Fugazi: The Path of Most Resistance
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 09. 2019
- Over the years Fugazi have achieved this almost mythic status. These paragons of punk ethic. That through Dischord and their business practices took DIY independence to its absolute pinnacle. The band that were super-serious straight-edge vegans that didn't even use heating in winter. The band that never said yes. While their politics and ethics were super important, more than that they were a band that changed things. Post-hardcore, as flimsy a signifier as it is, was the house Fugazi built. At the Drive In, Refused, Glassjaw, Biffy Clyro, Deftones all took note from Fugazi's musical playbook. It is unwise to put bands on god-like pedestals, but in more simple terms than that: Fugazi rocked pretty hard. Many bands have done great things with less than great music. Fugazi did both, but though embellishment and oversimplification they have become an idea more than a band. But let's focus on the band. Who were Fugazi? What made them different? And what makes them so much more than simply the band that wrote “Waiting Room”?

This is a re-upload of a video from the beginning of September. Dischord Records did not want their content to be attached to an advertisement. This is the original video without any ads. Enjoy!
it is nice they weren't objecting to using the footage period tho.
Jesus... Imagine doing a Fugazi vid with ads attached. Wtf were you thinking?
Respect
Sorry your content had to be taken down, but props to Ian being consistent to his views. Also, wonderful stuff, as always.
Well, that makes a LOT of sense!
This had a lot more Britney Spears than I was expecting
Bwahahaha I just spit ice cream everywhere. Great comment!

Dave Lawlis which would be sad.. what would the singer from Haim then like besides Fleetwood Mac .. 😜
MacKaye stopped in the middle of a song to save my mom from a mosh pit when she got sucked in and fell. Broke her ankle but Ian saved her ass lol I am also named after him. My parents couldn't decide on one until after we had already been released and gone back home. My parents listened to Fugazi in the car on the way home from the hospital.
I was definitely happy when my mom told me that stuff back in jr high
Ian Severtson what a special little ❄️ you are ❤️❤️
That's a nice story
that is so punk rock. ur mom sounds awesome
Youre a weenee
That's a fuckin awesome story!
“im so tired” one of the deepest songs ive ever heard. all the punkiest, loudest, messiest bands have the most deep and meaningful ballads
Also a other innovation. How many songs cut off halfway through a word
@@DendyJungle “I’m not stickin’ roun-“
Would you like to share other examples because I love that song so much!

@@serjtankian5474 yes that's a great one too I love the mats
It's a miracle Brittney made it this far, having stopped so many damn times.
lol bravo
This is the best CZcams comment in the history of CZcams comments hahaha
Right
i imagine she wished she could have said No too.
Years back I was walking down the mall in DC. Clinton's motorcade came through, bunch of cops and sirens and all that. Kept walking and came across a crowd of people around some tent thing, went to investigate and saw there was a stage in there. It was a free Fugazi show. That was a good day.
Maybe not the same show since this is from 91 ie Bush Sr. but...
czcams.com/video/c_5OZOwAhas/video.html
yeah if you lived around DC in the 90s you could see fugazi for free multiple times a year. fort reno was a given, but they'd usually play 2-3 other free benefit type shows a year. i saw them at least 5 times and don't think i ever had to pay
“There’s a difference between wanting to play in a band and wanting to play music.”
Gee, I wish someone had told me that when I was a teenager. Then I wouldn’t have spent two years in a shit metal band when I was in college.
Fugazi is the type of a band Jack Black tried to communicate to his kids in School of Rock.
In this movie, there is a Fugazi sticker in his bedroom....
@@jean-francoispilote5751 amazin'!
And on the chalkboard in class
His character in High Fidelity lists Pailhead as an influence on his band too
Waiting Room is apparently popular in real life schools of rocks. There's a handful of vids on CZcams.
I nearly died at a Fugazi show when I was 17 ('93). Was a great night.
Now that would be a shirt design
this is the best string of comments on CZcams methinks
oh, you must be really old now
If you don't mind me asking, how did you almost die?
I saw them on that tour in Houston...what a fuc*in show...$5...like 4000 people.
: I saw them at the After Dark in Honolulu HI in 1995. 6$ both nights. (Hawaii Shows were 1.00 more than the mainland) Both nights totally sold out (Crammed full of 180 people).
