[deannejahman]

why hasn't Maynard put out an album with her?

[johnnymonjohnny10]

MELLISSA MAN WHAT A ROCKIN GAL,WITH STYLE IM SURPRISED WE DONT SEE MORE OF HER ON THE MAIN CIRCUIT!....JB ,

[prettynoose8497]

a far stray from her grunge roots. shows her range in creativity.

[elketematara]

dude this isnt from2009, uuuu a saw this video like in 2004..... but still the chik rocks

[sadiqsinganaga]

my type of girl

[LOLONO666]

she has a lot of charm, i luv her !

[sweiland75]

Melissa has more talent in her pinky finger than Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga and Katie Perry combined!

[MIRRORIMAGEWORLD]

Maybe it reminds you of a kick ass rock song...

[NapanTR]

reminds me of another song...cant recall which one :S

[socrates1818]

the video's way better than the song and that ain't good

[gogoutube]

my heart lies to you... my heart lies to you. follow the waves to you, gotta see it through ooooo... written for britney spears? with the exception of the beginning, her voice is amazingly weak. It's like she has asthma or didn't take a breath before singing. I like her though.

[gogoutube]

She is really beautiful. Her features, the red hair, the rosy skin tone. I think she would make a good lord of the rings elf or something.

[Lyssalizzers]

This is the first I've heard of this artist but I like her. I feel like she's taken her music back a little. Not really old school but it's sort of a NIN, Mastodon sort of sound. It's really good sort of bording on trippy.

[mihawk000]

LOVE Auf der Maur !!!!!

[tufftexan]

Oh this is good. This is REAL GOOD!

[MrLoveMusicArt]

Lady Gaga is not a plastic bitch, her clothes might be made out of plastic materials, but she is just as good singer and songwriter as Melissa. I love Melissa and I love Lady Gaga. This is my favourite song btw!

[ShallowDepression]

You can shuffle my deck clean anytime!

[crittoprrr]

People talk about MEGASTARS as if it would actually be enjoyable to BE one... screw that. Melissa has it MADE. She makes bank AND doesn't have to constantly dodge overzealous fans and paparazzi. God bless anonymity. She can actually make a living AND enjoy a simple kind of life. Katy Perry can keep that bullshit.

[smokejc]

Gorgeous woman.

[Gabice93]

Awesome redhead with a bass = Beauty

[Picoguns]

if this came out int 1995 she would have been a huge hit, no doubt, its an old style of grunge i can enjoy. just came out way too late.

[corkey04]

I need to find my cd now!!

[MrWilkat1]

Montreal girl again! The talent is always here!

[Ploskost]

Hotness overload.

[cromocarbone]

Ma quanto sei FIGA!!!!

[monikalopezzz]

Great God... I remember when I first saw this video 7 years ago... I was blown away by this song and video... its incredibly haunting. I'm sad that this band never hit it big... amazing stuff!

[99Karloff]

Is this the woman Dennis Lehane based the character Dolores Chanal on?

[maxquijano]

she is really a musician.. the real deal ! please somebody cut lady gaga's nose !

[JProhask1]

Sucks ass.

Hard, NO it really does. Seriously. You people like THIS????? Iam tired of this BS !!!!!!!!! Dinosaur Jr. Rocks This chick SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FXMAN66]

@JProhask1 I agree Dinosaur Jr. Rocks but why so bitter bro? your mama cure you of your Oedipus complex???

[JProhask1]

Sucks ass.

Hard, NO it really does. Seriously. You people like THIS?????

[JProhask1]

Sucks ass.



[VRRA4]

She Rocks!

[GreenApplePipeFilms]

Melissa is an amazing musician her musak is bewitching! I love this song! }:-)>SINNER!<(-:[

[christos1973]

Zeppelin-esque

[rookieAUT]

damn...thats good....!

[LittlexxRainbow]

Bass playing women are so f*cking hot !

[richardnixon5]

I just wanted everyone to know that Harry likes this chick a lot.

