I don't care how great a video is. If a song is great then it's great. Videos are immaterial to me. And if he's gay, so what? He plays and writes great music. I wouldn't care if he was straight. Bigotry is alive on planet earth. People who are anti gay should move to Iran. They would be in great company there. Bob Mould is awesome. First Husker Du and then Sugar. He has some great songs to his name. So, those who don't like him please face east outside and take a piss while the wind blows west.
Bob always mixes his vocals too low, and muddies them up with BG vocal layers! "Workbook" is the only album where his great lyrics stand out, because they are UP FRONT! I wanna do a audiological scan on this guy's hearing!
In addition to being a monster guitarist, Bob Mould is also a good keyboard player. After listening to this several times, it occurred to me that he's playing a keyboard on this song (not a guitar!). I just wish they'd film him actually playing the damn thing!
The apotheosis of modern rock. "'Alternative rock" is a corporate-created pussy marketing term designed to create feelings of inferiority -- the way every single product is sold everywhere in the world.
The main riff is a 3rd fret G-C-D, then modulates to bounce between 6th fret Bb-Db at 1:08 and ~2:00 (haven't quite worked out the walk-down). It sounds like he's playing harmonics with his index finger. I love the overdriven sound of this song - sounds like he's got the neck firmly planted in the amp the entire time.
you are correct- i think grohl has carried on in a cobain spirit, and i have the utmost respect, and in his interviews he acknowledges his FRIEND.
I will always defer to the HUSKER dudes however. Check out bob's newest effort (not the techno crap i guess he felt he had to produce for a certain audience).

what a great song, but damn it, the video is horrible. if bob mould starred in his own circa-1990's sitcom, this would be the opening sequence.

@Chickenpainter111 Spot on ! I always thought early Bob Mould and cheesy '90s sitcoms were the perfect match.

One of Bob's really best tunes. Great sidesteps in the harmonic progression; just unexpected and a barely disguised aggression!
