that was the beauty of punk...as Malcolm McClaren said "suddenly overnight, anybody could do it!" you didn't have to be a Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck, you learned 3 chords, you were set!
Jello's comment about listening to Sabbath & committing suicide was making fun of all of the lawsuits that were filed back in the 70s (80s?) claiming metal bands were putting subliminal messages on their records, turning their fans into devil worshippers, etc. 'Backward masking' and things like that. People took it very seriously for awhile. Black Sabbath's record label spent a lot of money on lawyers to fight that one after a couple filed a lawsuit blaming them for their son's suicide.
> People took it very seriously for awhile People take it very seriously now. They just accept that it is everywhere, that the only way to fight it is to tightly control what their kids listen to, read, and see in movies or on TV. Basically trying to prevent the exact thing that JB is talking about in this vid: kids thinking for themselves, which is the absolute scariest thing imaginable to people who make a lifestyle out of not thinking for themselves.
Wilbur Ross Nah, he just probably liked the band but in comparison to punk found them kind of negative and gloomy. They're a great band but punk was more liberating, at least to him, is my guess
It was Judas preist who got blamed for suicide(s)? of kids for stained glass and Ozzy(not Sabbath)got sued for non existent do it do it(in regards to suicide)in the Ozzy song suicide solution which is clearly about drinking urself to death.oreist and Ozzy won after a bunch of bullshit.hail satan
I tear up listening to this. Jello's an idol of mine. Ramones paved the way. Nice sentiment from the Ramones to Jello and vice versa. I was able to meet Jello face to face b'ehind a bar once and talked for a bit, "a real live rock musician?... talked to me?" Met my idol and he practices what he preaches. So cool.
Hell yeah! The Ramones were pioneers and Iit's cool to hear Jello show love for them. I find it interesting that Jello Biafra eventually put out a country album with Mojo Nixon, and I also find it interesting that it actually sounds more country than the "country" of today, which is basically just rock with the singer putting a certain twang in their voice and wearing a cowboy hat.
Jello is LEGONDARY. He signed my guitar after we played at Berkley. He came to see us when Das Klown played Police Truck. Verry nice person. I really don't love him for his political veiw's. But to me he was a complete Punk Rock LEGEND. & Still is. You can't take that away from him EVER. You don't have to like him? But you can't erace history's reality. As hard as you may try? He is what he is to a majority of true Punk Rock fan's who love him IMMENSELY.
Great band remembered by a smart man, would not be who or where I am today if I had not heard them both. No not heard but LISTENED to cos they were loud. Cheers
He was very glam before the Ramones, I think he called himself Jeffrey Starship or something. Even Johnny was a Glam/Glitter Rock fan, he loved the Dolls, Slade, Sweet. But when they got together they realized they were all too ugly for Glam and Johnny or maybe it was Dee Dee that came up with their look. Genius from Queens haha.
Motorhead and Dinosaur Jr. are by far the two loudest bands I've ever seen live, and I've gone to a lot of hardcore, punk, and heavy metal shows, yet I've never seen anyone else even come close to as loud as those two bands live.
I loved the Ramones and Iggy and the New York Dolls plus the MC5 from the start.Also I liked Joni MItchell. I did not like the other bands he mentioned but good music and writing are all the same to me. If it is good to me I will like it it does not matter if it is Mozart or Hank Williams or Naked City (John Zorns band).
I was actually moved by what Jello said. It really made me remember being a kid and how much that music meant to me. When I heard it I knew I wasn't alone. It's a shame the comments are basically just a political pissing match.
Heck, Jello was a starting member on Brujeria and even played "Pito Wilson" a parody of Pete Wilson, on their second album's title track "Raza Odiada".
@@ianbarrett4166 True. But even though Motorhead had the boogie/swagger of early rock n roll above everything else, they also had the heaviness/power of metal,along with the speed/aggression of punk. They were the band that bridged the divide between metal and punk. But yes,they were (are) rock n roll.
