what year is it from?

[MARXA123]

@ignas4248 1995

[yancybutler]

Hawkins is cool and all but I'm here for the person who wrote the song and who is singing it- Alanis Morissette. Passion and conviction.

[bailincbro]

like this if your watching this cause of taylor hawkins!

[musimarcel]

@bailincbro What about the bassplayer. Also just awsome! In fact the whole band during the Jagged little pill tour!!

[EricIvar]

@musimarcel Yeah - that guy is doing a good job of playing Flea's part.

[luiscurtolo]

Pearl Jam's Dave Abbruzzese must have been an influence to Hawkins playing here.

[MLplayer78]

@luiscurtolo fuck abbruzese. he doesn't even have groove. Hawkins shit on his playing before he even joined the foo fighters

[luiscurtolo]

@MLplayer78 ahahhahahahahahha abbruzzese doesnt have groove? thats THE most stupid and ignorant shit i ever heard about drumming. how did u come up with that dumbass? he ONLY had groove, he was a funky motherfucker, how can u say he didnt have groove, and even that taylor was shit on this? are you retarded or what?

abbruzzese no groove... yea right...

/watch?v=yMffz3KnvuA try this ahahha

no groove hahahah soo stupid.

cheers, for your ignorance;

[luiscurtolo]

@MLplayer78 i heard a lot of critics of dave, by many people, and i respect it, but this has to be the MOST STUPID one... no groove ahhahaha...

[luiscurtolo]

@MLplayer78 /watch?v=uGJzZKau7Go no groove... hahahah... no groove stupid... i bet u think that matt pussymeron drumming great... ahhaha

[MLplayer78]

@luiscurtolo what i said was hawkins shit on his playing (abruzeze) before he was even famous. your probably just some guy who liked pearl jam while he was in the band therefore have no inkling into what that band actually stands for. he's shit in my opinion, and bringing him up on a video the great taylor hawkins is in is a real dumbass thing to do. btw, thanks for spamming my inbox with three fucking ignorant comments

[luiscurtolo]

@MLplayer78 haha "no groove", u still make my day by reading it. man, u can hate anyone, but before hating someone, learn them, than hate. "no groove"... hahaha... Still THE most ignorant drumming-wise comment youtube can ever see in a coment box.

[MLplayer78]

@luiscurtolo why would i bother "learning him"? its a struggle to watch a live pearl jam video while he was in the band. but with Matt Cameron, i come away from it inspired to play. i'll admit if he was in another band he would come off as a decent drummer, but after Matt took over the sticks it made them a better band then they ever were before. that's just may opinion, and if you don't like it you can fuck yourself, cause this conversation is getting old

[MARXA123]

Fuck censorship. 

[EventHorizon63]

LOVE the way she moves while performing!!!!

[BrazilWorld]

Taylor Hawkins!!!!

[anamulleer]

Is that the foo fighters drummer? Didn't know he used to play with Alanis Morisette, how cool. 

[InfestedTrees]

Alanis rocks the mic! Great song especially with Mr.Hawkins bringing the energy on the drums.

[x3TeamAlicex3]

She really scared me o.o

[AristotleTheGreat]

She reminds me of Janis Joplin.

[segoviar78]

The besssst rockk 90s please come baaaack!!!

[DoctorRStrangelove]

I bet she regrets that satin suit now...

[dino82soraggi]

tem um resquício grunge nesse trem ai. eu gosto

[MsTeyz]

i luv it!

[maya06227]

she looks possessed...

[MultipleScrotum]

@maya06227 so awesome

[Mjollnir1234]

Jesusoustandingfuckingchrist!

And THAT, kids, is how a BAND plays. Yeah, she's the centerpiece, but everyone on that stage is breathing that same breath; they are in that pocket together.

[AdrianPants]

Props to her sound engineers! 

[RoryNoel1]

This video is all about Taylor... Fukn drumming God

[MultipleScrotum]

@RoryNoel1 LOL Fuckin retard. It's obviously all about Alanis.

[jayrod59]

Alanis is fucking great.

[crackinmyknuckles]

Taylor Hawkins is rocking those drums!!!

[00tOOl00]

powerful song!

[theripgutxxx]

You think Letterman and the crowd was ready for that when they walked in that day? Damn!!!

