I just discovered them about 5 years ago and constantly amazed that their new stuff is just as good as their first stuff and vice versa. Same feeling I get from bands like System of a Down and especially Ozzy Osbourne (okay he went a little mellow at one point but even those songs were still bangers for what they were). Love bands that stand the test of time!
For me I think it's cuz they are so damn tight together. Just all in the pocket cuz it's not as easy with a singer who switches style so much. They kill it!
rowan mcadoo I did the exact same thing :') Heard some reggae music and I kind of liked it and I love metal so I went to see what I could find. These guys are sick :'')
This band has stood the test of time, as 14 years later there has not been another band quite like them. There was never a Skindred before them and we'll see if there ever is again 🤔 Alright... I'm done my yearly revisit to this song. See you again in 2023 👍
Vladmir Dragunov It's Reggae Metal. You need to understand that there's different kinds of Metal. Nu Metal is too, people just like to say it's not because they don't want to admit it.
I was on a Disturbed concert in Germany a few days ago. This guys were the act before. Never heard them till this day, will listen to Skindred from now on!
Im mexican and my scottish friend that i work with in Canada just told me about these guys. Just heard it for the first time. Whatafuck!!!!!!!!! This is wicked awesome!!! Reggae meets metal. Bob would be so proud!!!!
I was born in Britain but I am half Maltese, my half brothers are half Jamaican and half Maltese and we all love Skindred. You, me, and anyone else from any nationality... we are all united as one when music is involved, it brings us happiness, togetherness and, importantly, unity. Take care chilangua, I hope Canada is looking after you. I have quite a bit of family there
I was just at the Laundromat and a thought randomly came up in my head. "Does Reggae Metal exist?" I searched and I found this and listened to more songs from Skindred. I've then added Skindred to my daily playlist
Its 2007, 1 am, You and your cousin are Playing Halo 3 Legendary campaign together with a plate of microwave nachos laying on the carpet between you. Skindred is playing over the game audio. Life is good.
Hungary - Székesfehérvár - FEZEN 2016. They were awesome! It was my best concert ever! (I'm 24, and was in Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Black Label Society, etc concerts, and this was the best!)
I saw them in Rock al Parque in Bogotá 2012, Colombia and they rocked the fuckin house. Never heard of them before back then, now, I can´t stop listening their masterpieces. These guys are really good.
I remember finding out about them seeing them open for disturbed in my home town. They were first and the energy has been unmatched since! This was around 2010. I have loved this song dearly since. They definitely managed to blend the two genres superbly
Unbelievable! Even better live! And to think I was absolutely privileged to support these guys and open a show for them in Plymouth back in 2005! A memory I will treasure!! Lol!
+William Sellers if ska-punk-metal counts then i can tell you about SiM, they're japanese and im pretty fond of em, not quite as much as i like Skindred though
That moment when you find this and are suprised you found it 16 years after release 🤣 daaaamn this is goood 🤤🤙 the rough wow in between the reaggy parts kik in diffrent 😝 make this go hype 😁😁
Easier to avoid publicity to be honest. A load of celebs go mad because of constant harassing by fans and paparazzi. Some rich people also turn into complete cunts because of the constant hounding people give them
+callum micallef I don't think he's really a "millionaire" I mean sure he must have money and I love Skindred, but still they're just a mildly known band.
Ah, good old times in 2015, found this song by accident, downloaded, thought it was strangest thing i ever heard, but soon became addicted to it. Found other songs by them and became a fan. That was great year for me. Many things have changed but Skindred will always have a special place in my heart. May Funky Sun bless them. Peace
Another amazing "raggametal" song from this underrated band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 And the singer, wow, how he can move in such a small space ! Has anybody noticed how he naturally goes from reggae and dancehall singing to metalcore screaming ? He's awesome ! And the other members too, they play like a Jamaican metal band 🤩

Reggae and Metal are two genres that you would never imagine sounding good together, but then you listen to it and you're really happy they do.

Alright... I'm done my yearly revisit to this song. See you again in 2023 👍
Let me recommend you SiM. It's not exactly the same, but the vibe is there.
They started in 1998? Not 14 but 24 I think...
@@foxik992 truuee especially that new song fxxk
Weeeelll - you should at least try out some Bad Brains, or Benji's previous band Dubwar
But before they where DUB WAR
I'm a HUGE metal fan who never bothered listening to reggae, but this is fucking sick as hell.
what a nice song, loved it
absolutely there are so many like us loving metal and reggae i think

