    perhaps the most underrated composer, writer guitar player, of the 1990's

      Matthew is a longtime fave of mine and my husband's... I so dig his songwriting, guitar playing and impeccable taste. Always great to meet others who appreciate his work :)

      Word! A friend of mine saw him supporting Morrissey in the UK in the early 90's and bought me the Girlfriend LP. I've been a huge fan and heavily influenced by him ever since x

    Matthew Sweet: a songwriter of the highest order, a living legend, a troubadour and an overall badass. I hope to meet him one day. It's people like him that actually makes America great.

    As someone who discovered Matthew Sweet only recently, well after his heyday, I’m amazed at the endless succession of fantastic songs this man has put out over the years. Sifting through his back catalogue is endlessly rewarding.

    Saw Matthew this Summer. He still rocks pretty hard and his band had a great sound. Have to agree with Fred in that MS is REALLY underrated and UBER talented

    Divine Intervention a la Richie Havens. Fucking Epic. I love you bro. Thank you for your music. You were the Soundtrack to my awkward 14 yr. old self back in '91. God Bless Matthew Sweet, an American treasure!

    • @brianmiller1077

      Do you have the Goodfriend CD? it's quite a bit like that version (compared to the Girlfriend version).

    • @andrewom679
      @andrewom679 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Brian Miller CD?! I had the cassette tape. It did not withstand the sands of time.

    Huge fan of Matthew! Got to meet him in Bandera, Tx. at a show on his In Reverse tour. I was pretty damn drunk and did not make the most of our visit. Regret. He is a rare, deep, talented cat that deserves more praise than he gets. He was cool to me anyway, drunk or not...Class guy. TALENTED guy.

  • @Cascademenace

    I got into Mr. Sweet with the Girlfriend album, and then purchased Altered Beast. I loved Altered Beast for how raw it was. It was darker, and the production seemed spotty, which really matched my space at the time.

    @screenpuller 13 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wow, his acoustic version of "Divine Intervention" is so good... I could TOTALLY picture Joni Mitchell doing it this way, that would be awesome! :)

  • @missica15

    My first association to different pronunciation of ``garage`` was my elementary school English teacher. From now on it`ll be Curt Smith. I love it.

  • @screenpuller
    @screenpuller 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I know people interpret the meaning of lyrics in different ways, but that last song really struck something deep in me since I have no belief in any deity... "Do you believe, deceive yourself?"... brilliant.

    • @padraig0703
      @padraig0703 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      i don't believe he is an atheist. he's from Nebraska, after all. that said, the lyrics remind me of the Ugly Truth song. guys great.

    Most folks know of the Girlfriend or 100% Fun album. Imo the under rated albums are In Reverse, Altered Beast, Blue Sky On Mars, Kimi Ga Suki. In recent years I've enjoyed the songs "Push the Fellings", "Back of My Mind", and "Feel Fear".

    Great songwriter. Good choice using a 12-string, fills out the sound. Voice sounds good in 2011. Really good. Some great tones on pull the trigger.👍👍

    @SteveAshcraft 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    his story about almost NOT getting signed. I lived that one. ugh. One dude decides his girlfriend needs on the roster instead of you, and nobody remembers anything a week old and that's it. you're done.

  • @ScottSimpson
    @ScottSimpson 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I would've enjoyed this so much more if the engineering had been better. The recording sounds like this was done at a community television station. The talent cuts through, but a little attention paid to the sound recording would've been appreciated.

    Dude. You're mistaken. This is Michael Moore at a Michigan open mic. :)

    @duckler2; tsk, tsk. Matthew Sweet = one of the better singer songwriters of the last twenty years here in America. Altered Beast is...a beast. Give it a listen sometime.

    Aside from being an incredible song writer and interviewee...Matthew has similarities between Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Sloane from Welcome to the Basement, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
    It's a high stakes raffle with this guy, and the prize is big time.

    Curt looks like Timothy B. Schmit.
