Alkaline Trio - '97

[demoforest]

I've got a boner the size of a cadillac! 

[LoudnOut1]

thanks for uploading this version, its dirty in a good way

[canadiansoviet]

All the comments on this page made me so happy. Alkaline trio is my all time favorite band. Most people used to make fun of me for it. calling me emo, etc. Matt Skiba is so fucking awesome. I love this band. And everyone else on here who loves them. HAIL THE TRIO!

p.s my alkaline trio tattoo is the most beautiful marking on my body.

THORN IN MY SIDE

[youdontknow1t]

this song is about weed and his probation he got or some shit

[canadiansoviet]

@youdontknow1t

i would like to add by saying that '97 was the year he was arrested. I could be wrong though. Most people think it's about a girl. ha

[TheFearlessGFX]

@canadiansoviet '96*

[Alk3ohol]

@TheFearlessGFX It could also be 95'. It all depends on what month of 1997 his probation ended.

[352hardcor]

this is just just good musicianship.......yea.

[MrPunksrus]

i am going to buy this album for the third time again ... maybe

[elgrungetta]

i had this album, it's all scratched and barely audible...thanks for uploading..best song ever!

[EaglesHockey519688]

its about him being on probation for possession of weed for 18 months.

[bocky937]

@EaglesHockey519688 No it's not jack-ass!

[stealingjuly]

@bocky937 I was also under the understanding that the song was about weed...

[ochkispat]

YouTube keeps removing all their songs!! They removed My Friend Peter, they removed Bleeder... They BETTER not remove anymore songs or they got another thing coming!!!

[jdennison240354]

is this version newer or older than the goddammit version?

[brenhampsten]

@jdennison240354 this song wasnt on goddamnit

[brenhampsten]

@jdennison240354 well its not on the original is what i meant

[alk3oholic]

Oh Matt.... You don't deserve whatever they've done to you. (assuming it's bad)

[davysk8in69]

big wieners.

[tmnnerd]

there we go, 97 likes.

[Alk3ohol]

I DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!!!

[alkalinezombie]

i didnt know what it was about till i heard him talking about it. afterwards i listened to it again and you can totally tell its about smoking weed. its songs like this that show what lyrical geniuses they are

[khristul00]

@stroudpants  oh yeah??

[stroudpants1]

this songs about weed

[MrRTNYE]

greatest song! most ppl dont know what hes really singing about... ATRIO <3

[StrawberryAnalysist]

Nothing beats 3 glorious flasks of sodium hydroxide... nothing. 

[alkaline3trio3is3god]

my name should say it all

[squashandstretch]

alkaline trio was a great band, but now theyre one of the worst on the planet. FUCK ALKALINE TRIO AND THEIR NIKE SHOE DEAL

[alexvananrooyyy]

@squashandstretch you love dick

[punkCDsampler]

@alk3oholic Judging by your profile, you don't have a dick, so please shut up.

Or at least understand that that kind of speech is sexist.

[schobox77]

i have three trio tats

[king1of3rain]

@schobox77 lol, so do i

[DANNY8939]

great song brings back alot of good memories! had it on cassete back in the day! makes it sound even more raw. Dig it!!!!!

[Tearsofromance]

One of the very first AK3 songs i learned on guitar, amazing tune.

[Tearsofromance]

@Tearsofromance ALK3*

[notRELEASEDtoPUBLIC]

Jesus Christ this song makes me want to explode. It runs through my veins and, like IDK... it's fucking good!!

[kenobi1robi]

i love bands like zeppelin, radiohead, and all sorts of other things of the like. as much as i love music, i wouldnt even consider this music: its the manifestation of musical perfection. its raw, theres feedback, and some of the chords are a bit off. BUT ID NEVER HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY! ALK3 is the best, hands down

[InTheLBC]

one of my favorite songs EVER!

[sethm97]

@persiandude6 thanks for the info man

[tuckerobaker]

the self titled alkaline trio CD is perfect... musically, you could not hope for more...

[sethm97]

is this a diferent version from the bonus track on goddamnit....?

[persiandude6]

@sethm97 your talking about the 2008 remake of goddamnit. this is the original from 1997.

[Incepti0n]

RIP pissed-off Alkaline Trio.

