So the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and I was lucky enough to be in high school and college exactly between the years of 1985-1995 to witness birth and explosion of goth, alternative, rock, grunge, BritPop, Madchester, shoegaze, power pop and indie classics like this gem.
Smell of fall, stale beer, cigarette smoke, bad lighting , basement party’s, laughing , not worrying about tomorrow, everything was going to be ok.. i am there now and don’t want to come back.
So I was a junior in high school and my friend had an old 70s sports car. (I want to say Camero but I’m not sure). She Introduced me to them. It changed my life :)
MTV 120 minutes was a fabulous programme. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s with all the quality music that was around was amazing, unfortunately stock Aitken and Waterman then seemed to dominate the end of the 80s. ☹️ MTV 120 mins was like a breath of fresh air. Loved it. 🤗
I used to go to work tired every Monday when it aired! So great... I was a college DJ at this time so I had my ears on new tunes all the time. It was incredible and I'm lucky to have been part of that.
Almost 50 and i discovered it a couple of years ago (in Spain they were under-underground). It's great rock'n'roll from the early nineties, those were the days.
Finally some decent comments and I was playing Drums I’n nightclubs before most of you were born because I’m pushing 60 years old and I have seen more bands than you could mention”! Except for most of your favorite entertainer “! FK”G JUSTIN BEIBER”! Played a thousand times better than him and I don” even make enough for food”!
very true, they always seemed second fiddle to mega city four senseless things wonder stuff etc at the,time to me. but this sounds great still. saw them live once and they were really good.
So agree! Saw these dudes three times in Chicago when I was in college. Loved every second of it and I'm still looking for one of my Chuck Taylor's that fell of when I got body tossed!! Their lyrics were spectacular. Capital Letters my all time fav!!
This was my early 90s. Shorts, boots, L/S t-shirts, long hair. This song and band bring back so many memories of my teens. What a time to be alive. Anyone taking the time to watch this video - god bless you. You're one of the good ones 👍🏼
Still remember walking down South Street in Philadelphia the day after Ned's first came to town and seeing all the happy clubbers walking around in their Ned's shirts that said "LOUD AS FUCK" on the back.
I had the biggest crush on my math tutor back in the 9th grade. she was like 19, maybe 21... my mom being a teacher at UTEP met her through one of her classes, and asked if she could by chance help me along with algebra. I immediately liked her, and thought she was not only beautiful.. but cool!!! i loved her fashion, I loved her hair, I loved the way she looked... her attitude. she was just cool. I'll never forget having some kind of "older age" chat with her on one evening. I guess she was going through a bad break up... so on that particular early evening, she trusted me and went unusually deep with me about concepts of trust, honesty and all things genuine... I'll also never forget, that she said "I'm only telling you these things so you don't treat other women this way!!!" I was 13... I'm not sure how I mustered the balls to ask her that night, but I asked her "well who's your ideal man?" she immediately said, "the thing every girl asks for... but honestly at this point? someone who just loves Ned's Atomic Dustbin as much as I do." granted, this was before the advent of youtube and spotify... they obviously never played these guys over the radio, so for the longest time I always wondered what they sounded like. I'd eventually find out like my junior and senior year in high school when they played this song on 120 minutes (MTV). I've been of a HUGE fan of theirs ever sense. there was another instance where she asked me why I didn't have a girlfriend.... I remember I got so beat red and shy, I almost flopped under the desk where we were studying... she gave me the whole song and dance about, "well girls are stupid... I would've been flirting with you nonstop." yes, these are the memories that get triggered with this song... I'm 42 now, divorced and working to pay off my mortgage... and those memories are still there... NAD wrote a song that essentially captured the essence of my math tutor, and to a T... she was cool... beautiful, charming, crazy smart, funny, beautiful... and again, just straight up cool. Ms. Lynn (or 'just lynn'), wherever you are... I had the biggest crush on you... like, ever... thank you for introducing me to who'd later become one of my favorite bands of all time. it's both a comment that reflects on how pathetic I am, how beautiful ms. lynn remains in my memory and the music that STILL defines my teen years.
My friends all listened to rap or hip hop music. I listened to Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Faith No More, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Ugly Kid Joe. Such great bands! I wish this type of music was still around!
