These guys spent the night in my house when they were touring the US - I want to say it was 96. Good dudes.
Fucking incredible. What where they like before Shape of Punk?
Amazing ❤
Brah why didn't you fuck them?
good looking out bruv !!!!
I will always love this song both for its heaviness and what it stands for. However, knowing what Refused did AFTER this album is even more inspiring.
If you don't know, do some research. It is well worth the effort.
I feel like part of me was dead until 15 minutes ago when I heard these guys for the first time in my pathetic life . .. that part of me is alive, alert, and thrumming now
Under what rock have I existed?!?
❤❤❤
Pop rock? (Apologies, I'll see myself out)
Damn. Cant believe I have been under a rock this whole time and never heard of Refused before until I decided to find out who made the Cyberpunk songs in game... You guys are kick ass!
I LOVE that people are getting into Refused in 2023 because of Cyberpunk.
@@B1tterAndThenSome I wholeheartedly agree.
True! Same for me XD This Band is a Gem!
Ever since I saw this vid on Burning Hearts dvd “Hang the VJ”, my ears have never been the same. Thanking god they are getting more recognition now!
This band shaped my high school fashion style, music taste, and overall interests. And nearly 25 years later...it's still one of the heaviest songs I've ever heard.
My punk band wild cherry opened for them in my hometown Halmstad Sweden when I was 15 years old. Someone through meat on stage and Dennis got really mad,
Same dude, listened to this waiting for the bus
@@emmaejwertzmusic6931 woah, I’d love to play a show with Dennis.
Cringe. Only normies emulate musicians fashion style.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 your comment is equally as cringe sorry
How have I never heard this... One of the best lead singers ever...
Irvin Ucan If you weren’t a teenager in the 90’s then you’re excused.
I saw them in Barcelona in 97! Fucking amazing! Saw them again last month...still fucking amazing!
The more and more I hear of these guys the more I realized Keanu wasn't even needed in Cyberpunk. Just have this lead singer be the voice actor too lol. This dude is the real life Johnny Silverhand through and through
It’s funny bc Johnny is from Texas and Sven is Swedish, would be awesome.
Go outside
Live life before you can't anymore
If all you can relate to is a video game when listening to this song
Then you
NEED to
Go to a concert
Go to a show
Start a band with your friends or just go outside and break something that doesn't belong to you
Honestly wtf is with this generation?????
@@jspence8863 lmao, chill out, my dude. Refused was featured music in that game, people are going to talk about it, if you can’t handle that get off UA-cam and go touch grass yourself.
@@jspence8863 Ye, what's up with this generation who doesn't want to go outside and randomly break stuff ? God, I wish that spirit of breaking stuff for breaking stuff, which the punk movement is so famously known for /s, was still out there.
Lol, but Keanu funded a lot of the game, his motorcycle company is even in the game "Arch motorcycles" but this guy is as cool as Johnny for sure
I'm somewhat bummed that I had never heard refused back in 1996. This song and this album would have changed my teenage self's life.
Well, your [inser current age]-self also deserves inspiring music.
Same here bro
Freedom and War Music are such underrated albums. It's like people think they peaked at TSOPTC and they were just getting started in my opinion
this is pure energy man...raw power...
4real
I like to believe that this is what John Connor really got up to after Terminator 2, being the lead singer of a band like this, I could see it.
HAhaha
According to Terminator: Dark Fate he ended up as a poorly implemented plot device in a dogshit movie.
Punk singer. Punk resistance leader.
@@redherronrecords I come from a timeline where that movie doesn't exist.
@@j.dwillesen7063 I just arrived and i want to travel back.
The drummer so good he can make a 3 piece sound like a 8 piece
Ikr
Yep
Big deal alcohol can do that too. 😂
Yep. Bloody atomic clock))
So true......even my dad said it........back then
When hardcore was a culture and not just music. When you could not set appart values from culture.
You're into the grateful dead and Refused? I feel like we'd be friends irl based on that alone.
@@johnwrath3612 most likely!
RATHER BE ALIVE!!!
Seeing this live is incredible.
I could watch this on repeat for months
Salute to one of the founding fathers of all things Hardcore.
The shape of punk to come changed many of our lives. They are legends !
where are the views....?...my god this is classic
A lot of older music blew up on Myspace and MTV back in the day before UA-cam. Then when UA-cam took over as the main music video platform a lot of the bands fell out of public eye. This video probably has a lot more views but on older platforms when it came out.
@@levigriffin4314 it's settled then
Rather be dead than alive by your oppression
Rather be dead than alive by your design
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
To be alive
Rather be dead than alive by your social values
Rather be dead than alive by your tradition
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
To be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut down my throat
always thought it was but you refuse to be alive
Heaviest telecaster ever
I love the way they look so pale and fragile but are making hardcore music.
ever seen them live on stage? :D
Well, they are vegans...