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

Taylor Hawkins is a beast :D

[JasonSmash187]

Suck it.



[SchizophobicBand]

@JasonSmash187 - Hmm, what a well-thought out and creative response.

[SchizophobicBand]

Such an amazing performance. Too bad today's generation doesn't know about Alanis, she certainly beats Ke$ha, Katy Perry, and all of those other lame Top 40 'artists'

[franco231]

@SchizophobicBand Wayyy beyond them!!! really!!

[pillarsofserpents]

@SchizophobicBand - well said. pop music in the 90s was real, organic, and emotional. now it's all about sex, club hits, and electronic autotune. lame.

[SapphireJesse08]

@SchizophobicBand to be fair, Alanis really was never top 40 after You Oughta Know. Ironic made a pretty good splash but after Jagged Little Pill radio pretty much forgot she existed.

[babakooool]

Judges did Haley a favor with this song. If she comes anywhere near close to this, her career goes to another level, even if the American Idol public doesn't like it.

[StewieGriffinruleify]

@JasonSmash187 stfu, you can't even have ears if you think this is bad

[spshapes]

yep 100% pure heart, solid A+ emotion

[JasonSmash187]

I only watched this to see if Taylor Hawkins was really in her shitty band..

[SchizophobicBand]

@JasonSmash187 - Her band was actually pretty talented, but I assume that you hate her music? That's a shame, because Alanis is very talented herself and was/is miles above most modern pop stars.

[jorgewhorem]

me encanta . que tal interpretacion la mejor de todas vale la pena verla varias veses claro q si

[jenko701]

funky bass

[EcoRockingGirl]

she looks high..Taylor rocks!!

[Cyrusthevirus]

The best thing about Rock Band 2 is how it showed me how good the bass in this song is.

[PrimalRhythm]

What passion and intensity. I value her honesty and various manifestations over the years.

[Loxas2012]

Damn!!!! wow...

[straightupwv]

I saw this on Letterman. It was my first exposure to her and it still takes my breath away.

[iTroll8768]

why cant music still be like this. fuck auto tune. 90's tunes all the way

[Magician12345]

and thats why they created wireless mic's

[gabfrubas]

kurt cobain on drums

[ChriyR]

@gabfrubas Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters... Not Kurt :/

[FaulFerkel]

i miss those 90s when girls were so honest & talented. when they used to write such great & moody songs. girls like Alanis, Fiona Apple, Natalie Merchant

[yancybutler]

@FaulFerkel me too! However Alanis and Fiona still put out albums just as good as their 90's work. Have you heard either Apple's extraordinary machine or morissette's Flavors of entanglement? both amazing works from amazing women.

[forgettingmyself12]

@FaulFerkel Of course. Fiona is an 'underground' genius. Alanis is great. I think both were the last intelligent girls in the bussiness

[schism206]

@FaulFerkel amen to that.  and they didn't need to dress in skimpy tramp outfits either to get people's attention, since their music was fucking real.

[ragzjunkie]

Wow.. amazing

[cariminos]

great performance!!

[MrBleacherbum1970]

Damn thats solid. Amazing performance.

[janelshan]

she gave it 100% and you can see it on her face full of emotion.... david letterman's hair was BLACK??? lol over 15years ago wow that long a** time ago thank you for postin

[andrewwowk]

Man, she was one of the last pop stars who could ACTUALLY sing. R.I.P. actual talent.

[TrishtheDishNY]

why do i think she's a female version of dave grohl?

[Yokonono99]

Damn, all that energy..

[Sorcoral]

that was one crazy bitch...those were some good days

[Sorchify]

Someone call the exorcist!

[belenfx]

I feel so identified with this song that I cannot stop listenig it

[patrickmgaddis]

I was born in 1995!

This song is old!

[MRG2112MGV]

BS American TV... up there in "the Land of the Free"... where even Artistic Expression isn't Free... forget anything else... and this Generation of Apathy who could Change This, sits around playing Mafia II... America... what a Joke... They say "Love it or Leave it... So I left.... and so glad I left. --- Hey Young People! -- It's Your Fight now... Get Up off your Butts and Change Things! -- My Generation DID, you You Reap the Rewards! --- Demand Artistic Freedom!

