In a radio interview in Australia, Louise explained the song was about her vile and uncontrollable temper. She would scream the most vicious abuse at her family and friends when she had one of these massive tantrums, saying things she would feel terrible about later. She, her family and her closest friends saw her as a completely different person when she was in this state, so she tended to think of her temper in the third person, someone she called The Seether. Louise explained that she could feel this temper coming on, but there was nothing she could do nothing about it, gentle or harsh: 'Keep her on a short leash', 'rock her in my cradle', 'knock her out', 'cram her back in my mouth'. The Seether of course 'is not born like other girls' because she comes from within and Loiuse 'knows how to conceive her' because The Seether is part of her. As an extension,
I have a similar problem I think it's a personality disorder. It's not treatable with medication like other mental issues as caused by lots of trauma, bullying etc.
The 90ties definitetly were real awesome but they SUCKED compared to the 80ties. The 80ties was the decade that ruled with all the awesome crossover and metal-punk bands.
Someday, the incredible story of Chicago music in the modern era, from Wazmo Nariz, Naked Raygun, Beardicus Enormous, Ministry, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins, Handsome Family, Scissor Girls & the whole Wax Trax League will be celebrated under a microscope. Bank on it. So grateful to have enjoyed it all in a very, very long series of moments.
Big Black was another monumental one. I'm still so shocked that Steve died. Heart attack... I like to imagine he was mowing his lawn at the time, and as it was happening, he squawked at his mower: "go fuck mud" ....it may sound morbid now, but I think Steve would have found it amusing. I've embraced his death, though. I don't think he's the type of guy who would want people to worship his corpse. I'm lucky and very happy looking back to have gotten to see both Big Black and Shellac. I even consider NIN somewhat of a Chicago band. They may have their roots in Clevo, but they kind of broke out through being a part of the Chicago scene. There's an amazing story that's on here about how they had super-8 footage go up in the air and fly all the way to some old man's farm, as they had been using balloons tied to the cameras to get angled shots from above and stuff- an old technique for sure! And one of the strings or cords just ripped, and off it went. They had some footage on it, and the farmer who found it thought it was a snuff film and it wound up in Chicago's jurisdiction when the el stop it was filmed on- the stairs at it, in particular- were identified. Someone finally realized it was an outtake from the music video, but CPD wasted a lot of time trying to figure out who Trent Reznor (covered in corn syrup or corn starch) was, and if he was alive. Heh... NIN plays Chicago quite a bit and it's nice that they honor us with that much. Chicago gave way to some great industrial as a whole, Ministry being another example, aforementioned Big Black... But the overall amount of stuff out of Chicago/IL over time, even some smaller bands... so many that meant so much. I recall seeing so many Chicago bands at a punk/hardcore venue called Fireside Bowl when it was operating mainly as a concert venue fulltime. Charles Bronson.... Dekalb, IL, and one of the best power violence bands ever with a legendary drummer, Ebro Virumbales... possibly the finest drummer I've ever heard for that genre of music, and he branched out and played on a lot of albums as a result. Also drummer for a pretty famous Chicago punk band Los Crudos. Marc McCoy did some other shit too. Raygun, the Effigies... I've seen both a bunch.... I love Naked Raygun. Then of course Pegboy. The Didjits... more recent times, The Lawrence Arms have made a name for themselves and put out some steady pop punk with a Replacements-esque edge to the sound and the writing, always clever and also riddled with random Simpsons references (I dunno). Before they formed, The Broadways were fun, and Slapstick was pretty kool, even if Ska isn't my big thing... I had a second or two. The Poster Children were an IL band, I believe from Carbondale, maybe Champaign, not 100% not... they've gone through a million drummers but the core is good, and they were playing shows last year (or maybe were in the middle of their "final" tour, which is never final..) ... I saw them in May or June, I think. They've aged well. Local H has made some good music (and some bad, but they were a band I saw so many times live I lost track). Urge Overkill is another good one,, especially the earlier stuff, although the radio hits weren't bad. I snuck in and saw them New Years 2010 or 2011 I think.... And shit... can't forget the best one of them all: Wesley Willis. Chicago and IL will always be my roots, even if I want to get out of here more than ever right now. Sadly, the music scene is pretty boring at the moment and nothing new or special is happening lately. I dunno if the pandemic caused more people to go into solo work, but bands just aren't popping up or playing the same venues often enough to get to know them anymore, even. I know that my band broke up in part due to the pandemic and scheduling issues.... I kind of think a lot of bands went on temporary hiatus and then just said fuck it, life took over. I dunno, but I miss the days of people in pits and dancing at shows, just energy as a whole.... There is a serious lack of that right now. People seem afraid to stand next to anybody they don't know. It's different. But Chicago has pumped out some great musicians and bands over time, that's for sure.
