@@brich2929 dude that’s so cool absolutely one of my favorite bands ! Add me on IG @dustinprude17 I’m about to start showing all my rad gear over the next month!
Oh man my band covered this back in the day and it was so much fun. Some metalheads were coming in to practice after us, and they heard the riff from the waiting room, and said to me “shit is that your riff?” I was like “no I wish! It belongs to a girl” 🤟
When the double bass drums kicked in near the end, that's when I knew IV was going to be a kick ass album. Thank you all for keeping the Veruca Salt groove going!
What do you mean? They're very much active. The original line-up of Veruca Salt (Nina Gordon , Louise Post, Jim Shapiro and Steve Lack) came back a good 5 years ago and in 2015 they released a new album (Ghost Notes) and have been touring on a fairly regular basis ever since. Unless you mean the line-up from this video then yes, that was short lived (and kicked ass indeed).
Kellii Scott is an absolute beast on the drums. It's funny, I started as a Nina fan, but shifted to Louise by Eight Arms To Hold You and have loved everything Louise has done with VS since. The new album with the original four is going to kick ass.
Long time VS fan...since Volcano girls came out and then backtracked....I'm more than tickled that they got back together.. With that said I've always had a thing for this era...NICOLE...Damn...
I love a shirtless drummer so much!! Lol This isn't my favourite song from the album, it had to grow on me. However, this is my favorite performance of So Weird. Honestly, I prefer the music rather than the lyrics but overall it's fitting.
Are there more live videos of Veruca Salt back in the days? I need more rocking girls... Clearly, I am very happy that Veruca Salt are back together and they are super musicians as ever, but I more go for the hard stuff... Btw what did Nina do while she wasnt in Veruca Salt, a solo project? I need to see... those rocking ladies inspire me
+Anna Guggenberger Hard to find anything live that sounds as good as this. There's a concert in Germany where the crowd is lame af. Nina did solo stuff, hit the search bar!
No, there arent any VS live videos on TH-cam. Super weird. Also NO ONE knows what Nina did after leaving. Cant find a thing when doing a google search for her. Super weird huh?
@@scottt5484After leaving Veruca Salt Nina released an album called tonight and the rest of my life, then there was a scrapped album that I can't remember the name of, something with moonbeams in the title, and she released a second album called Bleeding Heart Graffiti, I think I have the order right on which album was scrapped, they're all available on TH-cam, including the shelved album (I think) Louise just released a solo album called Sleepwalker also, while Veruca Salt is in hiatus, as far as I know they haven't broken up again, wish they'd make another album soon though
loved the album and louise was really trying to push it forward.. but I always felt a ping of sorrow for her during this time.. I'm so glad they patched up their differences and came out with new stuff, which I love.. but this album was like ACDC kicking out songs without Angus.. a band missing one is.. well just not the same
Continuing on Lloyd Hartley's point about heavy rock...I had started a band just a year before this, with my best friend from high school (and a powerhouse female vocalist when she felt like it). We weren't prolific enough (and never properly escaped the burbs, which was the fatal flaw) but we lasted a decade and wrote some truly great stuff (and once we got the powerhouse rhythm section we needed, we grew into a frenetically fantastic live band). That was all before - get this - imploding over a drummer we both liked. Not saying AT ALL all that it's even analogous to the mighty VS (I don't know personal details - and they ain't my fuckin business! - besides, neither of us got anywhere close to getting with the drummer, so it was all just resentment that kept on growing for the final three years until we burned each other out...just a really pitiful way to go out, both musically and friendship-wise). But ya know...we actually used to call each other "Nina!" (or Neen, lol) all the time, based on how Louise screams her name on the choruses of "I'm Taking Europe With Me'. "Bite your tongue, you fucking bastard!!!"
Anyhow I do have a point, I promise! When this record came out, we were sharing a practice space with a metal band. We were covering this song (which we went on to do at shows, and it actually came out really f'in good) when they arrived to practice one night. As we were packing up one guy said to me 'holy shit, is that your riff???'...I was like 'nah, I wish!' Credit must and shall be given to the females who have the ability to do heavy just as well (and often better) than a bunch of dudes (alternative OR metal!) A song that's actually way heavier than that is "Innocent"...it's Pixies/Nirvana-level vocal shredding with a purpose, and easily in my top 10 (5 actually) of Louise's songs. Between the huge lurching chord progression and Louise's powder keg vocals (which blow up in the choruses and then go red alert on that bridge) it just rules. That's the only other VS song we attempted, and though we couldn't quite get the musical part 100% together (and therefore only played it at practice), getting to scream that vocal once a week - particularly being a male! - was some of the most fun (and exhaustion!) I've ever had musically. The only other song that challenged my smoke-covered lungs as much was our cover of "Wattershed" (which weird-ass rhythm changes made it a total blast to sing and play guitar on at shows). And those were the only two songs I ever sang lead on. This alt-rock thing keeps coming full-circle, man. And now I have to make room on Louise songs list for her really amazing new single called (ironically enough!) "Guilty"! You gotta love it. And though I haven't talked to my musical partner in nearly seven years, I know we both will always thank Nina and Louise for being massive and righteous musical influences on us. That's the REAL point of this whole overlong frickin diatribe, thx for reading!
Yeah, Nicole Fiorentino figured out she was gay and quit the Smashing Pumpkins right around the same time in 2011 or 2012. She still is touring though...now with a band called Night Terrors of 1927 or something close to that and she has also been working with her partner's band (they are married), The Cold and Lovely. I absolutely love Nicole Fiorentino and Brandi Carlile, too. But, they now "play for the other team" or something like that.
These two woman couldn’t be any more perfected to me as if I drew them up myself.. Louise brashness and gorgeous eyes..Nina feminine and innocent.. wow I’m at a lost for words..
I can't believe this song did so poorly and was looked down upon by so-called music critics. This and All Hail Me are probably my favorites from Veruca Salt. However, I am biased as I want just one thing in this world....to be married to Louise Post. Is that too much to ask? I'll leave my wife and girlfriend if that is what it takes, too. Oops....I said that out loud again, didn't I?
@@whitedeion598 you sure? I know Louise dated Dave G...but i didnt think he was the actual reason. Between them. Everlong is about Louise from what ive been hearing from alot of sources.
It is a type of wart, not foot exclusive but say veruca to a dermatologist and they'll cringe. Hence why the author of Charlie and the chocolate factory named that nasty girl Veruca.
Louse has proved she can do it with or with out verucasalt is from charlie and the chocolate factory.been a fan since i heard that bass and the guitar string squeeks which was by accident.
CajaSiamesa I'm pretty sure zendaddy621 is talking about the girl next to Louise who is obviously a girl but not Nina. This is before the original band got back together.
Nicole was in this before she went on to smashing pumpkins. This line up of Veruca Salt is the next best thing to the original. I really did enjoy Louise and Nicole together.

