We called this record the holy grail of 80's hardcore. Instant classic.

Some of the long hair dudes are from Nuclear Assault at the start.

I'm 37 and remember my hardcore/punk friend raving all about the Cro Mags back in the '80s. I also remember them coming down on tour in '88 and seeing some kids in school wearing the concert shirts. I was a metalhead and VERY closed-minded, so I never gave stuff like this a chance back then. I'll always love metal, but I'm glad as hell I opened my mind up to bands like the CM.

I was 14 years old when I heard Cro-Mags for the first time and I knew I'm gonna love this music for all my LIFE ! I'm 45 now and this music still like it's new to me. So Powerfull !!! Thanks Cro-Mags for your music ! I hope that one day you can make peace and play again tohether !!!

when punk, metal, and hardcore all get drunk together and gave a great time

one of the most amazing songs ever

20 years later and I still get goosebumps when i see this video. NYHC for life!!!

Absolutely nothing pumped me up more as a kid than blasting this in the car on the way to, well, on the way to wherever!!! My eleven year old just watched this, and he is being classically trained on piano, but can't help but feel the passion, and raw power of THE CROMAGS!

Im 42 And the Cro-Mags still sound as good as they did back in High School! Old School harcore!

Brilliant!! I remember the show in Scum Katwijk Holland.Only 20 people showed up and we couldn't believe it cus we were crazy about CroMags.Had a great time tho cus they played a full show for us and we were on stage half the time and stagediving into nothing!!

Heard it on MTVs 120 minutes and loved it. To me it represents my teenage angst, even though I’m 50 now and still loving it ❤ ODAAT

Best Video ever...saw it in the early 90's on MTV in the night...it was a blast!!!!!

Growing up in the culture of the early 2000s was a weird experience. I found hardcore and I knew where I belonged.

a great band that i have seen play in nyc 3x and all of the shows were kick ass - we need more bandz like them

The best. For however many years...the best.

HANDS DOWN>>>>>>THE BEST 'METAL FACE' EVER @ 0:52

the best People ever, will always keep You in Memory! John: " Yea Maharaj ist strange sometimes… You will see" ;) You were right still he is a great friend as well as You are. My redhaired godly brother You still have Your Deity? It was so pretty. And this Song - We gotta know is simply the best Song ever! Thanx Cro Mags You are Legends!

Not only one of the greatest opening songs of any album ever, the footage is some of the greatest You Tube video I've ever seen, especially that mess at 1:28 & following. Was so fortunate to have seen Cro Mags on tour with Anthrax (I think?) around 1984-85.

Just saw these guys last night,fucking legends of hardcore,keeping the scene alive,it was an awesome show

Seen em when I was a kid and this band lives on!!! I am 44 and seen all the olriginals!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad brain, voi-vod, af, mnor threat, but this album rulz!!!

I think this was the first video on MTV to show people stage diving

Still appreciate that beastie, thick, driving downbeat and guitars/bass that was ahead of its time in many respects.

saw them many times and boy do I miss seeing them play!!!!

Loved Bloodclot's flip into the crowd!! Classic NYHC, period. Closest I came to this was when Soulfly played the intro riff in the middle of a song-I damn near went apeshit

still great after all these years!!!!

Extreme music has to grow on everyone. When I first heard Dillinger escape plan (for instance) I thought it was total chaos shit. Now I catch their shows whenever I can.

Rip My brother. Bad ass song.

i'm 19 and i wish i was young back then, because honestly music these days it's not the same... The energy, the spirit, it's all gone. I hate this age.

I saw them in hamburg markthalle think it was 86 or 87. Best show i ve ever seen in my live. Adrenalin from. Head to toes. Absolut power

I do remember a day when I saw a video first time - it was more then 15 years ago. Still one of the best hardcore videos and songs ever! Real shit!!!

Saw them in 87 at Christmas on Earth festival in Leeds England. Megadeth headlined, but the buzz was all about the Cro mags that day. And rightly so too, they were amazing and this 17 year old had never seen anything like it at the time.

