I love the bass line in this song...There isn't much I don't like in Fugazi Land. But this bass line in particular...peculiar melody that haunts..very nice. Thank you Fugazi.
The song that got Me into FUGAZI! Thanks , Paul Ludi Moore! I love you , Brother . You loaned Me their album when We were kids , and I’ve been a fan for life .
I love this song. A friend and I spent what seems like beautiful years driving around listening to Fugazi. Saw Fugazi live once in a very very hot small venue; one of the best shows I've ever seen.
it dont really matter at all. The only thing that matters to me is that Fugazi made some outstanding music over the years and should be a role model for every "band" out there. They're not my favorite band but they're the band i admire the most. I just cant say a bad word about their music and attitude. Hope they can influence some other people too, specially to create a social awareness that we people of the world and our governments seem to lack.
Hands down my favorite Fugazi song, ever since the first time a close friend played it for me. Decades ago now. Still listen to, watch and play the bass line on my parts Stingray for the regular (at least 2x a week). He had no idea (and how could he?) that day how staple of a part in my life this song would become. I didn't even play bass at that time . . . .
I love instrument, definitely one of the greatest music documentary of all time documenting one of the greatest bands of all time. I like the 'I saw you eating ice cream' part
@ JTrainDowntown I agree, I think people just need to stop thinking about what genre Fugazi are or aren't and concentrate on what matters; that Fugazi are one of the best bands in history and that's that. Nothing else matters.
To all those putting each other down, Ian and Fugazi were highly against that kind of behaviour - respect each other and respect the music, be positive.
shame fugazi aint touring for a while cos i got into em about 6 months ago and was blowen away by all these live clips and thought man id love to see em
you never see that in any recent bands the drums are generic and the bass is drowned out in most of these 'so-called' punks bands like sum 41 or fob fugazi is one of the most inspiring and creative bands i've ever heard
I just had to comment this one more time. If there had to be a modern version of fugazi, it would definitely have to be Polar Bear Club. Those of you who actually grew up listening to Fugazi, you'd be happy to see how PBC are doing things.
The problem with the term emo is today it's used to like classify a style of music like fall out boy or panic at the disco. like nandric says it's just about confessing your emotions and stuff. It's like when we say a band is prog rock, usually meaning lots of guitar effects, spacey sound. but really prog rock means progressive in that it pushes the boundaries of music bringing new ideas to the table.
I think someone implied that Jello Biafra was employed by US intelligence. Man, you're either crazy or a genius as that's the best idea I've ever heard for a sitcom.
It's a long time coming, It's a long way down, It's long division, Crack and divide. This is a parting, Some separation, We lay in pieces, Cracked to survive. I'm not your villain, Not your adversary, I'm not your reason to crack and divide. It's long division, Crack and divid
@morfcode It is interesting when you consider how different the punk music world was when Fugazi started as a band(1987). They were viewed as this new fusion of funk, go go, punk and post-punk. Yeah, such a great band. So much of early to mid- nineties post hardcore owes a huge debt to them.
Mathcore has some brilliant brilliant stuff going, progressive rock and metal too, there's electronic stuff that blows my mind over and over again and ambient tune makes that never stop amazing me, so all I see in your coment is that you'r not looking (listening) enough. Go, explore!
@rigneyclan It really doesn't matter what you call them. They have, and always will ROCK. We don't need words to describe these bands. We just need to enjoy them for what they were - fucking ROCKASAURUS REX.
@davidmorash Yeah i have been listening to Ian since the 80's saw fugazi in New Paltz, NY! back then i would go to concerts every weekend if not more!!!
@MDMAdxmTHC Joy Division was punk with goth tendencies.... Early Joy Division was all punk, raw, aggressive..........then they turned dark as Ian's depression took hold. This is the essence of Joy Division.
I enjoy the camera work in this video. So much better than most of the Fugazi vids here shot with someone's cheap handycam. Btw, 'johnnyconsumer', you don't understand Fugazi because you are too simple-minded. They haven't pulled any wool over anyone's eyes.
the whole genre discussion here I understand what you people mean, but I'm a student (music manager)and the fact is people need genres , people need to know what a band sounds like cause otherwise they won't buy it and genres are very important in the music business (promoters,... they all want to know what you play)if there weren't any genres and someone would come up to me with a lady gaga album and say it's just "good" music i would buy it (now I don't) btw there are indeed to many genres
Yes it is. Strangely, I still don't know how did that modern emo movement (trend ?) start to call itself emo. I remember Fugazi, Rites of Spring being called indie, post-hardcore - and 'emo' was mostly the word describing the stage acts style. I stayed with hc and thrash, but bands like Fugazi will always bring back the best memories. Someone explain please - how come do present 'emos' look like goths sometimes ? Does it connects somehow nowadays ?
