I had beat stage 3 cancer but lost my home, my job, my car, and gotten divorced. Been digging out for three years. When my best supporter and best friend of 30 years passed away. Losing her felt like the last straw. And then you ladies came to Louisville. That was my first show anywhere in years. I have always drawn from strong, creative women and it has been so inspiring to relive memories of your previous music and relate to the new album. It's not about winning any contest. You should know the affect you have on people. Your soul should be fed too. Thanks for your courage all these years 😗
As a "weird" girl growing up in a small town, I was frequently bullied for a variety of things (having red hair, listening to something other than country and/or rap, dressing tomboyish, being interested in the occult and paranormal/supernatural, etc.). When I discovered L7, I felt like I had some badass women providing the soundtrack to my life. L7's music helped me embrace my "weirdness" and say, "Fuck you," to that small town mentality. Their music helped me embrace my true self and to care less what others think of me. There were many times that I wanted to give up on everything including life, but they helped me deal with stuff through their music. I owe my life to them because they helped save it more than once. I love L7!!!!
Gotta laugh at ppl who write an essay as an answer to a TH-cam video comment hahahaha .......... Still not figured out how the internet works yet?????
aint it the truth tho...kids pretty much listen to country, rap or tween pop. the best thing that happened to me in high school was some friends introduced me to black flag, dead kennedy's, suicidal tendancies, fear and the like...i loved L7 in the 90's. amazing they are still rocking. there are lots of female and trans musicians that are easy to identify with that dont go with the normal. most of them are in the indie circuit. speedy ortiz, milk teeth, summer cannibals are a few you can start with.
@Goggle products what's wrong with editing a post?
L7 helped me accept my feminine side and say "fuck you" to doubts about crossdressing...
@Goggle products OMG... YOU are so totally the "Moral Majority" that L7 sang about in "Pretend We're Dead" ! You're such a total Santorum ! Sorry to see that you've persisted since those 80's Reagan-era intolerant, mind-control, conservative FREAKS without ever growing TF up.
Hypocritical, conspiracy theory nut job, religious sheep are the F*CKIN' WORST ! ?
My mother passed away Monday....been down all week. Hearing this and listening to the others in your catalog really hit home last night. Sorta centers me in all this life shit.
I'm Brazilian currently unemployed and even without money I traveled to Rio de Janeiro to watch L7’show at Circo Voador. These were the best moments of my life in recent years I cried and laughed like a child
L7 has always been my go to when I need a jolt of confidence to stand up and fight for myself. Slide, Shove, One More Thing, and Shitlist were the fuel for getting out of an a abusive relationship. It's not only the emotional grit of L7's songs that get me through tough times but the humor that's even more important. Livin' Large is helping me on my journey to reinvite myself in the second half of my life...Got some lemons, make some kickass lemonade.
right on!
Dyou realize L7 commented on your comment? Lmaoooo 😍😍😍
I'm in in!!!!!! Thanks for the invite. Hopefully someday we can get together and enjoy a good drink on a sunny Sunday afternoon listening to some good old Riot Girrrr old school shit!!!!!!!!
Your music reminded me that my strength never left me. I had moved to massachusetts from Puerto Rico at the age of 20 and it all happened overnight. My parents found out I was gay and I lost my home. When I was starting my new life, new language, new school, new identity, I felt small and worthless. I got introduced your music and started seeing glimpses of the courage in my heart. Thank you for keeping me bad ass. I love you l7
We love you too!
Exactly Just exactly the way i also feel!!!! 💓🌹💥
I was in the ultimate “Holding Pattern” - I was a young queer person stuck in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. When I first discovered L7, I was floored. They had awesome music, they looked cool as shit, were super political, and believed in the causes I did. I fell head over heels in love with the band immediately. I became obsessed with Los Angeles and the grit of Hollywood in the late 80s and early 90s. I knew one day I had to get the fuck out of Phoenix and move to LA. (MISSION ACCOMPLISHED)
L7 was such an integral influence in my life. They influenced my guitar playing style, my fashion (ugh my stringy long hair!), and my aspirations. They were an example of how you can be an outsider and still be incredibly fucking awesome. I had a hard enough time as a teenager, always feeling like no one understood, and I couldn’t figure out why (and it took me until I was 28 to figure it out for myself - I’m trans!). They gave me something to aspire to; something to believe in, something to live for. L7 FOR LIFE!

Da la la laaaa laaa la
Hesitation wounds.... This album is fucking great. This song makes so much sense..... Get here soon......
