I always refer to our humble senator as such. I really don't like her. I have the mp3 of the whole show, and a couple videos from it. Isnt that from On Broadway?

[duffroxmysox]

Recently got my first DK album by chance cos I liked one song I'd heard that wasn't even on that album, liking it alot!


*got Frankenchrist

[Brain Toad]

Frankenchrist is a solid album. Probably my second favourite album (In God We Trust Inc is first)

My favourites go like this:
In God We Trust Inc
Frankenchrist
FFFRV
Plastic Surgery Disasters
Give Me....
Bedtime for Democracy

[theramed toothpaste]

cool.

sorry everytime i try it keeps saying cannot find server so I've just upgaraded my version of slsk the names theramed

i really dont like Bedtime for Democracy, to me it sounds like they just put together a bunch of songs in a hurry to make a cd. i dont know though.

[Brain Toad]

i really dont like Bedtime for Democracy, to me it sounds like they just put together a bunch of songs in a hurry to make a cd. i dont know though.

It has good songs, but it isnt as fantastic as the others, hence why its at the bottom of the list for me. That and Give Me.. are also the ones I don't have on CD, because I can never find them at the record store.

[guns_of_brixton]

For me it would be:

Frankenchrist
FFFRV
In God We Trust Inc./Plastic Surgery Disasters
Give Me Convinience or Give Me Death
Bedtime for Democracy

[CombatRock]

It has good songs, but it isnt as fantastic as the others, hence why its at the bottom of the list for me. That and Give Me.. are also the ones I don't have on CD, because I can never find them at the record store.

i life GMCOGMD just cos it has Life Sentence, that such a badass song.

[Anxious]

i really dont like Bedtime for Democracy, to me it sounds like they just put together a bunch of songs in a hurry to make a cd. i dont know though.
I feel the same way. But i bought it on vynil cause the artwork on the cover is amazing.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Bedtime... rules. It's lyrically one of their best CD's.

[Anxious]

I love Chicken **** conformist, thats my favorite track on Bedtime.

[El_Shiznit]

I love Bedtime. I bought it last on purpose because I heard bad things about it. But once I finally got it, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a solid album from start to finish in my opinion.

[CombatRock]

I feel the same way. But i bought it on vynil cause the artwork on the cover is amazing.

yea its easily the best album cover by them.

[guns_of_brixton]

Not that many people like Stars and Stripes of Corruption, but I love it.

[Brain Toad]

I like Stars and Stripes, haven't listened to it in awhile.

Maybe during the summer I'll review all the DK albums for Sputnik and my own site.

[Anxious]

Stars and stripes of corruption used to be my favorite song.

[Brain Toad]

I've been learning Terminal Preppie on guitar, Ray does some intresting guitar work on that song, but which song doesnt have intresting guitar work?

[El_Shiznit]

Terminal Preppie was the first DK song I learned. But I learned it on bass.

[CombatRock]

Nazi punks was the first song i learned, the bassline.

[Brain Toad]

The easist song from them I learned on guitar from them is Buzzbomb.

[CombatRock]

for Dk being one of my fav. band i only know one song by them on my bass.

[Rise Me Up]

I learned the "Police Truck" bassline first,then learned it on guitar.

[sketchyjoe]

California Uber Alles or Holiday in Cambodia was the first DK bassline I learned.

[Anxious]

for Dk being one of my fav. band i only know one song by them on my bass.
Learn Forest Fire, its the best.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Forest Fire has a good bassline. So does Let's Lynch the Landlord.

[CombatRock]

Learn Forest Fire, its the best.

will do.

[Forest_Fire]

I learned forest fire yesterday....... amazing.

I learned the "Police Truck" bassline first,then learned it on guitar.

haha, the bassline is just


E | --0-0-3-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-3-0

[sketchyjoe]

It's great fun to play.

[Penaltyplaybass]

nice. good job on that

[antiflagsetsfire]

Worst band profile ever.

You're a duche

[guns_of_brixton]

I like Stars and Stripes, haven't listened to it in awhile.

Maybe during the summer I'll review all the DK albums for Sputnik and my own site.

I started a review for Frankenchrist and I'm nearly done... but yours would pwn mine.

I learned Soup is Good Food on guitar.

[dropkickstreetpunk]

the dead kennedys songs taht i know are: nazi punks, california uber alles, holiday in cambodia, kill the poor, police truck, mtv-get off the air. on guitar and bass.

