Excellent review as ever, you just get it where others don't and dismiss it. One of my favorite crass songs and has been for 40 years is "I ain't thick it's just a trick " which you might find a real treat, thanks Kev
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Carol is a tremendous songwriter/pianist in her own right..... Very different from Crass / Ignorant...... incredible lyrics, tremendous melodies....
Crass and Minor Threat are my FAVOURITE hardcore political punkrock band's with real substance and integrity who never betrayed their Morales for cash or fame ( truly punkrock to the core)
Chad please check out MISSING TEETH video's THE PLAGUE AND Volga man Plus THE CITY NEWTON BOMBER'S live at Galatos whole gig these guys are all friends of mine from Auckland Aotearoa new Zealand and STICKY FILTH from Taranaki Aotearoa New Zealand songs to check out HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US AND NADIA all these band's played at my 40 th birthday 12 years ago also THE MURDER CHORD auckland new zealand two piece keyboards and drums Dave on keyboards and vocals was the Drummer for Missing Teeth and Ryan on Drum's used to be the Drummer for real real sick and is solid as FUCK
Same age but I didn't know anarchist punk except Dead Kennedys. Til I moved to Denver in '01 and eventually discovered CRASS, Conflict, Poison Girls, MDC, Rudimentary Peni, Napalm Death ✊🏴☠️✌️🏴☠️♥️⚖️📣
I explained it kinda badly in the msg on patreon lol In OG crass there were 3 singers Steve ignorant Joy De vivre Eve libertine (also featured in the latter half of "bloody revolutions" which you reacted to) This song is from the album "penis envy" in which eve libertine was the lead vocalist for all the songs except for "health surface" which Joy de vivre was the lead vocals Steve wasn't featured at all in this album In this live show it had carol hodge replacing eve libertine essentially
Outstanding reaction and channel ! Out of all the punk reactions I've seen( which there isn't all that many of...)You proceed to be the only guy that gets it, and I'm sure you're not reacting to punk for the views! You probably get less with punk than anything ,but I'm really glad you're reacting to it.
It's really cool to see someone who isn't an angry/confused teenager react to CRASS/PUNKROCK for the first time and get it!!! Real PUNKROCK and not just dismiss it as angry noise!!! Because it's way more than that it's ANGRY AND IT'S ON POINT INFORMATIVE/RELEVANT And REAL
The whole gig was an absolute head fck. I walked into the venue as a 51 year old and left as a teen again. Carol Hodge is an amazing performer in her own right. I was privileged to see her and photograph her at one of her gigs in London. Not to mention, she's a lovely person. LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY
If you haven't already reviewed them, here's 2 songs: I Ain't Thick, It's Just A Trick (from the album, Stations Of The Crass), and Rival Tribal Rebel Revel (which was released as a flexidisk that was given free with a fanzine from back in I think 1980. There was also a limited run of some hard vinyl copies that were given to record stores and radio stations, so they could be played over and over without as much wear and tear as a flexi, so that people could listen to it to see if they liked it before buying the fanzine). Great review you did here, thanks!
The look on your face as you delve into the song is awesome. It’s that thrill like you want to dive into the mosh pit, and also you’re anticipating the revolution will come soon!
I just discovered your channel out of nowhere. Mate, I really love Crass, ans Carol. But also, the guitar player is Graham "Gizz" Butt. You need to check is old work with The English Dogs, The Desecrators and The Destructors. The drummer is Spike T Smith, an incredibly talented drummer. Anyways, Carol is THE girl and Crass always delivers. This complete show is a delight, probably the best live punk show ever.
Crass - Mother Earth (in "Steve Ignorant - The Last Supper (Crass)" time: 12:05) this is Perfect. Please listen to these super crazy sounds. This bass line, this drums (like a war march), this guitar is all about tricks and crazy sounds.
You should see this band if you ever get the chance, they are so much better now. Listen to the original crass version of this song, its amazing. Also Carole does have her own music available, she has an amazing voice
Wow - thank you for this upload. Last i knew about Steve Ignrant he was singing for Conflict. After that he was in a versiuon of the Coast Guard - for real. Going out and saving sailors in distress. Very cool to learn about this. Isn't that Eve Libertine on vocals ? She still works with Steve ?
The Last Supper was the name of the show, the last time ever that Steve would perform Crass songs. This song Systematic Death is originally from the third Crass album Penis Envy. There it is sung by Eve Libertine and she's backed by the original band.
Yes Ignorant with his 'Promise' (His words) that he would NEVER be playing these songs again but now plays the fuck out of them to make a load of money eh?
I was lucky to catch them for the first, and probably last time at No Values. The first song was, Do they owe us a Living and I was screaming in seconds.
grew up in Philly mid-90's - WU-tang all the way (amongst pretty much all NY hip hop) BUT my first girlfriend at 15 was punk and she showed me CRASS. They are my fav. band to this day. Will never stop supporting CRASS.
I always hugely enjoy your reviews of Crass, so heartwarming to see an American (and many Brits too) who simply 'get it' and appreciate it, Thank You. If you enjoyed the vocals on this (great as they are) i implore you to check out the original with lyrics from the 80's with Crass' previous long-term vocalist.