I was privileged to be in the audience for this, they played around 4pm on the first day of the festival and for the rest of the weekend no-one bettered them. The harmonies of Nina and Louise made me a fan for life.
Women bands rocked it in the 90s... Veruca Salt, Hole, Garbage, Fiona Apple, Juliana Hatfield, Cranberries, Letters to Cleo, Lucius Jackson. Miss those days
Nah, they really didn't. The playing and songwriting just wasn't up to scratch. The Japanese women of today are playing and writing at a far higher level than those you named, and some are up there with the best of the male bands, as Riot Grrrl should have been if they hadn't been so focused on riding on the 'we're women with guitars' gimmick.
Skunk Anansie, The Cardigans, No Doubt, Melissa Auf der Maur, Alanis Morissette - yup, the 90s werde definitely a great time for female alt-rock. We definitely need more of this music today.
They were so amazing live. Saw them 3 times in the mid nineties between Chicago & Milwaukee. One show I saw them open for PJ Harvey. THAT was Incredible.
I'm pretty sure there are still a lot of rock bands out there in 2019. Miles Kane, The Black Keys, Greta Van Fleet, Alexandra Savior, Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys, and Badflower are all great modern rock bands. I think my favorite right now would be The Beaches because they kinda remind me of Veruca Salt. They're a great, all female, pure 'rock n' roll' rock band. So, I think it's safe to say that rock is still alive and kicking.
The Lsdays hey man I gotta admit that this is the first time I actually clicked on someone's band plug comment and actually really fuckin dug their music. I wish you guys all the luck in the world and hope you get the recognition you deserve
Theses two girls rocked! First, they had a solid drummer who pounded out the steady beat. Then they harmonized well together! I miss this kind of band.
When Nina screams at the open, I get chills. One of the best opens in all of Rock and roll! Nina and Louise are 2 of the greatest female musicians to come out of the 90s. We need more ladies like them in the industry right now
This is what I tell kids to watch when they ask about the 90’s. Even though this performance was 95 (the beginning of the end of the best part of the 90’s), it really conveys the rawness and carefree nature of a good time in the 90’s. Also the 90’s had A LOT of kickass bands led by topnotch lady vocals. Loved it, still do!
I imagine she overslept and didn't have time to change no more. Also explaines why she enters and still has to tune her guitar after the song has already started.
Jeroen: I think your theory is good. Another commenter said they attended this show and VS performed at 4pm. Say VS left from Chicago: UK is 6 hours ahead. For Louise, it would have been 10am so she was likely sleepy!
OK, I didn’t know. I thought it was all one song. Anyhow, I never really knew that much about this band, until a friend of mine mentioned them one day at work. I started looking through TH-cam years later, and found this video. I was immediately impressed with their raw, energetic sound. It got me excited! In fact, I never get tired of listening to theIr music. It’s so much better than the garbage they make nowadays.
One of the all time greatest live performances ever. The Drummer and Bass lay down the groove and attitude, and the ladies show us some serious rocking and jamming like they are alone in a garage.
Jesus wept! I remember hearing Seether on the radio for the first time in 94 and it stopped me in my tracks. Not having a clue who they were I set out to find that band and never looked back. One of the few bands I've purchased an album off the strength of one song, so underrated and still listen to them to this very day and nearly 30 years on still as fresh and powerful as ever.
