@@JodyHughesWarriorKing Yeah, this is a No Mercy song. Several of ST's best songs, are actually No Mercy songs. Clark is the actual thrasher. Grant Estes was a fucking *shredder*
Where is their place in the rock n roll hall of fame? If suicidal doesn't deserve the recognition no one does, they bridged the gap between punk and metal during the 90's and they have cemented their legacy in music history forever, they had such a variety of styles and anyone was allowed to listen to them during the so called "battle" between punk, grunge and heavy metal of the 90's
definately one of the greatest bands ever. their whole style was revolutionary. And nothing kicked ass or gets you more hyped up than "you can't bring me down"
love the distortions, the crunch, the tremolo all that shit..dude is right..very underrated...i am 50 and this makes me feel 20, probably because this is just my flavor, superb!!!!
+h1r43th4l1v3 I agree, Metalheads and Punks have become quite seperated even though it's quite the same energy. It's why I love suicidal, the "fuck you kinda" vocals with the thrash metal in the background.
People don't understand that dark themes don't make us darker. So many times this music did as you said. There was a song...a band that could relate to what I was feeling. I never saw it as a way to suicide. It gave me strength.
Suicidal just rips! Plain and simple! This song is one of the greatest metal songs ever! The talent of suicidal tendencies is as high a level as you’ll find!
Went to see them at riot fest 2016... Still have a great live show... Great energy... Kept their integrity as a band and in the later years have even returned to the punk roots... One of the greatest bands of all time...
4/24, i know these guy’s have been around for awhile but this is the first time I’ve heard this song while watching this video & was totally blown away by the ripping solo’s in this song !
Criminally underrated song and band. You gotta love ST's crisp thrash sound, nobody tops it, yet they've had fuck all recognition for it. All we hear is Metallica this, Slayer that (not that they are bad or anything).
I guess it's labeled as 'punk rock' but this is some of the heaviest shit ever, the whole way it's composed, the way it's put together, the lyrics, the timing of the vocal inflections, the way it tells a heavy metal story, the drums, the bass, the heavy, balsey tone of the rock'n the walls rhythm guitar, the badassery of the lead guitar, it's incredible
My great niece is only 17 and she absolutely loves the ST Army! I keep sending her your vids and she keeps thanking me for introducing her to your music. Suicidal! Rock on!
I got high( wicky stick) with these guys and with the drummer and guitarist for nuclear assault back in the 90's chicago at the VIC ....billy milano was a special guest with mod.
Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb Resting in the safety of their tomb Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock The spade is the key with which their gate we'll unlock Why should they be resting so peacefully When we're up above in pure misery I don't care that they've already died That's not enough to make me satisfied So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour Then we'll unleas the darkest of power Hell's gates will open a new judgment day Now is the time that the dead will pay Why should they be resting so peacefully When we're up above in pure misery I don't care that they've already died That's not enough to make me satisfied Waking the dead, waking the dead, waking the dead All rise! Hell's gates open the earth trembles and shakes Now their pardons are over they pray for their mistakes Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flames When the dead come out their bodies we'll maim CHORUS Rob-Robbing their graves stealing their bones Bang-Banging our