This song came out when I was a teenager. I was shy and a loner, and didn't have many friends, and I spent a lot of time listening to music. ST's music, in particular this song and "Nobody Hears" gave voice to a lot of the negative feelings I was feeling inside, and helped me realize that I wasn't alone - that there were other people out there who felt like I did and maybe understood what I was going through. That was something I very much needed at the time, so props to Suicidal Tendencies, and heavy metal music in general, for helping to lift me out of a bad place and really find my footing later on.
Mike Muir had this gift to where he could express exactly how depression feels into the perfect words. Words that could even make people who don't suffer from mental illness feel the pain
The guitar player in this incarnation of Suicidal is Rocky George. Both he and the Metallica guitarist, Kirk Hammet, had the same guitar teacher, Joe Satriani. Joe is a legend that also taught Steve Vai.
Been following for a while. Don't always agree with you, but I love and respect you, my brother. IMO, one of Rocky George's best solos. Love the reaction. Keep doing what you do. Peace!
This has always been one of the songs I listened to when things seemed overwhelming. Not sure if it is the music or the words, or a combination of both which would always lift me up; got me through many dark times. Thanks for reacting to it, much appreciated!
I got a Suicidal Tendencies tattoo 27 years ago, I'm 48 now. Whoa, that makes me feel old now lol. Funny you mention Metallica. Their bass player joined Metallica in 2003.
I live in a small town in N.E. Nevada where at the time of this release there was no access to this type of music. I opened a record/music store and played the hell out of music like this in my store. All of a sudden the youth in our area had a place to get the music they heard on Head Bangers Ball. Sweet memories.
Ice-T is a huge Suicidal Tendencies fan. His metal band Body Count did an awesome cover of Suicidal's "institutionalized" song that's worth checking out.
This song came out when I was around 14 or 15 - and hearing it instantly took me back to playing it in my bedroom, listening to the lyrics and identify with the frustration of not having words to describe the feelings I experienced. When I hear it now I hear pain and angst - also a cry for help - someone to hear the pain that is going on inside. Having had several friends take their own life I pray that no one has to walk that road - pay attention to people that talk about suicide, be a good listener, and make sure that they have a professional that they can turn to. It is truly life and death.
Back in the 80s, I listened to Suicidal Tendencies. The song I most remember is "I Saw Your Mommy (and your Mommy's dead)" or something like that. This will be the first I've heard from them in decades. Yes, I'm commenting before I watch it. Hey, Tye, how about some Dead Kennedys? They were way more popular than ST was back then. Holiday in Cambodia, Riot, Government Flu, MTV- Get Off The Air, Jock-O-Rama or At My Job; all are great songs. Keep up your great work, my Friend. Love your content.
I was 14 when this masterpiece came out. It was met with heavy resistance by the Satanic Panic idiots because they said it encouraged suicide. F***ing idiots. This song explains the emptiness a lot of us feel at times. It then explodes and you can feel the rage most of us feel in the guitar work of Rocky. To me it provided (and STILL provides) an outlet.
Like niels123, this song hit my life at a point when I was in transition and it was a release hearing someone else share their pain when I was fighting to hide my own. I still play it now and again to remind me that despite how much things can hurt at the moment, eventually we work through the other side, if we just keep moving forward. I let them rage and scream and cry for me, so that I can, if only for a bit, let out a bit of that inner ARGH before returning to a calm surface.
I hear a lot of Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) in Robert Trujillo's bass part on this one. Never noticed that before! Great pick, as you can see Mike Muir and company were a great help to a lot of young people. You're right, they definitely had Metallica inspirations. To respond to your request I was hanging with my best friend at the time, probably eating cereal and listening to tunes after middle school was let out for the day. I really felt a lot of these lyrics then.
Robert Trujillo didn’t join the the band until “Controlled by Hatred” in ‘98 under the name Stymee. He was never on the original recording of How Will I Laugh, that was Bob Heathcote. I agree, Robert Trujillo was a great addition, bringing a funkier sound to later songs.
I thank you for mentioning jesus. I was 12 or 13 when this came out. This song was all about us forgotten kids. Plain and simple. Black or white. The first generation of single parent households and turn key environments. Everyone loved this shit and race was not an issue. It kicked ass. This was the only inspiration we had to prove our worth to the parents that were to self absorbed. I still turn this shit up loud and kick ass at life because of it.
Modern Renaissance Man i got 2 replies from 2 members of this band yesterday?! drummer R. j. Herrera and bassist Bob Heathcote! R.j. has agreed to give me his autograph!!
I hear metallica in there! 😉 10/10 perfect heavy metal song. Beautiful riff, yes black guy looks slightly out of place there with the others lol, not being racist or judgemental 😂
Go f yourself with art of rebellion is better :D :D :D Worst album of theirs! :D Art of rebellion was the start of decline and albums got worse and worse.
@@GrumpyGrndad you have no idea about music, everthing from suicidal tendencies till suicidal for life kicks arse, then mike finished the band, so he lost his main back bone of the band, he ended up going backwards 15 years and playing songs like clap like ozzy and shit, he dumbed his self down to go with the musicians he plays with now...

