- Here's The Offspring from June 7, 1988 when they appeared on my public access tv show "Rockstock" performing the song Jennifer Lost The War.
a couple of things about this video:
1. This is NOT live, they lipsynced this perfomance to give us more editing options
2. I had some trouble sync my audio and video in some parts so it might look a little kung fu movie in some parts.
3. In hindsight we should have shot more than 4 angles but I seem to remember being under a time crunch. Anyway, I wanted to share this rare clip with the public, enjoy! - Hudba
Back when Dexter was the best student of the Cobra Kai dojo.
I thought the same HAHAHA xD
This made me lol
Lets go Jhonny xd!🤘🏻
you sir are the best
Jajajajajajaja
Such a recognizable voice!!! Long live Offspring
He has such a great voice
Dexter definetly lookin like a typical late 80s cali kid
me too
;)
kuma138 Yup. Loving this
He just looks like a late 80s kid in general, it is exactly my recollection of what the older junior high and high school kids looked like in 1989
TOO cute hahaha
He looks exactly like my dad when he was around that age but with blonde hair instead of red.
35 years later still one of my favorite Offspring songs
2024
Here we see the beginnings of the famous Greg K. bass sway.
I thought Noodles was Greg first, And was thinking wow he is really feeling playing I do not think that is Greg, then I saw the six strings and it all made sense lol
😂😂 Facts
Dexter just knew what he was doing right from the beginning (they all sound great) but man, his voice sounds bloody brilliant - particularly because he looks so young here as well
in my opinion its one of their best songs
No doubt
It was the first song of theirs i heard and i agree, definitely one of their best. I do prefer the album version over this though :P
This entire album is overlooked 100%, especially this song
@@halfsleepertv it was on Punk-0-Rama, was not overlooked
I completely agree.
This footage is crazy! Noodles was only 56 years young here
😂
Lol
OC punk. This was a one camera shoot and we shot several takes. I remember asking the band if they were going to fly in a tour about to start and Brian saying, "This is punk, we're not Bad Religion." Good times.
would love to see that interview
Tell me more, where did the music recording come from?
Live in the city of Orange. Some of my friends went to La Serna high school
unimaginative stories about which it is impossible to remain silent
man this is gold...
Damn, Ron Welty rocken a mullet!
I was then 4 years old kid in 1988.
The Offspring came familiar to
me in 1994. 👌😉
I discovered them back in 97 when I was 12. Changed my whole outlook on music.
Dexter sounds great.
Man, cannot believe I have never seen this before! Awesome to see such raw, and early, footage of this band, prior to them hitting it big with Smash in 1994 (even though I know they had 2 other albums out prior to that). Still love their Self Titled album, and especially, Ignition, probably even more so than Smash, but still gotta give it up for Smash, simply because Come Out And Play was my first introduction to this band. 1994 was a great f***ing year for music!!
Wow. They sound a lot better than I thought they would, considering how young they were.
About that.... He's lip-synching. Read the description.
***** Aw. Disappointing :/
cyric2010 Ikr. :\
moving your mouth to make it look like you are talking/singing, when the sound is actually coming from somewhere else.
I mean to be fair It's not like they were mega stars at this point so I doubt they could afford, in 1988, a rig to get a good live recording anyway. It's not like it is today where you can get stuff to get a good live recording for 500 bucks. Plus most bands lip sync their videos because of editing. I mean they could have been playing it and you just swap out the audio anyway. I'm not sure how many crisp recording there are of underground punk bands from the late 80's.
This is one of the best Offspring songs ever and they would continue that... They write sad songs with upbeat music...
sounds a little bit as SLF
dexter looked so young
coz he was
22 at the time - this was recorded 4 weeks before my birth :D
1988
@@tomastoth4018 That's an old man if you're 14/15....I quit playing in a band at 23 cos I was too old....that was after playing in bands for 12 years!
They are so young but they so clearly have it!
cool as hell to see a successful band in their very early days.... always loved these guys! Very cool!
Круто ! Они играли , когда меня ещё на свете не было , но я их люблю с 8 лет
Yeah! I hope you already saw that Rage Against the Machine performance at their school.
This song never gets old, even if this video is from the year I was born 😂
The Offspring are certainly a top band with a huge place in music history 🤘
I disagree with everything you’ve just claimed.
@itsMrNoble you can't "disagree" with my birth year 🤣 that is a fact.
You can "disagree" with the rest of it.
Although music historians will tell you how important The Offspring were in the early days of the pop/punk/rock scene and it's growth.
But yes "this song never gets old" is entirely my personal opinion.
Some bands are legendary from day one. Its just the way it is. these guys got that blessing without a single doubt.
No doubt, always loved the offspring, one of my favorite bands ever. The Self titled album from 1989 and Ignition from 1992 are definitely overlooked, Smash, Ixnay, Americana, are killer records as well.
"Beheaded" was on this ( self titled album also!)
You're probably one of the only people in the world who would call The Offspring legendary. They were a good band. There were much better ones. That's it.
@@_Listen_to_Solar_Kama_Sutra LMAO. There are way better bands. Derp.
@derrickdurbin1334 a lot of way better bands. So many that the list would be too long. If you listened to more music you'd find them. It's not hard to do. You must be pretty young or not a big music lover.
Some dope shot right here
I remember making a video like this with my band in highschool during a trip to Cedar Point amusement park. I could never imagine becoming a successful band and having it posted on CZcams 30 years later. What a trip life can be.
Do you have that video? Would be great to see
@@danielleaplaza2166 I do have it but I ain't posting it on CZcams. I get humiliated just thinking about it.
great lyrics
I love Dexter's voice. So iconic. And a smart dude that went to school. Nerds can rock baby🤘
You have a tin ear... he can't stay on key.
smart dude? didnt they boot a member for wanting to maintain bodily autonomy?
@@TheKitchenerLeslie On key?...its punk rock. Would be weird if it was...
@@mb9543 No it wouldn't. Johnny Rotten sang on key. You're just making excuses for your tin ear.

