Nomeansno - Two Lips/Rags & Bones Live and Cuddly 1990

[mrdestructo74]

I had the privilege of seeing nmn at least 10 times in the nineties and every time it was magic . They blew away every band I have ever seen !! When they played there was no hate only a united crowd digging the vibe .just like its supposed to be . Next time the pop through Calgary I'm going for sure!!

[gmj2012]

Punk rock live performance. Love the guitar stuff about 55 seconds in & after. Awesome!

[electrohippy68]

GOOD SHITTZ

[zejel101]

@electrohippy68 what interview with Grohl was that? Although you might not like Grohl's music, he definitely name drops great bands, i.e. Naked Raygun out of Chicago is one of his inspirations. NoMeansNo have rocked for a long time.

[gmj2012]

@zejel101 Are you talking Dave Grohl? The only Grohl I know (hey I am a poet & didn't know it, lol). I want to see ANY thing Grohl related too. :)

[settlestone]

this is almost my era.. and I had no clue about these guys until today.. dave grohl interview (who i don't really like's music but think he's a creative guy) had an interview where he stated these guys were the best band ever.. I attest.. this is pretty good shit.

[deadelvis66]

Amazing vid......anyone know where to get a copy of whole gig????

Andrew

[SunsetStarship]

Possibly the hardest punk band ever!

[NefastusJones]

That's a kick-ass bass tone, right there!

[takeadayofff]

The least shredding solo of all time.

[hellooooo000]

OOUUUggGH!

[SvenVanLandeghem]

My personal all time favourite, still is too much after 20 years

[DeedoosMusic]

Love

[TECHNOID69]

this is gonna take 15mins POWWWWWWWWWWW! LOL awesome.

[stubnubs]

zero to sixty in under two seconds...faster than a cts-v, yes one of the best bands ever silly.

[roachrip]

this version of rags n bones is friggin smokin!!!!



[eddibawbag]

two lips ya cunt

[scissorsnip]

Green Day is to punk what McDonalds is to Cuisine.. NMN on the other hand is fucking bacon! Best EVER!

[hexadox]

@scissorsnip

My new favourite quote.

[StartbahnWest]

Love it how they play with the audience.

[DeepFriedBroccoli]

I love how they combine elements of Primus, Led Zeppelin, Green Day, the Pogues, and Dead Kennedys. These guys are revolutionary and more people should listen to them.

[Gilpow]

@DeepFriedBroccoli Primus? Green Day? They are post-NoMeansNo bands!

[theinfectiondrummer]

@Gilpow Didn't primus start in 84? They only released Frizzle Fry in 91 they had it going a long time before then

sorry, NMN and Primus nerd...

I don't really hear any Green Day in NMN to be honest...

[Gilpow]

@theinfectiondrummer Their first album was released in 1990, so only a post-1990 can be influenced by them. I also read that Primus have been influenced by NoMeansNo, but they don't say that in order to seem more original..

[theinfectiondrummer]

@Gilpow ah I knew it was either 91 or 90 and I can see them being influenced by NMN after all they both accent the bass heavily, to put it lightly

[DeepFriedBroccoli]

@Gilpow I am speaking in perspective.

[StartbahnWest]

NMN still amazes me, sadly i never saw NMN with Andy Kerr as part of them.

[shmk1]

@StartbahnWest saw them with both I preferred Andy but they were fucking awesome everytime, saw them about 8 times. Best live band I have ever seen

[putmyguitarawaymummy]

2people did not like this!

[dolphsavage]

Nomeansno always brings the vicious basslines. There are some real grooves there.

[sneegro]

These guys rule.

[MrBaku78]

no means no is the best bend ever , fuck you if dont like it

[godnmyhands]

Fuck Ya!!!! amazing so few people in amurica get this band.. Simply off the charts talent. Thanks!!

[Bigplasticrobot]

Best trio from Canada

[heffay111]

Are they still performing? I loved this band and saw them live multiple times in the late 80's.

[willthebighead]

@heffay111 Yeah, I saw them the other week. I wasn't really impressed with the videos on here of them playing recently, but then when I saw them. Fuck, it had the same energy as this video.

[theinfectiondrummer]

This reminds me of something my father once said...don't worry this will only take 15 minutes.

[SharksInTheGenePool]

Flawless music.

[NOTSOFREEINUSA]

yeah no shit, thats causde they never sold their souls to radioman



[Jonesies4]

LOVE these guys!

