Absolutely

As a one-time VP of Suicidal Records, I gotta say, this is the most thorough and accurate summation of Mike's career I've seen yet. That's no small feat, considering the discombobulated subject matter. (Of course, having said so, when you get to the guts of it, dude's pretty combobulated afterall. 😂) That man is a wild amalgamation of many, many things that I'm fairly certain nobody can accurately disseminate. But you hit the most important center. The band is actually more fundamentally important, historic and influential than they'll ever get proper credit for. This is true for different genres, but really the culture of music and music lovers overall in the wide umbrella loosely considered Rock Music. Then there's the collosal influence Muir has left on so many of us non musically talented. So vast. The only part of your doc I don't agree with, is your conclusion that the guy's life may work as some sort of roadmap for those looking to leave their own marks on music. I feel safe declaring that aint nobody going to accomplish anything akin to Mike Muir's legacy. And good f*cking luck if you're trying to sort out the innumerable aspects and the whys and whens of his actions. I highly doubt he could accurately depict that - even if he were willing to. 👻 Serious kudos for your impressive overview, my man. ⭐ ~Sui For Life~

I wonder if I saw him with the Dogtown crew when I was around 7, I need to try to check the date but it might be impossible since their scheduled show turned out to be a non-event due to NO publicity. Someone should have fired for that. I think it was1975 or 6 in the upper parking lot of West Town Mall in Knoxville Tennessee. I lived across the street in an apartment complex and my grandmother lived in the senior assisted living building bordering on the mall parking lot so we ran into them on the way to the mall. There might have been a couple of other onlookers. I remember a couple of them talking to each other about the situation and complaining about there not being any point in doing a show. I remember my grandmother asking them what was going on and they told her who they were and what they were doing, I was excited and bummed at the same time, since nothing happened we left for the mall. I was dying for a skateboard after that so we found the only ones available and my grandmother bought me a ($25.00? Outrageously expensive) hot pink thick plastic Huffy skateboard that I used for many years, I could do a handstand while skating and a couple of tricks but it wasn't exactly the best for that, lol. I'm off to check if my memory serves me correctly, I'll probably be back if anything turns up.... ...Welp, I'm frustrated. I looked up Zephyr skate tour 1975 and nothing, did they even do a tour? What we were supposed to see was a freestyle demonstration to promote skateboarding in a goddamn mall parking lot. Please please please, if you can give me any info I'd be grateful, this is driving me nuts! Who did I see? Were there Z-Boy imposters? Wtf, lol! It was a non-event so there's that. At least they did some boredom skating for us. Thanks.

I agree 100%. Clark's rhythm chops drove ST. Jeez what a great band.

I'm from Burlington, Iowa & was introduced to Suicidal in 88 at 15 years old by a friend from N. Hollywood, Ca. who introduced me to the self titled debut and "How Will I Laugh Tomorrow" at the same time. I've got to say that I love both albums (as well as everything that I have had the pleasure to hear by them) but I know that the impact of How Will I Laugh was enough to help me keep my head up and not kill myself during my difficult teenage years. I moved to Tucson, AZ in the late 90's and when I was working, it was on the radio that ST we're going to be playing at a small club in Tempe, AZ. with Infectious Grooves opening for them. I emailed thier website and informed Mike Muir about how significantly their music & lyrics had impacted me and my life. I didn't expect it, but I received a response from the iconic frontman and was told to print out said email, take it to the T-shirt booth and ask for someone named "Big Happy" and then he'd see me on that Teusday at the show. I ended up meeting with Infectious and Suicidal and left with not only one helluva life changing experience as well as an autographed Suicidal Bandana. ( Unfortunately the bandanna was stolen later). I was also amazingly honored to have had Mike Muir and Robert Trujillo reffer to me as "Cyco" and believe it that's what I am commonly referred to by pretty much everyone that knows me and what I'm about. To say that Suicidal Tendencies are legendary icons on every genre of music that they have been a part of is a pure understatement. Idk what I would do without them and their motivation to keep my head up and to tell anyone who doesn't care for what I believe in a big FUCK YOU!! with a smile on my face. I'm almost 50 now & it's hard to believe that they've been around 40 years and they've consistently been a source of personal inspiration for my life. I'll forever be CYCO.... ST

They wouldnt let any cassettes in that had: bad language, drug or violence glorification, sex and or drug talk. They would not let us watch " Puff the magic Dragon" because it was about drugs according to them, lol. I wrote Suicidal Tendencies a letter, from there. They did send me a kickass blue sticker that I put on my skateboard. I was hoping for a personal response, but whatever, I'm sure they were busy. And the sticker was really cool.

