Fear on SNL

Legendary LA punks Fear on Saturday Night Live, Halloween 1981. Apparently this was John Belushi's idea; he thought it might boost the shows sinking ratings. In the audience that night: members of the Cro-Mags, Negative Approach, and Ian MacKaye (that's him yelling, "New York Sucks!" at the 4 minute mark). SNL's producer's cut to commercial during "Let's Have A War," fearing they had a riot on their hands. They were right.

      punk (whiny) rock does suck as bad if not more then hannah montana and all those synthesized tween poppers, its boring and unoriginal and what all the little bitchy boy bands are doing cause it takes no talent just like synthesized tweeny pop

      dwhill05 2009-05-25T14:20:44Z says:

      I am the one who explained it steve, those who choose not to believe the obvious are living in denial but you are entitled to your own taste so if you enjoy talentless shit then more power to you!
      though most people grow out of this taste and learn to appreciate real music in adulthood

    • dwhill05
      dwhill05 2009-05-25T14:22:12Z says:

      yeah wanko, i have never been good at conforming, i'm wired to automatically go the opposite direction in the presence of peer pressure

      Seriously though with punk either you get it or you don't. Of course it isn't as technical as some other bands but sometimes thats the beauty of it.

    • dwhill05
      dwhill05 2009-05-25T15:19:27Z says:

      that is exactly how some rap songs can be enjoyable and also why my music tastes hinges on individual songs rather then groups or genres. but still, some genres (rap, country, punk)do produce mostly crap with little originality or artistic talent

    • dirtyrottensteve
      dirtyrottensteve 2009-05-25T15:19:47Z says:

      how do you explain the misfits to somebody that thinks skynrd means non-conformity?

      you are right dwhill, my friends beat me up and made me like the dead milkmen just so I could fit in. Douche.

      dwhill05 2009-05-25T15:25:18Z says:

      wanko is the one that equated peer pressure to music taste, not me.
      and since classic rock existed before I did then me developing a taste for it instead of the current music was non conforming. I have never like modern music, just a handful of songs each year, the rest is complete shit, the majority of current stuff i listen to never made it main stream

      liza´s had enoough of men
      she says she wont get burnt again
      she says they dont know how to fuck..
      her last bf the smuck
      passed to her a nice deasiease
      kept her passive on her knees
      till one day she took his car
      and drove it to the city.....

      liza had put down a few
      till she met this girl named lou
      who convinced her to gome with her
      she said my names louise
      now will you take your cloth of please
      i wanna take you to the moon and back
      so get on your back..

      with a flick of her tounge
      she made her scream, she made her laugh, she made her dance
      she was happy for the first time.... and you know she wanted more

      now with her legs spread wider
      she needed to have louise inside her
      she said iill never forget the first time you kissed me
      now i want you to fist me!
      louise didnt need a second invitation... she knew just what to do..yeah she knew just what to do...

      liza had cum a few times before
      but shed never even seen the door
      into the world of pleasures of the flesh
      she felt just like 16
      that life before now was a dream
      or even a nighmare thats over and done...
      just like healing rays
      shining from the sun

      I really shouldn't say much about your taste of music though cause I like some really weird stuff too along with 'normal' stuff, like I have fallen in love with M.I.A. recently. I just love her bad ass attitude and the electro rap/techno sound of her music which can easily be argued as anti-music. I still love it though

      there is an occasional good skit, but my problem is they try and drag the skits on too long... they go from being mildly amusing to just repetitive.. if they had more skits and shorter skits most of them would probably be worth watching..

    You all can fuck off and learn some perspective. In 1981 topping the charts were Hall and Oats, Rick Springfield, Olivia Newton-John, and Kool and the Gang. Fear was whatever corporate "I'm hardcore!" crap you listen to today, but 20 years their senior. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's shit, maybe you not getting it only illustrates a larger lack of understanding in general. Regardless, you don't have to get anything to be able to understand that, while maybe not your cup of tea, Fear was an important band in its day. So, again, fuck off, and you're welcome.
