Elastica - Connection (Live at Jools Holland '94)

[sirmarmalade]

Blimey, can almost smell the skag from here, 18 yrs later...

[enolapayback]

The trust fund junkie Jewish chick with the wonderful eyebrows is fuckable so is the Weymouth clone and the music is advertising ready to go ! Who thought this up ?

[KidMalone]

Is she pillin'?

[MOSTechnology]

best covers band of the 90's by far

[LTF6161]

The Dutch girls standing around the stage have threatened their boyfriends that if they dare dance or show they think these girls (or the drummer) is hot...they will get nothing after the show...or die.

[guidedbythespirit]

rock n roll twists and turns and everyone's bitin, riffin on everyone it all stems from the same thing raw energy surging through the youth and given to make your ears bleed.

[ome32]

*locates cash machine*

[AjoinedtoE]

She looks shaggable but kind of like the kid in terminator at the same time

[Pepper6464]

The bitch is fug

[drslobulus]

@Pepper6464 Why are you talking about yourself?

[Pepper6464]

@drslobulus Fuck you. You are a bitch fug too!

[drslobulus]

@Pepper6464 Good one. That was a real zinger.

[CrazyDan1984]

@KrazedXxMaggot how r u gonna call a bunch of chicks fags?

[boogertt]

wow back when bands could actually play live. its funny how now days we accept shit live performances xD

[melodsys]

One hit wonder your an idiot! This band is awesome loads of great stuff! WAY BETTER THAN OASIS! and much more original. Ya know it occurs to me you probably werent insider or hip enough to have even known who they were in the 90's

[bad4ever2001]

Thank fuck, I only appreciate music when it sounds good instead of bitching about some form of insight to it. Just relax and listen to music people, chill the fuck out. I love this song. ^^

[s3077769]

the rif has been tweaked a little, my opinion for the better. Kudos to wire

[JohnnyCagePro]

i'd tap dat

[Bagelbutcher]

Good God, Justine was quite a dish, and a very talented one at that, back in the day.

But wrinkles, saggy tits, and bad skin have the last say.

[fuzter2007]

one hit wonder. or, better: one minor-hit wonder...

[LTF6161]

@fuzter2007

One hit? Maybe US but certainly not UK

[oddmanout1792]

anyone with any taste at all will promptly vote down and flag for spam squirrelfartz.

[LorneBarry]

Why is it on almost every post there is bitching. If you don't like the music or musician move on. On the other hand if you have something "relevant" go nuts...other than that..start a blog...

[michaelporc]

she was a bitch.... hahahaha!!! Britpop-Bitch, ask Albarn(Blur) o Andersson(Suede)

[oktaviodughetto]

that's what i call punk rock ! CONNECTION IS MADE !

[LTF6161]

@oktaviodughetto

I agree, it is punk at heart, but then it has a beat, so maybe more like Punk Plus.

[mickmars51]

i reckon the bass player is prettier than justine....

[hanajinks]

Smackers!

[NickOLarse999]

Is it true that she is/was a raving Tory?

[LTF6161]

@NickOLarse999

I HOPE SO! Though an American, I love th coalition govt! Love Cameron...Love Clegg.  Go LIBDEMS!

[fatzooma]

Damon Albarn wrote their music...fact!! I was told this by them in 93.

[LTF6161]

@fatzooma

It could only be considered "fact" if someone with credibility and evidence would say so. That would not be you. But if so, that then that would mean Albarn is one big plagiarizer b/c Elastica stole (albeit improved) a great deal of the music they played.

[fatzooma]

@LTF6161 Shut up you clown...I reckon you are a right old narcissistic cunt ! Were you one of the audience.....I take it you are a gay?

[LTF6161]

@fatzooma

Why should I "shut up"? And "old" is rather relative. Narcissistic...perhaps. A "cunt", no. I wasn't in the audience, if I had been I wouldn't have been standing there looking, well, narcissistic. And no, I am not gay...but I am not sure why that would matter to you.

