^Upvoted^.......This band was one of the pioneers of Ska music, from Coventry if I ain't mistaken. Song's over 30 years old, a very nice piece of music *history.

It's Ska. The weird thing is that it's a ska cover of a Prodigy song. WTF.

What is that type of music called ? I forget
I hate that style.
That is one lucky dude right there !


I think it's ska, not positive though.

this joke is 13 years too late.


Oh, come on. That was hilarious! Man, takes me back to high school. Parts of which... were nearly 13 years ago.

I have a huge distaste for ska music. And I can totally see the similarity to ska... but something about what they are doing here makes me absolutely love it. Good stuff.


No, there's no similarity to ska. this is just plain old pop music. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not ska.

Thanks!

Obvious statement of the year, but Metallica went downhill once Cliff Burton died. Justice was a decent album, and there were some good songs on the black album, but overall they're spent. I miss the days of REAL metal; now everything is numetal infused with ska, hiphop, blah blah, etc. Give me some ol' Metallica, Megadeth, Soundgarden, Motorhead, Pantera, old Scorpions any day.

Glad ya enjoyed it If like the band itself, check out their album "Everything Goes Numb", it's a ska classic.

"Would you be impressed" was a great vid. I originally didn't watch cause of "horror" tag. I was wrong. GOOD.

My grandmother was a big Moody Blues / Pink Floyd fan. That coupled with fond memories of rocking out to The Cars, Billy Idol and Pat Benatar with my mom when I was a youngin' has shaped much of my appreciation for rock and/or roll. It wasn't until my mom met my step dad a little later on that I was introduced to new wave and 2nd wave ska. When I got to high school, there was a big 3rd wave ska revival. Meanwhile I was rockin' the 1st wave and 2nd wave stuff, claiming to be too cool for that newer sh*t. That eventually lead to an interest in reggae music. Sublime was a very big influence on my life...

...I don't know why I like hip hop or house music. That's just random I guess.
