you know flipper is still gaining new fans. im one of them. I love the simple lyrics and repetitive mantra like verses and their humanistic feel. It's almost kind of rational and wise in its own way. It's not totally cynical, it's kind of accepting and gives you an uplifting feeling.

[@edgaracosta-q5m]

simple lyrics ?

[@morrisalanisette9067]

@@edgaracosta-q5m they're poetic but very direct and to the point is what i mean. for example beginning of "life is cheap" is "Feel so numb feel so dead Just felt like someone hit my head". i love their lyrics for this reason. it's kinda funny in how direct and simple it is. I think it's good writing

[@Fender_Jag-Stang_Jaguar_Grunge]

I really love Flipper. One of the most underrated punk band.

[@DoubleO711]

Krist really was like the PERFECT fit for Flipper. He even convinced them to make a new album....... atleast he was a big part of getting them to from what I've heard. And then he left! :( Oh well, good while it lasted! :)

[@johnspence9718]

Thank you so much for posting !!!! Krist is great, but I really miss Will Shatter. RIP brother, bring the suffering to Heaven !! How are those kids just sitting in their chairs, bopping in place??? Where are the stage dives, slam dancing, the CHAOS ???? Man, I miss the old days.

[@sulky_grrrl]

One of my favorite songs ever!!! Flipper still rules okay.

[@cheapthrilll6323]

O'tay!

[@MrRioting]

Probably my favorite Flipper song from back in the day! That and Life! Thanks Flipper for being the real deal all these years!

[@honeymoonisover]

krist from nirvna is playing here? thats so awesome. a once teenager playing in one of his best friends' (i guess kurt was right?) fav bands. so cool.

[@Raw420Films]

This is so fantastic, in 1981 when I first picked up my bass guitar, this was one of the songs I first learned and played over and over on my bass as an exercise until my fingers would blister.

[@joaoidiarte4377]

Tocando com o Flipper , o Krist esta realizando um sonho de adolescência !!!

[@ronaldlovesthecla]

Bruce Loose is awesome. Great and underrated band!

[@chegroovera]

great to see krist on the bass again XD

[@AlabasterSmudge]

I was there and didn't give a fuck about the bass player.The guitar stylings of Ted Falconi RULE.

[@nikolaik1147]

So punk rock to hate on something popular

[@ComradeBuffalo]

goddamn krist I love your bass tone

[@Falconifan]

This is a great song to play on bass, as are most of Flipper's songs.

[@lahaza6515]

So happy to see this. I wish he'd have sung it without over doing it so the younger kids could've discerned what he was saying. The deadpan way it was originally done added to the feeling of the song.

[@bizchazlien]

FLIPPER RULES! Damn good video here! Thank you so much for posting it! Love this band!

[@SWicKLives]

I saw Flipper perform on the 7th of July, and this song was absolutely outstanding. They even announced themselves as the only REAL Acid Punk band.

Unfuckingbelievable. So right. So...so right. The nirvana guy so belongs there. LOVE IT

[@macusgeorgiev9821]

Great song! Tells the story of the world. It's not always that way, but many times it is. Don't leave kisses undelivered and sighs and moans unuttered.

[@JohnNelson-tg2ke]

I was there that day when they performed...just hanging out on Haight st. And I noticed they were setting up the stage so I hung around...this was so cool

[@yknib1964]

this is awesome, I wasn't expecting this

[@Falconifan]

One of the better Flipper vids! There needs to be more variety on here than "Way of The World" , but great nonetheless.

[@jabf200]

Oh man, I loved this band until I read this delightful insight. My mind has been changed. Thank you good sir.

[@tylerperkinson1677]

[@luisfersotelo7242]

Legends.

[@xkosisx1]

After the set I ran into Metallica's Robert Trujillo. He was shopping for Electric Light Orchestra CD's and didn't seem at all concerned about the noise emanating from the stage. I asked "what did you think (of Flipper)?" He said "They were great!" but you could tell he was lying.

[@roy_for_real2674]

Aw, man! That's the Amoeba in SF I go to all the time! Why wasn't I there?

[@bbungled]

Krist shouldn't have left. Although I haven't heard them with their new bass player, I think he did fit the band like a glove (smeared in bleach, heh)

[@davide.b8027]

I've never heard this song in my life. I've been a Nirvana fan since 1993

[@toxicmasculinity4098]

I saw them open for GWAR at the Ritz in Tampa/Ybor City back in 1991 or 92. They played one song and the singer threw a beer bottle at a fan and fell down drunk. Security escorted him off stage. Not a fan since then.

[@GrandChessboard]

yeah probably. but there was fans there of course. he was kicked out or did he decide to leave? and why

[@vinsilfon]

OMG!! It´s krist!! I miss him!!!

[@BurtReynoldstash]

Is that a record store or live venue?

[@xe989]

what if they had this giant fucking punk rock sing along that had nirvana , flipper , & the melvins playing in it at once, that would have ben the best fucking shit in 20 years

[@youngcollind]

@HoSKRevival Dude, you can hardly credit flipper for the existence of avril lavign. The Melvins maybe, but I don't see how this translated into punk pop, seeing as how the the ramones predate this and are a much more obvious influence on the bands you mentioned.

[@TheHappys]

SF is dope.

[@TheYoungACDC]

wow i don't even spect the bass was Krist Novoselic, the song sound great. ;D

[@JoseGranny]

That's the way of the world without Will

[@LeBurkz]

There is Krist Novoselic ! wow...

[@carloscontente]

What is this place? A church?

[@carloscontente]

True. Protestants actually put a lot of energy and life-wish on music in their cults. Diferent from Catholics.

[@sarahblack6765]

Krist Novovselic, is the best bass player in the world.

[@seydevilchick8]

best player ….jaco pastrius

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

+Eddie Def The Last KREEP no, the team of Will and Bruce ARe the best

[@whiketurner6249]

+Do It Now! vidoe's yeah! Long time ago. I met Bruce in the haze of 1984. I learned how to tune my amp to a room by watching Bruce do it at the Pyramid club in NYC. He was careful to get it just right. Walking the room, making adjustments. But I never saw Flipper live. Bruce was in NYC doing something called 'Altered States of America'. 'ASOA' was tagged everywhere in NY. There was an apartment on East 2nd street where Bruce and other tweakers, junkies, artists, musicians and weirdos hung out. I was there for a short time in 1984 while Bruce was there. I remember Bruce trying to grow herb using cat shit for fertilizer. Lots of strange goings on. It wasn't a scene for the average Joe or Josephine.