[jimwattsgmailcom]

Honestly this is rubbish. Almost teenage in its simplicity, which is saying something for a women in her late 30's. "My heart lies to you", good god spare me.

An exercise in vanity, the overly compressed guitar showcasing the absence of feeling.

[TehSneakyFox]

yea I agree a little, the lyrics r a little childish but ultimately it reminds of the grunge bands she played in b4. A nice voice imo, still as bassists I have a lot of respect for a female bassist doing a solo thing! And I enjoy the music

[Zappafan1980]

@TehSneakyFox

check out the female Bass player Tal Wilkenfeld she plays Jazz and she also plays with Jeff Beck and has a Solo CD called Transformation were good and warm Bass tone i love her

[delmoniaco]

hi melissa i finaly made my first song it's at Mommo - sometimes im shy, hope you enjoy,

[cradelofcannibals]

I wish she'd shuffle my DECK clean!!!!

[delmoniaco]

first time here, she's good but I must admit I have a crush on Sophie Ellis Bextor for many years now and I can tell it's not easy....

[KurthBemis]

Yeah! Montreal represent!

[peacefrog0521]

@KurthBemis I met her in 2004 at the State Theater in Detroit after her set (opening for H.I.M., who I didn't bother to watch), she was very sweet. She always seems much taller with her long bass and high heels, but in person she's much shorter. I made certain to wear my "Hard Rock Cafe - Montreal" t-shirt and she signed it on the back " I {heart} Montreal - MAdM ". She also signed a poster of hers that I tore off the wall. What a great person.

[splitTHEdifference]

anyone else look her up after watching the zen of screaming with Melissa cross or was that just me?

[AJWP4]

8-) whoa!

[zeppyrocks]

She was too good for Hole.

[gotmydancingshoeson]

@zeppyrocks you must be stupid

[gotmydancingshoeson]

@zeppyrocks you must be stupid or living under a rock

[rabidabbey]

@zeppyrocks Agreed

[Tommmiker]

;-) ... How many times was a heavy sea in any musical video (bow) ... hope someone will reach the land, ... ;-) not his land; but the land ... Nobody´s perfect ... ;-)

[janotosinnumeros]

I just downloaded this cd and it's fucking addictive. So good.

[rileys27]

she's hotter than courtney was back in the day

[Arkanix]

Mel rules...Cuz shes a good musician,...Shes like...if I dated chicks, Id date Kim Deal...cuz she is cool.

Plus...it's nice to hear her lead, although her backup is pretty solid always

[bratseth2]

Melissa is the best example of how todays music business sucks. There is absolutly no reason, why she isn't a megastar.

[delmoniaco]

@bratseth2 yes there is a reason, it's because she's not a clown

[bratseth2]

@delmoniaco true word. cheers mate !!!

[Zappafan1980]

@bratseth2

Dude music business sucks since 1989 or something, But yeah, People like Justin B. and Justin T. and Lady Ga Ga shouldnt be THAT successful

Just buy Melissas CD s and you help her survive and make more music, that all we can fuckin do

[DramaDon83]

@bratseth2 Yes!..You are so right on!...I sometimes will tune to a pop or dance radio program and cannot believe just how bad the female singers are..even with the audio effects they add the singers are horrible...there is something so wrong with the industry....This woman is so amazing...

[ubernagash]

@bratseth2 yes there is, she not a 12 yr that simon cowal or lou walsh then dump as soon as the next child comes along, if you notice most, and i use the term musician loosely last about year then fade away, bands like the above lasted decades look at matalica there on there 15th year, and manowar 30 i think now and i wont mention Ozzy XD. v few bands can hold a candle to bands of the 60's-90's

[AnInfinitethereality]

@bratseth2 Lady Gaga is an item. Melissa here is an artist.

[Gregwar1979]

@bratseth2 Thank god she isn't a Mega star, she wouldn't even be happy to fit that profile :)

[bratseth2]

@Gregwar1979 very good point. she deserves a better life, than those megastar idiots.

