Mark Lanegan gone crazy

[Tigerpuffer]

Man I love Mark and the Trees are in my top TWO favorite bands, and set destruction is cool and everything, but you dont throw shit into the crowd. EVER. Unless you wanna shower them in some booze like Eddie Vedder or Andy Wood. But throwing a mic stand or a guitar into thr crowd... that is a HUGE no-no. Mark is lucky he didnt end up in jail.

[grimgolf79]

the brave stagehand is trying to defend the monitor box :)

[joban84]

A drunk ,6'2 ,Pissed off Lanegan = scary

[tonyg0525]

Kurt cobain and Mark were very good friends and kurt offered and insisted screaming trees play after NIRVANA at this festival and even though they didnt want to they ended up doing it for some reason. but since they were last they were shit faced by the time they hit the stage! and well this is what happened ahaha ROCK AND ROLL BITCHES! shit like this doesnt happen anymore.

[ghostwhiskey]

man,people will argue about anything

[Caracolespiral]

pues sea lo que sea que haya pasado ahí... Screaming Trees estan bien rifados!!!!

[Strohy88]

drunk as fuck i think :DD but fuckin awesome

[tiemyshoes92]

dont fuck with lanegan

pretty certain hed kick everyones ass in there... hed try atleast

got to love it

[losingmyreligion6767]

@tiemyshoes92 i think hed take on the entire world if he could.... and win. he just doesnt seem like someone anyone could take down, i definitely wouldnt wanna be on his bad side.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

CAN THE GUITARIST (FORGOT HIS NAME) SUCK ANY WORSE ??????????

[Ekyvvsaq]

@DARRINCONNOR1 Its Gary Lee CONNOR, and dont you like the riff?!?

[Ekyvvsaq]

@DARRINCONNOR1 ok now i get it the solo sucked.......

[ghostwhiskey]

@DARRINCONNOR1 ironic considering your name ;)

[DARRINCONNOR1]

@ghostwhiskey Yeah I guess you got me on that one.Gary Lee Connor,yup u got me.He does kinda suk doesn't he??

[IAmKrow]

What the hell was that?

[zapwatt]

WHY do people think this is cool? If I come over to your house during a great party and piss all over the seat and then tear the blinds off of the window, would you think that was cool too? "rawk & fuckin' rowl, dooood"<----get out of jail free card I guess

[ScreamingTree3000]

@zapwatt it's cool because Mark Lanegan is the fucking man, and these pussy bands nowdays who call themselves "rock" won't do this shit, because they are pussies.

that lame singer from Nickelback would quit the show if he broke a finger nail.

[zapwatt]

@ScreamingTree3000 Hey, you know who else is "the man"? Rob Halford, Malcolm Young, Rick Nielsen, and Ronnie James Dio R.I.P. and none of them ever behaved like babies this way.

My girlfriend is pretty friendly with Mark Pickerel and her band plays gigs with his new band & you know what, he doesn't wreck things for sport. In this clip, Lanegan was probably on drugs & doing really stupid things. It isn't cool to trash other peoples' stuff. It isn't fun or macho or badass. . . it is just bad.

[ScreamingTree3000]

@zapwatt It's just an added element of Rock, plenty of bands (good or bad) tore shit up. it's not acting like a baby, it is all in the good name of fun.

Obviously Mark is drunk and or high, but he could have done a lot worse. He didn't piss into the crowd, expose himself, bite the head off a dove, or throw a chicken off stage.

In the end nobody got hurt and the crowd was loving it.

[zapwatt]

@ScreamingTree3000 Okay then, cool; next party at your place I'm gonna piss all over the toilet and then tear the bilnds off of the windows. Rawk & fookin rowl, dooood! <---'cause I'm not a pussy

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@zapwatt You just sound like a moron quite honsetly. Guess you never heard of Bonn Scott or Malcom Young and how they fought off stage. Yea that is not worse than just breaking equipment that can be replaced. Shut the fuck up.

[zapwatt]

@SludgePunkGrunge Moron 'eh? I know how to spell Bon Scott though. As far as fighting off stage is concerned, you're comparing apples to oranges. Fighting off stage is the way to do it if you have to do it. Trashing things that DO NOT BELONG TO YOU (especially if that involves hucking things at the audience) is never cool. How about I just yank the ashtray out of your Hyundai and throw it out the window during the guitar solo to 'Spoonman'? Psh

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@zapwatt shut up fuck face.

[zapwatt]

@SludgePunkGrunge

Brother JB said 'talkin' loud and sayinng nothin'<---and that's exactly what you do. Your schooling continues

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@zapwatt nah you are actually not schooling me haha. keep thinking you are buddy. Hendrix, The Who, countless other bands have trashed equipment. You are just a fucking moron and some elitist cunt.

[zapwatt]

@SludgePunkGrunge

I love how you keep missing the point and simultaneously changing the subject.

Hendrix, The Who and "countless others" <----all trashed their OWN EQUIPMENT and didn't try to inflict injury upon the paying customers. What we see in this video is a young Mark Lanegan destroying gear that does not belong to him against the repeated requests of the gear's stewards to stop and for the cherry on top he shows a disregard for the safety of others.