Ebbets Field named after the famed Brooklyn Dodgers ballpark was a small club in the early to late 70's located on 1020 15th street in Denver Colorado.It held 238 people which made for an intimate setting between performer and audience.The stage faced bleacher type seating which resembled seating at a sports venue.The walls,floor,and seating were all covered in black,orange,and brown shag carpert.Most of the Ebbets shows were broadcast on station KDPI and KFML in Denver.
If you only listen to mainstream hiphop, yes. However, there are TONS of great hiphop artists out there that are socially aware and make great music. You should check out some Aesop Rock.
Well, you've got Jello cameoing on Sepultura tracks, Henry Rollins on Tool albums, Motorhead and bands like The Obsessed had fans from both Astro Burger and Oki-Dogs...I just think it's funny because both 'metalheads' and 'punks' have goofy territoriality issues. Kurt Cobain was an 'obvious punk' despite being hugely into Sabbath and Celtic Frost and bands like that, etc. I do find it entertaining that people are still figuring this shit out like 30 years later :D.
All of the Sabbath fans getting into a snit over Jello's comment, ("I don't have to listen to Black Sabbath & kill myself after") I don't think he's saying that they suck, he was saying they were really dark & gloomy. You can't really dispute that. But for him the Ramones were a revelation because they were an inspiration/kick in the pants to actually go and MAKE something -- start a band, make a zine, whatever. And that was maybe a lifesaver for an unhappy teenager. It was for me.
You should listen to the songs "you won't change me","she's gone","fluff", "air dance" and "Lonely is the word" if you honestly think sabbath has no soul..
See? I didn't even know that. And we all know the punk bands influence the metal bands and vice versa, that country and blues and all that still influenced all of that...just a little more complicated than 'black/white, punk/metal'... Hell, Dead Lazlo's Place was the best punk band I ever met, and when I was trying to learn their songs for a tour, I was relieved to show up at the practice space and see Danzig and Slayer posters up on the wall... Next thing you know, they'll be RAPPING! GASP!!!
Oh, and I love the folks that think that Jello is such a 'puck rocks, metal sucks' snob - ever heard of LARD? Not every 'punk' is as knee-jerk about his 'punk purism' as, say Brett Gurewitz. A lot of 'spirit of 77' type bands had influences all over the place, as 'punk rock' wasn't even a coalesced thing yet, in it's prototype stages. As a matter of fact, I've seen quite a few punk players point to songs like Paranoid as one of the first songs they learned, and it's not hard to see why, is it?
I know that lots of metal bands are influenced by punk. The whole thrash sub genre has elements of punk in the music, it's just more intese and heavier sounding. I was talking about how this guy was saying shit about Sabbath though, Sabbath were making songs before punk was even around...
He wasn't saying anything that wasn't heard weekly in a rumor that ran from California to Rhode Island! I don't know anyone's age but I do know that when I was younger(I am 43) the rumor that went around about some kid listened to Sabbath forwards or backwards or however and then killed himself. That was what he was talking about. I heard that rumor at least once a week! Also heard the weekly rumor that Rod Stewart went to hospital because something was wrong with his s
Hello again!! Yeah LMFAO!! I 'd like to see johnny match the musical creativity that Tony has, It's pretty easy to write songs that last 5 seconds and consist of two to three chords when all you ever do is down strum your entire career, it's more like he's just working the muscles in his hands than actually playing. I'd love to see "john boy" come up with something that could even hold a candlelight to any album Sabbath put out. Paranoid slaughters anything the ramones EVER released lol.
its funny that jello is sort of goofing on 70s hippie culture here. if you type "jello biafra joey ramone" in google images you see jello with joey backstage at the gig he describes here, and jello TOTALLY looks hippied out, lol.
Punk rockers reserve a special hatred for Joni Mitchell because secretly they can't stand how much she blows them out of the water when it comes to one of their favorite pastimes: Disrespecting music journalists to their faces. See also: Frank Zappa....
