Alan Meyers. Incredible. Reinvented how to approach a modern drum kit. The most creative ever in popular music. His parts are totally inventive. Never loses it. Unrelenting energy. And accuracy. When he left they never recovered. A great drummer beats a great drum machine every time.
This cover is brilliant....Zep would be psyched for any resemblance...this video clip is from "Urgh! A Music War " it is a British film released in 1981 featuring performances by punk rock, New Wave, and post-punk acts, filmed in 1980. Organized by Stuart Copeland of the police it was recently released by WB for the first time on DVD. My copy was from a VHS its orig format. P.S. This film rocks!!!!
hands together for the drummer ..... so smooth, so loud .... so in control ...... which drummer is this? ...... actually ...... AN AWESOME SONG ..... PERIOD!
I love DEVO they are just so original. They grew up on my personal taste but after so many years I just came to the conclusion that they are weird but in a good way and their songs happen to be so much fun and energetic.
Anyone see song as response to led zep song misty mountain hop on speed ? P.s. I've been n 2 devo since first album n watched them on Saturday night live!!! Back then
@CraigSpannier a littl bit faster with a couple of notes transposed, but too close to Zeps. It's not a claim, Devo are enough original =) These are more clear in tempo: thatsongsoundslike . com/2007/05/30/devo-vs-led-zeppelin/
Who cares what it resembles?! its Rock and Roll - rock and roll is one long theft from minute one; every good riff and attitude were borrowed from other sources, from the Blues to Old Time-, and then from other Rock musicians - its a mish-mash folk form made of borrowings and pure energy.
THIS is exactly the kind of song One Direction should cover. What young girl wouldn’t scream as Zain thrust his Islamic crotch at the audience, singing: “Got an urge, got a surge and it’s out of control now!”

Devo shows were always great fun.
The best Devo performance I've seen.

It's not a cover song IDT( I don't think)
Got to appreciate the artistry. Non existent in today's music.

Alan Myers. Mark Mothersbaugh called him the human drum machine.
Hello, we are Devo and we have an uncontrollable urge since '77.
the coolest nerds ever
Ĺove it ❤❤❤

Simply FANTASTIC !!!!!!
Just for information - the main riff is the Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop"
That was pretty damn good!
ROCK EN!! ROLL.
skate and destroy to this -- perfection -- never to be replicated.
Its completely the same, but at the same time completely different, more than enough to stand on its own feet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Whoever posted this should have left in the scene where Ogre and the Alpha Betas get really mad about losing the contest - that's the best part!!!
Urgh! A Music War
Was just gonna say that. That movie changed my fucking life.

what was UGGH? huge DK fan. Man tose were the days, Love u Jello
@FaulFerkel Well considering about half of Zeppelin's catalog was total plagiarism I think we can give Devo some slack for appropriating the riff.

@FaulFerkel well, it sounds like it but its played quite differently
Randy Marsh "Rattlesnake"
Not sure how Glenn McGrath taking 8/24 vs Pakistan ranked 3rd in the clips on the RH frame. Pigeon must be into DEV-O!

yep, gotta love them back up vocals - like some transgomorgified Girl Group.

Influenced by Kraftwerk and influenced Le Tigre. Better than the Cars if you lean toward punk.
