D.R.I. - Suit and tie guy

Video clip of this 1988 D.R.I. song

[@whitsixkiller]

GenX had the best music. I was about 18 when I saw DRI. It was a tiny club show no tickets pay at the door. We destroyed the place. Looking back now from 56 years old, what a time to be alive. 🤘😎🤘

[@rogerherrera2835]

Their mosh pits insane

[@dolphyns2000]

80's thrash was fantastic! I'm glad I was a teenager then and lived through this.

[@AnAngelWithHornzzXOXO]

🙋‍♀️ me too!!

[@carltonmorrison2148]

Me too

[@thresher.]

Lucky bastard

[@Mattalica-ss9pj]

I saw DRI so many freakin' times in the late 80's and early-mid 90's... they seemed to always be on tour and they seemed to play near me at least once a year.

[@garywickmiller9254]

High school 1979 to 84, fricking great time to be a teen!

[@vovindequasahi]

Bless these guys for helping to bring together the skins, the punks, the thrashers, and the metal-heads back in the day when for some stupid reason we thought we were enemies. These guys, Anthrax / SOD, Nuclear Assault, COC, Discharge, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.! Fuck yeah! People today just take for granted that we all stick together as brothers, but it wasn't always that way back in the day.

[@shelby3822]

well said - back then NOBODY disliked DRI

[@lolavicious7783]

ST are still criminally underrated.

[@drumtwo4seven]

STFU TRENDY MAN

[@billdavis6900]

Richard Bexborn - I was a hardcore/punk rock kid and a skater but I still had a lot of metal head friends back in the day. What you said was basically true but I'll add something to it. People often talk about the separation between punks, skins and metal heads but once crossover and thrash metal got big then the separation became between the type of "metal heads" that listened to Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Slaughter, Great White, Bon Jovi, etc. and everyone that listened to Thrash, Crossover, & Hardcore, whether they be skins, punks, hardcore kids or metal heads. You could go to a DRI or COC show back in the day and you'd see punks, skins, and long haired metal guys in the crowd, but you'd never see a guy with teased up hair and a poison shirt on. A lot of my metal head friends listened to stuff like Black Flag, Minor Threat, & Agnostic Front and myself and other Hardcore/Punk kids listened to Slayer, DRI, COC, SOD, Anthrax, etc. but there was nobody who listed to Bon Jovi and Slayer or Poison & Metallica.

[@vovindequasahi]

@@billdavis6900 Truth man! I meant METAL lol... Yeah with the "posers" there was a clear distinct line. The hair / glam metal bands were aimed at mall-rat high school girls, to begin with. I remember the line was pretty clearly drawn, except for a few of the more commercial bands like Motley Crue, Tesla, and Guns n Roses which were acceptable but you know on the verge...

[@osricwolfing4553]

This is funny because I wear a suit and tie every day to work and listen to D.R.I. while I'm there.

[@Speedwolf4170]

Do you still think your cute when you’re in the bathroom for a toot ?

[@mctavishomagh7715]

hahaha me too, but a teacher though 🙂

[@robertwilliamsjr9516]

Crossover is still one of the greatest albums of all time. Rest in peace, josh.

[@ismailismail-ox2kw]

4 of a kind *

[@onutube6392]

You're not wrong, but this one's 4 of a kind

[@robertwilliamsjr9516]

I realize that.

[@onutube6392]

Ok

[@philipemma2359]

Was Josh the lead singer in dri?

[@iddddaduncan]

Thanks DRI,because of this video and not wanting to be a suit and tie guy I've spent my life doing manual labor and listening to 80's metal,what a great decision that was! I hate you guys!

[@JoelB_Reckons]

+iddddaduncan Doesn't sound too bad

[@anidemolimacnauj]

+iddddaduncan Would you prefer the risk department, pop music, and slightly higher monthly bribe to finance the illusion that you're progressing?

[@DeToxik]

+anidemolimacnauj Haahhahahhaahhaa.. Right? Not tha' the 80's Have Ended...Y?? Suit And Tie guy, Always Naked...

[@SuperVerst]

+iddddaduncan So it is their fault you screwed up?

[@atomicamphibian1830]

Please refer to their song, "Reaganomics." That's what killed blue collar labor. Before that doddering buffoon, shitbag Raygun's war on working people and their right to a dignified living, all labor was valued. But it's been 35+ years of class war, started by RayGun (or rather his masters) and pretty much carried on in different guises in every administration since - including Clinton (who further sold out working people) and Obama - who has done little or nothing to change things.

[@Mattalica-ss9pj]

Spike has a totally unique sound and style -- there were no other thrash/crossover/whatever guitarists who sounded quite like him. You know it's Spike as soon as he starts playing.

[@hankgege2199]

That new ep they have out now still has that Spike guitarsound. Never gets old. And Kurt still sounds the same amazingly. The music got a little slower though lol.

[@soothingzounds73]

Same with Rocky George after ST crossed over.

[@R8d3rTone]

one of my favorite bands growing up in the 80's!!! and still a top favorite of mine now in my 40s!!!!!!

[@endofus]

under rated band!

[@arnoldstallonereeves7469]

If they just keep releasing songs or albums they might be big or famous like misfits and pantera.

[@mikej3853]

I bought this when it first dropped, still have the vinyl :)

[@antoineofionnagain3113]

Me too.

[@Biblicalgiants]

I used to hear this when i was teen. I never even knew what these guys looked like. Good upload!

[@guyup6612]

Pretty scary looking aren't they.

[@Speedwolf4170]

The soundtrack to my reckless and misspent youth.