Saw that tour also! Durham, NC, freshman year of college, borrowed a friend's car and we drove over from Greensboro. I bought a shirt that said "if you didn't see NED'S ATOMIC DUSTBIN then you fked up"
Man… what happened to music? The 90’s was by far the best time for Music. So many bands, so Much creative music. A time when rock was king and there were no boundaries. Radio was constantly searching for something new and different, the result, a massive collection of music from all genres. Creative, raw, inventive, pure energy. What a time to be alive!
Money. As usual. When you only care about turning a profit you creatively stifle the medium. That's why everything sounds the same now. Because it's only made to make money and not for the art of it.
One of the biggest problems is Apple Music / Spotify: They keep 99% (literally 99%) of an albums / songs price, the artist gets 1% of sales. - Most ppl listen to / buy tunes on those platforms = So SMALLER unique bands / artists cannot survive financially there anymore. - Frankly, it's Anti-Art / Anti-Music corporate theft, that leaves the young with business-vetted music only.....Not the fault of the youth. (and maybe why there's been no real, new cultural youth movement since the last wave of 'em in the late 1980s/ 1990s - Where before there was one about every ten years or so, since WWII >>> 2000)
I remember when I was young jumping around my living room like a idiot as soon as the chorus would explode. Such a good memory and youthful innocence...this is the first time in close to 30 years that I’ve heard this song. This brought that back like a time machine. Glad I found this again...
I don't know how, living in the underdeveloped third world, this album came to me at the right time. It helped me to maintain a distinct identity from what the world had predestined for me. Among many, too many, my favorite band of any time and place. I hope you are well.
Late-night skate parties at the park with Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Bad Religion, Minor Threat, and so many other great bands blasting on the boombox. We were high on life and lucky to be teenagers in the '90s. To all you late-life GenXers out there, may the memories of stolen Mad Dog 2020, Zimas, dad's cheap beer, and your older brother's hidden stash of weed bring a warm smile to your face as this song plays.
I bought this album in the early 90s. It came with a free shirt that wrote "God Fodder" three or four times on it. I got bullied for wearing it. Not sorry I did. Love these guys.
K I'll be the 1000th comment. Played the shit out of this CD. The whole album kicks ass. Before grunge hit, I was listening to Ned's , Jesus and Mary Chain , Stone Roses , Charlatans UK etc... Great time to be Alive!!
I noticed that it looked and sounded like they had two BASSES. Since it was a 5 man group that meant they only had 1 guitar but 2 basses. That’s so cool. I knew something sounded unique.
I'm 60 and have been a rock fan for almost half a century, and had never heard of such a thing. This band was just a name to me, but I recently discovered this song. Kudos to Ned's for doing something different in rock.
Tengo 51, y me siento privilegiado por haber escuchado en mi juventud en mi patria, Honduras, a los increíbles Neds.. esta música desafortunadamente no es popular en mi país
I was around 30 back in the day and probably never heard this. Just discovered it recently via satellite radio. A wonderful combination of frantic post-punk(?) and somewhat beautiful vocals and meaningful lyrics. I can see why this has stood the test of time for people who liked it back then.
I find myself today, Early May of 2020...im cranking this shit at 7:16 am ,San Diego ,Ca. with that old 90's feel I got hearing this music back then. I spent SO many hours making mix cassette tapes for friends,potential ex girl friends. Ned's was on most of those early 90's tapes, pre-burnable compact disc and mp3 players, ya know...? I'm 48 as of May 1 and it's been a while since I've had this feeling of 'hope/energy through music". Feels good. Pass this shit on guys. The world is at a fucked spot right now..is it fragile? No. The people are. Remind some fuckers out there that you give a shit and so should they. I love you people.
Covid-IV (as in 4). So you had Covid in 2004? However, you are 300 years old. You wrote this 11 months ago. So you are roughly 301 years old now, which means you were born in 1720, and 3Cs of world-wide music, NAD is a highlight?
Fucking Cyborg Fauci keeps trying to lock us away. He says it's both analog and digital and carbon-based organisms can get it too. The government has eliminated all the pets because they were supposedly carriers and we are taxed 90% to keep the virus and climate change at bay.
@StephenMcDowall If I remember, the two bass players harmonized with each other: one played the low end parts, and the other played higher up on the neck. It was pretty unique.
