I don't normally say this, but the interviewer here is absolutely awesome. You can tell he's a genuine fan. So well spoken, he doesn't dominate the interview, holy crap. Can he be cloned?
Great interview, Louise and Nina. Your interviews are as interesting as your music. Thanks for writing such great songs and playing them with such energy. You guys are the best! Louise, there is a guy on TH-cam that teaches a demo of your guitar solo from Volcano Girls. I don’t know if it’s exactly how you play it but it’s such a fantastic solo. It’s technical and flashy but also melodic and fits the music so well. Amazing! Ghost Notes is every bit as good as your earlier material. Fantastic album.
Sadly I didn't get to experience them in their day, but I've been a huge fan since 2004. I've considered Veruca Salt to be my favorite band for quite some time. I love the way they think and approach music. There's just an undeniable chemistry between Nina & Louise, even after all these years. I love them and this interview. Thanks for uploading.
Loving Veruca Salt even more as Covid19 Pandemic has ravaged the world here over the past year. Many of the small venues and clubs are shut their doors and closed for good which is so difficult and sad to see. Praying that they will be able to stay open for when this plague is gone. Music is what moves us and Veruca Salt in the 90s was like Zeppelin, The Cars, The Who were to me in the late 70s... Just an incredible journey. I still recall many late nights driving back from Chicago to Grand Rapids, MI after amazing shows. Got to see them in GR a few times as well. Such fond memories!
I don’t know much about this band. I think I have a CD I bought through on of those music clubs but I don’t remember much about it. Yet I found this interview riveting. Makes me want to go listen to the band. Think I will
HEY NINA! Please know that Ghost Notes brings me such joy. As a story of friendship rebuilt it gives me such hope. Best concept album since Quadrophenia!
Brilliant band. Saw them many times back in Chicago before they blew up and local dives (Lounge Ax/Empty Bottle/Phyllis') and knew then loosely from the scene back then. So glad to see them back together and making stellar music still.
I have the album, it’s fantastic. So happy to see that the girls look wonderful. Special place in this world for a female rockers. These two are right up there with the Wilson sisters from heart. Absolute legends.
I really wanna hear my favorite VS songs from Resolver played by the original lineup. I mean, that album is SOLID and hearing Nina with Louise singing Born Entertainer and Officially Dead would be a dream come true for me.
@@stevenspain9379 Dont say never...in fact there is an interview online where Nina says there are a handful of songs from that album she loves and would absolutely play live. So...we shall see
They were in the right place at the right time. Grunge era kids, moving at the speed of light only to get caught in the moment. Jealousy, anxiety and the promise from management for the lucrative solo career but ultimately destruction . Almost all bands seem to go thru this, but they luckily found each other again and realized they are good solo but great together.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this video, it’s an awesome interview, always loved Veruca Salt and love their last album, I wish they would’ve kept making more music. Thank you so much for -ousting this video!
thanks for sharing so much of your lives wit us as well as your music. love to have Jim and Steve back too- to change with change is the changeless state.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this interview. I loved Veruca Salt before the divorce, The two albums with out Nina just weren’t the same. Together they’re golden, I loved that there was no attitude from either. These ladies are awesome and such a great role model for female bands today.
I am trying to start a band this year and I have been going back to my generation 90s alternative and discovered veruca salt about a week ago. I love Louise and Nina. I feel alot of inspiration musically from vs. Nina if you are reading this, ignore the internet trolls. The only people saying negative things still live with their parents and don't have a job
Had no idea that they had families, I always thought they were in a relationship and they broke up and that's why the band broke up. I only vaguely remember Seether. But Volcano Girls blew me away and I bought 8 Arms immediately back in the day. I also vaguely remember Nina Gordon "Tonight and the Rest of my Life."
@Travis Besst Thicc? I thought that was U.S slang for fat. Calling someone thick in the UK means they're stupid! 😂 It's an abbreviation of thick as pig shit, or the polite version: thick as two short planks. 😂😂😂
I am kinda lost here because at the beginning of this interview they mentioned that they had not been together for 18 years... since something like 1997.. or about the time of "Eight arms to hold you"...which would place "Ghost Notes" release around 2015? yet... the album "Resolver"... was released around 2000 and their 4th album "Veruca Salt IV"... was released around 2006... so in actuality... it has only been 9 years between the 4th and 5th album release... what am I missing?..
First of all, GREAT podcast. Easily the best musical one I've heard. The "musical battle lines" thing is hilarious. I listen to Metallica, Behemoth, Mariah Carey, Veruca Salt, Bosstones, Stryper, Marty Robbins, AC/DC, Delfonics, Bobby Darin, Buddy Guy, Jackson 5, Huey Lewis, Nile, Ratt, No Doubt, Lamb of God . . . Like, pretty much anything that just appeals to me, regardless of genre or production. I just don't get the "musical battle lines" thing on a fundamental level.
The 90s fun days, fun days...those who lived through it know. The world really has changed some for good, some not so much. 2020 there really are good bands out there you just have to look besides that it's there.
ok now I see... after the release of " Eight arms to hold you"... members started leaving the band .. leaving... Louise Post to carry on with a new line up... and so the subsequent next 2 albums.. are not the same members as the first 2 albums with the exception of Louise Post... but what is going on now?.. it's been 8 years since the release of Ghost Notes. .. is Veruca Salt... done for good now?..
Nina & Louise had a falling out that effectively led to the band breaking up. Louise reformed VS with an entirely different line up in the early 2000s. This iteration of the band released 2 albums - Resolver & IV . They reformed the original line up in 2015, released Ghost notes & toured through 2016. Louise is pretty active on social media. She's got a solo album out soon & is about to tour the US. I believe Nina is also working on solo material. No news on any new VS music at this stage.
@@bellam7359 its so sad... cuz when they work together ..... .and with that original line up.... they are a true powerhouse. ..unstoppable... I'm getting teary eyed already... I miss them and new music from them...
I'm sorry but the issue is that they never wrote relatable, fun or complex songs. There's no long term career or money with doing covers. But there's no easy answers, reality is that it's a tough business.
I was a teenager when I found veruca salt. Thank you ladies 💗✨
I don't normally say this, but the interviewer here is absolutely awesome. You can tell he's a genuine fan. So well spoken, he doesn't dominate the interview, holy crap. Can he be cloned?
thedarkener his pants are too short!😡
si pero... 04:09 que idiota el entrevistador, que importa lo que comieron... ravioles comieron pelotudo.... what a ashoul
Agreed.
@@robinhoodwasasocialist.1401 Had a flood in the studio before the interview. But seriously, he's a great interviewer!
Less of an interview and more of a conversation. Very, very good and warm and respectful.
Does anyone else love their speaking voices as much as their singing? Could listen to them talk all day (and sing, obviously)
right, there is nothing annoying about them when they talk, they are both very smart people you can tell.
@@joejones9520 Is it me or is intelligence common in these kind of “Indie”, for lack of a better word, type of bands?
They will always be my first loves in music. Such an important band to me, and they always will be.
Yes, I was really impressed with the interviewer as well. He knew his Veruca Salt!

