what happened to RHINO?
"Wow"
It was back in 2001-2002?. can't remember. I downloaded a few tracks from napster. On first listen I couldn't think of anything else, it was like a sonic revelation. next day I bought loveless (cd) and my life was changed forever
When I first listen to Loveless I thought I discovered it all.
Not my fav album, but the best this music nerd has ever head.
What is this? There isn't anything like it.

Like waking up from a dream you can't quite remember the details of... Only the feeling it left you with.
omg masquerade!
Great description of a post dream state
Lazy you have great taste in music
Whoa
Spot on!
This song is insanely addictive. I love the balance between the insanely heavy music and the beautiful gentle vocals.
esas beatiful gentle vocals son aburridas
Thats mbv for ya
No sound engineer wanted to record them because they refused to sonically agree with them that vocals could be on same level as all the guitars and their pedal effects….the lead singer, he was a nutter (or aGenius ….) He knew what he was trying to achieve ….
Hi I recommend an indie rock song & video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Also the killer drumming😊
God has this song in his playlist
This song is god
@@carlosmontufar1096 :+
god wishes he was this song
So does Satan.
God's playlist is just Loveless 3 times over.
I love how Kevin is very calm while playing his maniacal riff.
Yeah I tried to stay as expressionless as possible
Kevin lmao
He's literally shoegazing lol
@@A_Salted_Fishe HAHAHAHA
His literally shoegazing lmao
Can anyone imagine what it must have been like to see this video come on MTV in the middle of the night and have your mind completely scrambled? Was anyone prepared for this? It's current year and this is still somehow ahead of its time.
Who B'stank
I remember
I saw the world premiere on 120 minutes, and was fortuitously tripping balls. I instantly had a new favorite band and song.
Holy starlight! Those were the freaking good old days! Both TV shows: "Alternative-Nation", & "120 Minutes"; the two best & most essential music television programs that ever were! The sweet, mellifluous, mellow side of Rock depicted & represented, in a specialized music roster! The Alternative music 90's scene was the most golden age ever, for truly fantastic tunes! The Shoe-gaze sub-genre, was especially good.
It was so great because it gave a voice to a completely different and better style than everything else that they were showing. There is no thought in music television programming anymore and it’s the music that loses out.
It happened to me. Just stared at the screen during 120 minutes with my mouth hanging open. Beautiful. (Same thing happened with Fake Plastic Trees.)
I'm a vacuum repairer and this one has a serious problem
When I was young 4 or 5 we had a cylinder hoover + when it was switched on I used to lie down near it as I found the noise comforting . It's very similar to this MBV song.
@@philroberts1103dude i used to do the same w static noise from old tvs
One of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. It will never age.
it surely is
Loved it then and love it now❤
truth
What other songs from Loveless do you like? Because I listened tot he whole album and this is the only one that speaks to me.
@@TimeGallon what you want, into soon
I love that the music videos look like the music
The visuals of this albums are just like the damn songs, I bet they even taste alike
why tf are u here
so also the cover of the album
no the music video is trash,the song is great
i am boomer. Don’t say "trash" you boomer!
Bought Loveless at a music store, and I never heard MBV before. So naturally, when I put it on the stereo in my dad's car, the first five seconds of this song hit us like a sledgehammer...
its soooo sparkly and pink!!! :-)
:)
i can imagine so well hahahaha
As soon as that DUT DUT DUT DUT ends, it blows you against the wall with gorgeous noise.
First song i ever heard from mbv was soon and i was like "wow this is beautiful" so i gave this song a listen and had my skull pulverized
What the hell were these guys snorting when they created this track? This is legitimately one of the most weird and craziest piece of music I have come across in my life.
Lmao 😂 this comment is underrated
kevin shields is a fucking genious!
High on sound
Heroin, LSD, and atomic bombs.
They’ve probably been snorting a lot of pre-Geffen Sonic Youth and Glenn Branca…
I found this band through an "accident". my friend once told me about Bullet For My Valentine. when i get back home i forgot the name, i only remember about "My Valentine" so i decide to search it on youtube about "My Valentine Band". and now im here, falling in love with My Bloody Valentine..
