Man. I’m going to be 44 this year. I remember skating on my Tony Hawk and Frankie Hill 9-11 boards while listening to these guys back in 1989/ 1990. Thrash was the best music to skate to IMO.
I got off the mainstream first with Anthrax and Cro-Mags, then I moved on to these bands you mentioned as well, Industrial, Rockabilly, Ska, Swing revival, Psychedelic ambient, and Chaos Jazz followed.
This to me is the definition of how Metal should sound. The production is ideal, in my opinion. And you can hear the bass guitar, too. It doesn't get buried in the mix.
I went to this concert not too long ago these guys are f****** geniuses they never slow down they never lose a Beat I'm proud to have grown up in this era
Exactly man. Now this, this is music. It actually takes talent to play this type of music. Unlike those talent-less hacks that you just mentioned who use auto tune to cheat they're way to the top. Its just sickening.
Tipper gore jacked it all up her and her religious cronies fooled the masses into thinking this music being so called evil when people could just easily read what lyrics said and find out that's not the case lol.
One of the greatest bands that never crossed over. I discovered them when I brought ten tapes for a dollar at a thrift store in 1990. I was 11. Pure Thrash.
What do you mean they never crossed over? Not only were they literally one of the FIRST hardcore acts to cross over into metal, but they have an album called Crossover!!!! 😂
I can say this guitar tone is simply legendary. I remember being a small child, this is what I imagined heavy metal to be, with this kind of guitar tone, similar chord progression, and I REALLY doubt I heard these guys being a kid. DRI rules!
Saw this live a couple years ago and gonna see them again in a few weeks, VERY excited. It was a small show, but still honestly the best I've been to so far.
YOU SHOULD BE HYPED DUDE. they were my first concert and I've been to festivals and all. No energy beats this. so glad i got to seem them again two years later.
These guys still remain one of my all time favorite bands, not just because of their legendary music, but because they are genuinely cool dudes. I've gotten to meet them several times over the past few years and love just talking with them and hanging out.
I'll say it again: greatest lyrics ever (well, kinda)... inspired by Herman Hesse's novel, no doubt. DRI and many other thrash and punk bands inspired me to START READING BOOKS, way back in the 80's. and in many ways, this saved my ass, or at least opened doors to strange universes. btw, even read Kurt Brecht's books, one about living in a nest; the other 'bout eating stale magic mushrooms in mexico. life goes on, long live heavy rock!
ειμαι 43 χρονων και για μενα ειναι η καλητερη μπαντα στον κοσμο.Ανοίγω την κασετα (για οσους ξερουν τι ειναι αυτο) και διαβαζω τους στοιχους του album. Γυρισα 25 χρονια πισω οταν ημουν γυμνασιο και ακουγαμε D.R.I στην πλατεία απο το κασετοφωνο
Spike was the f**kin' MAN...!!! Got to hang & got a pic with him, in Baltimore a few years back. He always brought a great guitar tone & style to a hardcore scene that didn't always display that sorta thing.
I remember the first time I felt COOL! Thrash and Metal was and still is the coolest thing there ever was and is! Nothing is as cool, I don’t feel as cool doing anything else
We played with you guys back in 1990 at the Green Door in Riverside, California. SHREDDER We warmed up the pit for you guys to tear apart. Nothing like seeing a few teeth fly and an arm broken from behind my drums. Watching from the stage, I miss stirring up the pit. Nothing quite like being the catalyst for pain. 🤜💥🤥
I saw them last night in Hollywood at the house of blues. Kurt and Harold spent time outside talking to fans. Exceptionally good show. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Thrash Zone is the only album I know of from them but love all from it :-) Was sweet skating music back in my day :-) Never knew they had videos for DRI! :-)
@ThrasherNecromorbid Yup 2 times in Austin Tx, 5 Times in San Antonio tx. WOuld have seen them more but I missed 2 shows I couldn't make it 2 and 1 show that got canceled. Got a DRI tat on my leg. Love these guys. Now make a new album!!!
This is the best video i have seen in years. Good metal like this is extremely rare to find these days. I can't see how i never heard of them. Did Nirvana rip these guys off in some kind of way?
@ he might be from Europe a decent amount of countries have free or very affordable university. Still a joke how america is supposedly the richest country yet can't make university universal or affordable.
