just an excuse to post this classic
Can’t beat a bit of Du. Or Bob. Or Sugar.
It’s all good!
apologies for Jimmy Saville at the start (makes you think) and also pre-ironic use of 'puff' as an insult.
Sorry, I only listen to nice music.
Pretty much anything by Discharge.

I didn’t think it was possible for a song to be better than Search and Destroy til I heard this.

Was reading the sleevenotes to this just the other day. They don't come more brutal...
I dun know Swans are pretty ****ing brutal
And then there’s the Buttholes...
So what? - the Anti Nowhere League, and subsequently covered by Metallica.
Not to be confused with the same titled song by Pink. No sir, not one bit. Getting those two confused would bad at a wedding disco.
One of the more vituperative lyrics I’ve come across, I would imagine the break-up that spawned this song was less than amicable...
Pretty much anything by the very cuddly Amazing Snakeheads
Not sure how this comes across on Youtube, but when you’re stood 6inches from a girl whose boyfriend has upset Dale and he sings it in her face.. its brutal I tell you
Brilliant! didn’t see the post above when I posted, 😆
and..
Still makes me wince a bit.....
Two golden oldies and a modern one from me.
I remember hearing this as a teen and feeling amazed at how brutal it was in terms of the lyrics and style
Another one from the Meninblack
And continuing the Stranglers theme the modern one from one half of Moldy Peaches </span>

SAucer of creme for Mr Sedaka...
Brutal just makes me think Therapy?

why is posting a video so hard these days!
Harsh brutality done pretty.
And, don't think Declan liked Maggie much...
The most brutal song I've ever listened to in my entire life
and probably ever will.
:'(
And, don’t think Declan liked Maggie much…
Ha! was gonna post that one!
The 60s had some brutality
Musically softer than my previous choices but no less brutal or harsh to me.
Hurt - Johnny Cash.
James Blunt.
Musically this springs to mind:
Lyrically (and aptly for this forum) this is superb, especially the second line:
Mclusky - Gareth Brown Says
All of your friends are ****s
Your mother is a ball-point pen thief
Notoriety follows you
Like beatings follow rain
Bring on the big-hitters
You've got a prophets name
All of your tales are lies
You've never been to Alton towers
Michael Caine doesn't follow you
And you've never been to Spain
Bring on the go-getters
You've got a prophets name
Gareth Brown says
Anything by Amenra or Bad Breeding should do. Both brilliantly brutal, particularly live.
I saw your Mommy and your Mommy is dead.
Plenty from Nick's back catalogue to choose from
'Lips 2 Da Floor' is the best video ever. Thank you.
It would seem some of your definitions of brutal would differ from mine, for pure sonic aggression and visceral brutality I give you angry white boy techno straight from the gutters of Den Hague.
Interr-Ference/ Beverly Hills 808 303 - Asociaal Hard Op Je Bek! 1996
(audio might be NSFW)
again a different take on brutal but what a snarling bitter song this is. all wrapped up in a late sixties pop song.
Female perspective needed.
.
The Wildhearts are good at this kinda thing imho. Here they are with customary subtley:
and here they are again
That second one, for trivia fans, features the last recorded (well, last recorded and released) guitar work from Mick Ronson (Spiders from Mars) - it's the middle of three solos, his is the slide work..
And finally this one, probably not such a good fit for the thread, but included for imho the best use of a very rude word starting with C in rock 'n' roll
EDIT: Someone point me to how you get the videos to appear properly these days and I'll fix this...
EDIT EDIT: Sorry, still not working, you'll have to click sorry. At least they're fairly short (especially the first one)
Blah blah forum update, everyone will leave, had to log in again, end of the world etc..
@edlong should just be able to post the url text, or the short (share) link. Doesn't work for everyone!
First song I heard with the C word in the chorus, was this B side of "out of Control".. I wuz shocked
(ps. don't click play if offended by swears or poor music 🙂 )
KMFDM a Drug Against war (Whish I could find a better quality of the video)
Maybe Not brutal and harsh but a great fan-made video and any excuse to post this 🙂
Great vid 🙂 (Made a few years after the song's release if I'm not mistaken!)
OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU POST A VIDEO NOW WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE UPDATE THE FORUM HELP KILL ME NOW
This thread is a memory lane marvel for me.On Spotify/YouTube later (left all my records behind when I disappeared from Edinburgh over 20 years ago)
Love the Feotus video, Feotus, Swans, Big Black.Buthole surfers,Wiseblood, Rapeman.......... were all part of a crazy time with buckets, micro dots and magic mushrooms whilst listening to music not meant for fragile minds.
Atomizer was the record of choice to give a visitor to skin up on, hoping they would read the back of the sleeve.
locust abortion technician is another album I used to love. Sweat loaf, human cannonball, Kuntz and 22 going on 23.
I’ll add this, despite being told it was hatred for vegans I still loved it and still think it’s ace. lyrics and guitar are harsh.
I was going to suggest Nick Cave too.
Stagger Lee and O'Malleys Bar from Murder Ballads.
Oh and Townes van Zandt's version of Dead Flowers is miles better than the Stones.
The original cover for Big Blacks Headache 12” on touch&go was brutal iirc.
shipped in a thick sealed pvc sleeve, it had morgue photos of someone had had the head stored in with an axe. Definitely brutal.
im not gonna google and post it...
what was that nick Cave track off Your Funeral, scum?
Brutal song, brutal video, awesome band:
The lyrics to this are pretty brutal, especially when you get to the last verse:
They powered up the city with hydro-electric juice
Now we got more electricity than we can ever use
They flooded out the hollow and all the folks down there moved out
But they got paid so there ain't nothin' else to think about
Some of them made their living cutting the timber down
Snaking it one log at a time up the hill and into town
T.V.A. had a way to clear it off real fast
Lots of men and machinery build a dam and drown the rest
Uncle Frank lived in a cabin down on Cedar Creek
Bought fifteen acres when he got back home from overseas Fifteen rocky acres, figured no one else would want
'Til all that backed up water had to have some place to go
Uncle Frank couldn't read or write
Never held down a job, or needed one in his life
They assured him there'd be work for him in town
Building cars, It's already going down
The cars never came to town and the roads never got built And the price of all that power kept on going straight uphill The banks around the hollow sold for lake-front property
Where doctors, lawyers, and musicians teach their kids to
Water-ski
Uncle Frank couldn't read or write
So there was no note or letter found where he died
Just a rope around his neck and the kitchen table turned on it's side
I think this fits the bill!!!
Don't let the upbeat music fool you...
Indeed.
Awesomez...Big Black, Shellac and Idles all in one place. I will go with some Fugazi:
I give up googling. WTF with posting videos on this forum? Do the short YouTube links not work? Do you have to do your own video tags?
just paste the link directly in, no formatting or nothing.
Cheers Metalheart. Does the preview not work then?
Just copy and paste the YT address from the address line at the top of your browser.
I always get the link from the app - if it displays the shortened url it’s not a problem...it just didn’t show in the preview so I presumed it didn’t work.
Balls

< happy to help Henry Rollins once said that R.E.M’s The One I Love was the most brutal song ever written.
Isto:
Does the preview not work then?
nope.
lose the ‘link’, just paste the ‘text’ and return it. Nothing else, it just ****s it up.
Copy & paste this but without the “ “
“
Another high5 for the Devs :/
Ha ha I am a dev and I can’t work this out.
All I did paste was the link, without quotes. I will try again this time pressing return after.
TFFT
