I was the singer of a french hardcore metal band named Krull, based in Paris, and we opened for RKL in Paris suburbs in 1988, it was one of the best show ever! What a great band and great people!
This was recorded during a European tour in 1986. The Bass player was only 16 and he had to have a bandmate have temp. guardian so he could enter Europe. The spawned a whole new sound of technical hardcore punk dubbed "Nardcore" (they formed in Oxnard CAL.). They got their name from an old guy who said " they're nothin but a bunch of rich kids on LSD". They thought it was hilarious (none were rich) & the name was born!
Nardcore broke from Oxnard in Ventura county in 81ish. One of their first songs was on a Mystic Records compilation record called Nardcore with the top bands on the album's questionnaire were given a record on Mystic and the rest is history. But they formed in Santa Barbara.
Props for who recommend RKL. I just saw a list of 50 best punk albums…NO R&R Nightmare? They had some great records on the list, but…C’mon. #morewestcoastrespect
Rich Kids on LSD dabbled a bit in speed Metal too but yeah,they're a constant. One of the best bands of that entire era. Gang Green and GISM might also be worth looking at if you like this kind of stuff.
To think I was alive and witnessed this renaissance of triumphant music. What a privilege to see punk go from blah blah bleargh,puke, to what it was born to be.
hell yeah, kinda the first time I'm getting the point of a reaction video... did the trend really start with 2 girls 1 turd? Rkl is the best band, and I can't say 5 bucks is a bad deal for someone to shout out something basically.
Who the hell requested Rich Kids on LSD? What a legend.
Right?!? And he actually did it too!
Fuk yea! Thank you from all of Santa Barbara 's people who have been loyal fans to our brothers RKL!
This made my day 5/20/22.

RKL most underrated band ever. period.
By who?
To the mainstream, ya. Underground back then, they were legends, still are.
Rock´n Roll Nightmare probably is the best Album ever pressed on vinyl.
I think LIVE IN BERLIN
Greeted from West Berlin
Love seeing rkl getting some recognition
Your reaction was my reaction when I first heard this song 24 years ago...been a die hard fan ever since.
I grew up in Santa Barbara in the 80's listening and seeing RKL.

RKL did not form nardcore. They were roughly associated with that scene because they were from the same city. Not the same tho.
They chose the name well,true or not it catches the eye and definitely is what got me to listen to them.
1989

Damn dude. In terms of punk rock, this is kind of a deep cut. SUBBED!
