this was one of those songs I remembered hearing only a couple of times and never being able to find. really takes me back. The emotion within the song cuts to the bone even now. Wish the kids today were doing ths kind of thing today. Everyone is trying to be AFI/ Fallout Boy/ Avenged sevenfold. Pretty, Androdgenous, lame little careerists with the right moves & nothing to say. But they're pretty & have GREAT hair.
Do you have any idea how long I've been searching for this song? THANK YOU! The only reference to it on Google is a cover version that's credited to some pop-punk band called "Chevelle" and their version is not half as good as this.
Sadly, it's not available on either iTunes or Lala.... someone message me if you have any idea where I can find this song.
@Daz902 That makes me worry that Google amd you said Chevelle is a pop-punk band. If I'm not mistaken, I'm sure bands like New Found Glory have never been on Octane like Chevelle has. They're hard-rock. Try listening to "Sleep Walking Elite" or "Sleep Apnea" by Chevelle and you will fully understand that they are NOT punk-pop.
Can you add a tag to this please? The song is called Basket Case in Europe - I guess it was changed in the USA because it probably clashed with Green day's basket Case which may have been out in that year
this video sold me on the band when i was a teenager in middle america. i had to special order the second album, though, coz it didn't get US distribution. it was worth it. got the 7" and all the CD eps. Boogie-woogie was my first. fucking loved them. i actually ended up buying the CDs again a few years ago coz i missed hearing them so much. thanks for putting this up.
it was a bizarre moment, sooo much hard touring and a chance to do our 2nd video. shot in a day mostly spent in melt water. and those 2 little cartoon shits just turned us off, saying "dumb ass students" (with Butthead lisp). prime time MTV 'n all. sometimes life is harsher than ketamine... x x
I love this song. I prefer Compulsion's version, but only because it's close to my heart. I appreciate that Chevelle is paying homage to these awesome, underrated musicians.
I honestly thought that Pinfield would do something great with 101.9. I thought he would ass some flavor from 120 mins but he hasent done that. REAL SHAME!
uh...they do? Its part of covering a song and releasing it on a recorded format. If its recorded, the original artist will get a percentage of the sales based on a license that, say...Chevelle, obtained. Chevelle released the song on a limited amount of discs, so of those sold that have Delivery on it, Chevelle's label Epic (Sony/BMG), would pay the members of compulsion a fee based on a neogotiated percentage. Oh, and your a douchebag should have been you're, they DO teach that in school
first off im not writing a school paper - posting on here is similar to texting so go fuck yourself - chevelle and all those radio friendly alternative bands fucking suck anyways - go listen to hardcore and listen music that matters not some lame dbags that are dressed to "look rock and roll" and just care about selling albums
so you're all pissed just because chevelle covered a song? a bunch of bands cover songs... and it's not like these bands haven't made any original stuff
:D I saw COMPULSION in 1995 at LORIENT ( Brittany , FRANCE) with THE LEVELLERS ! It was a great show ! I bought their album called "Hi-Fi" (1995) And i would like to watch numbers of vidoes on youtube ! :o)
I remember when I first got this album. I think I played it so much it got all messed up(it was a tape, yeah tape...lol). Now I cant find it anywhere. I was shocked to find this song on here. If you have a web site let me know.
believe what you want to believe about me. for the record i am the drummer in this vid, with the pigtails. i co-wrote this song. why the fuck would any-one pretend to be in this band is beyond me.........it's as simple as that. i'm bored of you now, you're dismissed.
i see, it boils down to sales....most rubbish sells more than Chevelle, sales don't mean shit. still no idea who you are or what you have done. must be because you've not done anything? between the confused bad language and preppy shorthand you seem quite geeky....imfao indeed....twat.
really? you're doing the same as me? wow! i headlined a festival in Italy in July with my current project and release a cd or so every year. how about you then... for the record you kept swearing way before i retaliated you fuckwit.
LOL you've got me stumped, I thought Casserole was the first one, thats the one I have autographed. That's why I asked, not because I didn't believe you, I just had a nagging doubt. What was on the 1st ep then? I don't have that one I don't think?
fine, from this i can take it that you've never done anything of note. also i would guess you to be in your teens, living at home, told to tidy your room frequently? sound advice if you ask me. feel free to reply if you have anything other than "faggot, bitch, gay etc" to say. otherwise just fuck off and get a life....
This is my all time favorite song and video from the '90's. Remins me of Killing Joke on a melodic day. I was a fan of thrash metal and then I saw this video on 120 Minutes on mTV and it was the most powerful thing I had seen by 1994. Blew my mind then, and now it is a bit dated, but still amazing.This song's sheer power and sheer sonic appeal is fantastic. This is a very under-rated band and the song is sick. Can you say Killing Joke, I can.
ah, so eloquent. i see that the lyric, borrowing the story of Moses and superimposing it onto a modern pregnancy, is too much for you to take in. just another of your shortcomings? rofl indeed... while we're here, can you tell me how many times you've played in front of an audience? i toured for over 10 years, frequently playing in front of 10.000 plus (true that this adds up to less than 0.1% of the world). i have a hunch though you only play yourself.....
hang on, you're not Sugarlumpz...you know that suave rock god from yesteryore.... i am he!
you are VenaSera69, a sad little wannabee who thinks that insulting others is a way to ingratiate him/her-self with the band Chevelle.
i know there are a lot of words there you may need to look up in a dictionary (before you ask, there are no pictures of dicks in a dictionary. if you want to see a dick just look in the mirror).
glad you found your "voice" again. keep on typing. hugs!
hmmm, i just read somewhere that being copied like this is similar to that gay foot tapping thing some men do in public conveniences. look, i'm not that type of guy! stop "tapping" your "foot"........
ooh, get you. you and your pillow talk, that's hot. we have soooo much in common. still think you should change your username to the one you suggested. it's snappy, does the job, pretty much sums you up.
listen, why on earth have you named yourself after this band's album? are you in the band? or are you a groupie? or just a sad little prick? or all of these.....?
ok, chevelle do a fine cover but it is a more mechanical rendition. where compulsion do muscular, flying-by-the-seats-of-your-pants-punk rock, chevelle do polished, technical, rock work-out.
there's room for both, but i think you could be a bit more informed about what it takes to write great music.
btw your potty mouth is becoming pretty dull, lighten up pal...
Chevelle's singer is a whiner. The Compulsion dude has personality and rasp. Regardless of whether they're more popular than Chevelle (popularity doesn't necessarily equal talent), my opinion remains that chevelle sucked the life out of this song and made it polished and limp. Sorry.
Calm yourself. My saying mister Chevelle is a whiner is not a fact, it's an opinion. He whines when he sings. That's what my opinion. Get the difference?
You can poll all the people you want about who's version is "better". I really don't care.
If you like Chevelle, then good for you. I don't. If you don't agree with me and call me a fuckin' retard because of it, then that shows me more about how you think than anything else could.
now, now, easy tiger. i do like the chevelle version, but "better" doesn't come into it. a cover remains just, that a cover. i would agree that it is the best thing chevelle have done to date though..........
I love this version as well as Chevelle's version. They both kick ass!
