Mia Zapata (The Gits)

[lakaak1200]

wow i just watched 48 hours mystery and it compelled me to look up mia. i was a soon to be sr in high school when this beautiful and talented woman was murdered. makes me sad to know she was denied stardom she was true grunge. god hold you in his hands.

[amyiy]

Club 27 ♥

[manumanuelc]

grande Zapata!

[wreyoG]

hmmm she also dies at age 27...weird that she isnt included at the 27 CLub...oh it only makes sense..she wasnt as popular as cobain Hendrix and Morrison....she was as talented as all 3 of them though....oh the irony of the human race

[feefee451]

Didn't realize she was my age... only seven days apart...so sad, but her legacy lives on through her MAGNIFICENT music.

[forgoku111]

WHAT THE FUCK THE DATE SHE WAS MURDER I WAS BORN fuck !!!

[genxer4life1]

she was raped and mrdered it took 10 ears to convict tht piece of shit

[L33tLolly]

My friend and I decided that instead of Mia's murderer getting the death penalty he should get life in prison, and be forced to listen to her music every second of every day. And just listen to the beauty he robbed us of. Until he can't take it anymore and he bashes his head against a wall until he dies. :D

[bigjerseydog1270]

@L33tLolly

and dont forget to cut his dick off

[linaJOHNs]

i'm from greece...and last night I watched a documanter on tv about Mia's murder ..and how they investigate this cold case....NOW I'm a huge fan of her...RIP Mia...you were wonderfull!!!

[Omyzek]

Lol i love her songs :P im also a Zapata xD

[kingswitcher]

The only solace I can take from mia's death is that the pathetic piece of shit that raped and murdered her, in turn will be raped in prison until his cowardly arse can't take any more....daily.

[ikarus216]

offfffff

[cjslone]

Wish I could met this girl. I think we had alot in common.

[tsavo13202]

mia rocked!!!!

[GG74K]

wow she sounds alot like Bette Midler in the movie "The Rose"

[livedinbars]

My God... its as if Janis Joplin was reborn as a punk rocker.

[sporocyst1973]

If Mia Zapata was not murdered, Courtney Love would have not had a career... VIVA ZAPATA!!!!

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@sporocyst1973 That's ridiculous, they sounded completely different. It's like saying if Layne died earlier, Kurt would have had a "better" career. They're both talented women, Mia more so of course but artists in their own rite.

[nguyenkhan202]

I can't believe there is few people still listen to her music.

[scallywag86]

if the scum of this world had one throat and I had my hands about it

I wanna make her killer suffer with a million cuts

[slaterlover]

Nice vid. I like the song

[superdude593]

I can sincerely say I can hear the pain in her voice

[TheCuboOne]

today is her 17th anniversary....july 7th 2010...r.i.p. mia.

[SubPopGirl]

Viva Zapata!

[tomeeeee1]

All murdering rapists should be shot in the head and forgotten. I know its hard to believe, but the murdered DO cry out for justice. Its normal and not anti christian. Jesus never preached mercy for cold blooded murderers. Jesus was not a punk!!!

[RandELaFountaine]

The Git Nits an unofficial fan page on FB under groups, Viva Zapata!!

[Trashyflapper]

R.I.P doll

What a great lose

I hope that cocksucker burns from within

[pjfan143]

I followed the trial. I was so relieved when her murderer was brought to justice. So many criminals get away with violence and murder. Rest In Peace Mia. You left a legacy, but I can't help but wonder what more you would have accomplished.

[ThugCoreProductions]

Mia Zapata will be remembered here in SW Ohio. I'm from Cincinnati and got nothing but respect for the Memory of this incredibly talented Dayton Girl. R.I.P. Mia Baby!!!

[04116404]

VIVA ZAPATA !!!

