I just discovered them about 5 years ago and constantly amazed that their new stuff is just as good as their first stuff and vice versa. Same feeling I get from bands like System of a Down and especially Ozzy Osbourne (okay he went a little mellow at one point but even those songs were still bangers for what they were). Love bands that stand the test of time!
For me I think it's cuz they are so damn tight together. Just all in the pocket cuz it's not as easy with a singer who switches style so much. They kill it!
rowan mcadoo I did the exact same thing :') Heard some reggae music and I kind of liked it and I love metal so I went to see what I could find. These guys are sick :'')
Vladmir Dragunov It's Reggae Metal. You need to understand that there's different kinds of Metal. Nu Metal is too, people just like to say it's not because they don't want to admit it.
This band has stood the test of time, as 14 years later there has not been another band quite like them. There was never a Skindred before them and we'll see if there ever is again 🤔 Alright... I'm done my yearly revisit to this song. See you again in 2023 👍
I was on a Disturbed concert in Germany a few days ago. This guys were the act before. Never heard them till this day, will listen to Skindred from now on!
Im mexican and my scottish friend that i work with in Canada just told me about these guys. Just heard it for the first time. Whatafuck!!!!!!!!! This is wicked awesome!!! Reggae meets metal. Bob would be so proud!!!!
I was born in Britain but I am half Maltese, my half brothers are half Jamaican and half Maltese and we all love Skindred. You, me, and anyone else from any nationality... we are all united as one when music is involved, it brings us happiness, togetherness and, importantly, unity. Take care chilangua, I hope Canada is looking after you. I have quite a bit of family there
I was just at the Laundromat and a thought randomly came up in my head. "Does Reggae Metal exist?" I searched and I found this and listened to more songs from Skindred. I've then added Skindred to my daily playlist
Its 2007, 1 am, You and your cousin are Playing Halo 3 Legendary campaign together with a plate of microwave nachos laying on the carpet between you. Skindred is playing over the game audio. Life is good.
That moment when you find this and are suprised you found it 16 years after release 🤣 daaaamn this is goood 🤤🤙 the rough wow in between the reaggy parts kik in diffrent 😝 make this go hype 😁😁
Hungary - Székesfehérvár - FEZEN 2016. They were awesome! It was my best concert ever! (I'm 24, and was in Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Black Label Society, etc concerts, and this was the best!)
+William Sellers if ska-punk-metal counts then i can tell you about SiM, they're japanese and im pretty fond of em, not quite as much as i like Skindred though
I saw them in Rock al Parque in Bogotá 2012, Colombia and they rocked the fuckin house. Never heard of them before back then, now, I can´t stop listening their masterpieces. These guys are really good.
Unbelievable! Even better live! And to think I was absolutely privileged to support these guys and open a show for them in Plymouth back in 2005! A memory I will treasure!! Lol!
Easier to avoid publicity to be honest. A load of celebs go mad because of constant harassing by fans and paparazzi. Some rich people also turn into complete cunts because of the constant hounding people give them
+callum micallef I don't think he's really a "millionaire" I mean sure he must have money and I love Skindred, but still they're just a mildly known band.
saw them a few times at festivals and hes so good at getting the whole crowd to go crazy then got to see skindred at the tiny tunbridge wells forum my local venue. great intimate show but still as crazy with great interactions with the crowd.
Another amazing "raggametal" song from this underrated band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 And the singer, wow, how he can move in such a small space ! Has anybody noticed how he naturally goes from reggae and dancehall singing to metalcore screaming ? He's awesome ! And the other members too, they play like a Jamaican metal band 🤩

Ah, good old times in 2015, found this song by accident, downloaded, thought it was strangest thing i ever heard, but soon became addicted to it. Found other songs by them and became a fan. That was great year for me. Many things have changed but Skindred will always have a special place in my heart. May Funky Sun bless them. Peace
2024 anyone?
Yep
Yes
Yuppp

This is like when you were a kid and mixed a bunch of drinks in your fridge together and it actually tastes great.
Kids these days will never know... actually y'know what, with this quarantine, maybe.
Man lol this is spot on
holly crap, i always mixed my drinks in a glass, never tought the fridge was better
As long as it's a non alcoholic beverage
A suicide hahaha
How is this masterpiece 15 years old yet feels so fresh?
Cause it’s about our very lives now.

Reggae and Metal are two genres that you would never imagine sounding good together, but then you listen to it and you're really happy they do.
Hey bro, its been 12 y sinc your commenr, how's life treating you?

absolutely there are so many like us loving metal and reggae i think

Hell yeaah yoo, i came to the us from Bahamas when i was ten and thought this music was cool af, so glad it wasn't just a phasee bruh.

