Dinosaur Jr. - Freak Scene

[LucasGabrieh]

great technic to rhyme: use the same words as much as you can hahaha awesome song!

[dreamsarestillalive]

no wonder this song never caught on

[ishabaka]

Loudest live band I ever heard.

[FvsFvsFromAntartica]

0:12 origin of the annoying orange

[Rodan100]

Skegness is not Bracing, its shit.

[MastersofallMasters]

Correct me if i'm wrong but is that Pat smear getting

his dome shaved?

[terryfunku]

@MastersofallMasters Nah, it's Ajay Saggar of The Bent Moustache. Dino met him in Europe in the 80's.

[bluemoon9uk]

the best freakin song ever! Its perfect.....

[Bear0cyrus]

Sometimes I think I'll kill you

[trymhimself]

Shit i love Dinosaur jr! Been my favourite band since i was like thirteen.

[saroj011]

Each time they get old, they sound better.

[JackoReaper]

this song makes me feel good inside.J is a monster on guitar.

[snipelfritz]

lol, :35 - :50 I can't tell if Murph is just not giving a fuck and not pretending to play the bass part or if that's actually how he plays it.

[y3k23k]

woah do those guys ever blink!?

[MegaMumbles]

I fucking want those glasses.

[pridefighter93]

its true dinosaur jr has never released a bad song

[veven1290]

man this song makes me wanna dance

[richwicz]

First got into Dinosaur jr by buying You're Living All Over Me, then managed to find their debut album Dinosaur on Homestead Records.Finally,got the album Bug, then lost interest.They seemed to lose something after that album.

[turnerdoober]

I think most people love their first Dinosaur Jr album and then never find that they can compare others to it.

[JayTheHelmetGuy]

@turnerdoober not for me, I own without a sound, but you're living all over me is better in my opinion

[TheDude4077]

@richwicz yeah, Barlow

[cellojordan]

The dude getting his head shaved isn't Gerard Cosloy, is it?

[fakelegache]

glorious tune!!!

[fullmetalfunk]

Hey Globy from, Pee Wee's playhouse at 1:52 on J's guitar.

[Poehr]

Top tune! But what on earth's wrong with the guy getting his head shaved? They're just zipping your hair off, man, not your scalp. Fucking chill!!

[nicolalbanese]

My favourite song of all times

[circusrobots]

i love j mascis

[darwinator12932112]

j mascis has a shit load of big muffs

[zweiosterei]

Best video ever!!

[ochocinco852307]

[SWEETGIRL779]

[kewlkid182]

[wcarloswiliams]

[8scatterbrain8]

[son1cyouth]

[isolation86]

proto-grunge ?¿?¿

[isolation86]

[PEEBLIES]

Can't believe it's twenty years since I first saw this!

[THX1138hxc]

what a mess..

[twizelby]

hey post new band names i will start.

"thomas brigum and the hob noblers"

[lilmikee82]

Number one on my fav songs

Dinosaur Jr- Freak Scene

Sonic Youth-Mote

Husker Du- Dont want to know if your lonely

Blind Melon- Desserted

Helmet- Dissagreeable

[sn4ke0i1]

MOTE WTF!!!

[arokusaki]

the kid getting the haircut looks a lot like Pat Smeer

[klinsmeier]

I remember the day - it was in 1989 - when a visited a good friend of mine, and he told me to take a seat and said: "Listen to that, I think you might like it" and started "Freak Scene". At that time, U2 and Prince were the only kind of contemporary music I could stand.

This new sound (again topped two years later by Nirvana´s "Nevermind")was a revelation to me.

[singingsilas]

My favourite grunge track

[tsbfwistmm]

cool

[bamadawgsc]

fireHose, The Replacements, definitely The Pixies and those listed by GEOpz838, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Smiths....all the way back to The Ramones and Sex Pistols

[Thelaofkazi]

Not really my type of music but I like this band's heavy use of distortion and a bit of dissonance like during the guitar solo.