Both nights had a single opener, a mostly HARSH Skinhead band with members of a band called MUG (Mean Ugly Guys) from Waay back in the day.
Fugazi played mostly from 13 songs (but never in the order of the album) Ian kept stopping the show mid song because girls were getting pushed into the Pit. On the second night a guy kept yelling "You Guys Suck! I want Minor Threat!" And Ian stopped the show (I think it was during the song Burning Too, but it might have been Suggestion. This escapes me) He said "We suck? You want your money back?" and the guy said "yeah" and Ian scrounged up 4 bucks from Brenden and took the other 2 bucks out of his pocket and the guy came to the front and Ian knelt down and gave him the money. Ian then said something to the tune of "theres your 6 bucks, now get the fuck out." The crowd went nuts.
I have a photographic memory and this was one my earliest shows I can recall as if it were yesterday. They played 2 years later as well and that show was $7.
I miss those days
Haha after dark was awesome! I saw nofx once there when i was in high school
@@jasonmay2023 nice! I saw Bad Religion, Tool, NIN and RAGM there. Although the name of the venue changed it was still the same club.
@@andrewhall7930 that is very cool. I wish i wouldve gone more often when it was there. That whole place is just a strip mall and storage place (i think...i dont go down there very often anymore, im from kaneohe).
Youll never forget your first concert. Mine was Poe opening for Gravity Kills.
I like that it was all about the ads and they don't care about anyone using their content.
I've heard Waiting Room, what, 2,000 times? Still gives me chills every time...
That pause. That damn pause. After a while, you know the music is coming, but dammed if you don't get rev'd up in anticipation,
Fugazi are the best. The absolute fucking best. They've never broken up and are still friends. They could still play again some day if they feel like it. I was born in 1981, and was a kid when they released a lot of their music, but got seriously into them in the late 90's. I saw them live twice, and those 2 gigs are definitely 2 of my best ever. I've never known anyone play punk music with the same level of musical ambition and accomplishment as Fugazi. They're super fast, super tight and super versatile. Nobody else can do what they do. The fact they've done all that while being absolute exemplars of integrity and decency in their conduct just blows my mind. There's a whole lot of bullshit around the idea of being 'punk rock', but Fugazi have consistently lived up to every shattered ideal.
Guy Picciotto is a great dancer
agreed
him, Yorke and Byrne are my faves
He dances like Elaine from Seinfeld
Indeed
I will happily watch this again, shit man I'll watch it a third time if it's deleted again. I love fugazi's story.
Find and watch Instrument. It's amazing.
I wish it was longer and had more live footage, but it was still great to see.
Definitely a 👍
They were spectacular live , saw them in chapel hill nc in 1990, we saw Ian at a counter eating and had no idea who he was and asked him if he was going to see fugazi, he said yeh I think I might go, one of my funnier moments in life, the evens are great as well he is a person that is on a mission to never sell out
Lmao how do you ask someone if he goes to see a band when you don't even know how their frontman looks like
Onche518 Ian isn’t the frontman and back then the internet didn’t exist so you would only have the small photos in the liners.
That's awesome, sounds like something Ian would say. I've met him a few times and he's very droll and unassuming
for real??? i'm from carrboro, was this at cats cradle? do you remember where he was eating at at all? this is so funny to me, no one cool really comes to chapel hill no more. I know this is a 3 year old comment but I'm so curious, tickled for real
Lmfao
They were the best live act I've ever seen. No lightshow, just stark striplight moshpit beauty. On the Steady Diet of Nothing tour. Unforgettable.
Light show? For real? You weren’t around for the days of 5 bands for 5 bucks, we’re you?
@@tsquipnottsquip5128 no, I'm not quite that old
In "Our Band Could Be Your Life," Fugazi explained they also avoided selling merch so they wouldn't have to deal with dragging boxes of t-shirts around on tour.
I could see how that could be tedious, though I like to buy shirts from my favorite bands
At one of their shows, at the paladium in l.a. a lot of people threw their t shirts on stage. Guy picciotto, then told the crowd that it looked like a damn thrift store up here. I guess the crowd wanted to give fugazi their merchandise. Oh how I still love fugazi s music...
