[jackiemenz]

R.I.P Mia

[MASAI97]

[MusicMasterNaomi]

RIP Mia. Seattle loves you.

[newrealization12]

"I wrap you precious around my soul" beautifiul so sweet for a dear friend. I love mia and the gits.

[ahhyeeee]

have they caught that bastard yet??? someone must know something.

[cmeloni81]

@ahhyeeee Yeah they caught him with the DNA sample, some weird dude living in Florida I think.

[sassicaiamolotov]

@ahhyeeee he's been caught 11 years after. His name is Jesus Mezquia, a cuban exile known as violent maniac, found by DNA proof and condemned to 37 years in prison

[ImSoCoolnezz]

I watched a documentary on the band, it was on netflix, check it out if you have netflix.

[FunnyFishy22]

A beautiful song written by one outstanding woman about another... R.I.P. Mia and Stephanie... You girls give us female musicians something to shoot for! We love and miss you both!<3 The Gits & 7 Year Bitch Forever!!!

[greenAppleVodka]

Heard about this band from 48hour Mystery or something like that and I fell in love with her the first time I heard her.

Fucking rad chick.

Rest in fucking peace.

[wwa4tna]

i love what this song is about

[bradvolk3]

MAn the gits r FUCKING SICK

[bradvolk3]

Man Mia was so fucking sickly talented. Missed badly....

[MrSphibe]

Just posted "Twisting" & "Kelpo" from 1992 performance on a local Seattle music show.Have not seen 'em on here yet. Check 'em out.

[oOLaneyOo]

Mia was a beautiful person with a beautiful voice. She was a gift given to us for a short time. The saddest thing is thinking how much she had suffered and how afraid she must have been at the end. and for anyone too say she was cookie cutter and main stream... you make me laugh.

[edavenport93]

one of the best Seattle bands

[douchebag21]

they look a bit like a crust punk band

[chillinkittie]

happy birthday Mia, rest in peace girl.

[GetMoney2TakeMoney]

I love the Gits. I live in Louisville and if you ever have the chance, go visit her at Cave Hill Cemetery. What a talent!

[Angus666Young]

what is f1 superhardcorerapecars 09 talking about? i like slayer, megadeth, and the gits. i don't like faggots who live to annoy other people cause the truth is you have control over my mind for about 3 secs til i send you a comment that embarrasses you and then never read/reply to you again lol.

[Angus666Young]

AY GOD DAYUM!!! this song is so fucking beautiful dude.

[GRUNGE911]

DEMAIS!""!

[endthedisease]

I was doing punk rock shows in Indiana from 96-99. I pulled in bands from as far away as California and New York but I never heard of the gits until the documentary about Mia's murder. She had talent. It's sad that her life was cut short.

[MovieDude210]

This is like rediscovering real music for the first time...Damn such a talent wasted...watched the documentary and was just blown away by the performances and moved by the words of her father...especially when he said "She was on loan to me...and now she belongs to all of you...and I like that".

[notquiteafembot]

RIP, Mia. :(

[GutterDoll138]

VIVA THE CONQUERING CHICKEN!!! <3

[GutterDoll138]

@livemusiclovelife1 Can you believe this kid?! (f1ferrari09)

[iocat]

I really don't like posting on YouTube, but... I think the best way to honor Mia Zapata is to talk about how great The Gits music is and not to just focus on her horrible untimely death. Fuck that guy, let's stop talking about him. The Gits ruled, Mia ruled, and I'm super glad I can see these rad songs on YouTube.

[GutterDoll138]

@iocat OMG! I LOVE when Mia sang "Here's To Your Fuck"!!! The boys wailed on that too WOW! Her voice in that song is... ON FIRE!!! :o)

[theswallows]

@F1ferrari09

besides being retarded you are obviously deaf as well.

[F1ferrari09]

@theswallows besides you not looking at yourself in a mirror before posting that comment i posted this comment on purpose and besides only puppy fuckers like you would even defend such an awful example of enterprise such as this. ps this statement is true if you reply so an further reply to this starting argument is instantly lost (by you).

[theswallows]

@F1ferrari09 call a whaaambulance someone forgot their meds!

[GutterDoll138]

@theswallows Seriously, the kid is a LOSER.

