a Japanese hardcore punk band "Anti Feminism" brought a pornstar into their stage and perform a sex act, so yeah... Actual Sex (and their vocalist like to smash his body with lightbulb, so Actual Clashes too; not sure about Pistols since they have a very strict gun law there)
same with the metal scene; Metal bands : Machine-head, Black Sabbath, Pantera , Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Slayer, Anthrax, Sodom Japanese Underground metal : Real Machines, Real Sabbath rituals, real panthers, Real suicidial knots, Real cannibals, real corpses, real Mayhem , real slaying, real STDs and real sodomy 💀💀 I think it's the same with the Rap scene
I've been to over 3000 gigs. I've been crushed, cut, bashed, stomped on, head-butted, electrocuted, hit with all manner of objects both accidental and deliberate, fallen over, been pushed over, had my hair pulled out, broken a few bones, and even been carted off in an ambulance once. All of those things happened at completely different times at different shows. I could have saved a lot of trouble by just going to a Hanatarash gig and experienced all of it in one night. Imagine being chased around by an excavator whilst dodging sheets of glass being thrown at you, and then the building you're in gets demolished and falls down around you, but not before the molotov cocktails come out. Man, I thought my stories were good. I'm just a hopeless rookie compared to these guys.
Did you ever go to one where one of the band went poo?, sadly I missed Frank Zappa, Captain Sensible & Iggy have all done it, always thought that was a rock n roll milestone of sorts...
@@gleeart I saw a band once where the female drummer stood up on the stool, pulled her pants down and pissed all over the drum kit. It went on for quite a while too, the poor girl must have been busting, lol. Seen a couple of dudes whip it out and take a piss on stage, one of 'em was hung like a horse, I thought it was fake until he started pissing and waving it around. Also saw a front man shove his fingers down his throat and puked all over the audience. It was lime green - it looked like he'd been drinking glowsticks. The usual compliment of tits and bums of course. Probably the best known would be Zia McCabe from the Dandy Warhols, she played half the show topless. That was a really good show actually, they played really tight that night. Never seen anyone drop a turd. I can't say I'm disappointed about that though. That's one milestone I'm happy to miss.
@@woopimagpie thanks for the run down, guess it all boils down to a return to the ancient 'baccanalle' where body fluids of all kinds were exuded/exchanged, & everyone felt much better for it all afterwards.
hey there dummy i would love to hear the story of how you were electrocuted yet still managed to unelectrocute yourself long enough to write your post..?? i think what you meant to say is you were shocked, to be electrocuted means you died as a result of electricity being introduced into your shit.
Almost 40 years later & these guys are still going strong today (in different bands tho). Btw they never threw the dead cat in the audience, they cut it up with a machete & it wasn’t a bulldozer it was an excavator. Quite a difference.
You seem pretty knowledgeable on the topic. I thought your profile pic kinda looked like someone who gave me a CD for a New Mexico noise project called Death Convention Singers years ago, and when I clicked your profile I thought it's gotta be because of the Pow Wow videos, but apparently not. You might dig the music of Raven Chacon, though; he's a Navajo dude who's done a lot of noise stuff out here, and many other things; Death Convention Singers was one of his affiliated projects. He actually won a Pulitzer Prize for his stuff, which is cool because a lot of it is very punk rock. There was a pretty cool noise scene in Abq. back around 2012 when I lived there; maybe there still is, I dunno.
A lot of the pictures comes from Gin Satoh, a photographer who was able to record the chaos of this scene. I recommend everyone to check out these pictures because they are amazing and perfectly encapsulates that scene in the 80’s as a whole.
Eye founded Boredoms and sang with Naked City, Tabata played for Acid Mothers Temple, Boredoms, Zeni Geva and Green Flames (with Narita from the fantastic High Rise, one of the first bands published on PSF) just to mention a few if their main projects
@@deburke321 This was an extremely good and very informative video. I've listened to this band before but had no idea they did this absolute bonkers performance. If you want to listen to a really good Industrial Noise band with insane live shows then also check out EINLEITUNGSZEIT.
Ordinarily, I would not go to a concert in which the lead singer demolishes everything with an excavator. Yet, there is a part of me that admires how he did it without injuring anyone in the audience.
