I was children in the early 80's. I saw Jello (DKs singer) give Tipper Gore and Oprah a real hard time for being censors on Os show in the 80s. Tony's one of those people that had a lot of chances over a long-ass time to not be cool and mostly humble. And he didn't. Ever. He's like Dave Grohl and Keanu. Kinda just gets even cooler over time. That it's his favorite song in the game series doesn't really surprise me. It just fits
He was given the opportunity after nailing one of the sickest tricks in history and the man took it. Money has always been king in America and if you're not corporate, you're broke. He also brought skateboarding mainstream so IDK. I think it was a good tradeoff.
Dude.. This is as far from punk as you can get. Promoting a skateboarding video game released by a multi-billion dollar company. Go out and ride a real skateboard. Bring a bluetooth speaker and listen to punk music while tearing up a church parking lot. Every hour wasted on this video game is one hour that could have gone towards learning real skills. Video games in general are the antithesis of punk. Gaming is a conformist, non-productive activity, and one that, along with porn addiction + and pharmaceutical drug prescriptions, are destroying the youth. Video games are why kids aren't learning to play instruments and forming bands, why there are so few venues and no music and or youth culture to speak oqh GMf. Tony Hawk is a sellout
@@NachtSchreck13 Hey, where'd you buy your skateboard? What city-built skatepark did you ride it at? What techstore did you buy your bluetooth speaker from? What multimillion dollar corporation's app are you using to listen to your music? All you've done in your paragraph is prove that you're the antithesis of punk, because you're trying to stick your nose in other people's business and believe that things can only be done YOUR way. You're literally policing people because they like video games, what are you, the government?
Yeah Andy is like everywhere in his own little corner but in things that made my youthful days special. In THPS series which molded my taste in music and also in the Guitar Hero series, making me pick up the guitar. Andy Gentile is a legend in his own right.
Skated with Hawk when he was like 15 or 16 in Phoenix, AZ at this kid Jeff Papour's house off of 36th st. just north of Shea blvd. this was sometime around 1984 or 1985. We had lot of the Dog Town guys who would come over to AZ for events and punk rock shows and they turned us on to pool skating. Never forget being stuffed into some old VW bug with 5 other skaters driving through alleys looking for empty pools to thrash. Ha! Those were the days.
This man is 55 years old and yet he is still so fucking cool. He actually has the vocals to do that fucking song while being the most famous skateboarders and one of the biggest video game icons of all time. This man is not normal and he is living proof that not all men are created equal.
lmao. Yet he wouldn’t quite be where he is especially in terms of his games if not for other men with their own specialities. We’re equal in our differences
TONY showed us skaters some of the best music of our lives!!! I've heard my best bands/tunes from skate videos!!! Shout out to all my fellow woodpushers, Skate or die!!!
One great thing that happened in 1990 I was skating in Tampa and Tony came tho our Skatepark. This was one of the songs played in the background. I got to talk to him for about 30 minutes
Whoa.. This is RAD!!! Total hidden treasure for skating,BMX, snowboard,moto cross and beyond 🤘🏿😎👹🤘🏿🎸!!! Seeing Tony Hawk singing with DK(Dead Kennedys).is bloody priceless!!! Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻
@@spacegrass6632 Listen, Im speaking for all the comment sections everywhere. My job is to criticize everything and everyone. How dare you use logical to dismantle my observation. Honestly, I would be someone filming in that crowd. I just thought of when we were all kids we would have been a riot listening to that music. These days we all pull out our phones and post it on YT. Where have the years gone…
IMAGINE playing a tony hawks game while having the soundtrack LIVE played next to you HOLY SHIT!!! i honestly always dreamed of that so its cool to see someone got to experience tony singing with the band while they play the game
I remember playing this song on guitar hero II, and wondering why it felt so familiar. It took me a while to realize that it was on this game, that I played briefly in day care when I was like 7 or 8.
memories: being a teenager with acne smoking dry ass weed listening to DK records in my friend's room mid to late 90's. some of the better memories i have.
Tony Hawk singing the Tony Hawk's track while someone plays Tony Hawk's, truly one of the moments ever.
One of the moments of our generation.
*brain implodes*
Tony Hawk is as cool as we thought he was as children.

