The Vaselines - Son Of A Gun (Live on KEXP)

[Jacob73xobc]

this is just great sounding music love it!!

[pappymcdamnit]

WOW they're still performing!?



[MorlowKing]

Kurt has no right to ruin this perfect song.. :P

[Rickdgreat]

@MorlowKing He didn't ruin it, he was inspired by the vaselines, so he payed tribute to them by covering their song.

[AlboHabbo]

@MorlowKing shut up

[sUop99]

they look like well dressed hippies.... I like it

[theproleswillrise]

I heard the Nirvana cover first, so I've always loved it more, BUT, the original, and this performance are both most excellent.

[REPIER916]

Kurt aurait adoré voir cette vidéo....Et moi j'aurais adoré le voir jouer avec eux!!(Putain de mal de vivre!!)

[Bunee232]

I think they just had sex in the music...jk, I love this song, I feel it in my heart.

[Lvss00]

from the vaselines, nirvana covered it ; )

[ChillbyKill]

i know it's a silly question. Is this song made from the vaselines or from nirvana?

[mmmbrunommm3]

@ChillbyKill Vaselines :)

[benjaminrichardshoop]

the songs are amazing but i cannot handle how severely dodgey these KEXP sessions are ahaha

[VampireLikeYouAndMe]

I wish these people were my parents. Or I wish my parents could be this cool.

[FaxanaduJohn]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[thenowhereman100]

por quien esta autografiada la guitarra de frances ????

[Blackmetal9000]

I can see why Kurt loved them.

[DiceK107]

jajaja y pensar ke nirvana las destruyo pa ke se escucharan mejor

[lossubnormales]

@DiceK107 jajaja simon kurt revoluciono ese sonido mejor

[lostmyshoes80]

"The rain it always starts/When you go away" beautifully sad

[SwissBajee]

i quite like this, sweet :)

[RLfeye]

frances looks better than ever!

[SinWagonTheBand]

"once" movie fans should here them! lol

[89FirstBlood]

i knos why kurt this band love´t this band is really great

[JoyGrenade]

Aaron - You took a picture of me embracing Frances after the Vaselines show in Chicago, but I never received it. If you see this, please get in touch!

[CoolmNL]

sorry if i offend someone by this, but i like the nirvana covers just a bit better.

[Mixarenan]

They look like normal people.

[jadergrunge]

muito massa , irado!! Aqui no Brasil a galera curte muito esse som!

[arnaldoreed]

LOS AMO

[DownWithRyan]

This is surreal.

[juauqxz]

this song is so beautiful :|

[leamanc]

Eugene is looking much older than he really is. Frances still looks incredibly sexy, and much younger than she really is, so I guess it balances out. :-)

[russelgman]

I wish i was 21+ so that i could see these guys live in Chicago.

also, the new single 'I Hate The 80's" is pure awesome :-)

[nirvanamkp]

nirvanas version is way better. and dont say im biased cause i am a huge vaselines fan

[perfectlifehateit]

@nirvanamkp Nah, I absolutely love Nirvana, but I have to say there's something about this version that I prefer.. No idea what it is, I think it's just the vocal style lol.

On the other hand I prefer Nirvana's version of Molly's Lips

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

Hey guess what idiot hipsters - it's been twenty years since their last album. Hate to break it to you but PEOPLE AGE. I personally they both look sexy as hell and more importantly sound amazing, spot on. You think any of you are going look that good when your pushing fifty?

[maybje]

he is only 45, and looks like 55+

[Jojos25]

but have they made other good songs or have they been living off of son of a gun and molly's lips for 20 years?

[Gabe3089]

@Jojos25 all of their work is breathtaking, check out Slushy, The Day I Was a Horse, Oliver Twisted, check it all out if you're a music fan

[shoekstra1419]

two great voices....

[Stinkbeaner]

I just love this song....Makes me a little bit happier.

[astroboirap]

man, they got old.

[Erik22224]

Frances Mckee's voice is so beautiful.

[rockarolla714]

sucha sweet sounding song

[kaney1967]

im from uddingston, they are from bellshill (where i was born) a stone throw away.

[GoddessFourWinds]

Fun!

[philphie]

lol they have aged so badly....well in comparison to sonic youth, they never age for some reason

[epsteinsmutha1]

Brill, this. Great arrangement. Thanks for posting.

[EngineOfRuin]

This is just so beautiful.

[Gclip69]

ha el tipo al comienso algo corrido enel tiempo

y se notan los años n la voz d la vieja

pero sigue siengo genial

es la cancion que mas me gusta de ellos

simplemente exelente :D

[NOcherryNO]

don't like her voice...

[BIGFIRMERIC]

the vasolines are great song writers I can see why Kurt Cobain remixxed so many of thier songs, that and thier in seatle

[rfh198]

great song

[PasoliniIsMe]

I don't know why, but this song kind of depresses me for some reason. Not in a bad way, I just get kind of sad when I hear it.

[stormyrevolver]

this is awsomeness I just found them.

[BlackMonkey24]

this is amazing :o

i love her voice

[katastr0feN]

frances look sad..

[demravager]

they ended up being good friends with Kurt....singing these songs probably reminds her that he died

[kcobainrock]

Frances Even joined them on stage at some live peformance of mollys lips

[CobainJunkie]

omg, this is so bad. I don't know why Kurt liked them but HEY the Cover from Nirvana is great :)

[MatobecerrO]

2:23 error

[jesperjnielsen]

Along with the Jesus and MAry Chain, the Vaselines are the best thing Scotland has ever produced

[Gavin66627]

No there aren't Nirvana just did really good covers of they're songs

[brokendials]

scotland has come out with some great music...you should check out the pastels

[Gavin66627]

Yeah i know i'm from scotland lol but honestly the only way anyone is even looking at this and pretending they like this version is because of nirvana.

[tiewebb]

@brokendials

and belle & sebastian,peace from glasgow

[epsteinsmutha1]

Aw come on, it's nae good dismissing all the other great shite coming out of Scotland. Mind, I like both bands.

[MrGrunger27]

beautiful....

[markusfranulic]

her voice is amazing!!

[jjay75]

He's only 45...

[SeanNaNaNa]

oh my god!!!! this is silly. this is brilliant. a bit more dignified than the pistols playing in their fifties. i lost my virginity to the vaselines in the backseat of a stolen car when i was fifteen and full of malt liquor. you can't get more early-90s than that. love love love the vaselines. amen.

[OrganizedChaos2008]

THERE OLD!?!?

[Yex00]

so is dave and krist :P kurt would be to, thats what happens :P

[p1ngger]

cool people get old when years go by ;)

but uncool people are old since the day they're born

[Smashyonuts]

@p1ngger , Dude, your a genius, i never thought about it that way, when i think about it, your spot on

[p1ngger]