Great accident! Used to listen to BFMV in my "emo" days back in 2006-2008, but this Valentine is much better!
there is sincere beauty in sheer luck as this proves. Big X from Amsterdam brother sister, and give Henri the horse a hug too. @@HenritheHorse
I like both bands lol
HAND OF BLOOD THO
BRO SAME
I remember my dad showing me Bullets for my Valentine, and when I wanted to search it to listen, I forgot the complete name so I assumed it was Bloody Valentine, since I just remember something Valentine and bloody sounded right. Here I am after falling love with this band.
The first time I heard this song I thought the guitars sounded like a herd of elephants.
Garrett Johnson Hah bro you look like Morrisey.
Larethio The Wolf Dude. And here I thought we could be friends... lol
Garrett Johnson - Now I can't unhear it.
Lmaooo same!
they sound like dinosaurs to me
DUT DUT DUT DUT
VREEEEEEEEEW
VROOOOOOOW
that is another one lol
so close
That made me think of "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths for some reason
@@WeDwellinaFiefdomVREEEEEEEEEEW i am the son i am the heir
Of nothing in particular
This song has changed everything. nothing was the same after. Masterpiece.
same i have watched it over 60 times in the last 2 weeks.
Yea! Specialy for Peter Steeke.
How cute. You just discovered a 30 year old song. How cute, poser.
@@SamplingPercussion I discovered it 30 years ago. I just posted a comment one year ago.... u just make me smile honey
@@SamplingPercussion asshole, congrats!⭐️
Kevin looks sunken and melancholic, Colm is just vibing, Debbie could be feeling a number of emotions and Bilinda is giving off a dreamy distant vibe
I was always afraid to check these guys out because their name sounded like a generic 2000s emo band name... and now I know why. It would be hard not to be inspired by these guys musically. Great stuff.
Ha, same here. Always got them confused with Bullet for My Valentine.
Topher Glenn same
Jack Jackson My thoughts exactly
I keep trying to tell my friends about them, but it's so hard to get them into listening because they're all convinced "My Bloody Valentine" is some emo band :-))
Same here. They're my favorite band of all time now.
That iconic snare at the start lol
dut dut dut dut
Emily Morris VREEE VREOOOOW VREEEE
Oh man. Like a ton of bricks.
That snare is so unique and so thin yet thick at the same time. Incredible.
That's not snare. That's Thor's Hammer hitting against that shield thingy that Captain Whatshisname has.
I love the melancholy in her voice
Breaking news: musicians with foot fetishes get together to smoke pot and accidentally create a whole new sub genre
You could describe it that way - I read they were given nearly 1million pounds to make Loveless and they spent a fair portion of that on drugs and fx boxes. What a sub-genre though - they re-claimed ‘ethereal ambience’ from the likes of Enya and Peter Gabriel and married it to Dinosaur Jr riff rock. I still love listening to this when so much else from the time sounds dated.
Surprises..bloody..good
wait foot fetish?
Why the foot fetish tho?😅
@@lilroastbeef1840 genres called shoegaze
Shoegaze is an amazing genre.
Always underrated genre
@a w We called it dreampop back then... Shoegaze really only started being used with bands like Ride, Swervedriver, Lush, etc.
a w or ambient pop
The best genre but underrated af
Try sheogaze metal.
This is my first time listening to these guys but holy shit this is so good and different.
BobTheHammerGawd If you ever get the opportunity, go and see them perform. It will be the single loudest noise you’ll ever hear in your life. It’s literally mindblowing.
@@CynicSnacks wow you're verified :0
@@CynicSnacks hey it’s cynic snacks, love your stuff
Still the gnarliest, heaviest and most awe-inspiring guitar riff in music history over 30 years later. The first time I listened to Loveless front and back, Kevin Shield's monsterous guitar feedback actually scared the hell out of me years ago. It was like experiencing an atomic nuke outside my window, obiterating every gas store, house and antique within its grasp.