[CombatRock]

I started a review for Frankenchrist and I'm nearly done... but yours would pwn mine.

are you just going to post it in this thread or some were else?

[Brain Toad]

I know:
Police Truck
Religious Vomit
Buzzbumb
Moon Over Marin
Terminal Preppie

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I have forgotten almpost all the DK songs I know. I might relearn them today.

[sketchyjoe]

I have forgotten almpost all the DK songs I know.
Me too but I don't have time to relearn them at the moment.

[CombatRock]

i never learend that much, and i dont have time. im currently learing the whole RATM s/t album.

[Jaw, Knee, B. Goode]

For some really good DK tabs check out http://www.stevestabs.cjb.net
There is an awesome tab for Kill the Poor and some others. Not a whole lot of songs because the guy stoped tabbing and didnt update often when he did.

[guns_of_brixton]

are you just going to post it in this thread or some were else?

I'll post it on Music Gypsy and possibly here.

[sketchyjoe]

My minm-review of FFFRV for the Top 100 is one of my favourite things I've written.

[Macdaddy]

Sorry if someone covered this in the 23 pages i cant be bothered to read...

but i read that he choose the name Jello Biafra because the U.S government in response to the famine in Biafra sent an aid package of jello.

Pretty sure its true as well.

[Aeaon]

Has anyone ever played When Ya Get Drafted on guitar? And how easy/hard is it?

[sketchyjoe]

He's claimed he chose it out of a notebook of possible names because he like the contrasting image of the two names of the corporate American product and the war town African country.

[Anxious]

We learned about Biafra in history. The country not the guy.

[guns_of_brixton]

Has anyone ever played When Ya Get Drafted on guitar? And how easy/hard is it?

It sounds pretty easy.

[metty16]

[guns_of_brixton]

If there is a tab I'll learn it now and tell you.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

It's easy. I made a really crappy tab up on mx, but it's probably the closest to correct.

[Aeaon]

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try.

[CombatRock]

We learned about Biafra in history. The country not the guy.

i learned about it as well. in my freshman world history, but its summer now, im not in school.

[Aeaon]

We learned about Biafra in history. The country not the guy.



I didn't even know it was a country too.

[sketchyjoe]

It wasn't a country for very long.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

You'd be surprised what other punk rock figure heads have taken their name from extinct countries. Danzig.

[guns_of_brixton]

It's easy. I made a really crappy tab up on mx, but it's probably the closest to correct.

Naw, its a good tab. I like how you said "use some sort of effect to get the evil sound".

And to whoever was asking, it's an easy song, I learned it in 5 minutes.

[CombatRock]

what song are yall talking about?

[guns_of_brixton]

When Ya Get Drafted

[Anxious]

You'd be surprised what other punk rock figure heads have taken their name from extinct countries. Danzig.
Thats about the extent of it. Or is it?

[sketchyjoe]

Dboon was a small island off Malta. Strummer was merged into Croatia when Yugoslavia broke up. Rollins was a small volcanic island that sunk beneath the waves after a particularly large eruption. HR was the old name for Eritrea.

[Anxious]

:lol: great.

[Jessizzle]

Since when? :( I could sworn there was only 2 others...

[Brain Toad]

Ever listen to Tumor Circus? It's a project Jello did with some guy and members of Steel Pole Tub (I think that's their name). It's kind of like Lard. If you haven't listened to either check them out.

Maybe I'll YSI the stuff from The Witchtrials, which is Jello and EBR doing some experiemental type stuff.

[Forest_Fire]

You should.

[Brain Toad]

Ever hear of the fake album called Jello with Plainfield when this crappy band called Plainfield made a band with a guy that sort of sounds like Jello to make fun of him? It is really bad.

[Brain Toad]

Dead Kennedys - The Witchtrials (http://s31.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=13UEM7I73HDAN0F6QP50FQDKVK)

01 - Humanoids from the Deep
02 - The Taser
03 - Trapped in the Playground
04 - Meat Beat

[Macdaddy]

dont wont too sound cocky but im pretty sure im right.

[CombatRock]

right about what?

[Forest_Fire]

Has anyone else noticed that the song "Riot" is amazing?

[Let's Chop Cats!]

<-- Right here

[CombatRock]

Has anyone else noticed that the song "Riot" is amazing?

i have noticed almost all DK songs are amazing.

