They do awesome without a bass player. No bass bands got more numerous later. People talk about The Doors having no bass but the organ player played keyboard bass and they got a session bassist for LA Woman. SK started the trend for the White Stripes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the others.
"Alternative music is what you get as an alternative to actually learning how to play and sing." - Greg Bouchard. Ya, ok buddy. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever read.
@ greg bouchard - you obviously missed the whole understanding of punk music and its related genres,not about perfect voices .notes etc - it's about rebellion against all that was and is the 'norm'.ordinary people who can't spell, sing or play having a go and having fun.why listen or even comment when you with the superior intellect should know that your opinion is a pointless exercise ! Oh wait a minute it's important to you that we know your opinion.your obviously a frustrated man
Everybody occasionally makes picking and singing errors too. Even the Beatles. Yet great music (that this band produced) still transcends your small-minded commentary. If it isn't to your taste, that's fine, but criticizing minor points of technique on a crappy home-grade video cam is like criticizing a youtube comment for poor spelling. Grow the frack up. (And yeah, that spelling error was intentional.)
first you talk about a lack of music knowledge, then show that you know nothing about any of the band members. 'person on the right'?? secondly, choosing to employ various picking methods(sometimes she only picks down, but if you actually watched instead of going off your arrogantly pre-formed assumptions you'd see she can upstroke just as well) is representative of more advanced music application, as opposed to repeating the same exact motions endlessly. most of all the music -feels-, and thats
wow.. someone is stuck in their musical era.. there are amazing examples of musical growth in complexity every year since the early 80's.. try turning off your radio and look for music online..
Generally when composing supercilious and derogatory internet posts impugning the intelligence of all those whose opinions diverge from yours, Greg Bouchard perhaps you should re-read and revise. Everyone occasionally needs are editor to eliminate spelling errors and logical inconsistencies so: "You are prooving (proving) that evolution is real except you are taking us back to the caves with your willful ignorance." Irony alone does not make your argument more coherent or less reactionary.
I'm listening to this because a new friend of mine says she really likes them. I dig the songs they choose to cover, not much into their original stuff. It's simple but not the catchy simple I enjoy. But really, these cats don't seem very professional or up to par for their fan list. For White Rabbit, for example, they could've done a lot better. With their volume and other failures, they just seemed to play it to get through it. I'm going to check out some more stuff, maybe I've been misled, but it feels like they are just a girl band and play off of that, and don't really persue to be great at what they are doing.
+Derrick Cisneros just a girl band the way um the beatles are just a boy band or the stones are just a boy band? what does that possibly mean. i don't know how to negotiate with morons, girl band liking or boy band liking. maybe your problem is you don't like rock and roll?
I am amazed how you simply ignore reality.I said Dylan's singing voice sucks like the "singin" in this video. Then you insult Dylan with no talent examples of covers.I meant artists like Hendrix, the Byrds, Joe Cocker, Johnny Cash even Nora Jones all whom sing on pitch with no auto tune crap. Axl Rose can't sing any better than Dylan. SL-Kny will be forgotten. Here is a suggestion for you; stop trying to attack me and instead try and bring reality centered, concrete examples to rebut my claims.
Here we go again. Intelligence is not connected to grammar,syntax and spelling; Einstein couldn't spell for shirt! ha ha. Moreover, I constantly find internet posers who can't actually refute the facts and truth always resort to grammar attacks in a last ditch effort to win back some ground. No one of course is perfect; i.e. "Everyone occasionally needs are editor to eliminate spelling errors." dude wrong verb tense! Finally, you forgot to prove me wrong, therefore, this bands still sucks.
My name is Greg not buddy, what is yours? Why exactly do you think my observation is stupid? You make no attempt to support your claim, therefore it is ineffective.The players make many mistakes in both instrumental and vocal efforts. Their skill levels are about the same as most beginners and their fans are clearly undiscerning and ignorant about music. I guess it is at least better than dub-step, but not much. Have a listen to the original by Jefferson Airplane. Sincerely, Greg Bouchard
Whoa! I never heard S-K do this Jefferson Airplane classic before! It’s absolutely phenomenal!!
I love those jokes Janet told at the beginning, especially the second one! That’s a hoot!
Corrine Tucker has one of the best voice's in rock...ever
wcarloswilliams seriously? Have you ever heard Grace sing this?
Not many groups have the ... (what can I say?) to cover White Rabbit. Nice job girls. Show off your fearlessness.
Holy shit! I was at this show!
Awsome cover!
ive herd rthe audio for this bt thanx for posting the vid.
Yes!!
fucking yeah!
They do awesome without a bass player. No bass bands got more numerous later. People talk about The Doors having no bass but the organ player played keyboard bass and they got a session bassist for LA Woman. SK started the trend for the White Stripes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the others.
AugustusLarch they got session bassists for a lot of songs
They made music. What more do you want?
Does anyone have an mp3 of this, or Fortunate son? I wish they had these on a live album or something more easily accessible.
I never noticed Corrine before because I was always enamored with Carrie. But, now I 'get' Corrine (hope I spelled her right).
Probably the only other voice that can pull this off besides Grace Slick
Too bad the audio quality isn't good....That cover deserved a better rendition.
all that really matters.

Did someone listen the second joke?? I couldn't understand what she said.. this video sound quality is poor. Pls tell me what she said.
Guy > doctor's > saran wrap pants
Doctor takes one look, says 'I can clearly see yr nuts.'
Enjoy that.
sunsofguns "Was pretty sure I ordered that without nuts"
Debating about your personal musical taste is a waste of time, who cares what anyone else thinks is good?
first you talk about a lack of music knowledge, then show that you know nothing about any of the band members.

Sleater-Kinney has made way more important music than Jefferson Airplane/Starship ever did, Greg Douchard. Live musicianship or not.

This band doesn't play "punk", they just play badly.
