In this video I react to Suicidal Tendencies - you cant bring me down and war in my head
Rocky George was a criminally underappreciated guitarist.
Amen!
He would've been popular if he continued playing in big name bands.
He still is!!!
Truth! I was about to post that. Guess I'm not the only one.
Truth
Rocky George never given the respect of a guitar virtuoso. He had unbelievable speed and melody. For his contributions to thrash music, he dominated and Kerry King couldn't hold his lunch. Rocky can not only shred but switch up to bluesy rock jazz fusion influence and tear into a solo then play lead and back up. Totally underrated and never ever mentioned
Great player but I wouldn't go that far
Suicidal mosh pits are one the craziest pits I've ever been in. One of the most underrated bands ever... Suicidal 4 life
I've been to over a half dozen Suicidal shows and was right up front against the rail at all of them (Except their tour with Metallica). Kinda funny but I never really paid attention to what was going on behind me.
Suicidal pits are good rough fun but when I say "craziest" I mean violent and that would have been Machine Head for me. Even a broken nose and concussion at Killswitch/Lamb of God show wasn't as brutal as Machine Head. Punk pits are usually tamer than metal ones but it depends what you're in the mood for. Last mosh pit i was in was Arch Enemy and Amorn Armarth, and At the Gates.
ST4L❤
Rocky George 1 of the most underrated guitarists ever.
Also the bassist now is the bassist for Metallica.
And theres only one Mike " cyco miko" Muir
@DragonChaserKev ya i think rob trujillo belongs in ST and Infectious Grooves more than metallica i dont think his style is really meant for trash ass metallica
Now Robert Trujillo son is the basis for them saw them a couple weeks ago that’s fucken bad ass to have his son now playing with them
@@evanricheson1630 What? Rob is a Metallica bro now!
@@vovindequasahi has been for a good couple of years now, bro.
“Institutionalized” and “How will i laugh tomorrow” are powerful songs, at least to some of us with mental health.
Dont forget i shot the devil
Born to be psycho 🤘
@Keith Nowak ik it's crazy how one song could get you in a load of shit w/ the government and stuff like that
@@evanricheson1630 same happened to NWA.
You know it's good shit when the feds reacts.....🤣
« Sublimanial »....first time I heard suicidal tendencies was on GTA5 radio station
The ending track was the start of "Pledge your Allegiance"
Rocky George was criminally underrated as a guitar player back in the 80's and 90's. His playing was fluid, clean, complex and incredibly intense. He was a staple in my daily rotation.
Didn’t he take lessons from Joe satraini?
@@andybowman3867 He did not. Rocky came from a schooled Jazz background. I don't think he has ever crossed paths with Joe.
Suicidals - how will i laugh tomorrow
yes,... and,.. alone
Yeah they were definitely an influence for Ice T’s band Body Count
DarkMike85's Dark World they did do their own version of institutionalized
Suicidal came out in '80, body count came out in '89
He even stated it, he said body counts influences were Sabbath Suicidal and Slayer
Lol Ice T body count was influenced by them
Ice T body count is after suicidal Tendencies
Rocky George on guitar (now w/Fishbone). Possibly the most underrated guitarist in metal. Robert Trujillo (now w/Metallica) on bass. Not only is Rocky a guitar god, hes a super nice dude.
Rocky is with Fishbone? Did not know that. I'm a huge Fishbone fan. I hung out with Angelo for a while several years ago. He's hilarious!
Dave Lombardo is Suicidals current drummer, you should check out his drum cam footage from war inside my head.
For me the best Suicidal Tendencies album is "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today", killer riffs from start to finish and some of the best guitar solos i ever heard, fantastic album
Yes The Miracle has a killer sound
Their bassist plays in Metallica now. And Rocky was a real Hardcore shred hero. Some Hardcore definitely had some cultural overlaps with with the rap scene. Bunch of Latinos, blacks and white skater punks united during the 80s and 90s. Real crossover happening here. And moshing has definitely evolved during the last 40 years or so. Broken bones, shattered skulls, chipped teeth, dislocated jaws and joints. In the 80s it was nothing short of an alcohol fueled brawl with some fitting background music. 90s were hard too but the scenes had grown closer and started merging instead of fighting each other. By the 00s mosh had developed a kind of code of honor. Some unwritten ruled you should abide by especially in normal metal. Women are being protected from serious harm and molestation, fallen moshers are being helped back up on their feet, injured people are being escorted to the nearest medical tent etc. Also no karate and slam dancing in the pit. There are some of the more Hardcore and Beatdown scenes who don't respect some of these rules, but their behavior is mostly looked down upon.