[stetinum]

Nomeansno with Andy Kerr was the best band in the universe! "Wrong" "Sex Mad" "Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed" was great fucking albums :)

[stetinum]

Nomeansno with Andy Kerr was the best band in the universe! "Wrong" "Sex Mad" "Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed" was great fucking albums :)

[pinkpamelove]

NMN... DEFINITELY the best band ever!

[toyshirt]

S U P E R

[KamehamehaXII]

да тут и правда кончить можно, пока песню сыграешь

заводит, заводит))))

[jerryskid1]

I remember seeing them on tour with D.O.A. Great show!!

[Jungleheathen]

Canadia's finest eh'xport.

[Brambleiah]

Rad. I'm going to go see them right now at Dante's in Portland, OR!

[bent4269]

I saw these guys in Denver a few years ago. Some of the tightest musicians i've ever seen in any genre.

[mmpdumoulin]

I've heard these great songs for a thousand times on the 'Live + Cuddly'-album.

Never knew that there was some video-footage. Andy Kerr was an awesome NoMeansNo-member.

I'd give my left arm to be at this concert or at the show in de Effenaar that year!

Thanks uploader!

[puncheroo]

i want the video from the rest of this performance.  does it exist?

[537map]

Nomeansno...possibly one of the best bands ever?

[Lats73]

@537map for me it is! They where simply awesome! So energetic in concert back in the '90. I got all of they’re albums (vinyl no CDs) and anyone who like these songs should definitively try to get they’re hands on all there albums.

Greatest Canadian Progressive Punk Rock Band! Ever!

[spastic017]

@537map ''Best bands ever'' do not exist.

[zensekai1234]

RRRRRRROCK!

[Idjiit]

Holy shit, I had no idea there was actually video from Live & Cuddly. Thank you! As every one else has said - one of the tightest Live bands on the planet. Was honored to open for them soooo many years ago.

[EssZzz]

Rags and Bones's song structure is amazing - it's like a symphony. And this song's live performance tops everything!

"I am married to a cigarette butt lying in the gutter" YEAH!

[houseofchintz]

The best!

[deadfishfm]

Saw them last night in Rotterdam. The first time during the Wrong tour. That's a lotta years in between and I gotta say: THEY STILL ROCK AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Thnx for the vid.

[vegasmt]

these songs can be sung with two lips two lungs and one tongue.

live and cuddly was the first no means no I bought in like 93 and i've loved them every since

[wolfievt]

I had the chance to see these guys twice live and they blew me away. Yeah!

[Lowebrau]

Nice! Always wanted to see what was going on during that hilarious solo bit in 2 Lips.

[Lowebrau]

Was the camera man a blind chimp?

[jek21]

Andy Kerr rules. Why'd he leave?

[vegasmt]

I had ONE, only 1, chance to see them and the show cancelled, but hey Punk will always live in the heart. Love this Band

[jek21]

They're still touring

[vegasmt]

then again Rags and Bones aint to Fucking bad

[michaelphilipk]

rad

[SharksInTheGenePool]

Rags and Bones is the best song of all time. I don't say that lightly. Sun City Girls, the Melvins...they both have some killer songs. But Rags and Bones is the best of the best.

[illTheraphosastreet]

Nomeansno with Andy was gigantic; but even later on they still rock more then most bands 5/5

[glg20decoy]

One of the few bands still around that rock every time, and just give you a damn good show!

[rp7o333]

%^&* yeah.

[tbzeee]

all over after andy kerr left? i don't think so

[willthebighead]

Dance of the Headless is probably my 2nd favourite NMN after Wrong

[tbzeee]

lost count how many times i've played live & cuddly at deafening volume...to find out that video exists for these performances is blowing my mind...how about a deluxe reissue with dvd? drool...

[chimpdonk]

I'm with you > finding this vid has made my day - DVD reissue pls...

[VeniVidiVicous]

2 great tracks of one brilliant album.

[nimbusthenoodle]

Class!!!

[iWORKsometimes]

NOMEANSO is one of the best that ever graced our planet & anyone who understands them is disturbed and damnd lucky at the same time

[rp7o333]

Victoria had a surprizingly good art scene...NoMeansNo was the f&*7cking greatest punk band of all time and often still is (lucky enuff to live up near Lund).

[dessiebo]

They make it look all so easy. There must be thousands of recordings like these from Vera, Groningen....WHERE are they all! Can someone with sense dig them out and post them! Nomeansno, Victims family, Codeine, Nirvana, Giant Sand, Fugazi to name but a few...

