Violent Femmes - Add It Up (Live)

[darthmoop]

The bass around 4:40 makes my head explode

[IrishAlways8]

Heard the Femmes 24 years ago while at the beach. Still love them. They sound like a band of the 90s or even newer. Real talent and a distinct sound..thats what makes them still sound awesome.

[badromenful]

I dropped out of school and I think I'm still a turd after a these years.

[antuerius]

Ya, hundreds of trillions of derivatives to add up now.

Reagan, Thatcher, Mulroney. What a sham.

Add it up for sure. Forty years of rip-off.

[duskhusk]

great band!! too bad they are from decades ago .....never heard of em til the 90"s.....now the femmes are one of favorites!!!

[jonnydkh]

Dat bass...

[normanren]

Brian ritchie

[normanren]

Brian ritchie de los mejores bajistas que existen en el mundo, pero de los q menos toman en cuenta en las listas de los mejores bajistas!! Es una grandisima vergaaa!

[chindsca]

I remember the first time I heard this song, around 1987.....looks like they were around a lot earlier than that. Great tune!

[Rockguitarhero462]

hahahah. the drummer's so bad ass. when they offered him a seat he said "Fuck you!"

[underscoreisnotvalid]

gotta love the bass playing.

[ralphredimix]

I can proudly say I passed this tape around in freshman year of high school in 93 and we were all still young and discovering this awesome sound even though it was already ten years old

[lumyingluo]

nice^^

[LaSexorcisto3]

Brian Ritchie is the man

[surferskaterforlife]

anyone that hits the cymbal with a brush is a certified badass

[cobaingirl420]

needs a kiss...

[Khronepsis5050]

I will stop and i will start!

[dryter]

Brian Ritchie is an unstoppable force of nature.

[PlanB198]

brian ritchie is one of my All time favorite bass player...u simply dont hear many rock musicians play his style....playing an ernie ball bass has a big part to do with it...they sound amazing...not many people play them or could even attempt to

[psyborg303]

[silverlight68]

Christ! 26 years ago and it still kicks ass! Wicked!!!

[brandonclayflores]

damn brian ritchie

[frankbough1955]

everyone else likes them so i better had tto.....Never heard of CONSENSUS TRANCE  dummies

[Ieatbabyseals]

@frankbough1955

Yes we know what consensus trance is. Go away if you don't like the femmes. Why would you even watch the video if you don't like their music?

[JDrockerDUDE]

dude he has a strat with a tele neck. cool.

[mrjon75]

awesome bass guitar playing.

[MISTIKOROCK]

indeed, i was looking that too, he plays really good! and crazy too :)

[chucke1963]

awesome bass reminds me of Les Claypool kinda.

[JDrockerDUDE]

sounds exactly like the studio recording version

[1gomezjuan1]

thats how good they are...

[JDrockerDUDE]

god he is fucked up

[giupio88]

goddamn cool!

[ironysteeth]

THese guys are very talented. Just makes me wonder if theyouwoulda came out in the 90's would they made it bigger? Just seems like These guys were trailblazers for the alt rock scene. If the trail woulda been there already, theyd gone lightyears further.

Anyway Dont know quite where to post this, but take it as a request for whoever reads it. Make "add it up" as an AMV for the new "Hellsing Ultimate OAV" thats out. There's a few lines in this song that really paint scenes from the amv.

[Templehatchet]

I am impressed.

[julesickdrums]

84? lol i thought they were from 92 or later

[jarbo26]

Even earlier try like 80 or 81

[shroomser1]

Nah....ALL the best music and greatest bands came outta the 80s!!Like all the great punk and all that!!From the late 70s to the early 80s

[JohnnySwitchblade]

@shroomser1 I agree. My favorite period of music is from the late 70s through the 80s. 90s had some really good indie/alternative groups but then hip-hop and pop took over and it all went to shit.

[Ieatbabyseals]

81 actually

They formed a band in 81

Go buy a femmes album they're awesome

[MsDonkeydong]

ok...i heard this song 10 years ago on the radio (driver of the car would'nt let me hear the rest of it) and always wondered what the name was.....ADD IT UP!!!

[Lamurias]

not that hard to guess. i guess the obvious guesses would be "add it up" and "day after day"

[123yanicko]

AllApologiesMike what you said about the drummer mad me smile

[crustyratrod]

Had drinks with them at the moore theatre in Seattle.VERY COOL GUYS!

[yeahsee33]

Damn awesome band.

[buffsanta]

sweet lucky

[smashbeans]

awsome

[ZeLilFish]

Awesome performance...

[plmooney]

Beyond what is good and what is great. FUCKING BEYOND!!!

[AllApologiesMike]

I don't know what it is about the drummer that reminds me of Ted Bundy.

[iowafilmdude22]

one of the most distinct voices i've ever heard.

[TDreamer99]

I agree

[bilbomarks]

His voice has always reminded me of Paulie Shore.

[pepe6589]

Wow.. that cant be good.

[bilbomarks]

I KNOW... but I did enjoy a couple Paulie Shore movies. So it's not totally negative.

[tkdgrl88]

I find that not only offensive but also accurate.

[jrad0915]

mo ma ma ma ma ma mo ma mum, have you kept your eyes, your eyes on your son, we know you got problems your not the only one, when your sugar left you left you on the run.... haha love this song

[gtrgurl1]

TIGHT...THATS ALL I CAN SAY!!!

[facethruster138]

this songs for me

[herrogelo2]

the rhythm reminds me of nowhere fast by the smiths

[Hodassa]

of the memories, they're such a good group!

[myrandumbstuff]

I love how pronounced the bass is in this mix.

[wombo2]

i really love this version. i like how fast it is played.

[iEngoyPie]

Love this song :D
