J Mascis and the Fog - Thumb ( Hultsfred Festival 2001)

[12inchvertical]

who do you think supports Mascis' sound more - Barlow or Watt... I have to admit I've heard some great live recordings with Watt playing with J

[kjottoks]

@12inchvertical depends on what songs. Both and all other bassists have made their contributions which I think sounds good. Have listened to some mike watt with j mascis and the fog bootlegs and there are much good stuff. I like this line up. Was lucky to see them once.

[12inchvertical]

@kjottoks the only iteration i've seen live is classic Dino and they are a wonderful live act too ... so no real winners and losers here...

[cerebralfish1]

@12inchvertical Have you ever listened to any firehose?

[12inchvertical]

@cerebralfish1 Have to admit I haven't though I know they were very much a musician's favourite... might have to check them out

[cerebralfish1]

@12inchvertical Check out the firehose albums "Ragin Full On" and "If'n" for some really good old funk punk. Watt is more featured with firehose. Dominant bass work. Check'm out! Guarantee you'll be entertained.

[cerebralfish1]

@12inchvertical Meant to tell you that you can check out the song "Brave Captain" on this site to give you a sample of Firehose stuff.

@cerebralfish1 thanks for the tip, great song

[ThurstonWhore1]

I hate to say it but if i were in that croud hearding what J & Co were producing i would not be stood still,This has to be the BEST version of ''Thumb'' Evere..Dance you Bastards!

@ThurstonWhore1

Well most people were waiting for Soulfly to come on.

[ThurstonWhore1]

@Dhanijel1 In that case shame on them!

[Dhanijel1]

@ThurstonWhore1

Soulfly killed it though.

[rssnowblind0]

I want that jazzmaster!

[tryckfelsnisse]

one of my fav dinosaur songs (dino being one of my fav bands :P) but its much better live than on the green mind album,... cool with watts weird bassplay

[sublime8992]

had to download and put this version on my iPod.

[andy92811]

He has a great taste in gear. Offset guitars, vintage amps, and analog effects FTW!

[aselfishimpulse]

haha watt is such a heavy dude, he's so into it! him and j rule!

[maverickgold]

Actually hair aside hes looking better then ever. I saw Dino a couple of weeks ago and he looks way thinner.

[taxthecorn]

he's really aged since then...

[sublime8992]

thumb = my favorite solo of all time

[Idohalfcabs]

i love this song they played it when i went to see them but when i search it, it comes up with a different slower song

[dirtyspaniard]

I'm going to go see him in November at the Showbox in Seattle. I'm so stoked. I've always wanted to see him. I thought it was too late, but lo' and behold, Nov of 09', he's comin' to town!! Oh yeah...

[SgtPeppers1]

i was going to go see them but both the seattle and portland shows are 21 and over. yet immortal fucking technique is an all ages show. i don't get it

[OwrKeeng]

J mascis probably hates hipsters lol

[taxthecorn]

This is the perfect cloudy day driving down the road with fall leaves blowing everywhere song...with a slight breeze..

[sublime8992]

@taxthecorn TELL ME ABOUT. fall/winter of my senior year ... driving around listening to Dinosaur Jr.

[fuguestateless]

Fuck yeah

[12inchvertical]

this song pretty strongly suggests that J enjoys a bong or two

[chpub1]

"There really is never a good time" says it all...what a fucking great song..."nothing much to Say" "an excuse is all we live for"

[polesaremelting]

first heard this on the whatevers cool with me Ep live version when i was a teen. this is much better live than the song on green mind in my opinion. mascis has invincible solos. on the EP he just off handed says, "we got a couple more for you" and then rips into this song.

[ThurstonWhore1]

Superb!!!!!!!

[GEOpz838]

Cool..J hardly ever uses the Blue Box.
