While working with Witness, I would sometimes grab a camera and hit some of the clubs on the strip during our breaks. Years before Goth was popular, there was the Dead End Kids! They started it all! I think I filmed this in 1980 or 81

  • Rat Skates led me here...Overkill took a bit of inspiration from these guys with the image back in their early days. This is great.

  • CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO WOW BROUGHT BACK SOME REALLY GREAT MEMORIES. MY FRIENDS AND I FOLLOWED THIS GROUP FOR YEARS ALL OVER EAST COAST WHERE EVER THEY WERE AWSOME BAND , I WAS ABOUT 18 THEN NOW IN MY 50S I WISH I COULD SEE THEM AGAIN IF THEY EVER REGROUP PLEASE SOMEONE POST IT THANKS. DEK THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

  • Or maybe the Hurricane. Anyway, this video doesn't do them justice.

  • I usta see them at The Panic Room(I think) in Wildwood, NJ and l8r at The Seagull in Essex, MD. Kelley had awesome guitar tone. He and george wore 1 white contact lens, WAY before Marilyn Manson. Billy was a great singer too. The shows gave me chills! AWESOME BAND!

  • HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

  • Opened up for these guys back in 79, I was maybe 17 and when we came to set up, the drummer was a lefty,I think it was Gary.had to turn around and go get my drums! Well after we finished our set I sat in awe watching these guys!! Best band I ever seen and probably the Loudest!!!

  • You Guy's remember another great local guitarist Aj (Richetti) his band was out of Moorestown NJ. the Aj experience And Widow. I would say Aj and George were the two best local guitarist during the early 1980's. Last I herd Aj lives in perkasie pa. With severe Arthritis and other health problems. It's a shame He was never signed eaither And he was cconciderd The best hard rock guitarist on the east cost. Anyway those were the days!