[beeblebronx]

Ich liebe Nomeansno, die sind einzigartig.

Translation: I love Nomeansno, they're exceptional.

[jamieph1970]

All over after Kerr left.

[rp7o333]

No, not really...just different...still two really, really, really good brothers goin there. Check out 'rich guns' if it's still posted somewhere.

[looshkin66]

this tape was stuck in the casset player in my old car......all it played was this album, over and over and over. It was awesome, i cant think of a better unhappy happy accident.

[kollega23]

This is one of the best bands, one of the best live albums, one of the best songs, one of the best whatever - of all time. Thank you.

[Reinisen]

I had NO idea this was filmed or even avaliable... Amazing!!! My favorite band when I was 19-20 years old. Still is... Andy Kerr is the king.

[HamburgerMartyr]

Definitely one of my top five bands of all time. Amazing

[realJG72]

This song has one of the greatest guitar solos ever!!

[Glauny]

live and cuddily!!

[unclekk92]

is he playing a telecaster

[xabier301]

YEAH

[sunilthegreat]

Telecaster Custom. look at the humbucker in the bridge.

[punkyjo8]

Brilliant, inimitable..friggin' bass lines helping the blood boil...

[iamaskingforit]

fucking thank you for posting this

[punkyjo8]

5:23..great change...this band is full of brilliant changes...like Victims Family..and others

[4SRKT]

Nomeansno! The very best thing I ever saw live I reckon. Let's hope they come over to Blighty soon! What a fucking great vid. I listened to Live & Cuddly over and over again when I first got it. Best live album ever.

[jakobdepastoor]

This is Sooooo Fucking Great !!! Energy

[MomSaysImCool]

Heh, I know Tom's brother.

[Evansharma]

This is Dave grohls favorite hardcore band besides Bad brains. Woot Woot go Canada!

[zcsutton]

LIVENCUDDLY you made my night! Challenge, Looking for Postman. Have it?

[Cne48]

anybody knows where to get live and cuddly video?

[oldschoolpunkchris]

can someone please tell me this is on video and how to trade for it i dont have much i just lost most of my collection but have all mdc subhumans crass even woody and hank im in ontario canaduh

[norvy666]

my father was married to my mother....

and i am married to a cigarette.... lying in the gutter!

[Khimkharmakan]

Oh that's tooo baad!

[mortytoad]

Wow. he's wearing a Snakepit t-shirt. The Eugene, Or band. Nice

[xerhoss]

Good shight!

[scoskitz]

One of the best guitar solos ever!! In my top 10!!

[gottsuaho]

agree with nrm333

[WINEMONKEY2]

Poor, Mr. Hanson...he deserves better than to be married to a fgnuick cigarette butt.

Bring Nomeansno back to Northern California!!!

[streetlugist]

i saw this band a few years ago playing a local show.. i bought their their double record set its sweet

[uriel69879]

live and cuddly has been one of my favs for years. to see them in action is fantastic!

[jerryskid1]

Fuckin' tight ass band. NOMEANSNO rule!!

[pyenapple]

Rags & Bones: best ever?

[texasbuddha]

SHEER GENIUS!

[mortarfate]

I went to see them in 91 after buying live n cuddly, saw them at Nottingham Poly with Pitchshifter which was a strange pairing, H from Acid Reign was there and during Rags n Bones had one of those linked arm barn dance moments with him, very silly but loadsa fun, probably the most fun i've had at a gig and i've been to quite a few :)

Not taking anything away from Tom, they've continued to write great material but personally i prefere the Andy Kerr line up.

[laarrr13]

WOW!!! I was there! Recorded in De Effenaar Eindhoven!

[nrm333]

greatest live album ever!

[r2quinn]

live and cuddly is one of my fave live records

[rx2411]

They lost 50 percent in my estimation when Andy Kerr left. The brotherly rhythm section hasn't been equalled in punk rock before or since but Andy was an essential part of that band IMO>

[bandcouver]

I like their later material as well ,but, I can see and hear what you mean. Andy has a new project called Two Pin Din. Vids are here at YouTube.

[theefishlippedone]

I saw em twice that year,incredible,yeah after Mr noneofyourfuckinbusiness left they lost a lot of their sparkle,but they are still NOMEANSNO!

[jamieph1970]

Andy Kerr = Ian Mackaye circa 82.

[jamieph1970]

After Kerr left it was downhill.

