Agnostic front es un cross a la mandíbula!! N.Y.H.C. y Buenos Aires Hardcore, grandes movimientos que influenciaron en mi vida...para siempre!!

[@dianalee84]

I was at that show! I always got stabbed by Troys nails on his jacket. Agnostic Front best hardcore band Ever! Thankyou and CBGBS for the memories!

[@-the-light]

I was there too! Same thing, bloody hands the whole show.

[@patscam991]

I would kill to go to a CBGBS show. FUCK

1985=The year crossover was in charge

[@xseflx]

True

[@MaximusWolfe]

Great hearing bomber z live. That song was largely missing from their live set over the years. Damn good song.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

Seemed like everyone was smoking angel dust for a year or so...

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

Al Sharpton inspired Public Assistance, the line about gold chains is about him during Twanna Brawley.

[@mauricioreyna]

Amazing stuff!

[@ericlassin953]

Grew up in NJersey with hardcore. Seems like an honest interview with boys from LI. But w a point . God bless. 2022.

[@MrOkkie5]

That's my friend Joey the Fish on drums! 5.15. Classic... What a man. I miss him.

[@petarticinovic2710]

Do you know how he died? I miss him, too. He sounded great with AF and GBH.

[@MVigorito63]

Joey was my roomate for a year in Brooklyn. He was one of a kind, no doubt!

[@hankgege2199]

It's Louie Beatto on drums for the live footage. The interview is with Joe

[@MrOkkie5]

@@hankgege2199 If that is so then the footage of Joey drumming from 5:24 and on is from another concert? Would be possible Joey and Louie both are in the video as there as another guitarist on stage as in the interview as well in parts of the footage, it seems...

[@hankgege2199]

@@MrOkkie5 yes it had to be. Because I saw another video on you tube of the same show which had more footage and Roger introduces the drummer as Louie Beatto. Also the live footage has Alex Kinon as lead guitar and in the interview it's Gordon who replaced Alex. So I'm thinking this interview was probably done maybe some months after this show.

[@jdarling024]

Amazing

[@petarticinovic2710]

"Existence of Hate" is a criminally underrated song. Raging thrash, existential lyrics. P.S. I love Kabula.

[@crivit1]

Cause for Alarm and Retaliation by Carnivore are the best HC albums ever guess who were on it I was just writing this down before I scrolled down lol

[@soulcraft_84]

I had this on VHS...

[@christianmarinjamen]

set list

[@blarneyvenom]

Peter Steele wrote a many of the tunes - including this track. Louie Beato played all the drum tracks on Cause For Alarm.

[@skinheadyouth66]

Fucking awesome 😅

[@unoojojoshua]

I tolerate HATEBREED, but AF are the GODFATHERS of the NYHC sound and will forever be the catalyst that all other bands of that genre aspire to !

[@lemmykonijn6261]

Bad Brains was the one that influences everybody right?

[@Druffmaul]

Great vid. I've always felt like I'm the only AF fan who fucking loves the shit out of Cause For Alarm and doesn't care for Victim In Pain at all.

Meanwhile on the west coast.....I had just turned 15 two months earlier. Surfing my brains out, chicks and these guys were on my top 5 list on cassette.

Yes, that's him!

[@HeritageWealthPlanning]

used to wear my cause for alarm shirt like every day in high school. Wonder whatever happened to that shirt

[@video3dvd]

Drummer is goin off! Sounds faster than I remember

[@celtiberian07]

This is when they got 2nd guitars and started playing bc rich and jacksons like the metal guys

[@66oderus90]

Hey, can someone list the songs in order that was played this night. Much thanks.

[@WeedVulva]

i heard Pete Steele RIP wrote the whole Cause For Alarm album

[@grahamcollins2350]

No, just lyrics for a couple songs. Lou Beats played on the whole album though. Apparently AF and Carnivore shared a practice space

[@Paul1287]

What happened to Joe? He was a great guy and a hell of a drummer. I loved the CFA album and saw them the nights in a row with GBH on that tour.