I definitely respect you for covering these artists. They definitely take art into places most others don't even dare to tread and I can't help but respect that. I love anything extreme and this is definitely on that level. Loving these videos!
This isn't art, this is the extreme lack of artistic value - you are drawing a crowd based on how reckless and inconsiderate you are, not how deep your art is. They were idiots.
@@phant0mdummy i think its all a matter of perspective. An idiot to some may be a genius to others. I'm not one to judge. Art is subjective, no matter how much I may disagree with it. Who am I to say that what they're doing isn't art?
Art is definitely subjective but there is a distinct difference from playing music and mixing extreme body art and self mutilation and just destroying things for the sake of being edgy these guys never elaborated about what message they were trying to convey they didn't have no greater message then that at least with GG Allen and other people covered by this channel had an ideology a goal a message a I'm going to be my self and express my feelings in a a way that may be hard to understand but it is saying something they used words and philosophy and music to an extent to help you feel like you were experiencing more than just bunch of guys doing stuff just to do it it was poetic in a way this I guess some people will call it art in the same way someone can put three paint drops on a canvas and sell it for half a mill
@@ArkaeaFCL3 It's the whole GG Allin dilemma, lots of people had no time for him because of his antics on and off stage, and he definitely intended to shock people... But he actually had some decent tunes, underneath it all, which for me is what overtakes the onstage antics. A band for me can have the most wild onstage act in history, but if the music is crap then it's all for nothing.
I believe Hanatarashi’s Yamantaka Ai joined Boredoms & toured US for Lollapaloza, which was followed by solo US your, which I saw. They had 3 drummers & Yamantaka fronted the band with this indescribable vocal noise.
Thanks for posting this. As an old-timer & one of Baltimore's few "Hardcore" Punkers in the early-mid 80's I am surprised I have never heard of Hanatarash. After watching the video I understand why. I don't know the guys in the band, & haven't heard any of their recordings, but I am familiar with NYC/USA's music scene. In the mid-80's hardcore evolved (or devolved) into a number of specific supbgenres: hardcore, straight edge, thrash (aka speed metal or skate punk), & noise art to name a few. This music & the bands that created it were extremely difficult to uncover & follow. Since MTV was just getting started & mainstream radio was a slave to their advertisers, the new unsigned "alternative or punk" bands relied on: word of mouth (plus the distribution of cassette mix-tapes), college & university radio stations (They were self-funded, & had no adverts. This allowed them to play what they wanted, not what sold adverts. Most of them had a weekly, 1 to 3 hour, "Punk Rock Program." Those were taped on cassette, highly prized, & traded at live concerts. ), occasional live shows (the only music festival, forgetting the original Woodstock, was the US Festival & showcased big name rock & roll bands. Live/Band/Farm-Aid hadn't happened yet, much less Lollapalooza & the Vans Warped Tours.), and a very small "Import/punk" section in record stores. Some of us would write the label (SST, Alternative Tentacles, & Rough Trade in the UK) and asked for a catalog. We figured the other bands on that label might be similar to the one we knew & liked. We didn't know most labels were owned by a band member & only existed to put that band's music out. SST/Alternative Tentacles/Factory?Rough Trade were the exception not the rule. Thanks to the internet, & content creators like yourself, anyone can listen to any band they want to. Plus, the artists have a platform to promote their creations. Hanatarash is radically different from the Noise Art I subjected myself to in NYC. Those shows usually drew a crowd of 30-50 people that simply stood & watched the performance. Unlike the hardcore shows I attended, there was no stage diving, crowd surfing, or slam dancing. I got the sense the audience felt too sophisticated, or cool, to just cut loose & dance. They were certainly older than the punk rockers in Baltimore. We were mostly high school students. John Zorn, Golden Palominos, Skeleton Crew were a few shows I recall seeing. Flipper, Butthole Surfers, & Sonic Youth were the only bands I remember that tried blending the Punk rock attitude & "noise art" into their music. There were many bands who sang about destruction, or tried to incite the crowd into destructive behavior, in the punk scene. But these 2 guys didn't sing about it, they actually went out and did it. It's not surprising they couldn't book a venue, after they destroyed one. Hats off to you for finding these guys, listening to their 3 albums, & posting content on them !!! I think about what we listened to & did back in those days & I feel sorry for the teenagers of today that don't have an outlet for their discontent. I suggest we bring back those glory days of punk rock. If teens could go to a show & slam dance, they might not feel compelled to take an assault rifle to school on "Show & Tell" day.
the teenagers of today DO have an outlet for their discontent; it's called guns, and they go out and do mass shootings. i wonder how this generation will look back on itself with nostalgia, or what will the coming generations do that the current generations will find shocking and repulsive.
