No matter how cool we are as young guys and girls, we all turn into our dads and moms.

he's the man

I'm almost positive I've seen Murph around Boston a few times but I wasn't sure cus it just could've been someone's dad or a lost accountant

Music is Not about what you look like.

Rock drummers tend to have that aura. Steve Flynn from Atheist is sorta like that too.

Henry really respects Dinosaur Jr., it's fun to see him get a little flustered by the fact.

AboveNine rollins ruins everything -- less talking more rocking, it's always gotta be about him...

AboveNine Everyone around SST in the mid-80’s were enamored by Dinosaur Jr. Even though Black Flag ended right before Dino made YLAOM, Henry was still on the scene. I’ve seen/heard quotes from various people who were involved with SST at the time who all said that Dino was blowing everyone’s minds at the time, especially since a lot of the SSTA people had become big time stoners so they loved their heavy, noisy, psychedelic aesthetic combined with great hooks. That’s why I love Dino Jr- I’ve always been drawn to the great bands who in some way combined catchy hooks with noise and dissonance. SSTA had some of the greatest bands ever who had that as a big part of their aesthetic, i.e. Huskers, Meat Puppets, Dino Jr, etc.

Henry rollins sucks and should've stayed home that day.

You should listen to his podcast (also available on RU-vid); he laughs all the time.

J's pretty well known for his guitar skills. Also, Kurt Coban was a huge fan. They're all great musicians.

@@firstylasty9417 Fun fact - J was Kurt's first choice for a drummer when they went to a major label. J turned him down as he had just gotten his own major label deal.

@@brandall101 Ohhh yeah. I think I knew that waaay back in my brain somewhere, upon my voracious Nirvana readings back in the day. J's so surly, tho. That would've made for a strange band. Wonder what Chad Channing's up to these days.

I didn't get into them until my 30s, but they were the band I'd been looking for since I was 15.

They aren’t this good.. they’re usually even better. This was a decent performance for them but not anything great.

+Billie Lee Ñan hahahaha so true

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nathan Clark joke [johk] noun something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act

LOL... I was thinking Jerry Garcia

Thank you. I got a great laugh out of that

They are phenomenal live!

"And they did the best cover ever of a song from The Cure..." I totally agree, but Carpathian Forest's cover of A Forest is a close contender.

I also like their cover of Peter Frampton's "Show me the way"

Dan Workname Yes, good cover as well...Jay Mascis is a guy who has some good musical taste for sure...

I'm not trying to compete here, but I wanted to share this Lullaby's cover because is from a band from Argentina, so you guys probably didn't got the chance to listen to it, and its amazing: /watch?v=bvGnOwGdr7A

Joy Zipper did the best Cure cover, Just Like Heaven..

that's pretty much generation x in a nutshell

@@mikogale the Best time..

mood

@Casey Draven Contributing valuable info and relevant conversation.

@@firstylasty9417 it’s literally just spam

Who's John Mascis?

@@thehowlingjoker Jay Mascis sorry 😯

@@thehowlingjoker I corrected...

@@merdez99 Just J is fine. Easier to type too.

+Jeff Elliott Hey, if you couldn't tell a bass from a guitar, and you knew an insane solo was coming from someone, would you suspect the man that hasn't aged a day in 30 years and is jumping around like a maniac, or the weird old statue that somehow learned to sing? Then again, said camera person had trouble finding J when it came to the interview section, so maybe they just didn't like his face or something.

+Jeff Elliott Notice how there are multiple camera angles. It was cut this way to show that golden "value add" with Henry Rollins. This is killer.

+Marty062006 That was the greatest comment I've ever read. Holy shit.

+Jeff Elliott The camera was just following its own cavalier path, no regard for the important aspects of the performance. There is no explaining such things. You can't really compare Bach to Rachmaninoff. Yes, they are both composers in the classical tradition. But Bach's music is unmistakable, even indelible; while Rachmaninoff skips around like a schizophrenic, all spontaneity, no recognizable, reusable theme. My point is that the camera person is probably a sheep following what he thought was some extended theme of the chaos of the early 90s. In trying to break new ground he just became super stupid. J Mascis rocks. You can only go so far with chaos and then it just becomes pitiful. Mascis took music of the time and put it out on the frontier, the maximum it could travel and still be relevant. The camera person was aping that instinct and came up an ape, over-extended, clumsy. Talentless-Rachmaninoff took his lens and f***ed up.

guitar solo! I thought that bit was where a knob fell off one of the effects pedals? This band IS the sequel to Spinal Tap...

both are sober though

Oreius their best albums were in the 80s

@@alien9422 all their albums are great, but I got into them in the 90s. 80s stuff is amazing

Maddbox11235 yeah man he crushes it.

he is the best!

As far as pure mastery of an instrument goes, he’s the best musician in the band. And honestly, a band is only as good as it’s drummer. Example: Pumpkins without Jimmy Chamberlain is a hollow, lifeless sounding husk of itself.

​@@CMHobbies J writes all of the drum parts though...

@@CMHobbies Nope. J writes and performs the drums and tells Murph what to do, and fills in for Murph on records

Kurt wanted him to join Nirvana. Kurt definitely was open about his influences.

Nirvana did not create grunge.

what about : love at first penis dude!! LOL

scott tudhope that's called being high

Djr is straight edge. That said, their music pairs pretty well with a bowl

He's heavy into meditation. Just zen'd out all the time.

@@bridgetwatts3680 Dinosaur Jr is not straight edge, only J is.

He's super introvert too

Henry was in Black Flag. I don't think he was nervous.

@@profd65 He's a pompous dick. Esp. IRL...

henry got this kind of face like he is the tough guy... and he is the fu%)ing man.... but to be honest when he is around his idols... he used to be nervous... check the stand up about iggy and ozzy...so.......

Fuck tinnitus!! Mine is recently gotten worse. But yeah started at pixies and dinosaur Junior shows in the late 80s.

@@blueconversechucks literally the loudest band I've ever seen. Don't think J can relate though--his monitor is just a twin reverb pointed at his face

Y’all need earplugs in your life.

@@dewdop ab-so-fucking-lutely not. It's like scars from long ago battles.

@@GRedit1000 ok but i appreciate my hearing

who ever rated them "under"? I mean WHO? NO ONE!
