Marcy Playground - blood in alphabet soup

[care1g]

its so true, the crowd totally fucking blows.

[rumbumsidum]

c´mon guys the german speaking crowds are most times awesome, just check the festival and stuff,.. Rock am Ring for example...

[HAYDS510]

they aint clapping because no one pissed on anyone.

[whitekidandamexican]

Such an amazing performance, such a lame ass crowd!!!!!!! This is a song to rock out to not to be boring to.

[danwhitaker]

I'm having more fun in my computer chair watching this video than that crowd is having. I think the band would have to be pooping on each other to get a German crowd excited.

[somebodysendme]

The intro is pretty much a variation of "even in his youth" by nirvana at least it sounds more like it opposed to smells like teen spirit

[bigkbone73]

That crowd DOES suck. Jesus! Are they sick or dying? It's fucking MP and one of their best songs.

[Walrusknucklecorp]

First off, i like nirvana as much as the next guy, but COME ON!!!!!!! there are other great bands out there too, and MP happens to be a great band! anyways, my favourite bands typically are the less popular ones.

second, I WANT JOHN'S GOGGLES!!!!!

[keowierkat]

@Walrusknucklecorp haha i was thinking the same thing....about both points

[csmpeoil]

these guys are great. can't believe they didn't get bigger.

[opiateinc]

Do you have a DVD of this show ???

[TodaysBS]

if this is what German's party like at a concert... it just might be an epic failure...

[Thomann1984]

@TodaysBS

The problem about this show was it was some sort of a "new talent festival" organized by a TV station. So tickets were more expensive than a usual show => there were only a few real fans. And they were not THAT famous, because radio stations don't play much alternative music.

This was their only concert here until now...

[TennesseeBrett]

This Concert is pretty bad-ass, I wish I knew what was up with that moose.

I think It's a little ignorant to talk so much shit about Cobain and Nirvana while praising Marcy Playground, John is obviously a fan because so many of his songs have a blatant influence from them, just look at Wave-Motion Gun, It sounds just like a Nirvana song but he does the Whoo-ooo Oooos and kinda gives it that Marcy Playground feel...

[Mrcodyyates10]

that crowd fucking sucks. if i were woz i would say "fuck you guys" and walk out

[woz22]

Im glad he didn't though, I wouldnt have all these videos!!

[themosquitogod]

haha woz started that whole goggle trend back in the late late 90s

[redspikeshead]

Love this song, is a hybrid between Nirvana's "Even in his youth" and The Offspring's "Vultures". This is soo post-grunge.

[D4mnShadows]

lol the crowd look like frickin zombies

[righteousmotherfuck]

this guy does a sweet cobain yell. RIP kurt

[Haraxys]

what the ?

[TheDukesofRB]

sick song

[caesiume]

LOL look at the crowd...typical German concert.

[themosquitogod]

@caesiume hahaha i saw antiflag in germany a few years ago and the crowd just stood around. no moshing or headbanging, they did some rowboat crap on the floor, but that was it.

[maulialiasmauli]

@caesiume ?????????

[Lucasfrenzy]

i like nirvana and MP, but this song suxs first song iv found i dont like by them

[shermobad]

Dude, this song is rad!

[THATKIDDELSIE]

Nicee but could never compare with KurtCobain and Nirvana

[shermobad]

They don't have too. Why do people like to compare so much? Why can't they just appreciate?

[dimmy4simmy]

god the crowds happy aint they

[dauntSilver]

the crowd is so unbelievably not awesome.

[adamski177]

this is so good...

[EvilEwok]

It's funny how you are comparing Nirvana to MP, but in reality Nirvana could never hope to sound like this live.

[rapeandpilage138]

are u saying nirvana sounds like shit live

[fishjasonfish]

MP was inspired by Nirvana, thats what "Seattle" was all about, AND ALOT of Marcy's other songs. HOWEVER if you say Marcy played better than Nirvana live, and I am a big Marcy fan, you must be functionally retarded, cause at least you can type.

[rapeandpilage138]

i hate how assholes compare marcy to nirvana two both totoly different bands both great but very differint!