Forever grateful that my friend got me into Fugazi in 1989, and I got to see them live a bunch of times. Thanks, Keith...miss ya dude!
I didnt know all this shit but a friend played me long division when it came out and I was in love, and I loved that their albums were stickered "do not pay more than "XXX" for this album"... way before pearl jam took a stand (and kudos to PJ for doing that)
I have seen a lot of great live music. This is not hyperbole; Fugazi really was the best live act I have ever experienced. No fancy lazers or light show-only four guys playing music and some meta-physical energy that is hard to describe. They were masters at what they did.
Dude. I've been watching your stuff for the last hour. Such quality.
My first Fugazi experience was by somehow finding Repeater in a music shop (I live in South Africa so Lord only knows how it got there) in high school.
I can honestly say it changed my musical taste for the better
I have always wanted to be in a band like this. Something honest and heartfelt.
Was at the last ever Fugazi shows ever that took place in London. One of the best live and recorded rock bands ever.
Nice. We opened for them in Birmingham on that tour, 2002. I had a feeling I was seeing one of their last shows. It was my sixth time seeing them live. They were legends and awesome humans.
@@bennyshambles what was your band called?
Kentish Town forum, in the words of James Murphy... I WAS THERE, great gig... Got my album signed...
@@nickthelick absolutely with Erase Errata and Q & Not U opening. Amazing you got your album signed. Which one? The Argument?
I loved Fugazi shows! It was always an event in on itself. Even if you went alone, you'd leave with tons of friends! If you fell in the mosh, you'd be sure to be picked up and put back on your feet. Ian and Guy would lecture if the crowd got too out of control, but we'd love them anyway! I took my sister to see it. It was the first concert my sister ever saw, being all ages, it blew her 15 yo mind! I really miss FUGAZI shows... have a pleasant evening...
My dad opened for one of their concerts with his band Unwritten Law back in the early 90s in Cali. Great band
Repeater is an absolute masterpiece.
Fucking A! I have noticed the older i get the more i get out of Repeater in different ways. A definite masterpiece
no its not
They were so much more. I knew Ian and Brendan in the early 80s and they were genuinely great guys. I remember it as a time you would go to shows not because of the headliners necessarily, but to support a DC band; established or not. It was the best time of my life surrounded by the best people I ever met.
Excellent video. Fugazi were the most important band to me in my youth. I had the exquisite pleasure of seeing them play live a total of five times (would have been 6, but my friends and I were in a serious car accident driving to their show on The Argument tour). I’ve seen some great shows in my time, but Fugazi were always the one I looked forward to the most. It was a time when I could expect virtually everyone I was friends with to attend their shows, from all over various parts of my home town, St. Louis, Missouri. As I’ve changed over the years, their anti-consumerism is far less interesting to me, though their intention behind it and overriding attempt to control all aspects of their music is something I will always respect. They will always be my favorite band because of the energy, emotion, innovation, and intelligence of their music.
saw them 4 times in Australia, 3 of those were in 3 nights in a row on same tour - 3 different shows. Best live act I ever saw!!!
This is seriously my new favorite yt channel. I’m always like- I’ll watch one.
3 trash theory videos later...
Fugazi remains the only band I have ever seen two nights in a row. Saw them in London one night and Brighton the next. Both gigs rocked but the great thing was it was totally different sets. They were just jamming I swear they didn't even have a setlist they just played what they felt like. One of best bands I have ever seen live.
The point was really driven when they played all that Brittany spears LMFAO.
Man that was funny
The dood that made this shit is a weenee
One of the greatest bands of all time
Duh
13 Songs was my favorite Fugazi
album; I remember skating on our local vert ramp and I couldn’t skate till I heard that first track “Waiting Room” hearing that bass line kick in!#🛹🎸🔥❤️🤘🏻
Thanks for this. Fugazi was amazing and I appreciate a good take on them.
Thanks for posting! I saw them in ‘95 in Dayton at a fairly small club and was blown away. A friend of mine at the time got me into 80’s socal and DC punk bands at that time. The concert was a great taste of what I missed in that earlier era. Been a fan ever since.
Great video. I really appreciate the history of these awesome, under appreciated bands. Thanks folks
Fugazi is one of favorite bands of all time.