[LTF6161]

Some of the guys in the audience look like they really want to rock out but they are afraid the girls they are with will kill them if they do. Cats are cats where ever.

[The111DooD]

@LTF6161 If I was there I'd at least be bobbing up and down in the spot... AT LEAST!

[DrMantecol]

I fucking miss the 90's..

[phlser]

sound of wire, bass like burnell, habit like thunders. what a band!

[NoGotMoney]

God, Justine was hot.

[LTF6161]

The worst and most narcissistic audience I have ever seen!

[MannteufelJohn]

Sixteen years .. ? Where'd they go? Oh, yeah ... I was getting high.  What do I do now?

[LTF6161]

@MannteufelJohn

Die...or live. It really is up to you.

[MannteufelJohn]

@LTF6161 You are perfectly right. Thank you. Simple but helpful. Time to grow up.

[ivan1sierra]

melafo

[ivan1sierra]

melafo

[ybot1983]

theyre all old woman with 10 cats now

[TheDrChappers]

TUNE.

[WizzoUK]

just fit as fuk (still is!)

[bengi0311]

Justin is my drum teacher

[ybot1983]

@bengi0311 we know

[jrbromberg]

@skumrock lucky!

[wilmothg]

It's a song with a borrowed riff....different vocal melody..., which by the way is 75 percent of a rock tune's basic formula.....paid the publishing owner and took Three Girl Rhumba and mad a great song....of their own. Get the hell over it, jag-offs.

[msblurgirl]

Elastica were great, wire were great. Its not a total rip of, its a good song. End of.

[rocellasoriano]

I love her!!! justine y brody son lo mejor XD

[ciaran3707]

Not exactly the most animated audience.

[ramiroortega1991]

They are pretty amazing. The best female rock band of the past 20 years. Pretty excellent.

Donna's guitar playing is so amazing. Loved everything of it!

[LTF6161]

Yeah, they nicked Wire...but Elastica improved it so much I think they can claim it as their own

[ziggy471961]

I wonder how Wire felt when the heard this song?

[newsgraphics]

they felt great - basically wondering how long it would take to receive payment...which they did.

[nikolaxoox]

en el minuto 0:44 mira a la nada

[nikolaxoox]

me encantanme adsanan encanta

[dddpunking]

justine is so fuckin cool

[LTF6161]

Buddy Holly would be proud

[DirtyRamires]

best haircut ever

[RobotBadger]

At least she is a girl. Wire didn't have any girls.

[ybot1983]

love trustieindies

[paraxicosis]

wire (band) sample

[harfarhs]

It's not plagiarism. The song has one element in common with the Wire song. Many rock songs have that much in common with others.

[13crapa]

same chord,same tempo, same dynamics? it's a rip off

[harfarhs]

@13crapa - the Elastica song is faster and has more instrumentation.. both songs progress differently after the riff which was supposedly ripped off.

But do try again :)

[13crapa]

are u serious?? it's "Three Girl Rhumba". period

[harfarhs]

No - only 'Three Girl Rhumba' is 'Three Girl Rhumba', you dork. If you can hear Colin Newman growling over this, you're insane..

[ziggy471961]

what wire song are you refering too?

[13crapa]

Three Girl Rhumba

[ziggy471961]

Holy shit!! You're right!! This is a total rip off!!

[FallFanCan]

@harfarhs Actually it is plagiarism, the riff was directly taken from Wore without permission.

[whpriol1]

@harfarhs Yeah just ask ColdPlay who completely ripped off Joe Satriani with La Vida Loca.

[darkmobohaha]

Plagiarism's still plagiarism.

[101airbourn]

Yeah.... not bad.

[KJAnsia]

Wire.

[iamlameduck]

Wow! Kill yourself.

[squirrelfartz]

You go first.

[msblurgirl]

Great song, Justine is great:)

[puacino2]

@msblurgirl I agree!