[mariosweetleaf]

VIVA ZAPATA

this band it awesome R.I.P

to bad another mexican american who made great music and had a beautiful voice had to get murdered she was a real riot girl there ant music like this anymore

R.I.P MIA ZAPATA

[dan2hamilton]

@mariosweetleaf i Know music just hasn't been the same these past few years.

today it just seems like music lost most of its soul to it

R.I.P good 90's rock LOL

[mariosweetleaf]

@dan2hamilton i know right i cant even put the radio on anymore im so disappointed at the music 2000 and up it makes me want to take a shit and puke at the same time,,, the music from the 90s and down was the best

[dan2hamilton]

@mariosweetleaf yea i know how you feel it just seems like music now is all beats and bass and no lyrics all they say is the same shit again and again and they only play like the same 5 songs on the radio aswell

no talent even just all producers and shit!!!

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@mariosweetleaf What does her being a mexican american have to do with anything? If you want to go there, too bad we are letting illegal mexican americans in to kill our citizens.

[havennorth]

@mariosweetleaf She wasn't Mexican. Some of the early settlers in the South were from Spain. Ironically, she was killed by a black Cuban.

[MisterStephen777]

This is a classic tune. Beautiful.

[lv42daze]

one my fav albums

[1918448]

ΜΙΑ ζωη αδικοχαμενη..Δεν σε ηξερα αλλα σε αγαπησα μολις σε ακουσα...

[1918448]

love You MIA....HELLAS

[androlescent]

the guy who raped and killed her was called Jesus

[otto22ful]

que linda lo mas lindo como canta es un sueño good this girl is a dream good band

[invisiblebears]

Brutal way to die.

[19VeNDeTTa84]

ive been sitting here for twenty minutes listening to this song trying to think of something profound to say and i cant its just fucked this type of music is the only thing thats ever really meant anything too me and this is one of the few bands who could really let it pour..........whatever happened to substance?

[MisterStephen777]

with record sales hurting the way they are, executives are relying more on investing in artists who are easier to control and less in touch with the reality that cookie cutter sure shot pop star sonic regulations are cancer for all true art. substancial artists are too difficult to predict and too high a risk to invest any money into in this day and age, unfortunately.

[dano555666]

+1

I predict things are gunna come full circle.

Rock will be "invented" all over again as with glam and goth and rap and thus it will continue.

Or the people on the planet weren't meant to live that long, explains why everything has sort of plateaued. Maybe my nutty friends talking about eugenics and governmental population control are onto something here.

[chujwico]

of course the REAL Gits rule ;)

The Polish "GITS" are an extreme-right skin-band ,with boring music and stupid lyrics.

Viva Zapata :)

[mechanicalvalve]

The dirty SOB didnt even express remourse. He just nonshilantly walked past her father after the trial. If I was here Dad I would have popped up and got in his face. So he can remember being startled by me. SOB

[62rome]

they caught the guy who killed her, i never knew that, who is he?

[chujwico]

1:25 - this is slide NOT from Mia Zapata and the Gits, but from the Polish skinheads group called The Gits !!

Mia Zapata % the Gits - delicious

Polish "The Gits" - boring !

[tvvdo]

holy crap this sounds good.

[vivamaay]

YESYESYES!!

Incredible drive!

Incredible song!

Incredible voice!

MIA FOREVER!!!

[crimsonchief]

Been into The gits for a few months now, can't believe she was murdered, it's so tragic.

[northcountrydylan]

the wrong female vocalist died in 1993.

[shelibeli40]

I'm glad that fucking piece of shit finally got convicted.

Viva Zapata!

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

@shelibeli40 Yea, he got 30 years, woopty doo. He could be out in 20. They should have taken him outside of the courthouse and strangled him like he did Mia.

[sylicone221]

@shelibeli40 she was murdered? not drugs?

[shelibeli40]

@sylicone221 She was murdered. A random act of violence. There's a really good documentary about her and the band...check it out

[robynskywalker]

Mia Zapata and Courtney Love are the two best female vocalists that ever lived

[hunner119]

I agree but we must not forget Janis Joplin!

[tygersflowerz]

and Christina Aguilera.

