[moarajuliana]

CHUPA FÓTICO



[blowe98]

So much talent here and the audience is lifeless - a PRIME example that MTV is akk about the current trend, fad or sensation - SAD

[pedrimason]

WHAT IS THE AUDIENCE´S FU++ING PROBLEM!!???



[sarys73]

Dulli woot

[upn2daleft]

man, when long tall sally came on i jumped off my desk and staged dived onto the floor, thanks backbeat band.

[NotADood]

Neither of these are Beatles songs.

[Lennonish]

@NotADood The Beatles hadn't written any songs when they came to Hamburg, stupid.

[NotADood]

@Lennonish No shit. Thanks for filling me in, dickface.

[Thatsniperonthehill3]

@Lennonish Sure they had....for example When I'm Sixty Four was written when Paul was about 15. In fact a lot of songs that appeared on Beatles albums were composed much earlier while they were still kids in Liverpool

[Lennonish]

@Thatsniperonthehill3 I know. I follow the sun as well. I just didn't bother as it wasn't relevant to the point I was making. Maybe I should say that they didn't play any original songs at the time, but hey saw her standing there.

[GeneliaSI]

THANK YOU! I've been yearning to see this again since I originally caught it in 1994! The performance inspired me to buy the soundtrack CD, which I still listen to.

[beedawk]

whoa, first sight of dulli and all i saw was joaquin phoenix

[jankbass]

@beedawk ...same here...lol.

[fernandogrungero10]

amazing the best tribute album for the rock'n roll and the beatles i've heard

[grzesieksz]

don fleming+ thurston moore_dave grohl= multi digi bomb

[KOALAsounds]

ok this is brilliant!

greg dulli

[chopz87]

Does anybody have the performance of Helter Skelter and the end of the show?

[addylewis]

Woah man...I knew the film and that they had actors playing or miming the parts - never knew the actual band PLAYING ever actually played in front of an audience, BRILL!

Is it just me but looking at Greg Dulli on this, does anyone else get the impression the original idea was to get the actual BAND to play the roles in the film? Just facially Dulli LOOKS more like Lennon than Ian Hart ever did...

[Tchifftein]

Dave is an excellent singer!!!! Long Live to Soul Asylum!!!!

[pakul1981]

Those MTV poseurs at the audience doesn't even know how to react to this rock n' roll classic..

[dubsolbrother]

Searching for this video for the past few hours. Fuck yeah, found it!!!! :)

[lekstar]

Oh...My... God... AMAZING, rock N roll!!!

[shmoedaddy1]

WOW. AMAZING!!!

[FOMECTRUM1]

THA WAS A NICE MOVIE BUT IS STUCCLIFE MOVIE MORE THAN A BEATLE MOVIE

[yukiohanafender]

good o' times...now we have jonas brothers and lady gaga...shame

[bilbomarks]

@yukiohanafender There was always shitty music on. not sure if you remember nsync, cristina aguilera etc. Even in the beatles time there was shitty music. everyone is always bitching about how crappy music is nowadays. turn off mtv, there's plenty of good music now.

[missparadise79]

Dulli, Moore and Grohl ... that's what I want!

[fdogrungero07]

AMAZING AMAZING

[nycuk]

I'd forgotton what a fucking great voice Greg Dulli had. Incendiary stuff!

[RagingHeffalump]

@nycuk Had?!!?!? He sounds as good now as he ever has! Hell, better, as he isn't always screamin' out the lyrics.

[alfettagtv]

One of the bast fucking bands in the 90s

The gusys rock and kick asses...

[nashville6120]

It's cool! The singer looks like he could play John in a tribute band if he wanted to. Similar nose and eyes.

[Hughie521324K]

this is fucking unbelievably good - grohl mills and moore - thats some good rock n roll dna there baby

[theselector]

This sux , too many rhythm guitars just thrashing......this sounds more Ramones than Beatles.....besides these aren't original Beatles songs anyway. The presenter should've said that this was a tribute to Classic American Rock n Roll & Soul rather than The Beatles.

[e8412561]

@theselector ...the producer of the soundtrack (Don Was) was also the producer of a few Ringo albums...he asked Ringos advice.....& this is the outcome.....I know Ringo wasn't in The Beatles at the time that the film is set...but he was in Rory Storm & The Hurricanes who where in Hamburg at the same time...it's not meant to sound like the polished performers we all know....it's meant to sound like a band learning their trade, who where on speed each night...