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 WOW. I'm STUNNED at what a piece of sh*t you are. I have this huge smile on my face being so surprised by your stupidity. I can picture Mia throwing her boot at you from the stage; knocking your dumb ass out! lol

I mean, WHO says "good riddance" about a human being that was truly decent, talented and loved, without any sympathy that she was killed? You're a disgusting individual and should basically go F*CK yourself because nobody wants you here. We're here to celebrate greatness.

[F1ferrari09]

@F1ferrari09 oh and by the way i wouldnt get her boot thrown at me becuase 1 im not retard crackhead like you who never went to her concert but pretends to be her fanboy and 2 shes fucking dead asshole and lastly no one is innocent get that through your thick head too

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 LOL! MORE proof that you're an inferior little limp dick! lol For one, a "fanboy" is a comic book fan dumb ass. For two, "crackhead" lol You MUST be 15! I don't do drugs, so try again douche bag. lol Oh... She's dead? DUH. Too bad you lived such a 'hard knock life' in your ripe teens to be so jaded; there ARE innocent people; they just don't hang around morons like you. Respect your elders sweetheart. I'd PAY to see you in one of our pits; you wouldn't last 5 minutes! LMAO... Pow!

[F1ferrari09]

@GutterDoll138 and you were waiting at the computer for me to reply i feel flattered man that was quick you sure are reliable when it comes to fueling an argument you are losing and where the fuck did elders come from also lasting 5 minutes at one of her concerts would be impossible because shes dead. that message you sent me clearly shows your smoking something you nigger brained idiot

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 Somebody's a presumptuous little troll. What makes you think I was waiting for you? lol Stop all that rambling; because you clearly can't articulate a [coherent] sentence. NOBODY wants your opinion. You're Zero. We all love Mia (obviously) & you aren't welcome. Your friends hate you & your parents regret having you. You're a STAIN. You could Never be anything to us. By the way, Thanks for all the additional Hits on Mia's videos! YOU are helping prove what a legend she STILL is! :o)

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 <---- Was just typing to himself. LOL What a Dumb Ass!

[MrSuperBigFuzz]

@GutterDoll138 haha you are kind of a douche arent you? anyway i bet you are like 16 so you wouldnt have any idea what music is. Its kinda sad. and in one of your comments you said LMAO. and thats only 16 year old girls that say.. so thanks to this comment i have concluded that the average age here on youtube is 12 so i can safely assume that you are 9. and you say you dont use drugs, you cant have been around in the 80-90's

(this comment is directed to queen douche)

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 LOL! "listen you fat fuck" LMAO! As if I'd feel insulted by a kid calling me fat? What a LAMO! Did you forget you said "good riddance"? THAT means you think she deserved to die, Dumb Ass. You're contradicting yourself, junior. And by admission you're saying if YOU ''haven't heard of a band''- they suck. You're a CHILD- you're ZERO in our community to have ever heard of this band, kid! And I'm not your friend, pussyboy. Learn to read & you'll see that she's CLEARLY loved. YOU= FAIL.

[F1ferrari09]

@GutterDoll138 i dont want to get accepted into your small little club if thats what you call your community of losers like yourself. what are you smoking cause it is surely frying your brain real good and no not everyone loves her thats such bullshit because she was murdered end of story so go back to doing drugs with your little fan boy friends and have a circle jerk over mia then even though she is rotting in the ground somewhere long forgotten by everyone execpt for f and f

[GutterDoll138]

@F1ferrari09 Yay Thanks for all your Views on The Gits videos! You should probably learn how to spell though, illiterate asshole. lol What a total lamo. lol!

[F1ferrari09]

@GutterDoll138 who is we anyway did you clone yourself or something because last time i checked no ones backing you up on this argument so where are your fan club buddies at theres prob like 5 fans total not very much also spellchecker is an amazing thing isnt it makes even the most uneducated look smart like yourself.

[F1ferrari09]

@GutterDoll138 go listen to slayer or megadeth instead of listen to this cut out bin pop music reject

[theswallows]

@F1ferrari09 A good way to know about awesome bands/artists is to close your mouth and open your ears. Mia inspired me all through high school. Women like  her gave me the guts to get out there and do it. I wish I had been old enough to see her, my drummer played with them in the day and is a lucky SOB!

