We Destroy the Family: Punks vs Parents (1 of 3) 1982

[MrAngryindian]

i think its hilarious how Fear was able to get some of their lyrics onto local tv, including the cursing, because the reporter was unused to fast singing

[kevil665]

these guys were comody,haha....haha

[GnarKillx420]

They feel frightened and helpless when their kids turn into punks... AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! HAFUCKINHA!!!! sorry, kind of made me chuckle...

[flemingia]

I always laugh about how punks were portrayed in the 80s.

[blaze00073]

The media take the easy and assumed story that will piss off people in the subculture, but there by discrediting themselves by not remaining neutral in a news story....but Hey!? They still do it today?

[PahubianInfluence666]

damn you 240p.....

[duqmiguel]

Young . . un-sophisticated and take the "Punk-message" seriously . . sorry, Pops.

[gtmoney81]

Fight for freedom. lA death squad, burbank punk organization.

[Dopemop]

$8.50 then... $850 now, bullshit

[KarlMcMAn]

I'm 30 and I still listening to them

[TruSkoolHooligan]

@KarlMcMAn Me too. In fact, they are even more relevant now, than they were back then. I play Live...For the Record at least 1nce a month.

[louskum]

FEAR is QUEER !

[FreakBoi2008]

I love how they censor the subtitles even though its obvious what he's singing...

[gkooooz]

hell yeah punk rules--and FEAR are the godfathers of punk-- steal the money from your mother buy a gun---kill your mother and father--HELL YEAH --that is some insightful lyricism right there

[Shukria123]

I think Lee Ving is a repressed homosexual.

[gkooooz]

this is the best song of all time---like ive said before in my posts--fuck rock n roll---punk rock rules and lee ving is the leader of my domain--fuck you bitch

[paulemasterman]

where is the anger NOW where is the hate and where the energy to letit out it makes me fucking mad !!

[johnpburkhardt]

@ jpx the media didn't care about kids getting shot in the ghetto they just noticed their own kids acting weird so that's what gets attention.

[jpx08]

I find it laughable how the mainstream media depicted punk and even so-called "new wave" as a big threat back then, Look at hip-hop now and all these suburban kids out there who think its cool to do drive by shootings and have your pants halfway down your ankles. I would take punk rock any day!

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@jpx08 eh back in the early 80s there were a lot of hardcore punk gangs that actually shot up black hoods. no joke. punks back then were a bunch of jerks/thugs and tough pricks and could throw down at the drop of a hat.

[brettwebb13]

@TheNewMusicNetwork  you say that like its a bad thing. ? anymotherfucker was my target. gutter style.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@brettwebb13 hb?

[TheStutteringPrick]

Greatest Publicity for Punk was that your parents were supposed to be scared of it!

[athompson7]

A great expose of those awful punks! LOL!

[jonoortrev]

ah perfect needed this for my dissertation on Punk, needed something else apart from American Hardcore telling me how shit the entire of America is.

[TheHasselBoff]

"I love livin in the city!"

[Jerkoffkid]

haah kid was washing his face and they make him look like hes suffering

[Dawgisht]

"No More (inaudible)"

[pfordsq]

@Dawgisht I think that's where he originally said "No more Jim Jones" , but , it's been a while since I played the album.

[mikesxdestroy]

Did irony not exist in 1982?

[maddog6419]

46yrs old and still love it.

[MrXmyselfx]

Oh nevermind



[MrXmyselfx]

What band sang the "We Destroy The Family" song?

[roboimp]

@MrXmyselfx FEAR sang it

[sodapapa]

@fakeis751, that's exactly what me and my friends did! It was the greatest advertising and airplay for punk at the time!!!

[mondocaneman]

I grew up in that time period in L.A. and it was very dangerous to be in the punk scene..it was dangerous to dress punk beocs you get your ass kicked by mexican gangsters and laughed at in school... during 1982 the L.A. punk scene was already dying and being used and commercialized by the music corporations and media. Now it's nothing.

[brandoncipelle]

 stay tuned for the surburban battle zone WTF really stupid media.

[fakeis751]

FUCKK, IF I WAS A KID IN THE EARLY 80S AND I SAW THIS I WOULD BE FUCKING RUNNING TO THE NEXT FEAR GIGGG

[coldfries]

@fakeis751 I did!!!!

[fakeis751]

@coldfries cool, man!

[barbqpope1970]

Fear more beer

[Kompai77]

This is hilarious. People need to relax, enjoy a nice brew and some good tunes. Oi!

[blacklakelight]

Better moms freaking out than dropping the gang off at fucking Warped tour, as today. At least it was still something to be taken seriously. Just like skateboarding-- it USED to BE a crime; beat the shit out of being a sport. 

[badsign1980]

too bad kids dont get punk... kids nowday suck dick, in the mid 90s was almost over, i squated with oldpunks, even band members from ancient 80s hardcore bands

[PukeFlower293]

@badsign1980 It's not over, man, it's just very underground... fuck, I'm going to see a punk show in less than a week, and I will make sure to have a great time!!

[matcotech]

Punk is the antidote to conservative douche bags.

[crackerHero]

i would be proud if i had a son who finally said FUCK YOU DAD

[LBCOOLB]

Sounds like a good nite in Recida on a Thursday Nite Right?? The Parents should quit being such pussies!! & Oh by the way, they're not a local band from CA stupid TV Host. & Oh Yeah We GottA War Fuck Heads............Still Fight'n IT!

[skinhead5]

Punkers. I hated being called a punker.

I am a skinhead.

The kids were either skins or skaters. We liked the hardcore punk of our times.

Punk rock was the 1970's. Kids of the early 80's we ruled.

[wisesatyr72]

we are F-ing Trolls..what do people accuses you of being a F-ing Troll when theyre bring up shit anyway..people need to die!!!

