“The Shape Of Punk To Come” changed my life 🔥

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Mine as well!!!!

[@alirezamousazadeh6519]

Hey Dennis its a relief to watch your content after doing protests and hearing gunshots from🇮🇷

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thanks. The struggle continues and hopefully this will be a nice little break in between life and the revolution. Keep on keeping on.

[@alirezamousazadeh6519]

@@Dennisdeepcuts of course! thanks for your kind words.

[@nolas_church_of_noise]

Thanks for being a part of my life. I grew up with your music and still loving it. Greetings from germany 😊

[@hechticgaming7193]

Very first record I bought with my own money was Beastie Boys License to Ill

[@lupacharleaux]

This is amazing. The Shape of Punk to Come helped shape my music taste. And Give Me Convenience... is also one of the albums that changed my life. I really listen to then a lot when I was teenager. Cheers from Brazil!

[@rogeriofelipe7590]

▫️loved this video. Now I’m going to watch the following ones. You should write a memoir as well. 🤍✨✨✨

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

One day I will write that memoir!!!

[@trevordikes4982]

I've always wondered what was in your record collection whenever I saw photos of it, so I'm really excited about the series. I used to go through the bands in the "thank you" lists on records and cd's to discover new bands and it feels like this is going to be a great discovery adventure. Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

I did the same thing. That’s how you discovered new music before the internet.

[@klausbremner_autotelic_art]

Give Me Convenience Or Give Me Death was about the 3rd cd I ever bought in about 1988. I remember for about 2years nothing I listened to compared with Dead Kennedys. Still love them to this day. Public Enemy were my first two, but Dead Kennedys sent me off on one of many tangents in my musical journey.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Dead kennedys does that to people. One of the best to ever do it!

[@nathanduin6093]

Really splendid Dennis. I promoted an Anthrax show when I was 19 and contributed to the collage for Jello Biafra's first spoken word record so it was fun to see that overlap.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Ha, a similar journey! Still love Anthrax!!!

[@stefangeorgsson3803]

Hello there. Three records that totally changed my life is Fresh fruit with DK, Thou shalt not kill with Antidote and most of all MGE with The Damned. I still remember how the sun was shining in through the window when I first heard Love Song. Almost religious and I’ve been collecting records since that day in 1980. Cheers, Stefan/Existenz

[@PERxBERG]

Bowie ❤️❤️

[@Falayna]

Hi Dennis ;) I'm 23 years old and I play guitar, and, like you, I started with Metal. I discovered you with your album “Songs To Fan The Flames Of Discontent”. I was able to see you with INVSN at the Sonic in Lyon. It might have helped me at a time when I wasn't feeling very well and, suddenly, I have an older friend, the one who allowed me to discover you with Refused, he hits me on the shoulder, to show me Dennis who is enjoying the music with us in the pit. It's the first time I saw you in real life, and seeing you allowed me to realize that you were human XD For someone my age, you are an example and an inspiration :) Thank you very much to you and your friends for the live, and your humanity ;) I hope that I see you again live, and that my English will be a little more presentable next time XD (I almost forgot, I find the concept of your videos "extraordinary" and if you hadn't done it, I would probably have dreamed of it)

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thank you. That show in Lyon was fun!!! Keep on keeping on.

[@ElizaSkold]

Great list, and Bowie is a fantastic one to have as your first record. Nice seeing Anthrax here too - they've pretty much always been my favourite of the big 4 (apart from when I had a short but intense Slayer phase =P ). I have a few life-changing albums (In Requiem by Paradise Lost, Feedbacker by Boris, Prometheus by Emperor, Eremita by Ihsahn, Last Rights by Skinny Puppy, etc), but I actually want to especially give a shout to A New Morning, Changing Weather. It was the first of your music that I've ever heard as I actually found Noise Conspiracy before I'd even heard of Refused, and it was an absolutely huge discovery for me. I was around 17, and I was beginning to study sociology, and learning about Marxism and all that stuff started to get me interested in politics and social theory. Around that time I happened to come across Capitalism Stole My Virginity, bought the album (as well as Survival Sickness) and that really pushed me over the edge into actually becoming more politically conscious and educating myself, and become active. The booklet/fold-out that the A New Morning CD came with hade a huge list of books that inspired you, and I always thought that was a super cool thing to include, and so you got me reading stuff like The Revolution of Everyday Life. The other side of that fold-out had this essay about capitalism, consumerism, and the commodification of art, and I'm not actually sure whether it was written by you or if it was just quoted from somewhere, but I actually ended up quoting it as a reference in my final sociology exam =P

