hell of a band ❤

absolutely insane

Incredible.. I'm so angry he died.

And today (Dec. 22, 2020) marks the 35th anniversary of d. Boone’s death at the age of 27 in a traffic accident. The axel fell off of his van while he was resting in the back. For punk rock in Los Angeles, that is the day the music died. Mike Watt did amazing work with fIREHOSE (and other bands) after that, but it definitely broke a part of his heart forever.

D fucking Boon tho, what a legend

D Boon's technique is always impressive. Such a loss. R.I.P.

One minute and forty-six seconds of perfection

Y manchuria

I was there! fucking great show

this ain't no picnic BITCH

The solo at the end....killer shit.

F*ck MTV Unplugged, this is the real deal.

The Minutemen were the most intelligent band from the SoCal scene. I can't think of any other band from that era that could unplug and still sound so tight (and great) as a unit.

That's the best thing I've ever sheeen!!!

If you're to ask me, Part of it is because they just don't fit in with the "Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame". Quite frankly, The Minutemen aren't quite "Famous" Outside certain circles even though they're appreciated by musicians - Similar to the Flat Duo Jets, And that band has fewer fans (That I know of) even though Jack White likes them. It's almost as if some of the most influential and sincere bands are unpopular among most high school kids. But what do I know? I just listen to music.

I was a freshman in college that year. Saw them earlier on that tour. This gives me chills.

Mike Watt looks like Adam Sandler if Adam Sandler wasn't an asshole and had musical talent.

this is my absolute favorite version of this song. damn man...RIP D. Boon.. FUCKING LEGENDARY!

never really understood the subject matter of this songs lyrics.

jammin econo

punk rock is rock n roll

Weird that you'd say that since Metallica, at least early in their career, dabbled very much in what most would consider left-wing politics. Some doomsday environmentalist posturing in songs like "Blackened." That said, Minutemen were much more intelligent about it.

Nope. Better.

Amazing. And they were as good live as they were on record.

That's just so fucking great! Is it possible to get a copy of this footage?

D. Boon, Watt and Hurley

@gunnare123 small talk

@gunnare123 i forgot what year but it was at a vans warped tour...

i have met mike watt

Pure raw beautiful punk rock.

only 1 guy felt like a gringo..

ONE OF THE GREATEST RIFFS EVER!!! yes

Punk for people who don't (think they) like punk!

1 guy was so drunk when he watched this he accidentally clicked dislike.

BAD-ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@mikewines68 because they didn't make any money for anyone. Grammy's, Hall of fame, any kind of "distinguished award for that matter, is just a celebration of the generation of revenue. I think the Minutemen were kind of the antithesis to that. And I'd be disappointed if they were in that BS institution.

yeah fuck the rock and roll hall of fame. the ramones shoulda told 'em to go to hell. idon't know i think they felt like joey woulda liked that

@psionicman wow

@mikewines68 who gives a shit about rnr hall of fame. why is justin bieber a millionaire but george hurley isn't? music ain't about the money or the fame.

@mikewines68 why is metallica in and KISS isnt.........still havent figured that one out. they werent the best musicians but look at KISS' inlfuence and what they bought to rock n roll

the song that got me into the minutemen

@mikewines68 Because you're never rewarded for sticking to your guns - only for the Grand Sellout (and don't get me wrong, early Metallica is STILL the shit) - but if their not being in the rock and roll hall of fame is the price we have to pay for some of the best and realest music ever made, then so be it. What you do is support Mike and George in whatever they're choosing to do now. If you love them, help contribute to the place that gave them their break - SST records, and PLAY IT ALL!

This is the shit!!! love that you can get to this an instant!!

This song makes me wanna cry sometimes, I think of boon a lot. :(

This is from we jam econo

love how d.boon is playing the robert johnson kinda guitar........

Excllent. Thanks for posting!

This is something you need to smoke ALOT of pot to appreciate. lol

Mikewine68, same question for the Stooges...

god i hate politics. just some old geezer telling you what you can and cannot do.
