In the 90's their rehearsal room was right next door to my band's room at the studio... Talk about super cool 😎! When we were done with our set, I would always stay late to see if I could catch them playing down the hall... I was working hard on my music and then I got to listen to one of my old favorites live on the same night! I couldn't believe, of all the bands that could've had that room next door, that it would turn out to be them! It was a treat, and a dream come true every time I heard them in that room...!
You might like RKL,GISM,Warzone,Poison Arts,Gang Green,ANTiSEEN,Bad Brains,and Cro-Mags from around this period aswell if you haven't already heard all of the above. The standards for 80s Era Metallic HC I guess at least to me.
@@williamperri3437 my man shitting on the Mackie worship!!!! I don't buy your thesis but you do know your drummer flesh. You forgot Pete Hines, Doug Beans, Lukey Luke, and Lou Beato.
YOU GUYS WANNA SEE THE BAND OR THE BOUNCERS- best live album ever. and then Freddie FUCK! the scream from Roger on Strength AND FUCKING FREDDIE ON BLIND DESTROYS!!! - this was the chicken that cracked the egg, Keep fucking around YEEEEEEAAOH Toxic shock - THIS is a snapshot of the times not a shitty mag covering the scene - this is the real deal WE knew it then . THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE SHOWS EVER RECORDED period.
This was one of the albums i purchased on compact disc (along with FEAR,TSOL,etc) as the format was still kinda new way back in 1989. I have long lost that CD but listening to this 3 decades later I realize that this is a very well done live recording. I played at CBGBs before and the soundman could dub you a raw soundboard to cassette or VHS for cheap,but this record is done very nicely considering all the onstage slam dance ,stage diving antic i assume were happening at this show. Eventually saw AF open up for Cannibal Corpse and Obituary in Texas to a 90% death metal crowd. Agnostic Front were totally on fire and kinda blew away the headliners with a crystal clear sound and tons of energy.
My favorite AF album. Saw them live in 91. Roger is a nice guy, gave me a stack of AF stickers. Craig Setari was with them that night as well. Great bass player.
I'm not being some hippy ass mofo that said he was at woodstock...I'm a 49 year old NY native that literally went into CBGB Sunday Hardcore Matinees for about 10 years solid....Fridays' at either Sundance in Bayshore, Right Track Inn in Freeport.....then always CBs for the $5 matinee. You knew you were getting AF, The Mags, Murphy's Law, Warzone, LeeWay, Token Entry.........AND THE GORILLA BISCUITS. FUCK I MISS THIS SHIT
I remember buying this on Cassette when it first came out! Best live show in my opinion they were all on that day! seen them 4 times over the older years.great N.Y.C. Hardcore.
I have this on cassette the original tape! Back then tapes were cool because I had my Boombox blasting Hardcore in the Mid "80", s in the park I hung out in when I was a tennnager in Yes NJ.
I also had the tape. It sounded so cool and raw on tape or record. The CD sounds weak and I'm sure the new repress or remastered versions or whatever they call it can't top the original recording
New York Hardcore: Well not everything was so left wing in the old days, Cause for Alarm from Agnostic Front, Peter Steeles Carnivore, Billy Milanos M.O.D., early Biohazard, there were some controversial lyrics like Aren't you hungry from M.O.D. for example. I remember seeing M.O.D. with Skinhead Security on stage. I did see some of this bands in the 80s and I was a Skinhead then ;)
All your statement tells us Errol, is that you weren't there & you don't know. Go read the lyrics to Fascist Attitudes, and if you still think AF is rightwing, you're even dumber than you already appear.
Yes. According to some writings on the history of NYHC from 80-84 alot of sort of left wing bands like Heartattack, False Prophets, Reagan Youth, Kraut, No Thanks, and from 84 on the right wing skinhead scene took over along with Crossover thrash like Agnostic Front, Cromags, Warzone, Murphys Law, and Youth Defense League. Not saying these bands were racist they just had some right wing views. But actually from reading, AF and Cause for Alarm got along with both scenes. CFA touring with MDC and Roger's girlfriend at the time was Amy the singer for political crust left wing band Nausea
I Bought This From Second Coming Records In The Village in "1989" Summer And Yes I Miss Blecker Bob,s and The Record Factory It's Only Rock & Roll Venius Records on 8 the. Street and A Few More that I Forgot to mention. Good Old Days Mid "80",s Going to buy Punk and Hardcore. Loved Those Times. And Once In. A While meeting people from the N.Y. Hardcore Scene.
One of the best hard core bands ever saw them play at chain reaction and Alex's bar in the ninety's I saw them play at chain reaction with tsol sold out one of the best shows ever vinny stigma got me and my friend Damon in for free Damon played guitar for straight faces and then I saw them play an all old school set at Alex's bar nine months ago it was sold out to bothe shows were fucking bad ass I've been to thousands of hard core shoes I'm forty one now and still love hard core FSU
Man.. LOVE this album.. Haven't heard it in years. I have the album somewhere but carried around the cassette tape when i traveled back in the early 90's.. Classic Album love these guys
You wanna see the band or the bouncers? This shit is on Video the whole show - it's a boot but it's out there - if you were trading tapes in the 80's (you were not) you'd guillotine yourself.
@@sonnypadilla9681 well before the word moshing was mainstream it was used regularly in the NYHC. The word Moshing originated in the New York Hardcore Scene. Scott Ian of Anthrax first heard the word mosh from Vinnie Stigma.
@@sonnypadilla9681 2:28 dissing minorities. Well not really racist cause Roger is Cubano and didn't write the lyrics but very right wing ideal lyrics that racists would agree with.