[@menacingbeefmaster5]

Premiers In two days, oml I can’t wait 🤘

[@bennylampret2597]

„Give me convenience or give me death“ was the first Dead Kennedys record I bought. It blew my mind and I still listen to the record. Jello Biafra is one of the most intellectual lyricist in Punk. Excellent record even thought it’s a singles collection.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

It changed my life!!!

[@OwlV_666]

Dennis, thank you very much for such a great idea of sharing with us your favourites and inspirations. I'm looking forward to next episodes, very interesting! By the way, i just started my vinyl journey and the first record that i got is INVSN - Let the night love you. Amazing album! Cheers!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

That's amazing. Good first pick for your first vinyl record! I'm honoured.

Beatles /Help get me into rock, then Metallica/Master of Puppets and Sepultura/Beneath the Reamains introduced me to the thrash metal world and Dead Kennedy /Fresh and Fruit and the Brazilian metal punk heroes Ratos de Porão/Crucificados pelo Sistema brings me to the hardcore/punk world! Great content by the day! I want to hear of you your 7" Top 5!! Cheers man!!

Right on man, this is awesome to see 🔥🔥🔥 we all start somewhere!! Also I agree, Diary of a Madman is the best.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

It is a pretty great record. Thanks for watching.

[@strangeisthenewfruit]

My favourite album from Ozzy is The Ultimate Sin!

[@strangeisthenewfruit]

But I‘m with you about my favourite album from Anthrax 😊

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Ha, I don't mind the Ultimate sin. It's pretty good but a bit to cheesy for me! :)

[@Nerevar427]

Honestly that feeling of the dead kennedys is very relatable to me, same album too. DKs got me into hardcore and Refused and Noise conspiracy really got me into the politics of it. It's really cool to hear such similar experiences from someone who was also such a big influence on my life. Great stuff man, can't wait for more of this

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

[@luigidamore8346]

Thanks to this video I discovered other bands and other albums to listen to that will surely give me more musically and culturally. I started listening to rock music around the age of 10, but one of the first artists who made me discover the blues and who wrote lyrics for social revenge was Pino Daniele, a Neapolitan musician and singer who my father loved and passed on to me the same passion. Nice video and greetings from Italy!

[@limdog5000]

Great to learn your influences. I'm always fascinated with musicians influences. Thanks, can't wait for the next instalment.

Thanks. Hopefully you'll discover some good music on this channel.

[@christophnolte2278]

Thanks for that! Very inspiring. I‘m curious, if there‘ll be an Episode about Nick Cave. 😉 A moment that changed my life, was when we shared the stage at a festival at ExHaus in Trier. That time you toured with AC4 (one of my favorite of your sideprojects)💖

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Ha. AC4. What a band!!!

[@arrowviper8882]

Found your channel via Sublimmedia. I'm really looking forward to more videos! First record was one from Tomas Ledin. Not as cool as Bowie ;) First time I saw you was with Lost patrol band in Örebro. I really liked that band (and the first solo album) so it's a shame no one ever mentions it.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thanks for checking it out. And yeah, Ledin is no Bowie but we all need to start somewhere. And thanks for digging that stuff. Makes me glad to hear.

[@persindinglarsen]

Så bra!!!!

[@OscarWildeBoi]

This was a delight to watch. I'll definitely check out that Anthrax record. For me the life changing records have always been divided equally between punk and hip hop. I think what really got me started on the path to punk and hardcore was Generator by Bad Religion which I bought on cd on kind of a whim, not knowing anything about the band or the album. I was at the time kind of getting bored of the music I was listening to and watned to expand my horizons. I've recently (couple weeks ago) finally got it on vinyl. That one immediately sparked my interest in punk and later hardcore and all the politics that come with it. Eventually it lead to The Shape of Punk To Come. That was at the time the wildest and most ambitious music I'd ever heard. I'd say it still is up there too! You can easily connect the dots between the first time I put on that record and my decision to go to university and get a degree in philosophy. I ate up all the courses on ethics, politics and aesthetics. I even wrote an essay for one of the courses on aesthetics about the "Refused Are Fucking Dead" manifesto. Sadly that essay is lost to time but I got a good grade on it, haha. Other records that changed my life include Aquemini by OutKast, The Archandroid by Janelle Monáe, Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro and very recently Body Talk by Robyn, to name a few. Anyway, thanks for the video. I'm excited to watch more of them!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

That’s a wild ride. And I’m glad that we could be partly involved. I love how music takes us places we never knew we needed to go. And thanks for your kind d words.