I honestly don't think there is a sound, visual style, or clothing style that embodies what 90s "Alternative" was like better than this video. Neds might not have been the biggest band, but you could show this to anybody who didn't live through that era and they'd get the exact vibe of it. Grunge was its own self-contained thing for Seattle bands, but globally, THIS is exactly what I picture whenever someone talks about Alternative rock.
This video was always a banger to go with this song. I thought it was gonna be a big hit when I first heard in in summer 92 on MTV. They played it a few times over a few weeks and that was that. But I thought it was gonna be a big hit.
GOD DAMN THIS SONG brings me back! Going down to South Street to Tower records to buy this tape. I remember it came with a free T-shirt if you bought it at Tower Records. What a great time to be 19!
I randomly remembered this song, which I have not heard since high school in the very early 90s! It still sounds amazing, and it brought back a lot of memories of hanging out in my room that was lit by a blue lightbulb, the air smokey with incense and clove cigarettes, jamming this TAPE while writing bad poetry. Those were the days.😢
I know I sound like an old guy, but I went to the MTV 120min tour in the early 90s in Philly with my buddy Will...been hooked on Ned's ever since that night. That show in Philly was Live, Ned's Atomic Dustin, PIL, Big Audio Dynamite, and Blind Melon. I remember getting home so late that I literally slept in my new God Fodder longsleeve for like 2 hours and went right to home room. hahaha.
Aaaaand for the last 5 minutes I was jumping around like the teenage idiot I used to be, my joints didn’t hurt and all I was thinking about was pogoing my butt off in the pit. Behold the awesome power of music that moves you, brought to you by the Neds 👏🏻
Bought this cassette in an Army PX back in 91, not knowing what the music sounded like, just based off the album cover. When this song, the first on the album, started five seconds later I was a fan. Not lot of bands have done this. Edit- typed while listening to Kill your Television, then GCG came on. 🤷♂️
Lets see if you top this one..i am from México back in the summer of 1991 walking on Dutch Harbor in Alaska i found this tape on the cabín of a fishing boat where i Would eventually work..and from then on this is one of my favorite bands and songs from all time..
I had never heard of these guys until I joined the Army. My roommate in the barracks had this CD and wore it out. I didn’t like them at first, because my friends back home and I were into metal and hard rock…but it really grew on me and within months, my entire outlook on music changed.
one of my first "adult" concerts was jesus jones and neds in Toronto in the early 90's I think it was 91. I hadn't even heard of neds. that show was one of the best and most energetic I have ever been to even to this day, and I still have the CD I bought on the way out.
This is pretty much my favorite song of all time since I really discovered music! I lived in the Detroit area so we got radio music from Windsor, Canada (89X FM) This song would haunt me as a child. I would fall asleep with the radio on and wake up at the peak of this song in a total cold sweat. I think lyrically it's one of the most powerful songs ever made and I think musically it's adequate. Possibly number one on my desert-island tracks. 💚💚💚💚💚 I'm giving it five out of five green cells! Were psychedelics involved in the creation because I don't think humans are capable of making something this profound on their own.
Who’s still listening to this in 2024? If you are then your taste in music is awesome!!!
Right here!!!! I’m 44, just bought it on ITunes. Love this song!!! My nieces are 4 and 5 and I’m playing it for them right now ♥️
47 here ! still good to go !
Listen to this like 2x a year since released…I’ll be 51 soon and this shit still fires me up
Back atcha in my 60s was there when all happen 80s 90s
I am…
My high school years filled with with good music and skateboarding, didnt have no cell phones,life was awesome.
I learned about NAD from a German band that covered only NAD. The world was weirder without esthetic algorithms
So the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and I was lucky enough to be in high school and college exactly between the years of 1985-1995 to witness birth and explosion of goth, alternative, rock, grunge, BritPop, Madchester, shoegaze, power pop and indie classics like this gem.
kinda wish I was also born from this era! I don't enjoy listening to what they define as "music" nowadays
Me too! Cheers mate!! Best times to be young!
Now u have today s music gems
What is "shoegaze?"
great times bro
I named my company after this song 18 years ago. Greycell Green Pty Ltd. That is how much this tune means to me.
It's vital ain't it??
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of work do you do? If I'm buyin', I'm going with you, based on taste alone.
Wow
And for that sir, you are f--kin Awesome !!