I remember seeing them on this tour at The Fillmore in SF. My friend and I were right up front, on Nina's side of the stage. This song was pandemonium from the first note -- the floor was literally shaking. Good times. :-)
It’s so true. People now just talk and talk about what they are and what it means and how you’re evil if you don’t get it or agree. Back then we just were.
:) Taped this on VHS when I was 15. I played it to death and drove me family crazy. Jumping around in my bedroom with my shitty electric guitar, playing along, couldn't have been happier. :D
Absolutely brilliant, this will never age. I’m 54 now and when I bought the CD all I cared about was enjoying my uni life and this music was a huge part of it. Live on
those people were my Everything when i was 15-16 and then they split ! One of the horrors i survived in life. I did see them life, went all on my own to a festival, watched them, called mum to get me back :D I'm still not very social. But music, and the 90's.. i love you
Man I've always loved this band, they're all talented artists individually and collectively BUT there's just something about Nina Gordon-she's such a cool chick. She inspired me to pick up guitar and learn (I sucked at first at guitar but now can shred Alter Bridge and Queensryche solos-defintely FAR from where I started). Nina just has Super CLEAR vocals (go listen again if you like, to me it's remarkable), tight guitar chops, creative and heart felt lyrics and riffs. Such a brilliant musician, always been my 90's Chicago alt rock hero (I like Veruca better than the Pumpkins and I'm a drop tuned Deftones West Coast metal style of headbanger primarily-Nina just had a way to transcend all the cliches and barriers and pull me into her sound-she's remarkable).
Ah the 90s..when everyone was attractive, had sick style, and the music was cutting edge. We’ll never get this back..truly a magical time and all we can do now is celebrate it.
Living in the moment. Look at all that raw energy and 0 cell phones trying to record it all. Hell man, get me a time machine to go back and experience one more concert like that.
People might as well just stay home and watch a TH-cam video on their phones. I don't get it. Going to see Halestorm in a month and I won't be watching it through my phone. My eyes have hi-def!
The convenience of cellphones is highly overrated! Live in the moment, don't just record it! I had a great time in the 80s and 90s. I think our sense of community as teens and 20's were alot more intense with friends putting out fanzines and going to shows to see bands many of whom we had friends who were members of said bands. We had a really great scene. I haven't experienced anything like it since even though I've looked for it.
@@killyourtelevision999 No. He doesn't. You need to reexamine the meaning of the word "point" if you think a reductivist political statement in response to a joke can qualify. You can't make a "point" about wind power in response to a joke about wind-breaking.
If time travel will ever become possibel, I will so go back to the 80s and 90s to relive that era and enjoy all the great music and all the other fun things to do back then. The 90s will forever be the greatest decade for music ever, with the 80s and early to mid-2000s easily coming in as second and third. Sad to see how it all went downhill in the past 15 years though.
i still listen to veruca salt almost every day. they're on my pandora station i listen to at work. they go really well with slayer, and the plasmatics.
90's were raw. That's what made them great. Most of the music had a touch of grunge to it. For me it startled in the mid seventies. Since mid 2005 it has all but ended. It seems to be very sad as to where music is going now. We all love the classics. That is the soundtrack of our lives. The new music of today is governed by what the youth of today want. Times change and we can't control it. Long live rock and roll.
There were still many great rock bands to emerge around or even way after 2005: Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, We Are Scientists, Kings of Leon, Royal Blood, Milky Chance, Viola Beach, to name just some. It wasn't until the early to mid-2010s that rock completely vanished from the mainstream and edm and hiphop fully took over. And I say mainstream because in the underground rock is still alive and well.
The drummer broke his snare head. Guitar solo speeds the song up. Little boob falls out at the end. Fantastic rock n roll. Even though everyone said "rocknrolll" sarcastically back then, it was a great time for it.
you can see it he blows the snare head at 3:26 .big hole.what does nina yell a the beginning sounds like bow the almost forgets to hit the stompbox.other wise this blew my head off with a shotgunn volume 75%.
