The Jesus Lizard - Boilermaker

[AUSROTTENY2K]

I can't make out one word he's saying but this is the fucking most awesome song I've heard lol

[maosaytounge49]

one of the best front men of all time

[monkeymagoo47]

No idea what the fuck is happening but I kinda like it

[BRUNOAZIZ]

best song ever made!

[HerBlackWings12]

Your right vlock1. I guess I want to share with the world wonderful music like The Jesus Lizard, but most people won't get it. I don't mind hoarding those musical gems to ourselves!

[HerBlackWings12]

I don't understand how Nirvana made it so big and The Jesus Lizard didn't. Don't get me wrong, Nirvana is good, but really fuckin' overrated!

[vlock1]

@HerBlackWings12 Dude, people were barely ready for Nirvana. I mean, beyond Nevermind. I'll never forget hearing how unlistenable In Utero was that whole summer before it came out - christ, NME would have had you think it was more caustic than early Einsturzende Neubauten. And then it came out, and it was pretty much a pop record. Most people will NEVER like music like this. Fuck it, all the more for us, you know?

[3206m]

@vlock1 yeah, it's kinda weird how people do what they are told, what's gas (Irish vernacular for funny/amusing) is In Utero contains references to this very susceptibility in the masses. Ah well. JL top live band I've ever seen.

[TheGreaterGood80]

@HerBlackWings12 the Melvins made it possible for Nirvana to exist in the first place, yet I don't remember anyone listening to Houdini in high school, or Liar for that matter

[Vladhos]

Cheers!

[itsthearistocrat]

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

[annefrankisaho]

This is how to start an album. Basically, "wake the fuck up."

[BrendanRockStar]

Thank you jesus lizard, for restoring my faith in music.

[dubspell]

why is puss labeled a "Nirvana" Song?

[youknowyourrite1]

@dubspell where the hell did you here that? i'm pretty sure the two bands just shared an ep.. puss/oh the guilt.

[badweasel77]

@youknowyourrite1 your right mate it was a split single

[damirobad]

I get chills every time i listen to this track... and i mean every time!!! Amazing!!!

[MonstrousMouse0]

Best opening second of any song, ever. "HUH!"

[beachboundforever]

FUKCING BEAST!!!

[BeckMCS9876]

ah this song just makes me want to inject heroin into a babies skull then crack it open fill it with jello and skull fuck it. Just seems like the right thing to do.

[pioughd87]

hey nirvana505primus, is there any chance you could upload slaveship?

[jek21]

goddamn this song rocks

[Lasterious]

good band

[woobiehastelly]

not sure if want :/

[MagnificentFiend]

Sheer exhilaration.

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

Nice fucking shit.

"Duane Denison plays guitar pretty good. Mac McNeilly is a heck of a drummer. David Wm Sims sure pounds a mean bass. David Yow is a unique vocalist." (Liner notes to Down - 1994)

[angelsad16]

cazzo spakkano!!

[qlvecchiopaiodijeans]

@angelsad16 ...ooooh un altro matto con i miei gusti musicali...

[qlvecchiopaiodijeans]

[angelsad16]

mi spiace, ma oltre i jesus lizard nn ascolto altro del loro genere..preferisco metal tipo pantera.. t cmq prova ad ascoltare i FUGAZI, nn fanno musica cm i jesus, ma spakkano l stesso!!

[emptyheadbrokenbones]

@qlvecchiopaiodijeans eccone un altro! mai provato i Frodus?

[qlvecchiopaiodijeans]

@emptyheadbrokenbones

Grazie del suggerimento!

[qlvecchiopaiodijeans]

THX!

[Serieth]

sounds like a country singer found the wrong band

[Jowellzzz]

My dad recently handed this LP onto me having only heard bits and bats of their stuff from him,

it's fucken awesome.

I LOVE THAT BASS SOUND!

Any tips on how to get it?

[hogcontroller]

Fender Jazz bas through two Dietz PA cabinets. Can't remember what amp he played through.

[markcyst77]

Nope but close. It's actually a Memphis J-bass copy into a rat pedal into a GK800RB into 2 Dietz cabs loaded with EV-15Ls.

[mrtuber132]

huh?

[stonerrobot]

@hogcontroller GK 800RB and Traynor TS-50B and I believe a Crown power amp. Also use the original Proco Rat pedal (not the turbo)

[markcyst77]

He only used TS-50Bs when recording and I only know that he used them both on SHOT for sure.

[famousashtray]

whats with all the qui pics?!!! this is the Lizard dammit!!

[mikebott]

samuelmichaud- christ, he's idiot savant. minus the savant part.

[samuelmichaud]

Ah ok. Yes i'm just an idiot. ;)

[fishingrhod]

fuck i love overreacting

[fishingrhod]

i'm sorry do i have to pass a fucking exam to be classed as a real fan?

remember this kind of shit when i was 13 and people were trying to be exclusive. hardcore is inclusive - grow the fuck up and get used to it.

[samuelmichaud]

I'm not one of these metal twats. I'm being exclusive with this because i'm seeing a whole lotta fucking morons out there who pride themselves in just knowing "obscure band names". People who go "yeah i like all the cool indie bands, I am cool like that, what's that? Jesus Lizard? Oh yeah that rings a bell, so yeah I like 'em(But I've never listened to one fucking song)."

[mcgrathy101]

who cares really

getting mad at someone for doing that is almost just as bad as doing it

i mean seriously criticizing people who aren't "real" fans whatever

why can't the music you like just be the music you like

who gives a shit about what you tell people or what they tell you

thats what music fans today need to learn

[samuelmichaud]

I understand your point. But don't get me wrong. I just don't like the consumer groups that are injected into society. They don't exist until the media creates them. Then they morph and get observed and fed things here n there so they consume more and more of what appeals to them psychologically. Some people say they like certain kinds of music because it's nice to say. They lie, and I'm saying, what's the point of lying about what you like just to earn points?

