+Peter Hellicar Genres, there's a discussion... Of course a person can say, "Yeah - that's the band I'm talking about" or "Yeah, that's that kind of music." but, what a world... the Minutemen are all of their own and their band name too speaks volumes.

If the band had enough money, they would have sounded like Rush. But the bare sound of SST 'studios' is iconic. Boon was one of the best guitar players I'd heard, and his compositions are bold, and masterful, cutting edge.

Well it doesn't help that he thought a bass guitar and a guitar were both just guitars that had different strings when he started haha. With that kind of start, there's really no basis to judge someone off of! They're just...their own thing haha

d boon was number 89 on Rolling Stones greatest guitarists of all time. I'm not sure anyone familiar with The Minutemen and guitar players would say he's underrated. Maybe relatively obscure or not well known. All it takes is listening to a couple of his songs to tell how good he was . Guy was a fucking master. Just saying.

someone who actually DESERVES a signature guitar!

Happy birthday D. Boon who would have been 56 today.

And now in 2024, 66. 😔

And today (Dec. 22, 2020) marks the 35th anniversary of d. Boone’s death at the age of 27 in a traffic accident. The axel fell off of his van while he was resting in the back. For punk rock in Los Angeles, that is the day the music died. Mike Watt did amazing work with fIREHOSE (and other bands) after that, but it definitely broke a part of his heart forever.

30 somethin years ago I first heard this . And it still gets me like it did when I was a teenager . RIP D boon . Long live the Minutemen ...

love D.Boon rolling down the hill!

D.Boon and Mike Watt..the perfect combo!

HaHaHa epic D. Boon grass roll @2:48...miss you Minutemen!

Great video by the best band of all bands. The imagery is so powerful and even today helps us to understand the world the Minutemen lived in. Most of their experiences are now foreign to us but this gentlemen were very creative and their work is charged with the power of their ideas. The best part is that they are having fun and their art came straight from the heart even when they were trying to make a hit record.

Was in 10th-11th grade when this came out - makes me feel old. Minutemen and X - got me into more than just hardcore. I would take Double Nickles if I were stranded on an island

When I first got into punk I never listened to Minutemen. I heard about them but I liked hardcore and crossover more. At the same time I was learning how to play the guitar. When I would play I would subconsciously do that move D Boon does in this video and in other. Once I got sick of the same bands I came back to Minutemen and loved them instantly. RIP D Boon, the greatest front man in all punk.

2019 And I STILL Miss You D. BOON!!! R.I.P.!!!!! 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶

His anniversary today :( 27 years gone...but not forgotten. D Boon is the King of the Hill.

Such an intelligent band with a great sense of humor. A lot of their contemporaries in the punk scene took themselves way too seriously, and The Minutemen trumped them all in terms of experimentation and musical diversity by incorporating more varied influences and actually being able to lay down a groove.

SO MUCH awesome imagery in this. Helps you to realize that this ain't no picnic.

Hurley's hair. :) What a great band!

When someone asks me what music I liked in the 80s early 90s, I used to just say punk. But that is so broad. I now point them to this video

What a totally awesome song!

It was 1985. This video was my introduction to this band. Loved this song. I then bought "Project: Mersh" on cassette from my local record shop. Then, just as I was getting to discover and actually dig this band, D. Boon gets killed in that fatal car wreck.

D rolling down the hills at the end of the vid made my day 🤗 i used to do that when i was a kid

The Minutemen are badass!!

I remember watching this video when I was 12 back in the late 80’s on the USA ch when they would show videos late at night.

Boon feeding his face, what a crazy concept. Just playing R.I.P. to the King Of The Hill

i did catch the mike watt tour fo rhis tugboat album with Vedder, Grohl and the guitarist from foo fighters now! that was an awesome show, they all played each instrument as they rotated from song to song!

one of the most innovative bands in punk-hc. Their path was followed by bands like Victims' Famliy and No Means No.

Thank god these guys met. R.I.P D.Boon

Probably the best alternative video ever!!

Fucking love this band

I've been listening to Minutemen for over a decade and I've never heard this song!

why dont we hear more about george hurley?

These guys brought messages, D boon greatest front man of all time

This is a PIC-NIC

That might have been the very last show they ever played, In December 1985.

God they rocked! a lot of people will never have the chance to see them and thats a shame! saw them in 1986 opening for REM it was one show i will never forget!

I remember when this video came out. I thought, The Minutemen would change MTV, and then MTV would change the world. And it did. It invented reality television.

Love it!

to be honest cant remember, i just remember i was ushering at the FOX theater where they opened with Jason and the Scorchers for REM, i know it was one of the last tours because as i discovered them and D Boone, a chubby jamming dude jumping around the stage, i was hooked and bought double nickel which only got me even more hooked and then news came he had passed away, so i spend most of my time watching "we jam econo" to make up for it, so which ever year they opened for REM!

Damn they rule!

It takes talent to roll down the hill street I'll tell you that. And this man had talent

This stuff is unreal. It's innovative, it's dynamic, it's socially conscious, it's funny, and it rocks. It blew my mind in the best of ways to learn that the theme to "Jackass" is a leftist anti-war anthem in itself. Minutemen were too cool for school, and still are.

I used to have that exact crown!

There must exist some copy of this video in better quality somewhere out there, I really hope someone find it someday

its funy id play that game when i was a kid in illinois in the snow

Wow never knew this existed. So cool. D boon for milessss

That's a horrible idea. This song stands against everything the clown on that show stands for. I was not a huge fan. But I think using the refreshments a fun Texas band if nothing else, was probably the best idea.

0:55 so this is where the centrist grilling meme came from?

I was stationed at Sunnyvale Air Force station with Boons brother. We hung out took wizwaz and went to Peter Gabriel concert. Wonder whatever happened to him I lost contact after I got out of the Air Force.

i pressed like for fun

It's like Devo had a nephew who was more punk than his uncle and said I'm gunna do it my way!

I miss D. Boon

The only signature guitar I play is the one with my name on it, no hero worship!!! That's the biggest hype thingamabob ever, next to "vintage."

Are those burp noises only in the music video? I think so.
