Ross is one of the most underrated guitar players out there. These guys are incapable of writing a bad song. They are such an iconic part part of NYC and punk rock history. Hope they can tour again someday when people finally tire of the Coronacon Scamdemic and decide to live again.
@@bosstheross looking forward to it Ross…hope you guys can make it out to Left Coast sometime? Also, in the interview you alluded to Kempner not being part of the line up now? Are you able to reveal what’s going on with Top Ten?
I am recommending this song to my ESL students here in Budapest. This song is AWESOME. Irresistibly danceable too. wow! I too listened to it seven times in a row. I am sharing it with my music playing friends too. WOW! Inspired. so talented. So tight. I always appreciate the person who adds the lyrics to the comments. Maybe that is me this time?
This is the coolest thing I've seen since the start of this pan-damn-ic. Glad you're still out there rocking, keep it up boys. Let's rock our way back to sanity.
Come on, there's a changing in the weather Come on, the music is forever Come on, never say never Let's get the band back together! Get off the couch, dust off the gear Screw the kids, get the calendar clear We're gonna show 'em how to do it right We're gonna do a little rocking tonight So come on Come on, let's crank it to eleven Come on, we're breaking out the leather Come on, never say never Let's get the band back together We got a gig at the bar Where they still think we're rock-'n'-roll stars The drummer's drunk, the singer's bald And I can't even remember the chords Yeah yeah We'll have a good time, we'll do a few lines Yeah yeah yeah Forget the time that I nailed your wife Easy come easy go We got the magic and the little girls know We're senior citizens and we don't give a damn I am the leader Who's got a fever I'm the leader of a rock and roll band So come on
So cool!! The original version with the real singer was always best 😄🤘🏼...and so great to see the flyer I made (2nd one shown) for your 2nd (?) show at my junior high school-JHS 194- Whitestone Queens! Life’s so weird...👍🏻🤘🏼
One of my teacher friends from California opened my eyes up to see lyrics as modern day poems. Here's the poem: Come on, there’s a changin' in the weather. come on the music is forever. Come on never say never. Let's get the band back together. get off the couch, dust off the gear screw the kids, get the calendar clear. We’re gonna show 'em how to do it right We’re gonna do a little rockin' tonight C’mon, let’s crank it to eleven C'mon we’re diggin' out the leather Come on never say never. Let's get the band back together. We got a gig at the bar, where they still think that we’re rock and roll stars the drummer’s drunk, the singer’s bald and I can’t even remember the chords Yeah, Yeah we’ll have a good time, we’ll do a few lines - Yeah, Yeah Yeah forget the time that I nailed your wife C’mon Easy come easy go We got the magic and the little girls know We’re gonna close it with a big blues jam I am the leader, I am the leader, I am the leader of a rock and roll band so c’mon
G'D-it. C'mon man.... it's adNY not Andy ! "Go Girl Crazy" album is still in my Top Ten (Kempner) of all-time !!! Who's that BOY with a sammich in his hand ????????
Well there is a couple of big time Dictators fans who come from New Jersey. One runs a underground garage and the other is a boss of some sort. Maybe a benefit concert? Jeez the Court Tavern and Maxwells are gone. We gotta save rock n roll!
Ross Friedman I was thinking I’d all the places I’ve seen you guys that no longer exists. The Red Fox inn. Zappas. Cbgbs. Coney Island High. The Fast Lane. Irving Plaza. The Ritz. Club New York. Cbgb theater. The Paladium. I’m feelin friggin old!
@@daniel9487 there was definitely a fallout. I think it was about the fact Mantioba continued to use the Dictators (though with a 'NYC' added or something) name to play gigs. Shernoff resquested he stop...and it went on from there. HDM even did a podcast where he ran down every band member...so, yeah, that ship has sailed. But as this song attests--despite HDM being a total hoot and added some definite moments to the Dics catalogue--they don't really need him. I mean, the band formed without him...so they can easily continue without him.
Geriatrics trying to look cool in a rock band is a non-starter. Just embarrassing - better to remember and see bands in their prime. Nature pulls no punches.

@@rockinvida1960 Scott has been diagnosed with early dementia
@@bosstheross Very sorry to hear that Ross...thanks for letting me know...I will pray for Scott and his family....Dementia is an awful disease...🙏
Especially Cars & Girls- most epic 'taters song/ anything paying homage to the Beach Boys, soecust
Wow! This is fantastic! Great to hear some new Dictators music,and Albert Bouchard on drums to boot! Long Live Rock and Roll!
Al Bouchard on drums!!!! Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!
Can't remember the last time I listened to a song seven times in a row. Hook-studded and fun, fun, fun...home run, guys!
@@theiceman6941 Shernoff's songs got more hooks than a yard of velcro

Thanks Barbara!!!
I hear this song every week on "Little Steven's Underground Garage"......and I like it. Cheers!