Haha seeing this reply again (which is awesome btw) made me realiZe I just watched this video yesterday. I’ve got a bit of a problem!
I was workshopping a funny comment on this vid and then I read this, If I ever need whatever the hell it is you sell, you'll be my first choice.
53 years old at my last birthday and still remember the excitement I felt when I heard this for the first time. Still love it..love it...love it!
49 here and I still get excited cranking this jam up to 11
57 and I'm rocking to it RIGHT NOW!!!
50. All a blur from 88 to 93. There was a rave, gig or party every night. It's like hearing them for the first time
Stay gold, Pony boy.
46 and I still think this is one of the best songs that I have ever heard!
53 and sounds as good as when I was 19!
Smell of fall, stale beer, cigarette smoke, bad lighting , basement party’s, laughing , not worrying about tomorrow, everything was going to be ok.. i am there now and don’t want to come back.
Grab a stout and watch 'Singles'.
Your description took me back as well. Thanks
Yes!!!!
Big shout out to everyone listening in 2020! They don't make them like this anymore.
No, they don’t. Such a fantastic song. I miss my childhood.
Shouting right back atcha from 2021 awesome track 👌
Literally forgot how great these guys were, miss this early 90s sound so much !
2021🤟😘❤️
So I was a junior in high school and my friend had an old 70s sports car. (I want to say Camero but I’m not sure). She Introduced me to them. It changed my life :)
When MTV was good and 120 minutes had me on the edge of my seat.
Not to mention some Liquid Television and The Young Ones
@@peterpierfederici2477 yes!! I just found my Aeon Flux artbook.
MTV 120 minutes was a fabulous programme. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s with all the quality music that was around was amazing, unfortunately stock Aitken and Waterman then seemed to dominate the end of the 80s. ☹️
MTV 120 mins was like a breath of fresh air. Loved it. 🤗
I love this thread so much.
I used to go to work tired every Monday when it aired! So great... I was a college DJ at this time so I had my ears on new tunes all the time. It was incredible and I'm lucky to have been part of that.
It's 2024. I am now 50 years old, and this song still is and always will be relevant in my life. I absolutely love this song.
all the old wolverhampton, stourbridge , wordsley stuff.
me too! have you read the factual significance of the meaning of the song? Google it.
Almost 50 and i discovered it a couple of years ago (in Spain they were under-underground). It's great rock'n'roll from the early nineties, those were the days.
My dad found this vinyl in a charity shop and gave it to me because he loved these as a teen, loved them ever since. Super underrated band
that is so cool. such a treasure
You've got a good dad! 80's and 90's were pretty awesome to grow up in I must say.
Its not a charity shop son
Awesome story, I'm going to this song to my 18 yr old kiddo, I think he'll like it.
Your dad is rad
I saw these guys in concert and they freaking rocked Ned’s atomic dustbin. You guys are awesome.
This has aged exceptionally well
Finally some decent comments and I was playing Drums I’n nightclubs before most of you were born because I’m pushing 60 years old and I have seen more bands than you could mention”! Except for most of your favorite entertainer “! FK”G JUSTIN BEIBER”! Played a thousand times better than him and I don” even make enough for food”!
very true, they always seemed second fiddle to mega city four senseless things wonder stuff etc at the,time to me. but this sounds great still. saw them live once and they were really good.
Yes it has
God Fodder has been played at least once a month in my life since the age of 16. I am now 51. Long live Ned's.
I'm 44 now and still enjoy listening to Neds one of the 90's under rated band
59 here
I can so relate my friend
@@drk321 63years old here, Never heard of these guys before and then I seen them on MTV,, and I was hooked ,, one of my top 10 favorite bands ever! 🤗
So agree! Saw these dudes three times in Chicago when I was in college. Loved every second of it and I'm still looking for one of my Chuck Taylor's that fell of when I got body tossed!! Their lyrics were spectacular. Capital Letters my all time fav!!
Exactly!

Yeah, Thats me described as well - Great times!
1991 when I first this barely getting into this genre new wave Dr Martin's Levi's smiths shirt bomber jacket..
AMEN
Well put! I'm from Jersey so back then the radio station to listen to was WHGT FM 106.3! They played this tune all the time!
Still remember walking down South Street in Philadelphia the day after Ned's first came to town and seeing all the happy clubbers walking around in their Ned's shirts that said "LOUD AS FUCK" on the back.