[robynskywalker]

actually christina aguilera is a good singer, i just think her music sucks

[RandELaFountaine]

I would'nt even put courtney in the same category as Mia, and I like hole. I don't even have a love for the genre, but Mia was a kick ass poet, and her voice is something that I believe the entire world would have recognized in this bands' unfortunate non- existent future progressions. By the way for everyone: why ever focus on scant moments of a life ending tragically instead of the pinnacle of living, what the person left, how they affected the world. I don't think of heroin when I hear janis

[RandELaFountaine]

AND.. the universe has a way of taking care of injustices. It is just rarely apparent to all or any. Trust that. oh yes....

[robynskywalker]

Good point, but the way she was killed was so terrible, it disturbs people and gets stuck in their heads. It's kinda hard not to think about how she was murdered - at least for me - when I listen to the Gits.

[RandELaFountaine]

At first I felt similar, but I really ended up getting into The Gits after just listening a few times. I don't think about it, because I don't think she was writing premonitions, and if she was, she probably was'nt aware. And, the snake is trapped, so why focus on bad , if you listen to it long enough , it does'nt have a overshadowing of doom, it's just really good music :) I shed my tears, now I just listen to what is left. I suppose I feel like it should stand on it's own?

[giannaluva65]

@RandELaFountaine yea besides..kurt wrote alot of courtneys mid90s music anyway.. I liked pretty on the inside A lot though

[Rawblah]

Viva Zapata!

[plusgloss]

some low life scumbag spick killed Mia-so tragic-fuck you you dirty bastard!

[carlosthegaucho]

One hell of a band,

Sometimes sad, sometimes sensitive, sometimes rough, but always real and on 100 pct.

Their Seafish Luisville album is one of my all time favorite live recordings.

[communistjesus]

To be honest guys, I had NOT heard of the GITS

until the tragic news of Mia's murder appeared on the news.. There I admit this.. What sucks is that there are a bunch of possers on youtube claiming to "have been fans of Mia and the gits" way back when..

[BlackMath1977]

Either that or they're punks who read Flipside and MRR. The Gits were famous in the underground (still are) in their own right as one of the top punk bands ever, irrelative of Mia's tragic death.

[paulievenna]

heh. i was named after this woman.

[wijnzot]

Well, your parents had good taste...

[paulievenna]

well, my mom was her best friend i guess :/ they went to antioch together.

[letmeouttoplay]

R.I.P

Rock In Peace Mia

[thenscream]

this is an awesome song, she yields so much power!!

[andyrockandbass]

Mia era tan hermosa!!! que voz!!! Maldito Jose! porque la mato!

[hollyzone]

courtney love can't touch this

[performanzu2s]

Mia, I hope your still singing in heaven cause We miss you so much!! MIKE

[AhZhi86Tyler]

That's not fair...that rapist and killer should be better off dead....still in jail for like 36? ya wish he would be dead inside jail...i just realized that this girl was total innocent...but her voice...my god...what a talented musicians....r.i.p. my dear.....ur music will be forever lived!

[Narutofan4life1212]

The guy who killed/raped her was caught in 2005.

[coolbirdf]

Great song, The Gits were an awesome band, Mia Zapata is the best woman in rock I know so far. R.I.P.

[dandeexxxx]

god bless you mia

[EmoKilla420]

R.I.P Mia

[EmoKilla420]

I just watched City Confidential an learned of this story with Mia. I'm a musician myself I think it sucks that I had to learn about her & The Grits music through a show that centered around Mia death. I listen an I hear this beautiful talent. 27 forever an this music should never be forgotton

[nwsurfrider]

My favorite Gits song. Mia was such a talent - it's tragic, even all these years later.

[OldDirtRoad]

God Bless her, she was the modern day Janis Joplin. R.I.P. you precious Soul.

[sweetpea64]

u know thats so wierd i was just thinking of how much Mia Zapato looked and sounded just like a modern janis joplin

[destroyallpreps]

Too bad she was raped and murdered....

[Mischa77]

good one. RIP Mia

[Jesusjoy99]

[otep4president]

R.I.P MIA...U ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!

[jt222us]

If only the rest of the world realized how much she meant.

[emobutterflylady]
