Zomby Woof - Stevenson is killer. Top notch punk drummer for sure, but not quite on the same level as the other 3 aforementioned. If I had said “top 5” instead of “top 3”, then Stevenson would have easily placed at #4. My #5 pick would be Richard “Skitchblade” Katchadoorian from the original lineup of Shattered Faith. Not very well known, but he had the stuff. He was killed in a really nasty car accident in 1981, before he really got a chance to make a name for himself.
@@Brewzerr I'm not familiar with Stickblade but I think Bill's every bit as good as Lucky, another favorite of mine. Chuck is damn good too. Familiar with him via DOA.
This is still how I envision NYC. I was on a business trip to NYC last year and it was all clean and gentrified. No longer the dirty Time Square festooned in smut, junkies, and burning cars in the Bronx. I was so disappointed ☹️
Are you f'ing kidding me? What part of the city were you in, CT? The last time I was in Manhattan I "literally" smelled overwhelming garbage and urine in an unending stench, and this was all in a "nice" part of UES. There is nothing tolerable about NYC in the 2020s.
Spit Stix was, and still is just a monster fucking drummer. One of the greatest punk drummers of all time - right up there with Rat Scabies, Chuck Biscuits, Lucky Lehrer, and Bill Stevenson.
plenty of bands like fear still around and thriving, just gotta actually look for them and if there's not enough for you, well you could always just make your own you know
People that moved to New York from the Midwest just so they could post “ Lives in Manhattan” on F.B No matter what your fake friends tell you, your art is sub par at best. Deal With It!
@@nathanlh81 no, Lee Ving. 1 you're thinking of Footloose. 2 Lee played the slimy strip club owner whose club was across the street from the one where the heroine of the story worked.
I didn't see any here in the comments... hahahah CZcams probably flagged em. I'm a fag and I've always loved this song and Fear... That intro makes me love em EVEN MORE! NATIVE NEW YORKER HERE that part (and my rock musician part) of me BY FAR overshadows my sexual proclivities
Ah, ok. Looks like he/she heard you then. Yeah, I’m pretty sure this was 1982. Maybe late ‘81. I just remember seeing this when it aired on NWT, and that was definitely in ‘82.
Yeah, New Wave Theater used to show so many great bands. They always used all these weird graphics during the live clips and the host was Peter Ivers - the guy who originally recorded “In Heaven Everything is Fine” for the movie Eraserhead. He would always ask the bands all these silly metaphysical questions, and he got more than he bargained for with Lee Ving here, haha! Ivers was murdered on the street shortly after this, and the show came to a halt.
"New York's alright if you want to be pushed in front of a subway."
Facts.
Classic New York.
It's also alright if you wanna freeze to death.lol
Ah... beat me to it.
This band was a genius !!!
No one can deny spit stix great drumming!
amazing
One of the top 3 greatest West Coast punk drummers of all time... alongside Chuck Biscuits and Lucky Lehrer.
Whoa@@Brewzerr. You forget Bill Stephenson from the Descendents and Black Flag.

Give it a few months. You'll get your wish.
Come back to Diblasio's NYC. You'll get your fill of all that now.

I can't lie. The burning cars part sounds fucking awesome.
okay so you just haven't been to a bad part of NYC recently lmfao
it's still just as awful as it's always been, probably even worse in parts

Mackie Jayson is right up there too. And Troy Mowat.
@@danielkrall6501 D.H. Peligro?
lol what cool names they had
First comment... Fear the record was one of the best punk albums ever !!!
StarletAndTheHoods more beer is just as good. Maybe even better
@@meanjoe4299 if you're a homosexual
the best the last and forever...
who cares?
He'll yeah. I was a kid.
stix is such a beast on drums
Top contender for best live version. It’s got everything. I loved this show.
God damn! The energy from those drums makes me want to break shit!!
Easily fear's best song.
Flagged for saxual content
homosaxual
Dude the drummer holds it down 🤙
Spit Stix is one of the best rock drummers, period.
We really could use a band like FEAR these days
why? dont be so fucking bored, if you want a band like that, do it, stop dreaming
Fear is still around....
plenty of bands like fear still around and thriving, just gotta actually look for them
and if there's not enough for you, well you could always just make your own you know
Start one.
Find me a warehouse to practice in. I'll be the drummer
The drummers fucking incredible. Great band
Gotta Love a Fine Philly opera singer. Dials it down pretty nicely.
First time I heard this song I couldn't stop laughing.. immediately thought of saxophone guy from lost boys #stillbelieve
Spit Strix absolutely controlling the pace with deadly accuracy
New Yorks alright if you like ....
best music for a party loca con tu banda the freaks fear
important epic ballad! Revel!
Classic!
The competent sax playing kills this version for me.
cause you are gay
What did Lee Ving say about the hosts in the beginning?
I've been trying to figure that one out for 40 years, yo

Deal With It!
Moved from Midwest to NYC = moved from boring safety to the infected diseased anus of the universe.
Play on 1.5x.
The most known unknown
ask me something i can answer. 🤟
Look it's the guy from flashdance
Kevin Bacon?
@@nathanlh81 no, Lee Ving. 1 you're thinking of Footloose. 2 Lee played the slimy strip club owner whose club was across the street from the one where the heroine of the story worked.
LOL!
Who’s the guy in the tuxedo that introduces Peter Ivers?
I just remember they called him ‘Zachary’. No last name. He was also the singing telegram guy in the movie ‘Du-Beat-E-O’.
Wtf are the filthy lowlives who downthumbed this?!
People who don't like the song.
New yorkers
ahh peter ivers ,,,,,,,
lee ving is definately older here than he was in 1981
Stick Feller Nooo, really?
Yeah, by one whole year. This aired in 1982.
1981 was a rough year
No way!?
If you like saxophones...
This is more like 1983 or so
‘82 actually.
Progressives now coming after Ving for that homosexual line...
I didn't see any here in the comments... hahahah CZcams probably flagged em.
I'm a fag and I've always loved this song and Fear... That intro makes me love em EVEN MORE!
NATIVE NEW YORKER HERE
that part (and my rock musician part) of me BY FAR overshadows my sexual proclivities
Sadly, Lee Ving re-recorded the first album and made it PC. He removed the homosexual line from the song.
GOD I hate saxophones
not 79
Who said this was 1979?
The videos title used to say 79. The video uploader changed it recently
Ah, ok. Looks like he/she heard you then. Yeah, I’m pretty sure this was 1982. Maybe late ‘81. I just remember seeing this when it aired on NWT, and that was definitely in ‘82.
Thats awesome! I love seeing rare footage of FEAR myself. Im glad someone out there know the real date when this came out

New yorks al right if you're a homosexual
No it isn't.
Only like 🎷 saxophones at midnight when the neighbors are jamming out and the window is open 👐🏿 and its otherwise very quiet. 😊❤🗣️🔊😎🎩🫂👌🏿😆😁😎❤️🩹📢
NY definitely 💯 not " alright" anymore 😔🗣️💀🪖
Anyone think Trent Reznor might have paid homage to the drum intro of this song on March of the Pigs?
No
