Incredible Reaction To The Plasmatics- The Damned

[@JustMe-us5zz]

When I was in a band called Vile we played with the PLASMATICS at First Avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota. One of the highlights of my band playing days.

[@satoricrush]

The late Wendy O Williams. She embodied metal/punk lifestyle. Never took crap from anyone and lived her life. The female counterpart to Lemmy from Motorhead.

[@cheripetty1805]

Wendy O. William's was the real deal and took no prisoners! Have you EVER seen ANYONE Surf a Moving School bus? No stunt people, no digital effects! Just a Gal who has the guts for Glory!🧨🦂

[@hosermcmoose]

" The female counterpart to Lemmy from Motorhead." I love every part of this. A compliment to both legends at the same time!

[@KimberlyAnnScheper]

Wendy O is a damn legend..

[@pamelatorres156]

Best frontwoman EVER! IT pisses me off that nearly every list of influential women in rock or metal excludes Wendy and she rarely got the credit she deserved.

[@KimberlyAnnScheper]

@@pamelatorres156 Preach!

[@rhondathompson6942]

@@pamelatorres156 GOT DAMN RIGHT SHE AWASOME AND DESERVE IT

[@jeffsmith6295]

Wendy O. Williams did a first rate solo album, also. She was a gentle soul who was nothing like her raucous stage persona. Gone too soon..........

[@DJLEGION]

Saw them live in concert when they toured on this albumin 1983 opening for KISS. Houston, TX March 10th 1983 to be exact - a Thursday night. Life changing experience - Wendy blew my 15 year old mind. I have all their stuff on vinyl and CD still today. This album is a MUST OWN for any metal fan.

[@pamelatorres156]

Damn I envy you. I was a TODDLER when the band was in its prime.

[@DaytonaGrey-RS5]

A few times now, you have reacted to songs that are rare and bring me back. This is one of these songs. Keep up the great job!

[@jacobprice8048]

She did all the stunts in this video. Including the bomb on the bus, and jumping off of it. She sprained her ankle

[@elkardona]

This song was covered by Distruction, a German thrash band. Check it out. I was grew in the 80s with this. Band. Specially the album Coup the etat. So I recommend the song "Stop" from this. Album. The way she died was so sad... Shoting herself in the head. Greetings from Medellín Colombia

[@mjaief]

Note the tape over her ankle while she tries to stand on top of the moving bus - she actually broke it while shooting and still went on with the stunt! No one compares to Wendy O

[@Chris__R]

True.

[@northernpunx1978]

It's hard to tell on film but, that bus was moving too. She's lucky she wasn't hurt...many times I suppose.

[@peo4989]

Wendy O Williams was one of mine idols growing up in the 80's. Amazing voice too for the genre :). Greetings from Sweden.

[@d4mdcykey]

Whoa, been decades since I've seen this video, brings back alot of memories from those wild days. Headbangers Ball was such a groundbreaking show, introduced me to a great many bands back in the day.

[@Oni-Ryu8]

Wendy was magnificent bless her I only just realised she passed away in 1998 RiP you awesome woman xx

[@paulbaker3266]

Hello...remember going to see her in concert in London at the Hammersmith Odeon..a great venue for all kinds of bands. Maybe early eightees...just seen Blondie on her Parallel Lines tour there. I'm sixty four now so my memory is a bit wobbly! Anyway..hundreds of hard core punks waiting outside to see this amazing artist..and half an hour before the show the G.L.C (greater london council) decided it hadn't meet their safety standards and banned it! I have never seen so many police suddenly appear! We left before it all kicked off..never made the press. R.I.P Wendy..I still listen to No hope for the Wretched in our ever evolving nanny state.

[@DaytonaGrey-RS5]

This was earlier than most fusion metal/punk. This was 82 and they were def one of the first to do fusion. They had their own sound.

[@salsonny]

No CGI There. That's her standing on moving bus singing.