[theselector]

@e8412561 Wait a minute.....R u saying that this band played the music for the Backbeat movie? ie...recorded the soundtrack? That's hard to believe. Also if they were paying tribute to the Hamburg days why do they have The Beatles post Hamburg on the video screen just b4 the band starts?

[e8412561]

@theselector .....yup...this band recorded the soundtrack....some people like it because of its roughness...some people dislike it because of the same reason.....I don't know why the t.v producer is showing post Hamburg shots of The Beatles.....maybe he's talking down to his audience....maybe he was thinking that if he put up a photo of John, Paul, George, Stu & Pete...the audience wouldn't get the connection.....I'm only guessing....

[alramone1]

@theselector If they put up Hamburg-era Beatle shots on the screen, no one would have known what the fuck they were, duh.

[theselector]

@alramone1 You obviously didn't read my post properly.

[alramone1]

@theselector you're right, there was some other doofus i was trying to respond to, sorry about that.

[DamageAddict]

I recorded this back in high school too. Loved it instantly. This WAS Dave Grohls 1st big appearance after Cobain died. I always thought he was still in mourning the way his hat is covering his face. Great Vid. I wish they played more songs.

[Igelishus]

Weird. such a DEAD crowd but the applause was loud

[borisbernalc]

Pirner and Grohl rules.

Soul Asylum and Nirvana, rules.

[MrEduardo1973]

[shazta88]

[20YearsInTheDakota]

The part with Greg and Thurston on the floor at the end was awesome! Supergroups can't get much cooler than this.

[aczeppelindc2908]

this sucks!!!

[lucaslmgv]

Whose song is this?

[mzainm786]

the beatles

[KalleLindholm]

Money was originally released as Money (That's What I Want) by Barrett Strong in 1959.

Long Tall Sally was originally recorded by Little Richard, and also released, in 1956.

[tarkothegreat123]

dave is a beatles fanatic

[SPOOKSTR]

Dave on drums....fuck yeah !!!

[trippinbilliesva9]

@SPOOKSTR I hope you know that Dave Grohl played the drums in Nirvana.

[lukauskis]

tributes are shit, this is kinda gooood maaaan

[oscarpanic]

thurston moore fucking rules

[GruvisMutt]

Greg Dulli is one of my favorite artists of the last 20 years.

He is both epic and extreme.

The way he tossed that cigarette.

He is effortlessly badass.

[reallifenamesake]

Now if someone could find the performance they did at the MTV movie awards, that would be sweet.

[scarletspidey5]

that poor rickenbacker 325! give to someone thats actually gonna play it right instead of swinging it around!!

[GruvisMutt]

Thurston Moore has the authority to play whatsoever he chooses.

Thanks anyway.

[beeswaxlike]

too bad they switched lead vocals for long tall sally. soul asylum sucks, especially that guy, whatever his name was.

[Hallucination]

Actually too bad Dave Pirner didn't sing the whole thing. Soul Asylum suck? Hahahahahaha yeah sure they do.

[ziggyjamesedwards]

Its just that people have very present...well, you know..."runaway train"...and, that song really sucks, not S.A.

[obamaluvzkittens]

thurston playing a rickenbacker - awesome.

[WannaBeatle]

I have the soundtrack, but have always thought the playing and the vocals were really sloppy, much like a band full of young kids first picking up an instrument. But, that's grunge for ya.

horses for courses as the kids say.

but, in their defense, it does look like they're having fun and have a lot of evergy.

[JHVH1]

Learn to rock

[sirstrongbad]

from imdb : 1990s punk-rock musicians and techniques were used to create the film's soundtrack, instead of the precise styles of the period, to better convey the way the music felt to the early Beatles audiences; "it was the punk of its day". I was going to try and say something similar, but that's just much more concise.

[WannaBeatle]

I'm cool with that description.

I saw the movie at a premier in 1994, I think. I had enjoyed the movie and surprisingly the acting of mostly everyone. I took a buddy of mine that I had at the time (he's in a huge trib band based here in LA for the past decade or so).

[DaysOfBrokenArrows]

Yeah, good description. I have the Hamburg album and they played everything at hyper-speed. It's pretty punkish. And this was supposedly recorded when they'd mellowed, by 1962.

