Garbage's music is just as kickass today as it was 10 years ago. They haven't lost their touch, thankfully. Shirley Manson certainly hasn't lost any energy or beauty. All in all, this was a great performance, and the inclusion of the blow up doll was a nice bit of spontaneity from the lovely Ms. Manson. Oh...and "CuteUnit" obviously hasn't been to a Grabage show recently.
I love it when Shirley runs down close to the crowd. Fans just eat that up. That's why I always try to be in the front row of every concert I go to.Loved the bit with the sex doll.That's pure Shirley. Super Fucking cool!
I saw them in concert in Canberra in the mid 90's with Alanis, it was fantastic, especially to see both for the price of one ticket. Garbage are an exceptional band, the combination really works well.
Oh Shirley, why do we love you? Such an easy question :-D Rock, anger, temper, intelligence, musicality... and on top of that you're gorgeous... Yeah, why do we love you... :-D
Lets see why do I love Shirley. I love rock and roll, am always attracted to Scottish girls, red hair always gets my attention, and Shirley has great legs, and is a smoking exciting package!
I'm no Barbie doll I'm not your baby girl I've done ugly things And I have made mistakes [Pre-Chorus 1] And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word? Nothing ever smells of roses that rises out of mud [Chorus] Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? [Verse 2] You're not some little boy Why you acting so surprised? You're sick of all the rules Well, I'm sick of all your lies [Pre-Chorus 2] Now I've held back a wealth of shit, I think I'm gonna choke I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good? Nothing ever came from nothing, man Oh man, ain't that the truth [Chorus] Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? [Post-Chorus] I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it, I do it again [Bridge] I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine I have no proof but I think that I'm right And you've still got the most beautiful face It just makes me sad most of the time [Breakdown] I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it again I get back up and I do it I do it again Do it again Do it again Do it again [Chorus] Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy Why do you love me? Why do you love me? Why do you love me? It's driving me crazy [Outro] Why do you love me? Why do you love me?
Attitude+temperament+wit+sence of humor+extreme hotness=Shirley Manson I think Eric Avery (basist) misses the beat when she comes back on stage with that doll. About 2:18 he and Butch Vig (drummer) exchange glances like: Eric:Sorry, my bad. Butch:Quite understandable. It happens. :):)
Seeing as the guys are all well into their 40s and Shirley will be 40 next year, it's not surprising that there's a bunch of 40 year old guys in the audience. I go to see the band because I like the music. I liked them before I saw a photo of them. That being said, I don't have a problem with Shirley running around in a short skirt or having a bunch of sweaty 19 year old girls rub up against me while I'm enjoying the music. As they say in the corporate world, "That's a value add."