[F1ferrari09]

@theswallows well i guess i was going to say what have you been smoking but i have to say shes an odd person to become inspired by but thats just my opinion

[desdmoana]

I first read about Mia in Inga Muscio's "Cunt" book... which is Incredible girls... anyway... wow.. i rented the documentary about the band to follow up on what i already knew, and i didnt once think about the fucking music.... i couldnt believe how incredible.... i feel robbed.... we were all robbed... its like reading a great book and losing it just before the end... Here's to you Mia, "Another shot of whisky", you amazing, chicken legged, knotty haired, beautiful bitch!

[theswallows]

@desdmoana let them talk. it does not change how amazing she was or how many of us she continues to inspire, Any one would take 30 minutes of their life just to offend should be pitied.

[GutterDoll138]

@desdmoana Haha Nice! I love the passion in your comment! :o)

[venisfurs]

move over pattie smith!

[MrGuitar0492]

not bad!!!!!! is good

[MrDownrightawesome]

after seeing your balding head, i could see why she cut off your hairy, shriveled ball sack and shoved it down your throat.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

Fuckig cuban peice of shit. I hope he gets raped in hell.

[NapalmHeart7]

@AUSROTTENY2K His Nationality had nothing to do with it. He was a sick, fucked up horrible person who took away a beautiful amazing person (Mia) from this earth. Don't spread more hate from a tragedy.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

I wasn't trying to make anything about his nationality. He was an illegal alien who just happened to be cuban. So shut the fuck up.

[giannaluva65]

@NapalmHeart7 i think he means that the cuban belongs in cuba and if he were never here mia would still be alive...at least thats what ithink he means

[spooge1234]

that les paul is AWESOME! thats my dream guitar! Les Paul Siverburst!

[birdy47]

did she get raped and murdered??? shit, this is the first time ive heard them and they rock!

[BigWhiggEntertainmen]

yes she did....and the fucker didn't get anywhere enough jail time.

R.I.P. Mia. We miss you.

[VoodooCramps]

He should have been castrated with soldering scissors. Slowly, one small piece at a time.

[kurtney91]

Does anyone know the tabs to this song?

[BigWhiggEntertainmen]

If you want them accurate as possible, contact the gits on myspace. The drummer runs the page, sweetest guy in the world. If he has access to them, he would get you the correct tabs.

[TheHappyDame]

"The Gits" documentary is amazing!!!! I rented it on Netflix. Great footage of Mia and the band.

[kurtney91]

I'm gonna rent it now! :)

[ghost037]

I'm naming my future daughter after Mia. Definatly my favorite musical discovery of the past few months.

[PandaPandaChii]

God Bless Mia.

[STPVH1]

Theres no such thing as grunge. Grunge was a lable given by the mainstream cause they didn't know what the fuck punk was. Gits and Nirvana were straight up punk. Fuck this grunge bullshit.

[tacomapunker]

Grunge is a Generic term for Northwest rock. It encompasses Metal and Punk bands from the area. So you're right, it doesnt exist as a style, but a lot of bands from the area will still claim they're grunge regardless of their style, its a regional title. and as for NewMadrid01, lets not refer to them as Seattle bands, most aren't from Seattle

[NewMadrid01]

its not fair, the last punk band, forever gone! RIP MIA

ps, they are Punk not Grunge, they were very different to their fellow seattle bands of the 90s

[L3MiNiMAL]

VIVA ZAPATA!!!!

[heavytomthumb]

Rest in peace, Mia. You're not forgotten.

[WastedLifestyle]

GRUNGE

R.i.p MIA!!!!

[Strawberryzful]

They rocked and her voice was so distinctive....

[edwinmusic]

awesome!!

[JoanneTickle]

Fantastic , amazing, such a tragic loss to music

[SingSong6678]

i just saw this on 48 hrs hard evidence

[wbwdance93]

god they were good.

its such a shame they didnt get bigger

r.i.p mia

[BigWhiggEntertainmen]

true, but a bigger shame that such a beautiful soul lost her life.

[carlosthegaucho]

Excellent band that would deserve more recognition!

[ImronCross]

Guttural, Raw and Searing!

[RobNhood2112]

The Gits Kicked Ass !

R.I.P MIA

[Tavo18241]

She kinda sounds like brody dalle ... still better though

[stefanebun]

such amazing attitude, man. you don't see that a lot these days...

[slackerqueen13]

this is one of the greatest songs ever written. i never get tired of hearing it.

Viva Zapata

[knockout68]

Check out the documentary, "The Gits". Viva Zapata!!!!!

