Dark Ages - Nomeansno

This is one of my all time favourite songs.. Uploaded with full respect to Nomeansno copied from my purchased CD "The Day Everything Became Isolated & Destroyed" Available on their site: www.nomeanswhat...

[@Sweercheff]

That "Go to sleep" part never fails to give me the frisson ❤

[@SharksInTheGenePool]

Trying to pick a favorite song by these guys is like trying to determine which grain of sand started the beach.

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

[@Paul-cz4pg]

Nothing

[@alexanderruzicka5641]

[@SavariaHardcore]

This album was the soundtrack of my teenage years.... This is one of the most important albums of my life ... music of my survival...I LOve You Old Farts!!!!!!

[@stephansong]

Was so lucky they enjoyed playing our northwest Pacific shit town.

[@stephansong]

Old fsrts brothers rock. Have great pic of em playing scramble with their parents.

[@kirkbraito4509]

Yep....live at the river theater in Guernville...mind blowing!

[@SyrupBuccaneer]

It's still the soundtrack of my adult years. It just hits a little differently.

[@jouniheinonen5172]

[@mike196212]

Astonishing music from a band most people likely have never heard of. Tight as can be. Everything fits. No wasted actions.

[@mattsnider2667]

Well said, this tune is a masterpiece!

[@beaubarker6068]

That's because the small parts have been isolated and destroyed.

[@larslovelot1784]

Thank you Nomeansno for bringing so much joy, terror, pleasure, and unease in my life. I don't know what I would've done without you guys.

[@matinuskathundrrphukk3233]

Seen them 3x now and I danced , I laughed, I cried my ears rang for days !

[@yudi_nurfitri3781]

Should Be Considered As One Of The Greatest Hardcore/Punk Bands In 80’s Who Played With Their Own Style. THIS SONG IS A TOP-NOTCH !!! Thank You For Uploading This, Greetings From Indonesia. 😊🙏

[@kevinmills7067]

Out of all the covers I've ever done, this was my absolute #1 favorite to sing and play. Such a fun song. We love NOMEANSNO in eastern NC.

[@rozgonya]

[@pawelrozwadowski675]

THANX ! I was grown up on N.M.N. but they still suprised me in adult age - so i like it !!! Pity then they finished in the end of 2016 - it was shocked news for me !

[@kobked-x]

one of the saddest days of my life.

[@iGramage]

People grow, people change, just be thankful we got what they gave us \m/

[@superfreak_music]

We are living in the, in the dark ages Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages All the information is locked far beyond Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon And we're fast asleep with our dreams seething In and though all is still we are still breathing But it's him in the dark, he makes me null and void But it's him in the dark, I think I'm paranoid A world of half-truths, what goes unspoken Lines of communication are stripped and broken And the dark is cold with hands freezing But this deep-freeze seems strangely pleasing And the powr-trippers receive facelifts And the button-pushers all work night shifts And the misdemeanors seem so ghastly While the media punch is so lasting And the Eastern comrades find out much too late And free men are free to subjugate Under megashadow, under nine to five Still it's self-extinction that keeps us alive We are living in the, in the dark ages Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages All the information is locked far beyond Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon I don't know Go to sleep We are in the dark ages

[@jariak]

Love the lyrics...

[@schradeya]

thank you

[@kobked-x]

I am proud and happy to have grown up in the same home town as NoMeansNo ;) they were my first gig, I saw them play the Rats nest [a punk gig house] with I think,Black Flag and some other band, when I was 14..fucking changed my life, saved it actually! Viva Victoria BC Canada!!! Still and always will be my only Favourite band. Wish I could drink one more cold one with them before I die and introduce them to my kids, they also love No Means no! :)

[@stephansong]

Thanx for choosing Eureka, Ca, to debut what would become the songs on this album. To grow up loving no means no, then having chance for my band to open for you n DOA , was a dream come true. Vive le Canada.

[@MrMusalbibrik]

[@altothex9648]

Came here from the comments of a DEVO song called Pink Pussycat because someome said the guitar riff of this soujded lile it was based off that. And now that ive heard some of this band really like it!

[@nunbaiter]

Hightlight of my life seeing NoMeansNO and DOA at the SITE in Fortitude Valley Brisbane Aus. (1992 0r 1993) lol i was having a insane time back then what year i dont care . I saw em twice after .best punk act eva

[@Marchoupi]

[@vinceradical8910]

Brilliant song.

[@ronapunk8413]

Beautiful. Fuckin love this song, dark as fuck, depressing, haunting, and that's the truth what he said, we are livin' in the dark ages

[@wojtekd7717]

👌 one of the best punk song ever

[@StevlandJudkins]

favourite nmn song!

[@peterkrueger6518]

I saw them live, once, in Madison, WI, circa 1999. Bourgeouise Tour. Rob completely fucking chewed out a mosher for touching his effects pedals on the stage. It was the scariest reaction, to anything, I've ever seen in my life. But then they played this song and I got to shake Tom's hand afterwards.

[@Ludo_De_Groof]

@stoneygraved i'll always respect nomeansno but this lineup will always be my favourite, i really miss andy on guitar timeless album this is......

[@stephansong]

StephanSong. Had the honour of being the opening act for no means no n DOA. Having been such a fan, seeing both bands in our town, they brought us Pacific northwest punks so much joy. So ...to be able to open in 97 at club west. A gift. Keep on. Congratulations on making it to Canadian music hall of fame I think i heard? USA. Only few lucky ones we're rocked by you three. Here's a new song for ya. S. www.reverbnation.com/stephansong/song/399345-energy

[@crashonskis]

[@MrKmack]

Great old tune. Did facebook and youtube recently fuck up and default so you can only share to your wall instead of groups and etc?

[@reformtorta]

@StevlandJudkins this one and victory.

[@t0ast658]

nice

[@nunbaiter]

ha just rememberd i did a somersault of the stage and hit the ground ruptured me kidney LOL

[@mateuszwojak2092]

WYŚMIENITE

[@jolawalas9374]

Rzekłabym doskonałe... :)

[@cthulhugamete]

You're right. PROVE IT. Saying "ripped off" is a serious accusation. You're claiming nomeansno plagiarized YES. This is a public forum, don't you think you owe it to the accused who have steadily produced critically acclaimed work since the early 80's, to demonstrate just how this was done and whether said evidence even meets the criteria typically agreed upon by musicologists? Otherwise it's a] coincidence, b] too superficial to care, c] simple influence*, or d] you're wrong.

[@abineezerskeezer]

i need to hear VICTORY, where is it? someone need to upload that!

[@davidcollins8574]

What Heathen would down vote this masterpiece.

[@cthulhugamete]

yes because everytime a YES song is played another species goes extinct, crushed under the weight of YES's proggy pomposity.

[@Skagangster]

go to sleep?... i need to!

[@patpongrecords]

still fck great^^

[@battlepunchcat]

molt bona.

[@cthulhugamete]

it would have been a darker age without nomeansno

[@cthulhugamete]

* By "simple influence" I mean NmN hasn't cited YES as an influence to my knowledge. If so, then it could easily be artistic osmosis or homage by pastiche. Hardly a rip off unless proven. Besides I'm unaware of comparisons to YES floating in the critical or fanbase ether to give weight to your claim. Sure there's some prog in their work but any connection to YES other than cited influence, accident or verified theft, is so far removed that it belongs to the public pool of the genre.