Your music has been a part of my life for almost 30 years and has gotten me through so many trials and tribulations...One of my closest friends had become dependent on drugs and started putting herself into scary situations with her 2 young daughters. When she got hauled off to jail for domestic violence, I had a choice to make for these 2 young girls...who not only witnessed the violence but, were innocent in all this. I ultimately made the best and most important decision in my life...I called Children Services and said...I want these girls to live with me. I adopted them and am now a Mom! That was just over 6 years ago and they are now 7 and 9 years old. I have always relied on your music...during this time...from Fast and Frightening to Bad Things and Must Have More. And I find it so awesome that now my daughters love and ask for me to play Beauty Process and Scatter The Rats every day in the car. Hearing them singing and enjoying my favorite band is priceless! Thank you for all the great music all these years!
Our daughters are so lucky to have you as their mom! What you did for the kids in the darkest moment of their lives is beyond incredible, watching you parent them with love and laughter is my favorite thing in the universe. Thank you for introducing me and the girls to L7! I still think you should have showed Donita, Suzie, Jennifer and Dee the tattooed portraits you have on your back and the L7 hands on your stomach tattoo when we got to meet them in June in Pittsburgh! Because of your love for L7, it has become a part of our home and daily lives. I couldn't imagine a car trip without hearing the girls jamming to the band. You are the most incredible wife in the world 😍
xoxo
WOW, that's such a beautiful story ! Your friend's girls are truly lucky and your friend too, to have you in their corner ! I LOVE F*CKING HAPPY ENDINGS !
Whenever I was feeling down I would put on Bricks Are Heavy and listen to the whole thing front to back. When fighting cancer, I listened to it every day. I am still here! Thanks to L7!
Get therapy instead of ranting on YT- You’re insane (to think anyone would actually read this entire post), Which btw doesn’t make any sense
baby666 doll that guy must have too much time on his hands
@Goggle products who is actual going to read that
Craig thanks for sharing 🙂!
L7 has always been my go too. I grew up gay in a town that really didn't want me to exist. My favorite memories are driving the back roads in the middle of the night listening to Bricks, Beauty and Hungry. I felt fucking understood. Slap Happy came out, and the song Freezerburn really made my love complete.
Since the reuinion, I've bought tickets to 3 shows, but was only able to make it to the town that I live in. And I got all of my best friends tickets to come with. It was the funnest night Omaha has seen in a long time. And we have a cool music scene here.
Happy Birthday Suzi! Thank you for the interaction for the show I got to go to. Donita, thank you for the fist bump! Live you all dearly.

@@blackheartrecords No Way!!! Thank you so much!!! This means the WORLD to me!!! On behalf of all of your fans, THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
@@blackheartrecords is this real?
Congratulations!!
Thank YOU Jonathan! xo
Welcome back, ladies. You've been missed.
More L7 content! We want MORE
L7 helped me from break ups to shitty days. I still listen to L7 to blow off some steam, specially while driving. Love you!!
I struggled with drug addiction from age 15 through 24. Going through withdrawal and kicking heroin addiction cold turkey was a major struggle. I have always found a release in music. Bricks Are Heavy became one of those records that pushed me through the pain. One More Thing and This Ain't Pleasure were on repeat. I have 15 years clean now and still have a huge respect to you gals and that album! Thanks for everything.
Right on!
Stay strong brother 🤘🏻😃
One day at a time.
15 to 24 isn't a addition its called advertising youth's zombies lol,any way stay clean.
Grunge for future :)
This song. This band. My story. Our vines intertwine over the years and the struggle seems shared. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis almost 13 years ago. I've been a waitress for at least 25. Talk about a holding pattern. These lyrics are my life. I work to find a way to keep going, do it, it's just your life. I watch myself change, march (or walk slowly) into the unknown...Donita. Wow. This is my anthem as I FIND A WAY to stay positive (and sometimes cry), count the good, love my boys and hope that one day this very heavy disease gets cured. Get here soon.

DEAD!!!!!!! GAAAAAAH Thank you from the bottom of my own little black heart!!!
Big congratulations ❤🤟🏽♠️🤟🏽
This song is so uplifting ! Scatter the Rats has grown on me. Been a fan since ‘93. The Beauty Process really helped me get through my senior year of high school in 1998. I need and must have more are still relatable even to today’s life situations. Thank you for reconnecting. Means more than you know!