[Gnarmageddon]

I love it.

So tonight I heard Boysetsfire's cover of "Holiday In Cambodia". It was actually really good.

[Brain Toad]

Riot is really great. Live versions are really good too, it gets extended a lot.

[CombatRock]

NP-Chemical Warfare.


Crazy, crazy, crazy crazy crazy....

[sketchyjoe]

Chemical Warfare is one of my favourite DK songs.

[CombatRock]

same here, i like towards the end when everyone is screaming and what not. its kind of errie though.

[sketchyjoe]

The waltz section is awesome.

[RazorsInTheNight]

Chemical Warfare is one of my favourite DK songs.

123. Chemical Warfare chemical warfare chemical warfare warfare warfare.

only song i skip on FFFRV is Kill the Poor, i dont like that song for some reason.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

i love that song, i agree with Joe i think, great album

[RazorsInTheNight]

In God We Trust Inc>FFFRV>Plastic Surgery Disasters>Bedtime For Democracy>Frankenchrist>Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death

[sketchyjoe]

FFFRV>PSD=F=IGTWI>GMCOGMD>BTD

That's the real order.

[Brain Toad]

Did anybody download The Witchtrials?

[RazorsInTheNight]

Bedtime is a better album than most people make out, of course no FFFRV but it does have some great tracks.

[Brain Toad]

I like some tracks on it, maybe its because I don't own it on CD I don't appreciate it as much. I need to order soon I think, since Rasputin never has it.

[RazorsInTheNight]

Did anybody download The Witchtrials?

What size is it? If it is too big I would prefer to download it off soulseek.

[Brain Toad]

What size is it? If it is too big I would prefer to download it off soulseek.

Not too big, only 4 tracks.

[Anxious]

I can't find Frankenchrist on cd, thats the only one.

[metty16]

I saw it at my local HMV today. It was 24$ though

[RazorsInTheNight]

Not too big, only 4 tracks.

If the link is still fresh I will download it tonight.

[Forest_Fire]

Did anybody download The Witchtrials?

I was going to, but it's a RAR file. :(


Next time I see bedtime for democracy, I'm going to buy it so my collectioin of their studio albums will be complete.

And then I'll start the hunt to be a bootleg whore like nick

[Biscuit_box]

I think FFFRV is their best album.
I must get some bootlegs of their shows. I only have GMCOGMD. It's good but i heard the bootlegs are better ( from Nick )

[sketchyjoe]

[stifflittlefingers]

Who else agrees that Chicken**** Conformist is a great song?

[Let's Chop Cats!]

<--- this guy

[guns_of_brixton]

I love the bass in it.

Riot is awesome, and so are all of their longer songs.

Stars and Stripes of Corruption remains my favorite.

[(A)Jonny(E)]

I'm seeing them on the 24th.

[TheJackOfHearts]

Riot is awesome, and so are all of their longer songs.

Stars and Stripes of Corruption remains my favorite.I don't like SASOC so much. It sounds like a spoken word over an instrumental rather than a song.

[[Minuteflag]]

I don't like SASOC so much. It sounds like a spoken word over an instrumental rather than a song.
Well Jello said Dead Kennedys was just spoken word with a wall of noise behind him. I read that in an interview about a year ago.

[TheJackOfHearts]

']Well Jello said Dead Kennedys was just spoken word with a wall of noise behind him. I read that in an interview about a year ago.
But it's not though.

[[Minuteflag]]

But it's not though.
Ya I've never thought of them that way.

[Brain Toad]

Jello did Stars and Stripes without music on one of his spoken word.

[Asharak]

DK are one of my favorite bands of all time, I love Riot, that song always gets me amped up. I would love to have seen them live, Jello put so much energy into his shows.

[TheJackOfHearts]

I can't stop listening to Dreadlocks of the Suburbs.

[Brain Toad]

I wish that song made it to an album.

[CombatRock]

Score.

i went to a record store while in north texas on vacation. and i got 2 DK vinyls, Frankinchirst and Plastic Surgery Diaster. for $9 each, they also had allot of Jello Biafra and the Melvins but didnt have enough money for another record.

[Anxious]

sweet

[Anxious]

I just discovered 1978 demos.

[sketchyjoe]

Dreadlocks of the Suburbs is my favourite song from there.

[Anxious]

Ya its the best on it, trhe others are just slowed down version of fresh fruit stuff.