I remember skating to this. This was a life changing tune for me.
M.R Carter Rick Howard in Plan B 👍🏻
@@briansumner6801 Are you the pro skater Brian Sumner?
Same here. I think it was a mandatory edition to any skate playlist.
Bit shit and back up. I might have been eating the same concert. Desire? 😁
Plan-B
I’m 735 years old and still listening!
Not The Generation Huh
Nice
That point when the candles start to outweigh the cake on yr birthdays '@___@'
735 yrs old? So you remember when the New York Giants still played in New York?
The memories of 1992 and sweet summer nights just came flooding over me...
Damn the memories
I had it on vinyl already
Yup! Bro , simply magical.
54 years young and still feeling this!

Everyone should own a copy of the 25 Year old classic Godfodder in their record collection
What's a record collection?
You both get a like 8)
that thing u have in your device that has a bunch of album tumbnails hahahah
I got a copy of tape
My friends all listened to rap or hip hop music. I listened to Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Faith No More, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Ugly Kid Joe. Such great bands! I wish this type of music was still around!
Rick Howard plan b questionable skate video part . Legendary soundtrack choice brought me here .
Just a REALLY REALLY good album. And song!
Saw them open for Jesus Jones. Nirvana played the next night. Only 3 of us knew who they were then. The next month, EVERYONE did.
Saw that tour also! Durham, NC, freshman year of college, borrowed a friend's car and we drove over from Greensboro. I bought a shirt that said "if you didn't see NED'S ATOMIC DUSTBIN then you fked up"
Also "Keeping up with Joneses" t-shirt UK
Man… what happened to music? The 90’s was by far the best time for
Music. So many bands, so
Much creative music. A time when
rock was king and there were no boundaries. Radio was constantly searching for something new and different, the result, a massive collection of music from all genres. Creative, raw, inventive, pure energy. What a time to be alive!

My fav still to this day. Makes my arm hairs stand straight up
Every band needs two bassists. Signed ~ a bassist.
Check out Hugo Largo if you don't know. Signed: GabbaGabba One of Us
As someone who loves bass, I approve of this... my dream bass band would be Les Claypool and Matt freeman
My ex is a bassist and I will never lose love for them. Keep driving those beats!
2024.....I'm 62 and still listening to Ned's saw them at Roseland NYC sometime in the 90s I was the oldest dude there lol
I remember when I was young jumping around my living room like a idiot as soon as the chorus would explode. Such a good memory and youthful innocence...this is the first time in close to 30 years that I’ve heard this song. This brought that back like a time machine. Glad I found this again...
Same, all of that!
Lovely. Let's do it again! DM me and tell me when to press play.
something's really wrong in the world when you notice this song has only 20K views on youtube
+Risk Romer I agree
Excellent comment
The whole god fooder album deserves millions of views
Welcome to a small but incredibly well informed group of fannytastic music lovers.
Great tune.. Great band.. Win Win :)
In my opinion this is the most under rated song (and band) in history of rock and roll. I don´t understand why....And John just sings.....
This song gives me goose bumps on my schlongerdukken.
I was and still am into PUNK ROCK in all of it's many alternatives and grunge side noises....
Nothing is or will even be like Ned’s. Their sound is so original. Genius.
I don't know how, living in the underdeveloped third world, this album came to me at the right time. It helped me to maintain a distinct identity from what the world had predestined for me. Among many, too many, my favorite band of any time and place. I hope you are well.

I discovered this band on the old “120 minutes” show (back when MTV actually played rock music).
I got it on cassette. Great song, off a great album!
SAME EXACTLY !! 120 MINUTES
120 Minutes saved my life!
I remember it like it was yesterday, seeing this on 120 minutes changed my life forever. Thanks for the comment!
The drumming for this song is amazing
K I'll be the 1000th comment. Played the shit out of this CD. The whole album kicks ass. Before grunge hit, I was listening to Ned's , Jesus and Mary Chain , Stone Roses , Charlatans UK etc...

Glad someone picks up on this
When the guitar kicks in at 3:12 😊
Tengo 51, y me siento privilegiado por haber escuchado en mi juventud en mi patria, Honduras, a los increíbles Neds.. esta música desafortunadamente no es popular en mi país

me too...turned 47 tuesday
Same!