I was 13 when Hungry For Stink dropped, I borrowed money to buy it, I couldn't believe there were women making music like L7! The music video for Andre inspired how I dressed, my attitude and I eventually begged my parents for a guitar, discovered Bricks Are Heavy and learned every song on my own. You are all very dear to my heart, when the Riot Fest show happened a few years back my friend and I flew to Denver just to see you! We did the meet and greet, saw the show and had the time of our lives that weekend! My life felt full circle. Raised in Canada in the middle of nowhere I never thought the day would come when I'd see a L7 show! There is no doubt in my heart that it was your fearlessness that encouraged me to live out my life the way I do. Now I live in Phoenix, have a rad radio show and label and try to encourage other young women to truly follow their dreams. THANK YOU FOREVER.
La meilleure chanson de l'album.
merci
@@L7TheBand Thank YOU L7 ! Love from France!
Люблю этих тёток с молодости!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful song, great video.
L7 deserves far better than the world has treated them.
Real music still lives!
Been a fan of L7 since the beginning.
They taught me to be politically involved even of a subject doesn't necessarily affect me personally such as abortion rights.
Reject politics and embrace ur Ego
I honestly don’t remember a time when L7’s music wasn’t there to help me through the hard times as well as the happy. The most prolific time in my life when L7 has an impact on my life was after my “father” overdosed on heroin just 4 days after Kurt Cobain died. My head and life was so fucking fucked. Bricks Are Heavy was like a warm blanket that just felt right. Then Hungry For Stink came out and re-ignited me. I remember opening the CD (god how old am I??) and the first opening chords to Andre hit my ears and penetrated my soul. Of all the amazing music that came out in 1994, BAH was THE music I needed most in my life at that moment and I am eternally grateful!! Love you ladies to death and I don’t care if every bone in my body is broken I will not ever miss a live L7 show in Philly. Much love ladies! I am sure where this is my story there are thousands across the globe. Your music changes so much for the better and truly speaks to people who have trouble finding their own words! Xoxoxo
Much love to you!
@@scottlandis7753 Ironic... that it's actually Goggle products that's the evil one, with his intolerance and bigotry and hypocrisy and hubris !
The very 'moral majority" that L7 sang aobut in "Pretend We're Dead"
I'm sure I wouldn't be alive if I didn't have L7 in my life. I discovered their music when I was 14 years old. I'm gay, have autism and red hair so I was not exactly popular in school. I was very lonely and couldn't connect to people. L7's music gave me the strength to not give up and keep trying. In a way, they were my best friends. So, I am forever grateful and will honour the best band in the world by getting a rib tattoo of the hands logo on my 40th birthday next year. Thank you!!!
L7 saved my sanity as a kid & right on through today. These women were the epitome of strength & perseverance in my eyes. Their music gets out the rage & replaces it with determination and empowerment. It helped me survive all the bullshit & gave me a drive to better myself. I'll be blasting L7 til the fuckin wheels fall off!
L7 you are such a rocking band and I love playing all your songs, old and new. My wish is that you come and play again in Perth, Western Australia ...Please!!
Australia: you got your own L7- "Miss Destiny"!
So merry to have L7 back!
So many L7 memories. As a high school graduation present my dad, my friend, and her mom drove from San Diego to see L7 at the El Rey in 2000 and spent the night in Hollywood. Our other male friend borrowed my skirt and barrettes and crowdsurfed and made quite the splash. One day sadly he took his own life. He was a huge L7 fan. Years later I would never imagine hanging out with L7, sitting at their VIP table at a Babes In Toyland reunion gig at the Roxy. Seeing one of the bands I grew up listening to, WITH one of the other bands I grew up listening to. Ill never forget how exciting and lucky and honored I was. Seeing Brody Dalle, L7, and Exene Cervenka, Eric Erlandson, and Patty Schemel all backstage at that Babes in Toyland gig, watching Kat Bjelland and Maureen Herman putting their make up on in front of the mirror. What a night Ill never forget and boy was I the fly on that historical wall... Lastly, getting my ass kicked by the loser security guards who never made it as cops who really like to remind you what losers they are and really beat the living hell out of people and take their power and aggression out on others at the Fonda, they pulled me out of that crowd so hard I couldnt work for 1 week because I was crowd surfing. No signs saying no crowd surfing or any warning that was prohibited. Anyway ha Ill never forget that. (Please dont delete my comment for saying that, if you need me to change that part I will... ) L7 thanks for coming back The world needs real rock and L7 is here to bring it back. Thanks for all the memories..