1995 was a great year for playing stripped down rock n roll. I was 26 playing in punk rock bands in Dallas Texas. Still playing today,but now I'm a Geezer. Wouldn't change my 20s for the world. Lucky to live life to the fullest back then.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Hey man, autotune wasn't released until 1997 which is after this video and most of the influential bands albums of the 90's. No need to be a dick.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Autotune was invented in '97. And yes, I well aware of the 70's wah-wah pedals and I think Peter Frampton was wildly over-rated. There is a huge difference between having talent and using technology as a crutch. For example: Nine Inch Nails uses a lot of tech in their act but the band members are individually incredibly skilled and Reznor writes insightful, raw, and edgy lyrics that have stood the test for 20 years. You will not be hearing anyone say that about Selena Gomez or Kesha.
Carl Hicks Jr they dont even use autotune. believe me i dont listen to top 40 shlock at all, i’d much prefer nin any day. its just a dumb and boomery thing to say
Autotune was 80's, ever since pop was invented, bland soulless tripe has been produced. Remove your wannabe lennon glasses and listen to the rubbish produced through the years. Ever wondered why there are so many unsold records in vinyl stores? Yep they made tons of rubbish.
I'm in my 60's. This is the only kind of contemporary music of the 1990's that I much like. The punk and punkish stuff may not have been as complex as the best music from the 1960's and early 70's, but it was wonderfully vigorous and honest when it was like this!
I have watched this so many times, and will watch it many more. I love the raw talent here. No producers telling them what to wear. No producers telling them what to say. The only production (which is spot on) is the video switcher and the amazing sound board recorder.
@@imvandenh My crush and still is is (The late great) Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, I adore him even now, they were my favorite bands and Alice N Chains. I'm also a fan of Metallica, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, In living Colour, Black Flag, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Jon Mayer.
Last good year 1995, 1996 started the begin of the end with the mobile phone and internet crazyness. Thank god I remember the time without both of them. Many youngsters don't, feel sorry for them.
I seen them on tour back in 1995 chicago riviera theater. Seeing this performance again after all these years reminds me why I've never fallen out of love with Veruca Salt.❤🤘
Takes me back to high school. Hate to be nostalgic. But man the 90s.... I’m grateful I came of age in that decade. We grew up on the fruits of labour of all the bands that came before, unsung heroes which I discovered later on. Very lucky indeed.
I was born in 1970. Was good being in your 20´s in the 1990´s
68....was in a tent at the back
Me too and now we are turning 50!!!
I'm just a year behind you. Early to mid 90s was such a great time for music.

It's just a scratch. Merely a flesh wound. He's had worse.
The raw power of this performance is extraordinary. Rock music will never die, and this footage is proof. Veruca Salt rules.

One of the all time greatest live performances ever. The Drummer and Bass lay down the groove and attitude, and the ladies show us some serious rocking and jamming like they are alone in a garage.
Did you notice that the drummer bashed a hole right through his snare head on the penultimate chorus? Now that's Rock & Roll!😂
Jesus wept! I remember hearing Seether on the radio for the first time in 94 and it stopped me in my tracks. Not having a clue who they were I set out to find that band and never looked back. One of the few bands I've purchased an album off the strength of one song, so underrated and still listen to them to this very day and nearly 30 years on still as fresh and powerful as ever.
I remember seeing them on this tour at The Fillmore in SF. My friend and I were right up front, on Nina's side of the stage. This song was pandemonium from the first note -- the floor was literally shaking. Good times. :-)
I'm 50 today, ...still like this song...
66 and love it
Me too. 50 is not old. Lol
Im 49 and miss the 90s such a goofy time my fav album was alice in chains dirt
I can't stop watching this video... what a band, what a band
Same here lol miss this era 😢
This is definitely one of the band’s most powerful performances! It just grabs you from the start, and never lets you go. I just love it!
Just can't get enough of this performance!
Oh, the 90's... love that decade and these kind of women, so free and no bullshit. thank you Veruca Salt, it's glad to have you back together!!!
Gabriel Polak Mory lush sneaker pimps elastica gotta agree top notch stuff girly shit kicks ass
@Goggle products You have a lot to say. You have a lot of nothing to say.