heads to their screams and their moans Fix-Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal Soon-Soon we will know how good it feels This is not damnation or an act of God Now the dead they rise ripping through the sod Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be The dead are free-the dead are free! CHORUS Waking the dead-you said that it wouldn't be Waking the dead-You said that we wouldn't see Waking the dead-Now the dead stand before our own eyes Silence is blaring the earth opens wide History repeats, reburied they die Darkness descends through nature's pores They return to their sleep on earth's basement floor Now they rest not so peacefully As they've had a taste of our misery I didn't care that they'd already died That wasn't enough to make me satisfied Return back to their tombs now they lay This is no game for the novice to play Repeat not a word lest ye be forewarned The punishment of Hell's darkness and scorn Repeat not a word of the sermon said A prayer for the dead, don't play with the dead Don't try to comprehend what's going on You can't understand, please don't understand Waking the dead-And we'll be Waking the dead-All rise now Waking the dead-We're gonna wake the dead Waking the dead I said the words what have I done I thought it cool, I thought it fun The words I say they start to change The syllables now rearranged A language I can't comprehend I shut my mouth it doesn't end The bowels of nature open wide I cannot move I cannot hide I can't believe the things I see The dead are free, the dead are free I close my eyes and pray it's not real Their presence close coldness I feel What have I done Lord please forgive Once they died, but now they live I wake the dead, I ake the dead, I wake the dead, I wake the dead! Cleanse the lepers Cast out the demons Wake the dead!
The concert footage of this song is killer! The vocals are sung faster. I like this song. The subject matter and lyrics are great. This video is so primitive it's cool.
48 now mother of 4.. 20 thru 26 and two wee grandkids and Nana loves blasting old skool ST... this ( and hey Institutionalized and more)... had a mohawk in the 80s....loved skate thrash... punk... death metal.. yes. Coolest Nana around LOL.. i will still love this shit if i was 80
Wahhh....be happy you can watch it over and over again if you choose. Back in the day you either had the VHS tape, lucky to see it on MTV if you waited for it, or video jukebox which could take quite sometime to watch your selection...and it cost money. Here it is free over and over again.
I remember Suicidal Tendencies warming up for Queensryche on their Empire tour. They passed out an EP cassette calling it Taste Test. We got it home and jammed it forever! Sold ever since.
How about the small bit when the camera focuses on clark starring at him and he's shredding the guitar with total aggressivness doing his solo?He looks and act so caught up in the sound of the guitar so much,brilliant
mike is badass in the stuff he wore for videos, hes got that bandana in this one, the fedora in trip at the brain, and always had something on to rep so cal. rocky george is who inspired me to play guitar, and robert trujllo IS epic on the bass. god i miss the old st.
Rocky George is such a slamming guitar player.
And he hardly gets recognized for his ability to shred on the guitar !! He is the master !!!
Mike Clark was the man as well! He often doesnt get ant credit when he wrote a lot of their songs.
@@JodyHughesWarriorKing
Yeah, this is a No Mercy song. Several of ST's best songs, are actually No Mercy songs. Clark is the actual thrasher. Grant Estes was a fucking *shredder*
Wickedly underrated
@@duaneburns2975 yes. Not commercial enough so inaccessible to the masses. Which is a good thing
This band needs to be recognized as one of the best hardcore metal bands ever!