[@johnlanham9057]

She does two amazing primal screams at the very beginning of Put your love in me; most amazing! You can feel them start from her toes, and rise. Amazingly powerful vocalist. 3:56 Wait for it..... 😁👍🏻

[@hosermcmoose]

The most ridiculous thing is not even close to her toes, before that she is actually throat-singing this song. That is something from indigenous North American culture and/or from Mongolian culture (there is an overlap from 30,000 years ago). It is an almost impossible sound to make without engaging the very bottom of your vocal tract! How Wendy 'O engages this and actually sings it naturally as part of her song is mind-blowing!

[@bgarr99]

Wendy was wild as hell, a beast on stage, but also a very soft spoken animal lover. She has always been a fascinating tormented character. I'd recommend The Plasmatics song Rock n Roll.

[@PlanetJ32]

Did you know that the drummer for this band, TC Tolliver is Black Chyna's grandfather? It is an odd fact..but its true..LOL!

[@brucegame1458]

the world neeeds the plasmatics today ! best one is butcher baby live check it out

[@garyharris2940]

My favorite song by the plasmatics

[@riphopfer5816]

The Plasmatics had a very cool sort of post-apocalyptic atmosphere to them. Their stage shows would often feature Wendy, clad in nought but a few strategically placed bits of gaffer tape and a welder’s mask, using a diamond-edged circular saw to cut through scrap steel onstage, or else welding bits of pipe together, or fuck knows what other kind of industrial madness. On top of that, Wendy went HARD. She could party like nobody else. In fact, She and Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead were close friends (and more) for a time, and she was the only woman who could match him line for line, shot for shot. Lifestyle aside, she was a fashion icon for a generation of taboo-defying women; more importantly, she was an icon of personal freedom for EVERYBODY.

[@thesoundofviolencepodcast]

Dan picks bangers. I owe that dude a tallcan

[@Music12938]

Butcher baby, clothes pins on bare mops with shaving cream late 70’s. Wendy actually stood up for herself at a Milwaukee show and got beaten unconscious by the police.

[@bryansmith5980]

One thing. RIP Wendy

[@Borna909]

Long before Nirvana, the Plasmatics knew how to combine uncompromisingly hard sound with absolutely catchy melodies on the album Coup d'etat. This song was a real eye opener for me. R.I.P. Wendy O. Williams!

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

Takes me back to the 80s being a 13 year old punk rocker with a raging boner for Wendy O William's!

[@trollson66]

She was the only female vocalist who could match up to Lemmy. Recommend their duet.

[@zmbstl_official]

That was badass! Never heard this band. Holy Moses is a great thrash band with a great woman vocalist too. The song Panic is awesome.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Dude, I'm still blown away by Iced Earth. Best band I heard all day next to the plasmatics.

[@zmbstl_official]

@@TheAdventuresofTNT I'm glad you liked it. Iced Earth is great and it's only gonna get better if you keep going down that road. Thanks for giving it a listen. Cheers!

[@justintuffo2801]

back when mohawks pissed off parents & authority

[@A2Z83]

that car surfing she was doing on the bus was no joke. Stiv Bators who was one of the originators of punk died that way.

[@WesBeech-v9e]

No, he was hit by a car while riding a bicycle in Paris,

[@x-wing8785]

@@WesBeech-v9e This.

[@danford6678]

Butcher Baby is probably one of my favorite songs by these guys

[@skulhed]

She was nominated for a Grammy when she went solo after this (she lost to Tina Turner). I suggest you give "It's My Life" a look. Her stunts are even wilder in that video.

[@UKEYsPOWER]

I'm surprised someone remembers Plasmatics and Wandy O! Cheerz!

[@ericrand6276]

Less rock, more punk is Butcher Baby. Of course the outfit worn by Wendy is whipped cream and clothes pins.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Lol

[@SkateSoup]

"Holy shit" seems to be the reaction of basically anyone hearing Wendy for the firat time. And again when they realize that's all her, with a little reverb. So glad to see someone digging her and bringing them to more ears.

[@Aguijon1982]

WOW is also my reaction and I have been listening the plasmatics since I am 11 years old

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

The Plasmatics played at a nightclub where I worked. When they were loading in, someone left a big wood thing near a door, so I moved it out of the way. Soon they were running around looking for the "execution stand." It was a prop for when they chain-sawed a guitar on stage. Ooops.