That's some great information from a man with a great name and a great profile picture!
❤
Some other good songs: "I Feel Like Shit". "How can I laugh tomorrow", "Nobody Hears", "Institutionalized"
Trip at the brain 🤘
Yes,.. Nobody Hears
I partied with these guys so many times and they were pretty mellow dudes after this you need to try some Exodus toxic waltz
Liz Dauenhauer My Cousin’s band (Zoetrope) used to tour with them in the late 80’s and he got to know Mike Muir pretty good. ST had their crazy side too lol
And if you hit the floor you can always crawl.
CHINO PUKNZ INLAND EMPIRE SUICIDAL👍
Everybody's doing the Toxic Waltz
You should listen to "Alone" off of the album Lights, Camera, Revolution. If I had to choose five all time favorite SxTx songs it'd be in the top two.
Great choice! \m/
Yes very good choice! Personnaly i'm more a Join the Army type
Alone 🙏
They are all my favorite songs. I am glad I was alive back then!
Rocky George, my favourite guitar player of all time. He talked about using the guitar to be a second vocalist, many of his solos are so epic and basically sound like someone singing
the band changed members so many times but this was the epic times. rocky george on lead, mike clark rythym, robert truijiolo on bass, rj herrara on drums. the best ST
NWA was opening shows for ST at some point, just not in LA, ST was banned at the time lmao
ST was my best friends favorite group. Although I have been a metal-head my whole life, I never heard this band's music till now. My best friend passed away in 2017 and now I see how they influenced him. This lead singer's dress and style, my friend dressed so much like this. We had grown apart after high school, and reconnected years later. This brings him back in a way. It's bitter sweet.
Yes Rocky was a very underrated guitarist... But anybody other than Mike Clark playing behind him I have a hard time imagining... And the way that Robert held down that bass line... What an amazing lineup...... When I lived in San Diego I went on a field trip with my son.... And I'm pretty sure I stood right there where they are on the album cover
I'm a huge fan of Rocky but you're right. Mike is an absolutely beast of a rhythm player.
This iteration of ST was the best. Rocky George was unreal on guitar, Robert Trujillo’s pre-Metallica days, Mike Muir’s vocals, Mike Clark, R.J. Herrera on drums...so good. This is my favorite album of all time. Every song is fantastic.
Rocky George was simply on the level of Marty Friedman (Megadeth) and EVH (Van Halen). Masters of shredding. ST has not only some of the best punk songs on their first album, but they established many Thrash classics in the late 80s/early 90s
That's Rocky George on lead guitar and Mike Clark on rhythm guitar. Fast as hell!
They are so bad ass!! True!🤘
Butt I brought my ten year old on his birthday to see Suicidal and they sang happy birthday to him and he got to sing back up on
pledge you Allegiance.
They were so great!!!!
This is why I love these reaction videos, I've been listening to ST since I was born, it was my uncle's favorite band, and it's so cool to see people love it 40 years later. BTW, NWA was the ST of the rap world
Rocky so underrated . Just fucking shredding throughout the entire song .
I can't sell you how many times this song has pulled me out of the depths and given me the means to keep moving forward.
Cyco Miko is actually pretty chill, he and the band hang out with fans before and after shows, punk and metal fans themselves they never forgot their roots, just some skate kids from Venice Beach area of S. Cali known as "Dog Town", now legendary in their own right for pioneering their own sound and style. "S.T. -Suicidal For Life!"
that last outro song was " Pledge your allegiance" off of "How can I laugh tomorrow when I cant even smile today" Suicidal Tendencies was my fav band growing up. I remember seeing them at back yard parties. Cool reaction.
Moshing started off as "slam dancing" in the punk scene, sometimes with real brutality involved (throwing elbows, or bottles), but usually with just casual rubgy-style collisions and the occasional black eye. I hear the the DC scene was pretty rough in the 1980s and the DC guys would come up to New York and bring their maniacs with them and everyone was like "WTF is this?". In the 90s "moshing" was mostly just cooperative semi-violence that was supposed to be fun and more or less respectful (people watched out for other people) but it was always a crap shoot. I remember Green Day stopping TWICE as the first act at Lollapalooza and bitching out people in front for being assholes.
Rocky is such an awesome guitarist! Man I want to hear more from him.