[rahungry]

I love this song!!! Can anyone recommend any other band from the time that was just as good as D.J. And please dont say nirvana. he he.

[GEOpz838]

Husker Du

Meat Puppets

The Pixies

Sonic Youth

Mudhoney

[FuckingStanz]

the posies.

[youseetoo]

cool!!!

Great band

[allencatband]

some kicks some butt video not so much pretty lame video. gotta love J Mascis and well hell the whole band is great such great indie rock and fuzzy guitar sound.

[DREWBERT79]

Ahhhhh fuuuuuccckkkk yaaaaaaa!

[CLUTCI]

damn I love this song .....DINOGODS

[explosionsfrommybutt]

You want music to be good again? Go out, form a band with whatever instruments you can find. A tin can will work. Just go out and make music!

[cm5891]

That was so fuckin lame dude.

[4dOp]

how the fuck was that lame? sounded pretty smart to me. i guess ur just one of the whordes of losers who sit around on there computers bitching about how good music used to be while contributing nothing musically themselves. YOU are fuckin lame dude!!

[cm5891]

no dude it was fuckin lame. "a tin can will work". come on. it sounds like somethin out of a disney show. but for your information, i can play guitar, drums, harmonica, piano, and i'm pickin up sax. i have a band that plays several times a week. i constantly am writing my own music while introducing others to great music from the talented artists of various generations past by covering their songs. by the way, you need to calm down. no offense or anything. just relax, that's all.

[ArtIsNotForSale]

I'm flexing my muscle

like ken patera - and I'm making out with them like he use to

Where do socks go?

I knew someone who use to sew the holes in their socks

would you ever wear a smock?

[CarrotJuiceProds]

god you guys are crazy

and Haha.. blown out dude. blown out

[jonagwoo]

right on dude

[MrBassMan213]

ill try for you man...ill try

[herbfletcher]

Seen them 30 plus times starting in Amherst back in the mid 80's. Always a great show.

[SvenTwelve]

famous for shit = loser.

[SvenTwelve]

fucking stupid. my x-girlfriend from way back used to love these guys. i guess they are pretty creative, but their entire energy basically totals to a whopping "shirk". she never acknowledged my creative genius, and it always made me angry that she idolized losers and jerks just because they had some noteriety.

[noogies]

your creative genius... no kidding she dumped your ass

[wijaya47]

LMAO!!....NOOB!

[withasideofdanger]

You arrogant asshole. What gives you the right to call yourself a genius?

[allencatband]

video sucks song is sweet considering they were a three man band with that sound is outta this world

[thatrottenzombie]

Dinosaur Jr. rocks. I don't know why people always say that Nirvana was influnced by the the Pixies, they always sounded more Dinosaur Jr. inspired to me. Nirvana had that raw yet catchy sound that Dinosaur Jr. has.

[fullmetalfunk]

Nirvana liked Dinosaur Jr. But Kurt Cobain went as far as to say he should have been in the pixies or atleast a Pixies cover band.

[Waldoxxig88]

3:24 Fuckin freak my mistake

[Waldoxxig88]

3:34 Fuckin freak!

[fullmetalfunk]

I would love to bring this kinda music back, Nirvana, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers circa Blood Sugar, Rage Against the Machine, Pixies, Sublime, Toadies, the first Third Eye Blind record, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam...man so much good music and i'm too young i missed it. Lalapalooza, Burning man, all that. I'm sick of the shit on the radio now. Even rap sucks right now. What happened to rap like A Tribe Called Quest, Snoops early stuff, Dre, KRS-One. I'd love to have music like that back.

[nineblackkasabian]

Early Flaming Lips too

[SpeshelEdTed]

i agree. i mean, 90's music was some of the best rap, some of the best alternative, just a lot of good stuff, and i wish a lot of music today was like dinosaur jr. and such. im not saying theres nothing good today, im just saying the late 80's-and 90's music was some of my favorite music, and nothing will ever be more impressive in my eyes.