[nadjadee]

Wow this song really channels Nirvana, with the opening riff, the style he sings the lyrics, and the song structure. Not a bad thing at all, in fact I like it, but it's definitely a departure from the self titled.

[steve88ups]

Thats fuckin killer! Woz Rules!!

[ila1341]

Good

[rcmaster1029]

I wish I knew how to play the part at 1:55.

[jazzfunkbeagle]

If Cid from FFVII was a grunge rocker...

still, safe tune though. MP shouldnt be caught up in the post nirvana grunge groups. these guys were something different.

would love to catch them in concert.

[GODZHAND117]

What kind of goggles are those?

[malfuz]

yeah couldn't even find tourdates (from Amsterdam). Cool playin the bassy steelstring like that i remember it from when i was round 21 years long time a go... but they still rock!

[bliques]

i thought he was saying 'i sMELL bloood in alphabet souup' :(

song still rocks my jollies tho

[TechieRefugee]

Marcy Playground deserves a lot more airplay than they are getting. This is some really great stuff they have.

[Caribou4]

john woz is a badass

[tylertjp]

Before you compare Marcy Playground to Nirvana, keep in mind the fact that their first CD, Zog Bogbean was released in 1990. Nirvana existed at that time, but they were still underground like Marcy Playground. With that being said, I like both Nirvana and Marcy Playground and while there are similarities between the two in sound, people need to let it go.

[mxmang]

well, when i say kurt is living vicariously i didn't say JOHN is living through kurt, kurt is livin through john from beyond the grave...

:)

[JaredSkye]

marcy playground is awesome!! cuz they can spell blood in their soup, can you? awesome band though

[tvonutube]

I just got my tickets!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA AAA!!!!!! I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas with Marcy Playground!!!! They say you get to lounge and drink with the band during signing sessions!!!!! JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!!!!! Oct 23!!!,.. marcyplayground.c0m

[foolsonparade]

I love the way acoustic electric sounds through a Marshall

[ragingharlot13]

hmmm this opening riff sounds alot like 'teen spirit' by nirvana.

[woz22]

Not!!!

[incubuskid09]

@ragingharlot13

agreed, well vaguely...

@woz22

"Good composers don't borrow, they steal" - Igor Stravinsky

Granted, I don't think he had Seattle sound or post-Seattle sound in mind.

[boognish75]

imho most of the grunge/post grunge share that ''sound'' nirvana, stp, alice n chains and marcy playground are my favorites, have you guys ever heard of spot 1019, there another band that is an underdog great like MP

[Lithium2107]

It sounds more to "Even in his Youth"... but slower...

[redspikeshead]

True, true, true... and also "I hate myself and I want to die"

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

that's exactly what i thought.

or, a really fast I Hate Myself and Want to Die.

heh, cool.

[JohnVo423]

@ragingharlot13 Both grungy riffs which is more than likely what you're referring to. This song starts in C, teen spirit is in F, this riff consists of three chords, teen spirit is four chords, this is acoustic and teen spirit is electric, so.....the only thing similar is strumming....I'm going to go have a bowl of cereal.

[ragingharlot13]

@JohnVo423 yes go eat a bowl of cereal to digest that there IS a fucking electric guitar in this song...idiot.

[JohnVo423]

@ragingharlot13 People on youtube never cease to amaze me on how fast one comments at a quick attempt to reveal one's intelligence over another. You know what the fuck I mean by acoustic and electric.

[stevenhyde1960]

@ragingharlot13 no it sounds more like even in his youth

[mxmang]

whoah crazy i typed that in without reviewing comments then i notice that this whole thing is comments like that, hahaha... say what you want .. both strong drum sections, good bass riffs, amazing singers and guitar players... AND THEY SOUND VERY SIMILAR.

[mxmang]

kurt cobain lives vicariously through john

[EdwardElricsGirl]

John is his own artist- much better than Cobain, IMO.