Met Louise after a gig one night. I got two hugs! Sweet human being.
I guess you can sell one of them on ebay, to me maybe 🤓.
Veruca salt Is so Awesome. They are Kicked Ass. I LOVED IT.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that this is not Veruca Salt???
My fav veruca salt song ever
I was able to buy that Marshall cab Stephen is using here. Louise signed it in finger paint. Probably the coolest piece of gear I own.
how did you manage that? Regale us!
@@brich2929 I worked with her guitar tech and we have stayed good buddies and when Louise was cleaning out a storage unit I got the option to buy it !
@@ThisisDustin Sweet! I got to interview Nina in 1997 during the Eight Arms to Hold You tour.
@@brich2929 dude that’s so cool absolutely one of my favorite bands ! Add me on IG @dustinprude17 I’m about to start showing all my rad gear over the next month!
so glad nina and louise are back together. i have all of the VS albums but the ones where nina and louise have their harmonies is what makes VS.
But thats a bass player and looks like Lyn-Z (Lindsay Wray) not Nina Gordon. Either way love it
@@JumpinJakalopes i was talking in general. i know thats not nina. dont even remember posting this. LOL.
@miked4309 lol its cool
I'm such a junkie for heavy, and Veruca Salt never fails to satisfy!
God yes!
you forget how great they sound if you don't listen to them.. Incredible
I dont think ive ever not listened to them
@@avadowns1573 I was thinking that I have been on a 28-year VS high now.
i can’t find this on spotify anymore and i’m devastated
I hope that the drummer gets to play with whom ever he wants. He is awesome.
He has since returned to the band Failure, where he began. They're excellent.
I think it’s Kelli Scott from Failure & A Perfect Circle….
thanks drummer's mom
He is my dad.
@@schloour dads hot .
Thanks to VEVO for adding this. I love you, Louise! Always will! You absolutely jam!!!
Oh man my band covered this back in the day and it was so much fun. Some metalheads were coming in to practice after us, and they heard the riff from the waiting room, and said to me “shit is that your riff?” I was like “no I wish! It belongs to a girl” 🤟
This is a damn good song!
Christ, Veruca Salt. Please record this again with the real Veruca Salt and RELEASE IT ON AN EP. PLEASE!
When the double bass drums kicked in near the end, that's when I knew IV was going to be a kick ass album. Thank you all for keeping the Veruca Salt groove going!
Came here to see the exceptional great drummer. Fabulous!
No sabia que tenian un directo,tan aplastante!!!woww 🙌🏻❤️🔥
Gee they still sound tight after all these years, what a crackin song.
This band kicks ass like it’s nobody’s business. It’s too bad that they’re not around anymore. I miss listening to them.
What do you mean? They're very much active. The original line-up of Veruca Salt (Nina Gordon

Kick ass Louise song.

+introvertia1 As it does!
cant wait for it
@@iamjoker5253 Eghm, it was released in 2015.
Is not about the one And other ........... is about be the best rock band !
Which yeah it did and still does 8 years later
What a fucking great song!
Isn't that Nicole Fiorentino (The Smashing Pumpkins' bassist) as substitute for Nina Gordon?
This song and album kick serious ass.
Love this band :)
Fire Song & Fire Performance🔥🔥😝🎸🎸
My favorite Veruca Salt song ever
You gals rock!!!!!!
Catchy and true song !
"White noise from weird boys." Great lyrics!
Long time VS fan...since Volcano girls came out and then backtracked....I'm more than tickled that they got back together.. With that said I've always had a thing for this era...NICOLE...Damn...

DAMN!!! MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yes!
Baffling why this got posted now but I'm glad to get to see it. Would love to hear the original lineup tackle this one.
where is veruca salt now??? I love and worship this band
Love you so much it’s so weird
Am I the only Saltine who wants to see them re-release this in their next album or EP played by the orginial 4?
That is not the brother on the drums.? He beats those bongos like everyone owes him 2 dollars more!! Excellent!!
Nah. Louise was the only original member at that time (mid 2000's) 🙂
amo
Killer tune
Love this!!!!!!
Finally something of decent quality from "IV"
+Joe Hartman Yes!
I love You♥
Still gets me back on occasion, needs her musical partner.
Idole
Love, love , love that bad girl voice ❤
I love it when Louise screams.
I think Veruca Salt with Bjork and Kathleen Hannah should form a super punk collab.

Nina is back in the band, this performance was filmed in 2008. :)
It's confusing because they just released the video. Thanks for the clarification.
