It s called CROSSOVER

[@KattMurr]

ST formed in 1980 in Venice Beach, California. The singer, Mike Muir has an older brother, Jim, who was a member of the infamous skate team DogTown. So in the beginning ST was huge with the skater scene. Definite mix of punk, hard-core and metal. Awesome band!!! 🤘🏻

[@shawnfaddoul8616]

Well Dog Town isn't a skate team. ZBoys or Zephyr Boys is and was a skate team. Dog Town is what the locals call Venice.

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

ST are legends. The Rocky George era is so killer. Suicidal Tendencies, if defined, is not necessarily meaning wanting to outright kill yourself....its more like wanting to do things that may result in a suicide, like taking a high risk that could end your life. Like skydiving and/or Russian roulette could be suicidal tendencies

[@F.W.ENDER.75]

Like being a Green Bay Packer fan...Something like that?

[@sugar2th173]

Suicidal Tendencies changed the game. They were like no other. Probably my 3rd all time Favorite Band.

[@christophneumann112]

Suicidal Tendencies formed in 1980 and their self-titled first album come out in 1983. They were almost skater punk in the beginning. The singer, Mike Muir, grew up in Venice, California which was a skating mecca back in the day. The album that "You Can't Bring Me Down" was off their 1990 album Lights...Camera...Revolution! This album was their first Thrash Metal album. It mixes the best of their Skater Punk sound with the power, speed, and anger of Thrash Metal. The lineup for this album included Rocky George and Robert Trujillo. George's thrash riffs and Trujillo's bass lines are what made this album my all-time favorite Suicidal Tendencies album. Trujillo has been the bassist for Metallica since 2003. If you are looking for other songs to play from ST, Institutionalized is probably their biggest hit. Others to try "Nobody Hears", "Gotta Kill Captain Stupid", "Lovely", "Give It Revolution", "Go'n Breakdown", "Possessed to Skate". "Subliminal". Also, they are definitely not banned in Los Angeles. This is the band's hometown and they still play here on a regular basis. I think Mike Muir is the only constant member at this point, though.

[@invisibledooley]

I love this era of Suicidal Tendencies with Rocky George on lead guitar. I put this on when I need to get pumped. Now you have to do "Institutionalized".

[@terrydavis7389]

this band, this song kept me going when i was a teen in the late 80s/early 90s.. im a fan for life.

[@byteblock1667]

Rocky George is one of my favorite guitar players. It's because of him I bought an Ibanez RG560 in 1994.

[@ArchAngelAG]

I've waited forever for you to react to this song. Ice-T is actually a huge fan of them and made his own version of their song Institutionalized which is the next song of theirs that you should react to. Or check out his band Body Count's cover of Slayer's Raining Blood.

[@randywissler9923]

This song was their response to the powers that be banned the band from playing in L.A. for a while for "suspected" gang ties. The guitarist in the stove pipe Pittsburgh Pirates hat that was doing all the shredding Is Rocky George, one of the sickest guitarist ever!!!! Also, did you notice a very young Robert Trujillo on bass? Went on later to become Metallica's current bassist. SUICIDAL FOR LIFE 🤘🤘🤘

[@shawnfaddoul8616]

Bro we're all adults and Venice Suicidal aka Suicidal Punx aka Suicidal Skins aka Suicidal 13 is a gang and has been for a long time now.

Y'all have to do "Institutionalized" , which proves they started out VERY punk.

[@2strokinit527]

To answer your questions about the age of the band they started in 1980 and are still playing. This song was released as a single in1990.

[@michaelakkerman407]

So I don't know if you two actually read these, but as a teen in highschool when they dropped thier first record Suicidal Tendencies it was pure punk. Short songs with just powerful riffs that stood above most other punk bands back then. Exceptions...Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys. After thier debut record is when they became an enigma beyond what anyone else really had heard. Thrash rap is what I can think of. It's in its own category. They were kinda the grandfather's of whatever this sound is. Alot of people were pissed because the punk sound was infectious. When they went thrash it turned alot of people off, but gained a different audience. Luckily I have been there from the start. Mike Muir has seen alot of different line ups in his band, but they are all fire. This band is an absolute original. From the depths of the ashes grew a great Phoenix!!!Suicidal Tendencies!!!! Check out "Subliminal " or "Won't fall in love Today". Off the first record. You can do both because they are so short.

