@miyamotofan Dude that was funny as hell. I'm gonna remember that for when my lady gives me a blowy. "Thanks babe, you just blew me to Smithereens!" LMAO!
@voltronsky I have to respectfully disagree..I saw your comment and loaded "Fool Like You" by Ozzy and saw very little similarities between these two songs. !!
@voltronsky There is a BIG difference between Ozzy's song and this one. First the music is different and second the lyrics are not the same. Both songs are art and deserve their own place in music history. The Ultimate sin is my all time fave Ozzy album.
@reptilia5 The Ultimate Sin is a great, classic album, I love it to death myself. However, I think Diary of a Madman is his best work as a solo artist. Jake E. Lee is awesome but Randy was something else.
@apokryphos117g you're right about Pat being a great guy. I produced an indie feature a few years ago in which he had a small part. I've been back stage at any number of the band's shows (they're all great guys) and they're still together after all these years, crunching out "power pop" at its finest.
"Even the pop bands of the 90's were gr8,etc.,,,," Very true, today's "bands" aren't even bands...It's a bunch of over hyped synthetic garbage, that is purposely "droned" until you become a zombie consumer...
Such a simple song, but yet very popular, I heard this song on the radio and was taken by this song! Y can't we have music like this these days?? I miss them......
Rock PERFECTION! Melodic tunes, powerful bass lines, interesting chord changes, creative harmonies, uncomplicated but meaningful, CLEAN lyrics (holy C***! No WAY!!) driving beats, gorgeous lead vocals (oh Pat, you were SO yummy lol)....what more can you ask for from a rock band? Seriously, The Smithereens are amazing! ^_^
The first time I heard this song was on a TV show called ADVENTURES WITH THE POORMAN. This was a program hosted by KROQ's the poorman in LA during the 80s. He would interview new bands and find cheap resturaunts to eat at. These days he hosts THE POORMANS BIKINI BEACH. Guess who he interviews these days?
The Smithereens sound just pounds your very essence. Hendrix described his music as a full body experience hitting all spectrums of sound. This is just bad ass kick ass rock. If you don't move to it you have no soul!!!!!!!!!!
I am 27 years old and i'm a musician. I have a great musical culture and i know the difference between kiss and smitheerens... but this song reminds me a kiss song of 1992. the sound of voice reminds'me that of paul stanley...sit down son, enter in my channell and listen my music...shut up
@maccantuono Yes kid, I am a poet, and artist and a musician, published, educated and a Teacher. I could also describe the things I taught your Mother but that would just be mean.
@maccantuono No kid, your Mother is happy because I allowed her to practice playing my skin flute. The only art you make is the fecal smears on your keyboard. Now hush child.
youuuuu again ?? oh my god. patetic man !! now shut your mouth and don't bother me anymore...(I PLAY KEYBOARD, GUITAR, DRUMS, BASS, VIOLIN, SAX AND MANY MANY MORE INSTRUMENTS. IDIOT ..AND YOU?? AHAHA YOU PLAY ONLY YOUR COCK ...forget me !! the case is closed. adios IDIOT IMPOLITE ASSHOLE
@maccantuono Amd still the little greaseball WOP f ag boy spews his missing Daddy's jism from between his salami lips. Speaking of salami lips, I let your Mother play my Saxaphone kid...she puckers like a champ.
ahaha very funny idiot !! You have 40 years.. but you're not ashamed to speak in this way? pathetic and stupid... ok continues to write what you want .. blah blah blah blah
....reminds me in particular the kiss song "Take It Off" but just little bit on the verse and for the sound in general and also for the style of guitar riff and drums.
(I'm Italian and I don't speak English very well...if I were english I would explain it better ...)
....maybe kiss they were inspired by the smitheerens..this was written in 1989, while that of the kiss it was written in 1992...anyway are 2 great song...
@MrGreycharles, Interesting point. These guys came along at what was arguably the high point of big label power and still kind of did their own thing in terms of style and subject matter (e.g the Gotti song). Thus the alternative label. But your description is perfect. I think it was a New York Times reviewer (maybe Kaleffah Saneh?) who came up with the perfect Smithereens description--they play your favorite songs that you've never heard before.
I find it hilarious that the Smithereens were called "alternative". What they were, and are, is great, straight ahead rock. I'll take them over the freaking pixies or belly or any of that style any day of the year.
I was already 30 and done with pop music by this time, and a teenage coworker turned me onto the Smithereens. Great music, even though I was an "old guy" lol
I saw these guys at the palace in melbourne in 93. Walked in and watched them during a sound check after buying tickets. They were awesome , love you guys thanks for being part of my life :)
I am EMBARASSED to admit that I had not heard much of the Smithereens back in the day. I was a hair metal loser. I am however, proudly, making up for lost time. The Smithereens are the real deal - hardcore, genuine rock and roll at its finest. Thanks for this posting and to all those who have posted more songs by the genuises! Cheers...
@moron1966 HAHAHA!! I'm having the opposite revelation in middle age. I was an alternative music/new wave type who was always in some place that was playing music like this, and now I'm realizing that I denied myself a lot of really great "hair metal loser" music!!!
This was made to be the theme song to "Say Anything..." but Cameron Crowe didn't use it because he felt it outlined the whole plot and gave it all away.
They were hurt by the rise of grunge,yet while Kurt was writing NEVERMIND he said he was influenced by The Smithereens.I loved this song&this band.I met them in Miami & Pat was really nice(&a gr8 tipper!).I don't know if they any influences on other grunge bands of which were always few in # but it was bands like this that took college alt rock from being played in the middle of the night2 the attention of people.Even the pop bands of the 90's were gr8 compared2 today's bands.
This did not usher in Grunge...if anything grunge killed good hook driven melody pop like this. I do agree that we need more bands like the Smitereens again.
awhpriol1 Everyone saying they don't make good music anymore are losers. If anybody made music like this now, it would be derivative - just appreciate the music that's been made, and if you want better new music - make it. But understand that the rock genre, as a whole, has simply lost its power, but there is a ton of different types of music to explore. If you don't like the new music - don't listen to it - and remember, there was PLENTY of crap on the radio in the eighties/early nineties.
Music was just starting to get good again when this came out. Bands like the Smithereens and Replacements helped usher in Grunge. We sorely need bands like the Smithereens to emerge to help start a new wave of good music in our present times.
@whpriol1 You said it. We are (for waaaaaaay too long now) in a time of nothing but completely disposable,cookie cutter garbage that is instantly forgotten. It's all about being auto-tuned,instrument-less and produced by idiots who could care less about real music. Of course,to these producer jerk-off's,the only real interest is in a quick ton of cash from the never ending line of morons who it appeals to. But no worries,the masses will eat it up,just like they always have and always will.
@liveup5 YES!! You said this in a way that stole the words out of my mouth. I am sick as hell of this artificial, auto-tuned, fast food style production of albums. People don't know music like this because they are being force fed this snooki, kesha, lady gaga, hip hop crap that has no musical feel to it except the vocal work. If you take that out you have is a souped-up metronome.
@MsMarc1234, that is such a ignorant comment, I am almost hesitant to dignify it with a response.
Perhaps my comment to you was a bit strong, but if you do not acknowledge that good music has been made post 2000 then wow, you need to crawl out from under your rock. Ever heard of Ray LaMontagne (sp.?) Ever heard of Arcade Fire? Kings Of Leon? Duffy? I could go and on.
Sorry for my harsh comment, but music is most assuredly alive and well.
@frankc32 Yeah, I have heard all of those. Next to someone like Mozart, George Benson, Django Reinhardt,led Zeppelin, NWA, Charles Minus, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jaco Pastorius(you get the picture?) these names just blends into the crowd. These artists arent making music - we have just be degenerated to a point were we cant hear the difference. There is a few guys, like Yoshiki Hayashi or The brand new heavies, but mostly its dead today.
Wow I haven't heard this since '89! They even played the video on MTV WAAAY before MTV started to suck ass!! Even though I listen to metal, this is true classic hits!
When I was about 12-13I tried to learn guitar by listening to tape and getting a chord book to see if I could mimic the sound. THESE guys were/are the definitive guitar sound imo. Huge music and bigger guitars, they just blew you outta the water...
lol so far you're theonly one who has got the meaning of my name. I heard it could be died blue, or orange. And the ones I had on 3 different occasions had no color so you couldn't tell they were dosed. But, if you've had it on cubes, it must have been pure stuff because that's been virtually obsolete since 67

