[miked4309]

90's forever awesome

[MoTuS944]

ROADRASH SONG !!! REMEMBER THIS VERY GOOD GAME !!!

[skinthesun100]

Road Rash was awesome, I played it on my Mega Drive though.

[moogkorg]

I love this tune. And I like it even more because none of my friends are hip to this band. It is like my own private heaven.

Check out a podcast review of Swervedriver's Mezcal Head at digmeoutpodcast. com, a weekly podcast dedicated to reviewing lost and forgotten rock of the 90s.

[kemicon]

@digmeoutpodcast forgotten?

[TheGmcFilms]

Now you know where the Foo Fighters have shamelessly mined their career from...G...

[scottbranlawns]

@TheGmcFilms

You could not be more be correct. I remember this exact thread on Ajay Sharma's Swervedriver page in the Late Nineties. EVERLONG, case in point.

[dedricthere]

This song reminds me that I have good taste in music.

[MrZol]

@dedricthere fuckin real !

[MikeParkerKP]

[bryjai10]

saw these guys in melbourne in the late 90's and at adelaide uni in the late 90's, raise has never been far from my cd/ipod listening and got tickets for Feb 19 2011 for the corner hotel again, thanks for reuniting and touring oz, 90's tunes are the soul of my life and as i enter my mid-late 30's the true great bands are more important to me than ever before.

[MrJordanowen]

it was on burnout revenge aswell

[MetallicBill]

I got Road Rash as one of the first games on 3DO, and then Sega Genesis, a true 16 bit, however, 3DO could do more, at the end of the day, they turned to software for PC. I got the game on PC and it runs on Win2K and Vista so far, tested VERY recently!

[vincentlcarter]

this deserves more recognition

[harshmufc]

i remember playing this one forever... from dusk till dawn till dusk... esp. the final levels (Napa valley)... dude... it really took some grit to pass that one... and the amazing soundtrack.. (even though i dint understand a word of what they were saying, except maybe Satansville, i just loved the tracks... am now going on collecting the masterpieces one by one... :D)

by far one of the most memorable, if not the best, games EA ever made....

[markoe500]

@harshmufc agrreed

[billjesusgates]

what happened to my rock n' roll?  F the world.

[Andylong99]

ROAD RASH 3 YEAH!!!!!

[katadantesux]

Where's he going?

[eclipsespilce]

Wow, this was in a video game?  You silly kids...

[MetallicBill]

@eclipsespilce adults now, this was 1993 or something!??

[freekster1]

The good old days...

[dedricthere]

The fuzz baby ! The fuzz !!!

[074Jesse]

Reminds me of that hot blond chick

[NeilThompson30]

Amazing song - best band of the 90s -

bollocks to Blur and all the other Smiths ripoffs.

[harshmufc]

GREAT GREAT GREAT SONG... loving it since RoadRash... (along with Satansville)

hope they had not broken up....

[KingSandwell]

Fuck Alan McGee, what a cunt. he dropped swervedriver but kept Oasis, what a retard

[PropzTV]

Damn this song takes me back to the Road Rash days... I miss the 90's...

[shinkubadera]

i love this song!!!

[markoe500]

road rash for sure....and this song really good one of the better ones

[MrGhostface2001]

Are they gonna play again?

[dollsnatch]

this song is bringing back adolescent memories

[cabalofdemons]

Road Rash baby

[mmhd90]

I really like the relaxing part at the end (3:57 onward)

[buczek0711]

@mmhd90

me too, IMHO this is the best part of song ;]

[superdevins]

I was tripped out when this was on Burnout Paradise. everytime this son comes on I wanna rush to the junk yard and get my sports bike. it's an awesome song. funny think i still have road rash for the PS1.

[777Lateralus]

best band ever

[zerosoma33]

Yeah...I've always thought Swervedriver was one of the best bands of the 90s. I never knew why they didn't take off commercially. Maybe they wanted to stay indie? One of my favorites for sure.

[JayRicci7891]

This was on Burnout Paradise aswell as Road Rash. Great song

[MegaChrome09]

reminds me of speeding on my 68 el camino when i was 16

[Teetee33]

Everytime I hear this song, I remember those warm spring nights back in '98 when I used to listen to this and walk around my old neighborhood after supper. Good times..

[lefrauens]

Adam Franklin is still gettin' er done!

[kirrus17]

oh i love swervedriver it's a shame they broke up!

[kingcroak]

Nope, they're still going!

[kirrus17]

eh yeah i know they reunited for a world tour but i don't think they gonna go back to the studio. But deep inside I hope they will.

[777Lateralus]

listen to those riffs!

no one writes songs like this any more

[kemicon]

Listening to Swervedriver always makes me want to go snowboarding.

[nakedgun17]

You all missed seeing them live... They were great! Last show I saw was at the Whiskey in LA. It was great to see them in such a small venue; you could really hear their sounds.

