MTV Video shot in 1989 just about .5 mile from Spawn Ranch where Charles Manson lives...The label made up use models who wouldn't talk to a bunch of scumbags like us and a director who did Winger and what do you know - it didn't get played much... live and learn...

  • hey Big Chris did you guys did you guys (Junkyard) ever tour the UK...Scr*w those models in the video who didn't even want to speak you guys....I saw you saw on MTV years ago...always wondered what happpened to you guys.....hope to catch you guys on the road..

  • @mak1203136 We did a UK tour supporting the Almighty in 1990 or '91 - it was a ball!We have tried to get back to the UK several times but they make it VERY difficult to get the permits, etc... I'd love to come back, and if the opportubity arrises you just never know...

  • @CarlMichaelBurford - The band was the Skatenigs. Phil Owen (lead singer) has a new version of the band together that's supposed to be pretty good.

  • Yeah, they hired the "power ballad guy" to direct it and gave us zero input.. The models wouldn't even talk to us... But the set from Gomer Pyle USMC and Spawn Ranch (Charles Manson's place) were just over the hill... so we had that going for us.

  • This really is an Album (both actually) that stands of the time marker, It is so simplistic in its sound and so complex in its creation. These boys got it right, and will live on in my daughter's ears....this is what I had during the Hairband years Honey.

    Yeah, it really is that good.

  • sick!! in 1988 i rocked these guys on my walkman when i'd go skateboarding, now i rock them on my ipod when i skate. funny how times change, yet stay the same. awesome find on the you tube tonight. grew up in pennsylvania, and my older brother brought home their tape from texas. so stoked he did. exposed me to some good shit.

see all

  • this band were so underrated..it was a crime... they should have been a lot bigger....I lover them...they friggin' rock!!!!!!!!!!!

  • these guys deserved better

  • This is an AWESOME song I'm sure it will pop up in some movies some where in the future.

  • fantastic band! what a great song.

  • stupid make up wearing bands killed the scene for good bands like you guys

  • I picked up on Junkyard after reading a Rip Magazine article on them, decided to give them a shot, sounded like my kind of band in the day. I ended up wearing out two copies of the debut album in my cassette player over the following year!!! Great music, Big Chris!!! Still a huge fan! Been looking to find the debut album and "6s, 7s and 9s" on CD.

  • One of my favorites

  • It's the Spahn Ranch, but Spawn makes sense too.