Pretty sure that was his intent
Hi I recommend an indie rock song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
it was a revelation. ridiculously influential.
Love your choice of words here. Gnarliest, heaviest and awe-inspiring describes it so well. Bass line complements the noise racket well too.
Check out the Cocteau Twins, you can see where this band gets it's inspiration from.
Sleep like a pillow, no one there
Where she won't care, anywhere
Soft as a pillow, touch her there
Where she won't dare, somewhere
Sweet like a mallow, softer, fair
Feel like you could swallow her
Sleep, going to tremble, she's not square
Soft like there's silk everywhere
Sleep as a pillow, comfort there
Where she won't dare, anywhere
Look in the mirror, she's not there
Where she won't care, somewhere
Don’t need drugs to listen to this, the album is a drug itself
who need heroin when you can listen to MBV
Chris Johnson seriously this
Chris Johnson they actually do this thing at their shows were the just make a bunch of noise at the end. They said it “gets them high”. Kind of cool.
@@ChrisJohnsonChannel Trainspotting reference
Drugs help tho
this song still holds up today, easily one of the top five 90's rock songs
"this song still holds up today" is probably the dumbest thing one could ever say. Good music like every good art dont age.

Cool - what are the other 4 ?
This is one of those songs I wish I could listen again for the first time, that iconic snare and the first vreeeeewwvrowwwsywh
28+ years on it's still mind-blowing. I had the pleasure to see them on their 1992 US tour promoting this album. I stood about 10 feet away from one of the PA columns during all 25 minutes of "You Made Me Realise". My ears are still ringing.
The infamous "Holocaust", eh?
I wore earplugs to that tour and my ears rang for a solid week
Saw them on that same tour and it has remained unmatched in sheer volume and blissful intensity.
Wonderful 🙉
so it IS true
At 2:50 the drummer looks like he is balls-deep in the craziest trip of his life. Probably was, god bless these madmen.
I heard a story that the drums on this record are entirely chopped up and used like a drum machine cause the drummer was too out of his mind on heroin to record.
I've read a lot about him being 'too sick' to play, could be heroin related or be a legitimate thing. This is the only song Colm played live on, all the other drum tracks he played basic patterns and beats and then they sampled them and put them together. Kevin also played a bit of the drums on this record too. Fun fact, Colm composed 'Touched' all by himself, although Kevin probably had influence on the mixing and post production.
INDEED! My first time I sat in a chair & was dumbfounded for hours.....Heroin most likely...very popular with this scene and times....I'm talking about acid by the way....
The fact in that time Colm was on not good condition for recording, and finally Colm and Kevin making the drum samples almost for the entire album
Colm was sick with some muscle or nerve disease iirc. No heroin, I'm afraid. I don't think these folks were into doing that crap.
You've got to give Shields props for persistence, he spent 7 years copying other peoples sounds, the cramps, c86 jangle, and sonic youth, until he finally hit upon 'his' sound and did something stunningly original with Loveless.
Isn't Anything is at least as innovative. More so if you ask me.
@@slaterslater5944 Only if you had never listened to Sonic Youth before MBV.
@@NashSpaceRocket
Never understood the Sonic Youth comparisons, to be honest and can't recall anyone making them 88-92 or so. I certainly wouldn't say Isn't Anything sounds like Sonic Youth.
And AR Kane

Now THERE's a good call..
Happy My Bloody Valentine's Day
Such a mesmerizing psychedelic masterpiece. How could this be over 30 years old? Timeless…
Summer July 1993
‘Only Shallow’ first exposure. I was hitchhiking alone across the USA from Oregon, I was 19. I stopped in Boulder, Colorado to visit my school friend Reid & Eric. They played this song & album for me while we smoked some of my dads Oregon Green Bud. That experience and especially this song, deeply imprinted my life.
This song holds a lot of sentimental value to me.
Today its been officially 30 years since this album was released, happy birthday loveless!
yes happy birthday
How can they sound so low and full of energy at the same time? I love this!