[jkgambz]

why do you say this is grunge? this is punk rock.

i remember some video where mia zapata is wearing a nofx shirt.

[JunkFunkers]

thats what grunge pretty much is, sloppy ass punk riffs/chords....uhmm Nirvana all there songs have the simple little 3 cords in them, and they are one of the biggest grunge bands ever.

there's this movie called Hype, it's about the Grunge scene in seattle in the 90's. oh and whatr do you know The Gits are in it.

i do agree that The Gits are more punk than grunge though.

[s142057]

Awesome Song

[darkpatriot85]

I got a shotgun. Can I blow his nuts off?

[jorghad6]

i think Grunge rock was the best thing that happened to rock and roll since the British invasion

Grunge WILL NEVER Die~nor shall the British Invasion!

[opemdagreat]

how could you dislike this band they are great !!

sorry guys they aren't nickelback bro

[HailinOnMe]

fuck you 0whitealex0

have some respect

[machopicho315]

yeah he´s a bonehead

[blissfulblonde91]

nobody deserves to die the way she did..she was a real person jus like u..so think before u post sum shit up that makes people think ur a retarted twat.

[coffehouseblues]

how did she die?

[Bleak]

homicide. Guy killed her after raping her.

[knockout68]

Mia was murdered by a drifter in 1993. She did not know her attacker. She was at the wrong place and time. He was out on the streets after previous arrests and violence towards women. Mia's murder was brutal to say the least. She will never be forgotten. The heinous killer was caught in Florida after ten years and is serving 36.6 years in prison. To learn more about The Gits and Mia, see the documentary, THE GITS. Until then, Viva Zapata.

[giannaluva65]

Such a big loss of life....Mia zapata was killed after leaving her friends apartment at 2:00 AM and it is believed she was attacked shortly after 2:15. She was listening to a walkman so she probably wasn't aware of the danger that approached her until the minute he attacked. She was brutally raped and beaten, then strangled. The beating was so bad she would have died from internal bleeding if she hadn't been strangled. The man then dragged her out of his car...R.I.P. she didn't deserve it......

[zippywaite]

she was murdered??

omg i didnt know that. i dont know much about this band.

[darkpatriot85]

She did more in that band's short existence than you will ever do in your entire life.

[vampyressjessika]

I think he should just sit in prison and rot.

[bls1777]

i just ordered that documentary and i can't wait for it to arrive i heard of this band back when hype was released and only just really started listening to them. they were so fucking good!!!!!

[archer1949]

I'll gladly sign it!

[LucidNation]

Make sure you see The Gits documentary~

[astrozombie777]

fuckin amazing.

[lorddaffy]

fucking awsomme!! never seen it before :D the gits rule!! :) to bad about mia :( that sucks so fucking much!

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

found these guys from a Heatmiser vid, they're not bad

[ctcole77]

May Mia rest in peace.

[Dunkthepunker]

My god this is such an awsome song!!!!!!!!!!

[thejacksaints]

I video taped the front camera angle -and brought the stage lights (the Jabberjaw was really dark). The Gits were great. Eventually I'm going to transfer all my jabberjaw footage (a bunch of bands from that era) and find someone to host them for free download....eventually...

[catalyst4us]

Thanks for sharing this...I never followed this band, but I love what I've heard. Its a tragedy that she was killed. I will definitely check out the movie.

[LucianoGrunge]

The Gits!!!!! lastima como murio Mia.

[ernialvaraoz]

me molais

[randymcdonalds]

yo there coming out with a movie

[REDGuerrilla92]

its already out

[elephantstone67]

I just discovered this band and I think its great!! It reminds me a bit of Concrete Blonde's Still in hollywood sound days...I just read about singer brutal murder and raped...I hope rapist/killer get caught and not killed but make him suffer for very long long time before kill him..Bastard!!!

[TheRacistsMustDie]

They already have him and he's doing like 30+ years

[elephantstone67]

great then

[lumpagogo]

That's how much we value our females in the U.S.--another illegal, third-world alien commits a death penalty crime and gets 30 years, 15 if behavior is "good." Thanxx, reverse-racist America. Thank you very much.

[dm101176]

he got 36 yrs not 30.

[darkpatriot85]

Save it buddy. Enjoy the song.