Perhaps you should create a video explaining to many punk/alternative rock fans the same concept your relating to me, because a lot more punk and alternative rock fans seem to constantly bash classic rock and heavy metal claiming that the music requires little skill and is unintelligible; always giving some ambiguous reason why punk and alternative music is sooo much better. LOL I never started bashing punk/alternative rock until punk/alternative fans started "dissing" the music I listen to :]
oh wow. The Obsessed, hell yes. You don't run into many people who drop that on utube. DC's lone metal band in the early 80's at least as far as I knew. That's like Paul Chain, a fine wine of Doom metal. Loved those guys. I think Raw Power's "Is There Anything You Like" ( After Your Brain LP) sums ups that punk and metal territorial pissing esp. from the punk orthodoxy viewpoint. I remember bands leaning towards Crossover got the Maximum Rock N Roll Seal Of Disapproval back then.
Being Conservative would allow such freedom of speech as outlined in the constitution. A conservative view is a "narrower" reading of the constitution. A liberal view is more "liberal" of restricting our rights.
I was stationed in Colorado in the 90s when I was in the Army. Friggin' boring as hell. Visited Boulder and hung out with some hippie college chicks my friend knew. We went to see the Violent Femmes, so that was cool. Boulder is basically San Francisco with a mountain backdrop though. If you're not a hippie it sucks.
Apparently your "psychic" skills are a bit poor lol, considering that I was talking about the album to begin with and you knew this all along, I must ask how does describing the musical simplicity of one song( probably one of the simplest songs that they ever came up with),a way to depict their musical skill in it's entirety of their larger body of recorded music while probably having a somewhat decent idea of the rest of the music they have wrote a good argumentative comeback? Please tell me.
Love the story... FWIW I don't think he's insulting Sabbath when he says "I don't have to just listen to Black Sabbath and kill myself now!" I might be putting words in his mouth, but I think he was just talking about how it would seem like an impossible act to follow (in the same vein, at least) and/or duplicate. No one looks at Bill Ward playing drums and goes, 'Oh, I could TOTALLY do that.' It's a common frustration. Ask any Doom musician over the last, oh, 40 years ;-)
If it's so "easy", strange that no one else has matched him in creativity, influence, or longevity. Yes, Paranoid is a great song. Here it is: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD GDE (rinse, wash, repeat) What was your point again?
No, hes right. He left out that it relates to the powers of government. Conservative means government has LESS power to interfere in the governed's lives, while liberal means MORE power to interfere essentially.
26 years ago on an island about 80 Kms off the coast of Auckland Aotearoa new zealand i i got my mate's band Culture stone to come over to play at pretty much the only place on the island ya could fit a new years crowd on the island they were used to the same old covers from the 70s 80s and around 10.30 CULTURE STONE COME ON THE LEAD GUITARIST AND BASS PLAYER HAVE AND ARE STILL PLAYING IN BAND'S TOGETHER 1986--? CURRANT BAND.. THE CITY NEWTON BOMBERS THEIR BAND'S HAVE PLAYED SUPPORT FOR METALLICA 1989 DAMAGED JUSTICE TOUR JANE'S ADDICTION ANTHRAX THE BOUNCING SOUL'S ANYWAY WHEN THEY STARTED PLAYING EVERY ONE BACKED AWAY FROM THE STAGE IN SHOCK two songs later that club had never seen a barn dance like it probably won't again HAVE A LOOK AT THEIR CURRENT BAND CITY NEWTON BOMBERS live at GALATOS song to check out is looking pretty good for the new year
I would say sped up 1960s music is a more accurate analogy. Play "Chewy Chewy" by The Ohio Express at faster speed, then play "I Wanna Be Sedated". See?
Some people just like to be on a "team" so they can fight for no reason. There are all kinds of "skill" -- some musicians are technically proficient but I find their stuff has no soul. Most of the best pop and rock songs are dead simple. Even the Ramones called their stuff "dumb" and "demented." I think it's a bit ridic to say you hate an entire genre of music. If it's done well, I can appreciate it.
Did you guys ever noticed Biaffra sounds like a gay man ? A gay "conteur" (french baby) in this context i might add. Oh... Wait... Shit he's actually gay isn't he ?