[neoportland]

two of ass!

[RodericdeBorja]

Melissa es la Diosa del Rock en estos momentos!

Melissa is the Rock Goddess actually!

[rickyandbubbles]

[rickyandbubbles]

why cant this kinda music be toppin charts no well we all know.....its sad

[MARTINBENITO]

[Puffyclunge]

Bit of DP with her bass I think. HOT!

[tornmask]

[dcardinaldrag]

15 people suck balls!

MaDM is a queen.

[ladymosconi]

Melissa auf Der Maur. I don't need to say more.

[alesitavainilleta]

pretty and REALLY talented, not like the f ing plastic bitches like katy perry and lady gaga

[pakul1981]

@alesitavainilleta you can add miley cyrus too man..

[DailyBrusher]

These chicks should be selling credit cards or diamonds or cell phones or something. What designer are they with? Rock 'n' roll is NOT a toy!

[Soillamp]

@DailyBrusher huh? if you don't know who she is read the description child, this chick's been rocking for almost 20 years.

[The84Damy]

[ernieevh]

[k7of9]

No other woman can combine rocking out and pure elegance like Melissa.

[KackeEgal]

[actuapress]

[cracklytoes]

Ive been looking for this song for years...I didnt know who sang it or what it was called...I only knew the last words she sang Ìm gonna shuffle his deck clean :P.YAAAAAY I finally get to hear it again lol...thanks for posting :)

[nicholsjoshua15]

She has learnt a lot from the master Billy Corgan.

[nicholsjoshua15]

I would like to thank The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan, for bringing Melissa Auf der Maur, in to my life. Vote up for The Smashing Pumpkins and Melissa Auf der Maur.

[Discofunkrobot]

great talent.just got aware of her recently (looking out for some decent music) and im blown away:D

[nicholsjoshua15]

@Discofunkrobot If you like this kind of music than you will like Poets Of The Fall. Try Poets Of The Fall: Late Good Bye, Carnival Of Rust, Lift, Dreaming Wide Awake, Locking Up The Sun, War, If you like The Smashing Pumpkins, than you will like Poets Of The Fall. Try Poets Of Diamonds For Tears, The Ultimate Fling, Stay, Illusions and dream, The Poet And The Muse, and Fire. I am not a band member just a fan of great music like what you are listening to now.

[DreamerM]

Does anyone remember who the hell is playing Bass for "Smashing Pumpkins" or "Hole" now? I couldn't tell you.

Courtney, Billy, you're mad if you think you can replace this woman.

[rustedrainbow]

@DreamerM HELL'S YEAH!

[1111Lauren111]

Classy,and it still rocks!

[TheDianaJC]

The only good rock girl that doesnt have a problem with drugs, that's why she's so pretty... Courtney, Kat, Joan... tho they're older...

[MMarcello1983]

She looks extremly gorgeous and she`s 38! Una preciosura de mujer, rockera, ademas muy buen tema, mucha calidad. La acompaño desde Hole. saludos desde Paraguay!

[hate420breed]

I found my new girl friend 

[outnightbig]

Sounds familliar to Burzum Dunkelheit

[IGotGrapes09]

i wish she'd shuffle my deck...clean

[Jyett]

She certainly has this medieval elegance to her

[outnightbig]

I want to hear Melissa feat. Deftones this year!

[keeuss]

she's my goddess, the only woman that i'd be a slave with pleasure

[amarantaremedios]

Hermosura!!!

[sainttestie]

super,elle est native de montreal.

[Gritalian]

She's playing at Heavy MTL? That's like Slayer fans going to a hippie concert....

[Kubzappa]

@Gritalian Dude she was in a Black Sabbath cover band, she belongs there...

[nickr666]

BEAUTIFUL AND JUST SO AMAZING WOW I REMEMBER WHEN SHE WAS IN HOLE AND I HAD A THING FOR HER THEN NOW SHE IS THE SPOTLIGHT...