Fucking A, Cotton.
I've seen Tony sing with a handful of punk bands and he surprisingly kills it everytime lol. THPS, Tony, thank you for everything over the years!!
We need more people like Tony Hawk in this world.
Part of what makes him amazing is that there are very few people that work this hard and are so chill ❤
Look more 👀
He's actually a really cool bloke. I used to see him a lot when I lived in L.A. and he was always a good dude.
Bro we been praising Tony as the goat
The fact that AndyTHPS gets to play the game while one of its songs is being played RIGHT next to him with TONY FUCKING HAWK singing it is fantastic
He was super nice!!!

Never would’ve thought that I would be in the same timeline as Tony hawk singing a Dead Kennedys song lmaoo
As an old man I want to comment. Tony hawk, you old bastard! Long live the birdman!
Never realized until now that Tony Hawk looks like Ian Curtis in the right context.
The guitar tone is spot on...
It really is, the pedal setup the guy had is spot on
I don’t know much about skateboarding, but Tony Hawk has indirectly introduced me to more great music than anybody.
Can u imagine hawk singing in a punk band singing in late 80s? Be pretty dope good voice for it
The 80s or his 80s?
@@wheedler the late 1980s
@@wheedler 😂😂😂
@@wheedler Late to the game but hahahaha dude that was funny!
He might still have functional knees if he had gone that route, though maybe his liver would have taken the hit
Tony Hawk’s pro singer
Tony Hawk got me into Dead Kennedys. Thanks Bird Man.
Me too
Same, the first THPS that i ever delve into was the underground series and when i heard Califirnia Uber Alles, it was like love at first sight.
Same

Tony has a surprisingly good voice.
Fucking legend. His vocals were actually pretty good!