[mackmccann]

things got really fun a couple years after this when Al Gore's wife go on her high-horse. if only she'd done it a few years earlier my life wouldn't have been destroyed by good music.

[MileyRocksz9]

lol love the guy on 6:24 ''just cause were different they have spazz attacks

[nibo1980y]

hahaha in the subtitles: 'no more s_ _ _ a _ _ philosophy'

[bonedry138]

A crisis. These kids didn't build bombs. Though they might now. Especially if they work for the government. Use punk rock to escape real issues. Politicians did the same thing with rap in the '90's.

[Gimmal1492]

Good to see this is how they played it in the news, wouldn't have believed it otherwise

[mastertoker69]

There's only one homosexual in FEAR, and that's me, Derf Scratch!

[zakzero123]

that looks so fun.

[raybeez55]

have a beer with fear

[theshipmentoffail]

I blame the uptight parents.

[zoomflesh]

everyone is on the joke accept the stupid and that my friends is the story of the universe.. stop the sheeple.. people

[fourtoedsloth]

Who killed Mr. Boddy?

[TheLegitMan93]

What a bunch of dumbasses (the news people, not the punks).

[todnyc]

holy shit, punk is so dated

[swimologist8]

Yeah, now with bands like Green Day.

[lolaobounce]

@todnyc A lot of your favourites are dated ?

[bobisyour]

shut the fuck up

[madcrazy1672]

Beef, beef,beef, beef bologna!

[pziebold]

No Fear is not being satirical. They are hateful individuals promoting hate and I love it.

[ImHellsAngel]

Fucken news.

Its taking there lyrics out of context.

FEAR isnt talking about how they like to watch bums in the street die and not help them.

There talking about all the sick fuckers who watch and wont help the bums

[anvilofcrom]

@ImHellsAngel Yeah, It's a comment on social disintergration in the big city which was obviously above the heads of the media...some things never change.

[admiralzoog]

If you go to any popular concert now it is nothing like that

[admiralzoog]

whats wrong with having fun controlled violence is right, who cares if people think they are all fighting each other they arent and thats what matters its just fun. i wish i lived in this time period

[666kinski]

Yeah,blame the punks! Fyucking douchebags!!!

[RexKuntz]

Eugenics is destroying the family. Where is the ABC special on that?

[MrChattyO]

A daily crisis? What were yer parents doing behind closed doors? The 80's were void and this is the only outlet kids had!!!

[59TV]

I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU

[candyjunkie101]

FUCK YOU

[59TV]

I saw RUSH in 1978, wish I seen FEAR instead....

[candyjunkie101]

FAG

[GRobb62]

@59TV i have seen Fear twice, never thought about going to a Ruch concert....

[kingoftheroad554]

ya that is alot thats weird.

[kingofthechode]

It's funny they have fear and they basically just take the piss and are out to offen people, but don't mention minor threat or any positive bands

[enemyforlife123]

FEAR FTW

[TIMBO92804]

LEE VING IS GOD!

[bhoussock]

i love this!! soooo much fear footage. haha. too bad its not like that anymore!!

[68kira]

remember when Elvis was considered possessed by the devil by many parents? Probably there kids turned into the parents objecting to this.. its a primal engery as youths we are drawn to... way more than the lyrics.. happens every generation... i dont like all this hippity hoppity rap crap the kids are into but i wont be a hippicrate and tell em they cant listen to it.

[urbanXwasteX]

hahaha this shits fucking halerous

[lolaobounce]

What's that ?

[antipatriotmissile]

this brainwashing media fucking makes me sick

[punkinglad13]

me to but its so fucking funny

[mergatroidal]

Yeah, but if the lyrics said, "I watched my best friend stab my sister, stab her twice/ We both just laughed and had a beer/ Shut up, Sis/ Wash your hair/Go play with your dolls," uhm ....? I mean, take it to the limit just to see what happens? For a buck? A temporary lack of constructive imagination. Perhaps when they become wealthy they'll be able to relax and cite some Descartes....

[blackguarding]

That was beautiful, I'm stealing those lyrics, thanks.

[DroogMonkey]

Beef-beef-beef bologna! damn, thats evil...bologna and lee ving are satanic....hahaha what bull shit

[IggyStef]

how stupid can you be, you cant always all songs literally understood, much of the words is written in metaphor.

simply some music is not for all people

[MinimoviesInc]

And some Of it is satirical and sarcastic

[mergatroidal]

Without a sense of direction, purpose, or meaning in life. So what ...?!

[darkstarwood]

im seing fear for the second time next week

[MeaningCorrupted1]

"believe in anarchy man, it's gonna be the way" hahaha knob. i bet he's a lawyer now.

[belgianmoosefag]

I doubt it. he's not bright enough

[navajo5150]

Fuck The Media! Fuck the Government! They are controlling our lives with this bullshit. They keep us nice and scared in our houses. There is no more for the people or by the people. Its do what we say as they strip us of our rights. It's time for real punk rock to make a comeback! Anti-Establishment and Anti-Government. ANARCHY!

[scottvanska]

Lee Ving is funny.

[Screwyoupal45]

an anti punk news program? this is the best!

[Thadfrog]

my friends and I are the guys jumping around here on the stage.

aahhh youth.

[luckycomehawaii]

Great PR for them back in the day! Lee Ving is smart great album did I say album?

[theonlytruepunk]

I was there!! Those were the days. We were out of control and a danger to society and or ourselves...hahahahahaha. Fuck the media!

[MrSExperience]

ABC broadcast Lee singing, "no more fucking, nor more sucking"

[smokeydiablo]

The date of this show was May 20, 1982.

One of the few post-78 shows where they played Now Your Dead live.
