Anthrax - Starting Up A Posse Lyrics

I love this song!

I haven't heard that song since i was 14. Im 42 now. I loved it then, now i think i t gave me ass cancer.

A song so relevant for the times

So now I'm telling you people that my ex is a fucking hore that's all she is and I'm mabe offensive and my message is mabe not right but she is a fucking hore that's all she is

I always loved the way they pitch shift the moans to match the tune in parts.


"Something that might be offensive to you, might not be offensive to me" - 2019

Is that Billy Milano?

Haven't heard this song in about 20 years but I still remember the 7 words

That's what Donald trump says.

I love it.

*Listens to song*....*Runs for safespace*

WHAAAT?? YouTube hasn't censored this free thinking speech yet? No snowflakes have reported it as offensive? Amazing. Long live freedom

Gillette should take special notes here.
But they are too fucking retarded.
Long live ANTHRAX

This song triggers me. As a fan of Taylor Swift I'm going to cry in my gender neutral safespace.

Who is Taylor Swift and what is a safe space? All you cry baby lefties, welcome to the real world where no one gives a shit about your feelings.

Say what you will anthrax was ahead of their time , intellectuals of their time to say the very least

you drew anthrax wrong. the r and t connect

Kind of sad that a song from 91 is more relevant now than ever

I feel like it will always be relevant

Back then, the debate was about decency. Now, it’s about ideology. And that is a hell of a lot more frightening.

banned from Wal-Mart

Fuck Wal-Mart I am sticking with Amazon.

At 3:40, "...And this ain't sexist either". Every snowflake should have to listen to this song, repeatedly

Steve Drouillard this took aim at snowflakes long before they took over. We should have listened to anthrax

This song is not about snowflakes...its censorship...get it right..........the term "snowflake" is made by bullies, racists and people who discriminate against others who get called out on thier crap still blaming and finding a new ways to blame and the victim by saying they are babies or "delicate" for taking offence to it. Just because you can say something does not mean you should. You should listen to this song repeatedly and maybe you will get the right message. This song got it right with dont like it dont buy it....it does not mean we got free speech so we can spout out discrimination and snowfakes should shut up......we live in a world where you turn on the internet and you hear N-words and other crap and people like you say others are snowflakes who take offence. I have ASD......my child has a a severe ASD....we get discriminated all the time and get pissed off about it...we stand up and say no more...does that make us snowflakes? Try living being a target of some kind of discrimination and getting further bullied be being called "snowflake" by some ass who bullies....The funniest thing about your post is you make a comment bout saying what you want but the poor old snowflakes not alowed too

Dedicated 30yrs later to facebook

I still remember these lyrics from when I was a young kid.

Been eons since I heard this song holy shit. This song would not go over well with the “posse” thing, they would call it racist.

ziggy morris Is the song is a pretty obvious jab at censorship, so someone complaining about the words would only further the song’s sentiment.

So lovely

this song is really nice when you think about it, a song to protest the censorship of metal in america during late 80's by going against all of what its trying to censor. Impressive

Remember all that bullshit when the PMRC were against sexist and violent lyrics that were in music and wanted to put Parental Advisory stickers on them .But guess what ?they just made it easier for people to find the bad albums so to speak . Guess the joke was on them . Fuck Censorship.

I dedicate this song to the Church of Jesus......

Memories of Rockscene @ the Astoria in the 90's, lights up music. Teeth were lost, pile-ons were mountainous, drunk indie-kids who weren't aware enough to get out the way got confused n bruised...

Man, I miss them days \m/,

Love the use of the Bonanza theme!

Some women really deserve to hear this song cause they will play all kinds of games if you let them!!!!

I was playing ffxiv a few weeks back, and next thing you know, I was explaining how Tipper Gore was an evil harpie and how much the PMRC sucked in the days before most of the user base was born. I felt so old... =(

Spread the word, man... spread the word!!

A message to the fringes, both left and right.

Timeless....If only because the uptight Jesus Freaks this song was aimed at have been replaced by uptight SJW's and internet feminists! Fucking whores all of them!

hillbilly rock. awesome

First Amendment. Without it ... you don't get a 2 or 3 or 566666.... First is FIRST for a reason. All God bless Anthrax !!!!!!!!!

This just screams "kaoroke".

*whispers* ... do eet!

took me a while but I found a karaoke one, finally. google search will lead you to a shared G drive with it in there. happy hunting.

