took on Billy Idol as their singer

[deathrocker616]

@Betorockmetal Yer mom's got painted eyes.

[Betorockmetal]

@deathrocker616 Your ass is painted

[deathrocker616]

@Betorockmetal Actually, my ass is inked with a swastika.

[Betorockmetal]

@deathrocker616 nice

[Meta1Head91]

@Betorockmetal Nobody's real but they are willing to let you know.

[DKMN81]

its a good begging but it kinda get kinda to repative but i still like it

[jokersmile32]

i agree with ofthenight the goggles were much better. this is crap.

[OfTheNightProwlerXD]

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds kinda like the Mighty Mighty Bosstones did? Just saying.

Durr...I like the goggled look they had going better...

[homer46303]

I forgot to point out they sold out.

[homer46303]

Very Andrew W.K.

[TheMiniTurtle]

ahh man what happen powerman new look

go back to your old look man u looked cool

and whats up with the vioce :(

[LONGSHOTfilmes]

come on spider, lose the make up, put the googles back on. We all prefer the old futuristic psycho from the beginning.

-Drop the bombshell-

[TheEarthDoll]

wtf ...spider what did you do man...wayne will eat u

[catapult59000]

Spider (The leadsinger) said he didn't want all his albums to sound the same. He said that destroy What You Enjoy was suppose to be 'pure rock n' roll'. He has NEVER been a member of White Zombie, but has sung with his brother, Rob Zombie on tour.

[pm5kphreakk21]

it seems like i'm the only one who likes more than the same two powerman songs... sad

[OrionFCPerenyi]

Not alone.. And anyway, these guys aren't emo.

[OfTheNightProwlerXD]

@pm5kphreakk21: Well, not really - I don't mind his newer style - but I think you have to admit his old look was a lot better for him; this one hides his awesomeness. More people would probably like this style of his better had he kept the old look.

[jadecorpse]

wow this shit sux compaired to their other shit and it sux even not compaired to their othere shit and yeah emo needs to die

[s420s666s91]

Hey asshole, people don't need to die just because of there interest and hobies...

They just need to keep it too themselfs better......

[kibeeeee]

emo needs die¬¬

[kaseycutie12]

stfu

[Ripthesys7em]

I wasn't a big fan of this style. I'll give them credit though, they seem to like to change things up with each album. That seems to be why they pulled "Anyone for Doomsday" back in the day. But, if you listen to all their albums from Mega Kung Fu, up until the new one they always seem to change things up with each album. Can't say I liked this change that much...

[Triseek]

They look like they are younger than the other cids i say this is a older one if i am mistaken.

[MegaSonicDX]

they better start the sci-fi stuff again...-.-''

[wheelman2003]

I agree MegaSonicDX because their video for Nobody's Real was not only done right, but it was actually hilarious to an extent.

[Q5M4]

what is this kinda genre..when guys moan like gays in teen music...someone help me..

like blink 182,,,i think greenday too..some one help pls..

[tincanman55]

does anybody here like video killed the radio star in it like when he sings the verse

[fajd]

this is shit.... the new album sounds decent so far tho

[bumfights01]

wtf this isnt Powerman 5000

[myMasterservant]

i know. wtf. no way this is powerman 5k

[coollilmofo]

AGREEEED !! WTF HAPPENED TO THIS GUY, the sci-fi shit was AMAZING, but now they aren't original, just following gay old punk now, why is it that now-a-adays music has to suck?

[suzukixi]

eh.... this doesn't sound punk to me. Sounds more like a softer song but w/e.

If he stayed with the same sound all the time he wouldn't be considered a musician.

But I don't like this song so eh....

[latiasandlatios4ever]

fuck you,punk for life bitch.

[wheelman2003]

actually it is, but I'm guessing they wanted to go for a different look and feel for their song and music video. JUST BASED ON A GUESS, BUMFIGHTS01 SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF I DIDN'T GET ANY HARSH REPLIES FOR JUST COMMENTING !!!!

[bumfights01]

ok thnx man didnt know that they left the sci-fi stuff behind ps they still kick ass

[wheelman2003]

no prob, bum. Glad to try and offer help. I promise it's still them. Spider One is noticeable. I think when they did this, they just wanted to try something different, than robots or clown-related hairdos' but....STILL a great band though. I think Spider One is like the brother or half-brother of Rob Zombie, but I can't remember.

[MrRastabwai]

what happened? is this billy idol in this video? where is powerman and his kung fu radio beats?

[jordan0montuori]

this is so emo... WTF!!! ¬¬'

[xxsummerbaby07xx]

wow..their old music was MUCH better

[xDeadFacex]

So he went thru an industrial metal phase, then laid back stuff, and if this is recent at all, he's in a mainstream phase. Aint great im sorry. But i love PM5000

[murdoch2486]

haha, i cant agree more!

[Veneurr]

Green Day and Billy Idol in one. But much more worse.

[sodafreakable]

wtf? they dont even sound or look like that

[TBonePickensetc]

Are these people happy or mad?

They got the money thing right.

Google Technocracy technate for an alternative to that.

[KataVideo]

miracle whip

[lygerwulf]

I still don't see why people have to post all the 'hate this video' comments. To me,this video has a similar vibe,that was evident in a similar video. 'Brave New World' by motorhead

[PatrikLindqvist]

I kinda like this song yeey.