Hell yeah, CRASS are so good, and so important! their music was/is ages before of it's time, so creative and artistic, yet never ever comprimising. been listening to them for more than 20 years now, and still seeing them as one of the best ever. Cheers!
I love how excited you get man!! you liking this is a good sign! the lyrics are so good in their music. people need to read along a few times until you know the song the. it just gets better and better
Hey so cool you're diggin this! Lyric breakdown would be amazing. Also, in particular, Do They Owe Us a Living from album The Feeding of 5000. This band got me through so many years, I'm 53 now n heard them age 15 taping to cassette off college/community radio. Fav album Penis Envy.
I LOVE Carol's voice! When Steve Ignorant decided to a tour back in....I think it was 2010? 2011? I had heard that there were auditions for Joi De Vivre's & Eve Libertine's vocals & I hoped that Steve chose wisely. I went to see them. I was living in Seattle. EXCELLENT show! Eve Libertine used to sing this track: it's from the Crass album called Penis Envy. Carol embodies the spirit of these songs perfectly. Her passion is palpable! Thanks for reviewing! 🖤💀
Great!!! Just noticed, a drummer peer/friend of mine on the drums. Spike Smith! Good dude. Great reaction video too! Really great to see someone here in youtube world getting hyped on the punk rock tip!
You can’t call Gizz an “original punk” when he was 10 or 11 when punk broke through. But he did play with the English Dogs (formed in 1980/81) from about 1984/5.
A couple of the punk songs people have been having you check out are pretty good, but most of them for me are lower-tier when it comes quality, musicianship and lyrics. Love to see more variety for the genre.
The whole of the last supper gig is amazing it’s about an hour and a half of crass songs give it a watch it’s great. I saw crass 3 times 1981/82/83 I was 16/17 and 18. Please give it a watch you seem to like crass I promise you will love it.Crass lyrics are class. I’m sorry I didn’t realise this video was two years old lol English punk rock is the best though lol
This is real protest that's why it sounds real, Crass is also art, together with Conflict it's a riot! I am a punkster my whole life and have been squatting for years ,I am 48 now and still won't give in although my body is ruined( mostly getting beat up by skins and coppers) " chords are frustration when the words are from the heart" " don't expect music when the melody is anger when the message sings defiance" those slogans are Crass in a nutshell( taken from a Crass records compilation, "Bulshit detector three"
My friends! Gizz on guitar and Spike on the kit! This was the best tour back in 2012. I hold Carol at my top of the punk rock female vocalist list. Well done, love the review, cheers! W
My New Model Army request for you is 'Vengeance'. And if you like that then check out 'Inheritance'. Or maybe '225' or 'Archway Towers' or 'Lust For Power' hell i don't know. I've been part of the NMA fam for almost 30 years now. We're more of a tribe than a fanbase and punk heart and soul is what unites us.
I've been into CRASS since I first heard them back in 1979 and I particularly love this track and yes I agree that her voice is truly Wonderful 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
Since their start in the seventies Crass, for me at least, has always been a guiding light for many to see through the glossy veneer of the system we live in. Derided, persecuted, harrassed by the British government for speaking out against the BS and injustice that was so evidently visible and ignored by so many. I am happy for you that the dime has dropped. Want the modern version of this? Sleaford Mods!
I'm so sorry I didn't see this when it came out, the female singer in this vid is filling in for Eve Libertine who refused to be a part of this cash grab that Steve ignorant organized . She and Penny Rimbaud wanted no part of it. If you really enjoy the lyrics, look into poetry from Penny Rimbaud, he's a really interesting guy. I've been a crass fan since around 1980. I still listen to them, even have the symbol tattooed on my forearm. It's Kool to see someone with the same reaction I had more than 40 years ago, cheers
I thought this was a great gig, penny and eve made an appearance, some people didn't like it was Steve doing this but none of the others were up for a full tour
Yep, it's not the commercial punk of Green Day, the Clash, etc. The real bands were the Sex Pistols, the Damned, Crass, etc. They had absolutely no interest in success.
Hello, Carol Hodge here, thank you so much for your review, I'm so glad you enjoyed what we do!
Holy Shit! No, thank you. This was an awesome song and you have an Amazing voice!
Excellent review as ever, you just get it where others don't and dismiss it. One of my favorite crass songs and has been for 40 years is "I ain't thick it's just a trick " which you might find a real treat, thanks Kev
I have to say as a long-time CRASS fan - as glad to see you still around. Please stay safe and healthy - we need the CRASS ethos now more than ever.
You're an absolute legend! 🍻
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Carol is a tremendous songwriter/pianist in her own right..... Very different from Crass / Ignorant...... incredible lyrics, tremendous melodies....
You hit it on the head - when you hear CRASS or the Dead Kennedys and then you hear Blink 182 and there is no question where punk is.
Yes, love Crass and love the fact that you are willing to react to Crass when not many will 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