Funny... the disclaimer and political correctness itself are American institutions, though censorship and repression has been mankind's MO in authoritatianism and control since time immemorial. That being said - it used to primarily be the government, the church, the political right, and groups like the PMRC that one had to watch out for in their attempts to censor, repress, and control people, media, ideas, thought, feeling, ad nauseum, but now, in 2017, with the church and government apparently not repressing and controlling people's thoughts and feelings enough to people's tastes, or in their preferred manner, it is now the left and progressives who have taken up the crusade of censoring, repressing, and attempting to control people's thoughts and feelings, to put an iron boot back on mankind's neck. Be it 300 or 30 years ago, who would have guessed it would be America's own citizenry who would come to beg to be suprressed, repressed, and censored, in the most vile, disgusting and controlling manners? Now, I'm no idealist, but these people, they are anti-people, anti-humanity, and they are against every ideal America stands for, particularly the liberty of the individual to survive, to thrive, to make their own choices and be responsible for their own lives...

The sad part is Anthrax has sided with them now. Maybe they need to go back and listen to this song about 100 times and they might get it.

sex drugs rape shit

BlueNovaGaming shit, fuck, satan, death, sex, drugs, rape.
Watch the beat. 😉

a song about our feelings to the SJW censorship such as Anita Sarkeesian goal

Cobax it is directed at the Tipper Gore people.

Cobax fuck Anita she’s a bloating fat lipped whore

Mrs gore

Fuck yeah man

fuck Tipper Gore and her mentally crippled bitch Al.

fuccccckkkkkkkk yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss;)

Love it!  A taste of my past cassette days, and the Gore war.

Tipper Whore

I think enough time has passed that we can put this motherfucking shit to rest. The bitch Tipper Gore and the other "Washington wives" were totally fucking wrong. They didn't get the censorship they were advocating for and look at what has happened over the last 30 years-Have us fans brought up on Slayer, Venom, Sabbath etc. turned into a mindless criminal element like they suggested-NO, NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE. I'm sure there's a deviant somewhere, but the masses of us who grew up listening to this music got jobs, pay taxes so you bitches can sit on your fucking asses all day, didn't become at all what you said. Do I think you'll ever admit you fucked up horribly on your predictions, of course not, because it was more a political stunt than it was anything fucking else. You stupid bitches never understood that those of us dedicated to metal love motherfucking heavy metal so damn much that we got jobs to be able to buy what we loved. Ignorant stupid motherfuckers with no knowledge of the scene have long been the bane of heavy metal, no more so than in this instance. Piss off Tipper, you're a braindead fucking idiot.
 

@Stupid2669 No, this shit is not over. I was speaking to a specific group in a specific time period that we defeated (kicked their motherfucking ass). They said we'd all be child molesters, bank robbers, murderers, etc., and none of that, in 99% of us came true. From the time of the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and even before them there have been a segment of each society that wanted to totally and completely wipe out anything they didn't like. I doubt it will ever change, but when we (those of us that want music, literature, whatever to be freely available) gain a victory I say CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Ibleedwhiskey Planet1 Of course - and while this song was specific to that point in time, it's fucking amazing because it transcends all that, and it remains as true today as it ever was.  

In more enlightened societies, the book-burners and control/power freaks will inevitably lose, but we are far from an enlightened society, and we always run the risk of degeneration, especially with how these fear-inspiring twats insideously poison the minds of all that they can.  At present, Big Sister has it all by the ball-sack :D

grunge tried to kill the metal xD

Well, it like everything and everyone else fucking failed and will continue to do so.

What those assholes have done to feminism is infuriating. Equality doesn't mean stomping all over men. It was never supposed to be a fight against men, who have very important issues that could use some equality too. We love you, guys! You're awesome! Your creativity, ingenuity, strength, defense, love, and support is amazing! You are amazing! Please don't think all feminists hate you. These 3rd wave fucktards can go fuck themselves. They have fathers, brothers, and sons too, and they should probably treat them much better.

God it's sooooooooooo long since I've heard this!

Ah......back when we didn't have to worry about being visited by Government agents for criticism. 

I continue to not worry, you worry because you choose to, just like people back than did.

@Mikey G. I worry because I've witnessed first hand three people who did not worry and went quietly into the night. Haven't seen any of them in over 5 years. 

Jello Biafra's home was raided by the FBI not long before this song came out

Ice T got into trouble too.

Love this fucken shit

alright country music with thrash sound with nice lyric ...great mix

fucking yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

LOL love this.

Directed at Tipper Gore.

YouTube aren't censoring videos... where did you get that idea? VEVO upload some censored videos at the request of the record labels. YouTube has nothing to do with that.

i don't know im not into gay sex that much

sorry did I hit a weak spot?

Why do you have to point out that they are jewish then? There are non jewish zionists aswell. What do you know about zionism by the way? That it's a bad word?
Fuck off, enjoy the music and take off your tin foil hat, kid.

