First band to fully blur the threshold between hardcore and metal. Skinheads, punks, skateboarders, and metal heads all “crossing over” for nights of legendary violence and chaos in clubs and scenes now long gone. 💯 🔥
@@nugsovile4333 Well, I am sure you have a scene but my point about crossover was that it was crossing over, and that was brand new. Almost 40 years later I am sure bands are playing all sorts of hybrid music, but when DRI came in the scene the “crossover” was brand new.
I was a wee baby in '87 but I saw them on their 40yr anniversary tour and holy shit.... Why haven't I listened to them this whole time? I'll be a fan for the rest of my life at least :p Badass motherfuckers....
Crazy how D.R.I was labeled as metalcore back then! Much has changed I think. Metalcore has evolved to sound much differently nowadays in my opinion. My dad grew up during this era and he said there was NOTHING like D.R.I or Suicidal Tendencies for that matter. Went from favoring classic heavy metal bands like Judas Priest to crossover overnight (though he still holds much respect for the pre-crossover metal bands!)
I already was aware of DRI and had both the dirty rotten album and dealing with it. I bought a compilation album called Death, it was put out by metal blade records. Anyway it had DRI, COC, THE MENTORS, BEYOND POSSESSION, plus other bands. Anyway the DRI song was a new song that was going to be on their new album later that year and yes that song was Five year plan. I saw the Crossover over tour and I remember the place going mental as soon as that riff came in.
The shows at Fenders ballroom. Violent insanity. Bodies flying everywhere. Kurt walking on everyone's heads. LADS , Suicidal punks and Circle One waging war in the pit. More people on the stage than in the crowd. 5 dollar shirts . The human steam was fucking gross. Good times 😌
PUNK INSPIRED THRASH ( I WAS A SKATER BACK THEN AGED 14 ! ) AS THEY SAY ON THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST ---- N I C E AFTER 30 YEARS IT STILL FUCKING ROCKS
Jimmy moss rip may God bless You this song i held in my everything when you thought you had power to kill I stood up to you well 5 year Plan JIMMY moss died of Corona
i still see these guys in our hometown of Houston every chance they are around they still kick fucking ass. Fuck yeah DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *starts to punch myself in the head repeatedly*
seriously bud they are so fucking awesome live last show I saw them at fitzgeralds in Houston we all dropped some acid and drank some home-brewed hooch and they kicked my fuckin asshole, I recall the song FIVE YEAR PLAN blistering my fuckin ears while my friend Android picked me up by my feet and literally used me as a human club and beat the shit outta everyone like I was a Louisville slugger then threw me across the room onto the stage I did a little dance and punched myself in the face repeatedly while skankin off the side and stage dove- yes I was caught... for once lmao every time I done a stage dive I usually land on my face best show ever man, id sew my DRI patch to my damn face if I knew my fam wouldn't send me to a institution
Yeah at least the front man and the drummer they are actually brothers I think. I know they aren't using their original bass unless he jus got all cracked out and lost his hair. :\ and a new guitar player, younger dude. They still sound the same lol theyre fucking bad the fuck ass I see them ever chance I get thank god I live I Houston
Current bass player is harrold o. Fun dude! Tons of stories. Book just released with tons of his pics from the ol' CA days; "Murder in the front row." Guitar player is still Spike. Just has short hair. They always keep going through drummers. And Kurt is still at the front. But I agree, still super fun!!!
*Josh Pepe, bass player from this line-up is doing Gang Green, still, I think. Felix, the drummer from this video is doing BAT with guitarist from M. Waste. This line-up did a few reunion shows in the TX area. You probably saw this line-up and didn't know cause everyone minus Kurt has short hair. Lol
@@lorddrac_dontaskmetodance I was a few years younger. So I did not attend garage gigs at the time. However they played gigs at a club called The Island. I do recall Slayer opening for DRI. The show was $5 bucks. Imagine that? 2 Good things to come out of Houston...Bill Hicks and DRI.

People died at DRI's Shows...seriously!? I love DRI, since 1985!!??
“crossing over” is reference to the album, “Crossover”
@@user-user-user-user. I am not stupid
The scenes are not gone, where I'm from we have a Crust Punk, Hardcore, Death Metal, and Crossover scene happening right now.