Plus, as a guy who's more 'metal' than 'punk' though it's not like I discriminate... Anyone getting their panties in a wad over Jello's Sabbath comment: calm down. If anything, in his own way, he's acknowledging what half the punk crowd has said all along - 'Sure, I couldn't play a lot of the 'accomplished' stuff but then a few bands showed me how simple it could be, and I found I could do it, too, instead of feeling like I wasn't good enough to even try or something.' Not an insult, really.
that was the beauty of punk...as Malcolm McClaren said "suddenly overnight, anybody could do it!" you didn't have to be a Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck, you learned 3 chords, you were set!
That was worth listening to.
how good was the ending?
Thank you Joey Ramone and Jello Biafra. You'll never die.

Very true - Jello has carved out his own unique place in the pantheon of punk originals.

Thanks for chiming in. Great to hear from you. Looking forward to more pearls of wisdom.
where can i hear more stories like this from jello. Love his opinions , stories, and music . New and old!
check out his interviews with nardwuar! Jello tells a ton of great stories and you get a better look into how he is as a person
Thanks Jello for signing my 45 you gave out at a show in '85 years later!
Great band remembered by a smart man, would not be who or where I am today if I had not heard them both. No not heard but LISTENED to cos they were loud. Cheers
He does a version of this on "We're Outta Here" which is just as hilarious. This is one of the coolest.
Joey was damn amazing.
I love when this guy speaks. Just awesome. Really engaging.
Joey is my favorite. Just a cool dude, and he was a huge TRex fan.
Yep they were all cool but Joey was the realest one.
He was very glam before the Ramones, I think he called himself Jeffrey Starship or something. Even Johnny was a Glam/Glitter Rock fan, he loved the Dolls, Slade, Sweet. But when they got together they realized they were all too ugly for Glam and Johnny or maybe it was Dee Dee that came up with their look. Genius from Queens haha.
Great band The Ramones but punk rock needed an intelectual voice and You Jello were the one
Love Jello!
Theye were the loudest band I ever heard,, until i saw Motorhead....
louder than nirvana?
@@anaranjadisimo yes louder than Nirvana. Even louder than AC/DC, according to Angus back in the day. Louder than all.
Motorhead and Dinosaur Jr. are by far the two loudest bands I've ever seen live, and I've gone to a lot of hardcore, punk, and heavy metal shows, yet I've never seen anyone else even come close to as loud as those two bands live.

seeing as i was referring to his pre-pistols days... and seeing as lemmy was part of hawkwind... my "error" wasn't all that far off being correct.
Depends from what era really. Hiphop 35-40 years ago was not mainstream that much and was shunned. Now I can see where you're coming from though.
That's why I uploaded this. What he says is great, but the comments don't reflect that.
When I first met Biafra he wouldn't talk to me, he acted like a fuckin' snob. . . Krist Novoselic saw this and had a long conversation with me...

Yes if I understand that the previous poster is making the case that liberals want to restrict freedom more than conservatives.

I think it's a bit ridic to say you hate an entire genre of music. If it's done well, I can appreciate it.
There is plenty of good Country Rock just as there are plenty of boring suck ass punk bands, you have to search out the gems.
Can I sniff some glue instead?
YES!
Did you guys ever noticed Biaffra sounds like a gay man ? A gay "conteur" (french baby) in this context i might add.
Oh... Wait... Shit he's actually gay isn't he ?
i haven’t heard him say anything about being gay or not .it’s not really any of our business anyway tbh.
When did I say Sabbath has no soul?
Plus, as a guy who's more 'metal' than 'punk' though it's not like I discriminate...
Anyone getting their panties in a wad over Jello's Sabbath comment: calm down. If anything, in his own way, he's acknowledging what half the punk crowd has said all along - 'Sure, I couldn't play a lot of the 'accomplished' stuff but then a few bands showed me how simple it could be, and I found I could do it, too, instead of feeling like I wasn't good enough to even try or something.'
Not an insult, really.
Hiphop? I agree with your post, but........ HIPHOP?!? That's as commercial, conformist, and mainstream as you get!
Hugh Jass it wasn’t always. It used to be looked down upon, just like punk, because it had meaningful lyrics about how the systems broken.
Apparently Ray Manzarek of the Doors played in "Night City". They were a boring band though. Typical 70's radio crap.
That makes no sense AT ALL. Other way around.