This is my first time seeing this and it makes me so happy to see them so happy with each other.
I love Veruca Salt so much, I miss the 90's, great ladies

Its 2022 and its still their day to me.

Wow. What a great interview.
Great interview I've watched this like 3 times!!
I really enjoyed Veruca Salt after Nina left and I enjoyed Nina's solo stuff, but those two together are unstoppable. It's undeniable.
"Oh God, I can't wait to talk about the 90s" 🤣

2 of my most favorite women in rock, all time!

Not gonna happen
this would be sooooo awesome. especially yeah man, that would be so amazing to hear with the original group
@@stevenspain9379 Dont say never...in fact there is an interview online where Nina says there are a handful of songs from that album she loves and would absolutely play live. So...we shall see
Oh shit, I've had them confused for over twenty years. So it was Nina who waved at me!
I love this ladies! I love to rock their songs on guitar and bass
They were in the right place at the right time. Grunge era kids, moving at the speed of light only to get caught in the moment.

The Seether's Louise!!
Great interview with two beautiful women.
Now i'm always gonna sing that during game of thrones while i play my air violin

The best interview ever done with them yes - their coolness shows thru always - good on many levels
Great new album, songs and production are excellent! These ladies might be the most articulate musicians I’ve ever heard. And I’m a musician.
Now that’s a good interviewer! He actually asks real and thought provoking questions...
Wow what a great interview
Nina & Louise aged VERY well.
Love Louise! Both super talented....especially together
At 12:31 brilliant observation on the dynamic of the individual artist needing to subsume their voice within the collective voice of the band.
I can’t help laughing at the lyrics that Louise made up for the Game of Thrones theme, lol.

they look the same as in 1996, maybe even better.
That’s nice to say, but false. They’re still attractive women for sure.
There is the chat show of the band abroad! It sounds great.
SO RIGHT IT IS HARD TO FIND GOOD ROCK MUSIC THESE DAYS
Tuk is a very small Inuit community up in the far north in Canada. It was a MuchMusic(canadas MTV) along with molson or labatts sponsoured event.
❤❤
splendid
Their comments on Chicago scene dynamics were interesting. Scenesters never win, because if you do, you're kicked out of the club.
44:45 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 VS' version of Game Of Thrones theme song. Best for last!!!!!
Wow, Louise is even hotter than she was 18 years ago
TheOnemanmoshpit hell yes she is a babe
I don't know about that, but she looks good for her age definitely.
Welllllllll...
Tho, she still has my heart after all of these years.
Yes, her breast have grown.

how come Steve and Jim are never part of the interview?
Possibly by choice but I can't say that for sure.
Always cool as fuck always will be

Seether is a complex song.
What the heck are you on about? They had/ have amazing songs of their own.