[crackwitch]

I love you Mia <3 RIP <3

[cloverhoseman325]

Scared once before, but not anymore As it twists and turns me away from the surface Here's my chance of letting it go I'm sick of the pain that I'm feelin It's weighing me down If I could erase it all within just one fuckin' dive I wrap you precious around my soul and now I'm letting you go as I drown these evil spirits and penetrate the obstacles

[cloverhoseman325]

MIA ZAPATA RIP JULY 7th

[secretsymbiote]

Did anyone know that theyre singer was murdered by a serial killer, just like she described in her song, sign of the crab? Thats some cer-azay shit right there.

[ohhhhitszach]

Dude I saw an episode on forensic files and she was on there I didnt even know this band existed. She was like raped and strangled it said on the show. Yeah and when she was writing that song the sign of the crap

[secretsymbiote]

Yeah, thats where I saw it, and then I looked them up on youtube.

[ingapinga84]

I'm a lumberjack and I'm Ok. I still shop in the liitle old man section at Goodwill and wear my plaid flannel til death MF

[Chazman80]

Man I wish we had lyrics , So I could blog'em

[Agelesscrimsondreams]

to the person that said "that wasn't exactly grunge" all music from the grunge era did not sound like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc..It is music from people in Seattle and thereabouts from the early 90's that loved and created awesome music..the media called it grunge to make money off a group of people and teenagers and got people copy them or what they made them to be.....wearing doc martens, flannel shirts, grungy hair...etc.

watch HYPE!

[ChynaFox]

This wasn't exactly grunge.

[darkpatriot85]

Elaborate. I don't think you know the correct sound of grunge.

[whizer5454]

there is no correct sound of grunge, its a term for bands coming from Seatle its a selling tactic.

[marcoslips]

Thanks for that style that is miss so much! Keep rocking true!

[pikecpokec]

thanks mia

[coananthecustodian]

evil stig

[ThurstonWhore1]

What a great band in their day,And r.ip Mia!

[ryankorczak]

Viva Zapata...

[sportspiano]

cool,that's why sad

[darkpatriot85]

Mia Zapata is the true queen of grunge, not Courtney Love.

[pkthedude]

R.I.P. Angel - class pure class . Another one that left us all far too early ,we feel it(her loss) this side of the Atlantic too,God bless her x peace x x

[otep4president]

her murder was completely devestating to me. she was a warrior poet and personal hero of mine. R.I.P MIA.

[bbqprozac]

i think alot of people still do and do so still. its just that the media doesnt market this kind of music anymore. to them its passe. now its all EMO and POP PUNK. worst thing to ever happen to rock music.. long live gruunnnnggge!

[Toolmusik]

she was raped and murdered and then her corpse was beaten until it was unrecognizable, and then she was posed like she was crucified, and placed under a streetlight in a vacant lot.

[dutch385]

saw the gitz many times along w/ 7 year bitch in the seattle hay daze.... sweet memories

[killnickleback]

Her death was tragic and violent. Presenting it in such a detailed way is quiet insensitive.What do you want a discussion on her murder!? Its pure voyerism. stop getting caught up in her death and listen to the music. The Gits rock!

[the1mills]

how do you know all that is true?

[slimmeyjimibob]

i do and i am someone out of those no ones

[cloverhoseman325]

Right on and were not No ones were what is left of the alternative grunge society and we are THE PEOPLE that will show EVERYONE that grunge will have an uprise in the near future this so called EMO,SCENE stuff GRUNGE IS COMING BACK ITS GOING TO BE SO IN YOUR FACE IT WILL INSTANLY STOP THEM FEY BOYS RUNNING AROUND IN TIGHT PANTS, So break out your flannels and jeans GRUNGE IS LIFE!!!

[TrentCobain]

Most girls now need to be like the lead singer of The Gits. She has pure fucking talent and she doesn't have to show off her tits to prove it!

[jbender8]

Cheers to all Gits fans. Cheers to Mia Zapata. We love you guys!!!

[nomad198126]

just fuckin badass

[freeslave4sale]

sweet

[hserokdivad]

omg awesome. Mia Zapata was such an amazing vocalist and great performer. Such a shame what happened to her. Rest in peace hun. :(

[OttOmOlOtOv]

Excellent! (Mr. Burns style). I saw the Gits a few times at La Luna but I didn't really appreciate them. Me and my dumbass hipster friends thought: "so what, more hardcore punk". Ah, if hindsight was 20/20 I would have basked in the glory of real rock and roll. :)