[nikkobelictube]

ROAD RASH ROCKS !!!!

[lpeformiga]

This is Just amazing. Brings good memories! VIVA ROAD RASH. A perfect Game with perfect Soundtrack!

[MacKay1812]

@nikkobelictube Remember this on Road Rash back in the day on my PC

[MetallicBill]

@MacKay1812 Got my CDROM copy from the Goodwill store for $3!

[elenar011]

3DO

[tropica73]

A band before their time, an excellent CD!!

[84Bronco351]

Wasn't this in Road Rash?

[VenusHeadTrap]

lol you're not the only one looking up the classics from that game.

[jmejc]

found it!

Original Version is so great!

[enginenum1]

without a doubt,my all time favorite song ever.first heard this song on road rash when i was like 9 yrs old and Ive been listening to it ever since.Mezcal Head is a really good cd as well.its a shame these guys didn't get alot of attention that they deserve back in the 90's.

[jowaad]

great song and also I like very much the instrumentals. and it can be listen in the burnout paradise :D

[trism89]

great song

[SgtBastard101]

Moving on,cause nothing here so it seems....

[Imfromfrankston]

You cant ask Y!

[Imfromfrankston]

Thankyou, you help me because you are my psycic opposite.

[Gatonzola]

road rush game

[meinLiebsterFeind]

rash

[katkatlov]

so great. wish it was LOUDER!

[regverret]

that riff is the heaviest thing ever.

[eckmacdonald]

seen them live at king tuts in glasgow many years ago this takes me back to these shoegazing daze

[MusicTheFirstLove]

IM going to see them there on the 18th of september. I've not been to that venue b4, what is it like ?

[eckmacdonald]

Is a nice wee intimate venue the last time I was there many moons ago. Hope you have a good one. Rave on

[ghostninjax]

hahahaahahahah, no i can do even better, from the n64 version the spoke jam......nuff said

[ghostninjax]

i love this song it plays in my head when i ride my motorcycle, so fitting

[jongodwin]

And then you get the urge to hit and kick people off their bikes. Road Rash was such a classic Sega Saturn game.

[Pollemflux]

Awesome! Brings back -ancient- memories..

[Nohmada]

esta banda es muy buena, doy gracias a dios por permitirme descubrirla.

excelente cancion

[pinoypangit]

Verdad que si?

[mahonolith]

such a great song, this video is shit.

shit.

great band.

[IndustrialClairity]

LOVE Swervedriver!! <3<3

[shitbax]

yeah

it remains 'road rash'

[Darrenov]

Ride were amazing.

[zombiegod]

Awesome song. Gives me goosebumps. what a chorus!!!

[obstinadoxdream]

nice discover showgaze at it´s best certainly!!

[pinheadsen]

OK!My Bloody Valentine has reformed, the same goes with Jesus & Mary Chain. Now Swervedriver has done it, so we all wait for the best band ever....RIDE!!!Wouldn't that be something:)

[tristessa56079]

Yeah, I really want to see Ride reform as well. I'm also seeing MBV and Swervedriver this year. Seems the shoegaze groups are all coming back, which is awesome.

[mcgainey]

thats some song

Long live swervedriver

come to ireland in your tour please

[Swervedriver007]

Swervedriver have reformed, and a world tour is happening, its about time :))))))

[rafaelpancinha]

Fantastic! One of the best alt bands from 90's. It reminds me of my teenage, listening these bands and playing Road Rash on Sega Saturn!!!!

They're kicked ass!

[MetallicBill]

@rafaelpancinha Was that Genesis or did they have a Saturn version too?

[ghostieojr]

wasn't this video hidden on an early playstation game?

[GunPoor]

road rash

[markoe500]

not hidden. it was w/ a dif cut scene of a dif group "performing" the song w/ bike cut scenes.. really nice

[Pocon2]

I've heard about this video(the original version) but it was never aired on MuchMusic (Canada). Instead the other cut of Duel was aired; where they lay down on green pastures.

But my, this version is a more gutsy and adrenaline filled, reflecting the motion and speed of the song.

I like it!

[tju568]

swervedriver express radicality.motion-fuelled music and imagery.

[swdduel]

omg dude...i luv u for postin dis

[vegankennedy]

Loved Swervedriver. Never got the pub they deserved but my mates and I loved 'em.

Great name for a band by the way.

[Morphizm]

fuck i miss those days. by the way, swerve's singer adam franklin has a solo disc out that kicks ass. called bolts of melody.

[wmbernhard]

Thanks for posting this. This band was the anthem of my college days. One of the best bands of all time that no one really picked up on.

[minimal1975]

this sng featured on the surf film bluejuice.wkd choon

[spidermonkeyTEK]

great song

[KomackinoA]

swervedriver man, that was the shit.

[annualb4by]

those were the days when snowboarding was new and not a slackers' sport perceived as an olympic discipline.
