Dead Kennedys 'Forest Fire' lip-sync mayhem, 1982 TV, HQ

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

What a talented band, I mean, to play such close to the studio version while doing all the goofy stuff.

[@curly-d23]

After that “performance”, I love how they just casually wander offstage.

"You guys want us to do another song orrrrrrrr?"

1:13 Jello gets possessed by Eric Andre

[@JossFromAnarchy]

I love how Klaus holds his bass upside down while not even trying to mime his part of the song.

[@TranzparentMethods]

Not even upside down, but BACKWARDS!!! Gotta love the DK of old!

[@JossFromAnarchy]

@@TranzparentMethods That's kinda what I mean.

klaus really shines in this video

[@wup1511]

I'm pretty sure the only person trying 2 actually mime his part was Ray. Every1 else just went crazy!

[@Danny3601000]

I like how Ray just continues playing as if nothing is happening

[@GazelyGaze]

Wass 'appening?

[@bobross4449]

He is the straight man to the lunacy

[@scenegirlrawrxd6228]

East, Klaus and D.H. are so good they don’t even have to play for their instruments to make sounds.

[@GazelyGaze]

It's voodoo magic!

[@laa0fa502]

D.H*

[@scenegirlrawrxd6228]

Laa0fa omfg i thought i put D.H.

[@craigl1641]

Some of the most amazing live drumming I've seen

[@GazelyGaze]

Incredible drumming, isn't it?

[@purpleflurple]

2:06 I love how he just puts his guitar down like "Well, I guess we're not even trying no more so..."

[@PraiseTheLame]

Rest in peace D. H. ❤

[@billiejoeeyelash]

I would do the same thing if I was forced to lip-sync.

[@theofficialassmob]

oh man when he threw the drummer on the floor and he just started playing on the other side of his kit my sides started to hurt

[@methinknot3869]

I look away from my phone for a few and when I look back Jello went from being fully clothed to in his boxers

[@dean107]

those are briefs

[@PanekPL]

DO NOT look away when watching the Dead Kennedys

[@entheogenocide]

[@TheEllsi]

"You want us to what? Lipsync? Oh yeah, we'll do that (evil grin)". This would have been even more apropos if they had to lipsync Pull My Strings. Would have been a double (or would it be exponential?) whammy of DK satire then.

[@Pamplemousse82322]

Scab DKs are playing near me soon. I have never seen them and will not without Jello. He's the face, the voice, the writer. They went from F the system to we need $ and sold out.

[@camerondodge2070]

That stupid kickline at the end gets me every time.

[@BIGromeo5711]

Lmfao. The BASSIST made this laughable but enjoyable.

[@Galang1897]

Finally i found it full version

[@skeetalite6234]

Klaus is a comedy genius

[@rilriiak]

I had no idea this glorious chaos ever existed because I've never been a fan of watching live shows on video or documentaries at all. DK uploaded it to FB today and I cannot get enough of it. I also disavow any knowledge of having scoped out Jello's package.

[@diegoallcaps]

This band is my favorite punk band of all time. This is true punk

[@shanelaredo1070]

Jello come back dead Kennedys is not the same without you legend

[@BacSledgeHammer]

This certainly aged well...

[@McGillicuddy849]

idiots did

[@BrianRoberson-k7g]

Someone who immediately regretted it.

[@janipauls3668]

The bassist is funny as hell! I laughed so hard because of him! XD

[@DavidfromBA]

Funny footage, thanks for posting. Am I the only one who was expecting an actual live performance?

[@GazelyGaze]

Thanks - and you're right; I should have titled it better. I think now I have!

[@drdanr]

Why am I just now seeing this for the first time ever? Klaus definitely did the best in this one. jello ending up in his underwear is par for the course with him...Ray was the only one actually playing along, which was funny in itself

[@bobross4449]

Ray was being the straight man

probably the best ever performance, thank you so much for sharing

[@OfficialHankIII]

THE DEAD KENNEDEYS ARE JUST DEAD WITHOUT BIAFRA~ EVERYTHING HE WROTE ABOUT AND SANG ABOUT WAS ABOUT WAS WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME THIS IS JUST MORE PROOF HE MADE THE BAND GO ABOVE AND BEYOND...... SOME FRONT MEN CAN BE REPLACED BUT NOT ON HIS LEVEL AT THE TIME WHAT THEY WERE DOING~

Never seen this one! Thanks for posting.

[@Telstar62a]

Reminds me of Public Image Ltd on American Bandstand a year or two before. No effort at all to mime along to the song, Lydon dragging people from the seating area to get up and dance. It was glorious.

[@RepukeinScapegoat]

This is better than Iron Maiden’s wasted years lip sync .... because there not playing wasted years . DK is the bees knees I never got to see DK with jello but got to see them with Klaus and East Bat Ray and both was were awesome but Ray was amazing guitar player I’ve been playing 15 years and can’t play those DK LEADS like east bay ray he’s got such a unique country jazz bluesy style infused with PUNK HARDCORE in his playing it’s odd but fits and sounds so right AND ALOT OF HOS PLAYING is very lightly distorted if any it’s very clean it’s like a clean amplifier tuned up loud to make it sound like it has some grit to it very good sound when pedals are added

[@nerikull]

It's GG Allin's distant cousin! JJ Biafra!

[@mandalayfilmclub]

Dead Kennedys, Oasis, and Nirvana have the funniest lip sync gags ever

[@crabmilkersupreme]

i love how jello just attacks east bay ray at 2:17
