Kung Fu's The Show Must Go Off! live concert DVD series continues with Episode 11, featuring Southern California's own, Goldfinger. Watching this made me wax nostalgic with fellow editor Adam about how, long ago, we both loved Goldfinger. People who liked this also liked:           Please login or register to post comments.

On one hand, many animals hunt for their food. On the other hand, that is the balence of nature, and their prey doesnt spend its life tortured in a factory. And yes, we do have predominantly carnivorous teeth, but we also have predominantly herbivorous digestive systems. It is my theory that humans evolved with the ability to eat both meat and plants as a last resort in case one becomes scarce. "No, I KNOW the taste & convienience outweigh the lives of the animals!" what the fuck? goldfinger sucks "If you choose to eat meat at this point in time, you are doing so because you think that the taste and convienience of meat eating outweighs the lives of the animals who suffer for your pleasure." Bojangles is good. In Richmond, I eat at Lee's Famous Recipe. Rumor has it, the colonel stole his recipe from Lee, no shit. Two more songs they should play live are "Margaret Ann" and "Forgiveness". hey do they have horns on songs like superman? wow, no anything or this lonely place? those are 2 classics, although i despise these guys now after the events of the past few years (charlie leaving, feldman producing shitty bands, gf releasing their weakest cd, the vegan rampage and insults, and feldmans asshole attitude towards his target audience, he had some really ignorant quote in the latest AP about how the people who talk shit on goldfinger or the used/story of the year are 'probably 'gay, fat and 15'. I bought this for nostalgia's sake. It's pretty good, and the bonus footage has some great Darren stuff (and I agree with a previous poster, he's one of the most underrated drummers around). But this band has a lot of songs that kick ass which were missing. Here's my top GF songs that didn't end up on the DVD and the way-too-short set: cows would eat us in a heartbeat if they werent so fucking dumb "this proves you have no real arguement so you go to extremes" "you vegans need to chill out. the preaching is getting way old and your lateral thinking on the slaveowner/meateater issue is asinine. this proves you have no real arguement so you go to extremes, next we're all nazis too i bet. have fun stifling your homoerotic thoughts while watching your ufc crap jockboy. p.s. i know hitler was a vegetarian, don't bother pointing it out." you vegans need to chill out. the preaching is getting way old and your lateral thinking on the slaveowner/meateater issue is asinine. this proves you have no real arguement so you go to extremes, next we're all nazis too i bet. have fun stifling your homoerotic thoughts while watching your ufc crap jockboy. p.s. i know hitler was a vegetarian, don't bother pointing it out. C'mon, KFC doesn't have shit on Bojangles. I think that place is the only good thing about living in North Carolina. QUOTE: I avoid talking shit these days because you never know if the little guy your knocking knows his shit. whoah Sickboi eats at KFC? I thought you were better than that. Chicken Carver Combo at Boston Market for me. whatever dude, you are creeping me out "Where do you train in mma? How's your ground game? You're quick to pick a fight with someone that you don't know." "Several herbevore (sp?) primate species have these my friend. " "So, wait - I'm a slaveholder if I eat meat?" So, wait - I'm a slaveholder if I eat meat? Famous Dave's BBQ is good too.... "herbavors don't have those" yea not being vegan is like being a slavowner. fucking idiot. "2.the vegan thing is really condecending, I mean go ahead and be vegan but don't yell at me for not being one" My argument is that those 11 herbs and spices taste a million times better than rabbit food. And if you want to argue the ridiculous "well, being vegan isn't natural" point then what's so fuckin' natural about eating genetically altered chicken that was pumped full of growth hormones from KFC or factory produced meat from McDonalds?! "Should bears, sharks, lions and tigers be vegan too?" -PETA are assholes. Ever heard of the food chain? Should bears, sharks, lions and tigers be vegan too? You fucking idiots. 1.open your eyes is so half assed and highligts why feldman should stick with producing the next big thing... I love this band. Always have. Always will. I've been vegan myself for years so their new militant Peta stance is actually refreshing to me. I can't wait to get a hold of this DVD. ahh the days of goldfinger. i couldnt have related to this review better. everybody should have the self titled album by these guys. Darren from Goldfinger is one of the best drummers in ROCK! Sigh....look how far they've fallen... no but feldman should go on the atkins diet. Are these dudes collecting social security checks yet? i don't think cover art on a cd/dvd can get any worse that what you are looking at on the cover of that dvd. kung fu looks like they are using ms paint to make thier designs. feldman. ugh. The words "Goldfinger" and "scarily militant" don't belong in the same sentence. "Now on a completely unrelated note, for whatever reason I have just received a letter from the Sevendust mailing list. Yuck." With each review from this DVD series, I cannot help but just wonder how incredible the Alkaline Trio disc could have been, as the lack of interesting features, questionable camera-work, and poor show selection really soured what could have been a great gift for any Trio fan. Feldmann didn't record Simple Plan. Arnold Lanni did. Feldmann's had a hand in recordings by Mest, Showoff, The Used, and Story Of The Year. That's it. "horrible band, I liked goldfinger back in 1996 too. I was crazy disregard the 5 stars I accidently gave this dvd, Goldfinger is horrible horrible band, i've seen goldfinger a hand full of times and they've never played longer than 45-60 minutes Holy shit!! He did Story of The Year!?! This man's reign of terror must come to an end! Goldfinger is the definition of "nose dive". Simon leaving the band was paralysing, Charlie's departure just put the sick dog to sleep... I love Goldfinger, as long as I listen to the first 2 albums, and even Darrin' Coconut Ass. Stomping Ground had it's moments, but the new disc just plain sucks. But they put on a great show. I suppose that you have to go vegan and be all about a cause when you realize that you're a "punk" band on the same label as Britney Spears. What Scott left out of his original "wax nostalgic" tale is that now my opinion of Goldfinger had soured quite a bit. What an amazing career move was it to go from being a fun pop-ska band with memorable tunes to the bitchy, generic PETA house band. How we got from "Mable" and "Superman" to "Open Your Eyes" I'll never know. My only complaint about this DVD release is that it features Goldfinger, a band that blows more goat schlong than any other in the history of the fucking world. 1. goldfinger gets my utmost respect for taking a flying leap off the ska bandwagon once ska went dead. Of the four kung fu dvd's I've seen this is the worst and I thought it would be the best. The new Vandals one is my favorite since it was so long and they played a great set. I highly suggest the new Vandals dvd, the josh freese cam is badass |