Just normal dudes playing good HC music, not some testosterone fueled wannabe tough guys.
ever seen converge's lead singer?
Fuck the norm
Wow. Just listening to this for the first time. What a badass crossover of genres. Ahead of it's time!
This is Straight Edge
These guys CHANGED punk and hardcore.
I saw them last night in Vancouver. 2020 and the message is more relevant than ever.
Love this album . All the fuss is about ‘The Shape of Punk...’ but this album is just as good in my opinion , just in a different way.
No way
All their albums are pretty good, but year, this one hits a little more like a Converge album or something. I love SoPtC, but it’s kinda bloated at points.
fogudondon frigitely y adizo
I agree with the OP in every way. Both are standout records. They both show and refine the same ideas. TSOPTC doesn't happen without its predecessor.
Songs is more straightforward hardcore with a little more earth crisis ish vibes going on, whereas shape is really pushing the envelope and boundaries of what punk is, means, or could be. Both are great at what they do, this one is a little more subdued but still heavy, whereas Shape went balls out
that chorus riff is so good.
These are the guys that sit in class and hit top marks and dress like normal kids....then they meet up after school and grind out epic hardcore ballads and don't tell anyone about it.
I am so mad that I am only now discovering this in 2020
Agreed I woulda been blasting this
Better late than never, right? Long live Refused!
Lucky for you, they’re still touring, making music, and even playing old songs. I remember I bought a ticket back in 2014 when I heard they were coming back.
It was my last concert before COVID 🥲
Same, me after playing cyberpunk
made my day seeing this for 1st time
25+ years later this still fucks
oh yeah. this be a track that was playing when i was lighting my altar. lighting a light to the drums , the breaks , the riffs and vox and all ...and then looking up a lil to my mini altar to see shiva , and shirdi and hanuman and all that i am and dance and do hardcore dance breaks means that this here , what we have here - spiritualized ! and i aint the 1st. Jai Punks ! we die one day but punk lives forever. love from klang malaysia
OMG i've been searching for this for 20 years ! Lost the tape and band name on a party late 90's ffs, so happy i found these guys again, also LOL@ 1:23
The old OG downloading... people taking your good tapes/CD's at a party.
The "Slipknot" before Slipknot existed. Refused will furever be in my heart.
Slipknot are loosers compared to refused.
While green day was doing water down POP punk music, THESE GUYS CARRIED THE TORCH OF FUCKING HARDCORE
DOOKIE was good.
@@ultramutt3645 was
@@ultramutt3645 Kerplunk, Nimrod, Insomniac, American Idiot and Dookie were good, but different styles of punk.
I like a bit of Green Day every now and then but Refused were doing something entirely different.
@@candideggplant1575 this is Straight Edge,they were on two Victory Style compilations
My band
Totally addicted to this song.
Had Refused DVD in Navy after boot camp in 2005.
I turned all these guys onto them at A School.
IMAGINE dressing so sharply and setting the standards for all Deftones records after Adrenaline.
? DEFTONES were still b4 this.
U make 0 sense
Adrenaline is Deftones best album.
1994
Killer! These dudes jam.
It’s cool some game made people realize how good refused are after all these years. If you’re new, check out new noise, liberation frequency, summer holidays
I love this long intros
Dude has a badass ,screaming ,metal voice..the band isn't too shabby at all either. I love that bass riff at the end when it's nsync with the drums .
ich habe refused anfang 90´er im Jugendzentum Süd im Hamm mit 108 gesehen..vergesse ich nie..
ich irgendwann im ajz in bielefeld. ebenso unvergessen. allerdings später als sie gerade the shape of punk rausbrachten. hat uns weggeblasen muss ich ehrlich sagen. fuck
its hard to believe that this is the band that brought us the shape of punk to come
Yeah for real
@@Powers3848 bruh did you listen to the album
@@IFDIgital Touch me, don't touch me bwo!
Nah, all their albums rule, like they’re just as good here.
Why?
Great song
pure energie.....
The refused kicks serious ass
Refused don't need cyberpunk and cyberpunk didn't need refused that's what makes both of these rebell icons (game and music) a match made in heaven hopefully there's more songs in phantom and hoping they release a new album themselves cheers chooms🎉🎉🤘🔥💯
This is power man
Just saw them live great.
