@@XxIfOnlySophiexX Oh it's been so long! The name rings a bell and I think I saw him live. I first saw Melissa's band play on April 13th, 2004 in London, England at the Mean Fiddler and they blew me away. I saw them again in August 2004 at the Astoria which was the venue upstairs from the Mean Fiddler (the Mean Fiddler was the basement of the Astoria). They were so so good! No disrespect to the touring members who came later, but this line up with your dad in was SO amazing. They had such an intense energy and really kicked all kinds of ass. Does your dad still play live music? You should be proud of him :)
@@stublad Well, after touring with Melissa, my parents started a band called Solare, which they were in for about 5 years. After that, my parents decided that they didn't want to do music as a profession anymore, and had me. So no, my dad doesn't play live music anymore, but still loves doing it for fun. I am very proud that he did so much as a musician.
@@XxIfOnlySophiexX That's so awesome to hear! I'm totally going to check out Solare now on TH-cam and give them a listen. It's amazing to be able to look back and have done so much as a musician. Most people can't say they played in a successful band and on TV too! From what I remember, your dad rocked in Auf der Maur and it was a pleasure to see him play. Let him know that there are fans of the band from that time period who totally loved him and the whole live show. I still remember it fondly (it was actually my first ever live concert).
Saw her twice back then in Paris (Elysée Montmartre, and opening A perfect Circle at Le Zénith). I also met her at a radio station, waiting outside, she was super nice and radiate something mystic. Really talented, sensitive and lovely. And incredibly beautiful!
I had visited Montreal in June/July of 2004 for a business trip, and bought a couple of souvenir shirts there. Later that year, I saw her at the State Theater (now misnamed The Fillmore) in Detroit. I wore one to the show, and I also swiped one of her posters off the wall of the lobby. She had finished her opening set and was meeting fans out in the lobby. She was so nice to talk to. She signed my shirt “I (heart) Montreal”, and also my stolen poster. She looks 8 feet tall on stage with her boots and bass, but I was surprised she was barely 5 feet tall in person. Very sweet person.
Theyre really good. I remember this album being sort of promoted, but... kinda feel like she didnt get enough recognition as a solo artist. Maybe i just wasnt paying attention though
I do recall this song in 2004 and I liked it, even thought the video was cool. I think you're right because after this song I can't recall ever really hearing about her. Kind of sad, I think, she's pretty cool!
I met her here in Portland, OR at Dante's (Is there a video?) in 2004! 😍She signed my cover and there's a pic of us somewhere. I then passed her a CD of my band. Listened or not, she's really cool. 😎
Hi, there isn't a video but there is a full audio recording of the show! I don't have it uploaded and I don't have access to it right now though. It's an amazing sounding show, if a little bassy! (but that's part of the charm).
This band she put together for her album was INCREDIBLE, I saw them live a couple times. Got handed a backstage pass in NYC because I was headbanging. She is the nicest and coolest, she shared her Rolling Rock with me… though James Iha was pretty weird…he’s a legend so it’s fine, but it was like meeting Prince or something.😐
@@ModeratelyAmused Even though Melissa Auf der Maur was born and raised in Montreal, she is not French Canadian. Melissa's mother, Linda Gaboriau (born Johnson), is an American who was born and raised in Boston. She moved to Montreal to study French literature at McGill University. From then on, she has permanently resided in Montreal and became a prolific translator. Her father, Nick Auf der Maur, was an English Canadian born and raised in Montreal to Swiss German immigrant parents. Notwithstanding, Nick spoke French, Linda speaks French, and Melissa speaks French too; however, it's a second language for them. Besides, Melissa has three passports: Canadian, American, and Swiss. ethnicelebs.com/melissa-auf-der-maur
Kim Pryor is the woman on guitar, the guy in the baseball cap is Steve Durand who knew Melissa for a long time and was in the band Tinker with her where she debuted Real A Lie if I remember rightly and I forget the name of the final guitar player sadly but I think his name is Andrew? I'm likely wrong though. It's been a while.
She is a helluva bass player and has a great voice for backing vocals. Really was a big part of Hole's success. Wish she would have stuck with them but I'm guessing the off stage antics of Courtney Love might have been too much to deal with. But Love should be in the discussion for most underrated song writers of the 90s.
This song is extremely well written. Pure power and atmosphere. As a vocalist herself, honestly? - not that convincing to me. I don't like writing that, because I like her so much. I get the impression that she is not eccentric enough to achieve long-term success as the front woman of her own band. Like she's not feeling comfortable being in the spotlight...* Might be wrong. Very interesting personality.
As far as I know, the first album she did that this is from was all stuff she had banked and worked on over a few years with other people but her second album was more her and had more of a theme. She was very confident when I saw her live on the tour this video is from but I think she came into her own more on her second album tour because it was more intimate so I think you're right about the spotlight thing. She did all those shows in the 90's with Hole and Smashing Pumpkins in huge arenas and festivals but she wasn't the one in the spotlight there. There's a really good interview with her somewhere on TH-cam where she talks about some of this stuff.
@@stublad Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. It's very interesting reading from another person's perspective who knows more about the albums background!! I can sound a little harsh sometimes, I know. Anyway I don't mean it any bad at all! That's maybe the German influence on me 😄 who knows..Dear it is so crazy in Berlin at the moment. I live in a district mainly settled by Arabic/North African people and since war started in the middle East there's cops standing in front of the shops and we are going to see Lydia Lunch tonight! It will be exciting!! Have a nice day bro
@@stublad Damn I must have written too much so my text just vanished as I was hopping from one frame to the other - hummm. I said thank you, it is very interesting, reading from another person's perspective. We are going to see Lydia Lunch tonight in Berlin Germany. It's an absolutely obscure time at the moment. I live in an mainly Arabic settled district of Berlin and since war in the Middle East, they were rioting against the oppression of the Muslim people...there's cops just all over the place. So it's gonna be an exciting night.
My dad is the one with the red guitar. I’m so proud!!
Is your dad Andrew??
@@stublad no, my dad is Josh. He joined the band later on, so it's possible that you don't know him.

