[HumanitarianAryan]

[thejakecicero]

@shaun2364 damn. you suck. i was listening to them at the age of thirteen. and i had better grammar than you back then.

[shaun2364]

@thejakecicero..who cares its a new era in technology I'm not trying to impress u with my spelling SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!!

[thejakecicero]

@shaun2364 it seems like the only reason you listen to them is because other kids don't. i'm not too sure if you actually enjoy the music, haha.

[shaun2364]

@thejakecicero um i love scratch acid, i love older stuff, i luv ghost mice, meat puppets, sex pistols, nirvana I'm a big fan of them all, i just enjoy old music, cuz new music is all pop wich SUCK BIG BLACK MONKEY SACKS!!!...

[HumanitarianAryan]

@shaun2364

i know what your saying, but there are still some great bands out there. And there are still SOME great indy labels that put out stuff that is just as good as this. I just fell in love with Big Business' side project, White $h!t, which is very cool, fast, hard punk.

As long i have the Melvins/Big Business, i'll be fine.

[maxonteamone]

When I heard this song in the final flare documentary, I got goosebumps. I was so happy

[MLplayer78]

i don't mind admitting i heard of this band from kurt cobain about a son. but it sounds a lot less like "bleach" the i thought it would. its sounds more like late 80's UK kinda stuff. weird but interesting

[Androidwebber]

This shit rules forever, you can tell they give a shit. I can feel it. God damn this is inspiring the fuck out of me. I love this band.

[PnxNdd420]

fuck ya thats a sick riff

[kmishka1]

black hole kristan

[jucurtis23]

man this give me the chills.....anyone else?

[Useless2112]

@jucurtis23 it give me the boners

[CheckOutMyToys]

I want this song playing as my first dance at my wedding...

[JivemasterJ]

Dinosaur Holocaust did it first!

[comeonboeltsy]

i can't seem to play this song loud enough

[kriztianrulez]

lyrics???????

[stefonamus]

David Yow makes Jim Morrison look like Dorothy!

[lirannine]

@stefonamus ill say they are about the same

[lirannine]

this is their best song! PERIOD!

[CheckOutMyToys]

@lirannine well not really... that's an opinion, you probably have only listened to this song...

[lirannine]

@CheckOutMyToys i heard all of their albums and in my opinion it is the best

[CheckOutMyToys]

@lirannine it's okay, i prefer other songs more, but this is the song I recommend when people ask me cuz it's more public friendly. But I love She Said and Crazy Dan... and everything by them

[botchedfairytale]

this is so fucking savage, the music is really pretty and clean but the vocals are depraved...very sexy

[deafcon4]

This song is so fucking rad.

[snakpak27]

@deafcon4 you're fucking rad. :o

[NintendoSwii]

@snakpak27 NO! YOUR fucking rad

[inadovecote]

@NintendoSwii no really, it's "you're"..

[NintendoSwii]

@inadovecote Hahaha, thats pretty fucking funny.

[owne7d]

omg i am not the only one nirvana fan here thats  great

[nomyek200]

Ha, I was just thinking "Wow, this guy really sounds like David Yow", and then 'David Yow out of fucking nowhere' it seems I was right.

[RedHotChiliPrimus]

Maynard hasnt got shit on David

[savagestranger]

fucking great song. appealed to me immediately. very infatuated, atm. there's some contrast in sounds, primal and refined, that strikes some chord. this has opened up another vein to explore. thx for posting.

[lukea398]

Can anyone explain to me what "noise rock" is?

[Punk93Metal]

@lukea398

Noise Rock is a style of Punk Rock music that incorprates free-style elements of high levels of distortion and/or feedback. Prime examples of Noise Rock are Big Black, Rapeman (both fronted to the almighty Steve Albini), Scratch Acid, Flipper, Pissed Jeans and Lightning Bolt.

[hupajupa]

@Punk93Metal you forgot the butthole surfers

[Punk93Metal]

@hupajupa

Of course. The Surfers too!

[alaab925]

@lukea398 awesome?

[submissivelover]

Thank you Kurt Cobain for showing me this awesome Band

[rockinroller25]

i can see why Kurt was inspired by this band

[SDTSK8TM1]

THE FINAL FLARE!!!

[thedisorderram]

@SDTSK8TM1 hell yea

[Punk93Metal]

This is a beautiful Noise song. Right up there with Rapeman's "Budd".

[someguitardude]

@Punk93Metal

[thespecter2]

These guys sound like they influenced the band Tool quite a bit.

