I teach high school math in Anaheim. During Covid, I play music before my virtual classes on "Thrashing Thursdays." This tune is currently playing. \m/

Great song, great band! Awesome music. Thanks for sharing....:)

[@NIKKGAGE1994]

when my dad was 17 back when he lived in pheonex, my dad used to hang with the singer of this band, and he used to go to their house partys, he also chilled with jason back when he was in flatsom

[@faultier1971]

One of the best covers ever!

[@iluvdavegrohl]

Wow, this brings back great memories! I had this tape. (#oldass) Thanks for posting! \m/

[@hughesduguay5699]

I still have it on vinyl.

[@daevven]

Damn. I feel much younger listen to this : D

[@visualthings]

good energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song was a welcome incident in the boredom of my teenagehood

[@Lord-Elpus]

Jason was only on the first record (Doomsday...), but a few of the songs from this (2nd) record give him songwriting credit., including one of the best tunes from the early repertoire, "I Live, You Die."

[@kevinbaldwin4816]

When the world and music was so good

[@pepehurricane]

Totally Agree.

[@DanzoB79]

VERY good cover. I banged my head a good deal during the song.

[@jesusmatos5329]

[@Thrasher502]

one of the best covers ive ever heard...

[@KaiSagehorn]

Best version!!!

[@Nep1701]

I loved playing this tune in the car. Since these guys werent mainstream my friends would go "Is this that Elton John tune?" Followed by: "This version is much better!"

[@brutalictesku]

Awesome vid! Love thrash.

[@MIGELGLORIA]

I REMEMBER THIS!! I WAS A KID AND BUY THE ALBUM VINYL❤🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@MrJohnny583]

Hell yeah! Elton John meets thrash!!!👊💪🤘

[@fishhead714]

@ 00:31 thats my brother Jim on top of the crowd. He went to this show cause they were filming for MTV... He just died 2 days ago..... Wow... I am not sure how this is going to go.

[@THECLARENCES]

Flotsam & Elton!!! xoxo The Clarences

[@antkowiak11]

one of the greatest covers of all fucking time!

[@simonhunter3430]

sure is

[@darthmeow1370]

Rarely has a standard rock song more strongly begged for a heavy metal cover to unleash its full potential for speed and power than this one, and F+J nailed it perfectly. It's hard to listen to the original anymore after experiencing this version.

[@brigade911]

nah, I listened to the cover many years ago and to the original version many years later, the original rocks so much more and I'm not by any chance an Elton John fan, I can't came even 3 of his songs. I think the guitar riffing on the cover is horrible, robs the song of all it's vitality

[@frigidpony]

All they did was add distorted guitar chugs to it.

[@onedoomeyboi5870]

@@brigade911 I think It domes down to the production to be honest, this album is full of that thin mid-late 80s thrash tone. They re-recorded the album and redid this song on there too and that version sounds much better production and instrumentation wise.

[@jamesmoss3424]

It's a killer cover song. 😀👍🤘🎸

[@joeylodes]

"No Place For Disgrace" by F&J Absolutely Ruled!! I was beyond pissed back in the day when THIS song was picked as the single and video. You can just sense that was a friggin A&R rep's douche move, Because the rest of the album was killer! Not that this was that bad, but their own material, especially this album, was SO much better!

[@stevenbaksh5545]

The song that holds back No Place For Disgrace from a 10/10 in my book

[@davidscottfl]

damn this goes way back!

[@timbremm3644]

Hammer down!!!...Speed metal kicks ass!!!...

[@gungriffen]

Thats What Metal should look and sound like!

[@nickgomes9370]

Holy crap, I had no idea flotsam & jetsam was this heavy. I totally wanna watch these guys destroy the guys in Firehouse.

[@catatonic1982]

Great band, underrated!

[@cesarioj.f.g.7959]

Eternal clip \\m//

[@simonhunter3430]

An old VHS of an MTV episode brought me here. I have the CD single of it too, but my budgie shat all over the cover when i left it lying around and ruined it! :(

[@chriswar22]

AWESOME BOMB 80'S!!!

[@anthrax2525]

Fine cover of an equally fine Elton John tune. You never know who your favorite band's gonna like, do you?

[@johnnichols2474]

I remember rewinding this s**t over and over.

Mid 80's, Empire Rock Club, Philly. Adam

Sludgiest guitar tone ever 🤘

[@ZevenBoneZDowding]

THIIS LIKE AS A REFEREE. ON BOXING NIGHT WOULD S is STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLL THE BEST THRASH METAL BAND THAT IS STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TOGETHER REMARKABLE

[@antondzajajurca7797]

I was always wondering here F&J went wrong?!? They were perfect musicwise

[@philipposkasotis8658]

Great underrated band. But it can be answered in two ways. 1.This band never made a master of puppets and the fact that Jason left these guys to join metallica, there will always be the comparison. And I love this band and don't wanna insult them, but they never topped no place for disgrace. Two as time went on thrash was not the most extreme thing anymore, and had no place anywhere. If you wanted to be loud and hard you played death or black metal, if you wanted to be softer you played grunge. Thrash was harder then grunge, but softer then death and black metal

[@sargerobo5792]

@anton you may want to check out their most recent 2 albums, a self-titled and End of Chaos. Both are absolutely fantastic, and they can go head to head with their first 2 in my opinion

[@micahj9828]

Shot themselves in the foot by changing the guitar tone on Quatro. Downhill from there.

[@Rage-of-War]

@@philipposkasotis8658 you need to go revisit some new releases. The End Of Chaos, Blood in the Water, Even The Cold are all spectacular!!!

[@vapordreams983]

0:29 Woah, that's an Alabama moment right there.

[@THRASHFKINFILLETS]

The two first Flotsam albums are the best.

Fun rendition 👍🏼

[@straightedger9]

Love that fucking awesome crunchy tone....It rips your face off!!!!!! \m/

[@johndoe-qz3qe]

You could almost see the Posey coming out of them here. Thank goodness they didn't make a habit of redoing 70s hits.

[@DjJtown]

W.A.S.P. did the best cover, but I ain't gonna knock these guys. F&J were a part of MY gen and they will live forever with me!! Remember: IF IT'S TOO LOUD, YOU'RE TOO FUCKIN OLD!! Z-Rock rules!

[@WingDiamond]

They should put THIS version on Hockey Night In Canada! Or better still, on the American Version!

HowTH has this never been a UFC PPV theme before..?!

As awesome as this is, I'd give the "Best EJ cover" honors to Dream Theater's rendition of "Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding" which is on another level entirely.

[@majkellica]

can anyone bring back an old stuff by flotsam? Clip was the title Suffer The Masses. It was awsome. Please:)

[@theZodiacDigital]

@Beatlefan4Ev3r it's actually "poseur", look it up.

[@uchiabetrayer2]

@GoldCoastChuck no he wasn't, however he did take credit for writing half of the songs on this album. I believe this guy is Troy Greogry on bass.

This is how to do a cover of a great song.