Don't forget to invite me over!

[ScreamingTree3000]

@zapwatt since when were rockers supposed to act like proper gentlemen anyway? you're making this into a bigger deal than what it really is. others have done much worse, he didn't bite a dove's head off or throw a chicken off stage to get torn up. it's a rock concert not the fucking ballet.

what a load of fun you must be to have around

[zapwatt]

@ScreamingTree3000 Believe it or not, I think it is you who needs to relax, have a beer & chill the fuck out. You're the ones being uptight about this whole thing.

#1 I have a different opinion than you do; so get your dick tied in a knot?<--beyond lame.

#2 "proper gentlemen"???<----don't change the subject. I never suggested that musicians had to wear a black tie. All I'm saying is if I really want to smash up your car for fun & you ask me to not do that, I should respect your property.

[ScreamingTree3000]

@zapwatt My dick is tied up in a knot? I clicked on this video to enjoy it and not bitch about what I saw. if anything, that is what's beyond lame. On top of that you're acting like a prick, I'm all for a good conversation but your attitude is preventing that from happening. So you know how to spell Bon Scott correctly, good for you.

as for the video itself, I get your point. I disagree with what you say, but I'll end it at that.

[mydaughterisatard]

@ScreamingTree3000 & @zapwatt Get a Room

[SludgePunkGrunge]

@zapwatt how do you know they never trashed equipment that did not belong to them? haha get real. You're just a bitch =)

[danswon]

haha from 7:50 is hilarious

[vectorialalo]

what the hell happened?

[777Lateralus]

@iamaladycanyousaveme lanegan kicks ass, he's just fucking shit up and anyone who gets in his way he threatens and tells them to back up. he didn't hurt anyone, and you are a queer for defending the douche stage crew. they obviously suck

[Ekyvvsaq]

@777Lateralus why would the crew be douches?!? They were fine until they started to destroy the speakers, wich they off course own, im confident they wouldnt care igf they were only smashing their own gear.

[Honeytrip420]

what song is this called?

[germansillies]

good to destroy the guitars, but the amplifiers, he could kill someone, ha ha, this looks sillie and stupid, anyway the first song is good, how is it called?

[CommanderC00L558]

@germansillies Change has come.

[SilentAlien55]

@iamaladycanyousaveme fuck off go listen to the sex pistols.....

[motorfly]

what an asshole. lanegan .

[alegrahs]

I keep replaying the part where Lanegan gets literally thrown off the stage..it's so satisfying. I mean-love the music....but a swelled head has nothing to do it. I lost some respect for that band

[777Lateralus]

@alegrahs swelled head? he's prob high on junk you idiot, and it still takes 3 + security personel to get him offstage. lanegan kicks ass, since you find this satisfying you would prob also enjoy sucking a fat cock and listening to the newest coldplay album, faggot

[CommanderC00L558]

Totally fucks up the lyrics, XD

[porsaspersereika]

hahaha i didn't expect an end like this :D fucking lanegan

[milliemom50]

lol

[ghostwhiskey]

i wish people would stop using the word "grunge" its a media word that most of these bands resent

[solonify]

@ghostwhiskey  Ok, sorry.... :)

[ghostwhiskey]

@solonify you can say that word as much as you want;)i show favortism towards you,but us americans should know better lol

[solonify]

@ghostwhiskey Thanks sweetie but Swedes should perhaps know better too. It´s just that it is a very useful word, everyone knows exactly what kind of music you´re talking about when you use it.

[IamDaCook]

What originally set him off?

[mrmrscosanostra]

fuck oofffffffff.

[CommanderC00L558]

Name of the song?

[LimbaDeVierme]

@CommanderC00L558

"Change has come"

[unclebeasley]

Wow

[TheM79blooper]

mark lanegan is jim morrison reborn

[spoonlamp]

Weird watching this today...

[janhynekjh]

This is real Grunge

[red157]

Oh bless ya' Mark.

He's off the drugs now and touring more than at any other point in his career. A God among slightly higher pitched men.

[ghostwhiskey]

@red157 "higher pitched men" lmao

[Ennio6pack]

Rock show!

[Zeric47]

Both funny and sad at the same time. Fucking hell a little bit different from the show I saw in Belfast last week.

[allansc87]

GRUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!! \m/

[crapsody]

rock n roll, baby!

[grindhouse11]

i wish i had seen that with my own eyes !!!

[BigCheeseMC26280]

Fuck yeah!!

[saveyours0ul]

now thats a loyal band, you're singer starts throwin shit, join him!

[dantesevere]

Fuck Yeah!! Real Rock!!  "Change has Come"!!

[solonify]

He´s a sweetheart... I can´t believe he did that back then! I bet he regrets it.

[dctalker]

thats why you don't do drugs, kiddies

[sasvite]

fuck yeah Screaming Trees Rocks!

they really kick ass...

[PHermansson]

It was a cool festival back then, this was the only violence I saw at the -92 festival.