@@teklife Interesting response, brother. Mass shootings by 12-25 year old people are certainly on the rise. Since the guns have always been available, and bullying is nothing new either, I wonder what is causing the increase. Some blame the guns, others the bullies. I prefer to blame the parents of the children/young adults coupled with internet & social media. I've noticed some youngsters create a fantasy, utopic life online. When this gets exposed they feel their actual life has ended, when it is only a persona created for social media. I'd love to chat more about this issue, but this isn't the space to do so. I also wonder as do you, what these current teens will miss during their golden years, like you. Shocking & repulsive, who knows buddy. I guess that's up to each individual to determine. I doubt I'll be here to find out though. Thanks for the reply bro.
fun fact the main singer of sonic youth hosted 120 minutes on mtv and he show a clip of the noise artist masonna on there you can still find a video of that if you look up masonna mtv on youtube
I hear ya, I was a teen in the early 90s in NJ; basement shows and hxc/punk was a thing. You either danced at a show or you didn’t…kids felt restrained. Heading into NYC and stopping at Pier Platters and 7 Star Pizza before you took the Path Train in. Lots of stuff I find ridiculous now mattered back then, they really didn’t. I’ll tell you hands down that if they liked Eisnturzende Neubauten, I’m already a fan. Wish I’d known then back then.
I remember hearing from these guys when i was discovering noise music in the 90s and even back then without pictures or videos, the stories about the bulldozer or Eye tying a chainsaw in his leg and spinning around at shows were known. Its funny because knowing about this scene and music and then "kinda" experiencing it in Woodstock 99, dude i felt we were all Yamataka Eye at one point, pure mayhem. It was bad but i wouldnt change it lol.
Now that im seeing this video its bringing back memories from that scene and music, dude what was the name of that psycho that used to cut himself and shot heroin during shows and then took a loaded gun and held the crowd hostage LOL, this fucking scene i swear. What was the name?
This is just an inspiration in all honesty. A lesson in knowing what lines not to cross, but a lesson in just how far you can push the envelope as a shock/chaos act. I'm wanting to do the same with my music. Off and on, I've made electronic music (I have a backlog I need to upload), and I want to do a modern day insane reenactment of this type of behavior. I've had ideas of sampling catastrophies in my music, or voice acting to simulate snuff films/death tapes, all while having an ARG element.
Japan is sometime consider to be a darker country because of story and events that happen in japan like junko furuta and s*xual assault to girls and woman
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs of all time. I love Hanatarash and I appreciate you giving them exposure. You never fail to amaze, keep up the great work. "Housedust" is my favorite song by them
Art is often times the act of pushing the limits just to see where the real line is. While that group is way past my personal line, it's objectively not "trash". Another goal of performance art is an experience for the audience that will never be repeated and never forgotten. The folks who showed up AFTER knowing what that band did certainly got all of that.
@@robwoodring9437 you have to reach the limits before you push them. This is not pushing boundaries in either music or musical performance, its a whole different sort of performance that while not devoid of meaning in itself doesnt even do the bare minimum when it comes to the music part.
@@jcg7719 "reach the limits before you push them"? So a band like Sonic Youth weren't artists because they didn't first do a Mozart concerto? Hip-hop isn't music because there's no melody? I'm not saying I like anything this noise band did, but it is art.
@@robwoodring9437 Feel sorry for the poor B******$ who had to clean the broken glass, p! Ss and crap up afterwards. Should have made the band do it as part of their contract. Lol! Bet they would not have created as much mayhem.
