Me too. Thats what metal is about. For example this band is a huge influence in the thrash and grindcore scene even though they are punk oriented. Barney Greenway from Napalm Death is a huge fan.
Their influences ranges from Metallica, Sepultura, Anthrax, to Napalm Death, Death etc, needles to say the countless "Dis" bands. Every damn genre in metal has been influenced by them
Agreed. They took the attitude of the sex pistols, the whole rebellious punks and the political gripes of life in the UK and in general of the clash and really perfected punk. Pure, raw, and zero filler or appeals to the masses, unforgiving and relentless. This is what punk is. There is nothing wrong with a little pop punk, a little cheese or melody, but this really is what punk is, non-commercial, political, angry, and unapologetic.
This is simultaneously one of the greatest and yet worst live performances ever captured on camera. Even when they get lost after the solo in Never Again, they are still such a tight unit. The greatest punk band ever. DBEAT FOREVER
They seem to get lost in all three songs, especially Cal but it doesn't matter, it's fucking magic, one of the most important punk bands of all time. Superb 😎
cool brother,...i'm a punk rocker that also loves metal music too, 80's metal, I grew up with different styles, but I hate rap/hip hop,...yuck.......marius(punk rules).
Saw them in Leeds, Bradford, Hull, London dozens of times in their prime. Cal, Rainy, Bones and Gary, classic line up. Am 59 soon and still love listening to them. A truly great band. Saw them somewhere in London one night, Cal walked on stage and said 'this one is that one' pointed to the Never Again backdrop, leaped into the air, landed and puked everywhere. Carried on for the set around the puke. Amazing night.
@@ccbayer Better with Bones, this is Pooch on guitar, no-where near as good. Rainy looks clueless when the bass cuts out, thought i saw a string dangling, not sure.
@EvanJones No question, without a doubt! Nothing compares to the total brutality of this band back then. I never got to see them unfortunately. I did see GBH on the Midnight Madness tour. However Discharge rips your heart out and feeds it back to you.
@@yarglouis2466 i wish i could've seen them in their hayday. Im younger than their generation, so i had to catch them in the digital age, but the spirit still resonates! Will never be another band like Discharge!!!!
@@evanjones5664 I'm not sure if they even toured the States back then. GBH and Broken Bones did as I was at both shows (still have pics of BB) but GBH toured via Midnight Madness and Beyond and Bones toured via F.O.A.D so they both came to the States a little later than I expected.
Sorry, it's pissed o'clock once again and I just watched this again for the first time in years. It reminds me of 1980/81 when I went to a few gigs by them, including the Apocalypse Now gig (which had other bands like the Exploited and Anti-Pasti). Anyhoo, we still had our lives in front of us then, and so when I watch and listen to this stuff now it reminds me of a time when I was relatively care-free and youthful. I miss those times!
Absolutely brilliant, makes me feel sixteen again, formed a punk band in 81 after listening to Exploited and Disharge, love the way Rainy looks over to Bones in Never Again as if to say ‘are we playing the same song?… we’ve all done it!… it’s called ‘Live Music!!’… Gonna show this to my grandchildren one day….👌
+72daystar Oh yes. Good punk requires lots of emotions and most of punk bands do not have enough to make it as good as it can be. They need to feel they make a difference, not only play for some small closed scene. I think after Discharge the window of that opportunity closed.
Después de medio año de tratamiento y recuperación sin adiciones se es grato ver y escuchar de nuevo canciones tan devastadoras y crudas cómo dischacharge
Top be honest, no one could touch Discharge back in the day, they were awesome live. Saw them live 7 times in the early 80's and twice in the last 12 months. Incredible live band.
For as long as we shall live, we'll most likely NEVER get to see a crowd and performance like this..NEVER AGAIN! Dischaaaaaaarge!!! Casey royer brought me here.
@@ryanten5828 Clearly you haven't listened to a lot of Heavy Metal. It is often more political, definitley more aggressive than punk. Not to mention that there would be no Extreme Metal were it not for GBH and Discharge. The claim to exclusivity for punks is laughable.
@@amixofeverything Its true. its fact. Its objective. Metal is weak, punk is raw. Death metal, speed metal, slam metal, thrash, none of that would exist without punk.
Hey was any of you at the gig where some chap shouted to Cal "hey Cal when are you going on Top of the Pops?" (this was when the Exploited were on with Dead Cities). Cal wacked the guy over the head with the mic-stand flooring the guy and the drums bashed in with their opening song and he just carried on regardless. I'll never forget it.
@@lukeholloway7836 that was like a month ago.... and I don't remember saying it.... Luke????...why have you turned off your targeting computer????....R2......see if you can't lock that down..hang on back there....🎄
Walter and I were the first to distribute Discharge LP in Berlin 1981 . We had ten of them in a box in our "wonhung" !!! Best Punk ever, fastest then all !
Takes me back to when I saw them in 1981 at Digbeth Civic Hall in Birminham. I still love it, though I have more music arrows in my quiver these days from which to chose. Thanks for the upload.
I seen and partied with these legends back in the early 80’s in L.A. I have to say, it was rather hard to understand them. L.A. U.K. You know what I mean. Best time of my life ! Nuff’ Said.
good memories. seen them in newark palace theatre think it was 1981 .then took my son to see them at the old angel in nottingham. wow nostalga fucking good times.
They are the best , calls passion is awesome. Although punk was my world back then i now listen to a lot of metal. Not hair metal hard shit. But I believe the influence the aggression pervade by Discharge gave birth to thrashn Metallica etc . I saw these live and I fucking worship them to this day
Damn, I hear everything from punk, thrash, industrial, to speed and beyond, so far ahead of the curve
Me too. Thats what metal is about. For example this band is a huge influence in the thrash and grindcore scene even though they are punk oriented. Barney Greenway from Napalm Death is a huge fan.
The pioneers of the extreme spectrum of Rock and Metal.
Greatest British punk band ever, sounds as fresh today as it did 31 years ago. They must have influenced 100s of bands around the world.
moonhog01 motorhead gbh and discharge most influential bands is all genres of extreme music from crust punk to black metal
The influence on early extreme metal cannot be fucking understated (Bathory, Celtic Frost, Entombed, Dismember)
The Exploited
they started a whole genre of bands that still copy them til this day and i love it for some reason (d beat)
they influenced the whole bay area thrash scene. i think that says enough.
I was at this one. Discharge, GBH and English Dogs. Great night. Thanks for posting.
English dogs are definitely not brought up enough. Their metal albums are where it's at
are you the barnaby hoofer i know as peter
Arguably the most important band in non commercial music
Their influences ranges from Metallica, Sepultura, Anthrax, to Napalm Death, Death etc, needles to say the countless "Dis" bands. Every damn genre in metal has been influenced by them
@@stephan8294 they’re honestly as critical to modern music as Hendrix or sabbath are.