L7s first attempt at a slow melodic song .. & it's GREAT ! .. showing a side to Donita's voice i didn't know she had .. i love it .. good job as always L7
Shove..somewhere in the late 90's L7 played a show in Mechelen, Belgium.Me and my girlfriend(still toghether now!) were having a good time jumping around and enjoying the show together when Donita said "this ones for the guy with his Dead Kennedys shirt and the girl with the black t shirt " and started playing Shove. Probably because of our enthousiasm and the rest of the room was just standing there. We didnt care, we were having a blast and were very happy with our song. Still have the long sleeve with the green skeleton hands I bought at that show. Now shove is still the song we put on when things get difficult and we need to get through it..GET OUTTA MY WAY OR I GONNA SHOVE!!! Anyway thanx for the great music, would love to see you again in Belgium!
Oh l7! Back, 7 years ago I had a monumental change in my circumstances and stumbled into my now husband's living room drunk. Up here in the highlands. He introduced me to you 4 when we were just a couple of mates hanging out every weekend. With Drama (very relevant at the time!!!!) Shitlist, I need, off the wagon.... I could go on and on, you get it. We fell in love and got married. And we still to this day 7 years later claim that you are the theme music to our relationship. Seeing you in glasgow was the cherry on the top. Keep doing what you do and we will keep doing what we do to it!! Much love! 🤘🤘

I may not of been of gone to one of your concerts in the 90s, by the time I was born you had a couple of demos out, on your fourth album, and by the time I would start to listen to your music the reunion tours didn't happen yet. Confused and Sad in the dismal depths the new millennium would usher in and plummet to, I found myself being swamped by all the teenybopper pop music that I grew up with ,,, just wasn't giving me knowledge to better myself or speaking to the times we are in. Cue in H.F.S., "Can I run" was my anthem to help me get through the mass shooting that occurred in my hometown of El Paso, Texas last night. "Talk Box" is my sanity when all I see my community clogging themselves with addictions; each one blinded and unable to help the person next to them. Thank you above all else for the powerful women you hi-light in your catalogue like Shirley Muldowney or Ms.45. I've been uplifted in the self-discovery transcended by all the words of encouragement and the message you've left for others to get enlightened by. You encapsulate so much and put an end to all the naysayers. Yes, your music has helped me tremendously through the worst of times, but i've learned break through, handle me, and never get stuck here again. I promise to never get swept in the undercurrent of American Society, Swan dive into the void, 'Til the wheels MF fall off!
love you,

I am bipolar (1), my life is a series of extremes, ups and downs. L7s music has provided much of the soundtrack of the roller-coaster that is my mood disorder . Bipolar is the monster in me.
Thank you L7 x
Hang tough xo
@@L7TheBand your comment just made my mother fuckin' day
I'm thankful that L7s music helped get me through life and made me appreciate who I really am. I have aspergers syndrome and while it's been a personal struggle I've had L7s music make me feel better about myself and happier when I feel unaccepted and treated unfairly in the world. Thank you L7! For everything! ❤
Hey! L7 and the women helped me understand feminism and sisterhood. But as a gay man this and their music made it okay to feel the way I did, and get through it in a healthy way. L7 made it open for anything. I turned so many people onto them. Any song you look at is a story and a doorway for people to open up and realize we’re all here. We have ears and we can do it!
Your music has helped me get over a serious health problem. A few years ago, I had a nasty diagnosis that took me several years to overcome. I needed weekly visits to the hospital for treatment. Guess whose music was blasting my eardrums! L7 ! So upbeat, fun and it just made me want to dance.
I'm better now. I continue to play your music when I'm down, not feeling great, or just want to get in a great mood.
I can't say thank you enough.
Scatter the Rats builds on your previous work nicely.
Rock on!
Yeaaaah, L7!
This song grabbed me hard when I first heard it. I was going through a difficult situation when STR dropped. New L7 was exactly what my soul needed to get in a stronger head space.
HP became a new favorite the first time I heard it. It has this “keep going- you’re gonna be fine” feeling. I played the whole album and sometimes just HP every day, and each time I felt a bit better. It probably took a couple weeks, but it helped me feel strong and able to stand up for myself. I’ve turned to L7’s music many times and it always gets me feeling better. Even if it’s just to rock hard and have fun or let out some aggression. I’m so happy they came back. Hope they stick around.
!!!