I had to google what german band you were talkin about because you spelled the name THAT wrong that i, as a german, couldn't understand it. You spelled Einstürzende Neubauten like Eistuhsende Nubotten. 😅😅😅 Thank you for this informative Clip. 👍👍👍
You can tell this band was dangerous when they did stunts that would’ve caused harm to not only them, but also the audience. I wonder, will you do a video on Aesthetic Meat Front? I heard about them somewhere, but the website was taken down.
I'm german and it's really funny how he says the band Name "Einstürzende Neubauten" something like Inzyzene Nybuten. By the way in english the Name means "collapsing new buildings"
There was that punk group that offered money (for their family) for someone to hang themselves on stage & apparently they had a few applicants. However they were told an accessory to suicide could get 10 years or so so never happened.
You should do a video on California band Babyland. Those guys live shows effected my life more then any other. Also Seattle band Tchung!, ever show ended in a riot with police showing up.
Dang. Would've liked to have seen them. I used to joke " y'all better bring helmets" and " make the owner sign a waiver before we start". But ws, those guys went off.
Holy crap. I thought GG Allen was insane but these guys seems to have been a step higher. Imagine if some band to day would have throw plates of glass on the audience. It would have been a case of prosecution. Really f-----g dangerous.
@@mattiassvanberg8292 Agreed. I can't believe these fools on here saying GG was less crazy. He would do anything he wanted to just about anyone and not give a flying fuck. 😆
No question more than a step higher these dudes are on a whole other level to that grub. That lowlife and his degenerate antics, along with his mediocre music is a different kind of crazy.
I wish I could of preformed at CBGB nothing better then letting out that energy and pain in a small room these guys remind me of that scene probably helped create it
I remember a comix-short I once read in renowned Heavy Metal Magazine, about a punk band whose quest for ever more death defying live acts had the singer eventually amputate both his arms and legs during a show. Considering the Japanese underground scene in the '80's as depicted in the vid, this doesn't actually seem as far fetched as that younger version of me initially thought.
How bout this. Set up giant mirrors behind the band set up. Have a welder and start welding , flash burn/blind everyone in the adiance. They would literally never see anything more exciting again in there entire lives 😎
I hope it never happens. Destruction and chaos for the sake of clout is embarrassing. It is only notable for Hanatarash because they did it first and long ago.
Man i am both fascinated and scared by this band, as well as envious and inspired Thanks! I discovered them years ago and listened to one song again just now lol. Then looked em up on RUclips, Eye must be an insane man for him to do this 😅
ive just come to this channel not long ago, but a topic i think you would cover John Cage really well, hes most known for his piece of music 4'33" where he comes out on stage, sits down for a few mins and then just leaves without saying anything. my music teacher spoke fondly of this man, and his view on sound is cool. i think it would make a pretty interesting video.
I had the second album on CD randomly got it with a bunch of punk and metal from a rummage sale in one of those big CD holder books it is a very unique sound is all I can say it was one of the most different punk experiences I ever had I wish it had the CD cover booklet so I could see what the tracks were titled
Hell yeah, I love all of these bands! Thanks for this! I saw Boredoms in S.F. but it was just a damn drum circle, I still liked it but it wasn't what I wanted, I hoping for some insanity. I saw Hell Child and a couple of other Japanese hardcore bands at Gilman St. (hate that place) that were amazing, but still not crazy like this. This reminds me of an S.R.L. show, wish I was there.
Out of pure curiosity, what draws you into these bands/performers? Is it a cathartic experience? Is it a desire to be apart of something intensely chaotic?
Was that Bordems show at the Independent? They had 3 drummers and Eye doing vocals and playing electronics. I thought it was fucking amazing personally. Ever heard os Cock ESP?
Imagine walking into random nightclub in Tokyo and seeing this. If you don’t throw a dead cat in the audience, you’re making pop music. If you don’t finish the show with a bulldozer, what’s really the point?
Mayhem:) Necrobuthcer is a really nice guy. We used to go to the amusement park with our kids. I remember his kid used to prank him all the time...hahah. whats fun to watch is his collection of vhs tapes, hours of old live Mayhem. Mayhem are ordinary guys:)
Lol they don't even let you take adderall over there. Drugs are a huge no no. There's a whole list of stuff you can get in the states that are illegal in Japan.
