these guys were so good live it was amazing - my band opened for them in Seattle at the Crocodile Cafe on their first tour -- they blew us off the stage, it was a real learning experience of how to do it right. Huge fan ever since, still have the original Dragline press kit demo they were handing out. Great band.
Really really great album. Got sidelined big time by grunge - weird how they keep getting tagged under that here - def weren't a grunge band. Absolutely love this album - so refreshing in the way it doesn't try and be all cosmo miserablist cool - picks up on all their own space as teenagers kids - same passion diff scenario - I grew up on the cusp of the countryside and huge city - this seemed to deal with both brilliantly - still does. =)
I'm curious to know how old you are. Dude, this album most definitely was grunge. Same time as Sap, Badmotorfinger, right before Ten and Nevermind...they (Paw) weren't guilty of ripping anything off (I'm looking at you, STP) but they were certainly looking to play material that was within the same genre as Mother Love Bone (who started it, FYI) ...grunge. Named after how me and my band's laundry pile looked and smelled (well, almost all of this comment is true)
For starters I love Paw so I'm def no slagging them off on any level. I wrote this quite a while ago quite drunk too I think! What I was getting at is that they were not part of any scene as such. They were very far removed from the whole Seattle thing which had a real community element to it which you could hear sound wise in their records. I always thought Paw were kinda out on their own and this was reflected in their records lyrically and sonically. Anyway music great so screw the genre! =)
totally agree. i think they were tagged as grunge cuz of the time they were operating...and the downtuned guitars, etc. but yeah, they were a lot more than a grunge band. really great songwriting...they could have easily made the sound less abrassive, but thank god they didn't!
Max Road Rash was a good game, but I think you look back at those times in your life, because they were the best times, so everything seemed badass in retrospect. I know listening to this shit back in my teens was the shit and its still good. Thats the way life is I guess you listen to music, hopefully that doesnt suck and it provides a soundtrack for your life. Awesome band.
I'm glad to see their still well liked. I bought the CD as soon as I heard Jessie on the radio. and for once, the whole album was great! Their second album was terrible though. they got rid of their incredible drummer and had a new producer. never heard from them again.
i first heard dragline on the uri collage station they played it all the way threw i was blown away went out and bought it the next day i had never heard anything so honest and raw it was fucking beautiful and i have never looked back to me one of the best albums ever made
I've gone through at least 3 copies of DRAGLINE, it just doesn't get old for me. After 15 years, I guess it never will. Lolita is still my fave.... Death to Traitors was weak I thought. I haven't listened to it in at least 10 years. Any one think I should?
PS I have friends from Lawrence, KS who absolutely HATE them. I think it's funny. Maybe I shouldn't be YOUR friend.
Ive never played road rash, i discovered this album by mistake in a used record store, i liked the dragline album cover, bought it/ best mistake of my life
I'm going to date myself but I keep reading people say they discovered PAW through Road Rash. I remember when this song was brand new. I've been a fan ever since I first heard "Jessie".
Discovered Paw through Road Rash as well - the only band like this that I liked for a LONG time. Just such such good music on Dragline. Never got into Death to Traitors as much though!
Got into PAW from a brilliant review in Kerrang. I went down to HMV in Oxford Street / London and bought the only PAW album they had in the store 'Dragline'. The album blew my socks off so i decided to read the review again. The review was for 'Death to Traitors'. I have that album too and i like it a lot but there's no guarantees that i would have bought 'Dragline' if i had heard 'Death to Traitors' first
god damn these guys were great. I discovered them through Road Rash on the 3do and bought Dragline, then Death to traitors. Wish these guys could have gone further. Really one of the best bands of the "grunge" era.
SOMEONE CALL the doctor, hey your dieing and ya dont know it. you make me hate myself, cause your my only brother and i cant say i love you, and this is pretty hard, your not around so i can hold your hand... go home and crawl inside your sleeping bag.....
killer fucking band, this song is about his little brother that snuck out of the house late night and got hit by a car and killed, ya think ; listen to the words
I discovered Paw when I used to play Road Rash on Playstation 1 with my friend. Then after taking a break I didn't press Start and then I saw the WONDERFUL VIDEO "Jessie". The next day I bought both albums. Dragline and Death to the traitors. I am happy.. too bad Paw's no more :(
I heard them on Headbangers Ball on a segment where Lonn Friend would play a small sample of each song from an album. It was the Dragline album and once i heard that, i was hooked. One of my favorite bands.