One of the most active bands i ever saw in a live concert. The scene was free for stage diving and moshing! This is how a thrash concert should be, ``not stadiums and crap``
I remember back in the middle '80's up to early '90's and that's why I accuse them, Greek monthly magazine called"Heavy Metal" later collaborated with German Metal Hammer and came out as Metal Hammer & Heavy Metal, they totally ignored bands and genres like this one D.R.I ,Suicidal Tendencies and many.many more. They actually of the narrow minded writers back then didn't accept any genre mix and stucked to the bone old school classics like Maiden,Ozzy ,Manowar,Acdc,Sabbath... They also totally ignored AOR also called "PopMetal" and bands like Ratt, Journey and many many more... The result was that as this magazine.was the one.and.only source of knowledge in a conservative class back then which I additionally lived in a.small.midtown which you didn't have more things to do or enjoy,I found out all of this bands at least with 15 years and more delay So far so good....
Beneath the wheel I totally jammed that album out of control ,I totally loved every songon that album and the emblem the a THRASH ZONE sign,the best meories inthe pit evr @ any given time south Florida,Miaimi beach,Club Nu,1988 ,oh teah!!! Metal ,PUNx NOT DEAD
@TheClassicThorntonPark I work at restaurants, mostly. I'm trying to enlighten the masses about the need to give workers rights and the rights of people generally considering automation.
@XImStillCycoX You have now idea how right you are! I saw D.R.I for my first time when I was 15. I'm now 38, saw them last year after the Super Bowl for a midnight show and seeing them again at the end of January. It's a band you must see!!! Wish more ppl from this gen. realized what you do.
I have tickets to see DRI in Anaheim next week. This will be like the 10th time to see these guys. I hope to make the show in Palmdale next week as well.
Not all thrash has a legitimate amount of punk elements to be considered crossover. Their early stuff was a lot more hardcore punk than this album was, the vocals were still punk like, but the music was a bit more thrash metal. Sub genre's can get confusing sometimes, because thrashcore is not necessarily the same thing as cross over thrash.
Cadê os brasileiros que ouviram essa música há muitos anos atrás e ainda batem ponto aqui??? Ouvi a primeira vez esta música quando eu tinha uns 17 anos, hoje com 33 acho MUITO top, eu considero os caras uma lenda do 'Punk Metal' ou como queiram rotular eles, por outro lado os caras nunca conseguiram ser uma banda grande como algumas outras aí....
Started going to a cellar pub, ''Arties'' Saturday afternoons when I was 13-14, only place in Cape Town, South Africa which hosted the small Thrash/Goth/Alternative scene at the time...Black Label beer, joints in the Alley and of course moshing/slamming....God that was fun, DRI, SOD, ST, Slayer, Nuc Assault, Anthrax, etc etc...
Listened to this when I was 15...I'm 45 and back for more
here....50 years old......love it
im 15 i just got into this song like 2 months ago, could never turn my back on this
@james morgan whats sad is that you'd reply on a message about a 15 year old fucking loser reading replys fucktard
They never get old. This is their softer stuff though.
Ya, me too 54 Monday ! Oregon waving a hand ! 🍻🍕🎸⚽️😜
Man. I’m going to be 44 this year. I remember skating on my Tony Hawk and Frankie Hill 9-11 boards while listening to these guys back in 1989/ 1990. Thrash was the best music to skate to IMO.
I fell in love with this stuff back in the day. DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, SOD, MOD, Anthrax,Testament, Exodus, and on and on. Still love it!
I got off the mainstream first with Anthrax and Cro-Mags, then I moved on to these bands you mentioned as well, Industrial, Rockabilly, Ska, Swing revival, Psychedelic ambient, and Chaos Jazz followed.
Hellyeahh. lovet
these guys deserve way more credit
How does one go about giving a band more credit
for what?
Exactly
@Pleasure To Kill 2.2mil now :)
@Pleasure To Kill for sure. i'm not even super into thrash, but as punk, these guys are a force of nature live and i respect everything they do.
Fell asleep
last
night
at a party!!
Love this song.
Epic DRI
D.R.I. is in my blood forever !! ❤
This to me is the definition of how Metal should sound. The production is ideal, in my opinion. And you can hear the bass guitar, too. It doesn't get buried in the mix.
Hearing heavy bass is nice
Bass makes metal more heavy. Theres alot of good thrash bassist too bad msot of them get buried in the mix
Metal?
@@drunvert dri is crossover thrash metal and punk.
I went to this concert not too long ago these guys are f****** geniuses they never slow down they never lose a Beat I'm proud to have grown up in this era
I walked by my step-son's room the other day and heard this on his game. I think it was skate or skate 2 on 360. he was like "you know this band"?
I always loved the bass line in this song
JustinFH
is'nt this truilo from the latest incarnation of metalica playing bass here ?
@@jowlorenz9555 Bass player on this album was John Menor.
