THIS motherfucking beast drags the Dead Boys version out behind the fucking barn and neuters it. This is how the fucker should have been recorded in the first place. HAIL FUCKING BOBBY! HAIL FUCKING OVERKILL!
@ThazuaBlackarrow exactly. If I want to hear a cover liek the original, oh I dunno, I'll go listen to the original, but if someone covers it from a different genre I want THEIR take on it :P
Then you're one of the few who think that. Commonly known as 1 of the best speed/thrash-albums ever made with only superb songs and a singer with a great style of his own besides the fact that their live-shows are almost bloddy awesome.
I really like all the versions of this song, dead boys (probably my favorite), saves the day, rocket from the tomb, pearl jam, and overkill. They're all pretty good for different reasons. Btw if you are a pop punk hater don't listen to the saves the day version
@morciu58 ok, in my opinion, this sounds good. of course you won´t feel the same as me, but come on, many guys here like me love Overkill and you stand here and say: this is bad. sorry for offending you, but i felt the need of screaming (writing in the computer) at you
fuck it yeah this is plainly great!! Since moment 1 I heard it when OVERKILL put out their first lp, ages before I listened to the original DEAD BOYS song, and it still makes me tremble; amazing song dudes, plus Blitz's voice is out of this world
I don't need anyone Don't need no mom and dad Don't need no good advice Don't need no human race But I got some news for you I don't even need you, too I've got my time machine Got my metallic dream Sonic reducer, ain't no loser Got the sonic reducer Ain't no loser, no We go out on the street They don't know who I am I watch them from my room They're all just passing by But I'm not just anyone Yeah, I'm not just anyone I've got my time machine Got my electronic dream Sonic reducer, ain't no loser Got the sonic reducer Ain't no loser, no, no, no I'll be a pharaoh soon We'll form some kind of tomb Things will be different then The sun will rise again And I'll be two feet tall And I'll be does it all I've got my time machine Got my electronic dream Sonic reducer, ain't no loser Got the sonic reducer Ain't no loser Got the sonic reducer Sonic reducer Got the sonic reducer Sonic reducer, reducer
I love the original better as well, but this song is still great with great energy. Obviously if you don't like metal to begin with, you're not going to like it, so why even bother? I'm one of those lucky few bastards that can enjoy both punk and metal.
@ThazuaBlackarrow I've tried listening to punk, but most of it sucks, except of course for Misfits. I dont mind a bit of Hardcore Punk but I'd rather just listen to Crossover like SOD
@ThazuaBlackarrow Ok men, i know a little about the music i like. Thrash Metal is my favourite subgenre of Metal, and i know that it comes from many variations within the most important the NWOBHM and Punk. But i don´t like Punk as much as Thrash. Thrash has the influences and some similarietes with Punk, but IT´S NOT PUNK. It´s Thrash, different, if not, there wouldn´t be Thrash, it would be still Punk. And i don´t like Lmab Of God, but i don´t have to like Punk to like Thrash so
Props to working-class, New Jersey thrash metal: Overkill covered Dead Boys looong before it became hip for metal bands to claim punk credibility Their version of "Sonic Reducer" still slams and essentially negates the laughably sleepy effort at sonic reduction by Pearl Jam in the 90's.
What PJ cover? Playing it live is not a cover. Show me where PJ has covered any song for an album. Other than 1 song for a charity album and another for a soundtrack after being asked. They play cover songs live as respect. Not to sell music. Even if your not a fan of the band. You should respect that when you have bands like 5FDP and Disturbed that do it to cash in.
The best cover of sonic reducer ever.
I came to the same conclusion after I heard the first word.
After giving listen to the most of the covers out there this cover KILLS!
I love Dead Boys' version but this is so freaking enjoyable and mad, that it's way better
No.