[MSJ]

I was just wondering...Was it Ted or Peligro who played drums on "Too drunk..."?

[Anxious]

I think Peligro, but youll have to wait for a DK expert to answer.


Welcome to mx

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Yeah it's DH.

[MSJ]

OK and thanks for the welcome :cool:

[CombatRock]

I'm seeing them on the 24th.

i suppose you meant of June, if so how did it go?

[gude]

NP - Funland at the beach.
took me a little time to get into the song, but now i really love it.

"Human hamburger no!!" Great

[sketchyjoe]

I've been playing and singing along to Moon Over Marin all day.

[CombatRock]

all i need is In God We Trust Inc. and i have every DK album (not encluding live things and best of. stuff)

[guns_of_brixton]

I've been playing and singing along to Moon Over Marin all day.

Me too, on guitar.

[sketchyjoe]

Bass is more fun.

I play the way god intended. One string at a time.

[CombatRock]

bass > guitar anyday.

(A)Jonny(E). tell us about DK when you saw them on the 24th!

[POINTLESS5448]

i was going to see them on the 25th but i didnt have a ride or money. plus it was at respectable street and that place blows. it wouldnt be the same anyway without jello.

[Brain Toad]

I have a bootleg of the new DK, and the new singer is horrible, don't know if it is Cruz or Penalty though.

[AIRIC]

I would still go see them.

[CombatRock]

i plan on seeing them if they come to texas. just to see klaus,ray and i suppose DH is drumming.

[guns_of_brixton]

Bass is more fun.

I play the way god intended. One string at a time.

One string at a time? What about the Riot bassline?

And if we're on the subject of guitars and such, then I have to say Ray>all.

[Anxious]

I learned pick style just so I could play Riot.

[guns_of_brixton]

Riot isn't very hard. I'm a guitarist and its really easy to play on bass.

[Anxious]

It isnt. But if you've been playing fingerstyle forever, its hard using a pick.

[guns_of_brixton]

I found it the other way around, I'm still not very good with my fingers.

[Excursions]

I really like Jello with DOA on Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors. DOA are one of my favourite hardcore bands and with Jello it's such a great mix.

[Brain Toad]

Jello is doing a second album with The Melvins as I just read in the recent AT newsletter.

[Excursions]

Sounds interesting, Never Breathe What You Can't See was not bad although only 8 tracks long. Enchanted Thoughtfist and Plethysmograph were my favourite songs.

[RCVA]

Holiday in Cambodia is an awesome song.

[Berserker!]

It's not their best. From FFFRV I prefer California Uber Alles and Kill The Poor especially.

[RCVA]

Yes. Kill the Poor is probably better but i downloaded Holiday in Cambodia before and have listened to that more.

[sketchyjoe]

Chemical Warfare and Kill The Poor are my favourites on FFFRV.

[gude]

Jello is doing a second album with The Melvins as I just read in the recent AT newsletter.

Yeah!
Never breath what you can´t see is an awesome album. It´s so bad that i missed them last monday in cologne.

[OneDollarHitman]

I just went to a Dead Kennedy's how last week. That was the best show I have ever been to. So much energy, so many punks. Jeff Penalty in my opinion is just as good as Jello. He was energetic, political and he didnt need a 3 foot hawk to prove he was who he was. Im not dissing the hawks but I think its ****ing awesome when a band can just look normal and play there ****ing punk rock.

[OneDollarHitman]

I have a bootleg of the new DK, and the new singer is horrible, don't know if it is Cruz or Penalty though.

If it is penalty you are a ****ing retard. He is good.

[sketchyjoe]

Penalty's whole persona is just a watered-down version of Jello's.

[CombatRock]

I just went to a Dead Kennedy's how last week. That was the best show I have ever been to. So much energy, so many punks. Jeff Penalty in my opinion is just as good as Jello.

so its worth seeing them i take it. what songs did they play. and does Jeff sound anything like Jello?

[Anxious]

does Jeff sound anything like Jello?
noone sounds like jello

[Excursions]

noone sounds like jello

I love your avatar :)

I would go and see DK if the chance came around with or without Jello. While he is a huge part of the band I would still like to see the rest of the core members.

[Aeaon]

I didn't know they started playing shows again.

[Clashed]

Yah. I caught them in Anahiem, 1 or 2 months ago. Offical date for the show was moved, as they didn't give a reason at the door, some fans would scream out "Jello wouldn't do this to us!" I laughed.