Совсем пацаны, но все по-взрослому уже!
Глотка у Холанда уже ревет! 😉
Музыка моей молодости, гуд!
30 years ago.... OMG. Fucking GOLDEN video
My best friend is Ron's Brother. I had a copy of the Nemesis Records original release on tape and must have worn that damn thing out. I remember them jamming in Ron's Garage while we skated out front.
Tien_Gouki must have been a great memory!
Woah..
Where is Ron now?
@@user-cs4bp5me5h He is just enjoying life. His Brother and Him are working on some music together
Awesome!!
The voice is traveling tru time. Never change
I worked concerts for years and can say 100% The Offspring were the nicest guys with the best crew ever. We were treated like kings. They had a lady who had a golf cart who’d shuttle us around the venue so we didn’t have to walk and she had drinks and snacks for free. We got to hang out backstage and rub shoulders with the band. And end of show they gave us each $600 cash and thanked us again and gave each of us a t shirt. One of my best memories of 2018 tbh.
Then, Taylor Swift.. her team and father had some really strange rules and you got the vibe she thought very highly of herself.. and her “fans” were a parent, with five spoiled little girls behind them on their phones being awful.. “dad, tell the guy I want to see all seven shirts in medium and small”
I never did a show for her again lol. To
Só, to an artist tô be Cool, the artist should wanna be your friend? Lol You ARE There for a job....Just do your job. TS its 100 times bigger than Offspring ever was even in its Peak, imagine How extensive must bê her Day? Imagine....

He's wearing a Descendants shirt! YES
wow, so nice video and song !!!

Jennifer lost the war.
Killed by John Kelly (her mother's 'boyfriend', back in 1986, in the summertime in Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada--where this very song was actually written.
Rest in Peace, little sweetheart.
Love,
Ian.
Devil's Offspring That's the actual story to this song? I've never really known how this song was written/what it's inspiration was, but I'm curious
@@idk2224 Wow, it's been a while, but yeah--as you've probably guessed by now, I have no evidence. But let's just say I was there when this song was being written, and so was my little friend Jennifer and leave it at that. This song isn't about Jennifer herself (my friend), it's mostly fictional.
Anyway, this song and video are actually older than 1988 because I watched the video on TV with Jennifer herself beside me on the sofa, and she was murdered in 1987.
increiblee
buenisimo tremendo video !
Very cool of you to share this.
I remember hearing this one one of the first Punkorama albums and immediately fell in love with this group.
Thank you very much for uploading this video!
=)
Amazing
Wow that's just too awesome!!!!
Wow ! Original line up ? Great to see , saw them in Birmingham couple weeks back they were amazing!!!!
Not completely original, but an early lineup. James was the original drummer in the Manic Subsidle and early Offspring days, Kevin (Noodles) wasn't original either but not sure when he joined the band. It's really interesting how shy Greg K was back in those days too.
Wow!, so young!
it’s really great to see this 🤘
Minha música preferida deles!!!
Oh i aint heard this in forever! the nostalgia!
My favorite band :)
Amazing!