[@enemyz3r0]

Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@killingforcompany]

First record that changed my life: I guess it’s a mix of several or it’s just the way memory slogs things together, but I guess being introduced to like Evil Empire and (it’s corny to mention here, but I guess I wouldn’t be here otherwise) the Shape of Punk to Come. Records like these definitely derailed any path I was on and are still a building stone for who and where I’m at today, at least career wise. As a lil’ idiot in a suburb of Norrköping that still to this day is an on again/off again/almost exposed area it really brought me out of that bubble and then slammed me back down hard with another outlook on a lot of things, from how people are marginalised, to animal rights (the Jag äter inte mina vänner duet is the strongest since Celine Dion feat. Tommy Körberg!) and politics in general. This had a definite influence on me joining a political youth party in my teens, up until today when I’m 38 and working at the local union office (and I still usually crank the Deadly Rythm or Depeche Modes Everything Counts before going to a meeting with the employer regarding a dispute or whatever!) Anywho, later I got into things like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, and then to mostly european stuff like (some) Einstürzende Neubauten, Nick Cave, Joy Division, Current 93 etc, then back to the americas when I bought Swans’ Soundtracks for the Blind on a whim, didn’t understand it at first and let it sit for a year but then doubled down on it and then went through like 5 years in a haze with mostly different Michael Gira projects on repeat. There was a period of a lot of shoegazing as well, which I guess is the only genre I’ve identified with the most. Around the 10s I tried breaking out of the mostly male led music I listened to and got into things early Bat for Lashes, Dum Dum Girls, Cults and so on. Now I’ve spent the last almost two years obsessing over Pascals Fuck like a beast (incredible, subjectively the objectively best swedish rock album in swedish ever) and IB Sundströms (mostly) Antropofagernas Rike II. There’s of course dozens of other artists and records and if I wrote this down tomorrow it would’ve been pretty different. Either way, it’s always interesting to hear people talk about their passion so looking forward to the youtuber era of your career!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thanks Niklas. Evil empire and Shape are solid. I think that your taste will approve of a lot of the music I will talk about on my channel. Thanks for watching.

[@sirshady682]

Hey Dennis, honestly im really happy that you've made a KZbin channel! I love your music and im a new fan of yours (maybe since one and a half years? Not a long time actually haha) but i listen to refused all the time! Super hyped to see more videos :D Im just starting my journey with vinyl records and war music will be my first one along with reggatta de blanc by the police :) much love x

[@masondwellers5715]

loved this! You are such a great speaker Dennis and excited to see more of these videos in the future! First record i ever bought was "Chaos is me" by Orchid! :-) also i agree about youth of today. I like the second record than the first. Rays delivery of the singing is so goofy on "Break down the walls", i feel like it sometimes ruins the songs

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Orchid is a good pick. I like all the YOT records though and Break down the walls was such a game changer for me. But yeah, it's a bit corny. :)

[@jakeshort1991]

That was great! Excited for more. Now off to buy some of these records Green Day: Insomnia and The Offspring: Americana were some of my first albums. Refused: The Shape Of Punk To Come is the album that changed everything and expanded my music taste ten fold. 🤷 That will probably be fairly common on your channel and for good reason.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Ha, thanks. yeah, it's a record that touched a lot of people and I'm sure that I'll talk about more. Some good first records.