[coco311311]

* * * * *

[clint0nc0llier]

What is the name of the lead singer?'

[msblurgirl]

Justine Frischmann

[Fuzzeh]

The drummer was my teacher.

[ablurida]

[priestessOFdarknessX]

[clint0nc0llier]

The lead singer is quite beautiful.

[givememylolly]

[moosenator2yo]

@clint0nc0llier not to mention her former boyfriend before elastica when she was with suede, brett anderson. beautiful couple.

[ukpunk1]

@clint0nc0llier

Yes She used to be with Brett Anderson of Suede and Damon Albarn of Blur

[hivelocity100]

@clint0nc0llier love her hair

[averagejoe2468]

@clint0nc0llier the drummer is now my drum teacher just to let u know

[ofcoursehesthefarmer]

@clint0nc0llier She was the lead actress in a snuff film shot by The Farmer.

[msblurgirl]

Justine rocks!

[harryspoonpotter]

[mjd775]

[rizzablur]

Saludos!(:

[grassingtongreen]

She went for a shit.

[unitedstatesofsleep]

wire much?

[jonnyrocketballs69]

heroin much?

[granola4thahighrolla]

i hear they got sued for ripping off the riff..

[bentharsel]

riff by who?

[granola4thahighrolla]

by wire - fucken blatantly too. some pathetic bullshit..

[RabbitPunching]

yeah, and wire's songs utter shit

[granola4thahighrolla]

this is actually one of the lamest songs i've ever heard in my entire life. up there with oasis. fucken pathetic arse svengali derivative shit you are a phenomenal fuckstick if you can condone this

[RabbitPunching]

i'm a unorthodox fuckstick, get it right nutsack, and Wire sucks the Scabies off my contagious left nut

[granola4thahighrolla]

dude wire are one of the last decent bands your now lame arse country has ever produced.. now you guys can just rest on your laurels and stew away with these pathetic imitations..

[harryspoonpotter]

just cos it's derivative doesn't stop it being a fucking tune :D fucking hell if u only listened to original bands u'd have about seven bands to listen to

[clint0nc0llier]

Then why are you listening to it? Sounds like a surfeit of negativity.

[granola4thahighrolla]

know your enemy... that and i like blur. apparently this chick had to go on some Buddhist spiritual awakening in the US. probably a necessary remedy for people who are full of shit.

[harryspoonpotter]

wire. dont remember the name of the tune, its on elasticas wikipedia article somewhere tho

[Reint25]

I guess you mean Three Girl Rumba.

[givememylolly]

god i love how laid back they look, people give too much of a shit into how they dress these days

[gavrom]

damon albarn on drums, gavin rossdale singin look alike. the brits .

[Jamieoo77]

Are you taking the piss below shirley mansun! This was a truely original band you dont know what your talking about mate. Garbage were just that. The queerest of the queer give me a break.

[galactrons]

..and within 15 years,justine,ye shall marry a ginger professor.!!!!

[rafainlimbo2]

elastica wow.... llive is better

remember 90s

have a good day!!!

[rhba]

She is so goddamn hot + great song!!!

[cudaj2]

Justine has lovely hairy armpits too!

[radio19952001]

thats gross. Id let her shit on my stomach but if she has hairy armpits than fuck that

[rob1516]

i'd let her shit in my own ass

[yasminx16]

Justine is just....amazing!

Love elastica!

[alisa192000]

I love her look.

[CytoplasmicGoo]

she's second just below sherly manson on my all time greatest rock chick chart

[sonicadv27]

i think she's third below Shirley Manson AND Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries... in my opinion of course......

[CytoplasmicGoo]

So, where would you put Harriet Wheeler?

[sonicadv27]

maybe fourth or fifth... lol... I've never been a great fan of the Sundays, but her haircut was too cool...

[protegemoi32]

Aquellos maravillosos 90 de la música inglesa

[juanpablom89]

Love the song!!

[20thCB]

1994?! Well shaft me sideways.

