Ever wondered what your mate would say if he was locked in a closet and tripping off his nuts? And then you recorded it and animated a lizard around what your mate said? No? Well, balls to it, this is great anyway.
Thinks he’s got it going bossa nova. No way. No way. What is this garbage?
Premiered at Doomtree’s Blowout 5 in Minneapolis earlier this month, this is the video for Hand Over Fist‘s Prizefight track, taken from their self-titled album of 2008.
With Lazerbeak creating Lava Bangers on the beat and Mictlan tearing up the vocals, you need to be crazy not to be feeling this. The video is below and remixes can be heard here.
Suicidal Tendencies will release ‘Live at the Olympic Auditorium’, their first ever DVD, on January 26th via their own label Suicidal Records.
As vocalist Mike Muir says – “The band started getting emails from some crazy guy that always said, ‘I know you’ll probably think I’m crazy, but I’m not. I’m wanna book ST for a show and I got this idea…’. Well, one by one we shot down the ‘unique’ ideas until one time he emailed and said the Olympic Auditorium was being bought by a Korean Church. Shouldn’t it be sent off with a special last gig? The band agreed and then the work began. The promoter — Evel Dick Donato who went on to win Big Brother – tells a bit about the show, making of etc. on the intro. Lots of drama, none more than the day before the show when I woke up and couldn’t walk. But the show must go on and the back surgery would have to wait till afterwards. Suicidal recorded live at the Olympic Auditorium in front of 4,000 Cycos… but now you can enjoy it in the safety of your living room.”

Sick of hearing or seeing status updates of your knobhead mates talking about XFactor? Even Xmas hit hog Noddy Holder spoke out about how crap it is this week as it prevents his shite tracks that have dominated the charts at this time of the year going to the top of the charts too.
It seems he is not alone as Rage Against The Machine fans are going that one step further by preventing the winner of this year’s X Factor from going to Number 1 in the UK charts this Christmas by getting RATM there instead. Vote for Killing In The Name by buying the MP3 from itunes now and view the petition now.