I saw Fugazi in the early 90s at an outdoor venue in Phoenix. At one point during the show a police helicopter hovered overheard and shined their spotlight down on the crowd. Ian then led us in a mass middle finger salute to the cops in the helicopter. I also lost my watch in the pit, but it was worth it.
I grew up in the 2nd coming of the SoCal. punk scene (was in H.S. 88'-92' in Orange County). Used to see all of the bands that became HUGE in the mid 90's (Offsping, Green Day, No Doubt, Face to Face, Guttermouth, Bad Religion, Pennywise, NOFX, etc.) usually for free at a local bar, or for $5 at some shit hole club. But I still loved the H.C. punk music that came before. And that's where I found Minor Threat. So becoming a Fugazi fan was inevitable. I writes this, because of the countless bands/shows I've seen (and still go to see).......
Fugazi at the Hollywood Palladium (90' or 91'?) was the GREATEST SHOW I'D EVER SEEN !!!!
Everything about that show, from the band, to the people, were PERFECT!!!
First time hearing about them! I don’t even listen to the genre but these fools were gold, thanks for the video.
yes. they used heat.. the clip from "instrument" you used was brendan canty JOKING about the giant halo that people try to place on the band's image. he was like "this shit is ridiculous. i even had someone come up to me and he was like "i heard they don't use heat" like even THEY were bewildered at times how far the whole music scene (business + fans) would go in terms of beatifying these guys. "omg like WHO TURNS DOWN A BIG LABEL CONTRACT KLJFJHFHFZZHJHKKH"
i totally get that you had to reupload this without ads tho. dischord doesnt advertise so they didnt want the label associated with any kind of advert. that said they tend to be really cool with rights for all the copyrighted material, audio + video that this mini-doc used, so yeah. no big deal. to me it makes perfect sense.
i will be 40 this year and grew up in the DC suburbs and was profoundly lucky in that i was able to see these guys play live probably more than any other live act i've ever seen repeatedly. everywhere from church basements to fort reno to the black cat and 930. they are consummate musicians and performers and never disappoint. they are also really fucking nice people, like true gentlemen, and were/are incredibly accessible to their fans,.
their stances and politics only seem radical because the status quo is such an impossibly foul and fetid shitfeast that its come to the point that folks actually see them as some sort of ascetic monks. yes. they use heat ffs. they probably also poop even. their tenets were not much more than common sense bullet points on a piece of paper titled "how not to be complete assholes as musicians / human:s 1987-2002"
it wasnt some dalai lama ethos it was simply some gifted musicians making fucking incredible music and applying basic ethics to every facet of such an endeavor.
selah/so it goes
their stance re the status quo, well put
Saw them live in '92 in a Knights of Columbus basement in downtown Savannah, GA. Still have the ticket stub -
Nice. I saw them in a Riverstreet bar in Savannah in 2000
Check out the last comment on kevins thread applies to you also
This really made my day. Excellent coverage and commentary on the fugazi ethos , and their experiences and impact .. so stoked I got to see them play live in their , and my testimony is no different than the others here in the comment section : wise-assed and humorous pauses by Ian , settling down the goobers in the crowd .. I’ve kept in touch with his friendship and dialogue with Rollins over the years too , such a rad impact on culture .. damn I would really love to catch a performance if they play again
This is an amazing video, I love Fugazi. Such a unique band even to this day. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Probably nothing under that moniker.
What you have now got is = Coriki, The Evens, The Messthetics - they're all currently active and ongoing with various erstwhile Fugazi personnel. Only Guy is absent in action from those.....
I loved their music & their energy. Saw them live in Toronto
This was a fantastic look into the myth that is Fugazi. I was an immediate fan after one of my hardcore friends played me Waiting Room back in 97. I never had the opportunity to see them live due to there elusive nature and by the time the 2000’s rolled around, it was too late. I really enjoyed this because I never really knew too much info about the band. This is the first time I have seen a video on your channel and you definitely have a new fan. Again, thank you for sharing this and I look forward to seeing another one of your videos! Cheers!