Im from San Diego and the Sui’s gang is absolutely real and absolutely gnarly.

I discovered ST because of skateboarding. I started riding when I was 8, 9yo and learned about the band a few years later. I've been to most of their concerts in Brazil. They played in Monsters Of Rock, 1994 for a 40 thousand +, packed stadium, but also played in small venues, for 2 thousand people. ST is definitely one of my favorite bands of all time and they certainly made my teenager years a whole lot better. I actually learned English by translating their songs to understand what they were saying.

I was lucky enough to see Suicidal Tendencies live, up close and personal in 1992. My first mosh pit!

Would be awesome to see a line up of Muir, George, Pleasants, Trujillo, and Lombardo. It'd be a super punk thrash group that all had been in the band at some point.

Hey, Bro --- I want to say that you did a pretty solid job documenting and producing this video. As someone who was childhood friends with Amery Smith from elementary school and still friends, friends with Bob Heathcoate since elementary school and his wife since elementary school and having met Rocky when he played in a band with one of my closest friends, drummer Sterling Roberts, Bob also played with them and being really into the skate scene of Venice Playa Del Rey, and knowing Mike and his brother Jim as Jim aka RedDog from the DogTown skate team founding member and spending so much free time skating Marina Skatepark home of The Dog Bowl where all world championships were held for pool riding back in the day. I was skating and surfing with Legend Jay Adams and then after the rebirth of skating in the era of Tony Hawk I was skating with Christian Hosoi, Pat Ngoho, Scott Oster, and other legends of skateboarding in the late 1980s early '90s. So as you can tell, I've lived my life in that world. When the original Dogtown ZBoys film was released I was 31 yrs old and living in NorCal and went to the theater alone to watch that movie and it was watching my childhood on the big screen. It was mind blowing. All those guys would get mad at my friends and I for following them around to see where they were skating. In those days you had to keep spots secret, like where someone built a ramp or a halfpipe or if someone was lucky enough to find a pool in a backyard that was skateable. If you didn't keep it secret everyone and their cousin would show up. We had our secret spot at a high rise building in Westwood the parking structure was either 7 or 9 stories and Sunday nights after midnight the gang would meet and we would spend hours racing down, riding elevator back up and that was Hosoi, Oster, Aaron Murray, Ngoho, Dressen, myself, my roommate, a couple other friends that all skated, clubbed and partiied together it was the infamous MCO documented in Thrasher magazine and there is some video also. Just thought I'd share, oh and I have an original ST shirt from back in the very beginning, Westside LA Venice, Del Rey, WestChester Locs for Life

Mike Muir is probably my strongest influence as a writer. I discovered Suicidal when I was 10 and my dad played the Prime Cuts comp. When I heard it kick in to You Can't Bring Me Down I was hooked. Used to draw suicidal posters in my notebooks at school. When kids made up a rumor that I was gonna hurt some kids and I was arrested they used that same album as evidence to how I was disturbed and didn't want to live. In my only statement I said that if they read the inside of the booklet they would understand that's far from true. One of my favorite bands of all time and hard to undersell what this band means to me. Thank you for making this retrospective. I hope it has done well for your channel and I hope your band continues to grow into what you want it to be. Because when making music that's all that matters. As much as the "anti-success" mindset that Muir might of had, I think his message needed to reach a larger scale of people. Even if for just a couple years. Suicidal 4 Lyfe

I really like how you caveat yourself like that and tell us up front that your knowledge isn't complete. I respect that. More KZreadrs need to say stuff like that.

I’m with you my man ! SUICIDAL is my all time favorite band. I’ve been listening to them for over 30 years and have seen them on every tour they’ve done since then.