This song reminds me of Abhinanda a lot! (one of my first HC albums)
Edit: dit not now Kristofer played in Abhinanda awesome. Gotta be his riffs
PLEASE DON'T DIE, DENNIS!!!! LOVE FROM HELSINKI!!!!!!!
a gem
this song is so dope live
I’m 18 and the year is 2022 when I’m discovering this. Why the fuck wasn’t I from this time period?!?! I’m a drummer and have been playing for about 3 years now. THIS is what I wanna be like
Hey man what’s important is you’ve found it now! I didn’t find them until I was 14 back in 2007 and their bass player inspired me. You can do it!!
I’m 18 and discovered them this summer too, i cant believe i hadnt heard of dennis lyxzén before
I barely got into them like last year at 20, the drumming and guitar playing, the bass and lyrics are just something else.
They really changed the way I viewed hardcore/heavy guitars in general.
Cuz Yo GenX is best.
EVERYTHING good in Rock?
Was done by 1995
Freaking great song 👊🏻😎
The Shape of Punk to Come is so good. Everything else feels like it couldn’t have come from the same band. It’s bizarre!!
They're chippin in for cyberpunk 2077!
I was 18, Jesus.
1st time hearing this in 96
Double tele 🤟🤟
That was hardcore as fuck definitely did not expect that thought it was sunny day real estate.
Telecasters to the face!!
Rehab by Aug 96.
😊. 19yrs old.
Left part my soUL in mid90s I've yet get back○●●○
Epic. Thx
BAD ASS JAM.
2020 and i'm here!
It took me this long... but I am finally here.... I've been missing out.
100 % !
This is very truly amazing music. But that is just my opinion.
Better late than never, welcome.
It's coming, when the world burns we'll hear this
since 95
Telecastercore!
Wow so intense 😮
They're surrounded by slow, meager, snails who loved their gilded cage so much it killed the mighty human.
nobody talking about the fact that all of them dressed shirts and playing hardcore on teles like "u are about to die in that pit" type of memes
Refused are Gods
RATHER BE ALIVE!!!! ✊✊✊
sonic perfection.
all song from this band = Cyberpunk 2077 Fan Playlist! F Yeah! BURN Baby!
I bet you're a capitalist
NEVER FADE AWAY!
@@BrutusBongo what's the of being capitalist?
You might be 14 coming across this song and you colud be french/english/nordic or slav. I'm English and came across this as at 16. Seven years before I was a bank manager. I love this band. I don't neccasirly think Marxism is a legitmate form of goverment.
But The shape of punk to come is thw unbeaten and this is the preccusor. Don't let anyone guide your path.
The shape of punk to come tells you everything you need to know and the song 'The deadly rythem' is unbeaten by even this band.
Keep doing you mate wherever you are x
Very influential.
Я влюбилась
it's amazing
Black Flag Old SChool all the way!
U all got old punk soles! Love this shit!
Teacher: leaves biology class for a few minutes
Me and the boys:
Yep this band is samurai in cyberpunk 2077 great music
First time i heard this when i was in high school
Damn im old 😃
only the black t-shirt guitarist is immune to slug poison luck guy
Saudações brasileiras 🇧🇷🤘
yup, oldschool post-hardcore
hard harder refused...
Yes sir
Denle un guiso a estos pibes.
The OG breakdown bump.
Being dead is more fuñ though i bet it is no pain no bs...you will be in a a constant state of nirvana. In a trip of sorts 🎉😮
cool song
With my current situation in Australia the lyrics have never made more sense.
fReEdOm 🥴🥴🥴
This band stands against everything you think they stand for. 😂
Oh and by the way your comment looks even dumber now that there’s an actual war going on. Wake up to yourself. 😂
@@paddydemps2291 What you on about? My situation 3 months ago is unbeknown to you. So your making comment based on? You are also making presumptions about what Refused stand for/against.
Burning Heart Records bands were rocking hard
This was released on Startracks. For a period it was licensed to Burning Heart bit now back on Startracks again. Look Out for amazing anniversary releases next year
Star tracks & Burning Heart ❤🔥 revelation were so underrated in the day.So many amazing bands like 59 times the pain,No fun at all, Bodyjar,Satanic Surfers,Raised fist to Samiam.Legenardary lo fi labels that were on par with Fat wreck,
Epitaph & Honest Dons & would of withstood the sands of time.
Gone but not forgotten.♾🤘🏻
B4 their time
Happy Birthday
Indeed! This entire album was recorded in -95 and released in -96
They have inspired so many bands, even tho some artists don't admit it.
A Korean skincare video.
Bruh,Eljif Elmas is a pretty good singer when he's not playing for Napoli
Мощно
If you like this listen to "the slayer" which is the last song to this album
Man I grew up with stuff like this, choking victim, leftover crack. God my friends and I were trouble lol
1996