Wow, well done sir! What a tribute to such an amazing band. This band has defined my taste in music since Jr high school
I must have went to 300 concerts between 1988 and 2000. That was literally all we did was drive to STL and go to shows. I saw Fugazi either 5 or 6 times at Mississippi Nights on the landing in STL, and once in their home town of DC. No other band stimulated as much energy as they did. Their shows were magical that way. I was almost trampled to death at one show. Ah, the memories.
Fugazi, Shellac and the Ex at Congress Theater in Chicago June 2001- best concert I’ve ever seen. I’m so lucky.
Sounds wild. Enjoy my jealousy!!!😜
13 songs is the greatest punk album of all time
I think that's the most Brittany Spears I've ever listened to.
Sucks for you then, those are rookie numbers...come back when you’ve got a couple albums under your belt
I skipped right over that.
*free Britney!* :)
I've always had mixed feelings about Fugazi, but this video gave me a lot of love and appreciation for the band. Thanks!
Awesome vid, looking forward to the tribute album coming out this year.
I don’t need to rethink anything. Nor does anyone who watched this video. If you clicked on the thumbnail you already know fugazi is the greatest.
Well, I mean... I always knew about Fugazi being this great eco friendly diy ethics kinda band but had only heard "Waiting Room". This video was great for me.
One of the ten most important bands ever assembled.
Just out of curiosity, who are the other 9, lol?
@@jasondankenbring1710 I'd say L7 were one of the pretty important ones.
If the other 9 don’t include Limp Bizkit or Nickelback then I’m not interested
@@keanuismyfather7477 Don't forget Imagine Dragons!
michael801 Hey, don’t diss Imagine Dragons! They might suck now but back in the day they were my jam!
Fugazi were such immediate legends that when I bought their first album in 1990, I thought they'd been around for years already. Back then, you couldn't just check this sort of thing on the internet and you were too drunk to remember if you asked someone.
Saw them around 2001. They played for almost three hours. One of the best shows I've ever seen...
you would get spoiled by how long they played
This was incredible, thank you.
Saw Fugazi a few times in the 80s, they certainly are the band who wrote waiting room and did it their way, but for me, they will always be the greatest band I ever saw live. Unlike anything I had seen before or have seen since, overwhelming positivity.
There was a period when they were opening shows with "Exit only". That set a mood.
I saw them in 2000 and Ian passed out fresh cherries :)
that's a very Ian thing to do...
Thanks for making this bud
So much importance in something as simple as a pause ❤️
My favorite band ever. And I'm not just saying that. Their music was everything to me when I was a teenager. I sincerely hope they see a significant resurgence someday. Thank you very much for this video. I encourage everyone to watch "Instrument" if you haven't already seen it. Fucking brilliant doc for a fucking brilliant band.
This was outstanding; thank you so much.
real good mini doc, thank you
They probably were the greatest live band ever. Certainly the best band I've ever seen
Watched a second time. Thank you for respecting Dischords wishes
Attended the Eugene show on the Repeater tour, tagging along with a friend, with no prior knowledge of the band; still the best show I've ever seen.
I was at the Philadelphia show where guy was upside down in the basketball hoop. Indescribably amazing experience. Fan for life
James Mahon did he really fall into the drums after?
@@itsMrNoble .. I don't believe so. But it is over 30 years ago so. Memory might be a little fuzzy
@@itsMrNoble my friend and myself did an interview with Ian afterwards for our little local fanzine. Very approachable dude. Is every member pretty vividly there was about 30 skinhead standing around wanting to kick our asses.. the heckling didn't even phase him. Pretty amazing actually outside of verbal insults no incident happened. The venue was at the YMCA in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. It was an alternative venue. The local venue that was right down the street (club pizzaz)had closed about 3 or 4 months earlier... and this was probably the only space available in the neighborhood
I saw them in the 90's in Gainesville, FL Best show of my life!
At the Hardback? I didn't get to Gainesville until '98 but got to see that place before it closed and Hot Water Music a bunch of times.
Happy I got to see them a handful of times . So good .
Saw them when they came the UK and played in Portsmouth 89 i think. What a night 🔥🔥 £3 on the door - they then stayed the night on my mates floor! The most awesome, down to earth, friendly people you could wish to meet. There was more Britanny in this vide than I expected…
It’s hard to describe how exciting it was when Fugazi was coming into being in ‘87 in DC. Minor Threat was so important and the various iterations and combinations afterwards, excepting Dag Nasty, just hadn’t got it right. When we got our hands on the 5th or 7th generation copy of their demo tape, everyone knew something special was coming together, especially after the inclusion of Guy who wasn’t featured on the demo, or at least not heavily.