Tony Hawk made my childhood amazing. Skateboarding was my life until i hit my 20s.. really thinking about going back to it.
Dew it
Get back to it
Go back. I'm 34 and never stopped
Police Truck was my favorite. When I first heard it at age 6, it hit me so hard. Ended up seeing DK live years later.
Police Truck > Superman
A legendary skater playing a legendary punk song while a legendary gamer plays in the background.
This is pure gold
Tony's from southern california. Of course, he has great music taste... "Here I am getting older all the time...."
Hawk should take over vocal duties for DK.
Yo, Tony Hawk is the GOAT
Wow I’m actually surprised he sang the original version and not the cleaned up version from the video game.
cause he's an og
Based Hawk
yo dude! Thanks for uploading this, and great camera work too! 🤝
So cool seeing you up there! Your channel has been super helpful for me. Thank you for helping this lifelong THPS enthusiast!
@@DangOlJesse ❤️
THPS tips with andyTHPS yoooo, you're the GOAT
Shot in iPhone - I was just lucky to have that bar next to you
We need to campaign to get you on Hawk vs. Wolf. Just need to find a way to do it without coming off as a noisy pestering child.
TONY showed us skaters some of the best music of our lives!!! I've heard my best bands/tunes from skate videos!!! Shout out to all my fellow woodpushers, Skate or die!!!
He’s still kickin’ 😂
Goat 🐐
Always wanted to see the birdman himself fly, 54 & still full of life.
Thanks for filming this!
You guys are incredible!!!!!
Like cause agree❤
He's loving life.
The Tony Hawk documentary is one of the best ever!
Tony is the Goat
Mad respect for singing the original lyrics lol
First time I've seen a punk singer sit while singing. But it's completely understandable. Props to Tony that was cool.
Un gran tipo Tony Hawk 😊
THPS is the reason why i listen to punk music.
One great thing that happened in 1990 I was skating in Tampa and Tony came tho our Skatepark. This was one of the songs played in the background. I got to talk to him for about 30 minutes
SHIVERS ALL OVER
Pure magic that 👍🏻.
The Band nailed it!
Great job!
Hahahahahahaha!!!!! Youare a riot Tony Hawk!! What the!!! For the win. I love the Dead Kennedys!!!! Live fast, Live hard!!! love you guys!!😁😁😁🙏❤
Nice nice nice million times
Hey this guy looks just like Tony Hawk.
Maya's dad?
Yeah just like that skateboarder, wonder what he's up to these days
This is something I’d never thought I’d see
Absolute legend
I definitely discovered Dead Kennedys thru THPS.
I almost forgot Dead Kennedys were my favorite band, and that Tony Hawk is my favorite dude
he fucking killed this shit! damn
Hope that combo lasted the whole song!
I'm pretty sure this dude andythps has had 20 minute+ combos before.
@@offtheradar5767 Oh yeah dude for sure there's some insane combos out there. But to perform in front of an audience like this must be challenging.
@@KINGBublepop oh yea definitely a lot of stress but I think he was able to pull through
it was 97 million, i landed at the end of the song
@@andyTHPS Hell yeah dude!!
oh hell yeh LFG tony!
If life was a competition I'd say Tony Hawk won
This wasn't what I was looking for when I got on UA-cam tonight, but it is now
This was my favourite song I found through THPS period.
This is one of the best covers of all time.
It’s good but is it on the level of Jimi Hendrix cover of all along the watchtower
@@debomb721 wat does that even mean
So wholesome
Dang that had to have been a fun show to be at
Get it Hawk!!!!
Is the band called “The Downhill Jam”? Bloody great!
Whoa.. This is RAD!!! Total hidden treasure for skating,BMX, snowboard,moto cross and beyond 🤘🏿😎👹🤘🏿🎸!!! Seeing Tony Hawk singing with DK(Dead Kennedys).is bloody priceless!!! Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻

I remember getting this game and hearing this song on the intro.. cool dead kenedies on a video game!!!!

Tony is still legit.!!
Brilliant
Wtf... I love this!
Guitar player did East Bay Ray proud.
That was actually a great cover!
This is the best thing I ever seen!!!!!!
I still skate at 46 (sometimes) because of Tony!🤘🎸🛹
This is awesome, thank you for posting!
I'd love to hear Tony Hawk singing FEAR's "Beef Bologna"!
I remember playing this song on guitar hero II, and wondering why it felt so familiar. It took me a while to realize that it was on this game, that I played briefly in day care when I was like 7 or 8.
Tony and I have Variflex in common. What a great time.
Yes
One of the coolest things I’ve seen
Tony is the best! Of course he would kill it singing too!
Best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam.
Nice to know the Casbah is still standing and putting on shows.
Thanks for sharing this. One of thr coolest videos I've ever seen. Wish I could of been there!
Tony is such a rad dude
Thanks for sharing. Tha's great!
Love Tony hawk so much dude shaped so many peoples lives
Hell yeah That's Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Tony! I mean, Mr. Hawk!
I REALLY gotta start going to The Casbah more often. I've only been there really once, when I was playing in a band that opened up for someone.
Tony Hawk is a gift!
memories: being a teenager with acne smoking dry ass weed listening to DK records in my friend's room mid to late 90's.
some of the better memories i have.
Fuck yeah Dee I'm with you. I was into metal until I heard DKs. Way, way more menacing and frightening!!
Oh damn! That Jello intonation on the song is suburb.
Why did this make me so emotional?!
What a cool event!!! This games and it's badass soundtracks changed so many teenage years!!
1:38 Song begins
Tony Hawk is the shit dude🤘 would love to see him at 80 years old doing a 900 on his wheelchair 🔥
Cool