I got into Suicidal Tendencies back in 86 and thought that they were a great band even though I'm more a Metal guy. I love the first 5 albums (as you probably figured out) I lost track of them in the mid 90's but got back into them over the past 10 years.

ST is my favorite band too. Great video and I love the fact that you posted this the day after my birthday. I have a couple of ST tats myself and have seen them in concert a few times. Your genuine love for the band shines through and I appreciate the observation you made about them being one of the first true punk bands to have a string of major label albums. Suicyco4life!

Also my favourite band! Hands down the strongest catalogue of any punk/thrash band. No one else comes close.

Great video, man! I’ve been a ST fan for years and really dig this. It seemed you’ve dedicated lots of time to make this and you nailed it. Thanks for this 🤘🏼

Well done. Back in the 90’s in Las Vegas my band at the time opened for Suicidal on three occasions. Being a hardcore fan myself, meeting Mike Muir, and watching them from the side of the stage was epic.

Great job young man. Suicidal are my all time favourite band as well, Along with Madball and Agnostic Front. I was 14 in 1984 and have had an interest in punk and metal from the age of 9. Bang up job brah.

this was an awesome video. prime cuts was also my first introduction to suicidal. from that first note i was hooked. i was able to see them live about 15years ago with my little brother. a memory that ill treasure. their such a huge influence and they carry a positive message. my favorite album is definitely how will i laugh tomorrow when i cant even smile today. the lyrics in every song are on point and totally relatable. keep up the great videos! peace

Suicidal’s first album is easily their best, and one of my favourite records of all-time! I remember buying the album along with Naked Raygun’s “Throb Throb”, 7 Seconds “The Crew” and Black Flag’s “My War” LP’s back in 1984. That lot kept me going for months!

In the 80s, Venice was a gang beach. So, yeah, I grew up in SoCal, they weren't just rumors. 😀😀 ST is my favorite band. They got me through hard times. ❤❤Saw them live with Rocky, such a great guitarist.

The most important thing to note was mike and these guys that worked with him over the years built ALL OF THIS THEMSELVES, they didnt give a fuck about what anyone thinks. They made what they liked and never said sorry. It was epic to see bands like suicidal come up. Real music, real artist, real energy and emotion. You young kids can do this at anytime you want

"Sometimes I try really hard and it just doesn't work out. And there's always someone there bugging me." 😂 Timeless.

Thanks for the pleasant journey down memory lane 💪

Great video on one of my all-time favorite metal bands. My teenage years were a very dark point in my life marred by depression, and ST really helped me through those times. Their music didn't necessarily make me feel "happier," but it definitely made me feel less alone; like I was justified in feeling depressed and thinking bad thoughts even if they were distorted by mental illness.

Love the thrash stuff, How Will I Laugh, Feel Like Shit, Lights Camera Revolution, love the Rocky George years, in general.

I discovered ST while watching a episode of Beavis & butthead probably around 93 i guess , it was the institutionalized video . It was only a short clip but I was hooked instantly. I thought it was cool seeing these cholo's playing heavy music. I immediately went to a music store and got the still cyco after all these years cd and loved it. I was 13 yrs old and suicidal definitely helped get me thru my teens and on into my 20s. I'm 41 now and still have a great appreciation for this band . There music is ingrained in my DNA...

This was a great watch man thanks for doing the homework for us! I guess I never realized how much of an impact they had on me as a kid subconsciously, but here I am 30 y.o. still skating with the flipped brim, staying true to myself, the real lesson I learned from ST

Been a fan of Sui since, what...'85 "I saw your mommy" then in '91 Isaw the band and had a brew with Mike in Germany for the "Clash of the Titans" tour They played along side Slayer, Megadeth and Metal Church. Awesome show!

I've been Suicidal Tendencies fan since I heard their first Album. When I heard they were coming to El Paso Texas I got my ticket and saw them play in a old barn with a dirt floor in front of a pig farm. This was one of the first stops of Join the Army tour. It was Mike, Rocky, louiche, and A.J. What a show! I bought a hat right out of their rental truck ( I still got it). I Even recorded the show on a small cassette recorder! It's not the best recording but how many live recordings exist from that era??? FYI the show starts out with Suicidal Maniac. Thank you for the wonderful history lesson on S.T. I really enjoyed it. M.C.

