@Matthew Ackerman I have no doubt it's the v4cc1ne. There's been too many "sudden deaths" in recent times to ignore. Bob Saget, the media says, died from head injuries after a fall. But what caused the fall?
I’ve been a fan for decades… I saw them in Champaign with my son and daughter… I’m 66 years old now, and I have hearing aids, and I’m sure they contributed to it!! LOL!!❤️
One of many fond memories: Bryan came to me at work one day and asked if I could add some rivets to one of his cymbals for a "sizzle" experiment. I was not aware that this was even a "thing" ...but after he explained what he wanted to achieve I wasn't about to say no (I was a huge fan and HUM was about to go on TV). We were both pretty nervous about me potentially "trashing" the cymbal ...but after successfully drilling out some clean and evenly spaced holes we were able to relax. I came up with my own stylish technique of securing the rivets and Bryan was stoked! It was a high-five moment. Love you man!
Yes, I'd say so (and it was awesome!) We spent plenty of time at work together and never had a problem with the other. Bryan was by far the coolest and most "chill" guy I have ever worked with and equally a smart/clever and quick learner. I went to a number of his shows before and after getting big. After a great show (HUM at Mabel's in our home town) he came directly off stage and met my latest girlfriend (Cathy had very long hair btw :) All three of us were grinning from ear to ear ...for multiple reasons. Bryan of course was covered in sweat which made his taped-up but still bleeding hands that much messier looking ...still smiling he said something like like: "Eh, comes with the job!". @@robotdudeguy
I've been playing music for just over 20 years, when I talk with non musicians and try to explain feeling the music, this is one of the top 3 songs I refer back to
That left foot on the hihat pedal is so effective and subtle but important in almost all of his beats. He’s hard to copy always being in his own perfect pocket. God he’s so amazing.
True story: I almost broke both of Bryan's legs at work in 1995 when the brakes went out on a customer's car. I threw the car into park when the brake pedal went to the floor and Bryan jumped onto the hood. The front bumper was only inches from the wall where he was hanging up keys for one of his car audio installs. Whew!
RIP Mr. St. Pere. My first exposure to the greatest band of the 1990's was this performance on 120 Minutes. Seeing this very performance, I thought to myself, "These guys get what rock is about." Downward is Heavenward had some songs I don't care for, but Inlet is like comfort food, and its release was a bright spot in the last few years.
late to this comment, but I agree 100%. theres something about his seemingly random hi hat hits he does mid fills, while keeping his playing so tight. cheers
I know I'm 3 years late here. Inlet was the best record of 2020 and imo the best comeback album ever. 3 years later its still on my regular rotation. Incredible album.
And they ripped off the I'd prefer an astronaut album cover. Some moron deaftones fans got pissy at me for saying so, but anyone with two brain cells and two eyes can see it.
It's so impressive that amidst all the noisy guitar tone you can pick out the beautiful lush notes of their intricate chords. That might be my favorite thing about Hum. I was a freshman in high school when this dropped, it was... SO welcomed and definitely changed the way I thought about music. Still sounds amazing all these years later.
this song just hurts me so much i used to smoke drugs with my ex-wife when she was my girlfriend, listen to this album and cuddle on her big-butt we were together for 18 years i did a bunch of acid a couple months ago and listened to this album, torturing myself into a weeping, screaming pile of bullshit goddamn what a ride
wow this was recorded on my birthday (July 30th), 7 years before I was born. and here I am today, with Hum being my favorite band at the moment. the testament of time.
I've been known to take care of my possessions, whenever possible ;)Happy to know you liked the sound & vision captured on the tape, and for posting a note here.
Much thanks to OP, really appreciate you posting this. There was a really muddied-up version of this performance posted years ago in which to audio seemed to be off quite a bit- glad you have posted this version, which is waaaay better. But what I wouldn't give for a cleaned up, board mix of this song that I could blare and repeat endlessly and keep my neighbors awake with for hours on end late at night. Thanks again- great song, heavy, heavy rocking band, then and now. Love these guys.
My pleasure! Glad you found the clip, and took the time to write a note of appreciation. One of the best surprises to come along, back when 120 Minutes used to air these unique live clips, for me. Practically jumps out of the computer when listening on good 'phones ;) Thanks again for the nod of appreciation!
Thank you for posting this!!! This is my favorite track from Hum! It used to bum me out that the only version of this on RU-vid was a warped VHS copy of it. I'm very happy that you uploaded this!!!
i love this song SO MUCH so heavy and then the middle part sounds so thoughtful and pretty such an amazing riff its just so good i love the middle part the quiet stuff like insanely