When I watched you from the front of the crowd with my five year old daughter in my arms. I’ve loved you for 25 years. I’ve managed to feel the same age for 25 years..an inability to see myself as mature or evolved...but in that moment, watching my daughter look up at you with that same zest for life and pure awe that I did all those years ago...something inside me changed. It propelled me into the next phase of my life. I will be forty in December, and that experience this past June was something that I don’t think would’ve happened under any other circumstances.
Thank you, L7, for opening girls eyes to the passion we have inside us....generation after generation❤️

I first heard of L7 in 1993, when I was 18. A friend of mine had the Bricks are Heavy cd and since then we listened to it nonstop. Knowing of the existence of this band was a huge boost to me, given there were no other chicks in rock music that I could identify with and see as role models. L7 prove to me and show the world what it was like to be real raw rocker women and not just some sexual-covered-in-leather stereotype. And I've admired them for their attittude ever since. L7 became a reinforcement in my identity construction process.
And I was thrilled to finally be able to see them live in Chile for the first time last december, 25 years later. Totally worth the wait!
Have been a huge fan since I was a pre-teen in the early 90s. I was always one of the weird kids with strange tastes in music, but I didn't care. I had 'Smell the Magic' in my Walkman.
Fast forward to early last year when I unexpectedly lost my mother, I clutched onto that album even harder. At that point, Bricks Are Heavy was speaking more and more to me with what I was going through - having to take care of a devastated father who lost his wife.
I felt renewed seeing you last April in Indianapolis and was sad I wasn't able to make it to a near by show this year.
And two weeks ago, I lost aforementioned father to suicide. Scatter the Rats has been on repeat on my playlist since.
I love you ladies like you're the big sisters I never had. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Fellow contest winner. L7 fans are the best. I'm sorry for what has happened to you. You sound like you have great strength and I'm glad you've found more strength that you need with music. L7 has helped me to stay strong in horrific times too. I'm a stranger, but I'm here for you. Even if it's just to talk about GREAT music. Enjoy your prizes! You deserve them!
I just woke up and saw this. I don't even know what to say! Thank you ladies so so much! I'm over here crying. 🖤🖤
@@thundercount9523 big congratulations ❤🖤🤟🏽♠️🤟🏽
Thunder Count Strong! xo
L7’s album The Beauty Process, IS a holding pattern in itself for me, that has gotten me through adolescence, my 20’s, and now I’m 36. I listen to it front to back whenever I feel like a nobody, when I’m feeling weak, small, worthless and unseen. In my mind, I become Donita Sparks, I have formed the band myself, and I’m on stage in a bar performing that album, sometimes I’m playing guitar, sometimes the bass...but no matter what, it fills me with fire, and it renews my confidence. It helps me remember who I am when I’m low. It’s in my top 5 favourite albums of all time. And of course I’m a fan all around, and finally got to see you all play here in Montreal last summer at ‘77. I think I might’ve been the most pumped person there haha...the new album kicks ass. I love you and I thank you all. Seriously. Xo
OMG Donita can sing as well as kicking ass on guitar...My new favorite song these girls rock!!!
This song arrived in my life at a very appropriate time in my life. I’m an American living in Switzerland with my German wife. We traveled to the US in 2016, right before the shit show kicked off over there, to get married in anticipation of returning there to live once my wife completed a degree she was working on to help ensure her immigration success. Then….the environment in the US took it’s dark turn and we, a gay couple, decided to wait it out until things improved. We’ve since been in this “Holding Pattern”, putting off major life decisions in the hopes that things would return to to a more accepting and welcoming attitude toward both immigrants and homosexuals. Not sure that is going to happen now though….but we have our L7 records to inspire us and help us keep going. As strong women who have overcome so much, you guys give us strength and your kick ass music is the soundtrack of our lives! Keep rocking ladies, so many women out here need you!
L7 has helped me kick depression and anxiety in the ass and helped me realize that I have a purpose and become a stronger woman. They also helped me through my first bad breakup and made me feel empowered enough to realize that I don’t need a man to be who I am.
Thank you very much for this jewel...L7 Always the best songwriter!😍🖤👏🏆
Many times on long haul trips in the bleak of winter, L7 were my sanity and "drug" to stay awake!!
I have two seperate times where L7 has meant soo much to me. The first was back in the 90's when I lived in Dallas Tx and had a crap job and had to deal with way too much, "Shitlist" was my song for trudging on, no matter how bad it got, I could crank it up and scream fuck it all, I can get through this, you ain't keep me down! The second was for "Fast And Frightening", it was the favorite of my sister who was also my best friend that I lost to cancer back in December, she would joke that it fit her because she considered herself a tough bitch with a heart of gold, I'll always love that song now because of her and was overjoyed to hear you play it live again at your last concert in Dallas, made me feel like she was there too.
