CRO-MAGS - WE GOTTA KNOW

The Cro-Mags were one of the best NYHC bands of all time. I remember staying up as late as I could to catch this on Headbangers Ball back in the day. The intro is the epitome of hardcore, and the video is one of the best! It's a shame these guys couldn't work out their differences.