So true, brother. This just CRUSHES any of the new school "hard core". Whenever I wear my Cro Mags Age of Quarrel t-shirt, my chest just naturally puffs up a little, and that shirt always causes a sensation wherever I go among other old school punks who know what's up...

in my opinion this is one of the best songs ever, with cro mags maybe best band ever

This album blew me away in 86. saw them 87 in markthalle hamburg with my friend killer. It was a mindblowin show. We never saw such energy on stage till then. And everytime i listen to it i must say its a bilbe! My favorite albums are peter a tttb. Mating sounfs of american frogs, skrewdriver hail the new dawn, age of quarrel and everything from killing joke and thin lizzy. Greez from hamburg. Oi

One of the best vids of the 80ies.

The realy best of ALL^^ Cro-Mags with John^^ love it^^

One of the best Cro-Mags song!

Oh god, I love this band!!!

this was the opening song for their show at soundwave :') GOOD TIMES, IT WAS SO GREAT!

This was one of the vids that pplayed in my VHS that was set to 'repeat' I forgot how much fun this shit was! Thanx for makin my night!

Doug , i met you about 5 YEARS ago in the Gramercy Area.We talked about Religion and Karma// and then you told me what a thrill touring with Lemmy was.You were a cool guy.I am still Star struck that i got to share philosophies and beliefs.May you live Long and prosper.

First saw them back in 89 at the Christmas day on earth thrash festival in Leeds UK. Nuclear assault, Kreator, Megadeth, Virus, Overkill, Laaz Rocket, where also on the bill. Cro mags were fantastic, and the result of which saw myself buying the The Age of Quarrel the very next day on US import (Vinyl of course!) Costing over ten quid!!!! Worth every penny!!!

Ya, I have been going on a download spree. All the old New York thrash scene of the 80's...great stuff!

Great song. Classic video

Good music never get old

Amazing songs

If I were to pick one album to listen to for eternity. This one

YEEEEEES! Cro-Mags' "Age of Quarrel" playes on the soundtrack of my youth as a skatepunk from the south Chicago 'burbs. I saw them circa 1988 or 1989??? at the famous Cubby Bear... I won't mention the acid here....

When this album was played (I had the tape cassette back in the day), it was played from start to finish as loud as the speakers could handle. Best listened to with good friends and cold beers! NYHC and especially the 'Mags had a big influence on the direction of music from the classic metal heavy era (pre 1980s) into thrash metal era (late 1980s and early 1990s)! The Mags even toured with Megadeth and Motorhead! How cool would that show have been?! 🔥🎸🎼🤘

Yes ! Always

Greatest album!!!!!

@AdRock1035 Let's not forget about Murphy's Law, Nuclear Assault, Biohazard, BOLD, Prong, and Sick Of It All! I had all those on reel-to-reel casette tapes, too man hehe wow it sucks getting old but feels so heartwarming to recall all the good memories. Remember Infectious Grooves?

Bloody brilliant!

I love this video and this song, and all the age of Quarrel album, ...like one of my clasic underground music albums, but "im not a hardcore fan", i mean, i like just this album and this band in 1986; this band was very original, so much energy in the songs and a great precence on stage, but i think that afther this great classic album they were never be the same.

The best HARDCORE band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miss this!

True Amazing song...

What a show!!

just gotta luv cro-mags!!!

Yeah, einer der Besten Old school NY Hardcore Bands. Goil. Black Flag, Bad brains, Minor Threat, Agnostic Front,Circle Jerks sind so Ziemlich die Besten NY Hardcorebands aus den Anfängen des Hardcore. Ich kann nur sagen: Our way, your life, my scene, the definition?! HARDCORE!!!

That frontflip was fucking beautiful. That fucking form

Bad brains started in d.c around 77' ,all the west coast punk bands came around 80',81.

gettin older I realize that this shit 's getting better every day. There was no band like cro mags and there never will be. It's not about musicianship (I play blues and jazz sometimes so I can compare) It's something else I can't describe...