[milwaukeebestdry]

Don't worry man! I'm sure all kinda music you mentionned will come back in the next years...People are just tired about this revival bands and this fake hip-hop (I mean crunk) with many crappy synth riffs! The new decade will be the good...I hope!

[SpeshelEdTed]

cant forget hyphy. thats even worse, because here in the bay area people try to emulate rockers and make fun of them at the same time. i really hate rap now. it used to be at least acceptable, because it used to also be about fighting the man, but now all of the god rappers joined corporate society and gave up. now raps in the shitter.

[fullmetalfunk]

I know good stuff will come back around. I play music inspired by late 80's to mid 90's stuff, i would love to be the one to bring it back but I just don't know. The 30's had good jazz and blues, the late 50's and 60's was dizzyingly mindblowing in how far music advanced in such a short time period and how free the music was, and the 90's were awsome. Way i figure, it'll be 2026 before the underground starts playing good stuff and then the 2030's will have good music on the radio again. lol.

[Christonamotorcycle]

Good stuff.

[ElectricYuppie]

Why did they shave that guy's head?

[ajsen1gma]

Because you gotta be in the Freak Scene, man! Now do me a favor and Forget the Swan.

[DREWBERT79]

Soo fucked I can't belive it!!!

[HartyD9]

if ur looking 4 the full dino norwegian wood concert from 12/06/2008 in have it ..click here

[Hun1Ahpu]

perfect video!

[okgo43]

i love this song

[okgo43]

are the begining chords of this song C, E, A?

[SpeshelEdTed]

you know, after playing those chords, that actually makes sense. yeah i think you're right.

[jms6959]

Cool drum kit!

[okgo43]

what an amazing song

[ArtIsNotForSale]

My name is Mascis I'm up to the task I drink out of a flask Dumb asses in slipnot wear masks when are you gonna be through I ask the man who refers to himself as the lonely Jew He replied back 'bout quater after two so I took my bag of balls stood tall and went home

[a1stack]

What?

[RebelThoughts]

Oh man, back when music was pure, poetic, raw, creative, etc. Late 80's early 90's alternative rock was simply amazing. This stuff was in the underground up until Nirvana broke it wide open in 1991. It was an amazing time back then.

[drewtwodeetwo]

thats really good thought actually RebelThoughts, i have to say i agree full heartedly

[CAVERWOOD]

yes - let's ring back the creativity of those times... creativity is one of the few things that works out of time!

[edewit1976]

RebelT - you have this on point - what a time for music!!!

[FoolishDrunkz]

@RebelThoughts Nirvana didn't go to the mainstream, the mainstream came to Nirvana lulz

[donwantstobesedated]

@FoolishDrunkz well put.

[rabbits78]

Nirvana and Weezer owe these guys kudos.

[cm5891]

Very true my man!

[GEOpz838]

Many, many more bands as well.

[digDieterdig]

by far the greatest rock song in history of music. yeah yeah yeah yeah.

[WalkinginBuddhasFoot]

[MrCriticize]

Seen enough to eye you But Ive seen to much to try you Its always weirdness while you Dig it much too much to fry you The weirdness flows between us Anyone can tell to see us Freak scene just cant believe us Why cant it just be cool and leave us? Its so fucked I cant believe it If theres a way I wish wed see it How could it work just cant conceive it Oh what a mess its just to leave it

[THX1138hxc]

the facial expressions in this song are just so badass.

[kttykat09]

*sigh* i was -3 when this song was released...where does my generation get stuck with the gangsta rap

[CrustyJuggler131]

haha i was -3 also, sucks to be forced to listen to gangsta rap eh?

[THX1138hxc]

i wasn't born til '93!

I was relieved of the gangsta rap by my savior of a father!

we both love dinosaur junior.

but i like it all, to tell the truth.

even the gangster rap.

[IndigoShaman1988]

someone put a gun to your head?