[sarcastic456]

woah... what the fuck... :|... this song makes me want to just say random cuss words... :|

[dgafsoulja420]

actually ive heard some of super villian and its more industrial stuff again

[dgafsoulja420]

but it is what it is all we can hope is they turn it back around atleast go back to how they were on transform wasnt as good as the old old stuff but it was bette rthen this then again now that i think of it they have always tried new stuff cuz there first 2 cds from boston were like rap rock then they went industrial then went rock now there at this so next cd shud be different as well

[dgafsoulja420]

I think one they went back underground for a while cuz they didnt make it mainstream then they wanted to make new music and try to make somthing off it plus getting compared to ur older brother 24-7 gets to ya so he decided to try this wish they didnt

[makydsdaddy]

Seriously, guys, WTF! Greenday, Offspring, and now Powerman 5000? All of them used to rock, now they just SUCK!!! Glad I didn't pay $ to hear this crap!

[travlestat]

.... offspring was good once lol

[trouble101ks]

wow way to sell out. their old shit was kool. i'd rather punch my self in the balls then listen to this shit. glad i didnt go out and buy this album

[LordPenguin7485]

OH GAWD wtf happened here? I leave the band for a few years and this shit happens?! where did they turn to the path of gay?

[Pollutedsoul7]

i know right, same thing happened to me, last i hear of them was Drop The Bomb Shell.

[lennythelinx]

omg dude what the hell???????? this just isent powerman 5000??????? btw you shouldent say gay

[LoserNO13]

This.... THIS IS AWFUL. D:< This is fucking TERRIBLE!!11!

[blackholesun693]

I have to agree with everyone else. What the hell happened to your Sci-Fi style and, you know, just generally not looking like Good Charlotte.

[LDNIrishArsenal1983]

I actually thought the first Album wasn't bad, the guy is a whore who will forever live in his brother's shadow.

[theunsucceeder1]

ew. he lost his crazy hair!!!! still looks ADD or something, but he looks like hes conforming!! i loved the gen-x look and sound sooo much better!!!

[Stonevane]

I hear you I like them better looking that way and this new shit is not has good or even close to being there.

Old Powerman 5000 is better for LIFE!!!

[neopantera]

q carajo es eestooo!!! esto no es powerman 5000...esto es una mierda!!!

porr deoosss...matenlos por su bien!!

[Dustin11H3]

idk what this means but im going to give it a thumbs up anyway :D

[89Winters]

I still can't believe this is the same band...

[Wolfe4X4]

yeah really, like greenday there old stuf is better

[ThunderCurls]

Hahaha what the hell. It sounds like Good Charlotte or Greenday or some other generic sounding band I could name.

This is terrible.

[threedaysgracefan6]

shit, then thats fucked cuz it doesnt look like him or sound like anything theyd even do man. i was just told that it was a different guy, and it doesnt even sound like him at all

[rawtoast]

It's a "ligher" sound than they used to do sure, but it's also very clearly Spider's voice singing. *shrug* I admit I miss the day-glo yellow hair and stuff, but it's still enjoyable music to me. This is not the best song to judge this album by, though :P

[threedaysgracefan6]

man this isnt even the original lead singer...this CD was ok, but there first album was the best.

[rawtoast]

What are you smoking? That's Spider singing and he formed the band...

[WiteLando]

is this a joke?

[dreginysnewaccount]

and ppl r thinking spider is emo in this video cuz y?? -_-'

[ender003]

A full grown man wearing eye make up tends to give off a certain image.

[dreginysnewaccount]

-_-

anyone thinking he looks emo only cuz the eye make up is being VERY stereotypical.

[ender003]

Maybe. But that stereotype didn't start from nothing.

Meh, it doesn't matter anyway, since it was just a phase or whatever.

[mindfreak445]

if you look at a interveiw(its in my favorites on my account)with spider it dosent look like hes emo

[lygerwulf]

I've listened to,and downloaded the new single,supervillian...waiting to download 'v is for vampire.' So yeah,I know this was just a 'phase',that ended

[metalmaniac185]

WTF IS THIS SHIT?! this is not bombshell! this is not when worlds collide! this is NOT PM5K

[narutosbro]

i think they did this just for the video the whole emo look

[bananin1]

wtf is powerman 5000? this hell noooooooo w a change now is shit emo gay

[KidJUdgedByHIsPAst]

[JDingus6]

i USED to be a fan of Powerman 5000.

[dabzom]

SHIT.

[Jasterbation]

[wolfhazerd]

*cringe* no....just no...Spider One...NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EMO WTF!?!? FAIL.

[CindyBear55]

Is Spyder the only original PM5K member now? SHITTY! I miss Dor!

[McJoobler]

Spider One is really hot >.>

[HeavenSentDarkAngel]

... WTF man??

[slrmclarenfreak]

yet another band, given in to the temptation of turning emo.

GODDAMMIT

[Sepek1212]

Yeah it SHITTT!!! it isn't powerman

[ILOVESTEROIDS666]

WTF

[SSJ4Pikachu]

God. This reminds me of how much I hated Destroy What You Enjoy. They went too mainstream. It upset me, I remember owning the CD and breaking it after listening to the entire thing. Oh well. I half did what the title of the CD was. I "Destroyed" it, but I didn't enjoy it. This is the only good song on the record.

[TosHiOnceAgain]

OMFG

[watermelonfrenzy]

It's not heavy. I don't like it...D: And yes, this is mainstream.

[magicmage316]

Put on the space suits, or turn on the kung-fu radio. Anything but this.

[RUcringe]

i agree this is horrible! what the hell happened to the space suits!? this is not powerman5000

[Merc399]

dude...seriously...what the hell was this...

[fhury78dk]

who the fuck is this this isnt powerman 5000 its just normalguy 50

[dluv4u2]

This is not powerman 5000 !!!

[DeathWillAlwaysDream]

Are you serious, are these the same people who made When Worlds Collide, what the hell happened, they sound just like all those other emo or scene bands what ever the hell they're called.

[johncrisis6000]

i prefer the aliens sci instead of this emo,scene crap...they wer cooler with the sci-fo now theyr just clones

[konarider]
