Today, 2/22/2022 Mark Lanegan died. Hearing his howl with the Screaming Trees made me want to drive fast and forget, and hearing his solo gravel croon made me want to drink slow and reflect. A powerful voice.
Hope your still around 👍 😁 12 years later and having just discovered SC I have to agree I’m binge watching everything they have and he is just awesome…
I keep looking shit like this up while reading the book and keep being genuinely blown away by his performance despite being on the verge of death. Being able to channel unenviable pain like that is an enviable skill
I haven't seen this since 1996. Fuck me, Mark looked desperately unwell, I'm amazing he still put in such an exceptional performance, as did the rest of the band. Screaming Trees were criminally underrated.
I spent 3 month solid listening to Dust whilst writing up my PhD. This album has some serious emotional resonance for me. Great, great album, that moves track by track through your capillaries until it all part of you.
thanks for the comment. maybe I'll see if I can order that on Amazon so I can listen to it loud as I have lots of time on my hands since I told my boss's little demon spvr. what I really think of him! I was big on their first 3 releases but don't know this one. Think I checked it out at the library once and just thought it was bland but might like it now. Screaming Trees is definitely a band to listen to when your doing something else that so you can be introverted and access that meditative state where spontaneous happens and you get work done without having to suffer at doing something you initially don't want to get done....like cleaning up the apartment or writing a paper towards your degree!
My buddy Doug was the music reviewer for the local newspaper where we worked. He saw these guys in 1993, and I'll never forget his review. It went something like this: Keith Richard once said when told that the Rolling Stones were the greatest band in the world, "On any given night, ANY band can be the greatest band int he world." Last night, Screaming Trees were the greatest band in the world.
Yeah it’s wild reading that book, I’m YouTubing the performances to see, he looks better here than I thought he would. The 12 hours proceeding this show are BRUTAL.
Just finished that book. How the hell he's still alive beats me. I thought Slashes book took you to the the edge with his drug experiences but Marks is much darker. Sad it only covers his time in the band up to him being 32. Would've liked it to have brought us up to the present day.
"With one foot in the grave." Mark looks half dead in this. So glad he is still around making great music. Phantom Radio is a killer album. The trees rocked and his solo work continues to push boundaries. Mark deserves much more acclaim than he has received during his long career.
@@yopglomusic8872 yes,he likes it how it is,he is very well recognized and don't looking for a stardom.I think that Screaming Trees were more underrated in their time and that was very frustrating for such great band.Three last albums on major label but I doubt there was any money for them, they are lucky if they were not left in debt.Major labels are evil if you are not goose with golden eggs
Last lone howling wolf alive,how many good brave friends he bury already ; Kurt,Layne,Alain,Mike Starr ,Mia Zapata and unlikely many more hes still on keep of rock music.Screaming Trees total legends i miss them emotionally
Wow Mark sounds exactly the same live as on the studio versions. I was privelaged to see him a couple of years ago touring for the "Bubblegum" album and they did Gospel Plow - it was astonishing!
There's a live video on RU-vid of this song with a string section and an amazing guitar player and it's a wicked rendition of this awesome song, we miss you Mark ‼️.
Funny to see Josh Homme playing rhythm guitar not in one of his own bands. Always forget he was a touring musician with them towards the end of the Trees existence.
i saw them in the same month playing in the reading alleycat... i was just a kid, but i was a bit worried about Mark who didn't lift his head up once during the whole set... and i had no idea what heroin addiction or getting dopesick was about. just reading his book now, and you can see laid bare the absolute nightmare he was going though, i'm glad he's still around today, against the odds
Trees are pretty much the BEST of their genre, IMO. But so totally underground and underrated (kinda cool but they deserve more and so does the public). Maybe they didn't pay enough payola to get heard more widely.
What a great piece of footage. Lanegan definitely looked unwell, and Homme was looking like a high school jock completely out of place on stage. Very strange how he came to be a part of that band at the end of the line. The funny thing is I was a huge Trees fan at the time, and I had no idea who he was. A few years after having stopped listening and playing music due to the death of Jeff Buckley and my lack of caring about music for a while- I heard Songs for the Deaf and it brought back my desire to play again. I had no idea that Lanegan was a part of the band at the time.
His vocal performance is awesome considering the previous 12 hours. And he still had more years to go with drugs. Lots of close calls up to this point.
so great. I love that and the guitar play is so awesome and by the way with Josh Homme. one of the greatest Bands in the 90ties. Too sad, that Mark still has to fight against his demons :-( What a great voice Thanks for posting
What a voice. He is one of the greatest voices of grunge together with Layne, Cornell, Vedder and Weiland... 💪 You can also add Cobain if you would ;)...
personally i think screaming trees shouldve been way more well known back then and now. hell they are ten times better than pearl jam and many other bands around the 90s. Mark Lanegan is a genius if you believe it or not...
Great song! I lived in the same building with Lanegan those days and, let me tell you, things were not looking good. Was so relieved when he left Seattle in search of a healthier life style, cause the way he was carrying on was deadly. Went to the Seattle club show of the Dust tour and he was barely able to carry through... He looks so much better now - I guess whisky beats smack as an addiction...
solid band ! waw, the dedication is inspiring ! funny to hear Josh's guitar being buried behind the wall of sound .. when he's somewhat of a wall of sound himself now .. and surely, Gary's licks are goddamn tasssssty
Lasciatemi galleggiare su questa musica. ogniqualvolta sento parlare, il rock non morirà mai perché ci sono i Måneskin.....cerco subito l'antidoto all'ennesima cazzata, risciacquandomi le orecchie con la musica che mi ha accompagnato durante la mia vita.
Anyone who needs a demonstration of the ageing effects of Heroin need only see how young Josh Homme looks compared to Lanegan in this. Hard to believe Mark was only 32 here. Amazing he made it as long as he did considering how close he came to the brink in the 90s. So, so sad he's gone. RIP Mark, they broke the mold with you xxx