I'm a bassist and this is the first song I heard by them and that bass line is what got me hooked.
@@jowlorenz9555 the bassist for Metallica was in suicidal tendencies
I like how they try to convey a message in every song, its kind of genius in my opinion.
+Jordon Tobin That's how music should be. Fuck Kanye, Drake, and all those other lazy "musicians"
Exactly man. Now this, this is music. It actually takes talent to play this type of music. Unlike those talent-less hacks that you just mentioned who use auto tune to cheat they're way to the top. Its just sickening.
+Jordon Tobin Fat
Tipper gore jacked it all up her and her religious cronies fooled the masses into thinking this music being so called evil when people could just easily read what lyrics said and find out that's not the case lol.
Jordon Tobin every song should be like that
This is the song that plays in my head every time I go to school. Or when I at least used to
D.R.I. is sick!!! Seeing them in Atlanta in March!!!!! Thrash rules!!!
One of the greatest bands that never crossed over. I discovered them when I brought ten tapes for a dollar at a thrift store in 1990. I was 11. Pure Thrash.
What do you mean they never crossed over? Not only were they literally one of the FIRST hardcore acts to cross over into metal, but they have an album called Crossover!!!! 😂
@@cKHAVIKk lol I was going to say the same thing. Personally I prefer the first two hardcore albums
What do you mean 'never crossed over' LMAO kook
They’re literally crossover
I think OP meant "crossed over" as in "crossing over into the mainstream".
I can say this guitar tone is simply legendary. I remember being a small child, this is what I imagined heavy metal to be, with this kind of guitar tone, similar chord progression, and I REALLY doubt I heard these guys being a kid. DRI rules!
This song helps me get through school
lFuckl life same
SCHOOLS A JOB BUT YOU DONT GET PAID!!!
Me too
lFuckl LLL i am a college dropout
Same
Loving the vintage sound the 240p provides. Makes it sound super raw I like it
cool dude! thats funny
I can remember jamming on that cassette back in the day!
Ich höre die seit ich 16 bin. Bin jetzt 50.immer noch genial.🤘
I grew up in the 80's D.R.I. was so far ahead of its time
D.R.I Great Trac From Thrash Zone Excellent Album Every Track is Awesome This Video is Really Cool ImI
Saw this live a couple years ago and gonna see them again in a few weeks, VERY excited. It was a small show, but still honestly the best I've been to so far.
Kaitlyn Hailey Gonna see them live in Ft Lauderdale! Can't even describe my hype
YOU SHOULD BE HYPED DUDE. they were my first concert and I've been to festivals and all. No energy beats this. so glad i got to seem them again two years later.
Going to see them again tomorrow night in Seattle!

George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells, Asimov, I think a lot of thrashers have been influenced.
In my eyes, DRI are the definition of metal. In their music, looks, attitude, lyrics, everything!
ειμαι 43 χρονων και για μενα ειναι η καλητερη μπαντα στον κοσμο.Ανοίγω την κασετα (για οσους ξερουν τι ειναι αυτο) και διαβαζω τους στοιχους του album. Γυρισα 25 χρονια πισω οταν ημουν γυμνασιο και ακουγαμε D.R.I στην πλατεία απο το κασετοφωνο
Seen D.R.I. 7 times now and never get tired of them.
Just saw DRI last night for their 40th anniversary tour! Amazing live!
Spike was the f**kin' MAN...!!! Got to hang & got a pic with him, in Baltimore a few years back.
He always brought a great guitar tone & style to a hardcore scene that didn't always display that sorta thing.
Kevron, that’s awesome. Where in Baltimore did you see them?
@@MrMixolydian7 Soundstage Baltimore, down near the Harbor....
@@kevron9664 very cool. I grew up in Glen Burnie and fondly remember the Inner Harbor. Very true about Spike’s tone.
OLD SCHOOL NEVER DIES!!
I remember the first time I felt COOL! Thrash and Metal was and still is the coolest thing there ever was and is! Nothing is as cool, I don’t feel as cool doing anything else
Excellent and true
We played with you guys back in 1990 at the Green Door in Riverside, California.
SHREDDER

I saw them last night in Hollywood at the house of blues. Kurt and Harold spent time outside talking to fans. Exceptionally good show. One of the best concerts I have ever been to.
I think this is like the longest song they ever wrote. DRI were pioneers in the whole crossover/thrash movement!
Beasts
I loved this band in HS for about a year - MAN their lyrics are simple.
Thrash Zone is the only album I know of from them but love all from it :-) Was sweet skating music back in my day :-) Never knew they had videos for DRI! :-)
Crossover was good. But Thrash Zone is the best.
my first concert,DRI!!.>. what a eye opener!!