This album came out just a few months after Ten and Nevermind.
It was and is groundbreaking
and warrants much more love.
I’d put it up against most records from 1991,
which was a year full of great albums.
Great year indeed
Blood Sugar Sex Magic
The insane part is that it began recording in 89
Any records from 1991? You could easily argue that it’s the greatest album ever made.
Nevermind, Black album and other big 4 albums dropped in 91@@celebrity6781
I love how Debbie is riding chords on the small strings for most of the song. It really rounds out the arrangement. She is a kickass bass player
All these years, I'm still waiting for the chorus 😆 kevin is a genius
I remember trying so hard to appreciate this band when I was 15-16, I was into all kinds of rock/emo/ punk etc... but everytime I'd play this band i'd feel underwhelmed. After 7 years this morning I decided to play a bloody valentine song and holy shit was this great!
They didnt sound emo enough, they didnt sound punk enough, not even post punkish nor goth. But having acquired some maturity I want to say that their sound encapsulates what languor is and feels like.
@@97Imserious it’s the worst feeling when you try so hard to like something but you can’t right away
This is one of those bands that you are immediately blown away by or not
cannot believe people write fucking emo on here
oh wow and styled like how we grew up

SEEEEEENCHUUUU KTSAAAANNNNN
Love Belinda's sweet vocals rising through the cacophony of the guitar + drums. I could drown in her eyes. I want my hair back.
Ok guys this music gave me desire to tell you that i love yall guys. Stay healty and strong.
I was reading through Pitchfork's list of the 200 best songs of the 90s and this song is in 6th place. I was curious to check this out since I've never heard of this band before. I can't even explain how I feel about this song, it's strange but I really like at the same time. I never heard anything like this before. Today is august 25 2020, almost 29 years after the original release of the album and this still sounds ahead of its time. Just wanted to comment my first impressions here cause we don't have this opportunity everyday
The Smashing Pumpkins "Gish" sound, especially on Rhinocerous, comes from this song and this band.
Both great albums.
Gish came before this song. But Billy was a fan of mbv since "Isn't Anything", when they weren't all that popular, certainly not in the U.S. He claims "Daydream", which was one of the first songs written for the album back in '89 was him ripping off "Lose Your Breath".
You can definitely hear the influence on Siamese Dream, especially with his vocals.
GISH is the best thing SP ever did or will do
@@MENFUSSMIKE eh Siamese Dream imo is their magnum opus
Anybody else get a mild high just by listening to this album? Like your mind literally gets all buzzy?
nah that's just the tinnitus
Oh hell yeah. Much better if you actually get stoned and listen to it, though it works best with MDMA, you get sort of feeling anyway (this is what the band were doing, sleep deprivation, MDMA and smoking tonnes of weed) but when the music hits you feel it everywhere. Hard to put into words, it exceeds the capacity of words, you can oly really say "like the first time you heard loveless times 10". It's the one album I've ever heard that is at the same time trippy and romantic, like Blown a Wish, its simply the most beautiful and bizarre thing I've ever heard. Kevin was very interested in certain sounds and frequencies that are supposed to make people trip, its part of the reason for the loud live shows.
Once I was jumping and spinning around while playing Loveless and I felt high even without consuming anything.
Frisson (/ˈfrɪsən/ FRISS-ən;[1] French for "shiver"), also known as aesthetic chills or musical chills, is a psychophysiological response to rewarding auditory and/or visual stimuli that often induces a pleasurable or otherwise positively-valenced affective state and transient paresthesia (skin tingling or chills), sometimes along with piloerection (goose bumps) and mydriasis (pupil dilation).
yeah especially when the guitar glide, something weird felt in back of my head :D
I like fender guitars and long hair
I AM Fender guitars and long hair.
This is the first time to listen to this song, and now I’m fascinated by their sound!!! I love this!!!
Beautiful, beautiful noise. Fucking classic.
Word up.
Opening sounds like a vaccumm cleaner.