I came across L7 when i felt lost with what to do in life. A lot of the music (Songs like Stick to the plan, shitlist, and many others.) helped me to stay on course of what I wanted to do with my life.
Got me through 2 divorces and went clean and sober the music got me through it all.
Now after bodybuilding injury I can’t lift weights for a few months so your music will get me through again I will make a big comeback again and be bigger and more buff and ripped than ever my age won’t even slow me down still feeling like. Teenager cranking up the music
I love love love this song! Happy to see a video for this.
yaaayyyyy, amazing!!!!
I go through patterns of negative thoughts & energies that seem to plague me to the point I feel cursed. It usually comes all together coincidentally into a chain of crappy life events that culminates into some sort of loss. It gets to the point it seems relentless and non-stop.Suddenly out of nowhere comes something positive to help me get soaring up high above the bullshit of life. Before long I start to see the sweet sparkling lining of all my gloomy darkness and I am able to see the positive again and I tend to flourish for awhile until the spiraling down pattern commences.
This new Scatter the Rats album was something that helped me find positive energies again and helped me remember the past and pull and draw myself back to full strength and hopefully extinguish negative patterns in life!
Thank you L7!!!!!
Keep soaring, keep the faith!
i followed the link from facebook.. i don't really have a certain song expect non-existent patricia that is the 'go to song.. it's for those good moments and those shitty moments. what i like about L7 is the humor you include on a lot of songs.. it makes me laugh and i get a sense of "it's not that bad after all feeling" so thank you for lifting me up L7! :)
This is so underrated! This is what music meant to be, edgy and catchy. The video is great btw!
I can listen to this song all the time. Such a good song in spending my holiday while doing my research's task.
Is this real? So many comments that I can relate to. L7 is the shit. Thank you for coming back for us. You kick some serious ass!
Many songs of L7 has influenced me throughout the years. I've been banging to these Sisters since the early 90s. Let's face it, our teenage years are some of the toughest times in our lives. After getting gay bashed, teased, laughed at, had rocks thrown at me, just for being different...me and friends would chill in my garage and we would riff to many L7 songs....a couple songs in particular: Shove, Shitlist, Drama, I Need etc...have all taken me to a different "plane" where all my fears and insecurities lifted...I found a place I fit into...and I eventually found me. Thanks L7 for beings there, for having relatively easy riffs I can play to on the guitar with your music in the background. You've def saved my life a few times xoxo
This song makes me so happy and it makes me even more happy to see all the joy this wonderful band brings for people all around the world. :)
The first time I had contact with the band was on a "Bricks Are Heavy" K7 tape borrowed by a high school friend. It was love at first sight. Right after that, L7 played at Hollywood Rock and I could hardly believe what I was seeing. You definitely influenced my way of living and seeing life. I learned to play the drums and guitar and, especially, I came to see life differently, after all my character was being shaped at that time (I was 13). L7 helped me a lot at this stage and I became a much more provocative and critical person. So at the most difficult times your music was there to remind me that I should move on with attitude and provocation. Thank you very much!
I went with my younger brother to Lollapalooza '94 on Randall's Island. One of his friends that knew I was a huge Runaways fan said to me "you should check out L7, they're great". Ok, so after the previous band finished on your stage I made my way up to the front of the stage. Mind you I'm mostly a progressive rock guy, Genesis, King Crimson, etc. No fucking clue what a mosh pit is. So you gals start playing and holy shit! What the fuck is going on around me! Your music gave me the energy and strength to get the fuck outta there alive! Thank you. I bought Hungry For Stink on blue vinyl a few days later. Still have it.
Hey!
M'y name is Capucine i'm french, I am 14 years old. I discovered L7 when I was very young, when my dad show me a video of their concert on the TV set "Nulle part ailleurs" it was the funniest and most impressive concert I've seen
Since i was child, I'm dysortographia , it does not matter, but i think the fact To be not normal made me sooo sad and isolate me. But listening L7 made me really really happy! The time of one song, I forgot all m'y problem.
Listening L7 allowed me to assert myself and identify me with strong and free women.
Even in 2019 their are still fast and frightening !!
(and i think jennifer finch is the best bassists in the world!)
