Because I’ve received a lot of comments about this, I’d like to address some errors I made throughout this video.
1. DK’s debut album is called Fresh FRUIT For Rotting Vegetables, not Fresh FRUITS. This is most likely a case of the Mandela Effect. Considering the album’s name doesn’t appear on the cover, I understand why I’d screw it up, but I still feel kinda embarrassed over that minor screw-up. At least I got the name correct on screen.
2. East Bay Ray also played a big role in forming the band. It was thanks to East Bay Ray putting out advertisements on guitar stores which Biafra eventually responded to that DK would be formed.
3. I mispronounced “Marin” in Moon Over Marin. Minor mistake, but one I should still own up to.
Mistakes aside, I’m proud of how this video came out. Dead Kennedys are a band that hold a special place in my heart for very personal reasons, and it brings me great joy seeing this retrospective gaining so much traction. Thanks for the support everyone!
I was skeptical of this video before watching it, but its a pretty good quality look at DK, nice video!
I got the ”Give me Convenience…” album when it came out (i was 12yo), and my life was never the same again. Maybe i was a bit too young to learn how f-ed up this world is at 12, but i rather learn the truth early.
I see the band members with steve Lacy's gemini rights suit & tie on the thumbnail…….
I CLICK IMMEDIETELY
Awesome I was raised on Dead Kennedys. 🤘✌️🏴☠️🇦🇺
I miss the 80s.
You say the sex pistols were putting out the best against main stream at the time, but I argue that motorhead was at the time and will forever be more influential than the massively overrated and untalented sex pistols who only released one very, very shitty album.
I found Jello's incessant political ramblings to be very boring, so DK fell off my radar. Now that I'm older, I appreciate how intelligent the lyrics were, but the constant bitching is still off-putting.
As a junior in high school who's been a fan of anything hardcore, weird, or just generally going against the grain of pop culture, Dead Kennedys is a band I really connect with. As a musician myself I totally click with their lyrics about the industry, pop, and many other things such as trends and conformity. I hate to sound like one of those annoying "born in the wrong generation" kids but I definitely feel out of touch with a lot of what my peer group is into because it all feels so manufactured to me, and a lot of DK's songs resonate with me for that reason as well. Thanks for the great vid, love the channel!
What a good tribute to a superb band!
Dead Kennedys died the Day Jello left.
Soup is good food has to be the greatest song ever
My life was changed forever on the evening of September 5, 1981 when I saw the Dead Kennedys play at the Florentine Gardens on Hollywood Blvd,, on a Saturday night before the start of my High School senior year the following Monday (and my ears were still ringing from the show). I went on to see them another 14 times before they broke up (the current 'grouping' is merely a bad karaoke act, as there is no DK's without Jello, period) & will treasure those memories until either death or Alzheimers takes them away.
Man, the Germs slam was gold 🤣
This video made my day🤟🏻
Socialists, their just Socialists, a fan base that sleeps in bunk beds in their grandparents basements because their parents hate them and want them out of their lives. Anarchist because they can't hold down a job, and can't define simple words like women. You can pretend to throw shade at the majority of this country, but in the end you're all just a bunch of frustrated Peter pans that aren't intelligent enough to navigate your own pathetic useless lives. I like DK not the message but the music, because I'm an adult and I'm able to separate the two, unlike every socialist anywhere. This is just more futile propaganda fire wood to help burn Marxist beliefs down to ash.
My old DKs albums are the best treatment for depression
They have a great live album. MUTINY ON THE BAY!! It's woth all those caps.
Post Hardcore ?
Pretty good but I gotta say it really hurts your credibility when you repeatedly get the titles of albums and songs wrong. Fresh fruit, not fresh fruits and you mispronounced Marin. Yes I know this is all just anal nitpicky shit but really, how hard is it to get those right? Especially when you literally put the title on the screen and yet still get it wrong. It takes ten seconds to double check that you got names and titles right; again, it's a credibility thing.
I turned 18 in 1980. DK's were my beacon, but Black Flag won the first tat challenge.
Good call on Convenience Or Death rating. That's where it ended
Kinky sex makes the world go around is so scary, it actually foretold the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Bedtime for democracy was a great album! Fleshdunce
Too bad jello is a sellout fake punk these days. Big pharma 2 party politricks pimpin sellout.
It's wild how I skipped past this until I seen that you had a furry pfp.
That's right the dead Kennedys saved a lot of people litrecy and music 🎵🎶 was rather dull and boring it was the new school related to the athletic club new wave 🌊
I first listened to them when i was 5 years old and i never looked back
What happened about the song too drunk to F K
I saw a lot of these bands back in the early 80's…Dead Kennedy's, Agent Orange, TSOL, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Surf Punks, and the band I saw that impressed me the most was Killing Joke.
Jello got the jab. Conformist.
if u werent a furry and just a free spirit id agree sorry
tha world is fucked.every niche should.die lets start anew
Yes!!!
Favorite band of all time by far
Jello works well with industrial metal, check out lard
But… Wasn't the band formed already? And Biafra saw their ad looking for vocalist? Hmmm
Back before the nauseating world of pop punk bands like Green Day and Blink 182. God bless the mighty Biafra and Co.
Dead Kennedys did save my life and my way of seeing the world
"no junk food just earthly goods. I ate weird berries in the woods. now im seeing colors, I'm getting higher, I think I'll start a …" oh man. smokey the bear is here. knock knocking at my front door.
DK pretty much picked up the baton dropped by the sex pistols and ran with it until they tripped before they got to the finish line
Don't call yourself a loser, you obviously are not one if you love DEAD KENNEDYS
DK's are unique, their music is creative and their lyrics are still relevant
chickenshit conformist is my punk manifesto. dont be a stale cartoon. probably why the melvins are my fav punk band.
You should do a video on jello's new band guantanmo bay school of medicine. It's not very punky and the songs are longer but they maintain the political themes and satire that personally, I love
You showed germs GI and said about how bad it sounds. Did you know that Joan Jett produced that and that album sounds amazing!
You forgot landlords on the list!!!
