South African star Jordy Smith declares war!
Did you love Jordy Smith’s new movie Just Now? Oh and you should! It is a feast for the eyes feat. Namibia, South Africa, Jordy’s banging car + prog surfing. It is a feast for the ears feat. Motley Crew’s Girls, Girls, Girls + Guns n’ Roses’ Knockin on Heaven’s Door + Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song + Nirvana’s Nothing Els Matters.
Wait just a second.
Who in hell is Motley Crew? A new cover band? A South African only act like The Sugarman? You don’t think Jordy means Mötley Crüe do you? He couldn’t possibly. It would be the rudest thing a man could do, spelling their carefully constructed name “Motley Crew.”
And Nirvana’s Nothing Els Matters? Nirvana’s? Hmmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think the band Metallica once covered the Nirvana banger Smells Like Teen Spirit but…….. I don’t think Nirvana ever smashed out Nothing Els Matters. Or Nothing Else Matters either. And they DEFINITELY didn’t smash out the version Jordy used in his film CLEARLY starring James Hetfield’s soaring vibrato.
And this one is far worse than bastardizing Mötley Crüe. This one is basically unforgivable to my entire generation (X). I saw Nirvana play in a high school gym in Salem, Oregon and it changed my life. The football kids listened to Metallica. Future surf journalists and homeless people listened to Nirvana.
I’m going to mosh into Jordy next time I see him. I am going to mosh into him real good.

Haters gonna hate… But Jordy’z gotta SKATE! (Motley Crew style)
the young liberal saffas like jordy and travis logie praise Mandela. they have no idea what they are talking about and are brainwashed by the same anti-white politicians we have in america. take a look at south africa now. complete 3rd world shithole. it was better during apartheid.
maybe their best. criminally underrated.
How come nobody mentioned Ozzy Osborn? It’s OSBOURNE!
I smell some ‘offshoring’ when it comes to the Credits…
Jordie Smythe and his dipshits spelled Ozzy Osborn wrong too. It’s Ozzy Osbourne. Fucking blasphemy.
Jordy doesn’t fucking care. He got the setlist off of some generic classic rock station and and had some novice throw it all together in a few hours. And Nirvana? Besides not fitting the flow of the soundtrack, are the most over rated band ever. They killed the 90’s by playing slowed down punk turned ez-lite wave along with Green Day and Offspring.
Nirvana most overrated band ever… ruined the 90s..??. yep you sound like the type of person who should never ever comment or voice an opinion on anything to do with music ever again. And putting Nirvana in the same sentence as greenday and offspring is just really showing your fuckin musical ignorance haha
Are you telling me I can’t comment on Nirvana, the king of grunge? How’s that movement working out for you?
fuk-tard
You saw Nirvana….? Fuck you man. Fuck you. Damn. Fuck.
i like the diet ad

Its not like he dropped a Jimi Hendrix track to build his brand as some street walking South African Ho.
Ozzy is probably the only one who doesn’t give two fucks that his name was misspelled.
Making fun of someone’s learning disability, a new low Chas.
I figured (probably wrongly) that he stuck those tracks into the edit to lend some street credit to his new punk rock bar in SA. Nice try Einstein! When is his suave Jazz edit coming out to compliment his cocktail bar?
He should have used “Sweet Home Alabama” by Aerosmith for that first segment.
You need go back to southern rock school. Aerosmith and “Sweet Home Alabama” are incongruent.
Booo
But the Aerosmith version is laden with irony. You know, with them being a Yankee band and the original being somewhat redneckier.
On the other hand, when you have to explain irony the point may be lost, in this situation.
Before their was “Beach Grit” we had a”Grit”. In my neck of the woods Grit’s wore desert boots, denim jeans, black t shirts, flannel shirts, and denim jacket’s. Grits had long hair; no pony tails. Their backs were billboards for bands like Molly Hatchet, Ozzy Osborne, and Lynyrd Skynyrd…The band’s patch would be stitched to the back of jacket. Band names/logos/patches/pins were pretty much a requirement. Unalike “Punk Rock” grit’s didn’t have angst destroying property, violent dancing, and/or “Circle Jerks” etc. Well, I was indoctrinated to Neil Young, Janis Joplin, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, (Yes, same young mentioned previously) and The Band. (hippie parents dad 19 mom 17 when they birthed yours truly.) My grandmother’s sister’s grandson and I went to same school. He was a Grit and loner. Insane at drawing but had the family freaked out about his Satanic art work. He’d draw on any open surface his desk, inside cover of school books, note books etc. “God knows where!” that guy is? I dream he is at the top of some start up in Silicon Valley, or on board at Apple pulling down serious funds with a life to go with it. Still can see him crossing Bay Island bridge walking, smoking a cigarette, owning; as I yell “Grit” out the car window.
As long as Jordy doesn’t kill anyone in a drunk driving accident we should be good.
maybe he meant, who the hell is mitch crews?
Jordy is the Ron Jeremy of Namibia- ugly fucker in centre screen barely sticking it in our favourite hole when all we want is POV.
Ok that comment may be the GOAT!! But seriously is it just me or does jordys surfing seem really tired and repetitive and shiiit lately?? Isnt he supposed to be 2nd in the world? He’s fuckin so far behind johns level its not even funny.
Part of me wants to think that the “Nirvana – Nothing Els Matters” screw up is an ingenious licensing/IP loophole. “Oh, sorry Elektra, we didn’t know that was a Metallica song, thought it was Nirvana. Whoops.” …but then I contemplate the surf industry and the music direction in 99% of contemporary surf clips, and realize it is what it is; dumb. I think the surf industry’s dumb (repeated in Cobain voice).
maybe he just loves South African golf legend Ernie Els?
Possibly haha, Jordy is right at that point in his career where pro surfers start getting into golf. Golf absolutely ruined the momentum generation. I played golf once when I was 16, promised myself I wouldn’t play it again until I was 60.
golf is a lot easier when you’re 16 than when you’re 60
So is getting barreled. The whole time I was on the golf course I was thinking to myself, “I’d rather be surfing right now.”
ha, i bet.
There can only be one “The Big Easy”.

This may be the best shirt I have ever seen
Smells Like Teen Spirit came out when I was in 8th grade. Probably says everything you’d ever need to know about me as a person that U2’s Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree were far, far more important to me those years.
Oh ancient one! The changes you must have seen in your lifetime…