On a dark note, it's crazy how Hanatarash went out of their way to endanger their fans and didn't seriously hurt or kill anyone, yet one The Who concert, a concert in which the band had no intention of putting their fans in a dangerous situation, resulted in the deaths of eleven fans in a crush.
I love how being a destructive threat to innocent people and being as loud and desperately attention seeking as possible is seen as "artistic" and something worthy of praise and respect.
It took me most of the video before I realized that there wasn't a member of the group named "Vajuo", and you were saying "the duo". Interesting band for sure; I'm a noise nerd, and this is one group I haven't checked out much. I'd love to see more videos like this about different noise scenes and performers.

The UK _did_ birth industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle, who were probably a big influence on this band.

Yeah, as interesting as it would have been to see them perform, I also don't want to killed or severely injured because I watched a "band" perform.
Actual sex

same with the metal scene;

I prefer to blame the parents of the children/young adults coupled with internet & social media. I've noticed some youngsters create a fantasy, utopic life online. When this gets exposed they feel their actual life has ended, when it is only a persona created for social media. I'd love to chat more about this issue, but this isn't the space to do so.
I also wonder as do you, what these current teens will miss during their golden years, like you. Shocking & repulsive, who knows buddy. I guess that's up to each individual to determine. I doubt I'll be here to find out though. Thanks for the reply bro.
fun fact the main singer of sonic youth hosted 120 minutes on mtv and he show a clip of the noise artist masonna on there you can still find a video of that if you look up masonna mtv on youtube
hardcore is very much alive...
guns are not the issue, kids now are groomed into being sick in the head with societal complacency..
I hear ya, I was a teen in the early 90s in NJ; basement shows and hxc/punk was a thing. You either danced at a show or you didn’t…kids felt restrained. Heading into NYC and stopping at Pier Platters and 7 Star Pizza before you took the Path Train in. Lots of stuff I find ridiculous now mattered back then, they really didn’t. I’ll tell you hands down that if they liked Eisnturzende Neubauten, I’m already a fan. Wish I’d known then back then.
This band has fascinated me for so long but has only had some exposure into what really went on so I really appreciate the video
Simply for covering this band you've earned yourself a subscriber.
I remember hearing from these guys when i was discovering noise music in the 90s and even back then without pictures or videos, the stories about the bulldozer or Eye tying a chainsaw in his leg and spinning around at shows were known. Its funny because knowing about this scene and music and then "kinda" experiencing it in Woodstock 99, dude i felt we were all Yamataka Eye at one point, pure mayhem. It was bad but i wouldnt change it lol.
Now that im seeing this video its bringing back memories from that scene and music, dude what was the name of that psycho that used to cut himself and shot heroin during shows and then took a loaded gun and held the crowd hostage LOL, this fucking scene i swear. What was the name?
@@fungus_am0nguz644 I have no idea who you’re talking about but I’m interested because what the fuck
@@fungus_am0nguz644 prob GG Allin
Bro, this isn’t music
@@fungus_am0nguz644 Dont know about shooting heroin but death squad fits the other two.
This is just an inspiration in all honesty. A lesson in knowing what lines not to cross, but a lesson in just how far you can push the envelope as a shock/chaos act.
I'm wanting to do the same with my music. Off and on, I've made electronic music (I have a backlog I need to upload), and I want to do a modern day insane reenactment of this type of behavior.
I've had ideas of sampling catastrophies in my music, or voice acting to simulate snuff films/death tapes, all while having an ARG element.
Japan has a pretty intense noise scene from merzbow to diesel guitar.
Japan is sometime consider to be a darker country because of story and events that happen in japan like junko furuta and s*xual assault to girls and woman
And i respect Japanese girls and woman
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs of all time. I love Hanatarash and I appreciate you giving them exposure. You never fail to amaze, keep up the great work.
"Housedust" is my favorite song by them
One of the most interesting videos I’ve ever seen. Keep doing these type of videos, u are so good at doing them
Thanks a million! Will do!
I seriously love this channel, wish you uploaded more frequently!
Imagine a GG ALLIN x Hanatarash collab show
Oh lord
no survivors!