I've been following Fugazi for the 15 years or so. I think their music is brilliant. The thing that makes me laugh is that they're so anti stage diving etc (maturity I guess). Have you seen the early Minor Threat footage. Pure Carnage!!!!
I love the bass line in this song...There isn't much I don't like in Fugazi Land. But this bass line in particular...peculiar melody that haunts..very nice.
Thank you Fugazi.
Very Joy Division
very post-punk joy division baseline. Only just heard this one so those are my initial thoughts.
Joe Lolly was the man. Would barely move and crank out such groovy/weird/fitting parts. One of the great bass players of the 90’s
Oh my God it’s the teenage dirtbag
Fugazi is one of the most emotional bands i've ever seen. it brings out crazy feelings and thoughts. close your eyes, and listen.
The band changes my life.
Same
same g
The same here. They changed mine and still do
Fuckin' well said.
Totally agree .
The song that got Me into FUGAZI! Thanks , Paul Ludi Moore! I love you , Brother . You loaned Me their album when We were kids , and I’ve been a fan for life .
i dont think fugazi had any idea of how much skill they really had
they were sound architects
Oh, Ian knew.
@@justinkline1294 they were so passed off that they were police good in a world of cavemen.
But this song is too slow
Yup. Fugazi were truly on their own back then. They totally blew me away. I wish music was as fresh to me today as it was in 1989.
fugazi is the pure esence of music, no major labels, DIY attitude, passion for experiment with music, and great live shows!
that extra ending in 5/4 is badass
I wish that was on the album
I love this song. A friend and I spent what seems like beautiful years driving around listening to Fugazi. Saw Fugazi live once in a very very hot small venue; one of the best shows I've ever seen.
This is one of the smallest yet so greatest songs ever!
Saw fugazi back in 2001 still one of the top 3 shows of my life for sure!!!
influenced me when i rode bmx. still listen to them 1991 to 2010
it dont really matter at all. The only thing that matters to me is that Fugazi made some outstanding music over the years and should be a role model for every "band" out there. They're not my favorite band but they're the band i admire the most. I just cant say a bad word about their music and attitude. Hope they can influence some other people too, specially to create a social awareness that we people of the world and our governments seem to lack.
This is a great song! His voice crawls in my skin...
Hands down my favorite Fugazi song, ever since the first time a close friend played it for me. Decades ago now.

the drummer is out of this world
I love instrument, definitely one of the greatest music documentary of all time documenting one of the greatest bands of all time. I like the 'I saw you eating ice cream' part
This is the same way Fugazi, Pavement, et all felt which is why they made this music. Goodbye, nostalgia. Hello, freedom.
I really hope they get back together this coming summer as anticipated!
I saw them in Londrina, city of Brazil.
That's awesome, too bad I was a fucking kid back then
Que incrível :)
It's that bell that makes this song so awesome
a friend of a friendrecorded fugazi in his DC studio many years ago....and they are still alive!
@ JTrainDowntown
I agree, I think people just need to stop thinking about what genre Fugazi are or aren't and concentrate on what matters; that Fugazi are one of the best bands in history and that's that. Nothing else matters.
i saw them back in early 90's ...still one of the best bands for pure dynamics in their sound ...its all good ....
No one gives steady diet its just dues, it's a solid album, and this is one of the gems of it.
To all those putting each other down, Ian and Fugazi were highly against that kind of behaviour - respect each other and respect the music, be positive.
my best band everrrrrrr
shame fugazi aint touring for a while cos i got into em about 6 months ago and was blowen away by all these live clips and thought man id love to see em
you never see that in any recent bands
the drums are generic and the bass is drowned out in most of these 'so-called' punks bands like sum 41 or fob
fugazi is one of the most inspiring and creative bands i've ever heard
Long Division, Bed for the Scraping, and The Kill. My three favorite Fugazi songs.
awesome song
I'm just gonna call this one of if not the most inspirational band I've ever heard.
I have always loved Ian Mackaye's voice. This is my favourite song from Fugazi.
I just had to comment this one more time.
If there had to be a modern version of fugazi, it would definitely have to be Polar Bear Club. Those of you who actually grew up listening to Fugazi, you'd be happy to see how PBC are doing things.
.....so good
that added riff at the end was well placed
oui je les ai vu en 1993 à paris et ce fut géant!du bon hardcore.toujours très intégre.
Been a long time coming, and a long way down..... in long division... crack, and divide...
i really dont think it matters what superficial categories/genres music falls into,music is art it creates different emotions in everybody.,
Reminds me of Joy Division
Haha no joke there. All of the music today is just screaming and no real words and syllables. Just solid screaming.
i just love watching u guys argued..
thanks for the post i haven't seen them play live since 92'
This is... incredibly awesome.