It’s funny how spoiled we were in those years, seeing Fugazi for free at Fort Reno or for three bucks or whatever at that church in Adams Morgan, along with other great bands like Swiz, Soulside, Gray Matter, and of course - I-Spy.
That was a great video. Thank you
A roommate introduced me to a steady diet of nothing. Still one of my favorite albums.
Fortunate to see these gentleman for 3 shows. Was a swell time!
Extremely important, musically and professional innovative, down to earth and inspirational; Fugazi is the most important band of my adolescence. I’m so thankful I was introduced to them and was even more fortunate to see them live multiple times, including as one of their (thousands of) support bands.
Saw them twice around the release of Repeater, once in Dayton and another in Indianapolis. Great live shows.
Seen Fugazi three times, (1989 1991 & 1999) Always outstanding live!
Seeing this made me want you to do vids of the history of 'beastie boys' - and the history of 'sugar ray' and how they changed over the years
Like how sugar Ray started out as a great band became one of the most soulless pop groups of all time
That pause and then those drums, is my favorite thing in the whole world
Long time fan. Seen them live a bunch times and never new about the acronym of their name. Always thought it was an ironic play on words from the Italian word “fugazi” which means fake or damaged beyond repair. Good stuff and great video
Great band. Great sound on their albums. The drums and Bass on Long Division are incredible.
The thing that gets missed is that this is a band of four very talented, very opinionated people. It could have imploded at the get-go. But there is a lot of trust, collaboration, and most of all commitment to the collective experience that it allowed them to go on, at a pretty brutal pace, for 14 odd years. I was at the Mass Art show in 1990. While that was an amazing show, the equally amazing thing was the word of mouth about that show. There was no internet and only a few flyers put up around the city. Word of that show traveled through certain circles extremely fast and the line outside the gym wrapped around the block. They delivered on every single show I saw them at and every album. They never got bored, jealous, greedy. They only hit pause because geography and personal commitments made it impossible to deliver to the standards they had set. Like many great groups, what came before, and what comes after weaves a thread, but nothing any of those guys have done outside Fugazi eclipses the quality and importance of their music together. In the literary world, we would consider Minor Threat and Rites of Spring formative work - Fugazi is the masterwork.
Fugazi a sido la banda que mas e disfrutao y mas me a influenciado en todo aspecto, no solo musical; pero definitivamente es mucho mas. Gracias.
Awesome video. Thanks & GOD bless you❤
Great video! Ha 2 of their albums on cassette tape, they might be in a box somewhere. Haven't seen em in about 25 years. One of the first tapes I ever had, along with Bad Religion All Ages and NWA.
I met ian mackaye at a shitty grocery store I was working at after I failed out of college. I couldnt believe it, he walked by and it didnt register. he walked past me and I stared at him and didnt say anything and then it hit me and I said "hi ian, big fan" but not quite loud enough really so he just kinda looked back at me and waved politely just in case he heard me right. it was awesome. I guess he was in town with the evens.
saw them in Houston in '92, most amazing live show ever. I named my youngest son after him and even talked to him by email once years ago also.
I’m very happy to say I saw Fugazi live .
Saw them in Norwich in 1992 or so, I remember the drums sounded like gunshots, such a tight sound. But as brilliant and original as Waiting room is, Gimme the Cure was the killer track for us.
Well done mate, nice little doco.
What a unique band.
It's kinda odd that there aren't MORE bands this solid.
But ... there just isn't.
Great video, a little shout out to the inclusivity of their shows and ethos wouldn't have gone amiss, I think that stuff is paramount to their importance and influence.
Saw them in 89 in a parking building in Philly during a storm. Excellent show.
Spent most of late teens traveling around Va and DC to see these guys, great times!! Great band!!!
Ive listened a couple of times but this opened my eyes to their world and now im pumped to listen to them!
I was a Huge MT fan & a mild Fugazi fan.But after seeing them live in 95 I was in shock how well they played&sounded,I think there just as great,definitely one of the best shows I ever saw.