[@DanJackson1977]

Glad you dug it man.. they were really unique. Yeah Wendy did host Headbangers ball for a bit. Lemmy and Philthy Phil from Motorhead were the 1st HBB hosts... and Lemmy and Wendy were really good friends. Actually the first lineup of Motorhead broke up because of her. The 2 bands did a song together and the guitarist of Motorhead hated Wendy.. said she had no class. But Lemmy stuck up for her so the guitarist quit. Motorhead had a song called No Class that Wendy covered.. and Lemmy dedicated it to her when she died.

[@DanJackson1977]

Heres a clip of Wendy and Motorhead playing together. She was Lady Gaga 30 years before it was a thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaLVmo1qZZKNfcU

[@dreadtrain2846]

I was listening to Wendy O Williams in elementary school. I was a cool kid.

[@Roddy1965]

wow. awesome choices. Not the normal for react channels. Well done. Basically the band that could play in Fury Road, but . . . a real band.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Fury fuckin road !!!! Hell yea!!!

[@dalemarcum16]

If you like female singers try Warlock - Are we are

[@BLSdarrin]

It's "All We Are " , and Doro is still out there touring and kicks ass ! Last time I saw here live was the Dio / Yngwie tour in Orlando, she doesnt tour as much in the states

[@dalemarcum16]

@Gary Miller my bad tired when typing. Yeah Doro Peche is still cutting music and touring. Queen of metal

[@jensbaumann6945]

Come on man... cant compare Doros cheesy Boring mediocre somehow embarrissing crap wird this... Always hillarious seeing her live Posing for The wacken masses...

[@jensbaumann6945]

@Gary Miller right as The singer from warlock. And The only reason they were recognized was that she was female. Lee Aaron and lita Ford were way more talented, though even they were not for me And everything doro did solo was cheesy average at best boring metal. And man.... its always embarrising seeing her on TV in Interview situations in germany wie das fremdschämen Im into this since early 80s.... and always thought she sucks. Just taking advantage out of beeing a woman. Fake metal. But yes, for a long time I prefer most underrated woman in metal, Sabina claasen from holy moses

[@jensbaumann6945]

@Gary Miller Bull... i totally respect Your opinion man. Dont get me wrong I just explained, why i dont share you point of view. The Main point was that doro cant be compared to Wendy... and thats Not even up for debate. Thats ist Best to you its all good... 🤟

Wendy O Williams makes edgy teens today look like twerps and dweebs. RiP the Queen of Mayhem.

[@MrSeattletude]

I saw Wendy in 1986 in Atlanta at the Ritz. And she looked spectacular! Also, somebody punched me in the head when I was slam dancing. They really wrong my bell I had to go sit down.

[@bryansmith5980]

Wendy O williams was always her self. Never really editied

[@stevenfritchie7529]

Here is Wendy and the guys live. This is the song where she blows up a car on stage and chainsaws a guitar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKXdmOFpbV7arc Another female singer I love is Nina Hagen. "So Bad", "Hand Grenade", and "Don't Kill the Animals" ft. Lene Lovich. The last song they made for raising funds for PETA.

I hope you someday react to the band 'The Damned'.

[@alxbolt6225]

Wendy o not only walked the talk. She trampled it and set it on fire. There was no safety wires when she was riding on top of a speeding bus over a bumpy dirt road.

[@markbritt7477]

She did her own stunts

[@drdethpunkenstien9090]

did her own stunts, no cgi, cables, or stunt doubles

[@figjam9530]

i've been a metalhead since the late 80s. i urge you to listen to a band called Trivium. react to The Sin and the Sentence, or, Beyond Oblivion. i say this because they are the best new metal group i have heard in 20 fucking years (they've been around for 20ish years but were always full-on metalcore, their latest album, the sin and the sentence, is more mellow with a lot of groove metal vibes). their current drummer Alex Bent i firmly believe is the best drummer on the planet. i repeat, ALEX BENT IS THE BEST DRUMMER I HAVE EVER HEARD!

[@varakai4143]

You should listen to Power Solo or Animal Alpha...