Thanks Rick!!
AWESOME!! Welcome back! D.F.F.D!
Love it Guys!! Great to see Albert on the drums as well. Keepin it all in the NY Family!!
VERY very well done. Great song, rock on!
Ross always plays his best in Andy's songs.
Come on, there's a changing in the weather
Come on, the music is forever
Come on, never say never
Let's get the band back together!
Get off the couch, dust off the gear
Screw the kids, get the calendar clear
We're gonna show 'em how to do it right
We're gonna do a little rocking tonight
So come on
Come on, let's crank it to eleven
Come on, we're breaking out the leather
Come on, never say never
Let's get the band back together
We got a gig at the bar
Where they still think we're rock-'n'-roll stars
The drummer's drunk, the singer's bald
And I can't even remember the chords
Yeah yeah
We'll have a good time, we'll do a few lines
Yeah yeah yeah
Forget the time that I nailed your wife
Easy come easy go
We got the magic and the little girls know
We're senior citizens and we don't give a damn
I am the leader
Who's got a fever
I'm the leader of a rock and roll band
So come on
Hail Ross! love the sound of your pick dancing on the strings!
Dictators rise from the dead and record what would have been a bloody hit single when such things existed in the world
Loved this band since 77! Thank you for the new tunes guys!!!!!

Don imus was a Dictators fan?
I love it...I like everything this version of the Dictators has produced so far.
C'mon, let's put a tour(eventually)together!

Saw them open for Blue Oyster Cult years ago What a rocking show
Good to see Albert
Outstanding 😎‼️💕🎶🎼🎸😍
Yeah see you next month at the St. George theater!!
This is absolutely amazing. Ross, you need to get me tickets to see you in concert
RIP Top Ten 😢 This was one of his last recordings. Please release this 7" single.
Thank you Little Steven and Underground Garage!
Still rocking 🤘🏼
I need a new Dictators' album!
True punkrock legends!
Wow this song brought back some great memories
They're baaaaaack! Ross still has his chops, Andy sounds great and a bonus of Al Bouchard. What happened to Scott and Dick?
I'm thinkin Ross is a trumptard and Dick and Scott aren't
Life Affirming!!!
YES!
Great song... I'm so lucky to have seen the dictators here in Sydney so many years ago.. love them
COME ON!!! 🤗
"We'll have a good time, we'll do a few lines" in a lounge style!? Perfect! line (no pun)
This made my year. Pure fun. Hope when touring happens you make it up to the Bug Jar in Rochester. That would be a blast.
D.F.F.D!
Flippin excellent! Papy Punks 🖤 You guys sound great! x
Remember "Blood Brothers"
for straight up gritty rock that album is right near the top of the all time food chain.
Increíble!! Maravilloso!! The dictators, Ross the boss..
Energy is comin'back ! What's a bunch of sweaties for my young and teenage ears. Go,Adny go Ross is so great with tator's.
Brilliant, love it.
First God damn New York and now this ... beautiful ... a Dictators comeback is just we need these grim days
More Dictators RnR on the way !
Great job!! I’m in.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
OMG! Long Iive Rock N Roll! Covid gave us something useful. I still have my Dictator album

But where’s The Handsome one? Still, hearing them again brings goosebumps. PT L
Enorme!

This is awesome!!!

Somebody is playing organ. :-),
G'D-it. C'mon man.... it's adNY not Andy ! "Go Girl Crazy" album is still in my Top Ten (Kempner) of all-time !!!
Who's that BOY with a sammich in his hand ????????
Que buena banda poco valorada.
Filmed feet from my home. But honestly, without HD singing, this is just Taters that need some salt.
7" vinyl please
Yes indeed, this song needs and deserves to be released on 7" vinyl record, please
@@puphank all in good time great friends
@@bosstheross A year's gone. Can't wait for the new 'Tators LP and this single 7" with non-album b-side. DFFD !
Is Top 10 on the recording but not in the video?
Sadly Brother Scott cant be in the band 😔
Bad news! The New Jersey home of the Tators. The Brighton Bar has closed permanently. Don’t forget us boys! Always Asbury Park!
We know . We are all devastated . We loved Brighton Bar . Is there nothing that can be done to save it ? .

Why is Manitoba not in the band?
I don't know for sure, but I believe there may have been a falling out between Handsome Dick and the rest of the band

Most important line in the song.... "we're senior citizens who don't give a damn"!!... we will not stop making music, move along!
Why shouldn’t we play ? As for me I just keep getting better .
Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke!
LOL