[@antiprime295]

I'm kinda pretty young (19), so I got to your Refused records through Cyberpunk. when I first heard those SAMURAI songs, they blew my mind away, and than a friend of my told me about the IRL band, which is, obviously, Refused. So I started listening all the stuff, from War Music to Everlasting and ended up being top 0.001% of your Spotify listeners, lol. I pretty much like Nirvana's Bleach album, too. I think you and Kurt are like the best screaming vocalists I could ever find, inspiring me to start off a band of my own (unfortunately broken up month ago, but I'll make a new one) and writing songs (written like 22nd song today). Thank you very much! P.S. Do you know any european labels that work with punk-kind-of-music by any chance? I was going to record some proper demos and start sending them somewhere, don't really know where to start.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

I love that you found your way to this through cyberpunk. Amazing. I’m sure you can find a bunch of labels if you google it. There’s plenty of cool punk labels out there. Good luck.

Dude this is rad, looking forward to more to come! I just added ‘war music - refused’ and ‘in.ter a.li.a - at the drive in’ to my vinyl collection. Always up for a good hard punk/hardcore music breakdown vid.

[@PARSIVAL.SEARCHING]

@@Dennisdeepcuts haha! Yes it is pretty good! ‘watch the world burn’ lives in my head, rent free.

[@Feelthedorkness]

Great video. I definitely agree that Diary of a Madman is the superior Ozzy album. SATO is about as good as that sort of early 80s mainstream metal gets. I absolutely relate to how you felt discovering the DKs. When I was 13 and went down the rabbit hole of Green Day to The Clash to Black Flag to Negative Approach to Siege to Drop Dead and so on and so forth, the course of my life changed completely (both politically and musically).

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

That’s a beautiful rabbit hole to go down into.

[@6godsave6thequeen6]

Hi Dennis, I want to thank you for this video. I appreciated how you turned it into a journey through your personal development and experiences rather than a musical analysis. Especially since it sounded like it came straight from the heart rather than reading a sheet of paper. Also looking back at my life I see some crossover when moving from Metallica over to harder music and those bands that kickstart critical thinking. Looking forward to more.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

I want this to be all about the journey and what it gives us. Just positive and honest conversations about music and art. And the journey from Metallica to Crossover to Hardcore is a fine one. There's a lot of us that has done it. And thanks for watching.

[@wnkidorjwwnveeenznap3697]

It's cool for me to see you talk about music that scared you since I remember being scared the first time I put the Shape of Punk to Come album on. I didn't know music could sound like that. Maybe that was my turning point.

I was also scared when I first put on Shape. But for different reasons I think ;)

[@mattvanmantgem8600]

Awesome start! I'd wish you luck, but I think you have skill enough that you won't need it. My first record? Well, the first record I bought is boring. It's Kiss Alive, and I bought it to be cool with the kids. But, here's a first record that's much cooler: My Mom is cousin to James Osterberg. In May of 1973, He brought some copies of Raw Power to a family event, and gave a copy to 6 year old me. ( He must have been very high, but there you go) My Mom took it before I could listen to it, but I can still claim that the first record I ever had ( for all of about 15 minutes) was Raw Power by the Stooges!

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

That is a truly amazing story. Iggy is one of the most important performers in my life and Raw Power is a pretty damn 5 out 5 record. Kiss Alive is not bad either.

[@ryeafamily]

Congratulations on the new endeavor. It's funny Let's Dance made me question my Bowie love. BTW I bought The Beatles Let It Be with my money in 1977.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

Thanks Richard. And I can see that, if you were there already Let's Dance is a bit.... different. But it was my first encounter and I still love it. Let It Be is a solid record to start with. Good for you!!!

[@ryeafamily]

@Dennis Deep Cuts this video really hits home. Madness OSB and Adam and the Ants were my first gateway bands into the Alternative. Weirdly Anthrax Among was my gateway into Metal. I still only dabble in it but Helloween is a mild obsession on my. Looking forward to next video.

[@jasoncecala757]

Am I being a homer if I'm from D.C. and say Minor Threat? That was the band that did it for me.

[@Dennisdeepcuts]

No. They are one of the greatest band to EVER exist.

[@xDynaBlade]

I started out listening to Metallica and stuff like that when I was a kid, listened to 80s metal and numetal until high school when I first started dabbling in death metal that I'd heard from my friends. Stuff like Opeth, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir. Also in high school was when I first heard Refused and that probably had the biggest impact on me of any band, it made me a socialist. I still listen to it regularly to this day. I actually own one of the limited edition The Shape of Punk to Come skateboard decks, it's setup to skate but I don't want to ruin it lol