I’m turning 50 and Ned’s are still one of my favourite bands. I learned the play the drums from God Fodder, Dan’s the man!
This song makes me drive very fast.
"drive very fast"? LOL. I also recall The Cure in "Mint Car."🛣🛤🏎🚑🚒🚓
1991 was a good year...
OH yes, N.E. Thing's Magic Eye stereograms!!! And HYPERCOLOR heat sensitivre T-shirts!!
1991 was a mixed music year
man, you said it
Graduated high school so yes
I'm 51 y/o, Cranking this song in 2021! Such a great song, such a great band - TOTALLY underrated. NED'S FOREVER!
Almost 65 years Old , and have it on my gym work out playlist in 2022 🤗
2022 👍
I can’t think of another band with 2 bass players.
Neds, love it when this appears on my playlist, reminds me of teenage drinking, weekends in the parks and parties around my home town, let's go
63 going on 23 and still loving 'em!
I find myself today, Early May of 2020...im cranking this shit at 7:16 am ,San Diego ,Ca. with that old 90's feel I got hearing this music back then. I spent SO many hours making mix cassette tapes for friends,potential ex girl friends. Ned's was on most of those early 90's tapes, pre-burnable compact disc and mp3 players, ya know...? I'm 48 as of May 1 and it's been a while since I've had this feeling of 'hope/energy through music". Feels good. Pass this shit on guys. The world is at a fucked spot right now..is it fragile? No. The people are. Remind some fuckers out there that you give a shit and so should they. I love you people.
Good to hear....crank it
Totally agree, 100%! Cranking this in 2021, still better than 97% of the stuff out there. NED'S FOREVER!
There would have been no Smashing Pumpkins, or "grunge" at all, without Ned's. These guys and Faith No More paved the way.
Criminally underrated
I’m 300 years old and this song still holds up well especially during this new Coronavirus IV Pandemic
Covid-IV (as in 4). So you had Covid in 2004? However, you are 300 years old. You wrote this 11 months ago. So you are roughly 301 years old now, which means you were born in 1720, and 3Cs of world-wide music, NAD is a highlight?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fucking Cyborg Fauci keeps trying to lock us away. He says it's both analog and digital and carbon-based organisms can get it too. The government has eliminated all the pets because they were supposedly carriers and we are taxed 90% to keep the virus and climate change at bay.
I’m 46 and I remember listening to this over and over and over!! Great band!!
55 and still listening.
some of the best concerts I've been to
Roseland ballroom EN ER GEE :) :D
I'm FKN proud to be GenX!
Don’t make them like this anymore what a tune and lyrics this and happy
I don’t even understand half the lyrics and this is still one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever heard! College days…take me back.
...so memory serves and I was doing high school homework while this was blasting in the back...
in the mid 90's I had a crush on this girl and she listened to this band all the time so I listened to it because of her and it was amazing
Loved these guys in high school. Their 2 bass, 1 guitar setup was pretty unique.
My band In college in the 90s also had 2 bass 1 guitar. You can get sweet full sound with it.
@StephenMcDowall If I remember, the two bass players harmonized with each other: one played the low end parts, and the other played higher up on the neck. It was pretty unique.
Got this record when it came out, and still love it at 50 something. LOL.
Can't believe they didnt reach higher levels of success
this is why i love skateboard videos, you can find very cool bands like this
Plan B
@@truthdevoured7996 411
PLAN B!!
That's questionable.
Excellent.. High school..No more music like this..I'm 48
me too mate, good times
This will always be visionary
This song always makes me go apeshit in the best possible way. The joy this song gives me cannot be contained.
I honestly don't think there is a sound, visual style, or clothing style that embodies what 90s "Alternative" was like better than this video. Neds might not have been the biggest band, but you could show this to anybody who didn't live through that era and they'd get the exact vibe of it. Grunge was its own self-contained thing for Seattle bands, but globally, THIS is exactly what I picture whenever someone talks about Alternative rock.
This video was always a banger to go with this song. I thought it was gonna be a big hit when I first heard in in summer 92 on MTV. They played it a few times over a few weeks and that was that. But I thought it was gonna be a big hit.
This was and still is my favorite song of 1991. 🤘
Thank you!