The earth would collapse
It would be crazy
Shite fest
This band sounds insane throwing passed away cats , destroying stages and hurling molotov cocktails sounds really unsafe
If you like that you should check out Premature Ejaculation. The one guy actually ate a dead cat and puked it back up. Quality stuff.
@@mariaquiet6211 🤢 that's grose
@@mariaquiet6211 i'm gonna check out
It’s punk rock. It should be dangerous.
@@hankscorpio8928 how
You forgot to mention that Hanatarash eventually morphed into the legendary Boredoms.
Everything from this band is absolutely TARASH!
I wouldn’t even call it a band.
It’s just two guy making nose and chaos.
@@ericcartman6724that's what a band is
Love Hanatarash. Love Boredoms even more. The bulldozed venue should’ve been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site after that gig.
It was an eyesore... how out of touch.
@@aodigital9421 cry
That was a truly interesting video, thanks for making it!
I saw this band on this exists a long while ago, I never forgot about it since it’s wild to see another channel talk about it
Band is living up to its name. Music TaRASH, Performance TaRASH, Artistry TaRASH
Art is often times the act of pushing the limits just to see where the real line is. While that group is way past my personal line, it's objectively not "trash". Another goal of performance art is an experience for the audience that will never be repeated and never forgotten. The folks who showed up AFTER knowing what that band did certainly got all of that.
@@robwoodring9437 you have to reach the limits before you push them.
This is not pushing boundaries in either music or musical performance, its a whole different sort of performance that while not devoid of meaning in itself doesnt even do the bare minimum when it comes to the music part.
@@jcg7719 "reach the limits before you push them"? So a band like Sonic Youth weren't artists because they didn't first do a Mozart concerto? Hip-hop isn't music because there's no melody? I'm not saying I like anything this noise band did, but it is art.
@@robwoodring9437 Feel sorry for the poor B******$ who had to clean the broken glass, p! Ss and crap up afterwards. Should have made the band do it as part of their contract. Lol! Bet they would not have created as much mayhem.
@@robwoodring9437 no, but they created music instead of random noises “because art bruh”
didnt know there was a youtube documentary on this band, thank you!!!
I had to google what german band you were talkin about because you spelled the name THAT wrong that i, as a german, couldn't understand it. You spelled Einstürzende Neubauten like Eistuhsende Nubotten. 😅😅😅 Thank you for this informative Clip. 👍👍👍
My thoughts too! Hahah
You can tell this band was dangerous when they did stunts that would’ve caused harm to not only them, but also the audience.
I wonder, will you do a video on Aesthetic Meat Front? I heard about them somewhere, but the website was taken down.
it's seriously up to channels like this to tell the stories of these bands so they don't get forgotten by the online generation
I'm german and it's really funny how he says the band Name "Einstürzende Neubauten" something like Inzyzene Nybuten. By the way in english the Name means "collapsing new buildings"
Imagine if they sold shirts, they'd probably just cut the logo into your chest
Thanks a lot. If we still only had TV, we wouldn't have sophisticated niche edutainment like these.
Soooo.......Mayonnaise *could* be an instrument??? 🤔
Yes....a mayo Cannon
@@snowqueen_8958 or maybe if the mayo comes in a glass jar 😂
There was that punk group that offered money (for their family) for someone to hang themselves on stage & apparently they had a few applicants. However they were told an accessory to suicide could get 10 years or so so never happened.
Zero class.
I mean if they got volunteers…
Imagine a Hanatarash tour with GG Allin as a special guest
I really enjoyed Yamantaka Eye screams when he was in Naked City. Him and John Zorn are a perfect pair.
So refreshing, what a gem I've stumbled upon. Proud subscriber from today onwards :)
Some of their post destruction pics are amazing, it's like a painting of punk Fury. 🤘
You should do a video on California band Babyland. Those guys live shows effected my life more then any other. Also Seattle band Tchung!, ever show ended in a riot with police showing up.
4:00 well, they don't call it "Danger Music" for nothing. (No really, that is a legit genre.)
1:12 "They two met at a Einstürzende Neubauten gig"
I need some time to figure that out xD
The fact that they met at an ENB show is testament.