[pyroqueen3]

ok so no one else has said it so i will wat is he wearing on his head???? goggles???

whatever, only he could make them sexy

[Kaitlin72]

1:55-2:12 is amazing!!! i love it ♥

One of the best songs by Marcy Playground =]

[pyroqueen3]

he's so sexy

[jutsu42]

awsome, this is on my favorites...

[OriginalRubberJesus]

he looks real young in this video

[pearljam3030]

nothing like Nirvana.......MP is way better than Nirvana so Nirvana fans shut the fuck up already....

[havokflicks]

jesus their both so different i personally like both equally.  So you shut the fuck up nirvana is way bigger than MP so you arguement is gonna get shot down every time.

[morningcrow00]

plus it's a pain in the ass to spell nirvana in alphabet soup

[MardraumGhoul]

I dont thin Marcy Playground is better but they are my second favorite band after Nirvana, Marcy Playground makes awesome songs!

[cherryunderground]

I can't believe how awesome this band is! Good music, cool videos and John Wozniak is the most handsome man ever! And his voice is amazing too!

[cuentan33]

i'm a nirvana fan and i also like mp but they are completly diferent bands. nirvana lyrics are deeps and have three diferents meening but it's more about the rush not the lyric. and mp have an aswome melody.

[cuentan33]

i'm a nirvana fan and i also like mp but they are completly diferent bands. nirvana lyrics are deeps and have three diferents meening but it's more about the rush not the lyric. and mp have an aswome melody.

[TheCrazyAlShow]

Marcy Playground....What a band, they're like..."We like heroin, and we sing about it.........COOL!!! I was SURE that they would be O D'ed by the second album. They must have some pretty strong tickers in the left chest. Iv wrote to there fan club, they don't write back. I'd love to see um live! I'm into heavier stuff like Slayer but I like every song on all three albums

[AKirstin]

No one in the band does drugs.

[tvonutube]

You are the dumbest dude on utube

[smillertime789]

I never understood why everybody was so crazy about Nirvana. There music wasn't all that great and they lyrics make absolutely no sense. If you need any proof, look up the lyrics for smells like teen spirit or rape me. But I don't think proof is needed.

[Ruiner213]

Nirvana lyrics make sense, depending on how you look at them. They're just kind of spacey.

I fucking love Marcy Playground, though.

[ihavetobe18]

Rape me was a shot at MTV, and how the network made them popular, but then exposed Kurt as a heroin addict, which led to things like fans yelling "Kurt smack!" at their concerts, a magazine printing an article on how he and Courtny Love were unfit to be parents, and Axyl Rose saying the same thing at a concert. It was Kurt's intention to play "Rape Me" at the MTV music awards, but one of the station managers was wise enough to realize what the song was about.

[couture817]

ppl stop talking about nirvana its not a nirvana vid its a marcy playground vid!!!

[pearljam3030]

Marcy Playground is nothing.. NOTHING like Nirvana

[woz22]

I totally agree, John Wozniak isn't a cry baby rock star junky that takes the easy way out, waaaah, poor kurt!! I have millions and do what I love to do, so I guess I'll shoot myself. Woz just keeps making good music. So yes I agree they are nothing like Nirvana. You fucking Nirvana fans are so fucking annoying.

[hobomafonie]

its cool you love marcy playground, but dont go around bashing bands man.

all that leads to is more people bashing this video, and then this is just a hate fest.

[FrxBass]

@woz22

But John Wozniak is no where even close to Kurt's charisma :)

oh and by the way this doesn't sound like ''Rape me'' ?

[FrxBass]

@woz22

I mean you talk about drugs and stuff ''Poppies, opium'' when you don't use them on a regular basis and you talk about how hard addiction and side effects are, you got to be the lamest guy on earth.

[rasputozen]

@woz22 lol yah we are haha

[emerica1mason]

@woz22 Marcy Playground is definitely similar to Nirvana. Anyone who doesn't hear that doesn't have an ear for music. And all that shit you said about Kurt, fuck you dude...I understand it's all an opinion but still.