Just making sure this track is still here. We might need it when the aliens show up.
How good is this even today 🤘😎
This tune sums up my highschool days in the 80's🤘
They still sound this good, saw them a couple of weeks ago and had a blast
Al final tu tiempo vendra, cuando menos te lo esperes.
🤘🤘
I’m lucky enough to have seen D.R.I live at least three or four times and man these past few years and man, they still fucking kick ass on stage!
I was a wee baby in '87 but I saw them on their 40yr anniversary tour and holy shit.... Why haven't I listened to them this whole time? I'll be a fan for the rest of my life at least :p
Badass motherfuckers....

@@RobotNacionalista Thrash started to actually fucking matter when these legends came around
D.R.I. 5 year plan great jam classic metal.
Eh, it's not classic metal ... it's a crossover from hardcore to metal. The song is a classic now, of course.
DxRxIx one of the best live bands ever!! Loved seeing them back in the early LA thrash days!!
metalcore from 1987 still kick hard in 2034 ! futuristic band DRI was..
🤟
Wonder what ever became of Felix Griffin...
Wow..this brings back memories..what a fuckin great live band! '87 was prob.the same year I saw these guys with Kreator! Those were the fuckin' days!
Kreator and Holy Terror, all were awesome . I saw it in Trenton, NJ
That was first concert. Saw it in Tucson, AZ.@@stratupdude
BANDAS GENUINAS

Early DRI live belongs stlll to the best concerts i have seen and i have seen a lot Metal and HC bands,at least in the 80's and 90's.
I remember buying Crossover. This opening track was my introduction to DRI.
I already was aware of DRI and had both the dirty rotten album and dealing with it. I bought a compilation album called Death, it was put out by metal blade records. Anyway it had DRI, COC, THE MENTORS, BEYOND POSSESSION, plus other bands.

sounds just like the record.fuckin awesome
Cool.
This version of D.R.I is my favorite, Felix Griffin was the backbone of the group if you ask me.
That LP with a Floyd Rose🪐
Tabarnak!! Thank you!
ALL OLD SHOOL BANDS LIKE DRI MISFITS WAS CATEGORY: GODS
Used to rock out to Crossover and ST How Will I Laugh Tomorrow... seminal crossover albums
Saw them the night before this show at Sundance in Bayshore LI
The shows at Fenders ballroom.
Violent insanity.
Bodies flying everywhere.
Kurt walking on everyone's heads.
LADS , Suicidal punks and Circle One waging war in the pit.
More people on the stage than in the crowd.

Good times 😌
Muito bom, o som de DRI.
Straight🔥
In the 80s, metalcore meant crossover. It only recently that shit bands took the genre name.
Metal changes, music changes, and they didn't take the name. The labels gave them the name and the fans choose rather that the genre fits the band.
@@nugsovile4333 I think thrashcore/crossover thrash fits better now then metalcore do to what most people think of when metalcore is said
PUNK INSPIRED THRASH ( I WAS A SKATER BACK THEN AGED 14 ! )

RIP Josh Pappe
@Thrash666Metal1 They did relocate to the Bay area around 1983.
haha the suit and tie guy is Bill Pullman
You boys loved day dreaming about me back in ‘87 didn’t you?
Single best thing Texas has ever produced. Hands down.
Pantera..Dimebag Darryl

Fucking crushing.
sounds like my work anthem
period!!!
Exploited warzone Dri this was nuts
all i wanna be is left alone
@0:05 announcer say "hardest band to come from the Bay Area" I thought these guys from Houston, TX???
They are from Houston, but in the early 80's they moved to the Bay area. I know DRI are from Houston because they lived close to our neighborhood.

they screwed the drummer, i would put them in court for this.
From WHERE!!!???!?!??!?
Gente alguien que sepa que banda es al minuto 46" me interesa y no esta en la lista gracias...
I don't think it will take 5 years
Did they just call DRI “metalcore”... in 1987?
That's a another name for crossover thrash in the 80s but the name metalcore died out
mY INSPIRATION . FAKAZ
Concordo Plenamente !!!! HAIL BRASIL! askoOKASKOas
I want 00:37-1:05 on a fucking loop!!!
I seen MDC open up for N.I.L.8. in a small hole in the wall bar in Terre Haute,IN. back in 1993... they were bad ass!!!! John Wayne was a Nazi!!! LMAO
ZombIX138 Kurt Brecht was too!
Wtf the announcer guy call em metalcore?
Metalcore is Thrash metal with influence of Hardcore, and that is exactly what D.R.I is
Awor niuwork
