Hope everyone is still alive and well in 2023, been a rough year so far, lost two close friends. Thanks Erik for all the music you made, I will keep you alive.
@ljdankov lost two more since I that commit....AVOID POWDERS! Or least TEST you drugs, don't use alone, and Carry Narcan(or an epipen)! Please stop dying!
Sorry for your loss friend. I appreciate you taking the time to be vulnerable on here. It’s cool that the fans of MB are the type of people to meet your message with love in return.
Hey! Do we have any Pennsylvania natives on this? I think a petition to make this the state song of PA would be a great way to memorialize Erik Petersen.
I'm originally from PA, born and raised, spent pretty much my whole life there up until recently when I moved across the country to the West coast. I always think about this song when I'm feeling homesick. Rest in Peace, Erik Petersen, gone too soon. I'll never forget the time I took a candle lit historical tour of Laurel Hill Cemetery around Halloween and spotted you in the same tour group out of the corner of my eye before nudging my friend and asking "isn't that the guy from Mischief Brew?"
Last night I dreamt I was going to the final Mischief Brew show. It was at a very nice house filled with many older people. I guess Erik's family. Later my family started showing up. They were upset and I didn't know why. They made cheesy jokes about wanting to leave before the music started. A young man started playing electric guitar and I woke up. Maybe I'm still looking for closure and this was like a funeral combined with memories of the last show at the Low Budgets house.
Been trying to learn this song on my acoustic I know most of the parts but they solo has been a little sticky. Do you know how to play it? Sorry for asking two years later
I think it becomes obvious when someone gives themselves to their music the way this guy Erik does. Thanks for the great years of punk rock sing-a-longs and acoustic cover material, my friend! People all over the world are hearing your songs as I travel with my guitar.
I fucking miss you so much, Erik. I love you man. Thank you, for everything you ever made, for every talk I was priviledged enough to have with you, for everything you did in life. God fucking damn it we need you man.... I miss you so fucking much
PA born and bred, was out of the country earlier this year for a few weeks and was feeling super homesick, this song popped into my head randomly and I had to play it from my phone sitting in my hotel room, cracked a beer from the fridge opened the window and smoked a cig while I listened to erik sing about my home, I can't lie I was crying like a baby by the end of this song, listened to it about five more times as I had another beer and a few more cigs thank you erik, one of a kind a genuine legend, you will truly never be forgotten, I know Ill still be listening to this no matter where I find myself in fifty years time
This is really dope. I'm from Philly and I don't even listen to this type of music, but this was really cool. I was intrigued to look up this video after reading the Wikipedia article on Centralia. Great work guys!
We sat on the boat rocks With plum wine and we'd watch The fog roll in, swallow the bridge on the bay I thought I could live here But I'm still in high-gear And sweating and freezing three-thousand away O Pennsyltucky, your three mile islands The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway I'd love just to leave you but its good to see you in Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA Where we all come from Most died of the Black Lung Another, a browbeater, boxer, and saint When he finally got caught The cops made a few calls They opened his cell, never fought him again O Pennsyltucky, your three mile islands The coal fires buckle the Miners' highway I'd love just to leave you but its great to see you nd Old Filthadelph , Hostile city, PA (repeat the line above) Wake me when steel city's Road work signs shine in my face (whoo!)

I'm pretty sure 500 of those views are mine. I'm not saying that just as a "clever" comment. I legit think I've listened to this song that many times, if not more. My favorite Mischief Brew song, along with Nomads Revolt. Love you Erik. I hope to run into you in the next life.
I lived right near Centralia for a while, nostalgia af all around. Rest peace Erik, no one out there was like you and the world is worse off without you
Just found out they covered over the "Graffiti Highway" in Centralia PA this year (which is where this was filmed) because it had become a public nuisance which is weird because Centralia is for all intents and purposes a ghost town.
The city they filmed this music video in was the inspiration for the Silent hill games, on a sadder note, RIP Erik, you'll always be one of my favorite songeriters and frontmen.

johnnyconsumer Hey man, I was at that triple rock show too. I heard from a pal that they may not return back soon or at all due to a pretty shitty turnout, but It was an awesome show nonetheless!!
Andy Zuh Yeah, That would be a shame because they're one of my favorite bands out there today. I'm glad I've gotten to at least see them a couple times. I'm 36-years old and have been pretty jaded when it comes to music today...but these guys bring it.
Does anyone know if there's an old version (maybe live, or an earlier version idk) rattling around youtube? Maybe it's some powerful deja-vu, but I've definitely listened to this before, months ago, I recognise the chorus and the lines about 'A church in neon'.

