I really loved the era with Ronald Jones on guitar. He added an edge that was lost and really made a difference in the band's success and visibility in my opinion.
Ahhh the Xmas lights everywhere 😍 Saw them in a tiny club in '94 or '95 in Deep Ellum in Dallas with Xmas lights everywhere and on everyone with a bubble machine filling the room. It was blissful. Damn those were some good times...
@@randydillonart It was Trees. There was a skinny kid (probably on PCP) that took on 3 300 pound bouncers outside the venue before the concert began. God I miss the 90's!!!
@@randydillonart There is still nothing like a Flaming Lips show. I was at OU starting in late 1995, and I missed the Dallas and OKC shows, which were the last 'Lips playing actual instruments' shows until 1999 or 2000. I kick myself daily for missing the opportunity to see them with Ronald Jones.
Saw them in Portland in 97ish and they had about 10,000 Xmas lights hardwired to a guitar pedal. No lights were on, then ALL of the lights were ON. Amazing moment...
I've been listening to Flaming lips for almost 30 years and i never get tired of cd.You guys made ours life's better.Long life to the 🔥👄.Greetings from Puerto Rico
jerry murphy, they need to get back to learning how to play and write melodies. Now, all they play is noise. Maybe they are just burnt out. It happens to all the best groups. They just don't seem to have any real inspiration left after Yoshimi.
Jason Meadows Go ahead and listen to At War With the Mystics Again, and if you still want more beautiful melodies, fantastic songwriting, and innovative production, listen to The King’s Mouth. Both came after Yoshimi and both are Top 5 Flaming Lips records
Same here! Varsity arena in Toronto. Broke my hand during the opening band Failure and still stayed and tripped well 😁😁 Fan ever since! Sooo long ago eh!?! Great job on the Tool as well sir!!!
@@ericgrimey4792 Too funny! I saw the same tour in Cleveland. It was during a weird era when concert promoters thought it would be good to introduce different music styles to various genres. I was a fan of (still am) the Lips and Tool. But it was interesting to watch the Tool fans (total metal fans) try to boo the Lips off the stage with bubbles in the air when they opened. But, yeah. A long time ago indeed.
I am always returning, I don’t have a television, can’t really be bothered with the radio unless it’s a show I wanna listen to. This is it for me so many thanks! X
The Lips deserved to get the worldwide acclaim and success in the mid 90's after 'Transmissions' and 'Clouds Taste Metallic', but it didn't come for another 5 years
I didn't figure out the Lips for far too long...Not sure how I fucked that up and there are some regrets. But having that light go on was an epic experience and one I will never forget. Much love.
I recently watched the film titled, "Promotion" from 2008 and I heard this song at the end of the movie. I recognized the vocals right away. Very cool song and video to boot!
I've not heard this before. I didn't discover the lips until the soft bulletin, but this has opened my eyes. Are there any other lips tracks with brilliant music and tall blonde women in the video? This is a world of discovery!!
Their earlier stuff is definitely my favorite too. None of their stuff after this record ever had the same impact on me, cuz they stopped doing the awesome Dinosaur Jr-esque guitar noise freakouts in their songs.
I remember when Wayne stopped playing guitar at shows and started playing sock puppets. Took me a long time to get over the fact that the Lips I once knew were gone and not coming back.
@@predeterminedmeat5024 I saw them twice this year. Wayne played guitar for 0 seconds. Think he's more focused on singing and hype man. He lets the band do their job as he does his.
This song made me buy this album cause I kept missing it on the call in channel (lol can't remember it now with out check-in the VHS tapes) I just wanted The album cause it kept coming on the playlist lol.
Ha! I was a film student in college in Norman back then, and the only one small enough (although I'm 6') to fit into the dryer, to op the Bolex for those "throws clothes into dryer" scenes. Becky, Emma and Michelle stole the show.
I have aways said, the 90's were my 60's..... And I still stand by that... Such a FLOOD of new and original music and art..... I grew up in early/mid 70's BTW.
Ah the good days of The Flaming Lips when music was brilliant and so different. Miss this band though I think they still do tours now and again don't they?
Ah I thought they did just really stopped following em as close after they had a few of those terrible albums for a while there at the end of the later part of the 90s thought they lost the steam in those years they had earlier
Varden Longraf not a fan of the Soft Bulletin? To each his own. It's my favorite album of theirs. I do understand though you just prefer the more guitar driven stuff that was there when Ronald was still a part of the band.