Fugazi... It's a limited and very special club
The problem with the term emo is today it's used to like classify a style of music like fall out boy or panic at the disco. like nandric says it's just about confessing your emotions and stuff. It's like when we say a band is prog rock, usually meaning lots of guitar effects, spacey sound. but really prog rock means progressive in that it pushes the boundaries of music bringing new ideas to the table.
A friend mentioned the possibility. I'll certainly be looking into it more and be there for sure if they do get back together!
I think someone implied that Jello Biafra was employed by US intelligence.
Man, you're either crazy or a genius as that's the best idea I've ever heard for a sitcom.
beautful song
Fugazi =GOAT
i dont care what fucking genre they are, the bass in this song is awesome
It's a long time coming,
It's a long way down,
It's long division,
Crack and divide.
This is a parting,
Some separation,
We lay in pieces,
Cracked to survive.
I'm not your villain,
Not your adversary,
I'm not your reason to crack and divide.
It's long division,
Crack and divid
awesome
great melodies
@morfcode It is interesting when you consider how different the punk music world was when Fugazi started as a band(1987). They were viewed as this new fusion of funk, go go, punk and post-punk. Yeah, such a great band. So much of early to mid- nineties post hardcore owes a huge debt to them.
your absolutely right.
God I miss this band!!!
basically one of the best bands ever.
cheers for the heads up
Mathcore has some brilliant brilliant stuff going, progressive rock and metal too, there's electronic stuff that blows my mind over and over again and ambient tune makes that never stop amazing me, so all I see in your coment is that you'r not looking (listening) enough. Go, explore!
the bell.. so badass
@rigneyclan
It really doesn't matter what you call them. They have, and always will ROCK. We don't need words to describe these bands. We just need to enjoy them for what they were - fucking ROCKASAURUS REX.
I've listened to every Cursive album and hell it's not emo, its more of art-rock inspired by 80's emo. Very good music.
Word the fuck up. Genres should never really stop someone from listening to something.
@davidmorash Yeah i have been listening to Ian since the 80's saw fugazi in New Paltz, NY! back then i would go to concerts every weekend if not more!!!
You're finally getting it!!! Love, the other 10%
love
holy shit best comment I've ever seen
just because Homer Simpson sings in the best band in history of rock an roll doesn't mean that the band is bad.
Love this song.
You really have to have an open mind to get this stuff :)
The awesome rhythm team of Canty and Lally!
This ain't no emo... this stuff ROCKS!!
great band
It will probably be on live series if you want to look for it.
well said!
@rigneyclan
I'm with you, THey're PUNK ROCK!!!
i love that bell part
greatest thrash metal band ever! Thrash metal rules.
@TheDouchesupreme Douche is in the house! :)
@MDMAdxmTHC Joy Division was punk with goth tendencies....
Early Joy Division was all punk, raw, aggressive..........then they turned dark as Ian's depression took hold.
This is the essence of Joy Division.
@rigneyclan Fugazi was an emo band, so was Rites of Spring. Though they're also post-hardcore, punk labels weren't as clearly defined back then.
A++
Stay true to the message.... it has nothing to do with EMO, or otherwise. Ian and the boys are messengers.....
I enjoy the camera work in this video. So much better than most of the Fugazi vids here shot with someone's cheap handycam.
Btw, 'johnnyconsumer', you don't understand Fugazi because you are too simple-minded. They haven't pulled any wool over anyone's eyes.
And Embrace! cant forget Embrace...
If you scare all your devils away, the angels will go away with them.
you yourself are effing up this experience by your command. its a command lets agree on it.
the whole genre discussion here
I understand what you people mean, but I'm a student (music manager)and the fact is people need genres , people need to know what a band sounds like cause otherwise they won't buy it and genres are very important in the music business (promoters,... they all want to know what you play)if there weren't any genres and someone would come up to me with a lady gaga album and say it's just "good" music i would buy it (now I don't)
btw there are indeed to many genres
I agree!
This makes me want to do some long division.
Such a damn good band. The bands of today should sit down and learn a few things from Fugazi.
Damnit, I would kill to see these mofos live. Fugazi forever, baby!
(And sorry you don't see it johnnyconsumer...this is some awesome music!!!)
aa looooongg diiiiviisiooon
Exactly
fugazi rules
I'm listening to this before I take my math final today!
Oh god 11 years
They are the only American punk band that ever made any sense to me.
Didn't know Joe played a jazz bass too, cool.
Welcome to your control.
Yes it is. Strangely, I still don't know how did that modern emo movement (trend ?) start to call itself emo.