Let me recommend you SiM. It's not exactly the same, but the vibe is there.
They started in 1998? Not 14 but 24 I think...
@@foxik992 truuee especially that new song fxxk
Weeeelll - you should at least try out some Bad Brains, or Benji's previous band Dubwar
But before they where DUB WAR
It's physically impossible to not head bang when the chorus starts
It's almost impossible the whole song
@@curtismarriott7011
Me: *isn't headbanging at all*
Deadass I haven't heard this year in yeeaars and I didn't remember any of it but right when it came up I started headbanging it was like an instinct
Reading this while head banging to the chorus! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Well, I did avoid headbanging, but my knees and my feet hurt
And that, my friends, is how you genre mash.
Butt Rockman listen to DAgames will ryan he's a genre mashing killing machine^^
I never thought that reggae and metal would go together but this proves me wrong
i think so lol
Not heard of BAD BRAINS?
pixel paradise bad brains is reage meet punk
there's punk in there too.
Its called Roots Rock Reggae, the original genre created in Jamaica. Reggae always had a arm of Rock in it.
Skindread is such an underrated band. Been around for almost 20 years. Great band
I was on a Disturbed concert in Germany a few days ago. This guys were the act before. Never heard them till this day, will listen to Skindred from now on!
I fucking love this band. Their unique sound and the insane amount of talent is breathtaking.
no you are breathtaking 🤌🏻

It's my story too!
@Relentless Chaos
Great profile pic
miss may i !
so this is more common than i thought
this is a whole new level of awsome
it´s called godmode :)
Edit: Or paragonmode 10000, deservs if you are playing diablo :D
No shit it's like a mouth full of gushers and getting kicked in the nuts at the same time
The vocal harmonies make this so pleasant to listen to imo
I discovered this song today and i love it
i never thought i would hear metal with a reggae vibe to it! This is fucking awesome!
Should be more famous
totally agree this song should be on the radio
Ive seen it on Scuzz and Kerrang before, Ninja was on them as well but also agreed
Like Kim Kardasdhian... You shine more light on shit and people might like it?
lmao they are b/c of NSFU2
It’s weird but they didn’t want to go mainstream mind blowing that he lives by me 😂😂😂
Skindred's masterpiece :) reggae+metal= eargasm
Its 2007, 1 am, You and your cousin are Playing Halo 3 Legendary campaign together with a plate of microwave nachos laying on the carpet between you. Skindred is playing over the game audio. Life is good.
Shit mate, those were good old times
There is always free cheese in the rat trap :)
Grandiosa combinación, que gran banda!
Metal: Éxtasis
Reggae: Relax
Simplemente PERFECTO!
Saw them at graspop a few days ago. I must have been living under a rock, this is epic as hell 🤘
I never knew I needed Rock/Reggea in my life untill I heard Skindreds 'Nobody', now I'm here! Much Love
It was a delight seeing them play yesterday in Amsterdam!
That moment when you find this and are suprised you found it 16 years after release 🤣 daaaamn this is goood 🤤🤙 the rough wow in between the reaggy parts kik in diffrent 😝 make this go hype 😁😁
2024 whos with me?
WOH

Me good sir. ❤
Me
I'm 50% Jamaican and I love metal and reggae so for me this is just FANTASTIC! Some great music to bring in 2022!
Crazy to think I've been a fan of them for 22 years now.
what is this genre called? Djoint?
I died😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Raggapunk!