It’s so true. People now just talk and talk about what they are and what it means and how you’re evil if you don’t get it or agree. Back then we just were.

:) Taped this on VHS when I was 15. I played it to death and drove me family crazy. Jumping around in my bedroom with my shitty electric guitar, playing along, couldn't have been happier. :D
Patches O'Hoolahan . Same here, taped the lot. 😎😎
Same here!!! and im form Santiago, Chile.. MTV rocked at that time!! sweet 15.... now just have to work , family ,bla bla bla :(
Lovin babes life these..*^ jand do again and again !#!
yeah I remember recording this on VHS at the time, & playing it to death lol
Patches O'Hoolahan Nice quality, must have used 2 hour speed mode!
This band are awesome.
I was a grunge girl who missed these ladies.
Fuckin awesome .
Not having mobile phones makes all the difference for crowd attention and participation! I miss the 90’s gigs❤️
Agreed they should ban them from live gigs of any size. And none of those huge flags and banners too.
yeah, crowd, pay attention! participate!
Not having mobile phones made people write better songs in the first place.
Absolutely brilliant, this will never age. I’m 54 now and when I bought the CD all I cared about was enjoying my uni life and this music was a huge part of it. Live on
Those two voices belong together. Glad they finally got back together. Everything is as it should be in the world again.
I was 18 and this song was all over the radio and RAGE. One of the best years of reckless independence I’ve ever had.
Rolled off the couch and right on the stage 🫤
those people were my Everything when i was 15-16 and then they split ! One of the horrors i survived in life. I did see them life, went all on my own to a festival, watched them, called mum to get me back :D I'm still not very social. But music, and the 90's.. i love you
Wow memories i played this over and over again back awhile lol TH-cam you are my therapy
Man I've always loved this band, they're all talented artists individually and collectively BUT there's just something about Nina Gordon-she's such a cool chick. She inspired me to pick up guitar and learn (I sucked at first at guitar but now can shred Alter Bridge and Queensryche solos-defintely FAR from where I started). Nina just has Super CLEAR vocals (go listen again if you like, to me it's remarkable), tight guitar chops, creative and heart felt lyrics and riffs. Such a brilliant musician, always been my 90's Chicago alt rock hero (I like Veruca better than the Pumpkins and I'm a drop tuned Deftones West Coast metal style of headbanger primarily-Nina just had a way to transcend all the cliches and barriers and pull me into her sound-she's remarkable).
I like those monster rawk tight guitar hooks
This is when a band isn’t just going through the motions but truly rocking out.
I have been going through the mot..ns...Bu I Remember when...
Ah the 90s..when everyone was attractive, had sick style, and the music was cutting edge. We’ll never get this back..truly a magical time and all we can do now is celebrate it.
I'm glad i was a teenager in the 90's!
Did anybody think it was so hot how Louise was turning her guitar and then started to sing. Such great memories of the '90s such a good band
Everything that Louise does is hot.
Everyone who was there would be in their 40s now, stressin Covid, saying WTF take me back.
Not all of us are stressing about this virus.
I'm not stressin but yeah I miss the 90s
True I'm 49 now
This had to be the best song of the entire festival!
I wasn't a huge fan of Veruca Salt but happened to see them twice as opening acts. I was a fan after that.
Real drummer..... torn snare head, constant time keeper and powerful right foot..... brilliant.
Living in the moment. Look at all that raw energy and 0 cell phones trying to record it all. Hell man, get me a time machine to go back and experience one more concert like that.
People might as well just stay home and watch a TH-cam video on their phones. I don't get it. Going to see Halestorm in a month and I won't be watching it through my phone. My eyes have hi-def!
The convenience of cellphones is highly overrated! Live in the moment, don't just record it! I had a great time in the 80s and 90s. I think our sense of community as teens and 20's were alot more intense with friends putting out fanzines and going to shows to see bands many of whom we had friends who were members of said bands. We had a really great scene. I haven't experienced anything like it since even though I've looked for it.
I was there!!!!! Simply brill!!! Huzzzah!
By far, one of the catchiest songs of the 90's. I love watching Louise in this video.