Scott Ian is jewish

they wouldn't

Im sure Anthrax would like your comment

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE FUCKING CUSSING AT THE CENSORING CUNTS IN ALL CAPS?!

you say are records are offensive.

This is to all the politicians wives like Susan Baker, And Tipper Gore. They think that being the SPOUSE OF an elected official, SOMEHOW means that the Public Is just dying to live whatever THEIR Idea of wonderful is! Some songs,I find offensive. SO WHAT!! Nobody's twisting my Arm, telling me I have to buy it, or listen to it! One side of the radio has A knob or A button that SHUTS THE FUCKER OFF!!! (duh)

thats all you are

shit fuck satan sex drugs rape? try n stop me ;)

Say's the guy who's user name makes him sounds like a 12 y/o who smokes yard grass.

Your parents raised you right.

You are truly an amazing young man.

Lol. Gotta love Scott Ian(:

I want anarchy

Good for you.

More PUSSY - More PUSSY ....

There are so many good "new" bands, juste listen to the great ones ;). But it's true, you don't need to be from the 80's to listen to these bands...

Toy Dolls Wipe-Out

i hate all the comments saying only people from the 80's can listen to these guys im 13 and fucking hate every new band in the world im all metallica .scorpions .anthrax megadeth .dokken .heart .def leppard. led zepplin ,pantera ,down,kiss , motley crue.. iv been to scorpions,dokken,kiss,motley crue, heart,and defl leppard conccerts and own all of the bands i named records not cds records haha i hate this decade even tho i live in it but the 80's and 90's sound cool....

You write like you’re 8 years old

If you look at what they fought offensive, and now there's fuckin' Cannibal Corpse! That wouldn't be possible back then! Haha!

so do I, and to make you feel older this song came out 22 years ago.

Jesus I feel old as hell to remember the shitstorm Tipper caused and Dee's testimony to Congress.

I have great memories of myself and my crowd in high school singing along with this every morning in the parking lot. (Parking lot was off campus, and school had no jurisdiction before first period started.)

This was a great "teenage rebellion" song for us.

Classik

Danny, I miss you.

If you want censorship Tipper, go the fuck to Iraq....they'd love to have you! Like you, they believe in free speech....if THEY approve of it!

Even though I would love nothing more than to forget that the censorship Tipper Gore promoted even exists...people should still be exposing her bullshit well into the future...thats part of history now, and if we don't remember it it'll fade into the shadows and another stupid fucking ignorant yuppie elitist suburb dwelling parent will step up and start persecuting musicians again....so basically what I'm getting at here is...FUCK YOU TIPPER GORE! Censorship is bullshit! and YOU are bullshit!

You know, the fourteen-year-old in me still loves this song.

You're a douche! You're a douche!

remember when i bought this album... almost put my car in the ditch i was laughing so hard

Tippers Gore

You know that this song isn't against VEVO or anything. The PMRC (A.K.A Tipper Gore) was pretty big back then. This song was dedicated to them.

And there it is!!!! Right or Wrong, it's OUR choice to make. as Some things that offend you , might not be offensive to me. You've got the right " Don't like it, Don't buy it!", but DON'T say "Your opinion's RIGHT!". I prefer to have MY OWN opinion (which I may have in common with others, or not.) rather than someone else's FORCED on me!

@63AIONSON u just did exactly wat the song is talking about you CENSORED the actual lyrics sorry brah u mad?

I love it!!! Definitely my favorite Anthrax song!! It's Graphic, very very very graphic..........but that's the point!!!

i dedicate this to my school, who are against freedom of speech.

@LordSmokeVideos No, those people have nothing to do with it.

It's just Google. Politicians wouldn't waste their time with your entertainment.

I agree with the sentiment here. However, free speech works both ways. If you decide to say something publicly, be prepared to be criticized publicly. I won't censor your right to speak but I reserve the right to criticize what you have said. Under the 1st amendment you can say what you like and I can respond whatever way I like. If you take my free speech away you have taken your own away. watch?v=ujysHmLlEP4

BONANZA!!!!

The Gore family doesn't like the song

@jonmarc1980 Same. Agreed.

FUCK CENSORSHIP!! FUCK SOPA FUCK PIPA!!

@ShiningXwolf Maybe it was the word "deficit" that made me think that.

BTW, cool song.

I'm thinking of singing this to my teacher.

@Biggie3057 i really think th4Guy77 has, he probably doesnt even know what hes doing

@Biggie3057 i think thats what th4Guy77

@TormentedBrutality ADD: Attention Deficit Disorder