Hell yeaah yoo, i came to the us from Bahamas when i was ten and thought this music was cool af, so glad it wasn't just a phasee bruh.
Anda a cagar
I was on a Disturbed concert in Germany a few days ago. This guys were the act before. Never heard them till this day, will listen to Skindred from now on!
It's physically impossible to not head bang when the chorus starts
It's almost impossible the whole song
@@curtismarriott7011
Me: *isn't headbanging at all*
Deadass I haven't heard this year in yeeaars and I didn't remember any of it but right when it came up I started headbanging it was like an instinct
Reading this while head banging to the chorus! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Well, I did avoid headbanging, but my knees and my feet hurt
Skindread is such an underrated band. Been around for almost 20 years. Great band
And that, my friends, is how you genre mash.
Butt Rockman listen to DAgames will ryan he's a genre mashing killing machine^^
This guy has a golden voice!
Im mexican and my scottish friend that i work with in Canada just told me about these guys. Just heard it for the first time.
Whatafuck!!!!!!!!! This is wicked awesome!!! Reggae meets metal. Bob would be so proud!!!!
El reggae metal es una función super rara XDxDxdxDxdxDXd

I never thought that reggae and metal would go together but this proves me wrong
i think so lol
Not heard of BAD BRAINS?
pixel paradise bad brains is reage meet punk
there's punk in there too.
Its called Roots Rock Reggae, the original genre created in Jamaica. Reggae always had a arm of Rock in it.
I fucking love this band. Their unique sound and the insane amount of talent is breathtaking.
no you are breathtaking 🤌🏻

Like Kim Kardasdhian... You shine more light on shit and people might like it?
lmao they are b/c of NSFU2
It’s weird but they didn’t want to go mainstream mind blowing that he lives by me 😂😂😂
I discovered this song today and i love it
Skindred's masterpiece :) reggae+metal= eargasm
Grandiosa combinación, que gran banda!
Metal: Éxtasis
Reggae: Relax
Simplemente PERFECTO!
I never knew I needed Rock/Reggea in my life untill I heard Skindreds 'Nobody', now I'm here! Much Love
There is always free cheese in the rat trap :)
Hungary - Székesfehérvár - FEZEN 2016. They were awesome! It was my best concert ever! (I'm 24, and was in Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Black Label Society, etc concerts, and this was the best!)
Saw them at graspop a few days ago. I must have been living under a rock, this is epic as hell 🤘
I've never listened to this song less than three times in a row.... Absolutely LOVE it!!!!!
The first Time I seen them Was when they opened for disturbed it was epic been hooked on his music since!!
Saw their concert a couple years ago. Will NEVER forget the awesome-ness of that night!!! This is my favorite song that they played!!!
It was a delight seeing them play yesterday in Amsterdam!
I saw them in Rock al Parque in Bogotá 2012, Colombia and they rocked the fuckin house. Never heard of them before back then, now, I can´t stop listening their masterpieces. These guys are really good.
seen them live countless times. still one of the most entertaining acts to see, definetly recomended!
sounds like soad mixed with coheed. i absolutely love it.
This video still gives me chills from the performance, 11 years later. Love these guys :)
I'm 50% Jamaican and I love metal and reggae so for me this is just FANTASTIC! Some great music to bring in 2022!
I remember finding out about them seeing them open for disturbed in my home town. They were first and the energy has been unmatched since! This was around 2010. I have loved this song dearly since. They definitely managed to blend the two genres superbly
This group is simply brillant, they use reaggea and metal as primary sound then soften the gap with punk and hip hop !
Unbelievable! Even better live!
And to think I was absolutely privileged to support these guys and open a show for them in Plymouth back in 2005! A memory I will treasure!! Lol!
Favourite Reggea Metal Band till this day :D
Yeah!
Yep but just a few ones not that many :/
+William Sellers if ska-punk-metal counts then i can tell you about SiM, they're japanese and im pretty fond of em, not quite as much as i like Skindred though
+DarkturtleX name some other bands then please, I really dig this
hmmm i have a list somewere let me find it :D
this is the first time I have heard this kind of music and I am instantly in love!!!!
Love the tune and the lead singer has a very melodic and smooth voice.
You can see how great it is because with over 4 million views, not one dislike. Keep up the good work Skindred!
One of the few bands in my 40 years living that my jaw was literally dropped the first time listening 🙌 so good
I love this song and this band!!
How the hell did they blend reggae AND Metal...and make it sound this good!!! This is great stuff, new and interesting...I'm liking it.
That moment when you find this and are suprised you found it 16 years after release 🤣 daaaamn this is goood 🤤🤙 the rough wow in between the reaggy parts kik in diffrent 😝 make this go hype 😁😁
Saw Skindred live this year and they were amazing! One of the best live shows I have seen so far.
Crazy to think I've been a fan of them for 22 years now.
Holy shit, watch this at 1.25 speed.
Fucking epic.
How? I don't have the option.
You just found a way to HARDCOREIZE this band!
0lvl Only if you use google chrome
Gal Gazit
oh thanks, mistery solved
Lol slow it down to normal at 2:20 till like 2:45 or something then back to 1.25
This is probably the most random but best thing I've ever seen
It's weird the lead singer of the band lives in the same city as me and he walks around looking homeless but really he's a millionaire.
Easier to avoid publicity to be honest. A load of celebs go mad because of constant harassing by fans and paparazzi.
Some rich people also turn into complete cunts because of the constant hounding people give them
+TheDrumGod yeah I understand want you mean. It's good all the touring and albums,he can come back to Newport and be treated like a normal person.
+callum micallef I don't think he's really a "millionaire" I mean sure he must have money and I love Skindred, but still they're just a mildly known band.
Orochi Candyman it would be pretty weird if you are not a millionaire after selling platinum albums.
+callum micallef Dude, Skindred are awesome, but they've never been close to having a platinum album never mind albums.
He is way underrated should've been bigger than what this greatness is
Saw them on Thursday in Bristol they played this first, epic show
Saw them at Download Festival yesterday. They are fucking amazing live!!
Reggae + metal = awesome. Where have you been all my life
Been listening to this forever. 2019 anyone?
2020 soon brother. My spotify most listened to song of the decade!
Yah. I'm right there with ya
@@MarysAbyss 2020 hahaha
Saw these guys at the Thunderdome a LONG ass time ago in Maryland. They just as awesome live.

