Flipper nuttiest band ever. I saw them one night. The bass player decided to take a beer break... gave his bass to someone in the audience who proceeded to fill in for him. Friggin' hilarious.

Flipper has been in my top 10 band list for 40 years. First saw them in 1980, opening up for P.I.L. in San Francisco. Saw them around 1984 or 85 in Cleveland Ohio - they began playing in front of almost 100 people, then within 20-25 minutes, it was down to less than 35 people. At one point, all 4 band members had a lit joint sticking out of their mouths that we were all smoking while playing - my friend sat on the stage the whole time and rolled joints and gave them to the band. The 15 people left in the club after the show, including the band - all went to party where they were staying. It was nuts. They were really nice - no pretentiousness whatsoever (I've been going to shows for 45 years - I've met some really a**holes).

Flipper at the peak of their powers !!

THE DEMAND IS A SACRIFICE OF YOUR LIFE! one of the definitive flipper songs, it actually sounds as good or better live in this version

that singer has some fucking presence

I love how it was delivered so nonchalantly, but with such profound and dark lyrics.

This band was a pioneer in dirge music and set new presidence in punk. They were everything they sound like, tough, crazy, drug addicted and cynical.

Bruce Loose looks exceptionally amazing in these clips.

Goddamn it, this is AWESOME. PURE, 100%, PUNK ROCK AT IT'S BEST.

Flipper are one of those greatest of old memories that is always a smile on my face and just love it, when I get to hear them again.

I wish that bass tone were a sleeping bag I could roll up in for a hundred hours.

This is the most pure music I've ever heard.......Can you hear the war cry?

Flipper will ALWAYS rule, OK?

One of the GREATEST bands ever.

Flipper rule! thanks for sharing the video. These guys were easily as much an influence on Nirvana as sonic youth or the wipers. Generic Flipper still blows me away.

Oh yeah, saw them in 85 and the last post was the shirt I had. Still my favorite band of all time. It was part of my life to hear these songs and still to this fucking day. You can not understand if you where not there back then, but I don't care if you can't relate. If this band gets you off, listen. If not, don't post stupid shit and turn to some other bullshit that will get you off. Don't fuck with Flipper!

Flipper Rules!!!!

I love this so much 🎶

i knew this was flipper, but never knew the name of the song. Had it on a mixed tape, back in 80 something. Great song.

I was listening to this song twice together (the first one from 1 minute, the second one from the beginning) and it was definitely great! Kind of psychedelic hardcore punk!

I was sacrificed. And lived. This song is prophecy.

You like this, you're not old at heart, just saying...53 here BYW ;)

love this band. i always wondered what the hell the guitarplayer was doing.

Demanding the sacrafice!! And Will sacraficed himself for it, RIP!!

classic rock.

Classic Flipper

Seen Flipper live about 5 years ago and they were Fucking great!

Why would anyone post a comment on this video that isn't about how fucking amazingly vitriolic this song is, and how Bruce Loose is a frontman n a half.

yes this is, he was in this band before nirvana. and they reunited in 05

all ways praise the flipper gods that rule the wheels of the street....

saw them quite a few times. The Farm shows were the best.

this song is still relevant and powerful

I was one of like 12 people that saw them in New Orleans in 83? 84? at Tulane University.

El punk denso ,hermoso artefacto de electricidad que sembró y las generaciones posteriores cosecharon .

Love love love this.

🌟Real good music🌟

No one cuts through bullshit like FLIPPER.

Great Band, great music!

Man. Ten years later this is basically ALL you would hear...EVERYWHERE!

Ahuevo, todo un pinche clásico.

Saw them do the same song in San Fran. 1984? A tiny dump south of Mission.

The Mighty Flipper!

Flipper was more punk than any hardcore band godhead like Grosso said

Sick ass track! 👊

Eternal

Got turned on to Flipper around 1995. They were a pop band that never turned their amps down or tuned their guitars. That's what made them so much better than charting pop bands. Awesome.

Flipper rules, ok?

flupper rulez,dont be stupid xx

10 years ahead of its time

Merci pour le partage.

FLIPPER- THE BEST

Thank you for the video!

Bruce Loose was the best vocalist for Flipper. Just raw punk.

I like how loud that bass is. and i like that it is slowed down.

awesome! my fave Flipper song.If only the Melvins could figure it out.

Great song

I totally agree!!!

few civil wars i would have believed in including the next one when the bosses get theirs

Bruce seems like a perfect 👌

I agree...at least when stuff like this gets added.

seeing flipper tonight at manning bar!

flipper still rules

Nice work, Bruce.

Why is everyone bitching on Kurt and Nirvana, if I wouldn't be a fan of Kurt, I wouldn't even know Flipper, so we should be thankfull to him.

Totally groovy

Exactly!

Flipper rules...ok?

My Pandora played this song and i almost slid my wrist.Not kidding

I wi wonder if they knew how fuckin good they were.? Amazing to watch em do it live I imagined big chunky pedals n all kinda weird machines That wall of drone is just flipper I guess Gotta love it

Thanks :)

Fucking right there with Will, I love this shit

I don't think he EVER tuned it. ;)

awsome.

@3008russellpearce "Wow. This is like the American version of Joy Division, right?" Well, maybe in the sense that you could hypothetically play and narrate 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' for any human who lived during the past 5,000 years, and they could tell you about a time they felt that way too. So yes, Flipper was that kind of thing for some of us in the US. Except we had Joy Division too, and the Brits didn't have any of our stuff, so nyeah.