Welcome to shoegaze
vrewww vrooowww
Vrewwww vrowwww
My vacuum cleaner sounds more like Lush.
Alex Turner :o
I showed this video to my little brother, he liked it so much that he fell on the floor and started convulsing! God bless My Bloody Valentine!
Was surfing and stumbled upon this song. Weeks later all I remember is VREEEEE VRWWWW, and tbh I'm low key proud I could find it again with just that lmaao.
There’s something so chilling about Kevin just staring down at his guitar working his magic
From 1:44 to 1:47 looks like Colm (the drummer) is smiling. I don't know exacty why, but this detail made my day. However this is the song that one year and a half ago introduced me to shoegaze, and it was a point of no return because it has changed forever my view of the music. There is something special and unique in this genre but I'm not able to describe it with my own words. Thanks MBV, I will always love you and your music
Her earrings are so cool I’m gonna make them
I'm an old school shoegazer since 1985 thanks to The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy & The Cure - Head On The Door. I remember the term "Shoegazer Music" was 1st used around 1990 -91 as the scene was getting some deserved attention. It was originally meant as a "nasty critical description" by the music press to make fun of the lack of stage presence by the genre's musicians "shy kids who use too many pedals & seem to look down at their feet more than their audience" Weird how it's now an acceptable term.
As a musician shoegazer never came up, this was the crossover between punk and prog rock in my neck of the woods. Still doing as it is only natural as many of the guys I've played with through the years continue to experiment with sounds we've done in previous bands since the 80s. First time I heard this I knew it was a keeper!
0:49 Drumstick drop
jonanjello lol
lol
Classic @jonanjello, good eye, I'd missed that somehow. Another good example caught on film was in the Pink Floyd video for Echoes, in Pompeii. The drummer who looks like Animal from the Muppet Show and beat the drums like they owed him money tears into a drum solo with these giant drumsticks and completely shatters one, and has another stick in his hand within two beats without most people even being able to notice, it happens so quickly. It is Fierce!
what a fucking great song.
This song is fucking awesome.
Playing this song on repeat hearing those drums slam in the intro is such a deep hard hitting feeling I can’t describe
these 4 snares are so significant
Anyone else get asmr tingles from Belinda's voice?
Sunny Sunday Smile in ‘87 on vinyl. Loved the fast drumming and fuzzy guitars.
Kevin Shields playing in a winter coat for seemingly no reason at all is a v i b e.
Bilinda's eyes here, wow. With this music of Heaven all aroud her, they seem so salvific yet as cold as ice. It's so intense.
Her eyes are mesmerizing in this video...simply beautiful.
@@bigmicro just commenting on them, idiot. Take your ghetto talk elsewhere.
@@bigmicro LMAO
Still sounds fresh in 2020
This is the moment where "wall of sound" created. Every chorus you see in pop songs resembles to this is because of this. This was the beginning. Never forget. These guys were genius. Edit: And don't forget why the "most replayed" part is the beginning: its because this is a masterpiece. You gotta replay it over and over again like a prayer, because its divine. The God or Allah or Buddha...etc speak through this song
You ain’t wrong, but the “wall of sound” technique started back in the ‘60s with Phil Spector. I think this was a pioneer in its sound effects though. Either way, good observation.
One of the most expensively produced albums ever. Masterpiece
Really? Didn’t know that
@@shawnstarks1743yeah, it nearly bankrupted their label.

it effects the guitar sound doesn't it?
Thanks
I can still feel shivers down my spine like when I bought this record back in '91, got home, played it first and thought "these guys know places we can't even imagine could exist"
Occasionally something totally brilliant comes along and stops you in your tracks - When I first heard this track the hairs on my neck stood up as that wall of glorious sound knocked it out of the park - My Bloody Valentine are something very special... Musical Art.
Oh my freakin' Gawd! The guitars sound like the mating calls of gigantic chainsaws. So overwhelming but so sexy at the same time. No wonder Loveless is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. What a way to kick off the 90s!