I don't need anyone
Don't need no Mom and Dad
Don't need no pretty face
Don't need no human race
But I got news for you
I don't even need ya too
I've got my time machine
Got my metallic dream
Sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
N-n-n-n-n-no
We go out on the street
They don't know who I am
I watch them from my room
They're all just passin' by
But I'm not just anyone
Yeah, I'm not just anyone!
I've got my time machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
No!, no!, no!
I'll be a pharaoh soon
We'll form some kinda tomb
Things will be different then
The sun will rise again
And I'll be two feet tall
And I'll be does it all!
I've got my time machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer - Ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer - Sonic reducer
Got the sonic reducer - Sonic reducer
Reducer!
I think this cover is beast
I love both versions!!! But this really slaughters!!!
I grew up with 3 of them, Rats Bobby and DD.
that laugh is the best
The BEST cover of this song IMO
THIS motherfucking beast drags the Dead Boys version out behind the fucking barn and neuters it. This is how the fucker should have been recorded in the first place. HAIL FUCKING BOBBY! HAIL FUCKING OVERKILL!
Like the laughter and scream
This cover had a much better use of backing vocals.
Great tune. The orig can be heard in the Carlos miniseries and it's the perfect song for the scene!
Have enjoyed overkill since highschool 90, 91. Always loved them.
My favorite Overkill ever, so old school as hell, crazies album
One of the best covers of the Boys' killer tune :)
This is almost as cool as Celtic Frost covering Mexican Radio.
Kelly Goosecock going to look for that now!!
Sonic Reducer? More like Sonic INCREASER!!!! turn this shit up and feel the fire.
LOL.
Metal - PowerMetalPunk Rat Skates -era OVERKILL = untouchable
Great cover!
By far the best cover of all!!!
Good cover
@morciu58 This is a great singer
@ThazuaBlackarrow exactly.
If I want to hear a cover liek the original, oh I dunno, I'll go listen to the original, but if someone covers it from a different genre I want THEIR take on it :P
We need time machine and 11 condoms. Damn good cover, I love it.
HAHAHAHAHA! I love this laughing at the beginning! Best cover ever made, even better than Dead Boys.
It's good, but isn't better
This is why I named my car Sonic reducer
The best song!
name checks out.
Then you're one of the few who think that.
Commonly known as 1 of the best speed/thrash-albums ever made with only superb songs and a singer with a great style of his own besides the fact that their live-shows are almost bloddy awesome.
Pearl Jam's cover: Decent.
Dead Boys' original: Really good.
Overkill's cover: THE BEST!!
REE-DOOO-SIR....!!!
I really like all the versions of this song, dead boys (probably my favorite), saves the day, rocket from the tomb, pearl jam, and overkill. They're all pretty good for different reasons. Btw if you are a pop punk hater don't listen to the saves the day version
Check out the Vibrators version
Dead Boys is my favorite by far, rocket from the tombs is next, then this one. The rest seem pretty bad from what I’ve listened to of them.
dead boys - GREAT COVER! PUNX NEVER DIE
@morciu58 ok, in my opinion, this sounds good. of course you won´t feel the same as me, but come on, many guys here like me love Overkill and you stand here and say: this is bad. sorry for offending you, but i felt the need of screaming (writing in the computer) at you
i got news for you, I DON'T EVEN NEED YOU TOO!
good cover
DRUMS FROM HELL!!! Holly...
wow this rules
fuck it yeah this is plainly great!! Since moment 1 I heard it when OVERKILL put out their first lp, ages before I listened to the original DEAD BOYS song, and it still makes me tremble; amazing song dudes, plus Blitz's voice is out of this world
i still remember this from when it originally came out.........
Friend of mine has an original pressing of their debut EP! She bought it based only on the logo and the song titles. Very rare item!
Pretty damn good! I prefer the original, though. I used to go see the DBs every chance I got.
But I'm not just anyone. Yeah! I'm not just anyone!!!