[cmk7]

Justine rox the casbah!

[truelove1900]

pretty cool perfomance!

[wepf]

Que chévere, me recuerda la playa... :op

[shaneonya]

I've never stopped missing Elastica! Totally LOVED their tunes. And Justine; coolest chick around.

[drbotanus]

this might be the last actual rock song ever recorded. After this it became all hip hop and mediocre R&B imitators.

[demo23nz]

HAHAHA...

[weirdfishesarpeggio]

Thanks to XFM Scotland im listning to this!!!

[mxblue10]

such a good fucking song. such a fucking beautiful girl

[sprtn117c]

lol at 00:44! great song btw!

[seekabc]

It's amazing

[shade8901]

I still remember the first time I heard that song...It's amazing yet

[SlackerMad]

This song is ace, i always wanted to know the theme tune from Trigger Happy TV.

CHEERS LADS

[canarycoalmine]

it's not everyday you see someone rockin' out with a coat around their waist.

[cmk7]

Thats what YOU think. :)

[cmk7]

Omg! How can you say this sexy ass bitch looks like a guy? She is so fucking hot, you could not touch this.

[piipppy1]

would you ask your drummer what damon albarn is actually like personality wise please!

cheers

[Kevanova]

Let's get this straight, the only reason they are famous is Trigger Happy TV :)

[nickbaldeagle01]

As big as U2? Yeah right. The only reason they made it famous was 'cos Justine was shagging her way through the lead members of some of the biggest bands at the time. Brett Anderson from Suede, Damon Albarn of Blur, Thom Yorke of Radiohead...fact is their songs were lightweight and tuneless. Overrated and under talented.

[myersmad]

you shore they werent fucking her to get attention? she was the guitarist in suede before elastica anyway?

[palehoney]

Thom Yorke? Where did you get THAT from?

[nickbaldeagle01]

Not to mention Madonna's current husband, a certain Guy Ritchie AND Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream. Oh yes. She's been around the track more times than Sebastian Coe...

[babih619]

thats fucking bullshit, i like elastica cuz of their incredibly catchy songs, in fact, i don't even like blur! blue fucking sucks,so is damon albarn. elastica > blur. Blur is possibly the most overrated band in music history.

If elastica is overrated then why did they have only like 1.3 million plays on last fm? hah,they're underrated at best

[nickbaldeagle01]

Hey, I never heard of Last FM. Just checked it out, looks good. Good call. But Elastica are still shite.

[samiparisis]

The drummer is my current drum teacher!

[davotroon]

OMG!

[Barthek]

If it wasn't for heroin, this band could have been as big as U2.

[samiparisis]

Why what happened?

[Barthek]

Pretty much all of them were on heroin. It drove Donna out of the band. And their sound changed to a slower down style which wasn't what their fans wanted. When you hear bands heavy on smack, their sound changes to what Elastica's second cd sounded like.

[cmk7]

A very fine example of this is on the second album, 'Human'. Pure Heroin.

[samiparisis]

Oh right thanks man. I'm pretty sure Justin is completely clean!

[cmk7]

Hey, thats great!

Heroin will kill ya!

[joansheer]

sad that they all became junkies

[radiobembaco]

Elastica rules forever, i still love their haircuts and style, great music¡¡¡

[hassy82]

justine was fair hot. i wanted a threesome with her and louise wener when i was a young lad.

[pared1986]

it looks like miming..but i dont give a f'ck!!

elastica its an amazing band!!!

i miss em!!!

[dynamo0]

three girl rhumba

[losttango]

Of course they're not miming, bands don't mime on "Later". However they did rip this song off wholesale from an old Wire track.

[dominiccarter77]

Wasn't a total rip off of that Wires track! Look at the great imposters that are Oasis! They seem to rip off anything and get away with it! Ripped off The Stones,T-Rex,that band from Liverpool whos name I always forget! Some get bought,some get caught!

Regards.