[@alexanaya6820]

Thank you ST...since 1987 I've loved them. Just saw them September 23, 2023 Ontario.....💪🏽😎

[@tappingthevein1]

They're biggest problem was that they were the first band to have massive gang violence at their shows which is exactly why they were banned.

[@aaronblock7093]

90 Seasons in the abyss, Rust in Piece, Beg to Differ, Lights Camera Suicidal.

[@trauma_junkies2145]

Dave Lombardo who is Slayers founding drummer and considered the godfather of the double bass, is the current drummer for ST. just shows ST is far more influential than most give them credit for...

[@coreymay3063]

That line up was so bad ass with Robert Trujillo on bass who went on to play for Ozzy and now Metallica. Rocky George on lead guitar, just an awesome lineup. Pretty cool that ST now has Dave Lombardo formerly of Slayer playing drums.

[@AKJACKAL99709]

Not anymore. Lombardo joined Testament, and he was NOT on the drums when I saw them Labor Day weekend. However, Robert Trujillo's son is their current bass player, and that boy kicks ass.

[@BongEyedBastard]

Brandon Pertzborn on drums now, that kid is fkn incredible.

[@TF-lk6co]

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

One of the more diverse bands of their era, a white dude out front, a black guitarist tearing the shit up, and Latino rhythm sections, some of the time. This band's whole M.O. was a big echo of Chicano car culture and that sorta thing, as well. They have an interesting backstory.

[@mercedogre]

finally, been suggesting this song for a year

[@jgsrhythm100]

"Hey You Guys" was originally from the very hip 70's show " The Electric Company" startijg a very young Morgan Feeman.

Now listen to "Institutionalized" next. That song he is talking through it telling a story. They were late 80s California thrash band. Had their own vib compared to there thrash band.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

There is a subgenre of Thrash Metal called Crossover (the bands D.R.I and Municipal Waste are a good example), it's Thrash Metal that leans more Punk or vice-versa. I would put ST in that category, they're not pure Thrash an also not pure Punk.

[@disaffectedmale]

Body Count covered one of ST's songs called 'Institutionalised' totally worth a watch gentlemen.

One of my favorite bands and songs growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s, the singer’s brother was one of the original Z Boys from the Zephyr skateboard team made famous from the movie Lords of Dogtown and he founded Dogtown Skateboards which was the successor to Zephyr representing the skate culture of Dogtown(Venice,California)

They were the first band ever saw live ( they opened for Queensryche ) back in 91. 30 years later I saw them at Blue Ridge Rock Festival in 2021 and they still kicked ass and my 50 yo self went back in time. Fun fact is Rob from Metallica used to be the bass player for Suicidal and now Robs son is in the band. There are so many songs from Lights, Camera, Revolution that you should check out. It's probably the best ST album ( my opinion of course ).

[@jasonmarquis7586]

One of my favorite songs, by my all time favorite band. ST for life.

[@ColinFurness77]

Great song! Great reaction! I'm surprised you haven't reacted to Institutionalized yet. It's pretty much ST's biggest "hit." You should check out the song This Is Now by the band Hatebreed. Don't let the band name fool you. It's great hardcore metal with a positive message. I think because the singer, who had a very tough life, writes lyrics about persevering thru tough times.

[@nickbarela172]

[@JayTor2112]

They were more hardcore/punk when they started in the 80's and they went in a more thrash direction on this album. They were like THE band with "thrashers" in the 80's and 90's, which was a term for skaeboarders who terrorized the city streets by skating on everything in sight. D.R.I. is another similar band that was big with that scene.