[swagled]

There is a great interview on TimeForLightDotCom about this scene, here isa bit of it...What was your most Rock 'n' Roll moment over the years to completely unhinged debauched excess and general bad behaviour? Gary Conner: Undoubtedly the 1992 Roskilde Festival in Denmark. The scene quickly degraded into a Who-like orgy of instrument destruction Barrett smashed his drums, I smashed my guitar and Van must have smashed something too. We got off stage and ran. There is video of this somewhere

[FruitCakeReaper]

lol too much pretending to hit goin on there mark....... he looked dangerous with the mic whiplashin moves.... but goin in with the fists he looked like a giant bambi deer ....stumblin about on those lanky legs...... lol he probably would look scarier up close tho especially to the crew

[Dmitrii1399]

Yeah Mark,come on,show them!

Well,they're the spirit of their time anyway!

[mreddy0]

:[]

My best friend's is mark lanegans nephew :D

[eamamitipago]

You're kidding...don't you?!

[mreddy0]

Nah :p.

It's awesome.

[ladykatey]

Well then go dig up some dirt on him to post online! Baby pictures or something! (Mark not the newphew.) :)

[ghostwhiskey]

@mreddy0 ok,you have to tell me about that,its too weird of a claim to not be true

[Kebabage]

I'd love to know what the band think upon watching this video!

[Denco83]

Wow - they really did teach Nirvana everything.

[solveig1759]

Exciting but quite scary too . What a contrast with nowadays, being the perfect gentleman with Isobel Campbell .

[WarpxD]

Solid band

[klopapierpimperer]

xD all the pussys running at him and they like:"please dont hit me !"

[Dina9000]

Truth

[mikewines68]

iS IT AN URBAN MYTH OR REALITY THAT MARK LANEGAN WAS YOUR TYPICAL JOCK HIGH SCHOOL TOOL UNTIL HE HAD AN ACID TRIP AND AN EPITHANY THAT TOTALLY 180ED HIS LIFE AND HE STARTED PLAYING MUSIC?

[ghostwhiskey]

@mikewines68 its pretty well known that mark was a jock,i dont know him so i dont know how "typical"he was but ive often read that baseball was his main sport,being a pitcher,i also read that he was his highschools quaterback but that he didnt like football as much

[rainquen]

Now thats a strop!

[ghostwhiskey]

@rainquen whats a strop?

[rainquen]

@ghostwhiskey Strop = tantrum.

[ghostwhiskey]

@rainquen cool,thanx,speedy response too:)

[oh8seven]

Can't handle his booze.

[cokboydeluxejr]

Fuckers better learn to stay out of Lanegan's way.

[treezrok]

Truly inspired. Fucking awesome. Get it right soundman!

[masataka986]

ahahah....ridiculous

[LadoJMR]

That was great!!!

[WastedLifestyle]

GRUNGE NOT DEAD

[redufit]

massive

[ghostwhiskey]

cant tell he if was having fun or having a fit

[QueenConsternation]

wow...on many levels.

[lasnot]

mark lanegan is fucking babe

[yaelimen]

now I know why he doesn't move on stage.

[TGHoplite]

He really made an ass of himself in his earlier years, haha

[gixbit1]

I was there. I was a bit sad then because I had been looking forward to the show a long time and Lanegan came out very high. But it's quite fun to watch now.

It was a great festival with Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Helmet among the bands on the bill.

[MissSnickers]

what the hell was that!?

OOOO:

[grungecohlic]

HAHHAAH YEA FIRST TIME i SEE ST WILD IN CONCERT!!!!

[ombelicodivenere]

Long Live Grunge!!!

[nickypeeps]

i can only imagine that he was high out of his mind to be that determined to push that PA into the audience. my favorite part about it is that he could barely lift it, but hes no quitter

[SodomaSunrise]

Fucking awesome

[RHutton2710]

The 'trees were so cool live: kind of like the Fluid, you just don't get how explosive they were on a couple of their records. Does anyone know what the first song was? I can't make it out.

[pikecpokec]

change has come from change has come SUB POP 1990

[RHutton2710]

Thanks pikecpokec: very much appreciated.

[pikecpokec]

poison ivy hit the point

[zippywaite]

[Papatorrejano]

Pretty fucked up which is amazing.

[eamaitipago]

Roscio, nun te riconosco...più! E te dirò...nun me dispiace affatto!!!

[ExSense]

crazy sob! I would have liked to see him those days.such a unique voice

[hashbrownman]

hahaha

No wonder he's a little calmer onstage these days.

[TheArcaneAngel]

Now this is grunge. F**k yeah. You wouldn't see those girls from Nickelback doing this.

In the end it takes three of those pussies to stop Lanegan.

[caralhovoador]

RIGHT ON MAN

[ghostwhiskey]

@TheArcaneAngel nothing can stop him,soory for being 2 years late

[ghostwhiskey]

@TheArcaneAngel sorry*

[grnggrl]

LMAO!! This was great!!!!!!!!!!! You better watch out boy; Lanegan's gonna get you!!

[eamamitipago]

I'm only waiting for it to happen...ihihihih!!!

[ThoughtScientist]
