Today's Metal Track is brought to you by Suicidal Tendencies. It's more Hardcore Punk but whatever. This is the only single released from their 1983 self-titled debut album. This is probably still the band's most popular song. It has been a staple in the band's live performances since it was first performed in 1982.
The song is unique because of the structure, or lack there of, in the lyrics which are a string of run-on sentences that are spoken. The song and the video are told from the perspective of a young Mike Muir who talks about numerous social conflicts with friends, authority figures, and most importantly his parents. Tom Araya from slayer makes a small cameo at the 35 second mark when he pushes Mike.
Most memorable line that has been used by many bands including Limp Bizkit:
"All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi"
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
