Meat Puppets - Aurora Borealis

[lafenchellz]

thanks for this, just turned my huz on to it

[hernelle]

hadn't listened to it in years, and then a friend put it on during my trip... it seemed to go on forever, so beautiful.

[radicaladults]

Tune half a step up...play c and d chord...and noodle around there...and noodle around the bottom 3 strings around 8th to 13th frets

[InHumanFormR]

I will pay someone to tab this song out. I'd do it myself but I'm convinced the song is in a strange tuning and I'm not good enough with my ear to figure out what it is. Or! Some one could just post it for free and restore my faith that not all of humanity is money hungry.

[eddshi1]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[yourmate202]

i like it



[75xaya]

Is this their best album? I'm not into generic hardcore. Is all their stuff cool wacky

psychedelic-cowpunk?

[CrazyDan1984]

@75xaya its all pretty different, just check all of it out

[googoplexable]

what an unusual song

[StraightPunkEdge93]

This song is fucking perfect.

[twirlyboggs]

me fav is enchated porkfist and i approve of this message

[babytabby]

@throwingjones: that's incredibly sad. i damn near cried when i read your comment.

[throwingjones]

I was drinking and doing xanax when I decided to eat a handful of mushrooms. I was listening to Meat puppets to high to die all night. My friend died a short time later and it was his cd that I never got to gove back to him. Now when I listen to this track that night is so clear.

[jcastorina]

0 dislikes, it's pristine... And not a single asshole listened to the Meat Puppets the past year...

[abby3496]

I cant stop listening to this. It makes me feel like I'm sitting on a cloud

[freudastaire]

273rd like, oh yeah

[Rlove4ever14]

this is some good music, i love it!

[MrMtrocco]

Only the US could have produced this group. I hear a hundred years or more of American music in that guitar picking.

[nosequiters]

@MrMtrocco like what for example names would be good because if theres other bands like meat puppets i want to know

[ozarkcacti]

@nosequiters Give "New Riders of the Purple Sage" there first album a listen.

[nosequiters]

@ozarkcacti thank you, much appreciated

[000TwistedFreak]

oh fuck how i love this track



[BadassAnons]

AMAZING, Say no to dislikes!!!

[nicolasrocksito]

Beautiful

[lifeless1993dead]

fuck this is great. music in the 60's to 90's was the best that ever happened since humans are

[NinetiesYouth]

@lifeless1993dead completely agree

[OllieTheBum8182]

why is this and everything else up to Too High To Die now out of print?!?!?!

[HelicopterHoneymoon]

@OllieTheBum8182

B/C SST is run terribly.

[OllieTheBum8182]

@HelicopterHoneymoon

Good point

[kbinco]

Yeah, I get it. I am not on drugs right now, and this song sucks!

[googoplexable]

@kbinco fuck you shitdick

[Froebs]

@kbinco hmm, I'm not on drugs either, but this song still rocks. Interesting. Opinions and stuff, sometimes they're different.

[spruceshark]

strange how some bands just keep rising in fame will some blast in the spotlight and fade away... majority of pop cultural music vs the deep and honest.

[Yellowsubmaurine]

Dancing slowly, very slowly... to this makes it even more epic

[mseiber100]

Another really fun song to play on bass!!!

[tingly7654321]

I NEED SOME DERRRRUGGGGGGGGGGGS

[MrNuclearpenis]

[salasola]

@MrNuclearpenis They´re on a European tour now- in Copenhagen this Saturday..

[Burdanciu]

il suono che esce da questa canzone sveglia i morti... mi sembra di avere veramente visioni dell'aurora con i meat puppets...

[PullMyPeeper]

it goes pertnernernera-neernernerna --near near--pertnernernera-neernerne­rna-near near...

[theenigmajjames]

@PullMyPeeper LMFBO!!!! Gotta love those nernera nernera's and the pertnernernera ...thats good stuff man

[Sogliadiattenzione]

Love it! The two instrumental tracks of the album are great.

[angryameriKun]

The guitar in this song reminds me of fIREHOSE

[DukeSecom]

trippy as!

[brainpanda]

oh, me



[brainpanda]

oh, me

[CovenantOfLove]

what timing and rhythm! Magical fingers in hand...get up! Wake up! fire and ice, tears of joy...reality! A piece of justice, or a prize for the devil himself...justice rests in action, not ease... =) 

[moewishaw]

thumbs up if you listened more than once!

[Tehan123]

In nirvana the lyrics to one song is "Someone already used the words "Aurora Borelias" " Hmmm...

[halosparks]

@Tehan123 but theres no lyrics in this song :P



[Antipopped]

[fiveyearwinterkiss]

I like the other version for some reason...

[Lenjaful]

There is a Nirvana song, where he sings: Somebody else already used the word Aurora Borealis >< Genius.

[swimjim4012]

@Lenjaful which song? i know Nirvana was heavily influenced by this band though

[Lenjaful]

@swimjim4012 Gallons Of Alcohol Flow Through The Strip, it´s a hidden track i believe.

[CrazyDan1984]

this is the best song to play on repeat wen ur trippin out on acid

[prttls]

@CrazyDan1984 thanks for the tip, currently obliging

[Dagarvs]

@CrazyDan1984 good when eating spaghetti, too

nom nom nom

[DaxinatorProductions]

@Dagarvs Hell, it's even good when you're trippin out on spaghetti.

[LoverXandXtheXliar]

@CrazyDan1984 TRUTH.

[Spidermankevin78]

this so rocks i love meat puppets hippie punk

[TheThroatOyster]

I like how Kurt Cobain used the title of this song, in one of his songs. " Somebody else already used the word Aurora Borealis."

[Fuzzydiablo9]

@TheThroatOyster What song is it?

[GrungeRiver]

@Fuzzydiablo9 Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol will flow through the strip or something. It was the hidden track in In Utero.

[rob5000x1]

@TheThroatOyster know what u mean, rubbing alcohol is such a great song

[TheThroatOyster]

@rob5000x1 I'm glad you got the reference!

[rob5000x1]

@TheThroatOyster yeah its one of my favorite nirvana songs, basically anything unreleased by nirvana is amazing

[serginaru]

OMFG so especial

[ThePlasticrat]

im buying meat puppets II on vinyl ;D

[karl5000]

@ThePlasticrat

at hmv?? i've seen a bunch of meat puppets albums on vinyl there lol

[Tallerico500]

@ThePlasticrat I've seen newer albums on vinyl recently. Although this album came out in 83, so you can probably get an original.

[Antipopped]

@Tallerico500

Think they're reissuing them,I picked up Meat Puppets 2 today for a tenner on vinyl...tis groovy, if you van excuse the bad record pun = P

[markiller91]