The last track is a song called Pledge your Allegiance off the How will I laugh tomorrow album. Which can out the same day as Metallica’s Andjustice for all album. I worked in a record store at the time and that day I swore I swim the lottery. HAHAHA Every concert I ever saw was from the mosh pit. Suicidal was my first tattoo when I turned 21. (1991) People are still caught off guard by that tattoo, that states I have Suicidal Tendencies. I remember listening to Suicidal Failure off their first album. (Self Titled) The blue bandannas signify the Crypts. Suicidal despite the name were a very positive band and still are putting out albums. The line up was constantly changing. The only original member left is the lead singer Mike Muir. The first album was the number one selling thrash metal/punk album of all time for a few years. Until the Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.) came out with a little ditty called Speak English or Die. This was a great time to be alive in that scene!!!
My first show ever was Metallica, Danzig & Suicidal Tendencies in ‘93. Mike Muir had a broken leg and rocked out dancing just like these videos, sitting on a couch! It was amazing! ST4Life
This band was shredding before I was born. I love there original stuff. I have a bad habit of destroying things while I listen to this song. Love em.
Can't Bring Me Down has been one of my anthems for 25 years. Glad you like it.
That outtro track was "pledge your allegiance". I was fortunate enough to be in the "possessed to skate 2012" clip. One of my all time favourite bands
This was Suicidal Tendencies crossover album from hardcore punk to a more thrash sound mixed with punk. Should check out Possessed to Skate, Institutionalized from there earlier days, so many great songs they have in their catalog. Should check out Trip at the Brain, another classic, there bassist left to join Metallica & the former/original drummer in Slayer is now in Suicidal. ST Army 🤘
Oh yeah. This band and Dirty Rotten Imbeciles were the soundtrack to my high school days.
CoC The Accused and some CroMags as well lol
Awesome songs by an awesome band. You Can't Bring Me Down in particular. Rocky George kicks ass on guitar. Lights... Camera... Revolution! is an all time classic album.
Man, you're sheer enjoyment of this made me laugh Nd smile and remember how hot this was hearing it in high school when it came out. I just subscribed to your page. I love how you're digging on it.
The Track at the End that faded out Song is Pledge Your Allegiance -Great song especially live Good Lyrics - ive seence them 6 Times - You have to Listen to Institutionalized -by Them - I think War Inside My Head Live in The Car Park -That Might of Been one of the First Shows in LA they were Banned from Playing in the City or State for some Years They were accussed of Being a Gang
Thanks for this T. I'd never really given a serious listen to Suicidal Tendencies back in the day, and this kicks some serious ass! I think I just found discovered my new workout soundtrack!
the NWA of metal bands is Body Count, Ice T's thrash band that was heavily influenced by Suicidal Tendencies.
Rocky George's playing on this is absolutely filthy, what a legend!
"You waste your time, let me waste my time." That's a pretty prophetic quote right there.
You're somewhat right about the NWA part because Suicidal was banned from playing LA up until about 89.
God damn
Was it because they were considered a gang?
I was 31 when this song first came out in 1990. Real music.
Interesting fact: Mike Muir the vocalist Is the brother of one of the original dogtown skaters who were the 1st to skate empty pools. There was a drought in Southern California so people were not allowed to fill their pools and these surfer kids took skateboards and broke into people's yards to skate the pools. So there's a big skateboarding influence in the Suicidal sound.
lol, just got to the end. 100% correct about what their shows were like. I first saw them in KY at "the Jockey Club" in 1984 and then like twice a year from '87 through the mid 1990s. In 1996 I got to open for them at Bogart's where I'd seen them play over 20 times. Great memories. There was a dude who would jump off the speaker stacks every show and ended up going to the hospital three or four times from that, but as bananas as it looks, the second you fell or stumbled five pairs of hands shot out to pull you up. It was a really tight scene and the adrenalin levels kept you from feeling anything until the next day.
I really miss being able to do that!
I was a teenager when this came out. We were cranking Ozzy, AC/DC, then, this came out around Slayer time. Our parents and neighbors hated it. These songs would cause the most hostile basketball games in the driveway between friends. Black steel toed boots, leather jackets. We called it D Ball. Death ball. Good memories...And I loved the review.
ST hit their stride when they got Rocky George and Mike Clark (the guitarists). Rocky's leads soar, and Clark wrote a majority of their classic thrash songs.
Man I will never forget waiting for "Join the Army" to release. I saw a promo for it in Thrasher mag. It had been two or three years since they had toured and everyone in Ohio thought ST was broken up, so we were freaking out. When I went to the record store by University of Cincinnati to buy it on release day Mike Muir was there hanging out at the store. Fuggin nuts. What a great day.