Dang. Would've liked to have seen them. I used to joke " y'all better bring helmets" and " make the owner sign a waiver before we start". But ws, those guys went off.
You should talk about "CCCP - Fedeli alla linea", one of the most influencial punk-rock and new wave bands in Italy
Holy crap. I thought GG Allen was insane but these guys seems to have been a step higher.
Imagine if some band to day would have throw plates of glass on the audience. It would have been a case of prosecution. Really f-----g dangerous.
GG Allin was crazier than these guys. This is just performance art. Allin was fucked in the head for real.
@@mattiassvanberg8292 Ja. Karln var tokig.
@@mattiassvanberg8292 these guys were probably just as fucked up as gg lmao
@@mattiassvanberg8292 Agreed. I can't believe these fools on here saying GG was less crazy. He would do anything he wanted to just about anyone and not give a flying fuck. 😆
No question more than a step higher these dudes are on a whole other level to that grub.
That lowlife and his degenerate antics, along with his mediocre music is a different kind of crazy.
I wish I could of preformed at CBGB nothing better then letting out that energy and pain in a small room these guys remind me of that scene probably helped create it
Would you ever do a video on the Japanese skins, like all the SSS bands like Bull The Buffalos? Crazy dudes
I remember a comix-short I once read in renowned Heavy Metal Magazine, about a punk band whose quest for ever more death defying live acts had the singer eventually amputate both his arms and legs during a show. Considering the Japanese underground scene in the '80's as depicted in the vid, this doesn't actually seem as far fetched as that younger version of me initially thought.
One of my goals in life is to create a band and one up these guys. I have some tricks up my sleeves too!
I'm in!
How bout this. Set up giant mirrors behind the band set up. Have a welder and start welding , flash burn/blind everyone in the adiance. They would literally never see anything more exciting again in there entire lives 😎
@@mikeviolate666 Ha! Gottttttttttteeeem!
I hope it never happens. Destruction and chaos for the sake of clout is embarrassing. It is only notable for Hanatarash because they did it first and long ago.
I want to do something like this too cuz fuck yeah it would be amazing. How’s it going by now?
The first clip of the video is band human gas playing live in Bessie hall in 1985 awesome band very underrated
Was hoping to hear melt banana get mentioned, they’ll always be the best japanese noise metal band!
Yo! They played in Huddersfield. Great sounds!
Overachievers to be sure... but you can't forget Boris!
Man i am both fascinated and scared by this band, as well as envious and inspired
Thanks! I discovered them years ago and listened to one song again just now lol. Then looked em up on RUclips, Eye must be an insane man for him to do this 😅
ive just come to this channel not long ago, but a topic i think you would cover John Cage really well, hes most known for his piece of music 4'33" where he comes out on stage, sits down for a few mins and then just leaves without saying anything. my music teacher spoke fondly of this man, and his view on sound is cool. i think it would make a pretty interesting video.
Indeed- and from John Cage to John Cale is a great journey also
He also has a piece playing in a church that is supposed to finish in the 27th century.
I had the second album on CD randomly got it with a bunch of punk and metal from a rummage sale in one of those big CD holder books it is a very unique sound is all I can say it was one of the most different punk experiences I ever had
I wish it had the CD cover booklet so I could see what the tracks were titled
Hell yeah, I love all of these bands! Thanks for this!
I saw Boredoms in S.F. but it was just a damn drum circle, I still liked it but it wasn't what I wanted, I hoping for some insanity.
I saw Hell Child and a couple of other Japanese hardcore bands at Gilman St. (hate that place) that were amazing, but still not crazy like this. This reminds me of an S.R.L. show, wish I was there.
Out of pure curiosity, what draws you into these bands/performers? Is it a cathartic experience? Is it a desire to be apart of something intensely chaotic?
Was that Bordems show at the Independent? They had 3 drummers and Eye doing vocals and playing electronics. I thought it was fucking amazing personally. Ever heard os Cock ESP?
Oh man, I used to love listening to hanatarash cuz of the insane energy.. never even knew about the insane shows.. awesome lol
Fan of your channel, instantly.
Thank you!
I swear I saw a video about this like 2 years ago, with the same thumbnail photo
Club owner: sure wish someone would destroy my venue.