90s was the best enough said 💯
45 now...15 when this dropped. Still Rox!
Thumbs up for two bassists!!!
GOD DAMN THIS SONG brings me back! Going down to South Street to Tower records to buy this tape. I remember it came with a free T-shirt if you bought it at Tower Records. What a great time to be 19!
I lived down in South St through my teen years…goodtimes!
I randomly remembered this song, which I have not heard since high school in the very early 90s! It still sounds amazing, and it brought back a lot of memories of hanging out in my room that was lit by a blue lightbulb, the air smokey with incense and clove cigarettes, jamming this TAPE while writing bad poetry. Those were the days.😢
This is a masterpiece - I loved the 80's, but even more so the 90's
I know I sound like an old guy, but I went to the MTV 120min tour in the early 90s in Philly with my buddy Will...been hooked on Ned's ever since that night. That show in Philly was Live, Ned's Atomic Dustin, PIL, Big Audio Dynamite, and Blind Melon. I remember getting home so late that I literally slept in my new God Fodder longsleeve for like 2 hours and went right to home room. hahaha.
I know the 70s gave us some great music but NOTHING beats the 90s an incredible era of music.
70s helped shape the 90s. I personally prefer 90s all the way.
As a musician I agree.
Aaaaand for the last 5 minutes I was jumping around like the teenage idiot I used to be, my joints didn’t hurt and all I was thinking about was pogoing my butt off in the pit. Behold the awesome power of music that moves you, brought to you by the Neds 👏🏻
If there's a heaven, I'm moshing it out with all my friends with zero pain in my old man joints!
what a legacy Stourbridge left us.Neds,PWEI,Stuffies.Luckily saw all three in their prime when stage diving was allowed!
was fortunate to be lectured at college by members of both. although i didn't finish my course it was a pleasure to be taught by them.
Happy to say my band opened for Neds and the Wonderstuff on seperate tours in Melbourne Australia. Fuckin great fun bands.
Saw them at Club Iguana in Tijuana back in the day. What a great show.
HELL YEAH!
Headbangers ball then 120 minutes, holy cow.
Sunday night if my memory serves me right. Monday morning alarms always sucked.
Bought this cassette in an Army PX back in 91, not knowing what the music sounded like, just based off the album cover. When this song, the first on the album, started five seconds later I was a fan. Not lot of bands have done this.
Edit- typed while listening to Kill your Television, then GCG came on. 🤷♂️
Lets see if you top this one..i am from México back in the summer of 1991 walking on Dutch Harbor in Alaska i found this tape on the cabín of a fishing boat where i Would eventually work..and from then on this is one of my favorite bands and songs from all time..
This comment is literally the best I’ve seen in YEARS
I had never heard of these guys until I joined the Army. My roommate in the barracks had this CD and wore it out. I didn’t like them at first, because my friends back home and I were into metal and hard rock…but it really grew on me and within months, my entire outlook on music changed.
one of my first "adult" concerts was jesus jones and neds in Toronto in the early 90's I think it was 91. I hadn't even heard of neds. that show was one of the best and most energetic I have ever been to even to this day, and I still have the CD I bought on the way out.
Best song ever
Happy 30th anniversary to one of my favorite albums of the 90's.
Brings me back to freshman year.....watching Plan B questionable and skateboarding with the homies...miss those days
First two CD’s I bought: Ned’s-Kill Your Television and NIN-Pretty Hate Machine. Some of my favorites many years later.
ha, Kill Your Television. I have to listen to that now!
Wow..2 heavyweights now.
Great taste!
Happened to stumble upon this vinyl EP all over in Holland. I've been loving this band ever since.
This is pretty much my favorite song of all time since I really discovered music! I lived in the Detroit area so we got radio music from Windsor, Canada (89X FM) This song would haunt me as a child. I would fall asleep with the radio on and wake up at the peak of this song in a total cold sweat. I think lyrically it's one of the most powerful songs ever made and I think musically it's adequate. Possibly number one on my desert-island tracks. 💚💚💚💚💚 I'm giving it five out of five green cells! Were psychedelics involved in the creation because I don't think humans are capable of making something this profound on their own.
I could pick up that station in NÉ Ohio… first place I heard the Ramones. Also Ned’s was one of my first CD purchases
Im 45 now so this made me cry happy. Thank you for the memories