Sadly, social distancing prevents us from playing our singer's asses with our guitars in 2020. Sad times we live in.
Statist politicians did that, not a Chinese virus. We cede liberty in exchange for their promise of safety.
@@austinhunt4260 Oh holy fuckballs, get a life. My post was a joke.

@@killyourtelevision999 No. He doesn't. You need to reexamine the meaning of the word "point" if you think a reductivist political statement in response to a joke can qualify.
You can't make a "point" about wind power in response to a joke about wind-breaking.
@@josephtelegen8754 Beautifully said
I 've watched it dozens of time ..
The 90's. Been reminiscing listening to the best music of all time. I would love to live that decade again.
If time travel will ever become possibel, I will so go back to the 80s and 90s to relive that era and enjoy all the great music and all the other fun things to do back then. The 90s will forever be the greatest decade for music ever, with the 80s and early to mid-2000s easily coming in as second and third. Sad to see how it all went downhill in the past 15 years though.
Can't believe this was almost 20years ago.. Where does time go?
Yeah, but you know what? We lived through all that. :)
The girls are playing in Sydney in October - I wonder if they've still got it?
Chris Johns Chris I saw them last night in nyc. They still got it! Great Show!
Jeremy Watts In the past.
It moves faster and faster...
...this is the best music clip on you tube ...
i still listen to veruca salt almost every day. they're on my pandora station i listen to at work. they go really well with slayer, and the plasmatics.
90's were raw. That's what made them great. Most of the music had a touch of grunge to it. For me it startled in the mid seventies. Since mid 2005 it has all but ended. It seems to be very sad as to where music is going now. We all love the classics. That is the soundtrack of our lives. The new music of today is governed by what the youth of today want. Times change and we can't control it. Long live rock and roll.
There were still many great rock bands to emerge around or even way after 2005: Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, We Are Scientists, Kings of Leon, Royal Blood, Milky Chance, Viola Beach, to name just some. It wasn't until the early to mid-2010s that rock completely vanished from the mainstream and edm and hiphop fully took over. And I say mainstream because in the underground rock is still alive and well.
The last 14 seconds of this vid is PRICELESS !!!!!!
I'm watching it over and over
One of my favorite videos on TH-cam! When they hit that first chord and the crowd explodes!
By far the best Alternative girl band. Every time I hear this it brings me back to the 90's :).
The drummer broke his snare head. Guitar solo speeds the song up. Little boob falls out at the end. Fantastic rock n roll. Even though everyone said "rocknrolll" sarcastically back then, it was a great time for it.
✌
And the last decade with any semblance of it 6/
I love that the drummer's giving it so much he annihilates his snare drum.
dudstep yea hes a real dynamo lol
And he's got a leppard tshirt on,respect.
Drummer is Nina's half brother or stepbrother, not sure which but it's one of those two, Jim Shapiro.
you can see it he blows the snare head at 3:26 .big hole.what does nina yell a the beginning sounds like bow the almost forgets to hit the stompbox.other wise this blew my head off with a shotgunn volume 75%.
@@mihills4168 I think she was saying "yeah"
Damn I just discovered this song and it ROCKS
1995 was a great year for playing stripped down rock n roll. I was 26 playing in punk rock bands in Dallas Texas. Still playing today,but now I'm a Geezer. Wouldn't change my 20s for the world. Lucky to live life to the fullest back then.
Ah the 90's... you had to be there... no autotune, no I Heart Radio blandness, bands were expected to be talented and actually have something to say.
autotune was invented in the 90s dipshit. and similar vocal effects existed before
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Hey man, autotune wasn't released until 1997 which is after this video and most of the influential bands albums of the 90's. No need to be a dick.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 Autotune was invented in '97. And yes, I well aware of the 70's wah-wah pedals and I think Peter Frampton was wildly over-rated. There is a huge difference between having talent and using technology as a crutch.
For example: Nine Inch Nails uses a lot of tech in their act but the band members are individually incredibly skilled and Reznor writes insightful, raw, and edgy lyrics that have stood the test for 20 years.
