D.R.I. - Suit and tie guy

[@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...

[@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?

[@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

[@mikeandkimgroeger7097]

Any chance this was in Allentown PA?

[@whitsixkiller]

@@mikeandkimgroeger7097 No never been to the east coast. My story took place in Tucson Arizona. Apparently there was a similar scene in Allentown. I don't think it mattered much where you were in the eighties in the United States of America the whole country was alive with greatest music ever written. 🤘🤘

[@burgerkingisslay]

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 🙂

[@R8d3rTone]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@endofus]

under rated band!

[@arnoldstallonereeves7469]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@mikej3853]

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

[@antoineofionnagain3113]

Me too.

[@eLAjay76]

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

[@SuscrofaBand]

Hello, we are a new thrash metal band from south america, would really appreciate your comment on our music, be it good or bad, sorry for the shameful self promotion but if we don't promote ourselves our music just gets lost in the immensity of KZbin. Cheers!

[@Speedwolf4170]

The soundtrack to my reckless and misspent youth.

[@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!

[@issaacxxx6202]

Seen them twice. Absolutely love them!!

[@MATTMEISTER1]

SEEN 3 TIMES

[@NIKKGAGE1994]

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

[@mos8541]

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

[@maugustyniak]

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

[@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

[@PinkPantherPunk]

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

[@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

[@MrG75]

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

[@Soundeagle3456]

[@pdnb4458]

[@larryjcamp73]

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

[@TheOldWitch]

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

[@jamesbentley7435]

I was born in 1994 and this rocks

[@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

[@frankiesdemise]

fan for more than 20 years!

[@edwardg1]

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

[@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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mybestregards]

This band will be around forever.

[@Full-Metal-Jason]

get all of their albums man. they're all fuckin cool. been listenin to them for 25 years and it still flicks my switch

[@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

[@MyLadyAbsinthe]

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

[@804safety]

[@gleneckert1]

[@TMalltheway]

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

[@crimsonspectre13]

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

[@diaboloetsatanas]

Really hope they come to paris france. To you all DRI fans respect.

[@shanereid8382]

[@Schooliday]

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

[@rangerrob87]

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

[@TheKarateLincolns]

We're playing with them at Waterloo Iowa on October 5th! It's gonna be so great! Can't wait!

[@OnePlickyDood]

[@666slink]

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

[@jdangernoiz5861]

Can't wait to see them in September 2022 at the tin roof in Charleston South Carolina

[@tulkyle]

went Saturday and saw them in Tulsa Oklahoma blew me away!!!!

[@Llyander]

I first saw this video on Raw Power, late night on ITV, when I was in my teens. Immense song, thanks for posting the video!

[@shabooba1988]

saw these guys yesterday at the key club in hollywood!! fucking place was packed as shit! best show i've been too!

[@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

[@strangersound]

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

[@skylercogburn6553]

That’s my jam

[@huntergriffin1994]

Man love this shit, my family was broke when I was younger first cd by dad got me was suicidal tendencies,he didn't know what it was but he went fishing team with one of the band mates dads and they gave it to him for free still got it love this shit,wish rock wasn't so pussy nowadays

[@MarvDawk]

kick ass band and song - bravo!

[@RebeccaCarr-b9z]

I miss my friend Josh.

[@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 ;)

[@1tobo3]

My favorite song of them!!!

[@FnCyco]

one of the best D.R.I songs ever

[@wabankik]

suit & tie guy was ahugeemblem during the late '80's,these guys aswell as The "dayglo abortions",..."cryptic slaughter","Testament" and"celtic frost" rocked hard here in the north atlantic,The maritimes,awsome times!!!

[@mrs.esterhouse1567]

Hey that’s a nice suit!

[@cpm72]

Seen these guys many times in the late 80's. Good times!!! Now I'm 40 and still want to leap off a PA stack watching this vid. Great band and cool guys. Feel bad for the kids nowadays.

[@manintheboxxxX]

wow,...this can't be compared to music today in any fuckin way...this is music for gods...

[@pvbranson]

I really liked these guys in Jr High. Still like them..

[@kenbgood4u]

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

[@zakkroks]

That reminds me I need to pull out my old DRI album! Thanks man!! Rock on!

[@shiknalt]

@CreepyFreakFilms they still are like these. you just have to know how and where to find them ;)

[@TheDamian909]

I feel i was born in the wrong period of time and see d.r.i,slayer,overkill,ect but i guess im the 90,s im thirteen and listen to this 80s thrash and underground stuff but now metal isnt the same

[@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!!!

[@jonnyverga]

Been jamin these dudes since 83

[@CHIPNDEATH]

awesome,, very good old days!!!

[@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.

[@kaffeeskateboards]

Best voice ever!

[@antoninstancl9198]

Won of my alltime favorites!

[@bustermcnutt2452]

The tracking shot at the end was in the Metal Blade offices in L.A.

[@thebroughamshow6985]

So underrated this song 😢

[@allthatgirlcoronado]

My first concert was D.R.I. they come every year to AUSTIN TEXAS!!!! This would be my 6th time seeing D.R.I. Next Sunday be ready for the pit, but i did hear pits are not aloud hahaha the bouncers have no idea what they're getting themselves into .

[@mkeyx82]

SUIT AND TIE GUY WITH HIS FASHION PHASES AND HIS QUARTERLY RAISES FEELS HE'S BETTER THAN YOU AND ME SUIT AND TIE GUY THINKS HE'S REAL CUTE IN THE BATHROOM FOR A TOOT UNTIL HIS NOSE STARTS TO BLEED SUIT AND TIE GUY I SEE HE ALWAYS HURRIES I KNOW HE ALWAYS WORRIES HE'S GONNA DIE OF A HEART ATTACK SUIT AND TIE GUY ON HIS WAY TO FEEDING OR AN IMPORTANT MEETING JUST LIKE A CAR ON A TRACK SUIT AND TIE GUY HE TRAVELS BETWEEN STATIONS WITH CERTAIN DESTINATIONS NEVER VARYING FROM THAT ROUTINE SUITE AND TIE GUY AND HE'LL TELL YOU IN ONE WORD THAT HE IS INSURED AND IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT MAY SEEM

Best song off the albu., this shit sets the pit on fire

[@TheLarryburns84]

I can't imagine going to the D.R.I. show during this era, going in the pits and coming out unharmed.

[@chetrok1]

Fuck no thats blood and at least a few weeks of bruises, i saw them in 07 here in Cleveland and it was fucking insane I hate circle pits though it's a trip fest

[@PanamaSabroso]