[mushroomheadsquish]

after Kerr NMN lost the meaning in their lyrics... that was the key that put them over the top... not that everytihing else back then was brilliant too... but we lost the DAD, TWO LIPS, SMALL PARTS, DARK AGES... ECT

[PirateBC]

@mushroomheadsquish

i disagree. the tom's first record with them was worldhood. and dont tell me theres no meaning in it :)

[mushroomheadsquish]

canadian underground music... d.o.a. / s.n.f.u. / nomeansno / rush / treble charger / finger eleven / the trews / direct action / bif naked ... please add to the list...

[skullboyy]

rush isn't very underground, but still a great band nontheless.

I'll add Sketchy and his imaginary friends, slush, fall of summer

[mushroomheadsquish]

You are correct, but if you look into their music you will find them to be classified as a "musician's band"... tough one to leave off though... they write hooks and choruses so complex that their talent makes it sound pleasant while maintaining their musicianship...

[mushroomheadsquish]

london ontario's "OCTOBER CRISIS"... if you know of talented CANADIAN underground bands please add to my list...

[Jungleheathen]

OK, I will... Knifehandchop, Venetian Snares, C64, Dink Bridge...

Though, I have a sneaky feeling mushroo... 'ahem', I mean, 'some' may disagree, because they don't play guitars? Please prove me WRONG..?

[mushroomheadsquish]

you mean those bands don't have guitars in them... or i don't play guitar? i play bass - you can check out the vids i made for my band from 94 - Karma Breach - ... or the bands are without guitars??? hhhhmmmmmm... i'll look 'em up then...

[Jungleheathen]

Sorry, my comment didn't scan very well, I really shouldn't post when I'm plastered. I meant those bands don't play guitars, it's all rowdy electronic stuff. Hope you like!

[highjack08]

don't forget The Smalls.

[jamieph1970]

Not forgetting the might Shovelhed. Introduced to me by John Wright at a NMN gig in Nottingham, England, 1988.

[AIKevorkian]

Hey thanx! I bought Live & Cuddly when it was first released. I didn't know someone videotaped it!

[SavariaHardcore]

Thank You for sharing this! One of the gratest bands ever!

[clismo]

gotverdomme briljant!

[colin1778]

Amazing did you film this?! Where did you get it? Any chance this performance can be had complete on dvd? So great to finally see this in video format after listening to it for years!! NoMeansNo have to be the best punk band ever. I wish they would come back to Winnipeg sometime soon.

Always wanted to know what exactly Andy was going to say/explanation about the solo though!

[mushroomheadsquish]

yeah! i want this on dvd. come on guys... don't let shit like this rot...

[router74]

Awesome vid. I too always thought John produced that S.O.D. spiel.

Live + Cuddly = greatest live punk album ever!!!

[celebratedsummer88]

greatest of all time.

[disnywhite1]

Thank you for posting this. I was too broke to see this tour and now at least I can see it.

Cheers! Best live band ever.You wouldn't happen to have any footage of NMN and the Urinals at the spaceland? I could have sworn there were cameras there that night. I was drunk though.

[mitsurugi162]

these guys are amazing i was recently introduced to this band and theve changed how i look at punk the rule!!! rock on NomeansNo

[gsi19975]

meanest bass line to date. this entire recording is outstanding(live and cuddly).great posting.

[randunivac]

best. punk. band. ever.

[punkofiel]

in my ears....,THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER!!!!!!!

[ALEHCAGOY]

i had the cd but where can i get the vid?

[flosski]

we want more!!!!

[bobbyconover]

I've thought the "Stormtroopers of Death" bit was John talking for the 10+ years I've been listening to this show. My whole world is collapsing!

[killingtime15]

the timing was damn impressive. he just hit that note at the end of the "solo" and bam

[Khimkharmakan]

You beauty! - where did you get this?! Thanks very much!

[deadelectromix]

How come he says "Hunker down ya'll" in the audio but not the video?

[veejaythepig]

live and cuddly is from 2 different shows

[deadelectromix]

Nevermind, I thought it was Rob that said it, but it was actually John. Sometimes it's annoying how similar their voices are.

[KSRothwell]

Fucking excellent.  Thanks!

[jagargal]

Extraordinary.

Thanks for posting!

[TheRealFlapman]

OMFG! I know the audio material by heart and to see the video material after so many years is so f*cking great! Thank you so much!

[veejaythepig]

dayum

i love you even more now for sharing this as well

[MateoPanadero]

This is da shit! You've got more? Meer a.u.b.! I saw NMN a couple of times back then (Bolwerk, Atak, Vera.) Superb and energetic gigs!
