Saw them right after 2.0 came out. One of the top three live bands I have ever seen... SOOOO good. With all the effects and nuances they have going on, its amazing.
I am rediscovering them again. I liked them over 10 years ago but I realize now that they are better than I thought. The singing and the musicianship is just as good live as it is in the studio. And is it just me or is Shirley extremely hot!!
I think the line is: I fall down just to give you a thrill prop me up with another pill if i should fail, if i should fold i nail my faith to the stick and pole Shirley has said that it's about the crassness of the music industry; Butch noted that the pill ref. came from a prod. who suggested during one of Shirl's tantrums that she take a pill to calm down & in the video Shirl raises her arms up a la Christ at the 'stick and pole' line - sacrificing herself for her marketable image...
Shirley look soo hot and her voice is perfect even in live not like some other singers... i really adore her style.. i would wish to have some of her's.. :)))
lol when she sings her accent just melts away O_o her voice sounds kick ass with that feed back rofl goodlooks+good voice= guys will justmelt for her :D
I saw them this tour and I think she was wearing the same outfit. So, so hot, and they put on an awesome show. Great stage manner too - Shriley and the band were totally down to earth. Hope i get the chance to see them again.
Dang....I guess I'm not the "massive metalhead xtreme being" thought I was. sniffle...sniffle... At least thats what they tell me on a certain metal music forum I occasionally attend. But I dont fukin care what anyone says this song is so damn awesome. The 1st time I heard it was about 3yrs ago on the radio when I was driving up state. Man when that chorus came in I was floored and in love with it. I never got to hear who it was or the name of it so I hummed the melody in my voicemail and.....
I watched a couple of this band's live videos and she sounds awesome in all of them seriously very very and I mean VERY few people can pull off live singing and she has the perfect voice for it. Sound's better than the albums o.O
The guy on the guitar makes a mistake at 1:16 and Shirley looks at him lol it was so obvious and funny... I'd love her to look at me like that! LOVE YOU SHIRLEY!!
I am glad somebody said something about it. The close quarters live audience is kind of uncanny. About 10 people within reaching distance of Shirley and not a bouncer, security detail or boundary in any way shape or form is anywhere in sight is a bit unrealistic. It was an enjoyable performance but the entire time I was wondering... aren't those people standing 2 feet away from her a bit too close???
Shirley Manson is really HOT!!! Especially with her natural red hair. I can't believe she got teased so badly when she was a young girl that it sank her into depression as we know it. Those bullies were idiots.
I was just about to comment the same thing. She sounds the same and maybe even a little better live. Unlike most artists which sound great in the recording but suck live
God, I love Shirley, but I must say that I really prefer her carriage, body movement/style, from the 1996 tour. She seems kind of checked-out here. Interesting ending, though.. I like it. Love the entire band, actually.