[cuddlebuttons]

she's so talented. i'll never understand why she isn't more recognized.

[666Pipi666]

I love her dress :)

[MrDiego881]

Damn i love this woman!!

[machinesofdog]

Bitchy Drunk Stoned Countney Loves Band Hole

 ^idiot poster

[machinesofdog]

d'arcy is the hottest girl that ever played bass

[stone5against1]

@machinesofdog they're both pretty hot, really.

[deathdealer60546]

@machinesofdog no the hottest would be Paz Lenchantin or Melissa not that rag d'arcy

[Zappafan1980]

Im soo Happy She decided to Go Solo and get away from Smashing Pumpkins Emo Billy Corgan and Away from Bitchy Drunk Stoned Countney Loves Band Hole

Thank you Melissa for keeping the Rock of the Nineties ALIVE

[rhesuspieces81]

holy shit!

[2377thiago]

i love , girl beatiful

[lionelkarina]

estoy enamorado¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ desde que vi ese video de hole.. malibu uffffffffffffffffffff no no

[frydalovespungen]

esta chava no envejece .. se ve igual ke en la epoca de Hole.. amazing!

[wallsk8r]

been a while since i heard this... raw song.

[MrThegnome777]

It's so great to have her back!

[vpoflowfrequencies]

@theunderone1 Oh really! Well, live and learn...

[WiccaXavier]

grande bellissima sta song

[pomoxyz]

gran gnocca!

[vpoflowfrequencies]

This song attempts nothing, and achieves nothing beyond imitating a lot of other "modern rock". Guess the director has seen the iPod ads. The beginning was promising, but quickly devolved into standard post-rock-golden-age knee-jerk riffing. She wishes she were the alto Sheryl Crow, but the songwriting evidenced here does not even come close. At least it is obvious that she does not use auto-tune.

[theunderone1]

@vpoflowfrequencies

Thank you for your expert analysis of this song, I, like the other 120 thousand people came here to listen to it, but since you told us that it's so bad, we will stop listening, as we need you to tell us what is good music -.-

[vpoflowfrequencies]

@theunderone1 Why you're welcome! Any time.

[killer2600]

@vpoflowfrequencies thank you for your analysis but it's apparent you miss the point of music. Music doesn't have to achieve anything, music is meant to be enjoyed and as long as some one does then it has fulfilled it's purpose--which is evident for this song by all the comments.

[gogoutube]

@vpoflowfrequencies I agree.

[hheess33]

this song is awesome! i wish she would come to pittsburgh

[9496tull]

is it me or do i here some Adam Ant influnce in the intro? Cool Song

[fuji9991]

I love this song but to my knowledge this song sounds nothing like her other work. And I mean nothing. I borrowed her album and her other songs are WTF. She was also in Zwan with Billy Corgan

[KurtleTheTurtle]

@fuji9991 she definitely wasn't in Zwan, she played with the pumpkins when D'arcy quit

[fuji9991]

@KurtleTheTurtle Sorry If I was mistaken? Isn't that her when they do the chorus in Honestly? I thought I saw her in the video.

[beezybub]

Amazing woman, discovered her solo stuff on this yesterday after reading about it in kerrang, already knew her from smashing pumpkins and hole but her solo stuff has totally blown me away , more soon please :D

[buendnerguterjunge]

the girl played with smashing pumpkins in a season.......

[JamBass6]

good song and she fucking rocks!! Nirvana or not, this babe can pick it~

[angelicmania]

yeahhh girl

[coesjrp]

ho yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[tonfrere]

The shot at 2:59 is worth a million!

[glibglabgloob]

She's so beautiful

[RocknRollGaststar]

@glibglabgloob

oh, ja!!!

[Craplatte]

@glibglabgloob Not to mention cool as hell! A deadly combination :-)

[YourUndischargedWish]

B-) Feel the deal ... :D

[Harddrinkingman]

Nice woman, good music but her voice is weak

[beepeelow]

This sucks