This is from Crass' LP Penis Envy - The guys didn't sing any of the vocals. All the lyrics were song by the CRass women. Brilliant LP.
Penis Envy and Stations of the Crass are Crass at their peak
I explained it kinda badly in the msg on patreon lol
In OG crass there were 3 singers
Steve ignorant
Joy De vivre
Eve libertine (also featured in the latter half of "bloody revolutions" which you reacted to)
This song is from the album "penis envy" in which eve libertine was the lead vocalist for all the songs except for "health surface" which Joy de vivre was the lead vocals
Steve wasn't featured at all in this album
In this live show it had carol hodge replacing eve libertine essentially
Fantastic. This was the last gig I ever went to. Carol Hodge did a stellar job. Eve Libertine and Penny Rimbaud made appearance also.
I think pete was on bass too
Whoa

crass is the 'jazz' of punk music
More CRASS! And yes, the lyrics make them amazing.
I saw both of steve ignorants last supper shows here in Los Angelos and Carol Hodge was amazing.
I was at the last supper... Saw original crass back in 81. Both equally best gigs I've ever witnessed. (A)
Yes please more CRASS and a lyrical breakdown of lyrics will be fun/awesome
Agreed!
The look on your face as you delve into the song is awesome. It’s that thrill like you want to dive into the mosh pit, and also you’re anticipating the revolution will come soon!
Thanx ! Again a great choice !
Try Conflict "this is the A.L.F."
Gone off that one a bit since finding out Colin shot and killed animals he supposedly liberated.Check his interview with Erin Micklow.
That is not an easy song to sing but Carol is awesome. Got to say hello to here outside The Brudenell in Leeds as she enjoyed a post gig ciggie

Nailed it! So f^cking amazing and rare the original sound doesn't lack for the change. Wow!
P.S. YES!! I would LOVE it if you'd feature more songs by Crass. Walls is my favorite song by them. I Know There Is Love is my second favorite!
🖤💀
Imagine finding this as a teenager in the eighties it was a different world and this did its job RUBBING UP AUTHORITY THE WRONG WAY WITH TRUTH.
I was at this gig and it was fckn amazing. Tears flooded
Great!!! Just noticed, a drummer peer/friend of mine on the drums. Spike Smith! Good dude. Great reaction video too! Really great to see someone here in youtube world getting hyped on the punk rock tip!
Well done,Mr TNT.Crass taught me more about critical thinking and the ways of the world more than school/college(uni) could have ever hope to.
Carol Hodge, Steve, and the band are outstanding. This is an excellent example of pure punk. We love these guys.
My personal favorite Crass songs are Walls, Berkertex Bribe and Securicor. great freaking band!
The Guitarist on the left ( also an original Punk Rocker ) played with The Prodigy throughout the 90`s too

Absolutely love Carol Hodge. Pure energy 😎❤️
Yeah real punk rock for sure
Anarcho-Punk. 😉
This is awesome man. Whenever you get the chance you should do "The Violators - Summer of 81 " next. Let us know what you think, enjoy ! 🍻 Cheers Ⓐ
Love that Crass is on your list.

"Systematic death" is their best and the lyrics are beautiful and depressingly poignant.
Yesss! Masterpiece! 🇬🇧
Thank You, Man!! 🇺🇸
P.P.S.
big man, big M.A.N. is another AMAZING Crass song!
FIGHT WAR, NOT WARS

Try subhumans the day the country died or cradle to the grave another anarchist band from same era keep up the good work
Saw crass in 83 then 22 still great