What band were you in
Still one of the best live albums ever!!!!
Q
My fave vocals by roger at this time period
It's one of the best things they ever did,shame they moved more commercial and away from that more metallic sound.
You might like RKL,GISM,Warzone,Poison Arts,Gang Green,ANTiSEEN,Bad Brains,and Cro-Mags from around this period aswell if you haven't already heard all of the above. The standards for 80s Era Metallic HC I guess at least to me.
Reminds me of the hot summers in NYC when I used to go shopping for records at Bleecker Bob's records. :)
Great days indeed
Tower Records 😂
Best live album I been listening for almost 35years.❤
This album hits the spot today !
that's will shepler on the drums, just as good as mackie in my opinion.
Shepler is one of the most slept on thrash drummers of the era.
better
@@unbridledenthusiasm just as good
@@williamperri3437 my man shitting on the Mackie worship!!!! I don't buy your thesis but you do know your drummer flesh. You forgot Pete Hines, Doug Beans, Lukey Luke, and Lou Beato.
He is bad ass
Love this record. A poster of this album cover hangs in the Hard Rock Cafe in Bangkok, Thailand.
That's honestly pretty funny.
This record captures what it was like to see and hear AF play live back in the day. What a scene back in the 80s through early 90s.
I listened to them then and still do today 30+ years later. nyhc
Who the fuck puts ads in the middle of an album
Still have this on vinyl. Saw them with Cro Mags, Suicidal Tendencies and Beowulf at Ruthy's Inn Berkeley. 1984 or so.
That's a great lineup
Goddamn that’s an amazing bill
Nice! I just scored a original copy for $20(a mint original vinyl copy goes for $100 these days) it’s a little beat up but plays fine 🤙🏻

Dude, Will Shepler is out of his gourd on this album. TIGHT AF
Shepler is one of the best hardcore drummers to do it! His work with AF & Madball is nothing short of phenomenal.
@@cigarsalute agreed
This album made me who I am!!!
Wow. I was at this show. I saw them 5 or 6 times back in the late 80s. I thought this one was in 92. I'm shot. Lol.
my favorite as a rebellious teen! the energy they captured was so raw.
The Godfathers of Hardcore, saw them live twice!! Awesome shows.

Love the end of "The Pain Song"
Band: "You'll all miss me you assholes."
Crowd: "Oh F#%k you."
My favorite AF album. Saw them live in 91. Roger is a nice guy, gave me a stack of AF stickers. Craig Setari was with them that night as well. Great bass player.

Best live hardcore album.
By far
I'm not being some hippy ass mofo that said he was at woodstock...I'm a 49 year old NY native that literally went into CBGB Sunday Hardcore Matinees for about 10 years solid....Fridays' at either Sundance in Bayshore, Right Track Inn in Freeport.....then always CBs for the $5 matinee.

Wish I could have seen AF,Cro-Mags, and Warzone in The 80s. That sounds fucking amazing. Feel like it wouldn't be half the same now.
Sundance!!!
Still sounds grand. Saw them in 1990 at Zopo, Horst. We were practically the only non-skins. Pretty rough pit hahaha.
I remember buying this on Cassette when it first came out! Best live show in my opinion they were all on that day! seen them 4 times over the older years.great N.Y.C. Hardcore.
Great album, all I really need from Agnostic Front.
Probably there best.
NYHC. Got into these guys back with the Victim in Pain original cover album in the 80's. STIGMA!
One of the best live recordings period!
This is my go-to AF album!
Thanks for Posting..
fsu
They should play your mistake faster. It isn't fast enough.
Haha....just reading your comment while your mistake was playing...was just admiring the speed n precision of drums n bass.
Freddy Madball during Blind Justice!
The BEST

I SEE DOCS WITH RED LACES ARE THEY FOR SKINS OR AGAINST SKINS
Are you dumb they were skins lower East side was filled with them
This was from when laces meant laces. Fucking internet urban myth lace color crap...
@@MK-ov4zx When it meant you just liked the color of those laces on your Dr Martens. These clown ass internet dorks are so lame now.
When Roger's vocals were good
Yes nowadays he sounds awful.
Yeah, he found the right balance here.
His best vocals are on this record and it happens to be a live record. And second of course is Victim in Pain record
I love his vocals on cause for alarm
hehe i miss old new york
YOU CANT KILL THE METAL
Af is New York hard core. They are the best. They are the only band that makes me want to live in New York.
I saw AF in Germany 2009! Great Show!!!
Denis kinda sounds like a more muscular Steve Albini.
First real metal album I ever owned. Shaped and made me who I am today. Thanks AF
this is not metal bro
When your 12/13 from suburban Philly that’s metal. In the end it’s AF is a way of life that all I was trying to say.
@@scottredding9725 the album cover pretty much shows right away it's not metal
@@hankgege2199 it's crossover thrash. Metal and punk
@@adrianshephard378 It's got thrash/crossover elements on some songs but AF is known mostly for being a NYHC band.
UNITED BLOOD! - you Gotta let the video from the show leak! THE BEST HARDCORE SHOW EVER! EEEEEEEEEEEEHHA!
