When the guitar solo kicks in at 1.59 and your whole body is covered in goosebumps and you need to catch your breath at the sheer urgent magnificence of it all. All your worries disappear. Everything seems to make sense for those few brief moments. Thank you, Bob Mould.
The way the guitars move this song! The power of the mix, lyrics still the way the chorus riffs catch you like a good wave on a nice day. Wooooo....I can never get enough of Bob Mould, and this piece of freaking art noise sound.
True story, I was in a band, heard this, played it to the others and we broke up on the spot after 1 listen, we just knew in our hearts if each and every song you write cannot come to within touching distance of this sonic grenade then there's no point even trying. As another poster said, trully astonishing.
@bigredhittner Thanks. I do remember an early Foo Fighters interview in the press, in 95. The journalist mentioned how some Foo Fighters reminded him of Sugar, to which Grohl replied "I liked Hüsker Dü a lot". Now they are quite away from this kind of sound...
@84heroes1 Thanks, 84heroes, for the list. I know some of these songs, and agree they're terrific: Dinosaur Jr, Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, Pumpkins, of course. I'll check out some of the others I don't know. I see Pumpkins are loisted as doing a few gigs in UK soon: I'm wondering whether I might go ... last time I saw them in 1996 at Wembley, it wasn't such a great gig: Chamberlain was about to have that infamous night and get sacked....

This song and video hits me even more on the balls and brains whilst bein on reading Bob Mould's autobiography atm ... Bob's been there, heaven and hell and back ...
Not only that, but Bob played guitar on the soundtrack to Hedwig and The Angry Inch, starring/directed by John Cameron Mitchell, who also directed "Rabbit Hole".
This song is absolutely ridiculous in it's intensity and I agree, my ears were ringing for a couple days after every Sugar show I saw...rivaled only by The Ramones in my case. I miss the 90's.
@h8paperdoll ce morceau ridicule???putain ouvre tes écoutilles...heu et puis entre nous,le mieux s'est pas fait dans les 9O's...ça existe le" biactol" pour les oreilles?
Not safe in the car - this comes on and you're going to accelerate. Excellent concert and second only to Motorhead in how long I had ringing in my ears after...
Fucked up album, from at the time a fucked up individual (yes Bob Mould was Sugar, no disagreements? Good) and this is the easiest listening from it. Blissful genius.
@gerardaven I remember it well... It was Saturday Morning and I just sat there with my jaw on the floor. I was already a fan of copper blue but this was just something else.
see..here's the thing, now, it's all about looks and image. Bob Mould is a prime example of what happens when you forget about looks and let talent through.
Best song on "Beaster"... Watched the clip over & over agin on MTV when MTV was still MTV. First time I notice what I assume is a guy touching himself, though... Anyone else see this (1:51 - 2:06) ?
this is the most downright bad ass songs of the 90's. get in your car, roll up the windows and turn the volume up as high as it goes. what a wall of sound.
When this song starts.......Why the heck have I always to turn up the volume on my PC to max., jumping around like a Maniac playing air guitar, while my girlfriend is dialing the emergency number ? .....anyone an idea ?
it makes hard rock actually sound like A Good Idea. Bob Mould is one of the best melody/harmony writers there's ever been - so far underrated, it's untrue. Godlike.
i can't find JC auto on youtube anywere, its from the same album, so wanted to hear it after this track, could someone post it PLEASE!!, I NEED TO HEAR THAT INTENSE TRACK...
