@zkxb Actually Dave Grohl mentions often how much Husker Du influenced him. Bob Mould even guest played on his latest album (it was shown in the Foo documentary) :)
Taking this as representative of the tremendous ferocity of a great band: don't fight boys, about Grant v Bob, both are better than most, and collectively they're magnificent
oh man... the girl i lost my virginity to (she had a blue mohawk... a big deal in minneapolis 1985) always used to sing this to me in my ear. what a memory. i wonder if she's still alive.
jonesmh123: It was recorded at SST (in LA area) by Spot. That was the label Greg Ginn from Black Flag started which also housed Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr, Soundgarden, fIREHOSE, Sonic Youth, and a bunch of others.... at different points in time...
I first got this song this college radio station that would play all kinds of cool stuff on thursday's from 8pm-10pm, I would load my cassette in and wait to record music. Back in like 1996 I saw Lifetime in Austin Tx and Dave(bass player) gave me a copy of "Hello" for a copy of my bands demo "MIllhouse" and when I got home I heard this song and was like this is totally good! I have never really heard any Husker but I think I'll check them out.
I remember when i listened this song for the first time and it was a cover by LIFETIME it was in 1995 i think and that´s the way i discorvered husker du.
So I started listening all husker du stuff and got crazy cause they´re one of my favorite bands nowadays.
@inspectorcloseu that's funny, because that's kind of how I became a Lifetime fan. I heard their cover and it blew my mind it was so good. Also how I became a fan of Set Your Goals because of their cover of Jawbreaker's Do You Still Hate Me
when you think about it, its kind of like a live track... i bet they just set up their gear in the studio, put some mics around the drum kit, and pressed record and all played at the same time. sounds amazing though, energy counts.
@themagnetc: Usually my head wants to explode when I read somebody had only heard the cover of a song. You get a pass in this instance since 'Hello Bastards' is such an amazing record. And its actually how I discovered Husker Du. The only diffrence is that it was 14 years ago... lol I take it your a youngin whose going in the right direction?
i'm 21. wish i could have been around when either band was. check out some of the videos on my channel, i've been filming some underground chicago punk stuff since the summer so i remember what happened at the shows i was actually around for in space and time. lots of good bands in this city. also my band the please & thank yous has a few vids on there, you might like it. [/shameless plug]
You can still see lifetime. They began playing again a couple years back. They don't tour frequently but they do occasionally play shows. I saw them on their 2005 reunion wekeend and again last August. It's definitely a treat seeing them. I highly reccomend seeing them next time they play even if you have to travel to the East Coast. I'll def check out your videos!
@Mozzer232 yeah i knew they got back together and stuff but i was still in high school in 2005 being a bitch, haha. if they play any sort of fest i'm there. i have a friend in jersey i might stay with if anything happens...i hear they still prefer to do basement shows, or at least paint it black does
@themagnetc Yeah they still do Basement shows occasionally. I haven't see one. I got to see them at the Stone Pony on reunion weekend. And at the Troc in Philly over the summer. I definitely suggest that you keep your eyes and ears open for any activity. It really is something else to see them live. I just wish kid dynamite could get back together in a lifetimesque capacity...
totally. our label guy was supposed to get us on a show with none more black after rad fest in may out east, but i don't think it worked out (nothing does with us)
although i like lifetime the most out of dan's bands...kid dynamite rules though
