It was in 1998 or 99. A friend dragged to me to that show of a band I never heard of. That wasn't an unusual thing. We were going to shows in our area all the time. Sometimes three shows across town in one night. Anyway. Nashville Pussy opened. I liked it, so I went straight for the mosh-pit. Bela-B from Die Ärzte was there, I was a little starstruck and I made sure to bump into him as often as I could. Then Turbonegro played. It was one of their last shows before their split. And it was obvious why. Hank was wasted. But good. So good. Just like everyone else on stage. I didn't know a single song but it was still one of the best concert-experiences of my life. On our way back home my friend put on the Apocalypse Dudes album. It was the first time I listened to it, and it would be the only album I would listen to for the next months. An absolute masterpiece. It belongs right in the Top 10 of the best rock albums of all times. 25 years later and I still listen to this album from start to finish at least once a week. Oh, and I named my cat Hank.
I also named my rabbit hank, well actually there is 2 of them, One is black named hank and one is brown named hãnk, hank is happy to sit his fat ass inside all day, but hãnk, man hãnk is wild, has to be free and run around outside, finding all the girl bunnies he can, and some of the boy bunnies if he gets the feeling.... Now, you tell me that isn't just the way it is for all of us.... RIP Hank, I miss you.
This band saved rock and roll through the 90's and 2000's. Join the TurboJugend NOW! Come Back Hank!! Rock and Roll needs you. TurboJugend need you. Rock and Roll needs you.
When watching turbonegro videos, I can never get over the feeling I’m watching American rock and roll grittiness mixed with a European modeling fashion commercial
It's their style. Image is oftenly half the fun, however Turbonegro rocks so much it's 100% music and the way they act and show themselves is just a bonus. Don't take them too seriously, cause they are not trying to.
I like how flagrantly silly, kitschy and tacky Turbonegro are - feels more alien to Scandinavian cultural sensibilities than the black/death metal scenes of Norway and sweden are to be honest
i love how they all showed dup to the first dress rehearsal as if they are going to be in different bands... but they had one tube ov salmon lipstick and said 'yeah... this. this works!'
They were so right, Be as offensive as humanly possible on stage!.. They brought it in Spades…(Twice).. I so Loved that Great Band.. Miss that Great Band.. Cheers guys!.
I'm sorry I just have to laugh, the bit with the horses is hilarious, they're just walking around the arena, they didn't even bother to go to a field like! haaha! i love turbo!
Kjære Medborger og broder Synd at vi aldri møttes selv om vi var i slekt. Vi delte en felles interesse i Cornelis Vreeswijk liv og virke.

One funny thing about the Euroboy is that he is such a geek as seen in the Norwegian documentary. However, as soon the boy gets a guitar, a cowboy hat or a Nazi helmet, he is suddenly about the coolest thing there ever was: elegantly highkicking et c. ad inf: the lad is a rock'n roll Monster!
Happy Tom, the Bassist, explained it once to the world: "A turbonegro is a large, well-equipped, armed black male in a fast car, out for vengeance. We are his prophets."
This was the first song I ever heard by them... I bought the cd when it first came out... but then I let this girl I slept with borrow it... big mistake... never saw it again...
Founding member Thomas Seltzer once said, "A turbonegro is a large, well-equipped, armed black male in a fast car, out for vengeance. We are his prophets."
see your point, it was probobly one of the songs that insperd the song. You should also check out: Iggy Pop And The Stooges, whit Search and Destroy. Some of the same guitar liks, and it sound in general much like turbonegro. in my opinon you get: get it on, if you combine the two songs :) cheers
Rip Legend! A master of his craft
So true. I was lucky enough to wet him, so I’d like to add that he was a real gentleman as well
And those high kicks-
the whole band dude..................

RIP Hans🖤
yeah i was thinking that too....there was parts too that reminded me of alice cooper's "im eighteen"
RIP Hank! 🖤🎩
Hardcore punk + glam rock + seventy hard rock + feeling y creatividad a raudales = Turbo Negro.
hank von helevete is such a iconic figure
It doesn't get much better than this!
This is the soundtrack of MY life.
I like the music, but damn those videoclips are nutts and these guys are just plain creeps O_o (with good guitar skills)
the singer in Turbonegro is the one and only Hank Von Helvete. He doesnt play with Scars on Broadway. Now you know =D
yeah, actually they do. I spend 2 weeks there in 2001 and had no problem communicating with people
The perfect song and video
I love this song
They're not gay. Just wearing lipstick. Their music is raw as fuck!
+frank niegas it actually was a hype back in the time, highschool memories man
Turbonegro RULEZ! Viva la Turbojugend!
Haha, the dog in the backgorund..is it a presa ? ..looked a little bit like it, but maybe not xP
Never ever gonna forget hank. As a finale pn a consert he put a firework in his buttcrack on stage.
R.I.P Hanky

I like it. Sounds like Something to Do by the Ramones, which they are fans of.
Like it, love it