Great job bro. Thanks for putting this together for us. I've been a S.T fan for almost 40 years. I started out listening to them in 1986. But I learned a lot about them from this today. Thank you

Thanks for covering one of my favorite bands, I'm hitting subscribe. I first saw ST in 1984 and several times over the years, the last time was about four years ago. I had drinks with Mike Muir after they opened for Exodus back in the late 80's. They bring it hard every show. Thanks again. ST for life!

I saw ST on that tour as well (Toad’s in New Haven, CT). It was weird because the night I saw them, it was packed for them and then everyone left when Exodus played. It was so empty I actually got to talk to Mike a bit while exodus was playing and he said they traded off who played last every night.

I first heard ST in '85 and caught the release of Join the Army, which blew me the fuck away. How Will I Laugh... is probably my favorite album by the band, although they made a strong case for their further material as I saw them live in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Clash of the Titans tour (featuring Testament, Megadeth and Slayer) in 1990. Damn, Mike Muir was a big guy. I also really like the Art of Rebellion, even though the tone borderlines AOR in its softer moments. Still, returning to the roots of the band is nothing short of genius and brings opportunity to younger fans to learn what its all about. Awesome video, man. Suicidal For Life.

Saw S-T last at Louder Than Life Festival in 2021. They are still Cyco, still suicidal. They saved my life as a teenager in the 80's, Mike's words of inspiration helped me climb off the ledge of suicide, and now near 50, an old veteran that was questioning my reasons to live, Mike's same message, again, gave me a new perspective and made me reconsider. One of the few bands that stayed true to their message. While bands from the 90's that got famous with rebellious messages of being anti-gov, anti-war, anti-religion, now they shill for the man, the government, and corporations (RATM, Green Day, etc.) Suicidal has stayed true to their message. Believe in yourself, think for yourself, no one is looking out for you, take care of yourself, take care of each other, and when the man comes and tells you how to think, how to act, what to say, and how to live your life, put that middle finger in the air and tell them "Fuck You"! Suicidal 4 Life!

Kickass channel bro I graduated from HS in 87 so it was a good time for punk , Mike Muir is a cool dude

This is an excellently researched video. So glad someone did their homework.

suicidal introduced most the world to pantera. i remember going to see ST in Irvine California with exodus and me and friends didnt know who the opening act were, that week mtv premiered the CFH video. one hell of a show, ST, exodus and the new pantera.

Controlled by Hatred/Feel like shit deja vu is an amazing album. Love it!

@@acmebombfactory Dude, NO Mercy rule - actually prefer their versions to the ST ones - much more raw and such a nasty, aggressive album.

Suicidal for Life is a fucking masterpiece! Top shelf songwriting!

Great video! During high school, I used "You Can't Bring Me Down" like caffeine in the morning.

You’re the coolest nerd and I mean that in the best way possible, I actually got to see and play with neighborhood watch not too long ago in a backyard show. I think the guitarist is the only remaining founding member but still a kickass show. Super sick vid man !!

Such an amazing band! I'm 46 and was skating on a Caballero board to "How will I laugh Tomorrow!" Then came across "Join The Army" D.R.I was out, Sick of it All was out, Ministry was out! So many great SK8 bands that we got to see surface 🤘

Great video man. Thanks for the hard work

I saw the DRI poster behind you. Saw them several years in a row. Met suicidal wnen they toured with Queensryche. Psycho Mike got cornered by fans in front of my booth at joe and harry freeman coliseum (san antonio texas). We loaned him a pen. He was pretty chilled out. cool guy. I did the whole punk/thrash/underground scene in San Antonio. In the pit.

Awesome info on ST. Nice work! Back when I was in the 5th grade (early 80’s) our teacher let us bring an album to school (vinyl record) and we could play a song. I rode the bus with a punk rocker who let me borrow his ST institutionalized album. The art with the fellas hanging upside down on the jungle gym was a bit different from what my classmates brought to school. At that time Michael Jackson, Madonna etc was the majority of the album’s. Bottom line I’ll never forget playing that album even though no one in my class liked it or even heard of them. Shout out to Jeff Floyd (kudzu ganja) for lending me the album 🤘

Truly enjoying your material!! Congratulations and keep it coming! I grew up in the 80's in the Washington D.C.suburbs and was ( and still am) a HUGE FAN of the Genre💪💪💪

I went to see Suicidal Tendencies in 1987 at WUST Radio Hall in D.C. In the 90's that venue became the 9:30 Club which had moved from 930 F Street NW in D.C. S.N.F.U. and Boston's Gang Green opened UP that show.