[AndiFlyersfan]

Great performance. I saw this crew play live at the Roskilde festival in 1995, Taylor rules.

[licmy3balls]

thanks so much for posting! i cant believe it doesnt have more views. great song, really takes me back.

[vytildie]

She LOOKS as Crazy AS HELL by the end of THIS! FOR ALL Women, you have BEEN here or you WILL BE! We should ALL send her a dollar when we hear this and it reminds us of The BASTARD- ASSED SON OF A BITCH that did it to US! GO 'HEAD GIRL! SING YOUR SONG!

[savemeharpo]

Awesome performance.

90s fashions are so gross... she looks like a Hanson Brother! Or maybe the Hanson Brothers look like her... meh.

[carlos9402]

Taylor Hawkins is a beast! even if he play for alanis, or with the foo's, He kicks assss!

[SevereTstormFan]

I was 7 and 8 when her mid 90s hits came out. It was some of the first music I ever liked. Still love it now

[zackattack94]

wish the focused more on taylor

[mishmar73]

Everyone in my dorm in college were STUNNED when we saw this performance. It was truly epic and mind blowing. Like something out of the late 60's.

[ColorsBright]

If only 3% of people/groups today can BE THIS FREAKING AWESOME!!!! .... WTF happened to music.........

[kurtbibdou]

Yeah Taylor :) !! Il se déchaine

[mndrnuts]

Was just singing this song on Rock Band 2 and remembered seeing her perform this on Letterman, never heard of her before that but wow what an impact she made on me that night, went out and bought the CD.

[goodtimes8171]

Classic footage! I was in college in 1995 when I saw her perform this song on TV. It might have been this one -- I am guessing it was SNL. But I was so moved that I got in my car and drove to the Super KMart at 1am and bought "Jagged Little Pill". . .

[vytildie]

@goodtimes 8171 That's yet another thing that digital music has killed! If an artist could get you to Immediately go and PURCHASE the music at night, from work, hell having had to cash in bottles (if you live in Mi. :) The music MUST BE AWESOME!

[uliqed]

I bet the audience was hypnotized at that evening.

[brautigan1]

I saw this back in '95. I had no idea who Alanis Morissette was, either. Just BAM, right tehre all of a sudden on my television. I knew IMMEDIATELY a star was born. I was seriously just wtf blown away, and never forgot about it - which is how I ended up here in 2010 looking at this video.

Awsome.

[SmartAss2u]

Taylor kicks and Ms Morissette will live for ever in my heart....

[LizzieLouWho8]

Daaaaang Taylor... amazing.

Alanis sounds great, as usual.

[MsCarlosmc]

taylor is too much a rocker for this, but alanis voice is great

[matheo1960]

wow veryyyy awesomeeeeeee alanissssssssssss you are my godddddddd loveeeee uuuuuuuu

[younghoss]

Love the song, but does anybody else think she moves like the lead singer of Chili Peppers?

[FourtyNinerFan89]

It's funny you say that.

Did you know Flea does a lot of her bass work? She is really close to them.

[BoddhasServants]

i doubt he knows seeing as he doesn't even know who anthony kiedis lol

[pellchris]

wow.....

taylors drum kit looks great, dw^^

[mcorrupted]

She really blew it up for her first tv performance internationally

[ksalanpang]

wow..can't believe you still got a hold of this video. This and the VMA one were the best performances of this song yet. And Taylor was alanis' drummer!!! awesome!! Thanks!

[Jiggs46]

This is my recording that i taped off Letterman in 95

[giosmrbig]

taylor is a genius :)

[alanistamo]

what fuckin voice alaniss you rae the best

[sdfilmcritic]

Man, this just screams the 90s, but I still love her music.

[jomuel1976]

2:40 - 3:15 .... awesome build-up...

[omitox]

[omitox]

[mcorrupted]

[Schlangenkaiserin]

She rocks - I love the 90s!

[mcorrupted]

This is my favorite Alanis era.

[Charlz135]

I LOVE THIS!!! Many thanks!!

[letterman203]

[Wunderkindguy]

I remember her being so angry - I like the Alanis now.

[cartoonkings1]

This Alanis Rocks!