[woz22]

@emerica1mason

yeah it is an opinion..good one too....just don't like people that take the easy way out..don't give a shit if your a rock star or whoever...one of my best friends did it and I hate him for it...if I see him in another world I'd punch him in the face and call him a coward.

[musiclover420love]

@woz22 ive had a friend take the easy way out to..but i dont hate him. i miss him everyday and i wish he never did do what he did. u shouldnt hate ur friend just because he took the easy way out, u should feel sorry for him!

[FozzieKitty]

they're not NOTHING cuz if they were nothing then they wouldnt have so many fans and have made so many great songs.

AND its a good, no, GREAT thing they arent like Nirvana, cuz thats what makes them different.

[ElectricAfroMan]

@pearljam3030 except that nirvana is one of their major influinces and this very much sounds like nirvana...

[HooliganzR6]

Nice...very Nice!

Great tune

[stonderdayz]

they wanted to be like nirvana. even though they are like them they are still their own. simplicaty is great. I dont see why people look down on it so much. why does music have to be complicated to be enjoyed? why does anything for that matter?

marcy playground and nirvana. two great bands with there own style.

[elerywhite]

check out ELERY WHITE, if you like grunge.

[rainbowsoup152]

i love marcy playground :D

and any1 who doesn't then fair enough.. but u don't have to leave comments telling every1 cos if ur watching it in the first place you gotta wonder how u got here, n also if uve got nothing better to do than to insult them then you've really gotta get a life.

[shenanigans101]

Oh my god, guys, trust me, i'm a total nirvana fan, but not every grunge or nearly grunge band is a 'total nirvana rip-off'

[sean77741111]

Kurt killed himself because he knew Nirvana would never come close to being as good MC!!

[Neogetter02]

hahah nice

[dciple777]

Dude im a huge nirvana fan my favorite song is silver but still these guys have their own awesome thing going for them

[NarcisKing]

omfg TOTAL NIRVANA RIP OFF and look at the sex and candy tabs their all the same with a different rythm ..''im the only one'' nirvana ''im not the only one'' from rape me ...come on total rip off

[Harotoast]

what the hell man this is so not a 5 star video its not even catchy or funny it sounds like shit and its repetitive you people suck

[woz22]

for one I don't think its supposed to be funny, and another, if you don't like it don't fucking watch it you DOLT!!

[Harotoast]

listen faggot i was linked here from a stephen lynch video (who's funny and can actually sing) and i figured tom delonge+"blood in alphabet soup"+linked from lynch would be funny. so i watched the first 30 seconds or so and thought wow this song fucking sucks and i said so i didnt know i wouldnt like it but now hey i know i really dont fucking like it so shut the motherfuck up you goddamn retard i obviously dont need you to tell me that i shoudnt watch something i dont like

[woz22]

how many boxes of tissues did you go through for that whine session!!! I knew you were a dolt

[Harotoast]

jesus where did you get dolt from, how many decades has it been since that carried any weight at all? oh and defending my position definetly makes me a baby. this song still sucks and you're still fucking stupid

[woz22]

let it go man, its all in fun for fuck sake

The End...

[nirvana14870]

yeah this one is kinda like nirvana

[wavemotiongunner]

mp3 IS GREAT, MY FAVORITE IS NO ONES BOY, WHAT AN INGENIOUS SIMPLICITY WITH AN ADDICTING AND SOOTHING VOICE.yAy WOZ! U ROCK

[Jurific]

Awesome Song and Awesome underated Band. This song is a great grunge revival with obvious Nirvana influence mixed with Marcy's own creative flare. I hope i can see them Live one day

[wavemotiongunner]

They r incredble live, and they play real small venues. So its always cozy and personal!

[shapeshifterX]

yes  rock on!!!

[retardparade06]

Tom DeLonge reminds me of a less awesome version of Woz. . . . . My 2nd favorite song by them. I love this song. . Dude, he'd make a freakin' hot serial killer.

[Eriavla]

he makes me horny

[KuschDieWaldfee]

great song

[caracol08]

Marcy Playground rocks!!!

[pearljam3030]

Marcy Playground Kicks ass. this is off their MP3 Albulm which is a great albulm