Although full speed ahead was not very popular, for me along with thrash zone are the best records
All is good, but 4 of A Kind is best.
These bass solos / fills are just awesome!
This was my shit in high school. It's a shame no one is making this kind of thrash anymore.
@ThrasherNecromorbid Yup 2 times in Austin Tx, 5 Times in San Antonio tx. WOuld have seen them more but I missed 2 shows I couldn't make it 2 and 1 show that got canceled. Got a DRI tat on my leg. Love these guys. Now make a new album!!!
esto si es el descontrol completo musicos expertos
Concert in Chicago today. Needed that way now!!!!
In class right now listening to this
I've never heard of this band but this probably one of the best thrash songs i have ever heard yet.
Moral:It Ain't how you start, it's how you finish, love this song
2021 I am from Colombia I remember when those guys went to bogota, outstanding performance!! Greetings Brothers of metal from everywhere.
Got to see their first show in Canada at the Amnesia Rockfest last saturday. It was fucking awesome !
I saw them last night. They still sound A++. Great show.
Lo mejorcito
Thank U! Merci! Vous avez fait ma jeunesse, 45 ans ça reste!! You make my youg years ans now i'm 45 years old, you are still there! ❤❤❤
This is the best video i have seen in years. Good metal like this is extremely rare to find these days. I can't see how i never heard of them. Did Nirvana rip these guys off in some kind of way?
Saw them perform this at the Hawthorne last night. My first concert ever. D.R.I. puts on a hell of a show!

I'm still listening to this 34yrs later
zajebista kapela !
I recently re-purchased this album... and this song is probably the only one that still holds up after all these years, other than "Thrashard."
I saw them in concert at the axxiom here in Houston with a friend of mine I wad one of these groupies wanna be's the singer kept eye balling me lol
I have never listened to D.R.I. Before but now that I'm listening to them I think they're badass
Aguante D.R.I.!!!!!!
Let's go back in time....loved this when I was a kid!!! Still cool!!!
my youthful years ]:->
Saw them on this tour in 1990 at Axis next to Fenway Park in Boston! Sick of it All opened up, killer show
I f#ckin want Spike's guitar!!!!
In my eyes, DRI are the definitive metal band.
Killer!!!
I love this song def one of my all time favs
I listen to this in school
when the drums come in with the bass drum and snare, you think "hot damn, this is gonna kick your ass!" this song RULES!
FUCKING, D.R.I. RULES.....
One of the best Crossover bands from the ‘80’s.
"""F*ck Yeah!!!!!! Hearing DRI always made want to kick somebody!!
hell yeah .....this rocks haven't heard dri in years!!!!!
this band dropped out of the spotlight
Skate 2!
Good stuff. Great album. The best of the best.
Schools a job, but you don't get paid
How do you get paid? I'm beneath the wheel
@TheClassicThorntonPark I work at restaurants, mostly. I'm trying to enlighten the masses about the need to give workers rights and the rights of people generally considering automation.
I used to skate to these guys back in the late 80s. I think they were heavily influenced by Anthrax. Love it!
Fucking middle school
Thoraskin Fuck college, learn a trade
i love this song and the band. i saw sat in nyc with overkill and i meet the singer he really awesome.
These drums sounds like some guy playing basketball
I don't buy albums, but if DRI write new material, i buy it !
I didn't know they allowed moshing in study hall
@XImStillCycoX You have now idea how right you are! I saw D.R.I for my first time when I was 15. I'm now 38, saw them last year after the Super Bowl for a midnight show and seeing them again at the end of January. It's a band you must see!!!

THRASH !!!!!
Best crossover thrash band of all time no contest
una vez vi a un emo con poleron de dri, me dieron ganas de pegarle pero aun asi la banda no se mancha
Puta soy de los weones que prefieren que no hayan metaleros a que hayan weones taquilla que se juran metaleros
I have tickets to see DRI in Anaheim next week. This will be like the 10th time to see these guys. I hope to make the show in Palmdale next week as well.
their hardcore era was way better than this crossover thrash stuff
all of their shit rules DRI forever
it is subjective, but this album wasn't really crossover, it was thrash music, punk vocals.
Like Exploited I they're great at both Metal and Punk.
Not all thrash has a legitimate amount of punk elements to be considered crossover. Their early stuff was a lot more hardcore punk than this album was, the vocals were still punk like, but the music was a bit more thrash metal.

of course DRI wins....DRI destroys gaytallica
this song helped me graduate from high school!! this song helped alot!! love DRI
