I didn't discovery GBV until WAY after the 90's but still dig them. Wish I was hip to them during their heyday.
Linger is a nice song, but it pales in comparison to both IMHO.
I am always surprised when I go back and listen to Zombie how much more is going on there than I remember.
I was listening to a jo Rogan interview with Billy. He as about an interesting guy as I’ve listened to. Not a big Roganfan but it’s a good podcast with Corgan
I like to listen to Rogan when he has a guest I'm interested in (e.g. Bill Maher, Jim Gaffigan, Dave Chappelle, Mike Tyson)...he does good interviews for sure. Billy Corgan on Howard Stern was very interesting...there's a bit about him having an experience with a ghost/supernatural being that is bizarre. He claims to have witnessed several instances of supernatural phenomena...transformations and such. ??????
Also, does it bother you when you're rocking out to YouTube listening to say this:
That Youtube will then throw some Charmin commercial in there which breaks the mood.

They're well known around here (Cincy), but that's because they are from Dayton.
Released at the beginning of my senior year of high school. Another incredible debut album...
Underrated allegory?
More iconic music from my high school years, and another sparkling debut...
Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of no body knows
Where the parson goes, where does the parson go?
And of course, the masterpiece that Cat probably didn't realize he had written...
I've never seen this video before, but for some reason it popped up in my you tube feed yesterday. I've seen Eddie sing with Bruce in Australia, Chicago and Seattle, jam with Neil, The Stones, Macca etc... But I never knew he sang live with Cat/Yusuf...
His voice is perfect for the Son, but I was surprised when they had him invert to the Father for the 2nd reprise, and Cat reverted back to Son. Surprised there aren't more views...
I remember "hearing" this for the first time. I'm sure I'd heard it before but there was a point in my musical listening odyssey that this became awesome.
I was 19
My vote .... in retrospect ...
tied with this. Hmmmm, Pac is probably at the top.
More of the 90s vibe. So many good Letterman performances on YT.
One of my favorite childhood memories was getting Final Fantasy VII on PS1 for Christmas then spending the entire break playing and listening to the Makaveli album on repeat. Definitely prefer All Eyes on Me though.
I only recently became aware of the back story and the references to 60's LSD chemist Owsley Stanley. Bless you tube and the internet...
First concert. Got bombed and crashed in the car. mazda 626 backseat went all the way down so you could put your feet/legs in the trunk
First real concert was Johnny Cash at around 6 years old. I partied up on soda and chips, and crashed in the backseat on the drive home.. good times.
Hadn't heard this in a while and I've never seen this video before. I guess the background is something like "Peaky Blinders"?
Graham's solo work, as well as Crosby/Nash albums were always kind of hit and miss for me. Some fantastic songs and some that were just OK, but this one off of Wild Tales always struck a chord...
Inspired by his dad's imprisonment over theft, which basically wrecked the family and left a lasting impression on Graham as a young boy. One commenter mentioned that years later Graham was performing in Manchester and realized that the same judge who sentenced his Dad was in the audience...
Jealous. That's my older brother's favorite band and he saw them several times but I never took him up on the invite.
For some reason, my friend's dad was cool with dropping off me and my friend at Market Square Arena when we were maybe 13 to see the Hot Boyz, Three Six Mafia, and Too Short. Definitely an eye-opening experience as a boy from the sticks. That was my first concert.
Yeah was fantastic. We were just driving then too. Too Short lol. My friends loved too short. His name is Todd. I don't why I always thought that was funny
I remember going to concerts with my parents when I was real young like that. Saw jethro Tull. Thought it was scary so it stuck. Saw the Marshall tucker band at some fair where men started doing donuts in their cars on the field in front of the stage. That was scary too
lol ...
They used to take me to bluegrass festivals too... I thought it was lame AF and to this day do not enjoy bluegrass.
Too many notes, too much treble and no real beat or rhythm. I appreciate it and even enjoy playing it, but I cannot stand more than a couple songs before my ears start complaining to my brain to turn that shit off .. it's one of the very few styles of music I just have never really liked. Hell I'll listen to shoegaze and screamo before bluegrass .
fwiw - most people don't know what bluegrass really is and call everything from old timey folk songs to country blues, bluegrass.
Mine was one of three possible shows I saw around 9th or 10th grade, but the order has grown fuzzy over the years. It was either Alice Cooper outdoors at the old Victory Field/Bush Stadium on 16th Street (Indy), Mountain (Felix Cavallari and Leslie Winter) at Sherwood Country Club, which I think was near Beech Grove on Indy's SE side, or Black Sabbath at the Indiana Theatre in downtown Indy...
Actually I attended the Sabbath show, but they decided not to. The Indiana was a cinema where they showed epic movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Caesar and Cleopatra, Sound of Music etc... The theatre sold orange juice in plastic orange shaped containers, which I later saw in Broadway theatres as well. So people were likely mixing booze in with their orange juice and these suckers were hard plastic...
Anyway after an hour or so when it became obvious Sabbath was a no-show it was a rowdy crowd. I remember the theatre either brought in a local band, or maybe it was the opening act on the bill, but eventually they announced that Sabbath wasn't going to perform. It turned into a near riot, and I'll never forget the sight of all those plastic orange juice containers being hurled at the poor guys who were trying to perform...
Just did a google and it turns out the show in 1971 was cancelled due to sound system issues. Never knew that, or the fact that the show was rescheduled or that Irving Azov was the promoter. It was the Paranoid tour, and all I really remember are all those plastic oranges raining down on the stage...
