What?
[Eb] What?
[E] What?
Yo, yo!
[C] Lots of motherfuckers that get died, so I don't wanna hear no one [F] bitchin' cry [C] about
how hard or how tough life is [Bb] or what, that it [E] was easy to stop being a bitch!
[C] Motherfucker, you ain't been through shit to stop pissin' and mollin' and motherfuckin' deal with it!
Who wanna talk about hardcore [Eb] livin' in [E] ghettos, stealin' and eatin' black mother's meat?
[C] I'm so [G] cheap!
L-A-S-O-T [Eb]-E-R-Y-M-C-E-L-A [Db]-S-O-T!
[N] 80's hardcore was just starting over here.
In Europe, the Oye scene was starting to happen, so like these two movements,
well I mean, I'm sure they pretty much weren't [F] so much aware of what was going [Em] on in America,
cause, you know, they had [N] their own thing going on, but we were definitely aware of what was going on over there,
and a lot of that music was making its way over and was influencing hardcore.
I mean, bands like Iron Cross from D.C. were obviously, [E] had a lot of that influence,
Agnostic Front had a lot of that [N] influence, even some of the early Cro-Mag songs,
you know, just like the whole sing-along type of anthem, you know,
the big parts where [Db] everybody in the crowd joins in, that was [Eb] very much like a,
I'd say [F] kind of Oye [D] influence.
The stimulators toward Ireland, particularly when [E] we were in Northern [Eb] Ireland,
is where I met a lot of skinheads and got my head shaved,
and you know, they [E] got me my first pair of suspenders and started taking me out and all their wilding.
But over there, at least at that point in [Gbm] time, it wasn't so much like skins versus punks.
Back then, you [F] know, punks and skinheads would be the ones that got jumped.
Skinheads were definitely the thugs [G] on the scene, you know, but it wasn't like I say,
there wasn't this rift between punk rockers and skinheads, it was more like everybody [D] else.
You'd see big gangs of skinheads and stuff and they were pretty much just, you know, terrorizing, you know.
[B] I mean, we did some shows, we played with like the Saints from [Eb] Australia and the Outcasts from Belfast
and a bunch of bands, it was like big festivals over there.
[E] The first Belfast International Punk and New Wave Festival was called 1980.
And yeah, that was like the first big show like that I'd ever seen.
I'd never saw that many [Eb] punks and skinheads in one place at one time.
I was just kind of like dumbfounded.
I had, you know, never seen so many Mohawks and stuff like, and just wild, [D] like discharge looking punks, you know,
all the spikes and lots of skinheads and it was wild.
And I realized then that, you know, the scene that [Ab] we had in New York was just, you know,
was just a small part of a much bigger thing, like a worldwide thing.
And [F] I really started having visions of just like, you know, the possibilities were like endless, you know.
And like [N] I say, you know, the music over there was a lot more sing-along oriented, you know, English music in general.
It's more pub style.
It's like more like drink and singing along type of stuff.
And some of that influenced our music.
But hardcore in general was a lot faster and more aggressive.
Also a lot tighter.
I think that most of the British bands were just too drunk, you know.
Most of the boy bands were not really that good, you know.
I mean, great songs, great ideas, but, you know, I mean, besides the Cockney [Eb] Rejects who were great, you know,
then like older bands like Champ [N] 69, you know, Angelica Upstarts, da da da da da, all the classics, you know.
But we had the real shit, like, you know, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, you know,
and back to like The Germs and even shit like, you know, The Avengers and all that old US punk pre-hardcore stuff.
That was all great, great shit.
I thought we had really good stuff going on over here [Gb] back then.
They called it oi, we called it hardcore.
Punk rock was dead, but it wasn't dead.
It was just transforming, you know, and actually I think it got more intense.
It got probably bigger, you know.
It really became worldwide.
And Christ, you know, people still playing hardcore.
