A Band Called Death, first Punk Band from Detroit

[@carlbrooksjr1146]

As a 54 year old black rocker from Detroit who got mistreated by the other black people for the first 30 years of his life for being into white and black rock bands I just want to say i'm proud of Death extreamly proud and iI hope to meet and jam with them someday

[@pimtool9351]

"mistreated"?

[@stephenpaulharper]

Really? While that's awful, it might be a Detroit thing. My Black friends in Atlanta were just as much into music from other ethnicities as I was. If they got any grief from it. I was unaware. Maybe that's naive of me, but I doubt it.

[@dawnprice4252]

Wow and watching the documentary you guys are awesome wow that's all I can say is wow amazing

[@joeshatterstar27]

These guys are legends. They aren't well known because true punk bands don't sell out to big labels that want to control their music creativity. Not everybody has a price...something that the extreme rich don't understand.

[@richardhk3]

Good music, but they should have gotten a different name. That name scares me. They could have been bigger than the Beach Boys.

[@steve-bk1qd]

Awesome performance...there's a metal band called Death who came along later...fuck them...these boys are the real deal...cool as fuck

[@erichramone]

Awesome. Love the story of this band. This story has too bring a smile to your face.

[@iosiasaemilius2795]

it seems that every proto punk band from detroit likes James Brown that much

[@denvier91]

These guys could of been legends

[@rowanw1131]

they are dude dont let the the views fool you

[@richardhk3]

@SOB. Good ear.They will be.

[@jarrodlee1506]

They are now. Appreciated years later like the stooges I guess

[@antoniomontana386]

Dont you think they are..their story has become history only heads know..aint that what music fans want?

[@bezzarguy]

Growing up in Detroit being deep in the local music scene, MC5 The Frost, Iggy, ( the Grande, Eastown, Mich. Palace) at the time these guys were out, I'm not sure how I totally missed them. Weird. Oh, by the way, they're really good.

[@clifton250]

Have just this afternoon got my hands on the DVD and i must say it is an excellent purchase. Their full story is absolutely remarkable! Just goes to show, anything is possible! Cheers!

[@reborn3288]

That black scream is out of this world! Goose Bumps!

[@troyjon9]

One of the songs I have ever heard...Straight bad ass

[@johncruzan2041]

David Hackney called it. Greatness can't be denied.

[@troyjon9]

Sorry wanted to say, one of the best song I've heard...

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

To be fair, the MC5 was probably the first protopunk band from Detroit, but I sound like a jerk for saying that. Either way, this is a great band.

[@bezzarguy]

These guys were out around the same time as the MC5, punk didn't come till later, 75,76.

[@allanwatts5487]

Tuco Malatesta Well fuckin said

[@MENACER5000]

These guys should've been known years ago.

[@octofish]

Legends. Their story is quite unbelievable. Thin threads. Greatness!

[@impalaman9707]

It pisses me right off to see live music with such high energy, and people are just standing their like statues just staring at them! Get your ass up and boogie, dance, bang your head, slam dance, mosh---SOMETHING! For all they been through, they deserve way more respect than just to be stared at!

[@justinthomas7222]

Why are so many of my favorite bands Power Trios?

[@impalaman9707]

Me Too! Death, James Gang, Budgie, Grand Funk Railroad, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Rush, Bang, Sir Lord Baltimore, Triumph---I had this dream once of putting together a rock festival that had nothing but Power trios---and it would have been the best rock festival ever because power trios kick ass!

[@Scyllax]

They were one the American punk bands that the British punk bands copied, and they sold them back to us a few years later.

[@andylaughs]

I swear that could be Rob Tyner singing the chorus ...

[@amanparade445]

why didn't I know these guys earlier in my life??? they rock

[@MrMikeq21]

oooo. the bass. epic!

[@MrMikeq21]

please tour new zealand. I'm a punk fan. the sound is amazing. it's ... no words

[@noahb4645]

Excuse me, i thought death was a death metal band from tampa bay florida

[@nonesovile8812]

All I've known was "death" from Tampa but after seeing a documentary about this band, these fellas were forgotten legends for the better half of 30 plus years. As much as Florida's death has been a legendary band you can't deny these cats for what they have done.

[@MrMikeq21]

please come to new Zealand. hit the radio station " the rock" up about how to make it happen.

[@sherrydixon4852]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@anggaardian3220]

Good a song

[@nonosrendiremos...254]

Fucking great Hello from Venezuela,Colombia and México

[@ericenloe9753]

MC5 The Stooges & The Frost were all before this band and all from Detroit

[@outtathyme5679]

So do the Red Hot Chili Peppers pay these guys royalties?

[@keanuismyfather7477]

Y?

[@s.w.d.s.airsoft6585]

Where are the moshpits tho?

[@Krrrimmi]

Ooops! Wrong vid.

[@andressellerst]

Politicians in my eyes

[@reborn3288]

Guys this is Proto-punk not the punk you are used to hearing. Please bear that in mind.

[@crsmith845]

Still better than what you can do!!😁

[@TwoGunToast]

Too bad they have the same name is a heavy metal band called Death and there's also the band called Daath which is really similar too lolz

[@dannyhood7428]

I don't think those bands were born yet. Although 'death' the metal band was I'm sure. I haven't listened for years were good though almost abstract progressive almost. I could be wrong, but heard that guy passed away.

[@MrAschiff]

Sounds more like heavy metal rather than punk...

[@anarchynz]

+Andrew Schiff sounds way more punk

[@MrAschiff]

+Anakin Hunter Listen to the Sex Pistols then listen to them again.

[@SanderogSten]

+Andrew Schiff Every punk band is different!

[@fuckcops47]

sounds like bad brains to me

[@orangetoes223]

their bassist is way more talented than their guitarist

[@Istolemyownusername]

that strat sounds wimpy

[@thereptilian3268]

lame

[@simondavies4]

I don't like reformations. That guitarist is terrible.

[@charlottesmithi6524]

They're better than you !!