I don't need anyone
Don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice
Don't need no human race
But I got some news for you
I don't even need you, too
I've got my time machine
Got my metallic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer
Ain't no loser, no
We go out on the street
They don't know who I am
I watch them from my room
They're all just passing by
But I'm not just anyone
Yeah, I'm not just anyone
I've got my time machine

Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got the sonic reducer
Ain't no loser, no, no, no
I'll be a pharaoh soon

Their logo it really looks like Maiden's or is just me? Fuckin love this song, at the first part sounds like a really kickass punk song!
ATT: MAHS
Just the "O". Thought's been in the back of my head too since I became a fan over 30 yrs ago.
Una letrasa!!!
overkill at LaMours Brooklyn3-7-87
😍
Oh I forgetsMarch 3rd 1987!GMP
@ffranzos How are they overrated?
We all know you knew that this is a cover. You also know who sings the original!
I love the original better as well, but this song is still great with great energy. Obviously if you don't like metal to begin with, you're not going to like it, so why even bother? I'm one of those lucky few bastards that can enjoy both punk and metal.
no u're right man! Tyheir logo's really similar
Holy shit, it does! xD
Fuck yeah! Saves the day made this song kick ass, but this is even better. OVER fuckin KILL!Don't need no human race.
thumbs up if your playing this song while playing sonic on your sega.
they overkilled this song
@dangeroftime because this song rules
his voice in this album is one of the best thrash metal voices i have ever heard!! hetfield sounds like a bunch of vocal crap compared to this...
@ThazuaBlackarrow I've tried listening to punk, but most of it sucks, except of course for Misfits. I dont mind a bit of Hardcore Punk but I'd rather just listen to Crossover like SOD
I thought it was a great song when I heard it over 20 years ago.
Prefered pearl jams cover really
Fuck yea
Good point... It's pretty similar!
ATT: MAHS
@cartman854 i disagree but wow, you were respectdul so you deserve 10x points. I prefer Thrash but good luck man. Keep Rock high.
Stiv Bators, the only one
I’ve heard better versions but al long as Cheetah got paid I’m good
@morciu58
so true : D
Dead Boys YL&S album is punk/
This is so much better than the Dead Boys version. Hail thrash!!!
Like to see you do better
Wow usually trash metal sucks but this sounds actually good. I like the oldschool vocals.
@ThazuaBlackarrow Ok men, i know a little about the music i like. Thrash Metal is my favourite subgenre of Metal, and i know that it comes from many variations within the most important the NWOBHM and Punk. But i don´t like Punk as much as Thrash.

sounds like Emmeth Brown from bttf lol ))
IMO stronger and more alive than original
krisiic1982 IMO nope
Punk and metal United. !
@whitetrashoutlaw glam metal is gay though.
NOPE!
@whitetrashoutlaw Talentless? Define "talent" for me.
Knightmares did best Sonic reducer cover
Truuuth! Knightmare rule!
WTF?
Sorry to say that.,...but the original is not stiv bators and dead boys!!!even if the performance was great!!! aint it fun!!!
Not quite as good as the original, but blows the Pearl Jam cover away.
obviously
What PJ cover? Playing it live is not a cover. Show me where PJ has covered any song for an album. Other than 1 song for a charity album and another for a soundtrack after being asked.

Eric Newell calm your tits boy
Prefer the punk original
sound production is good, but i don't like the vocal style.
Lord, those guitar solos are ghastly. :/
Thrash af
original is better, usual at least!
Couldn't agree more! It sounds like a bad Dio impersonator covering the Dead Boys. Ugh. And those backing vocals are beyond dopey.
ahahah i can't stop laughing!
seriously, what's wrong with the singer? he kinda ruined the song
I have to agree with you. It's lost its hard edge and gained a somewhat 'wanky' edge.
Anybody who likes this version or even thinks this is a legitimate cover shall burn in Hell!
Aurora2097 does it not sound enough like the original?
musically it's actually pretty neat... but the singer is awful.
this is horrible
Fkn cool cover, unexpected from a metal band..✌️