Sorry for m'y bad english 😅
good Luck
Capucine ❤
Salut Capucine,
tu veux parler de " questionning my sanity" quand tu évoques leur passage à NPA en plein air à Cannes? C est en effet bien marrant. Tu as peut être vu sur uou tube un autre de leur passage sur NPA ( le studio cette fois ci) où elles interprètent le même morceaux et que Donita feint le malaise à la fin ? Les animateurs se demandent si c'est du lard ou du cochon ! 1 grand moment ! ( A moins qu' il s agisse de "Drama" qu' elles ont joué aussi vers 1999/ 2000 à canal +. Eh oui elles sont souvent passées en France à l'epoque !
Bonne continuation !
L❤❤❤❤ve this song...my summer hit for 2019 and further
Your music has helped me force myself, cut the crap and swandive into the void more than a few times! Anx/depresh is never too far from the surface but I turn to music to feel strong and fierce...L7 has always ALWAYS fit the bill to perfection 😍 Ive been relying on your albums for over 25 years for that "fuck yeah!" kinda feeling. Love you girls! Saw you in '94 Vancouver and again this June. Thank you thank you for rocking so hard and being amazing humans along the way! 🤘💜🤘
xoxo
L7 🖤
Knowing I live in the day and age where we lost L7 for quite a spell of time & now have them back in this modern day of music radio friendliness is quite the breath of fresh air. I saw em in the 90's and will continue to now til I am dead. It is sooo fun to go a off the wagon sing along and have them blow the roof off the building they rock our asses in. Also super cool gals if ya meet em. Idk they just helped me all in all become the moralistic human I am today. They have taught me even in my youth that you can be better than a macho male pig etc. Which in Iowa is almost all I saw displayed...that and ppl without emotion. I guess they made me feel like not an outsider bc i had them to rock too (as did the whole lot of bands back then). L7=to be a better human than the mainstream paints us to be & I will love their art forever bc of that. Cheers!
I listened to L7 everyday for like 6 months a couple years ago. I was in therapy for fucked up trauma and my dog died of cancer and my fucking boyfriend of 5 years started cheating on me and gaslighting me. It was fucking horrible! But I would turn on your music in the mornings and it made me feel like I could keep kickin the shit away from me. I saw you in Spokane like a month ago and had so much fun, it was a dream come true. The friend i went with said she’s never seen me so excited and happy. I’m 32 so I never thought I’d see you guys or that you’d come to shitty ass Spokane so thank you!
L7 for eva 💪🏽😝🚬
One of my favs off the album!
Have loved L7 since before Smell the Magic. Really one if the earliest bands i got into when i discovered true underground music. Great times seeing and meeting L7 when they played in Florida back in the day. How did they change my life? My first band was named EVERGLADE for two reasons: we were from Florida and L7s Everglade, of course! (I should've gotten on that tour bus when Donita asked! Haha)
Through the best of times & the worst of times y'alls music has always been there for me. The pure raw energy coming from those songs gives me a reason to keep going. Your music gives me goals to achieve. So please keep on keeping on.
What an amazing band love the new album great to see the original lineup together again
L7's music gets me through all manner of tough times. Maybe the one that sticks with me most is the song "Bad Things" from The Beauty Process. When the poop hits the fan (sometimes in threes!) and you gotta wade through it to come out the other side. Doing that can take time, or depend on other situations out of your control before it's resolved. And every time the bad things show up, your song gets me through it. Came here from the Facebook contest announcement.
Great tune !! It just flows
Not really a holding pattern, but i used to play 2 different codes of full contact sport here in Australia and i listened to L7 before every game i played to get me pumped up and confident enough to run out there and push my body to its limits every week!
Five of my babies died before birth and often when I came back from the hospital I was singing l7 to evacuate the overflow of disappointment and rage. I now have my little man 4 years ❤ shitlist ❤ never give up
DIY baby!
I love this band SO MUCH. ❤️
Me too!!! My favorite band!!!
L7 has given me so much joy over the decades. They’ve been there through good times and bad. Y’all getting back together was a dream come true. Hopefully I can bring my son to see you guys sometime soon. Thank You
My favorite new era L7 song 😎🎸⛽! My favorite band of all time!
