Shellac - Live

[SuperBspb]

No offensive but the ass kissing is the begining was a bit much.

[mogwaidialreveng]

@uberscheisse  please do

[chunkhutchinson]

Doest anyone know the name of this track?

[christophermsharples]

@chunkhutchinson 'The Billiard Player Song', it's on the B side of the 'Uranus' 7", with 'The Admiral' as the A side. It's just a crying shame the video fades halfway through, there's another good 3 minutes not filmed there. Also as it's such a good recording. The full footage must be out there SOMEWHERE, right?

[xxcrysad3000xx]

Man Steve Albini's monologues are fucking annoying.

[uberscheisse]

@xxcrysad3000xx you're wrong, and i can explain why.

[ninjascience]

Todd Muthafuckin Trainer...

[SynthHappens]

If only steve was the president of the USA. nevermind hes too smart for that.

[catdef666]

[Andyrewluck44]

@Alguhh bent

[strippertheband]

mmm, that guitar sound, mmm.

[oiyabastard]

he said that about cds  duh!!

[Surfbat45]

the average life-span of a steve albini band is 3 songs

[heitmanek1]

This was the best show I ever went to.

[CatastrophicG]

Amazing performance! saw them back in the 90's a few times and reminds me a lot of those shows, great punk diy vibe and all the rest that is real :p

[mangouldbarrington1]

What song is this? This is really great.

[heitmanek1]

It is a frame of mind!

[ValasVixson]

@mangouldbarrington1 Its "Billiard Player Song" from The Rude Gesture: A Pictorial History. But there is a better version called "Billiardspielerlied" off of the 7 inch of the same name. "Billiardspielerlied" is a live version but I think its way better as most Shellac stuff is methinks.

[silvacore]

Very good sound....Albini is a great man....I'd like if Albini listen my music...

[jaredrose2]

overrated.

[jaredputrefied]

these guys really suck!

[lostrobot123]

@jaredputrefied there more appreciated and famous than u

[AmericaHello]

Do The Lyrics Mean Anything...........? Anyone, Anyone, I dont get them

[SWISSCOLORVISION]

The Shellac singles: 'Uranus' and 'The Rude Gesture' are the best sound quality Albini has ever recorded. The recordings are super clear and precise.

On another note 'At Action Park' is still by far the best full length. I feel they sounded too influenced by 'Tortoise' at times, later on. Shellac should never be mellow.

[Shukie6174]

Just play your damn music and stop boring everyone with your 'enlightened' thoughts.

[ricksassle]

Steve Albini talks too much.

[petediesel1]

They have a fantastic drummer!!!!

[oiyabastard]

@petediesel1 rapeman drummer more bedda

[vortexsurfe]

@oiyabastard big black drummer even more bedda :O)

[heitmanek1]

I can't believe I was there. god I feel old.

[aliebi]

"the average marriage last 7 years the average government lasts 4 years the lifespan of a dog is 14 years next year 2 years from now the european currnecies will disapear nothing lasts for ever except the EX they are better than love, better than money, and they are better than animals.." I can't figure out why so many poeple think this cool and not sooo studently cringeworthy. Serious question: did anyone else wince from that intro? Great video, great song live.

[HappyTimeCycles]

yes, i winced. and cringed. and shuddered. great band/song, but you're right...that intro was completely pointless.

[solonely8777]

WOW , I CAN SHAKE MY EMO FRINGE TO THIS!

[kronier]

excellent - funny watching the crowd!

IMHO shellac are one of the best sounding bands ever, whether you like their music or not.

[LeftMetal2008]

Thanksmuch for posting this.

This is called The Billiard Song...BTW.

Fuck The Haters: they bum-out the rest of us.

[ReadFig]

It is still gooood, very gooooood......perfect

[delcielo1985]

i really like this song, i think is one of my favorites, so dont get my wrong but WHO CARES ABOUT SHELLAC?! why dont we have THEEX footage of this show, can anyone please upload some!

the world needs it. mister uploader, you would make a lot of people very very happy if you could show us some of the theex stuff from that sweet gig.

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

I do actually like Shellac, mind, just found his intro irksome. Sorry!

[cl0udtop]

greatest song he ever wrote

[NSgovno]

YEA!!!

[RichRobinson]

I wish I was at that show, that was awesome.

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

to be met with non plussed silence by the interviewer, with a full day of meetings and interviews and deadlines ahead of them...

[ariekanibalie]

Alright, alright, we get your point, office workers suffer too.

Nobody cares, though, unless

A. you make good music.

B. you've got a sense of humour.

C. your name isJesus

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

Actually YES, all of them my child! err...

No, well I like the music I make, some do - not sure it would be your 11.30 tea break preference mind. I do have a sense of humour, but my jokes are awful :-(

Have a nice day!

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

Sanctimonious much?! He is normal?! Exactly how? He couldn't be less down to earth if he tried...can you imagine him going to interviews and being asked "so, what skills do you think you have to offer us?" he would probably come out with something like "well alot of people don't really understand skills, and their skills, around x % percent of Americans are literate....but can they really READ?!! ....

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

anti celebrity...somewhat a paradox...the anti celebrity is jnot anti but counter celebrity...just another niche, in reality.

[mangozumo]

SLINT

[pigeonkill]

NOT CRAP

[markvermeys]

haha!

[HandJobFilms]

excellant sound on this

[milieugraye]

does anyone know the lyrics to this song?

[kilroysilk]

what is 'the X' ?

[kriXtof]

"The Ex" is a netherland band of more than twenty years of existence with lot of albums and projects ...

[F1CO]

@kriXtof and they still play.. fascinating

[BluesNatural]

Todd Trainer is the best, he is my favorite drummer ever.

[spookyboo55]

'Billiard Player Song' from "The Rude Gesture: A Pictorial History" 7" that came out in '93

[funkaluca]

[Pyrofries]

The billiard player song is probably my favorite shellac song

[busxdriver]

[bread86]

Todd Trainer is a beast!

[hoginthesky]

So so so true! Such style!

[genuineIntel]

what's stranges amplifiers???

[simonorman]

why why why isn't the full song here???? cry. never is. but I agree with pigeonkill, this is easily the best Shellac vid on youtube. I know this vid has to be available because I have this live version of the track.

[pigeonkill]

I think this is the best sounding Shellac video on youtube. Is the whole show available somewhere?

[tjall1979]

Excellent band i've seen them live in Poland they kick ass!

[gabimenki]

this men will go to play in Brazil in March , in a litlle city called Votorantim!!!