Suicidal started in the early 80's as a"SkatePunk" band. They are from Venice, California (well most of them are). They have deep roots in the skateboarding world. Mike Muir's (the singer) brother, Jim Muir is the founder of Dogtown Skateboards. Their art on the boards was highly influenced by the graffiti art in the area they grew up in. They were voted biggest assholes by a music magazine at about the time their first album came out. When their second album came out, their sound had evolved more into a crossover thrash sound. Later in their career, they even introduced funk into their music, leading to the formation of the offshoot band Infectious Grooves. The guitarist, Rocky George, went on to play in other bands such as Fishbone and the Cro-Mags. Mike Clark, the other guitarist (at least at this time, he has moved on now) was part of another Venice band named No Mercy. Their singer flaked out, so Mike Muir stepped up and sang for them on their debut album (and only album), Widespread Bloodshed.....Blood Runs Red. Several of the songs on that album ended up being re-recorded by Suicidal and appeared on their album, Controlled By Hatred....Feel like Shit. Robert Trujillo, the bassist, went on to play with Ozzy Osbourne and has been a member of Metallica for quite some time now. They are still around and have actually been quite prolific, releasing several albums in the past few years. These albums have returned to the faster, more aggressive style that they were known for.
ST is 100% influential!! Mike Muir now has the best percussionist on Earth in Dave Lombardo! Please look up their tracks: Suicidal Maniac, Disco’s out... Murder’s in, Human Guinea Pig, Subliminal, I Saw Your Mommy, Lovely, etc.
Rocky George is a legend. So many nights skating with ST in my headphones. Suicidal for life! 🤘🍻
Such a great band and they sound so different on every album,that last song was pledge your allegiance they finish every concert with that song and get the crowd up on stage,it's craziness 🔥😎 the lead singer and bass player have another band called infectious grooves,funk drivin metal,U should do Punk it up you'll love that shit I promise😎🤘🔥😁
Seen these guys more than any other band. Fucking great shows everytime and the fans are always chill and respectful. S.T. Army for life!!!
do Institutionalized from them, by the way Tom Araya from Slayer has a cameo in the video(the original video). Their first album is a Punk classic
Definitely. Go back in time, they get punkier, go forward they get more metal. Institutionalized is one of their classics. "All I wanted was a Pepsi!"
I love how you were immediately like I have to check out more
I saw them with DRI and Wake the Dead (Mike Clark's band) in 2013 and that was easily the best show I've ever been to. It was at a small club and it was amazing. I even chipped my tooth in the pit and it was still the best
LEGENDS!! Glad you enjoyed the song dude. Like all great music this one speaks across gecades, cultures, and background, as all art should!!
SxTx is one of the best shows you can see! Saw them two times, one of them I as actually working filming the performance.. Mike Muir was just at my side.. I'll never forget :)
War Inside my Head is probably my favourite song from them and the live version recorded in Paris in 2012 is one of the coolest things on UA-cam!
by the way, the "outro" song in the clip is "Pledge Your Allegiance", another great track
I saw ST in 92 and 2016 both with Megadeth. ST put on the same energy-filled kick-ass show both times.. great 1st concert for my 14yr old
Theres an interview with Ice-T and he talks about how Suicidal started the Gangsta thing in music, back in the early 80's.
Yea, I was looking into that because the date of this band and the video pre-date NWA. I'm very curious to know how Suicidal and maybe the hardcore punk scene may have influenced early west-coast gangsta rap.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT yeah it's an interesting concept. Shows theres much more commonality between genres and ideas that what we initially see.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT I cant find the interview. But here's Ice-T's Body Count covering Suicidal. Bother versions are bad ass. ua-cam.com/video/X9jXnZS3ouU/v-deo.html
Send Me Your Money, Alone, Hearing Voices,... sooo many great ST songs man. Do a couple of albums. How Will I Laugh Tomorrow, and Lights Camera Revolution. Killer stuff.
Watching you for the first time hearing suicidal and the way you enjoyed it throughout the song made me happy that you appreciate what you were hearing. And yes these guys had a sound all of their own. They made a big enough impression on Ice-T to blend into a metal band that wonderful band Body Count. He wanted something a little like them a little like Sabbath and a little like Slayer all into one. Ice-T even went as far to do a cover of institutionalized. Back in the day even up to now they're still the band that you probably would not want to fuck with and the fans too. Because like suicidal and their crazy selves their fans are crazy too. Sometimes that not give a fuck attitude can be easily lit with some suicidal jamming out and someone deciding to test you. I look forward to seeing some more of your videos in the future.
Suicidal 4 life!
You gotta check out nobody hears and love vs loneliness.. Great tracks and both a little more melodic
Ironically as tough as their music is I heard all these guys were all super cool and continue to be to this day!
used to skate so hard to suicidal!! these guys are legends and so underrated. They are like punk metal and hip hop all in one some how.