its crossover like Ludichrist Crumbsuckers DRI SOD MOD Agnostic Front just to name a few
@@LunaKai01, no doubt! Why the fk haven’t they been inducted yet?!
At first they were Skate Punk Rock!! ,{Punk} Rock n Roll and all that Jazz!!!
they are, dude
Makes you headbang to it wherever you hear this song 39 plus years later
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT BROTHER
@@edgardiaz2361 YES SIR
39??? I think you've made a small mistake..
This came out in '89

The riff is so simple and at the same time so ridiculously awesome, and those Rocky George's solos are beautiful
rocky george is by far one of the best lead guitarists.
Love it!
😮 Rocky George Best

The most underrated band of all-time. These guys live were unreal.
Still are

So Suicidal Tendencies, which genre will you be? Punk? Hardcore? Thrash? Funk? Rap? Jazz?
Suicidal Tendencies: Yes.
Rock n Roll!!!!!! 😂❤
LoFi
definately one of the greatest bands ever. their whole style was revolutionary. And nothing kicked ass or gets you more hyped up than "you can't bring me down"
👍
True. For me its the Trip at the brain though
I'm 52 yrs. young and will NEVER give up on the best band ever .

Rocky George is in my top 5 favorite lead guitarist of all time
Hes good, but Grant Estes was something else. He was the innovator that created that sound.
Fuck yeah..
And WAY underrated by the music industry.
Top 3 amigo!!
Agreed!
Word!
No comment about RJ Herrera’s stick escaping from his right hand on 1:50 ?
These guys were so far ahead of their time...awesome stuff..
criminally underrated is the appropriate term for this classic thrash band and what they've contributed to music
+drivendown84 I've recently seen them live as they were the 2nd opening for slipknot, I was fuckin impressed! They have an awesome stage presence.
+drivendown84 Bro Suicidal Tendencies are one the best known and appreciated thrash metal bands.
+h1r43th4l1v3 mostly the only one..
Maitre Yoda Thrash is not too big with modern 'metalheads', true.
+h1r43th4l1v3 I agree, Metalheads and Punks have become quite seperated even though it's quite the same energy. It's why I love suicidal, the "fuck you kinda" vocals with the thrash metal in the background.
Rocky George's first solo is just amazing, pure
Rocky George makes a difference!
One of my favorite guitarrists!
Total awesomeness. One of their best tracks -criminally underrated
Mike is crazy. FSU locals only!!!
👺
Rocky George is a beast on guitar who never got his due!!!best ST lineup
Suicidal kept me alive through high school and abusive parents
cristi mAc all that matters is you fucking made it.
mmmmmm... troubled mamma's girl...

Me too.
right there with ya cristi 30 years later the pain won't go away buy fight the good fight damm i'm old lol
Suicidal just rips! Plain and simple! This song is one of the greatest metal songs ever! The talent of suicidal tendencies is as high a level as you’ll find!
I am so glad i have the privilege to see this, the best of all time version of Suicidal Tendencies live, twice. No Clark, No Rocky, No true ST.
2020-this is STILL one of the HEAVIEST songs I have ever heard.
Blew the top of my head off when I first heard it and still does.
Have been listening to Suicidal Tendencies since the 80's. Still listening in 2018. Suicidal for life.
ST! ST!
The Feel Like Shit/Deja Vu EP might be Suicidal's most aggressive thrash album. Sick riffs, tons of fast parts... all good.
Still fucking love it
That was my first introduction to metal music and it still rules
Went to see them at riot fest 2016... Still have a great live show... Great energy... Kept their integrity as a band and in the later years have even returned to the punk roots... One of the greatest bands of all time...
I don't know where I'd rank Rocky George but he's definitely in the Top Ten Guitar players in Metal. and In his era.
Great memories. The rhythm guitar was up front and central throughout the whole thing.
The lyrical depths of this song. So many levels
I grew up listening to this band this was called skater music back in the day I used to play this song and skate board to my house from school
My fav band, it was the best line up back those days ST for LIFE
ST just keeps rolling.l saw them in 1986 and was amazed.Rocky's guitar work was madness and the rest of the band rocked.Keep put it out.
it was in 1987,when i got to know S.T. I was 17,now I am 46 and there still the best
Laurinda B hell yea I too love these dudes!!!!!! Lost again !!! Goin breakdown!!!!
Ohhhh lala
I've been listening to several of their tracks now, and I have to say the guitar riffs have yet to disappoint.
4/24, i know these guy’s have been around for awhile but this is the first time I’ve heard this song while watching this video & was totally blown away by the ripping solo’s in this song !
Rocky George guitar playing sounds So damn good.
Robert Trujillo bass playing sounds So damn good.
Now somebody get Mike a Pepsi!
This is one Hell of a RAGING song!!! Those riffs KILL,man! CLASSIC video as well. One of ST's best!
Rocky George The Guitar Master!
They are recognised as the best. Forever. Been a fan since 84. Now I'm fifty and still love them.
Just bought this Cap and it stood Suicidal Tendencies on it Now i know from where it came and this band is Awesome!!!
I’m a little late on this...Welcome to The Army 🖤🤘🏻
my friends and i got hats banned from out high school after wearing our ST hats to school the day after seeing them open for Queensryche in 91..
Criminally underrated song and band. You gotta love ST's crisp thrash sound, nobody tops it, yet they've had fuck all recognition for it. All we hear is Metallica this, Slayer that (not that they are bad or anything).