[@mos8541]

as a Marine in the early 80s to 90s we used to listen to this type stuff ALL the time, LOVED IT

[@eLAjay76]

Our Founding Fathers laying down a solid foundation for us all to expand on.. Eternally grateful

[@maugustyniak]

Suits can be swanky, especially if you're listening to your old school thrash on your smartphone...

[@CyanideLovesong]

Big DRI fan here, how could I never have seen this?! I love the old school cheesiness of the business guys and the cloud background. These guys were so cool, and I had a couple of direct interactions with Spike & Kurt and --- man, they're just as cool as you'd hope they'd be in as a fan. Great guys, great band. Classic song, classic album. Thanks for posting this!

[@marcydarcy8934]

I saw them last week. It was awesome. No power lost 🤘

[@DroogInPhoenix]

Thank you DRI! I am 38, Dealing With It got me through my teen years along with Slayers: Reign In Blood and Suicidals first LP... This song kicks ass!

[@NoSleepTilDetox]

Damn, I remember when I knew the lyrics to ALL these songs... I still have this one memorized.

[@paradiser.2964]

👊 love D.R.I

[@OnePlickyDood]

this was filmed at The Omni!!!!!!!!! its coming back :D

[@jamesbentley7435]

I was born in 1994 and this rocks

[@TheOldWitch]

D.R.I., Best thrash band ever. I had this on tape when I was in 5th grade.

[@ashfordp676]

Just saw these guys live last week and they sound awesome!

[@pdnb4458]

that was 4 years ago buddy

[@mybestregards]

This band will be around forever.

[@scottygardner654]

Tonight say " the come and take it" it's mine and my girlfriends anniversary we met at a D.R.I.show 3 years ago at the come and take it and every year since they've played at the same bar the same night so this is how we spend our anniversary how awesome is that

[@user-yk4po2ln3n]

I miss my friend Josh.

[@PinkPantherPunk]

all of the DRI albums are awesome these guys never disappoint me

[@MyLadyAbsinthe]

I forget sometimes that the 80s rocked this hard lol. I should have been born fifteen years earlier. Badass for sure ^_^

[@MrG75]

I used to listen to this song when I was a teenager, now I am a suit and tie guy..

[@Soundeagle3456]

well that sux

[@rangerrob87]

Best album all time! except FOR slayer Jeff hanneman and Gary Holt Exodus thanks for letting me leave my comment

[@crimsonspectre13]

Fuck yeah. I remember listening to DRI when I was 13. Killer band. Wish I would have gotten to see them play live.

[@edwardg1]

I did back in 1987 , and i must say what a great show. I made it out alive.

[@NIKKGAGE1994]

same here man. got kicked outta the homeless shelter on my 16th birthday to see these guys. so worth it

[@rt98dak]

@speshalsauz dude if you were listenin to this back in the day,, you wasn't a dork. the late 80"s early 90"s underground metal time period was the best. best times of my life anyways. i'm 43 and i still like my music extra crunchy. some things shouldn't change.......cheers bro

[@ppngs87]

love this old 80's stuff , dri kicks major butt , thumbs up to all of dri stuff , thrashing and moshing , it does not get any better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@donbishop1634]

Classic thrash, DRI were the kings, one of the better shows I saw, they tore it up! I still have one of Spike's picks ;)

[@Nonexistanthuman]

one of my most fave simple solos remember watching this on headbangers ball its what got me to listen to d.r.i. great band i love their style too bad bands cant be like this still oh well time to listen to more dri!!!

[@issaacxxx6202]

Seen them twice. Absolutely love them!!

[@MATTMEISTER1]

SEEN 3 TIMES

[@kenbgood4u]

One of the best Thrash bands period and the punk they did was awesome. I saw them twice and both shows rocked.....

[@804safety]

seen these guys when i was 15 now im 35 & still love hearing them,brings me back in the day

[@gleneckert1]

804safety they are literally playing tonight an hour away from me...Santa Cruz. I couldn’t make it so I’m watching vids and hoping I’ll see them someday

[@TMalltheway]

You know what Sucks? DRI is one of my alltime favorite Bands,Im 20 years old and Im a suit and tie guy

[@jerseybrewing8194]

Potentially the most overlooked band in the 90s if into the crossover and general mosh pit sound. Applies for so many of their songs. Just saw them in philly and they were fantastic. This and Do the Dream were standouts

[@MarvDawk]

kick ass band and song - bravo!

[@666slink]

Man, this takes me back to junior high. Great album!

[@strangersound]

One my favorite thrashcore records. It doesn't get much better than this.

[@pabsrea8498]

What we fail to recognize is that a majority of people in that very same crowd became suit and tie guys, reasons may vary but the point of this is that you carry the punk beer drinkin wild animal inside and no one can take that away.

[@sarahr.m.4399]

hahaha

[@larryjcamp73]

from back in the day when MTV didnt suck! great upload!

[@FnCyco]

[@Heatfarmer]

Which Bad Brains would that be, because the ones I used to know sounded rather different ;-)

[@NIB1306]

To be honest, this sounds like The Exploited.

[@jlobiafra]

Lol dri sound nothing like the bad brains or the exploited. All those bands are great though

[@antoninstancl9198]

Won of my alltime favorites!

[@Kurosawa3]

One of the grandest staements on American corporate environment. Long live DRI!

Are you there yet? if not...I'd happily father your hardcore metal kids...you can drive them,I'll raise them hahaha

How has that turned out? Asking because I'm a Father that is playing this while driving my kids around. And, happily proud of it. :D

[@hinkelstein420]

@METALHEADSKATER1234 Right on man! I'm 40 and skated back in the 80's and this was one of the coolest songs to skate too. Used to think about this song when asshole Suit and tie guys would kick us out of places for skating.

If you want skatepunk then listen to Excel dude they are great. This is Crossover Thrash, Hardcore.