Hanatarash: got you fam
He designed the cover art of Beck's Midnite Vultures fyi.
yeah Yamantaka Eye rocks, his other music is really really good
Boredoms is like one of my favourite bands
boredoms toured with my all favorite band brutal truth (grindcore), and then did a mini tour with nirvana, i miss that era.
I have fallen upon 1 of very few 1 in a million different channels and I fucking love it keep it up brotha 🤘🤘
Imagine walking into random nightclub in Tokyo and seeing this.
If you don’t throw a dead cat in the audience, you’re making pop music. If you don’t finish the show with a bulldozer, what’s really the point?
THERE HAS TO BE A HANATARASH AND KITARO TOUR SOMEWHERE
Jesus, I expected this kind of chaos in the US, but good lord Japan beat us to it!
Lol Japan has world-renowned, crazy underground and experimental music scene.
I've seen Einsturzende Neubauten four times.. A brilliant band.
Thank you for posting about the genre of harsh noise while having over 500k subs. Risky but necessary
When I first saw the title of the video I thought immediately in G.i.s.m. , didn't know about this band, thank you!
I see no bulldozer. Definitely see an excavator though.
You’re absolutely right, it was an excavator. I’m surprised more ppl didn’t point that out.
Hype
Mayhem:) Necrobuthcer is a really nice guy. We used to go to the amusement park with our kids. I remember his kid used to prank him all the time...hahah. whats fun to watch is his collection of vhs tapes, hours of old live Mayhem. Mayhem are ordinary guys:)
I’d also be curious to know if the band mates were sober or if they were on a list of drugs to create this type of chaotic behavior
I bet they were sober for some reason
Lol they don't even let you take adderall over there. Drugs are a huge no no. There's a whole list of stuff you can get in the states that are illegal in Japan.
@@jecka1021 I mean, I don't think legality is what stops people from using drugs like that lol.
@@iuritur3276 well no, but I'd imagine it's hard to get anything in there. Then again there's always the household way.
@@jecka1021 Unfortunately. Nonetheless you have a great point, don't get me wrong.
Finally something I can get behind.
They make The Who look like well behaved choir boys lol.
On a dark note, it's crazy how Hanatarash went out of their way to endanger their fans and didn't seriously hurt or kill anyone, yet one The Who concert, a concert in which the band had no intention of putting their fans in a dangerous situation, resulted in the deaths of eleven fans in a crush.
Maybe a video on John Cale next. Subbed 👍
Me, at start of video: oh, you say they're crazier than GG Allin? pfft yeah sure buddy
Me, at end of video: GG Allin was a saint
懐かしい。
More dangerous than Travis Scott tho❓❓❓
No
I love how their logo has a Conflict/Crass look to it.
I love how being a destructive threat to innocent people and being as loud and desperately attention seeking as possible is seen as "artistic" and something worthy of praise and respect.
RIGHT?!
Gotta love art critics 😆
I'm beginning to wonder if venues book bands like these after double insuring...
Yamatsuka EyE is unfathomably based
Sometimes all you need is just a video about one of the seminal noise bands from Japan
It took me most of the video before I realized that there wasn't a member of the group named "Vajuo", and you were saying "the duo".
Interesting band for sure; I'm a noise nerd, and this is one group I haven't checked out much. I'd love to see more videos like this about different noise scenes and performers.
I lived in Yokosuka from 86 _91 wow the punk scene in Tokyo on Sunday was wild
I guess they did what they set out to do - make noise for noise's sake. Musically it's absolute garbage.
Oh, throwing dead cat on crowd and broken glass? So artistic.
Imagine going to a show not knowing what you're getting into and end up getting chased with an excavator
Love your work 🙃
Visual kie is also a good ass genre I love Japan's goth subculture
*kei
Saw boredoms >4 times and related groups a bunch. Just fun. Chill folks too. Yoshimi is a nice mom.
im sorry thats not music what so ever
Hanatarash, impressive choice
At what point do you stop billing yourselves as a band and just start a demolition company?
The two members met at a Einstürzende Neubauten concert, which is pronounced slightly different as it was in this video.
Their music is like if someone smashed their head on a random audio generator
Japanoise is something else..