Later found out it was cuz of Ray's family.

I agree, Penalty is as good Jello. He won't be able to do the same, but decent. Great show and energy. Sick pit, with sicker fans.

[CombatRock]

what songs did they play?

[Rise Me Up]

I wouldn't go see them just because Jello,to me,IS DK.

[Clashed]

Mmm I dunno. I don't remember the whole set list. But eh:
Holiday In Cambodia
Viva Las Vegas
**** Off Nazi Punk(got hit hard in the pit on that one...poor nose of mine :'()
Kill The Poor

Eh the usual, good hits. Great show none the less.

[CombatRock]

any songs off of FFFRV?

[Clashed]

Mmm I dunno. I don't remember the whole set list. But eh:
Holiday In Cambodia
Viva Las Vegas
**** Off Nazi Punk(got hit hard in the pit on that one...poor nose of mine :'()
Kill The Poor

Eh the usual, good hits. Great show none the less.


Pretty much the whole tracklist, not including a couple.

[CombatRock]

awesome. i hope the play Corpus Christi Tx, they did a couple of years go.

[OneDollarHitman]

so its worth seeing them i take it. what songs did they play. and does Jeff sound anything like Jello?

Hell yeah its worth seeing. He sounded kinda like jello but he had as much energy as jello and he was crowd surfing just as jello would do. He was comical. They played all the classics my friend: Kill the Poor, holiday in cambodia, Nazi punks **** off, Chemical Warfare, MTV Get off the air and more..more.. They came out for three encores. They played alot. Jeff Penalty i thought anyways was really good.

[Brain Toad]

I wonder if they will show their faces in the Bay Area...

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I don't see how anyone could say Jeff is as good as Jello.

[CombatRock]

I wonder if they will show their faces in the Bay Area...
would you go see them?

[Brain Toad]

Probably not, mainly because its extreamly hard for me to get to SF where shows are, but if I was able to and it wasn't expensive, I would.

[CombatRock]

in 02 i belive. they played in Corpus Chrisiti which is only 2 hours away from my house and the place they played out is right in the heart of downtown so it would have been easy to find. but i didnt listen to DK in 02.

[Brain Toad]

in 02 they had Cruz, who is was really horrible, he is the one in the bootleg I have.

[CombatRock]

you havent heard Penatly, am i correct?

[Brain Toad]

Nope, never heard him. Not as many bootlegs of newer stuff as there is old stuff, at least what I can find.

[(A)Jonny(E)]

Being a huge DK fan I made my way down to florida to see them play with new vocalist Jeff Penalty of stupid ferrets fame. They really blew me away, I was expecting penalty to let me down but he sounded painfully similar to Jello.

When they first came out, most of the crowd boo'd him and threw vegetables, but once they actually got into the set everyone seemed to forget that they were supposed to hate him.

Although seeing the original Dead Kennedys would've been a lot better, I figured I'd let everyone know that they're still definately worth checking out.

Klaus is so ****ing old, and east bay ray looks like McJagger.

[Anxious]

He sounds like Jello?

[AK47]

Cool maybe all the people who suck Jello's dick will realize that he's not that great and can be replaced.

[Scabies]

He does actually well sound like Jello and i thought he was really good live.

[Culture Shock]

Jello should never have been replaced and the band should have ended when it did. Either way, do they still play the classics?

[guns_of_brixton]

What did they end the show with?

[Penaltyplaybass]

I read the first 6 pages to see if i could find the answer there, but i gave up.

How did they get the name Dead Kennedys? Does it have anything to do with JFK?

DK is awesome, i like FFFRV. Jello is one of my favorite and most influential singers.

[Anxious]

My guess is to be offensive.

[Brain Toad]

I read the first 6 pages to see if i could find the answer there, but i gave up.

How did they get the name Dead Kennedys? Does it have anything to do with JFK?

DK is awesome, i like FFFRV. Jello is one of my favorite and most influential singers.

Just an offensive name I guess, because the Kennedys do die off pretty fast.

[Penaltyplaybass]

ah...ok. Personally, if i wanted to offend people, i'd call it the Dead Presidents/ Deap Popes/ Dead Celebrity.

But they're more awesome than me, so theyre name is better.

[Kepone-Factory]

I read somewhere that nobody in the band actually came up with the name..

a friend of theirs came up with "dead kennedys."