Suicidal Tendencies is my Favourite band if counting only the first 5 albums, which i consider them complete master pieces! Decades later i still rock their music.

nice work with the history and chronicling the punk era in so cal!

I've been a Suicidal fan since the 1st time I heard How will I laugh... The original Album version is still the best version. You think it's so funny? Laugh at this! Fantastic band I love pretty much all of their stuff, and you did a great job detailing their history. I'm new to your channel, but I'll be checking more of your stuff out. Thanks!

How Will I Laugh is absolutely stellar from top to bottom, their best album by far for me…

Join the army was my first suicidal album, but How will I laugh is my absolute favorite and cemented the band as one of my all time favorites!!!

I'm stoked to see you have Dayglos up on your background wall. I'm from Victoria and grew up with those guys and that scene. Still my close homies and DGA still rip. Cheers!

There’s several bands that has influenced me, both personally and as a musician. But I can truly say that no band has effected me like ST. I bought the Join the army LP when I was in sixth grade (cus the cover looked cool and I had heard possessed to skate). I was completely blown away and continued to be so with every album. Here was this guy who put words to all the shit I was going through, all the thoughts I couldn’t name. ST, and Muir, saved me, without a doubt.

I died a little today was one of the first basslines I ever learned! Stay Possessed!

Awesome video dude! As a long time ST fan it was a great watch! My first introduction was on the still cyco era but I think my favorite album has to be join the army and how will I laugh 🤘

Dude, thank you so much for making these.

Great vid. You are less than half my age and it is very cool to hear your appreciation for MM/ST. I have been into them since high school. You did leave out a pretty cool fact though. MM/ST was inducted into the skateboarding hall of fame for Possessed to Skate. Pretty emotional acceptance speech too.

There is no more amazing song for incredible solos than Alone

My first exposure to ST was when Weird Al hosted MTV back in like 84’-ish. He played the video for Institutionalized and my mind was blown. I was around 12 yrs old and it got me into skateboarding and punk in general. A couple years later when it was first released I found Join the Army in a local record shop and took it home. I’ve been SUICIDAL FOR LIFE ever since!

Excellent video. I grew up in the 90s listening to them, among many other bands of course. In an era of half-assed click-baiting KZread videos, this video really stands out as a quality history of ST. I first heard their "Institutionalized" song. That's the first album I bought, on cassette. But Lights, Camera, Revolution is the one I come back to over and over again. I haven't even heard many of their newer releases (errr, since like 2000). Now I'm curious to check em out. 🤜🏻🤛🏼 206 4 life🤘🤘

Already a huge fan, Suicidal Is also my all time favorite along with Rigor Mortis, but hell yeah love yours stuff can't wait for more, killer wall btw, that Dayglo Poster is absolutely awesome as well.

Just found your channel and I’m marathonning all your videos! Great stuff you’re putting out, my dude

I saw Suicidal back in 1985, in Miami Beach. My dad was my chaperone, and he met Mike Muir and complemented him. Mike grabbed his head and said "Oh, my god. I'm so embarrased!" Ha ha. Love you Mike! You rock!!

Suicidal was my first major concert. also the band that turned me from punk/hardcore, into the world of thrash metal

I got into ST in the early '90s, starting with Lights, Camera, Revolution. Still the best band all around and I'm listening to any kind of quality music, not only punk/metal.

Absolutely Great Documentary! Lights,camera,Revolution is Definitely on my top 5 favorite albums of all time! When life gets rough and you just need that one tune to kick u in the Ass and get your Blood pumpin " You can't Bring me down " is Definitely my go to jam !

Opened with 'You can't bring me down' down here in Melbourne supporting AIC. Suffice to say I stage dived on the first chorus and was almost trampled to death. Fun night!
