Who cares if she's cut and she knows it. How does it take away from Tanya Donelly? And do you know how rare it was for 'alternative chicks' to be into the gym and getting cut back in the day? Good for her.
This is why Riot Grrl started - to shut up all the comments about female musicians' bodies and how "hot" they were.
@EbayCanSuckIt - I agree. She looks good and seems like a NUT. In a good way. She was in metal bands before this - and was not going to change her persona because she was in a mellower band. It just shows she has flexibility. AND she looks good :)
Someone needs to tell Gail Greenwood that we all get it, she's buff. Now tell her to get out of the way so we can see Tanya, who's a hundred times more appealing.
Takes me back to Glasgow University student union 1993 or thereabouts. Big Gail storming about the stage with a Rickenbacker bass. Me falling over in the crowd and getting rescued by a dozen pairs of hands. Some young Irish girl was talking to us in the bar upstairs before the gig, urging us to come down and see her band play support. We did, she was called Dolores and they were The Cranberries.... Smashing night, so long ago !
did you know that the foo fighters last 3 albums were written about what i have discovered. dont believe me? go to john paul young "yesterdays hero" and press "see all" to find my 3 comments to find out why. i am not lying. regards.
Totally groovy....as for as good as polly jean....think they would fall over each other saying the other is better- meanwhile kristin would sit in the bacjground and just KNOW but in a nice way....
cool video...I'm surprised the two dudes in this band never got much recognition. I know this band is all about Tanya, but as great as she sings, it was the overall rock component of this band that made me a fan.
I loved Belly. I wish they were still going, but I also love Tanya on her own. And she's happy and that's what most important. Gotta do what makes you happy.
@magicka2000 when I first heard Belly in 95', I instantly liked them, they were so special and I share the same feelings.......Her voice is too beautiful, I should have seen them live', I know they toured the UK......damn.
I wonder to which point Warner Bros owns any right over this song (and album) since it was released by 4AD. WB's job is only to market the 4AD catalogue in USA, nowt else.
What is the name of the female band-member that is not the vocalist? She is wearing a bra and is playing a bass or guitar, and has long, blonde hair. She is cute. What's her story?
I imagine that Madder Rose influenced this band quite heavily. That said, the bass player is certainly sexier that the bass player from MR...Just my male-ish opinion, of course, LOL!
@LTF6161 I disagree. King was a great album - Red, Silverfish, Super-connected, King, Seal My Fate (possibly one of the greatest songs ever written), Judas My Heart etc. The problem was that it got panned by a few critics early on which deterred others from checking it out for themselves.
Tanya and Belly's problem is that their first album was over-loaded w/ great material and their second album had very very little left. Suzanne Vega did the same thing ie shot her wad on many years of pent up material on one album and then had nothing decent left for a follow up. Gail didn't help matters but she wasn't the problem (only a distraction)
@N8trone Well, duh. That bass player (Gail Greenwood I think?) was a bad replacement, she never fit in, always "rocking out" like she's in some kind of metal band.
@tml4873 Actually she used to play for L7... I never understood that weird weird choice, as you say she was always "rocking out" , her style was more for a band like Vixen, Babes in toyland or Hole
A great band and also really nice people. I remember meeting Tanya and Gail backstage at the Cat's Cradle in NC. My ex ended up becoming good friends with Gail. This video takes me back, and there's something about Tanya that just makes you want to smile...
@CubsfanGSO ok. the only reason im commenting here is because that is the second time someone said 'cats cradle'.....just really cool. i live in carrboro and work directly across the street from the cradle. your right....chapel hill/carrboro is a great town to see bands. best.