[Kepone-Factory]

ohhh and I got "dead kennedys" tickets for the London Ontario show august 11th..should be quite interesting.


to anyone whos attended one of these reunion shows..

what are the set-lists like?

[(A)Jonny(E)]

They ended the set with bleed for me, they played just about everything off of plastic surgery disasters and FFFRV and Too drunk to ****.

They even played tallahassee uber-alles because it was in florida.

Great set, they play all oldies by the way.

[sketchyjoe]

I read the first 6 pages to see if i could find the answer there, but i gave up.

How did they get the name Dead Kennedys? Does it have anything to do with JFK?

DK is awesome, i like FFFRV. Jello is one of my favorite and most influential singers.Lots of Kennedys die it seems. There's been talk of a 'curse'.

[Kepone-Factory]

I want to see them play man with the dogs.

[Anxious]

I doubt they would do that song.

[ScuzzBucket89]

If i had to pick 1 song to see DK play it would have to be Holliday in Cambodia (possibly my favorite song of all time)

[Brain Toad]

I wonder if they do Rawhide. Or if people still call out Rawhide at shows.

[(A)Jonny(E)]

I got to get on stage and sing holiday in cambodia,

and yes, they play rawhide.

[guns_of_brixton]

Did they play any Frankenchrist stuff?

[Kepone-Factory]

Did they play any Frankenchrist stuff?

this could be anywhere..would be awesome to see live.

[Anxious]

I got to get on stage and sing holiday in cambodia,

that would be a dream come true for me.

[LedZeppFan83]

Yeah, my friend got me into The Dead around the middle of my Freshman yr. in high school and I really like them. I really like the songs "Box of Rain" and "Fire On The Mountain".

[CombatRock]

are you talking about Gratefull Dead?

my dream would be to sing Chemical Warfare with DK.

[Brain Toad]

Are you retarded?

[RCVA]

I've just read two threads in succession where you ask "Are you retarded?" Hahaha.

There seems to be a lot around at the moment.

[Biscuit_box]

I just got Mutiny On The Bay. Brilliant, just brilliant. And from the previous page i don't think anybody could replace Jello Biafra. That would be like saying now "Oh sure we could get someone to replace Johnny Cash". It would just never be the same

[Cheap-Sex]

I could do one of these on pennywise.

[sketchyjoe]

I could do one of these on pennywise.
But unlike Pennywise, DK actually make good music.

[upright]

Are you retarded?
:lol:

what joe said.

[Brain Toad]

You could do a band profile (if it hasn't already been done) but you can't make an official thread. Official threads are mod-sanctioned and are for bands who have tons of threads on them constantly.

[Kepone-Factory]

I'd like to see someone do an against me! profile.

[Brain Toad]

Profiles are listed in the rules

[Kepone-Factory]

awesome..excuse my ignorance.

[CombatRock]

its excused. im hooked on Jock-o-rama. i really dig the lyrics.

[Brain Toad]

I am bumping this because of the recent discussion in the community thread.

I am now listening to a 16 minute live version of Riot.

If anybody wants some DK bootlegs, come on SLSK. I may be able to YSI some, but I can't guarntee it.

I would also love anyone if they had The Early Years DVD and the DMPOs On Broadway DVD and could upload it or share on slsk.

[CombatRock]

if you YSI i promise to never miss spell a word again? (me dont have this thing called "slsk")

[Brain Toad]

I'll put up a list of them, with tracklistings and you see which you want, and I'll try to YSI it. Eventually maybe they will all get YSI'd. I do suggest getting SLSK though.

[Brain Toad]

http://www.musicgypsy.com/misc/dk.htm

There is a list.

I didn't put the two "official" live albums, but I have those too.

[guns_of_brixton]

My computer has been f'ucked up lately so I won't be on Soulseek :upset:.

And when I was camping I basically listened to In God We Trust the whole time. I love it.

[Brain Toad]

Also, I have the three DK tribute albums if anyone wants those
Virus 100 Tribute
What Were We Fighting For, A Tribute to Dead Kennedys
In Dub We Trust (Dub Tribute to Dead Kennedys) <-- this is electronic dub, not jamician dub

Also have all of Jello's side project albums.


I have a feeling I may be doing a lot of YSI.

[Brain Toad]

I'm like the DK version of Andy, except with better English.

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm like the DK version of Andy, except with better English.