Yo. What’s up my guy? Here too.
@@johnhildebrandt9762 Hey, still listening to Melissa's music...so do comrades at work EVERY day ...best regards from West-Germany !!
🙌
I thought I would be the only one 😅
Me❤
She's so awesome, I loved her in the pumpkins
I love her in the hole
Very Sexy female Bassist 🎵🎸🤩

Of course she nice. She is after all Canadian

@@milkbone302006 oh shut up! Lmao!
Nothing sounds like THREE SGs on one stage.
What. Like a distorted mess of shit? Well they nailed that
RIGHT!!!!!!!
If a guitar has the same pickups and strings (and scale length) it sounds the same as any other.
And Precision bass played WITH A PICK.
What a SLOPPY MESS.
@@JimBob-vb8oz i eat distorted messes of shit like this for breakfast!
I have a feeling this was louder than a typical Tonight Show audience could handle.
LOL
I was 13 when this came out. It sure brings back memories
She’s incredible!
Omg, you listen to Melissa too? That's awesome! ❤️
@@ninetiesmilk she’s so cool!
One of the great female bass players, my favorite, there is a lot of Lemmy in the way she plays the bass.
This is a great rocking album. Plus I just love Melissa since she was in Hole. She is beautiful redhead, my kryptonite
Courtney love it's her mutant son I mean Daughter really good entertainment????Deaf
@@cynthianovoselsky3592 what? Do not understand your meaning.
As a vocalist she was superb backing Courtney Love. Excellent bassist. I liked this group and she really is a looker!
Nothing beats Melissa...❤

Portland used to be cool?
I wonder if she takes it in the rear? I guarantee you that she swallows.
Melissa is perfect in every way
EXELENTE!!....PENA QUE A GRAVAÇÃO , ESTA BAIXA!!...
When the Tonight Show had actual music, and a host.
She's really amazing.
Jay Leno now his classic cars garage. Love this too 👍🤗
super!!
Perfect
Que lenha! ️🔥
She is certainly much better than Hole ever were.

She is so hot.. i think she was the soul in hole band..
Female bass players are hot. And talented? Redhead? Trifecta.
Double Down…

Check out Coal Chamber.
Damn she got lucky with those initials.
Высокая рыжуха! ❤🤗
What an incredible pair of viking legs.
Know something the rest of us don't? Her and both her parents are French-Canadian. Looks more Irish than anything else.
@@ModeratelyAmused I was just fantasizing. My education on white women comes from the Netflix hit series Vikings.

Her voice is just average.
dudes are really into SGs!

Does anyone know the three guitar players names?

Love Melissa!
vocals a bit thin. ironically she could've used some of that high falsetto backup vocal she brought to hole
is that Atom Willard on drums?
No, it should be Julien Blais who played on the Auf der Maur album tour from 2003-2005.
3 guitars with everything SG 😂😂😂
3 SG's, are you serious?
2024 ?
Pancada da boa na pinha
Hole needs to be reunited
No.
@@MothGirl007 yes
💚🇧🇷🤘🏼
She's so hot
Auf der Rawr
I love the record of this, but the live rendition is pretty weak.
Мелисса умничка зря забросила.
Ugggh
Loudest band on the tv show
Пора возвращаться к музлу.
ONE OF THE MOST CUNNINGLY HORROR OF COURTNEY LOVE EHHHH STOP
Looks like Kate Blanchet

Whats with everyone knocking her vocals? She's no Ann Wilson, but most aren't. She's perfectly capable.
@@dirkmcgurkin1272her vocals are fine the people shit don’t have even 1% of her talent lol
The guitar, bass playing and drums are solid... The vocals..... NOT SO MUCH. Great song though
Maybe she had a cold, she does sounds congested.
Какое то вялое исполнение. Не хватает драйва. Вот в клипе всё нормально вышло, а что тут не так? Где эмоции? Где уверенность в себе?
вяло и неуверенно!? ты видимо сравниваешь с другим жанром, металлом каким нибудь?
Can't sing but definitely something to look at. 🔥
Can't write either. The songs are terrible.
First
That's some weak songwriting, hate to say it
Just awful noise..
This is HORRIBLE!
Band is good, vocals are terrible. All in all, just another test tube project.
Yeah, but she takes it in the rear end
Melissa can shuffle my deck clean anytime 😁
I'm pretty sure it means she will punch you. LOL
@@sweiland75 like you would know.
You think she takes it in the rear?