Just saw them play this live last night. Mike is STILL just as energetic as he is here despite being 60.
The message of this song is needed more today than ever before
Rocky George is the guitarist. Fun fact: the bassist (trujillo, now with Metallica) accidentally cut the tip of one of Rocky George’s fingers off. I think by shutting a car door on it but I could be wrong. Favorite band in high school in the 80’s. Check out ‘institutionalized’ from the first album -1983
New subscriber. This was my 1st video of yours that I've watched. Look forward to more. As some have already stated, Rocky George is DEFINITELY an underrated guitarist. He is SO good! One of the best out there, but barely any recognition. Sad. As for more ST songs, some have already made good suggestions. So I don't wanna repeat them. I would suggest "Gotta Kill Captain Stupid". One of my personal faves. Enjoy the ST rabbit hole & keep up the GREAT work! 🤘🤘🤘
My top ST songs in no particular order really
-How Will I Laugh Tomorrow...
-Nobody Hears
-Go’N Breakdown
-Can’t Stop
-The Miracle
-Give It Revolution
-Which Way To Free
-Pledge Your Allegiance
-Disco’s Out, Murders In
-Trip At The Brain
-Institutionalized
Don’t miss out on Mike’s side project Infectious Grooves either!!!! That’s some funky shit!!!
Love ya brother thanks for being you stay solid
These guys where my band , growing up in the 80's, young teen, misfit, have the fortune of seeing them multiple times at small venues, mosh pit advice: never go to the ground, stay on your feet
I seen this band in concert. Back in 1991. I bought their first record in 1982, when I was 20. When I lived in LI, NYC.
Gosh, it's channels like you that give me hope for the future. Long time punk and always felt that the institutions at the top survive by spreading discord among the "poor" or "others". When I came up, Punk and Rap were new and one. I'm really happy that young guns are coming up and appreciating the fight (we lost).
👍TnT They didn't have a mosh pit, it was a tornado everytime. It was all cool, if you fell down they would have you up in half a second. Seen them 3 times then I saw RobTrullio with Ozzy and Metalic. Rocky def a guitar fav. One more thing, Thank you. Great vid
I love your appreciation for punk rock and all styles of music
ROCKY GEORGE!!! Rocking to him when I was 16!! Love this classic!!
I remember watching that video on Mtv back in day seeing on the head bangers ball .
Body Count even covered Institutionalized (even thought they changed the lyrics), Ice even states in another cover that Suicidal is one of his favorite bands. Cannot go wrong with both song choices that you chose. Love both and good to hear that you liked them, and even you’re quote about the NWA of Punk makes sense, they were banned from a lot of places due to people mistaken them for gang members because of the bandanas and image
classic old skate thrash !! they were pioneers . . . and 'impossible' to get any 'airplay' back in the day, so, sucess was difficult to achieve . . . the song "institutionalized" .... its gonna leave a mark . .
Dude you’ve got to react to Bad Religion or The Misfits
Nailed it brother…The NWA of punk and metal…Rocky George he plays for FISHBONE now…Rocky is a master of guitar…
You gotta check out the album, "How Will I laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today". You won't be sorry...it's KILLLLLERR!!!
Thank you. You always come through with great suggestions
The older brother of the singer was a member of the Legendary Z Boys skateboarding team made famous by the movie Lords of Dogtown and the singer’s brother founded Dogtown Skateboards
These guys are west coast OGs. They were banned from playing in LA. 😂That just made them more popular. Suicidal! 🤘
Seeing them the first time they came to Boston was a life changing experience for sure..!!! Something i will never forget..!!!
Yes! Love it! Thanks for this reaction✌🏽
Much Love. You nailed it!
Much like the legendary Bad Brains, ST changed their sound significantly as the years went on. I’ve always been more partial to their early tunes and sound, but there’s no question this song rocked.
Really glad you did this! Subscribed!
Seen these guys with Metallica back in the day!! They need to tour together again!! Great band🤘🏻🤘🏻
Happy to see youtube reactors picking up on ST. You picked a couple classics. ST for me (I was a huge fan at like 14) was more about their passion for their community and friends and doing your own thing not so much being a bad ass.
I’ve been into Suicidal Tendencies since ‘83. Back in the day it wasn’t called mosh pit. Back in the day it was slam dancing. At the age of 46 I am still slamming with the young kids.Suicidal is still doing it up. Still touring. You gotta listen to the lyrics. They mean something. It’s all about believing in yourself. If you can’t believe in yourself how anyone else?
Yes I've been waiting for someone to react to this