[YouFuckenConformists]

DAVID MOTHERFUCKING YOW

[hitlerlovedjews11]

is it just me or does david yow sound like serj tankian? just sayin

[mrfudgeyhead]

@hitlerlovedjews11

He sounds like Ian Mackaye meets Jello Biafra to me.

Whatever, it still sounds killer.

[acrobaticcyclops]

@hitlerlovedjews11 No but maybe Serj Tankian sounds like David Yow

[hitlerlovedjews11]

@acrobaticcyclops :O

[HunAtillaT]

this vacancy is still vacant

because a tenant's so hard to find

a tenant who will understand

about the owner going blind

the whole place is empty

the floors are all that's left

the whole place is empty

the floor's all that is left

[HunAtillaT]

his eyes were boarded up

when the last tenant got behind

and he cannot forgive said tenant

oh, for being so unkind, so unkind

this vacancy remains

and prospectives are all declined

because the owner's sight was bad enough

but now he's lost his mind

[CrazyDan1984]

I love the intro to this song

[madcapopel]

The way the vocals attach to the meter in that disjointed way right at the beginning of the first verse is the definition of "hook" in my book. I have no idea what the lyrics to this are but it all sounds so awesome that ultimately it doesn't really matter.

[oldschoolpunkchris1]

this is what my first harion trip felt like

[dzejju]

Fucking awesome art men.....

[Useless2112]

Rocks my cock.

[spetetic]

@Useless2112

cocks my smock

[TheJames1233]

arne't they like the Flaming Lips?

[db155678]

probably one of the most beautiful songs of all time

[def911]

Should be noted...David Wm. Sims plays bass not guitar! Salu

[kizzynicholeshow]

i love scratch acid on a sunday morning...

start the day off right

[grandmaBYB]

What are the lyrics to the song?

I can't find them anywhere!!

[texmexchola]

this song is beautiful and fucked i love it

[itsjustjackie]

ive heard this song somewhere before...it was in about a son right?

[DirectorsAccount]

Indeed.

[TheJames1233]

yea hell of a good documentary!

[itsjustjackie]

i'll say

[westdOrange]

@itsjustjackie indeed

[mrbelmont2000]

@itsjustjackie how was it in about a son?

[pang5]

On headphones while I'm on the street - god help the pedestrians in front of me.

[DirectorsAccount]

Well, freedom of speech.

[Punk93Metal]

@caberning

I guess not everybody can appreciate true art.

[nerkalicious]

yall aint seeing straight...

[GZppln]

Noise Rock really is music's kind of "final frontier" Probably always will be, it can't really be co-opted.

[ccf1971]

The Jesuits killed Kennedy.

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

Now, you cut that out, mister!!

[rukon1234]

Kurt Cobain was right. This is like an Aerosmith song only really fucked up.

[StenoTung]

fuck yeah! this rocksssssss

[cometothesabbat]

i recommend seing FAUST if they ever come to your town. i saw them in oslo earlier this year, spectacular show, included portrait painting on huge canvas, ironing shirts, cement mixer, and general madness. plus the music was FANTASTIC! how did a guy got slammed into the ceiling? shitmat makes great music (if that is the right word), never seen him perform...

[cometothesabbat]

i think this sound is here now, if you only listen closely (discover the bands). let's just hope it doesn't become "the next big thing" as this will surely transform the golden potential into a shitty reality, as with all fads. for some reason, everything that grows overground becomes corrupted. in today's world we have to face problems such as fashion hipsters. who knows what tomorrow will bring? if a commercial radio is in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?

[jesse825cool]

cool ideas.

[DRUMMERLORD95]

damn i really hope this sound comes back i'm too young to even recollect any music from the 20th century.

[Nirtallica1992]

lol

[Verazze]

Down right beautiful

[RicBassPlayer50]

Sad, really, that this only has 1567 hits.

Brilliant.

[jaakk1232]

i have this song on kurt cobain about a son movies soundtrack...

[aiiiunluckykid]

yea. think they were one of kurts biggest influences

[PeggleMaster000]

noob

[1gcjh1]

noob? that doesn't even make sense...

[mikey123xyz]

can someone give me a link to download this as an mp3 file?

[teamsopsack]

download a hijack client and record the track here to a mp3 file. i did and it works fine.

[negetivekreep]

cant get enough of this song...

really beautiful.

[negetivekreep]

the best song i think i've never heard!

[WA7ERMelonRYAN]

DAVID YOW WAS (IS) the SINGER for scratch acid not the bass player dude....

[PeggleMaster000]

yeah but at the beginning that waas the plan but they kicked out anderson then yow sang then sims bassed

[murderedcreativity]

this is art