The best comment I have ever seen

LOL at the related videos list containing a fucking Bullet for My Valentine video
Lucas Ferreira HAHAHA
People used to correct me when i'd say i enjoy mbv 'Ya mean bullet for my valentine?'
I found this song a couple months after my break-up in 2017. Quite a sound to listen to while my heart was torn in two.
One of the greatest tracks EVER recorded! Sublime, simple genius.
the drumming makes this track one of my top 5 MBV songs
Bilinda's eyes and lips 😍😍😍and her voice 💓💓💓
Cuando eres gamer 👍🏳️🌈😍😍🥰
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Absolute masterpiece. A sonic marvel.
The sound of jazzmasters guitars is the soul of shoegaze ♥️
After 20 years... Still slays me every time. Bilinda's raw beauty... The sounds... The lights...
I saw them live last year in Birmingham and it was by far the loudest thing I have experienced.
...incredible guitar, but the vocals... absolutely exceptional! Love this band eternally..
Still remember the first time I popped this in my walkman. Girl I liked had suggested I listen to it. Ended up staying friends with the girl, and falling in love with MBV.
Best band to come out of my home town. Proud to be Irish when I listen to MBV.
I bought Loveless on a whim at the record store once. Took it home, cranked up the stereo and put the CD in, only to be greeted by:TATATATA
VRRREEEEWWWW
VRRRROOOEWWWWWW, etc..
needless to say, I was an MBV fan from that point on!
John Burns Did it not blow you against the wall? It did me.
Mr. Reich
it didn't quite blow me against the wall but it blew my face off for sure
Best drum intro ever..
So distinctive.
Still gives me shivers,like when it first came out!
YES.,,,,,,
shoegaze saved my life. i cant even express how dark of a place i've been in. its like ive been to hell and back. only people with eczema would understand how hard this life is...... this album awoke something within me. it gave me a second chance at life and happiness.it numbed my pain. i'm 6 months of steroid cream and life is seeming brighter :) MBV forever
holy shit you’re so right, I suffer from eczema and a lot of the time it’s so depressing
The song from heaven
this song is so romantic
onemorebrando No one gives this enough credit for that.
Kevin Shield è una di quelle poche persone che nella storia della musica sono riuscite a comunicare qualcosa non a parole, ma con il suono.
Questo urlo, tanto melodico quanto straziante, segna la saturazione e quindi la fine di un periodo, gli anni 80, e segna l'inizio degli anni 90, un'epoca veramente oscura
This song sounds like going to heaven and being rejected .
Who cares what the lyrics are just love the layers, shades, and moods of this song!
Goosebumps every time. I know people say that with music a lot, but this is genuine fucking goosebumps all over
Cherub rock and this...my favourite songs of the 90s
Quintessential 90s tune.
DemenBlack If Billy’s not a little bit envious of this song... well then he ought to be 😏
Love Cherub Rock... especially to play on guitar with a good Big Muff fuzz pedal.
I’d say This is probably one of Billy’s favorite 90s songs, too.
i can remember lying down on the couch and suddenly this cacophonic maelstrom of guitars, faint washes of synth, a syncopated yet consistent beat but it was the wispy, somewhat detached angelic lullabys intoned by Bilinda in a manner so sweet that it makes you feel safe in her world even as her somnambulant musings become more like disembodied spirits floating in and out of this beautiful and very experimental cocoon of aural Nirvana! It was almost too sensuous to be taken as simply schoolgirl crushes and who grants us special access to her most closely guarded secrets and Her stuffed animals all neatly organized sitting atop an eiderdown comforter with butterfly prints.This music is highly seductive and straddles the line between pillow talk and flat out sonic fornication, it's def earporn, especially with a great pair of headphones.
How I overlooked this beautiful song in '91? In fact this song, beside the Smells like teen spirits, defined the 90's music.
This album is fucking beautiful
Thurston Moore on drums!!! Kool!
Fuck lol I was thinking the same thing
Doesn't look like him to me.
HAHAHHAA actually, is Beck on drums
After all the 80's hair bands, this was like rain sent from heaven to wash everything clean.