Wow, now here's a blast from the past for me. I was about 16 when I saw Paw in Norwich UK. I'd heard Dragline and was amazaed that they would be playing at a very small venue in the UK. In my opinion a very under rated and overlooked band of the 90's grunge scene. Amazing live, sweat poured and I rocked - "Someone Call a Doctor!"
I first heard "Jessie" on a Kerrang (I think) cd sampler when I was in the UK in 1993 .... stumbled upon the album on sale in NZ when I came home, snapped it up. Was lucky they did a promo tour to NZ for the Death To Traitors album, saw them in Christchurch and hung out with the band and drank shots afterwards because I was the only cunt in the venue who even knew them. Happy fuckin days!!! YeeuuuughhH!H!!
I was lucky enough to see PAW 4 times in the Detroit in the early 90,s! One of the most underated bands of that genre! They will always remain one of my all time favs! I,ll never forget sittin on the stage at the Blind Pig & drinking Rolling Rock w/Mark Henessey! One of the best shows ever! & the roadies set the drumers drums on fire w/lighter fluid while he played Hard Pig! Fucking Awesome!
Yeah !!! 'Sleeping bag' is one of my favorite songs !
Their 3 records are really amazing... I hope to find a live record. Paw stay in the TOP 10 of my favorite bands !!! I'm french, and no one knows this band here. Paw will stay a great band for me !!!
yea they did miss the mainstream radar, this whole album rocks, i think they would suck if they went mainstream theres no market for this music, tool and Korn stole the hard rock main stream
I bought a paw cd in a record shop, never heard of them, i just liked the album cover, fell in love with the cd. good to see so many fans of such an obscure band
actually gassoline was my favite song but they always remind me of my home town lawrence kansas when i got to see them when they got started and didn have record recorded yet..
I agree, great to see so many ardent fans of PAW. They're stuff is very smart...never did pick up DTT tho, by the sounds of it I just might need to!
I actually working in a restaurant kitchen with Grant a year or so before they got signed. Those guys worked their ass off and lived for the band...I too wish they would stage a comeback.
Yeah dude, Im with ya. If ya ever see Grant again, please tell him that Paw got fans even in Brazil (thats me!). And I pray for a comeback. Happy New year you all.
very nice...Glad too here so many others agree w/ what I was thinking/Saying back in the Nineties ..Damn it ended way too soon . One of my ALL time favorite's thX fore sharing ... long Live PAW
Hi. Nice to see and read stuff from other Paw fans. Paw desserved a hell lot more than they recieved...one of the very best bands of all time. Both Dragline and Death to Traitors are among my top 10 cds.
I just cant stop listening and playing Paw's song since the 1st day I met them, playing Road Rash on 3do console. So many years passed and it still awesome. Im very interested on those live concerts too!
Thanks for putting this on, the only video ive ever seen by them eas when they played Jessie on Headbangers Ball back when this bands first TAPE came out, and that was the last time I ever seen a video of them until now. Ive always been a big fan of them though. THANKS AGAIN -arestus
I had no idea there was a video for this song. I thought that only "couldnt know" and "Jessie" had videos made. Anyone that thinks Paw was a sell out band is absolutly insane. Paw's music is simply mind blowing, from Dragline to the Home is a strange place ep, all their other eps and live shows elevate this band way over some of the other bands of the time that got famous. Paw has amazing melodies that stick to your head and just dont leave.
One of the great bands that did not get alot of attention during the early 90's music movement. I would not call these guys grunge, they are more like country rock/metal. Great live shows as well. I have several live audios shows from around the world if anyone would be interested. Fuck A&M & Koch Records for letting this band rot in their vaults.
these guys were so good live it was amazing - my band opened for them in Seattle at the Crocodile Cafe on their first tour -- they blew us off the stage, it was a real learning experience of how to do it right. Huge fan ever since, still have the original Dragline press kit demo they were handing out. Great band.