[OropherThranduil]

oh they weren't mellowing then, it was still their speed rock punk phase, just like on all the early bbc sessions the bass is high in the mix, they just kicked the place.

[wakaw07]

I'd really have to strongly disagree! The Beatles were far from the "punk of its day" as a matter of fact the beatles in the early their early years were extremely boy band/pop music! I'll even go further and say that none of these musicians are punk either! dave Pirner and soul asylum were once a punk band way before grave dancers union but none of these people and there respective bands were punk!

[JWL65]

When they were in Hamburg before they became famous they were a much tougher band. It is from that period that The Ramones got their look and name!

[thegreyrat30]

@wakaw07 - Like many other posters are saying in this thread - you need to listen to the Beatles Hamburg tapes to hear the punk sound. Punk means many things to many people. So IMHO the Beatles had a thrashy, rough, high speed sound on the Hamburg tapes (and these were from 1962 when the band was starting to mellow). Listen to their cover of Chuck Berry's Talkin Bout You and you'll get what I'm saying. To say the Beatles were extremely "boy band/pop" is a stretch.

[wakaw07]

@thegreyrat30 Agreed, maybe stretch but still not punk!

[jpjames1]

great band

[piraterice]

He fell that's funny

[ssoultrain]

These guys just jam like dogs. So loose it's tight. Damn top notch stuff!

[27alesi27]

"You can't do your solo spot anymore, Stu..."

[mariosite]

Genial!!

[kevlevy]

mike mills rules.

[cansaicodelosnombres]

Thank you!! It's a great document. I don't like too much the performance but it's really interesting watch it

[texecution]

I must've watched my VHS tape of this video 11 million times in high school. Just think: there was a time where something this amazing could happen under the MTV umbrella.

[wolfpyros]

ah i miss thos days

[pakul1981]

Pirner sounds and looks drunk but other than that its pretty cool. A collaboration of super bands formed for the movie..

[ion1984]

u sound drunk

[pakul1981]

Whats it to you if I sound drunk? U got a problem with that?

[no1rockfan]

Pirner has been a drinker in the past, but that's just the way he performs without a guitar. He's always in motion! That's why he still drives the women crazy.

[Justblackgold]

Well he did drink a lot back then o_O I dont think he's drunk though. He's just a little wild XD

[sabii200]

SORPRENDENTE

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JASONC80]

The lead singer Greg Dulli from the Afghan Wigs/Twilight Singers played guitar on the first FOO FIGHTERS album the song is called X-static im pretty sure he was the only additional musician other than Dave Grohl

[spaceageromeo]

Awful lead vocals...

[evol121]

nice band. dave pirner ruins it alittle. cobain was picked for them vox but didnt make it. shame. still a great sonic blast. love the way thurston jumps on greg at the end.

[villyto]

Dream team!!!!

[billyvassi]

i remember seeing this...wondering when we would see dave next after kurt died..and loving how much this kicked ass.

the beatles really are a solution for anything that ails you

[janellsis]

all star game

[deepvoodoo]

I liked the guy who sang "Money" and all the "John" songs, even though he didn't sound anything like him, but the guy who sang "Long Tall Sally" and all the "Paul" songs doesn't even do those Little Richard "wooo"s. I'd have picked someone else.

[TheCrazyBarbu]

.BAd for long tall sally :S

[pared1986]

which ceremony is this? movie awards 94? vma 94?

[Beatleles]

How sweet is this? Greg's awesome voice and Dave's drumming...what a great band for the movie.

[Beatleles]

How sweet is this?!? Greg's awesome voice and Dave's drumming, what a great band for the movie.

[broadcastemotion]

great times!!

[Greevo420]

any known footage of helter skelter, i know they played, never seen it anywhere except the priginal airing.

[janellsis]

please tell me what helter skelter is...i mean i know its a song but WHAT is it?

[livefortoday17]

Well, the song itself was written about a roller coaster. . . not sure if that's what it was called or if Paul just used that to mean something that's gone all crazy. . . but later it came to mean Charles Manson's cult, because he heard the song and thought it was a sign for him to start killing people. Silly Manson.

[soma95207]

Excellent Post! Good quality! Nice to see Greg Dulli in good form! Thurston too!

[madskillz718]

thanks X hadnn't seen this in this in what 13 years.

[eatmychild]

I love how Thurston does his thang at the end.

[nattalie74]

That was great.Especially seeing Dave Pirner in his older band.Zebrina
