The Jesus & Mary Chain - Snakedriver (Live)

[neto4346]

Mother of GOD!!!

[TheLexyboy]

The Jesus and Mary Chain are widely known as East Kilbrides favourite guitar abusers, but William is really pushing the boat out here!

[NiggaPlease152]

i have this fantasy of walking out onto stage at a green day concert, shooting billie joe armstrong in the face, and then just laying down the most abrasive, dirty, squawling, druggy guitar noise solo ever (pretty much exactly like this) and leaving a bunch of parent-approved little shits mobbing for the doors with their ears bleeding.

[MeAndTheMonkeyAbove]

Really great performance, just a pity he sung "Ever since I heard her voice I thought I had no choice but then I kissed her." twice and forgot the "Everything just passes by, thought it always would but then I kissed her." line here.

[shoekstra1419]

fucking great!

[ariellevonglitz]

love this soooo much! Best song on 'The Crow' soundtrack by far!

[zofodraziweht]

this is a bad ass cranky fuckin song

[EscarneoExquisito]

BADASS

[rmjoci]

don't you wanna Say that tHey are musicians, do you? I could wriTe a "song" like that about 2 minutes anytime....

[GrowTheCaine]

But the question is would it be any good? could it compare to this song? thats a pretty tall order man.

[alexsweeley]

@rmjoci Yeah, and your fucking grammar sucks dick. So what if it's not a complex song, the point is it has more feeling than anything you could ever create. You sir are just close minded fool and feel the need to judge a band because they have minimalistic tenancies that you can't dig. Between you and me, I think a guitar solo composed of nothing but feedback and a snarling wah to be more expressive than a scale running wankfest.

[rmjoci]

@alexsweeley It just has the feeling " oh fuck i'm fuckin' drawn, i can do nothing with myself gimme much more weed". My fucking grammar that suck dick has the feeling " yeah i can do that".

[onyachamp]

second best song on the crow soundtrack for me.just pipped at the post by the cure

[noisesionoise]

so good song!

[92c7a]

What guitar is William rocking? Doesn't seem to be the usual ES-330

[Cubehead666]

This song ROCKS!!

[syderwarp]

I was shocked in 94 tour when they played this such great sound for live show!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

[TheLexyboy]

Last time i saw them live was 98, they supported Primal Scream at the Barrowlands, and started with an extended version of this monster of a track! What a gig.......

[itslikeframingapear]

listen to that fucking guitar wail....oh yes...

[kakaimmorta]

The Crow Soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!

[nogomet66]

Oh YES!! This is remakable!!

[stonedeadtripper]

STONEDEADTRIPPER  Shoving up,till i freeze

[Copshootcop74]

Best Mary Chain I've seen on youtube!! Williams guitar tone is amazing!

[Nechepsos]

yeah, why are all their videos being removed? I can't find my faves anymore!

[10Bones01]

copyright issues-

[mikemac71]

that fuzztome is pure grreatness. These guys just groove it. Like a soft warm serving of honey glazed Lobster.

[wildenfree]

Strange analogie, but I like it!!

[itslikeframingapear]

lol i like the analogy.....they do groove tremendously, i think hes got a delay thing happening aswell. But yeah its an incredrible sound. And fair play to Jools for having them on.

[staronciceli]

lol 0:59 whats up with the camera man all up in his grill? other than that... awesome. i remember when my friend was 14, she burned me hate rock n' roll and wrote on the blank cd "this will change your life." and it did! she knew what she was talking about... even at 14.

[admanphoto]

Beach Boys. LOL!

[wasbush]

i miss the 90's music was right. better than the shit thats out now. its not about the music..... it's about the bling-bling....

[Slayerkid16]

Right you are it like any shit band can sell records if hype it up enough and put them everywhere then they will get big. Also if you put them on mtv.

[LAballin24]

There was a lot of shit in the 90s though: POD, Korn, Creed, rap-rock in general, all the Nirvana ripoffs, the random alternative crap

[sineiorcardgage]

Most of the shit was at the tail-end of the 90's. There was a lot of solid music made between 1991 and 1998

[silver00000000]

damb right! best post ever!!!!!!!!!

I think the Mary Chain kind of lost their way until this beauty!!!

fuck me - what a great song this is!!

[replikantzero]

too bad all their music videos are being removed from youtube.

[Ergates]

Abso-fucking-lutely MINDBLOWING awesomist awsomness fucking megabastard amazingmost rockingest uber rock 'n roll ever!

Snakedriver proudly remains a snarling, brutal, grubby, sweat-ridden slavering mangled, mongeral-on-heat of a song that, if anything, sounds even BETTER live than it does in the studio - and that's saying something.

Words don't do this justice.

[stooart2008]

@Ergates well said!

[Ropepope]

Ahh this is great... Not one of the bands whose live performances you'd rather listen to than the studio versions, but still a good live band. It's just hard to get all those studio effects that give the music the unique sound on the stage... Still they did a great job here, love this band.

[woodlie]

love this song.

[karryon99]

Brilliant unlike the music that is made today!

Great performance!

[Morrizzex]

to all the indie kids out there!!!

if ou reeeeeealy want to be cool...this is the band you have to listen to. nuufff said!!

[DrJTG]

it was what was happening musically in the early '90's.

[MartinHutchison]

Absolutely mindblowing

[chechezluvsgd]

you know, the fact that i was born in 1994 gets to be really fucking depressing.

[terrasidius]

awesome

[thrillsfan]

fuckin brilliant!!!

[dd1965uk]

Saw these in 1991 on the lollapalazoo tour with dinosaur jr, blur and my bloody valentine. Best gig i've ever been to!!!

[AIFL]

That is amazing, Wills guitar is screaming in pain! Fantastic! I like it when Jim keeps singing before noticing his mike is turned off, then just tosses it away, classic stuff!

[NLTdesigns]

Best Band Ever!

[RealYellowbeard]

Best version of this song I ever heard!!

[Horgunero]

The best band of independent music, always will my favorite band, great sound, great stake in the stage. Greeting from spain.

[denis1wanic]

I never saw somethign like that befor! It just so great to see how a band can turn feedback into a very good song context.

[minimal1975]

this is the only one i really like.

[Sid1Vicious84]

This song has THE attitude, dude! Just like Blues from a gun... you may walk down the street with this song playing in your ears and beat any poser, emo arse!

[DaveCromwell]
