fIREHOSE - Walking The Cow video w/Mike Watt intro

[bewilderedtube]

I've meet Mike at shows in Orlando, Fl (Sapphire Supper Club) in 1990 - 1999; From the Minute Men, Fire Hose to his solo career, I've always greatly admired his works in creating punk-rock with the Minute Men. But specially his collaboration with Carla Bozulich, that was my greatest of influence.

Mike Watt is a nice man. Talented. fireHOSE is fantastic. I love it. Rock so well!

[toddlive]

Creative and always great tunes by the minutemen and firehose. Both Bands Rock !

[shuttie92]

i think this is an interpretation of what dj wanted to achieve in the original. fair play firehouse they brought out more of the music but lost some of the lyrical meaning

[MrMozzaaa]

what a fine tune the bass line tinkers on and on ..ged murphy...

[TheDeysiRae]

Daniel's genius produced the original, and it is great. Watt's interpretation is rich, melodic, beautiful. I love them both.

[sixfeetdeep909]

wtf they killed the cow!! this cover sucks ass!!

[TheNEWBobDylan]

Eddie Vedder sings this on a bootleg I have...s'cool.

[seekauwilfinda]

YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING SNOBS, who gives a fuck who wrote the song? So what if in YOUR OPINION the Minutemen are better than Firehose...? Get the fuck over it, get educated, grow up, and learn to like something --- or not---- being critical of shit just to criticize it only annoys us and makes you sound like an asshole. BTW, great song!

[Barbutt]

@seekauwilfinda I myself prefer fIREHOSE... just because I heard of them first. Next, I got to enjoy Minutemen. Both have Mike Watt, and he seems to be a big pull. Ed Crawford from Ohio rocks, and God Bless D. Boon. The story how fIREHOSE is nearly as interesting as the music these two bands made.

[cadencewyatt]

If I'm not mistaken the silent guy on the left is Nels Cline Guitarist supremo,

The original song is a great thing and the fIREHOSE version just shows the innate brilliance of the song, they don't improve it, you can't improve it, but through their own singular interpretation they show just how good a song it is.

Thanks for posting this video!

[PHATKITCHEN]

thanks for posting, i'd never seen it before

[7statusunknown7]

daneil's version is way better......... i just don't get it the minutemen were amazing and firehose well isnt even half as good... not trying to be mean.. only making an observation...

[chrisb4nu]

Well, if I just watched that video I should be aware since he gives credit in the interview. But, The Daniel Johnston version pales in comparison.

[DBLOCK3100]

Everybody that likes this song doe know it's a Daniel Johnston song, right?

[DJPUCKER]

watts  nos the goo

[rancher21]

no offend mate but a sick story,,,

[mahafakir]

What a nasty man and nasty boy. How the hell he milked the cow lying down with bucket in a horizontal position. Shame on these nasty people who made this video.Theyll go straight to hell.

[MrIsaacE]

just ruined this song for me

[i811st]

Why do cats that normally play Telecasters always do videos using a Les Paul? Noticed the same thing with a couple minutemen videos with D.Boon. I guess Kids will think its country or something Gotta have a gold-top to get on eMpTyVee.

[TheDavidjbell]

This rendition is terrible! They dont get daniel johnston. Bad attempt

[thename]

i talked to mike watt on myspace about a month ago.

so weird.

[dickvandickweed]

check him out live if you haven't, he'll talk to you in person. great guy.

[longestleg]

that is weird isnt it. I do the same with Joe Jack Talcum. He too will talk to you at his shows. The same with David Yow.

[thejelloassasines]

first time i ever heard the full song, i think its a really good song. recorded by the one and only fIREHOSE.

[smileycat58]

MTV censors/bans videos for ridiculous reasons....I'd like to know the reason for this video. I think it left a lot to the imagination.

[ADURG1]

thanks for posting. depressing? lotsa things are. i don't find this that depressing..it's a visual to go along with a GREAT song as performed by fIREHOSE.

[williambenton]

Thanks for posting this. I'm a lifelong fan but I'd never seen this video.

[pitbull103]

Astoundingly great band. Saw them in 1987 with X and Jerry Lee Lewis at the Universal Ampitheatre in Hollywood. I was blown away and saw them more than a dozen times. Incredible catalogue of music. Also saw them at McCabe's in Santa Monica -- acoustic. Watt, Ed, and George...what can you say? True greatness. The true "Watt-esque" flannel shirt has a diagonal pattern on the pockets that differs from teh rest of the shirt. A small detail, but crucial. Watt was way ahead of that grunge fashion.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

Damn, that bill at universal is awesome. I wish I could have gone to that.

[pitbull103]

It WAS an awesome bill. I was there for X, but was pleasantly surprised by firehose. In between, Ed said, "If we look out of place here, it's because we are." He was referring to the spacious digs of the Universal, which was quite a contrast to dive bars. My favorite firehose song that night was "Operation Solitaire," played with incredible feeling. They played most of "If'n" that night. X was supposed to play Breathless with Jerry, but "the killer" had left. Exene was pregnant if memory srvs.

[BassTrippin]

the video is depressing, but is still great

[meckerschorsch]

mINUTEMEN are not from this world but the video is a little too sad for me!

[ragnarokisnow]

the guy in the white was wereing a gov't mule shirt. it is ironic because mike watt was in there documentary rising low

[TallFastLoud]

weirdest Daniel Johnston cover ever. seriously

[tzeentchman]

Mike Watt,Minutemen and Firehose are the real deal....get them now....

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

no... really... go get them right NOW!!! tzeentchman is right.

[weirdduck]

awsome video. i lvoe it