Perhaps my comment to you was a bit strong, but if you do not acknowledge that good music has been made post 2000 then wow, you need to crawl out from under your rock. Ever heard of Ray LaMontagne (sp.?) Ever heard of Arcade Fire? Kings Of Leon? Duffy? I could go and on.
Sorry for my harsh comment, but music is most assuredly alive and well.
Cheers!

@frankc32 Yeah, I have heard all of those. Next to someone like Mozart, George Benson, Django Reinhardt,led Zeppelin, NWA, Charles Minus, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jaco Pastorius(you get the picture?) these names just blends into the crowd. These artists arent making music - we have just be degenerated to a point were we cant hear the difference. There is a few guys, like Yoshiki Hayashi or The brand new heavies, but mostly its dead today.

@MsMarc1234, those are some heavy hitters, my friend, and I cannot argue that the bands I mentioned even come close to that kind of genius.
I just think it is sort of short-sighted to say that music "died in 2000".
You do have good taste in music, I will grant you that!
Cheers!

When I was about 12-13I tried to learn guitar by listening to tape and getting a chord book to see if I could mimic the sound. THESE guys were/are the definitive guitar sound imo. Huge music and bigger guitars, they just blew you outta the water...

lol so far you're theonly one who has got the meaning of my name. I heard it could be died blue, or orange. And the ones I had on 3 different occasions had no color so you couldn't tell they were dosed. But, if you've had it on cubes, it must have been pure stuff because that's been virtually obsolete since 67

@dadeXxReachxX12, suggested play-list "Social Distortion" (eponymous 1990), "Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell", (1992), "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" (1996).
Enjoy, my friend!