[samuelmichaud]

It's hard to find real Jesus Lizard fans like . . . everywhere i have been.

[aleksander1979]

What do you mean by "real"? You mean people who know all the song's titles, have all press cuttings and stuff like that ?

[samuelmichaud]

Hahaha no. That fall's into the biggest fans in the world category. Real fans are people who like the music for what it is. I say this because lots of people I've met say that they like them, but in fact barely know a song.

[fishingrhod]

i.e. people like me i.e. i think they're fantastic and like listening to them but only have one cd and have never seen them live and don't really pay any attention to the song titles and lyrics (ha!). what the fuck are you saying? you're coming over like yet another eclectic music snob. fuck you.

Hee hee.

[samuelmichaud]

Man shut the fuck up will ya. Like you said your self, you're fucking overreacting. I never said you needed to study the fucking lyrics or own a CD.

Look everyone, no need to take the opportunity to be an asshole every time someone makes an english mistake. I inserted the word "real" to define someone who actually liked their music and isn't just another indie rock cock-sucker. "Jesus-Lizard, yeah I like em" Even though the person isn't even sure. "Sounds like a cool name, I'll say I like them".

[fishingrhod]

buy you a pint some day. lager, ale or creme de menthe?

[samuelmichaud]

LOL

Hey if you wanna know what kind of people I'm talking about, check out Adbuster(d0T)com, go to issue #79 And check for the article on Hipsters.

Not to generalize. I'm sure some of them really like music. But the article is about a youth generation turned into a consumergroup. Indie rock sycophants.

[leep123321]

that goes for a zillion bands that people have heard OF but not really HEARD. Much like Primus or Soundgarden or Alice in Chains. If they've heard anything, it's only the stuff that got radio play.

[samuelmichaud]

Yeah but the consumers aren't just in the mainstream anymore. Right now it's considered "cool" to listen to indie music. So a bunch of cool seekers are looking for bands that aren't on a major label. NOT THAT IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC. It's disgusting. Lots of kids are also exploiting retro sounds and looks. Lack of inspiration? No more milk in the cow? Or just lazy consumer kids?

[leep123321]

How about this new fashion-hippy-trip-hop-urban thing? You know the kids who wear hemp necklaces and tie-dye with 59-50 hats and Air Force Ones. They go to music festivals, but blast new rap music in their late-90's model Volvo's. A friend of mine calls them "hip-hoppies". Haha it's hilarious the lengths some people go to to fit in.

[samuelmichaud]

lol INSANE IN THE MEMBRAAANE!!!

[mengele800]

Hip-Hop-Hipsters, that's what I call 'em. They think it''s cute and cool to look like Run-DMC (circa1985) but they will never have the balls to go to a real hip hop joint or cruise through a black neighborhood.

[skeletonowl]

probably a good idea not to...

[frytechnician]

Agreed. Fuck fashion-rock. I ha dto deal with schoolmates who were all "Aw man, have you heard this band Reef? What about Faithless?". Well fuck that, that's just not good enough.

[mengele800]

Well, unlike any of those bands that you mentioned, the Jesus Lizard is still relevant. Great music to drink and fight and fuck to.

[elmocheney]

drinking and fighting ok, but what the hell are you doing when you fuck? like if you listen to puss while fucking you're probably doing something borderline illegal lol

[tweezerfetish]

I think it's mandatory to do illegal stuff whilst listening to The Jesus Lizard. At least in Scotland it is. As well as stabbing your neighbour if they ask for 50p in the wrong tone of voice.

[christopherandrewcar]

@tweezerfetish Think the mandatory stuff is the same situation here in Portland -- on the other side of the Atlantic, on the Pacific Ocean.

[elmocheney]

i agree with everything but the fucking part, it makes me question what you do in bed with women. and just hypothetically what if you listened to Painkiller by Judas Priest? "THIS! IS! THE! PAINKILLER!!!" lol

[mengele800]

Judas Priests' ''Painkiller'' will probably make me wanna kill the bitch after I'm done fucking her. Better yet - ''Painkiller'' will probably make fuck her to DEATH!

I mean, hell, the drum solo at the beginning alone merits pulling a sexual blitzkrieg on any hot pussy.

[elmocheney]

whatever you say Hannibal Lecter :)

[doggydog56789]

your a great man!

[ThemeForAJackal138]

@mengele800 You're fucking gross, dude. Are you a Meatholes guy?

[roehee1234]

@mengele800 meatholes skullfuck museum of you

[gypsyola]

bring on the 11th of may!

[MarkusLittle]

11th may bad day for me... love jesus lizrad.... awesome

[bluecollarman2007]

go to Wikipedia and look up Jesus Lizard. That should end this conversation...please.

[Israe5l]

so are these guys christians?

[kingboon]

no................

[wordupassholes]

What kind of question is that?

[bluecollarman2007]

you're shittin me, right?

[fakepoetry]

was that a serious question?

[TheGreaterGood80]

err no

[kittenkiller69696969]

of course, isn't it obvious?

[Israe5l]

there is a difference between being christian and having christian words attached to what they do.

ug, but is it obvious?

[kittenkiller69696969]

no, but it is sarcastic.

[LittleRedMenace]

I saw these guys at the Kennel Club in San Francisco back in 1992. One of the single best rock shows I've ever been to - especially since Mike Patton was hanging out in front of me the whole time.

[wackiirahki]

dave sims is my fucking hero.

[joe24pack]

jesus lizard fuckin rocks!!!!!

[Jazzmonkey24522]

Great set of pics man!

[def911]