God bless you
Sympathy friend. I have lost too many from those years. And yet oddly am more alive than I have ever been.
@ljdankov lost two more since I that commit....AVOID POWDERS! Or least TEST you drugs, don't use alone, and Carry Narcan(or an epipen)! Please stop dying!
Sorry to hear that. You're not alone.
RIP.
Sorry for your loss friend. I appreciate you taking the time to be vulnerable on here. It’s cool that the fans of MB are the type of people to meet your message with love in return.
Still here. Listening from rehab. Grateful to be alive. Rip Erik
Erik was one of the best, most underrated, frontmen/songwriters this planet ever had the pleasure of listening too, Rest in power Erik.
O7
100 % he was such a badass rest easy erik
They were a good friend. Miss them every day.
Fr
Rest in peace, power is what tyrants and landlords seek.
Hey! Do we have any Pennsylvania natives on this? I think a petition to make this the state song of PA would be a great way to memorialize Erik Petersen.
ljdankov I'm not a Pennsylvania native, but lets make this happen.
Sitting on some rocks overlooking the mountains and valleys here in central PA giving this a loud, emphatic FUCKING YES!!!!!
They tried it with Bloodhound Gang's "Pennsylvania" but it failed.
I'm right across the bridge in South Jersey. I have a Philadelphia accent (so I'm told). Close enough?
Fogelsville,PA bro! I'm all for it!!!
May this song never get stuck out of my head. Rest in peace Erik.
Love the jeff rosenstock profile pic
a legend who is very missed. see you in hell boys
aint no heaven or hell in the great by and by

R.I.P. Erik. I'll miss you tremendously.
I’m still listening :) rest in peace Erik
rip Eric Petersen...I'll be playing this song on my acoustic until the day I pass on as well! a truly classic song
Been trying to learn this song on my acoustic I know most of the parts but they solo has been a little sticky. Do you know how to play it? Sorry for asking two years later
@@gamertroth1949 Wait, I know your comment was a year ago but do you still need a tab for the solo?
Jerimiah Mcnuggets no I figured it out it’s not perfect with what he plays but I like what I have. Good to know you’re still out there bro.
This song is so accurate to PA. When you live here you wanna leave, but when you come back, it’s refreshing.
My friends and I have been rockin this since it first came out i love this song it make me feel like a pirate
I think it becomes obvious when someone gives themselves to their music the way this guy Erik does. Thanks for the great years of punk rock sing-a-longs and acoustic cover material, my friend! People all over the world are hearing your songs as I travel with my guitar.
And don't worry I always tell them the truth when they ask if I wrote it, haha.
@@rodyprieto2071 Hope you're still living on his legacy man
I fucking miss you so much, Erik. I love you man. Thank you, for everything you ever made, for every talk I was priviledged enough to have with you, for everything you did in life. God fucking damn it we need you man.... I miss you so fucking much

Spent my whole life in PA, born and raised. This song perfectly captures our relationship we have with the state. God Bless Peterson for this song
When the guy in the mask goes to drink but can't because his mask is on, that's a whole 2020 mood
Still listening in 2022, Erik you where, no ARE a Legend, and legends NEVER DIE!
I do not miss a single musical artist the way I miss Erik Petersen. He left us far too soon.
This is really dope. I'm from Philly and I don't even listen to this type of music, but this was really cool. I was intrigued to look up this video after reading the Wikipedia article on Centralia. Great work guys!