And with a penis, I hope. I think as far as Clash material goes, I have the most out of anyone here though.

Religious Vomit is such a f.ucking great song... did Jello write it? And did he write Moral Majority, because neither one seems very Jello-ish...?

He wrote Moral Majority, 6025 wrote Religious Vomit, which is my favourite DK song.

[guns_of_brixton]

It may be my new favorite.

Did Klaus write any DK songs?

[Brain Toad]

He wrote the words to Dog Bite

[guns_of_brixton]

Awesome, I love Dog Bite.

But wait... was 6025 still in the band by In God We Trust?

[Brain Toad]

6025 was in the band for the first 3 albums I think. He might not've been around for PSD.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

He left at around '79 (someone posted an interview with EBR who explains it all). He wanted to go in a different direction with the music (as you can tell through such songs as Ill in the Head or Gaslight), so he left.

[Brain Toad]

He is disabled now as well.

[hookers_with_herpes]

Anyone have the recent (I think it was either early this year or last year) Jello/The Melvins release? I've got some of it on my comp, not sure if it is worth $15 yet.

The stuff he did with Mojo Nixon is just amazing, I love that sh*t. But the ultimate is the one time No WTO Combo, I wish I can find the recording for that.

[_JR]

i bought fffrv in february and it hasnt left my cd player yet

[Brain Toad]

My download of DMPOs On Broadway DVD is is 50%, this will take awhile. And I'm not YSIing that because of its massive size.

The Jello/Melvins album is good stuff. I never bought the CD though, I should.

No WTO Combo is awesome, I have that on my computer. AT may still sell copies, but I doubt it.

You can buy the No WTO Combo album here: http://alternativetentacles.com/product.php?product=348

Here is some Jello news:

06/15/05: Jello and Napalm Death duet for tsunami victims!
Jello Biafra has guest vocals on the Napalm Death song, "The Great And The Good" on their brand new record, "The Code is Red... Long Live the Code"!

The tune was also released as a limited-edition 3 band benefit single for Indian Ocean Tsunami relief . The other two tracks are from The Haunted ("Smut King") and Heaven Shall Burn ("Strassenkampf" [a Die Skeptikercover]). The bands and Jello Biafra wrote liner-notes for the single, which is limited to 1000 copies.

I'm downloading the album, the track should be interesting.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Nick YSI it the song. I listened to part of that ND album a while ago.

[Brain Toad]

I shall, once it finishes.

It doesn't seem like it would match. Jello's voice with grind/death metal/whatever ND is now

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Yeah, I'm assuming it's just group vocals he happens to be in.

[Brain Toad]

http://s23.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3EU6WLQURNHLU1DXN96SJY0G52

There it is.

I listened to it and it was good. He does the introduction plus some chrous vocals. It's quite odd to hear his voice mixed in with the chaotic noise ND make.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

I like this song. I can't hear Jello in the song, unless I haven't got to him yet, err there he is.

[Brain Toad]

Yeah he is later on, and it's pretty obvious when it is him.

[guns_of_brixton2]

I'm sure this has been pointed out but Peligro is a way better drummer than Ted, or whoever drummed on Fresh Fruit.

DH is much faster. I don't know much about drumming, but I'd go as far as saying you are correct.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea. He made the music sound a ton heavier too.

[Brain Toad]

DH did some background vocals for some of the songs I saw on the DMPOs on Broadway DVD.

PS. The DVD is awesome.

[Forest_Fire]

DMPO's?


p.s. Of course it is. How could a DK dvd not be awesome?

[Brain Toad]

DMPO was the sponser or something. Or just a group of bands that played that final show, I'm not sure.

Jello's acting school shows on stage with his hand movements and acting out songs.

This is a pretty good interview with Peligro. I never knew he was in the Chilli Peppers and they played Police Truck live.

Here is three versions of Dreadlocks of the Suburbs if anyone wants them

Mark Prindle is the ****ing man. Good interviews on his site.

Four more years of the same old garbage! Why don't we just instill the draft for some of the Republicans' kids? All the people who voted for him - why don't THEY go to war? And their kids go to war? So they can get to feel what it's like?-DH, Thats a very good quote.

[Misfit_Fiend]

I was just listening to I fought The Law (And I Won) And Viva Las Vegas both great punk covers. I was wondering who else is a Big DK fan?

[Shtein]

Everyone here.