Poetry
Mike Muir was a punk rocker that surrounded himself with great musicians for a while and accidentally had a great metal band.
55 and still my favorite all time ST4LIFE
One of the under rated bands
"Cleanse the Lepers, cast out the demons, Wake the dead!" Fukn love ST.
all time classic riff
The heaviest and scaryest shit. This really got Me hooked when it came out and I was 14. Heydays to Me.
My great niece is only 17 and she absolutely loves the ST Army!
I keep sending her your vids and she keeps thanking me for introducing her to your music.
Suicidal!
Rock on!
I got high( wicky stick) with these guys and with the drummer and guitarist for nuclear assault back in the 90's chicago at the VIC ....billy milano was a special guest with mod.
brandon diehl Mike is straight edge I thought?
Well mike Muir yes was allways straight edge but the other guys in this line up did smoke herb
One of the nastiest riffs out there!!!
@@reapermanslayer theres a solo.....
im 46 and still rock this shit out!!!
This is such an amazing video... the skull at 3:35
maybe the greatest metal song ever written.... that last 90 seconds will burn your face off
Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb
Resting in the safety of their tomb
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
The spade is the key with which their gate we'll unlock
Why should they be resting so peacefully
When we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they've already died
That's not enough to make me satisfied
So we wait till the stroke of the midnight hour
Then we'll unleas the darkest of power
Hell's gates will open a new judgment day
Now is the time that the dead will pay
Why should they be resting so peacefully
When we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they've already died
That's not enough to make me satisfied
Waking the dead, waking the dead, waking the dead
All rise!
Hell's gates open the earth trembles and shakes
Now their pardons are over they pray for their mistakes
Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flames
When the dead come out their bodies we'll maim
CHORUS
Rob-Robbing their graves stealing their bones
Bang-Banging our heads to their screams and their moans
Fix-Fixing the wounds that even time cannot heal
Soon-Soon we will know how good it feels
This is not damnation or an act of God
Now the dead they rise ripping through the sod
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
The dead are free-the dead are free!
CHORUS
Waking the dead-you said that it wouldn't be
Waking the dead-You said that we wouldn't see
Waking the dead-Now the dead stand before our own eyes
Silence is blaring the earth opens wide
History repeats, reburied they die
Darkness descends through nature's pores
They return to their sleep on earth's basement floor
Now they rest not so peacefully
As they've had a taste of our misery
I didn't care that they'd already died
That wasn't enough to make me satisfied
Return back to their tombs now they lay
This is no game for the novice to play
Repeat not a word lest ye be forewarned
The punishment of Hell's darkness and scorn
Repeat not a word of the sermon said
A prayer for the dead, don't play with the dead
Don't try to comprehend what's going on
You can't understand, please don't understand
Waking the dead-And we'll be
Waking the dead-All rise now
Waking the dead-We're gonna wake the dead
Waking the dead
I said the words what have I done
I thought it cool, I thought it fun
The words I say they start to change
The syllables now rearranged
A language I can't comprehend
I shut my mouth it doesn't end
The bowels of nature open wide
I cannot move I cannot hide
I can't believe the things I see
The dead are free, the dead are free
I close my eyes and pray it's not real
Their presence close coldness I feel
What have I done Lord please forgive
Once they died, but now they live
I wake the dead, I ake the dead, I wake the dead, I wake the dead!
Cleanse the lepers
Cast out the demons
Wake the dead!
thrashterpiece
That was my first contact with the band, love this song

Brand new to ST I haven’t gotten over this song yet

Go listen to the album "How will I laugh tomorrow..." and never look back!
Take a listen to trip of the brain and join the army

I was watching an old headbangers ball interview an this was about to come on then it got edited out, now i'm here, suicidal 4 life
I was just thinking, the first time I saw this video as a teenager was on a Headbangers Ball Halloween special.
I FKN LOVE THIS BAND , THEY ARE THE BEST BAND EVER
I like the vato loco look on them, Suicidal tendencies keep it real.
+Nick Fiscina facts
and that is why they never "hit"

I forgot that these dudes were fucking good. seriously underrated
I remember Suicidal Tendencies warming up for Queensryche on their Empire tour. They passed out an EP cassette calling it Taste Test. We got it home and jammed it forever! Sold ever since.