Yeah it's one of their best songs for sure.
Meeee tooo. Takes me back.

Yupp, you were not alone.
You just described me, my friend. Suicidal for life.

I think he also taught Alex Skolnick from testament
rocky taught his self didnt he, only heard him say it his self in an interview
Rocky pisses on all of them.
Ice Cube.......errrrrrrrr.........Rocky George is a very underrated guitarist. One of the best ever in thrash metal.
I agree! I think he studied under Satriani

S T for life
R.j. replied to me on Facebook messenger yesterday!

Rocky George badass underrated!
Great band with great messages in their songs,U should checkout the heavy emotion version of this song,it's softer but still great😎🤘

SxTx was the soundtrack to my depression during and after high school got me thru alot of sh¡t
Listened to this song a lot during Desert Shield Desert Storm
Great guitar work
Anybody got a pepsi?
So that's all you wanted??? Just one pepsi?!? ;-)
suicidal tendencies - i saw your mommy (lol)
The thing I like seeing the best, was the rodents using her hair as a nest🤘
Check out can't bring me down by Suicidal Tendencies
Modern Renaissance Man i got 2 replies from 2 members of this band yesterday?! drummer R.
j. Herrera and bassist Bob Heathcote! R.j. has agreed to give me his autograph!!
Sending this lp off to be signed by him!
One of my husbands favorite groups
Then your husband is a great man!
Just noticed how much Mike must of liked Motorhead.
Institutionalized👍
Halestorm--Love Bites(But So Do I)
I remember st from back in the day. I think they still tour
I like this one!
Try "Don't Call Me Dude", by Scatterbrain....
and not going down with the ship
Dire Straits "Telegraph Road" Omg that relax song
The bassist in this group is now the bassist for Metallica. Very talented slap bassist. You should check out some of his solos.
Great bassist, but Trujillo wasn't on this album. He started on the next album- but he is excellent.
some of it sounds like a surf song or a trance that could help you focus when you are surfing
not a surf song. but may certainly help you focus while surfing.
You should do "leave a light on" by Tom Walker 🤗
I needed this song when I was a kid. Please have a listen to Philosophy of the World by The Shaggs if you haven't heard it.
you should listen to PETER FRAMPTON - Do You Feel Like We Do
Suey FOR LIFE
A person doesn't have to be into your other aspects they can just like the music you play and react to
React to Emmylou Harris & Albert Lee At Beat CluB 1977 "Country Boy" High Quality
Jay-Z sounds a lot like lil-Wayne. Can I make a reaction video now?
Some old stuff up in here
It be good if you heard the heavy emotional version of this same song
I hear metallica in there! 😉 10/10 perfect heavy metal song. Beautiful riff, yes black guy looks slightly out of place there with the others lol, not being racist or judgemental 😂
what black guy they guy with the black hat is Mexican as is the lead singer and drummer... his name is rocky george....
we need the lyrics !
react to Korn freak on a leash or/and falling away from me :)
Korn dogs korn on the cob korn pone korn sucks
That “IceCube” dude is Rocky Scott, he is the one shredding the guitar solos...
Rocky George is his name.
Rocky George
It's the original mix!!! Hell yeah!!! The remastered shit sounds terrible, and you can never find the original anymore!!!
Wrong video of this song. You should’ve watched the official video.
They have much better songs, almost anything off the album, Art of rebellion is better.
Go f yourself with art of rebellion is better :D :D :D Worst album of theirs! :D Art of rebellion was the start of decline and albums got worse and worse.
@@GrumpyGrndad controlled by hatred was the best to me. It was all downhill from there.
disagree this is a 10.