[@petarticinovic2710]

He died, in the mid nineties while he was playing in GBH, ironically. I don't know how.

Kabula setting vinnie straight on his statement about being ghetto.....that’s funny as shit. Kabula had the right to say that. He was pure street for sure

[@samewwahoo8283]

Nyc mayhem in da house

[@king802]

Joe Montanaro?

[@hamupinhere]

Nah I'm just talkin out my ass. Agnostic Front and Hatebreed don't sound the same and they're both fine. They can play whatever or however they want, I don't know what I'm talkin about.

[@ebMagnum]

Cuz AF were one of the originators of the sound Hatebreed and other bands got so popular for. Have you heard "One Voice"?

[@johngilljr8149]

That record came out after biohazard and early madball if I remember ( I’m old my mind is hazy). They are the original bands for that sound. Hardcore and hip hop

[@RS70_UGHC]

Is this Louie on Drums? Gotta be

[@jasonus]

yes it is.

Not him it's that guy in the interview Joe playing drums

[@6penas]

The chick at 6:35 gets smashed and jumps back up and into the crowd. Thats fucking hardcore.

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

Live at cbgb's got me into Agnostic Front. Timeless music that transcends genres. Its hardcore, its punk, its oi, its metal, and its influences and effects are far reaching.

[@naspoja]

Yes! It's a bit of all goodies. Fucking awesome .

[@kookadams85]

They get labeled hardcore but it's identical to thrash metal; hardcore is Fear, black flag, angry Samoans etc

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

@@kookadams85 if you listen to their early stuff its hardcore. That's how they started out. The thrashy stuff didn't come until the cause for alarm lp(3rd record). Been listening to them since the 80's. I know what hardcore punk is. I wouldn't consider fear or black flag or angry samoans hardcore. More like hardcore punk. Whereas stuff like jerry's kids,minor threat, necros,and negative approach i would say is actual hardcore.

[@kookadams85]

@@justsomedudeyouknow8372 hardcore IS hardcore punk, hardcore is Short for hardcore punk

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

@@kookadams85 Nope. Hardcore and hardcore punk aren't the same. Two very distinct sub genres of punk. That goes for fashion and music.

[@Zendrive13]

Its ghetto enough 😂

[@lesterhalfjr]

Agnostic Front their whole career living down Cause For Alarm

[@petarticinovic2710]

No offence, but that comment is a little difficult to take seriously from a guy with a video on his channel called "Cattle Rasslin' Mini Challenge." CFA is their biggest selling record, too.

[@jaecrowther7869]

Should be a gold record

[@lesterhalfjr]

@@petarticinovic2710 I noticed he doesn't sing like that anymore

[@farbercasteel]

Watch the interview starting 14:30. Rob Kabula is the only honest guy when it comes to NYHC: it's asuburban american middle class thing. Vinnie and Roger are ridiculous hypocrites: how true you are to the music, c'mon!

[@lionellopezhuels]

A beautiful place 🤣😂🤣🤣 , maybe most people don’t image what’s lower east side looks in 80’ , it was dirty , dark , abandoned , all buildings were old like a shit , it was like a war zone .

[@cpf383]

Great observation. I really enjoy the music but it’s ridiculous how phony it is. Bands just keep pumping the “city/gang/hip hop/jail bird image”. I can’t relate to that. Never have, never will. Look at how they are in this video, then look at their newer stuff. Gangbangers.... In that interview, Kabula called them out. If you listen closely, Roger says he’s from Jersey. If you listen more closely, you’ll hear them say, “This isn’t going in”. I was friends with an older guy that got me into hardcore and punk years ago. He always said they were goofs. Hahaha. I still like them though.

[@j6865]

The whole punk scene was a waste of time.

[@lancestone4409]

What would be more fulfilling? Sitting at home watching Barney Miller?