Goodness I'm going down my middle school playlist when I was in 8th grade....sheesh. Time flies don't it? Loveeee this band
Why is this so fucking cool
well...that's unique
finally something genuine
i crave this moment each time it happens
2019 anyone?

Over a decade later and still bangin
Right on
so much respect to be a frontman and give so much space and videotime to the drummer.
Sick groove. Just sick. I love it when vocalists actually sing.
Another amazing "raggametal" song from this underrated band 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
And the singer, wow, how he can move in such a small space ! Has anybody noticed how he naturally goes from reggae and dancehall singing to metalcore screaming ? He's awesome ! And the other members too, they play like a Jamaican metal band 🤩
Amazing. Reggae, punk, heavy metal, r&p etc. mixed in same song. Now I´m heard everything. :)
[Intro:]
Too much of us caught in a rat trap we ah fe bust out ah that
Too much of us caught in a rat race ah fe bust out ah that
[Verse 1:]
They're in a contest and a competition
Caught in the snare material suction
If what you've got is all you mention
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
Pushing and pulling juggling it no stop
There's always free cheese inside a rat trap
You better watch before the snap goes pop
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
[Hook:]
Don't even bother with the boasting
Just take care, cause this ya rat race ain't fair
Even the saints them are falling
So beware! You'll find no winners in there
You know its gonna get you whoa
And it will never let you go
You know who its gonna get you whoa
And it will never let you go
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa
It'll never it'll never, we in a we in a
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa!
And it will never let you go whoa whoa
Rat trap we can't escape from it whoa
And it will never let you go
Can't get out of there
[Verse 2:]
Chatty people they will talk all day
Talk your business and they feel no way
Elaborate and make up the story
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
You're always watching what they got next door
If your belly is full and you still want more
Helping the rich when you go down with the poor
Move on go way I tell you, move on go way I tell you
[Hook]
It's a rat race; it's a rat race
Someone come and tell me who [?] the human race?
Fury breaks the chain! Let us go. (x4)
[Hook]
"someone come and tell me what's wrong with the human race" is what I heard
@@xCaPTaiNx definitely.
Saw them on Friday at RedFest. Soooooo good!!!!!
This take me back at 2008 - 2009. So incredible :)
Their music still feels fresh after all these years
Grew up listening to very different types of music, some of my favourites being dancehall and metal, never thought I'd find a middle ground.
The people who disliked the video are missing out on absolutely phenomenal music.
Still a banger in 23 🤘😖🤘
saw these guys last week at wembley, cant get enough of them
Same, just brilliant.
saw these guys live with hollywood undead, never heard them before them but became an instant fan with their incredible stage presence
love this shit cant stop
What happens when someone decided to put Slipknot, Rage Against The Machine and Bob Marley in a blender hahha

This is AMAZING!
2016, still watching !
The intro is so powerful, holy shit, how come did I find this band only now?
Cuz mainstream garbage grabs allz attention! Underground is the fuckin sound!!!
This is great!!! Never heard of these guys until now. Love their stuff.
I'm so glad after 7/8 years I still know the lyrics, haha. This song is timeless!
OW WOW!!! 2:22
fuckin awesome!
that's a twist
1:18 1:27 "The belly is full and they still want more!" 😂
I just love it!!! Amazing combination of reggae and metal!
Can't wait to see this band! Most excited since 70s punk to reggae transition for me....
Koncert Skindread - to był najlepszy koncert na Woodstock 2011!
what is this form of perfection
The most good
Que fusión! Me encanta descubrir estas genialidades.
Love these guys!! This is from the earlier days!!