Best song about Pennsylvania in existence. Change my mind.
gotta love those rusty-coal-bowl cow towns here in rural PA :) born and raised, and returned to (though i wonder why sometimes :P)
Rest in peace, brother. Thanks for all of the inspiration to keep on moving in this life. Erik shed such a bright light in such a shitty world.
I'm pretty sure 500 of those views are mine. I'm not saying that just as a "clever" comment. I legit think I've listened to this song that many times, if not more. My favorite Mischief Brew song, along with Nomads Revolt. Love you Erik. I hope to run into you in the next life.
Ah what a good song. Glad I stumbled across this. I spent many summers visiting my family in Lancaster, Philly and Gettysburg. Good ole PA
Can’t believe it’s almost been four years... I have so much love for this band, I think about him every time I’m in PA.
Mischief brew has to be one of the most kick ass bands out there. I have listened to this song almost 10 times and I still hasn't gotten old.
Ah, had a bottle of wine and ended up here and now I'm happy but bummed. Miss ya man... I really do.
2023. Heard this for the first time today on Pandora. Had to hit repeat three times. Such a killer song. Remind me of when I lived back east
Rip buddy. nothing makes me think of seeing you in Santa Cruz like this song.
Hey Barkeep, I'll surely have another!
I lived right near Centralia for a while, nostalgia af all around. Rest peace Erik, no one out there was like you and the world is worse off without you
it's hurts my heart knowing this band isn't more known. he's such a good lyricist, and the band is tight with their songs
Jesse Bushnell the lead singer died
Andrew Rodenbucher not at the time of this comment lmao
Just found out they covered over the "Graffiti Highway" in Centralia PA this year (which is where this was filmed) because it had become a public nuisance which is weird because Centralia is for all intents and purposes a ghost town.
The acoustic version you did with a fist full of vinyl was amazing. I'm not saying this is bad, but that was on a different level.
Dog bless you from Ireland Erik RIP it's good to see you but shame that I missed you 💔
Has anyone noticed how the world has gotten progressively worse since Eric took himself away from us? Please come
Back dude. We need you
such a nostalgic song, loved your music R.I.P. Erik
Brings me back to riding a porch of a grainer on CSX on my way to Philly from Rocky Mount.
RIP Erik Peterson. Beautiful man and musician.
Love the video! Centralia has a place so close to me heart!
I bought this as soon as it dropped! great work, thanks dudes!
Ahhhh Mischief Brew never fails to impress me.
2024 !!
Love it, I'm from pa, living in cali now...opening lines got me.
Played a gig in St. Pete FL with Erik about ten years ago 2011. Helluva nice guy. RIP
Really enjoy how this almost sounds like an old pirate shantie
These guys take me back to when I first discovered what good music was!
Only Discovered them, just blown away by them R.I.P.
From the 724 to the 610, PA all the way!!!!!
215 which became 610 then 267 when I got a cell phone
Always made me smile since the beginning. Miss you Erik.
Rest easy, Dude. U will be sorely missed. :(
I hope someone makes a karaoke of this.
Im in Pennsylvania for work right now and a woman in this repo lot just called this area pennsyltucky. Now im here. See you in hell boys.
I'm so excited for the Phx show! Been listening to these guys for years.
Absolutely amazing.
The way he laughs when he says "peepshow with drive through Windows" hits way harder than it should. See you in hell erik
thank you for the music you made, we are better for it
The city they filmed this music video in was the inspiration for the Silent hill games, on a sadder note, RIP Erik, you'll always be one of my favorite songeriters and frontmen.
1:48 gas mask dude definitely got a few ticks right there
I miss Pennsyltucky. Been living away for a year now, I'm feeling a trip back soon.
Now That is Definitely , "Some Beer Drink'in Music" !!!!!.. (Rip; Petersen)
Rest in power.
I'm eternally sad.
The Orphans -For an Old Kentucky Anarchist. The end.
It was rather creepy about 8 years ago the fire was under the one cemetery. Not sure if the fire has moved since then.
Great work boys!
Yes!

Awesome! New 'Brew!
RIP homie
I liked it. nuff said.
centrallia is so ungodly beautiful to visit. but so tragic. you guys shouldve got a shot of the bathtub by the church that still runs
It’s so cool to see Centralia in a video besides Silent hill
Love this shit. Gonna play it. Ya dig?
Underrated comment
A Fistful Of Vinyl is your version of this song still up? Couldn’t find it
Does anyone know if there's an old version (maybe live, or an earlier version idk) rattling around youtube? Maybe it's some powerful deja-vu, but I've definitely listened to this before, months ago, I recognise the chorus and the lines about 'A church in neon'.
There is! Search for "Erik Petersen @ ABC No Rio, 3/30/13", he is playing the song there somewhere in the set :)
Thanks a bunch, I knew I'd heard it around
Rest in Power Erik
I like this
I was just at this place

Hell yea
:( , R.I.P buddy. You were grand
What an absolute Fucking legend
Goddammit Eric...wish i could see u again

Remember when heroin was as bad as it got? The underground here in portland has just been decimated by fent.
Love ya’ll best wishes 2024
Does anyone know who the "browbeater, boxer, and saint" is that he's talking about in the second verse? I wish I could ask him personally, RIP.
browbeater means a bully
Damn.