@@candideggplant1575well stated sir yesss
Not even close. I understand Brits always think they're the most important people ever
Its amazing that this footage still exists. Shit sounds so much beter than their studio recordings. This is the way it was meant to be heard
buy the 3 lp set live you ll be very happy....................
Long hair treated punk like shit
Why so many albums substandard
This is simultaneously one of the greatest and yet worst live performances ever captured on camera. Even when they get lost after the solo in Never Again, they are still such a tight unit. The greatest punk band ever.

HARDCORE PUNK
They seem to get lost in all three songs, especially Cal but it doesn't matter, it's fucking magic, one of the most important punk bands of all time. Superb 😎
I first heard Discharge in 1980, I was totally blown away by the sound they created and the anger in the lyrics, still My favourite Punk band in 2022.
I'm a Metalhead and I LOVE Discharge and Punk in general, just as much as I love Metal music.
cool brother,...i'm a punk rocker that also loves metal music too, 80's metal, I grew up with different styles, but I hate rap/hip hop,...yuck.......marius(punk rules).
This is how I remember them live.
They left your hair standing straight back.
"This is just shouting". Exactly! That's why it's so good!
As it SHOULD ... go listen to Dream Theatre , nancy boy .
@@saraivatoledo1842 😂😂😂😂😂😂

falls apart pretty quickly at the guitar solo :P

In my opinion the best UK Hardcore-Punk-Rock band and maybe the world. Real, legendary.
I 100% agree. Why, HN, SN, SN kick you in the fucking balls still in 2019.

Saw them in Portland in 82 after they got stuck at the Canadian border for several weeks. Excellent show.
What happened there?!? Why were they stuck 😲🌍
Man i remember when I first got into this kind of music, it was so exiting. I wish i could rediscover all this sometimes.
Never leave joy,alot of great energy even now you just have to find it,
Two words:
PURE
ENERGY
Still makes the hair on my neck stand up!! Brilliant live, the atmosphere was on FIRE!!!
Probably one of the greatest live Punk recordings on utube, I get goose pimples every time I watch and listen to this.
I went to this concert. I was just a kid at the time. It changed my life...
I saw Discharge open for the Misfits (with Glenn Danzig) a few months ago and I wish Discharge sounded like this. Damn you father time!
Discharge is pile of shit now.
@@derekdykeman9160 There is only Rainy and Tez in the band and Tez wasn't even in the bands golden years it was Maloney.
Discharge headlined not opened for the Misfits.
@@elizacoleman5901 Yes I know
Tezz, Bones & Rainy is all what’s left from the original lineup.

The Best band in the World.
The real style punk Hard core, forever punk.

The Originals and the best proper hardcore Punk with something worthwhile to say
My work inspired by this.
Respect to Gary Discharges best drummer
Cal - Hardcore Legend!!!! Best hardcore singer ever!
