Death - "Keep on Knocking"

[@shadowheart52]

Best kept secret in the history of rock.

[@codjh9]

Them and Rodriguez.

[@happyuk06]

I discovered these guys literally only MONTHS ago. Where were they hiding?

[@jacktheriffer1523]

That would actually be Kings X

[@gloobark]

hidden secret

[@Scyllax]

happyuk06 FM and college rock stations played them at the time.

[@dyr234]

David would be proud as fuck right now, like he said "people will come looking for this stuff one day"

[@MikesfreedomTour]

Amen

[@MasamuneStreams]

It's really unfortunate these guys didn't jump into the huge Punk scene in The Bowery NYC in 1977-1981. They would have been gods at CBGB's!

[@johnharris6676]

I agree! You have too remember that there were numerous bands in those days. These bands a following like NY Dolls, The Heartbreakers , Ramones, Wayne County and countless others. But this band would have been a big influence in that era. But what a great tone on his fender strat! This just my humble opinion! Rock Steady People!

They were from Chicago

These guys and Hound Dog Taylor...criminally underrated... . 'Politicians in my eyes' is an all-time classic.

[@KingKull1971]

Another underrated comment.🙄 They weren't rated at all. Besides,....

[@MikesfreedomTour]

Right on

[@DXPunx74]

Imagine what it would have been like if death was injected into the spirit of 77 back then with the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Boys, and even Sham 69. That would have been so awesome. I think it would have improved punk rock in a way.

[@ddskreamer]

Thanks man! I was lucky enough to hear Death in the early 80's. Yeah, they had an influence, even if it was small in comparison the bands you mentioned. I wasn't into those bands but I was into Death!

[@MarcelinhoTheRock]

And they are actually good musicians, different from some that you mentioned, like Sex Pistols

[@miguelacosta5446]

pure hell, was good too

[@jadeangelica]

Yeah the white punk bands knew but punks didn't catch up

[@Slammerworm1]

@@MarcelinhoTheRock The Sex Pistols were actually a very good band musically; the movement in England was so sudden that a lot of bands formed quickly and had little time to play live and practice, so many of them weren't up the the Pistols' standard (they had been together for at least 6 months before any other English punk bands formed). For the first year or so of British punk, the Pistols were the only UK band who could hold a candle to the American bands, who had been at it for a year or so before them.

[@KatarnCrusader]

Would love to be in a different dimension, where this awesome three guys became the gods of punk rock in the seventies!

KatarnCrusader They should have. I hate it when bands like Big Star have these really stupid reasons why they didn’t get big although they seem to influence quite a few big bands, Big Star at least. I’d love to see a doc on Death. I love “Keep on Knocking”. Obsessed actually. G

[@cedricpidde2633]

I’ll be the 100,000th person to say it’s a shame they didn’t get recognized but unfortunately they didn’t so forget about that and just dig how tight they still sounded on this set ...FUCKING AWESOME

[@jeronunkoffunk9437]

Yes , most definitely my favorite and the first one I heard by them when they were interviewed and hit the spotlight again for the indie movie surrounding them back 2014or 2015 I went out and bought the limited reissue of their album

this song is about their neighbors complaining about their music

[@mickeyl01]

Haaaaaa Too funny! But I love this song

[@freakshow1822]

that and there was always girls knocking at their door wanting to get in to see them play cause they were in a band lmao

[@powertothepeople3820]

Yes lol the story is that they were practicing as teens and they were being so loud that their neighbors kept knocking on the door to tell them to turn it down and they told them to "keep on knocking" in reference to them not turning it down as they were trying to come up with a new idea for a song.

[@powertothepeople3820]

[@freakshow1822]

@@powertothepeople3820 did you watch the documentary? “there was some girls and we were playing so loud they were knocking trying to get in. We just came up with the words right then and there keep on knocking” there was that and the neighborhood they lived in wasnt so fond of rock n roll so the neighbors were knocking also. Words right from the band members from the documentary

I saw a mention of this band on some Internet article, so I started listening to their brief catalog and man, it was like being transported back to the early days of punk when I was a young. Great energy. Bought this album. Sucks that they went undiscovered for so long. Great that people finally get to appreciate them. I need to watch the documentary.

[@djboomshot]

So glad myself and the world finally got to discover the music of Death. Much love to Bobby Sr. and Dannis, but also want to send a shout to Bobbie Duncan for so ably stepping in to help carry the torch that David Hackney lit so many years ago. Long live Death ;)

Dirk Dierking 29 ppl with no taste in music. This band had great influences (Hendrix, Miles Davis...) and went on to play some of the best tunes. Tight, talented and punk! Why aren’t (or weren’t) they more popular I don’t know but look at Big Star ⭐️.

It was what they wanted it to be. A little Jimy a little Who a little Jethro a lot of themselves. They nailed it. They have opened the door for this 68yr.old to the possibility of punk. Even I can understand what they are saying. Words are important. Clarity please.

[@LeeGHThomas]

I feel the opposite. With a lot of punk and post punk groups such as Ty Segall, Jay Reatard and Thee Oh Sees I can't understand a majority of the lyrics... its the energy you feel when yelling thats so important to this genre... not what is being said. This is hard rock, not folk-country.

[@achmeez]

Thomas Lee why write lyrics, then?

[@themagnanimous1246]

@@achmeez cuz it sounds and looks cool. It's rad if you wanna write lyrics that mean something, but it's also just as rad to write nonsense and scream it just because you can

[@creaturefromtheblacklagoon9723]

Thomas Lee Completely disagree, I feel the whole ideal of punk rock is to send across a message, you don’t have to be the best at playing you instruments, you just want to be heard. But I guess that’s why it’s so great, because everyone looks at it different!

[@user-pp5oh9ee1k]

damnEh86 really? Like nothing about this live performance but I think most of the time punk bands sound better live then in the recordings, like they normally aren’t technically as good, but the energy is normally better and that’s really the whole point of punk.

[@user-gh8wt2zi2n]

It really depends on the band, it's not what mattered in punk but there were sum bands that were as sharp as a razor. As for everyone else, I believe it also has to do with mass beer consumption and other party treats. No one parties like punx