I've never listened to this song less than three times in a row.... Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
Hungary - Székesfehérvár - FEZEN 2016. They were awesome! It was my best concert ever! (I'm 24, and was in Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Black Label Society, etc concerts, and this was the best!)
Favourite Reggea Metal Band till this day :D
Yeah!
Yep but just a few ones not that many :/
+William Sellers if ska-punk-metal counts then i can tell you about SiM, they're japanese and im pretty fond of em, not quite as much as i like Skindred though
+DarkturtleX name some other bands then please, I really dig this
hmmm i have a list somewere let me find it :D
Still a banger in 23 🤘😖🤘
This video still gives me chills from the performance, 11 years later. Love these guys :)
Been listening to this forever. 2019 anyone?
2020 soon brother. My spotify most listened to song of the decade!
Yah. I'm right there with ya
@@EsoraChan 2020 hahaha
Reggae + metal = awesome. Where have you been all my life
I saw them in Rock al Parque in Bogotá 2012, Colombia and they rocked the fuckin house. Never heard of them before back then, now, I can´t stop listening their masterpieces. These guys are really good.
The first Time I seen them Was when they opened for disturbed it was epic been hooked on his music since!!
Saw Skindred live this year and they were amazing! One of the best live shows I have seen so far.
seen them live countless times. still one of the most entertaining acts to see, definetly recomended!
Holy shit, watch this at 1.25 speed.
Fucking epic.
How? I don't have the option.
You just found a way to HARDCOREIZE this band!
0lvl Only if you use google chrome
Gal Gazit
oh thanks, mistery solved
Lol slow it down to normal at 2:20 till like 2:45 or something then back to 1.25
this is the first time I have heard this kind of music and I am instantly in love!!!!
sounds like soad mixed with coheed. i absolutely love it.
Saw them on Thursday in Bristol they played this first, epic show
Unbelievable! Even better live!
And to think I was absolutely privileged to support these guys and open a show for them in Plymouth back in 2005! A memory I will treasure!! Lol!
Saw their concert a couple years ago. Will NEVER forget the awesome-ness of that night!!! This is my favorite song that they played!!!
This group is simply brillant, they use reaggea and metal as primary sound then soften the gap with punk and hip hop !
I love this song and this band!!
You can see how great it is because with over 4 million views, not one dislike. Keep up the good work Skindred!
How the hell did they blend reggae AND Metal...and make it sound this good!!! This is great stuff, new and interesting...I'm liking it.
It's weird the lead singer of the band lives in the same city as me and he walks around looking homeless but really he's a millionaire.
Easier to avoid publicity to be honest. A load of celebs go mad because of constant harassing by fans and paparazzi.
Some rich people also turn into complete cunts because of the constant hounding people give them
+TheDrumGod yeah I understand want you mean. It's good all the touring and albums,he can come back to Newport and be treated like a normal person.
+callum micallef I don't think he's really a "millionaire" I mean sure he must have money and I love Skindred, but still they're just a mildly known band.
Orochi Candyman it would be pretty weird if you are not a millionaire after selling platinum albums.
+callum micallef Dude, Skindred are awesome, but they've never been close to having a platinum album never mind albums.
Love the tune and the lead singer has a very melodic and smooth voice.
well...that's unique
finally something genuine
i crave this moment each time it happens
Saw these guys at the Thunderdome a LONG ass time ago in Maryland. They just as awesome live.
Amazing, one of the greatest bands out at the time. This song is perfect, it's on 🔥.
This is great!!! Never heard of these guys until now. Love their stuff.
This is probably the most random but best thing I've ever seen
This is AMAZING!
saw them a few times at festivals and hes so good at getting the whole crowd to go crazy then got to see skindred at the tiny tunbridge wells forum my local venue. great intimate show but still as crazy with great interactions with the crowd.
Omg mind blowing song!!!!Soooooooooo much energy and crazy grooves!!!! 🤘
ちょーカッコいい！！
Saw them on Friday at RedFest. Soooooo good!!!!!
Lost for bloody words. I'm inlove with all of this. Amazing!
I literally love these guys, i was absolutely gutted when i had to miss the gig they played in Somerset :(
Saw them at Download Festival yesterday. They are fucking amazing live!!
Sick groove. Just sick. I love it when vocalists actually sing.
always appreciating stuff like this
so much respect to be a frontman and give so much space and videotime to the drummer.
Another amazing "raggametal" song from this underrated band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
And the singer, wow, how he can move in such a small space ! Has anybody noticed how he naturally goes from reggae and dancehall singing to metalcore screaming ? He's awesome ! And the other members too, they play like a Jamaican metal band 🤩
This take me back at 2008 - 2009. So incredible :)
Two of my favourites in one, my day is going great
saw these guys live with hollywood undead, never heard them before them but became an instant fan with their incredible stage presence
[Intro:]
Too much of us caught in a rat trap we ah fe bust out ah that
Too much of us caught in a rat race ah fe bust out ah that
[Verse 1:]
They're in a contest and a competition
Caught in the snare material suction
If what you've got is all you mention
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
Pushing and pulling juggling it no stop
There's always free cheese inside a rat trap
You better watch before the snap goes pop
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
[Hook:]
Don't even bother with the boasting
Just take care, cause this ya rat race ain't fair
Even the saints them are falling
So beware! You'll find no winners in there
You know its gonna get you whoa
And it will never let you go
You know who its gonna get you whoa
And it will never let you go
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa
It'll never it'll never, we in a we in a
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa
And it will never let you go
Can't get out of there
[Verse 2:]
Chatty people they will talk all day
Talk your business and they feel no way
Elaborate and make up the story
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
You're always watching what they got next door
If your belly is full and you still want more
Helping the rich when you go down with the poor
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
[Hook]
It's a rat race; it's a rat race
Someone come and tell me who [?] the human race?
Fury breaks the chain! Let us go. (x4)
[Hook]
"someone come and tell me what's wrong with the human race" is what I heard
@@xCaPTaiNx definitely.
The people who disliked the video are missing out on absolutely phenomenal music.
Grew up listening to very different types of music, some of my favourites being dancehall and metal, never thought I'd find a middle ground.
saw them last november and loved it. so alternative and it works so well.
2016, still watching !
The intro is so powerful, holy shit, how come did I find this band only now?
Cuz mainstream garbage grabs allz attention! Underground is the fuckin sound!!!
I just love it!!! Amazing combination of reggae and metal!
Ah, good old times in 2015, found this song by accident, downloaded, thought it was strangest thing i ever heard, but soon became addicted to it. Found other songs by them and became a fan.

I can't wait to see them at download!!!
Me too man! Such a good line up this year!
I have exams so I cant go! Best line up I've ever seen and I cant go!
That sucks! I'm going on a bit of a road trip with my mates! :)))
Josh Miller That sounds like so much fun! I would so love to do something like that when I've stopped being poor.
I missed them because I was ensuring a good place for Sabbath, but really wanted to see them
saw these guys last week at wembley, cant get enough of them
Same, just brilliant.