My favorite band too
Love you!!!!!!!! 💓🌹💥
🖤L7’s albums have helped me every. single. day. since I discovered their music. Seeing L7 perform live in concert, has helped me: I rocked out really hard 3 times🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Meeting L7 in 1994 has also helped, proved to me that anything is possible: I went and got an L7 tattoo because I’d read in Guitar Magazine that an L7 fan got to meet the band because they got some L7 ink, so....I got to meet the band. Dee gave me a drumstick. Of course I still have it. I could carry on about how much I love L7, cuz I do. I love L7. Now, please award me my prize so that I can covet it and then add it to my shadow box coffee table that displays all of my L7 treasures😜💚🤘🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻!
xoxo
Blasting the entire new Bricks Are Heavy album every day back then helped motivate me to get out of my slump and face the day. Still works!
These letargic effects fits so much to the music... I'm already dreaming about them playing Brazil (especially Belo Horizonte) in 2020!!!
L7 has always gotten me through the best and worst times.Times of screaming and crying,times of happiness,rockin out and memories of home.I remember listening to you kickass ladies in my car the night my Fiance overdosed,screaming at the sky,hoping to rip a hole right through it.I just sang along,listening to you belt out your magick and held on.It might sound cheesy as fuck,but idgaf.You may never even see this comment,but if you do just know that your music has touched my life in so many ways! If you are in my area,Im fucking there FRONT AND CENTER! Fan forever! Much love!
Music has been there for EVERY time I've found myself stuck,trying to work through a rut or loop. Being bullied at school, getting divorced, my eldest sister and dad passing away.....every time music has been there to help me through,to drown my sadness and refire my spark and lift me out of a seemingly endless darkness. And it still performs its magic today. Viva music and viva L7.
what a beautiful song. very cool. 👌🏻 great lyrics, too. 🔥📀🔥🖤
20 years ago (when I was 19) My family went through a very tough time, nearly losing my life to bronchial pneumonia, it took a long time to get over, soon after we lost a family member to suicide, a friend to in car accident and the family dog. I struggled with my diabetes and it all got on top of me. But I had your music. Sitting in my room listening to and learning L7 songs on my guitar with my sister singing away helped me no end and I thank you to this day x
Man I love this song so much! Hope to see you in the Netherlands in 2020!!
Best female band on earth
Hell yea!!
best rock band on earth.clits and balls do not count.u must be young we are over the gender guy/girl thing are we not?
@@666chinchilla Calm down. Im Not Young. I Just posted my opinion. They are female. Whats the Problem?
If L7 ever helped me in my life? Yes. Why? After a working day, there is no more fun then drinking a beer and then turning on the music and the amp and trying to play along. I was so happy when i managed the Wargasm riff the first time, it was like, oh i can do it this way. And, not to be unmentioned, Camel Lips Gas Chamber, i still don't know if i like the movie for the movie or just because you were featured. Rock on grrls!
Mesdames : Bravo !
L7 was really an eye opener to me, back in my pre teens. They taught me that there was more than the easy listening radio hits, and difinitly had a huge impact on my love for grrrl rock and help me into realizing that I didn't had to go with the norms. Even when I was struggling with depression, L7 helped me to get out my angers and rage. How can you not love them? Xx
I loved L7 from the day my ex brought your first album from a USA trip. The next two albums floored me and were in constant play on my walkman - i can't tell of a single event but your Energy and your attitude carried me through numerous Times when my spirits were low due to job problems or bad vibes in my relationship. L7 is definitely one of my favorite bands of all times, the music talks to my soul and lifts me up every time i listen. It was hard seeing the band desintegrate and for years i had been looking for signs of a possible reformation. It's fantastic to have you back! And not meaning to put down Gail or Janis, L7 for me are Suzi, Donita, Jennifer and Dee. Long Live L7, thank you for many hours of pleasure and uplifting!
I became a fan in the 90’s. The first L7 song I heard was ‘Shove’ and I was hooked. Badass ladies taking no crap. When Rock for Choice came around, it opened my eyes to how we, specifically women, can band together for a common good and how much can be accomplished. I think we definitely need more of that right now.
This is my favorite music video in God knows how long.
L7 ROCKS!!! 🤘
I struggled with severe depression when I was younger. I will never forget the first time I heard Shitlist while watching Natural Born Killers. Juliette Lewis was such and incredibly strong female lead and the music of L7 was so inspiring. Listening to women like them helped me get through those difficult years and was a catalyst to me writing and performing music, which was incredibly cathartic. A huge thank you to L7 for teaching me what powerful women can accomplish.
Thank You... This song remember me the Grunge years....¡Stills Alive!
This was a fantastic single. It´s so goddamn sad that they had come back after so much time, making fabulous shows, as good as the old ones, and then had to stop the machinery. We are waiting for you, girls!.