[blackrider42]

this song just makes me think wow.....they are still the greates band in the world

[MistaMANG]

When you've got a pockmark on the epidermis surrounding your own right kidney and your dad has one at his left, you're probably the right Navy Seel to get the job done. I'm just looking for another kind of rite. I've got a right to assassinate a hip hop star. I am looking for that rite on the internet. JESUS FUCK, THIS IS THE KID THAT GORILLAZ WROTE ABOUT BLOWING UP THE FUCKING PENTAGON WITH BILL CLINTON AND PROPAGANDHI. Chelsea never got raped to my knowledge. GIVE ME THE ACID OR I WILL TAKE IT

[MistaMANG]

@MistaMANG I WILL TAKE THE ACID WHETHER I GO RONIN LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING GANGSTER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP A VAMPIRE WITH AN OFFSET AND HIS POWERVIOLENCE. You've got your pathetic little halfwits to ask me if I am homicidal at MHMR. I am a military operative in the name of Psychological Operations by GOD. Don't joke about Chelsea. TERRORIST STATUS REVOKED, YET I'M GETTING IN THE SHIT NOW AIN'T I? I WENT TO TREATMENT. I THANK... YOU NAUGHT, FUCKING FLOCK OF BLINDED SHEEP PUFF PUFF PUFF.

[MistaMANG]

Straight Edge Emo Hip Hop Kid... I could kill you to this song Dan Keyes.

[AmandaaaSkiba]

best band on earth. you can listen to them a million times and never ever get sick of them.

[scroooch]

This must be the greatest album cover of all times!

And the entire album is flawless!

[stickygreenfingerz]

A little bird told me this song is about being on probation and not being able to smoke. One of my favorites

[yubbone]

@stickygreenfingerz you should stop talking to animals, you won't have many friends if you keep that up

[stickygreenfingerz]

@yubbone i lol'd

[scootsmacgee]

@stickygreenfingerz To me it definably seems like his constant struggle with the needle, outside a show in St Pete, my friend and I had a bubonic blunt of just some Octane shit, and he said yeah he would smoke, but then went inside, and did not proceed to come out, in his songs he often fights with coke and opium, good and evil and the probationary period you are talking about is of that of a "girl" & the "thorn in his side the size of a Cadillac" is the need to find "his little needle"

[Incepti0n]

@scootsmacgee

So you're saying hes a heroine addict?

[scootsmacgee]

@Incepti0n no not at all, I am saying life was tough back in '97 which was what almost 20 years ago? He even personifies his breakup with methadone and heroine on his new album, and in Demos, it is real dark, not to mention heavens and "another night with my head in the oven simmering like a heat wave over you sweat drops down hit the bottle blood drop lets cook like glue.." he has a constant on and off relationship with....

[redef1ne]

@scootsmacgee 20 years ago? Seriously? It's 2010. Try 13 years. Bit of a stretch to reach 20 there, man.

[doghousehobo]

@scootsmacgee My Little Needle isn't about drugs at all my friend.

[punksk8rdude777]

I LOVE THE RAWNESS OF THIS SONG

[alk3forever]

Well my favorite song is as you were.....!

[FessaaDaBomb]

I hate when they "Sport" New albums at their concerts. Not enough off this Album. Athough....... Yesterday, they played this and.... Radio.... No Bleeder or Nose Over Tail... Which was a bummer.

[alk3adrienne]

this song you listen to over and over and just keep drumming along. GREAT song when you're drunk and wanting to sing at the top of your lungs. I go crazy with this one<3:)

[itsOK2useTongues]

this is pure, true, amazing alkaline trio.

the kind of stuff you can't stop listening to.

It blows me away

[Jb72987]

yesa

[ascheier]

Best Alkaline Trio song by far. This song is so fun to rock out to.

[drowninmysleep]

best Trio song in my opinion!

[luckysmokerings2]

i second that.

as a guitar player myself and diehard alkaline trio fan, it makes you appreciate this song even more.

the lyrics, melody, progressions, sound, etc.. , this is raw, uncut alkaline trio you're listening  to right now!

i'll never regret my 2 tattoos of alk3.

[mootmon1791]

I agree, this is a great song to play on guitar. Thats awesome that you have 2 alkaline trio tattoos

[crassisdead]

Totally. When I first heard this song I thought it was nothing special, but when I gave it a couple more listens I couldn't stop listening to it. Definitely in my top 5 Alkaline Trio songs.

[tylergiffin]

@luckysmokerings2 I cant wait to get my first. I want the heart and skull going up my ribs beneath my heart. Best band in the world.

[AhOmELeSsChild]

@luckysmokerings2 Alkaline Trio is my favorite thing to play on the guitar, and no matter what I write, it ends up being influenced by these guys. :P

[kenobi1robi]

@luckysmokerings2 i got one (their hear logo) just above my left elbow. it was done with a sharpened staple and home-made ink, done painstakingly by hand by one of my buddies. i will never regret it, ever... unless u count not getting it big enough.

[VomitGodz]

@luckysmokerings2 only 2? homie, i got 3. i got my knuckles, left forearm, and my left nipple, right over my heart. yeah, my actual nipple

[tuckerobaker]

@luckysmokerings2 got a whole half sleeve to the mothafukas with the lyrics to cooking wine :) troopers here bro! and yes a die hard alk3 fan said "bro" :)

[Mantorp86]

totaly agree :D