You will not be hearing anyone say that about Selena Gomez or Kesha.
Carl Hicks Jr they dont even use autotune. believe me i dont listen to top 40 shlock at all, i’d much prefer nin any day. its just a dumb and boomery thing to say
Autotune was 80's, ever since pop was invented, bland soulless tripe has been produced. Remove your wannabe lennon glasses and listen to the rubbish produced through the years. Ever wondered why there are so many unsold records in vinyl stores? Yep they made tons of rubbish.
Glastonbury back when it was proper, great set girls.
will never stop coming back to this
I'm in my 60's. This is the only kind of contemporary music of the 1990's that I much like. The punk and punkish stuff may not have been as complex as the best music from the 1960's and early 70's, but it was wonderfully vigorous and honest when it was like this!
these girls really rocked it out...!!!
Incredible...there will never be a time like this again.
Thank god.
I have watched this so many times, and will watch it many more. I love the raw talent here. No producers telling them what to wear. No producers telling them what to say. The only production (which is spot on) is the video switcher and the amazing sound board recorder.
What does Louise say at the end? "Rock 'n roll...." AND WHAT? Thanks.
Man, that show looks fun! No cell phones blocking the view- instead people just pogoing and moshing! I would totally have loved to have been there!
This has to be my favorite video on TH-cam. I was lucky to see them twice live, and Nina live after they split. I love Veruca Salt.
The song's great, the rawness of this performance is everything!
Kids now a day's dont have a clue how much fun the grunge 90s was! Now that was concert!👌😎👍
THE 90'S ARE UNDEFEATED!!! 🤘🏼🇺🇲
Please, 90's has nothing over the 80's
@@philsalvage LOL OK
@@SOUTHEASTLA562 what’s the 90’s claim to fame musically anyways? Pearl Jam? Lmao cmon man
80’s gave you everything from Metallica to Beastie Boys.
one of the coolest bands that came out of the 90's
awesome awesome awesome!
girl power freakin rocks!
thanks chickies
One great record, one so-so, the rest pretty bad. They almost fall into one-hit wonder status.
great performance!
those chicks ROCK. The 80's and 90's were great times in Rock & Roll.
Life was fuckin great in the 90s. 🤙🇨🇦
This still my shit! 1995- 15 years old I remember it like yesterday!
Same here boss! I was 16 in 95. Mad crush on these girls, especially Louise!
@@imvandenh My crush and still is is (The late great) Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, I adore him even now, they were my favorite bands and Alice N Chains. I'm also a fan of Metallica, Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, In living Colour, Black Flag, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Jon Mayer.
Last good year 1995, 1996 started the begin of the end with the mobile phone and internet crazyness. Thank god I remember the time without both of them. Many youngsters don't, feel sorry for them.
These girls are as badass as it gets. Tremendous talent.
I fucking love 90's! Started listen to Metal Music in '94 when I was 10 years old, this brings so much good feelings!
This performance freakin' ROCKS!!!! Gotta miss the 90s
she's 53 now. WOW. your youth goes FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I was there, visceral experience. Shocks me at 46 to view it on TH-cam, truly surreal.
I seen them on tour back in 1995 chicago riviera theater. Seeing this performance again after all these years reminds me why I've never fallen out of love with Veruca Salt.❤🤘
Best punk song of the 90s, simply put, period, end of sentence.
And Black Lace👍📼📺🐋
lol theres a lot of competition
Takes me back to high school. Hate to be nostalgic. But man the 90s.... I’m grateful I came of age in that decade. We grew up on the fruits of labour of all the bands that came before, unsung heroes which I discovered later on. Very lucky indeed.
I've started to watch this at least once a day (sometimes more). I find it makes my life so much better. Thank you, Veruca Salt. 😊
same! ♥
Wow.. the energy is through the nonexistent roof!
No cell phones in the crowd. Everyones attention was on this show. Wish things could be like this now
This is so 90s! And awesome! When bands really "perform".
My love for this band has never been low, this was an incredible year for Glastonbury.
Wish I could have experienced shows like this back then. Shows now a days aren’t the same