[RG17o]

im just starting to get into this band, could u guys list their best songs for me please?

cheers

[bumblefoot92]

look up the track list for fossils it was the greatest hits during there mid carrer

[odelay17]

Its never too late.

My personal favorite is In a Jar.

[brenlover]

Buy their albums.

[allanosterm]

So raw. So real. So great. I really, really love this one.

[diebush77]

im 15 here. doesn't mean im too young to enjoy great music from great bands.

[swhat3]

any one got any trips???

[WarpxD]

i love dinosaur jr videoclips!

[lethalsponge]

[gouvyrock]

[timbak9]

Jesus Christ Rhino, calm down son. Life pass you by or somethin? Uptight!!

[timbak9]

Calm down Rhino son, they're just kids. Jesus christ, did life pass you by or somethin?

[ghost037]

J Mascis is a golden god.

[redheadhat]

i agree with mr 15 year old, essential we shall overcome.

[lolwut3k]

This band is fucking incredible. I'm 15 too and I wish music like this was popular in the mainstream again.

[RhinoGen]

Hey, watch the potty mouth Mr.15. Leave the big words to the adults.

[lolwut3k]

I love it when toolbags like you resort to the age superiority complex to act like a condescending douchebag.

[RhinoGen]

If you love it, then all is good, right? Then why the namecalling. Oh, i get it, you are a confused, immature adolescent. Get used to the age superiority thing, child. Oh, by the way, Dinosaur Jr was never "popular in the mainstream". i know, i lived through it. Loser.

[lynwood223]

All videos should be like this now!

Dinosaur Jr. ROCkS!

I'll rather see people perform random weird stuff on videos than ridin on a fancy car and alot of breezys around them.

[3296856]

Ture, true, true

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

this is what you get to enjoy from people who enjoy the music they make. Dinosaur Jr. continue to be a major inspiration to me in my own writing, just good music with an interesting edge. Awesome shit, no?

[Icrushboulders]

Dinosaur Jr. Fuck Yeah come to save the motherfucking day yeah!

[ariekanibalie]

I pity the fools listening to Kaiser Chiefs and whatever shitpop is out there today, who are somehow under the misguided impression that they rock out. THIS is what it's all about, kids.

[redheadhat]

!!!!dino jr

[NigerianSeafood]

Shit I forgot how awesome Dinosaur are...

[HarrySackthatsme]

that freak reminds me of myself.

thats why dinosaur jr is one of my favorite bands

[xXSAiNTJACKiEXx]

gotta love the glasses

[drubicle]

"seen enough to eye you, but i've seen too much to try you" beautiful fucking lyrics. cheers mates!

[SonOfHank]

Sooooooo good!

[ihateuggboots89]

sexy

[stopthrm]

That waz BEAUTIFUL!

[0371998]

good buzz

[minutegongcoughs]

Quote from J mascis in 1987 "My ambition is to have no ambition". I said the same thing to my careers advisor in 1974!! Ahead of my time or what?

[MagnificentFiend]

I also like what he said to a journalist from (from Melody Maker, I think) who asked him "What kind of music do you listen to?" Mascis replied, "Uh... everything." !

[DanRules89]

ahhaha a wire on the razor

[sophgirl23]

oharamike is a dickface excruciatingly AWESOME

[MetalProxy]

DONT FORGET TO CRANK UP THE VOLUME!!

[morockstars32]

scary but ok song

[BigGordonLips]

is that Danny Hoch in the beginning?

[kkbeats]

great vid one of my favorite by Dinosaur Jr.

[tschrky]

ultimate alternative song

[march2fuzz]

love this video hahah

[marquisethe]

0:24 Is that a Rickenbacker?

[slantedandenchanted]

It is. Lou used a Rickenbacker bass almost exclusively until Dino Jr's equipment was stolen a few years back on the first reunion tour (I think...). He did while in Dinosaur Jr anyway.

[marquisethe]

A sucks for him. Rickenbackers own , especially when played with a pick.

[MagnificentFiend]

hey, fuck you, man

[emokidsblowdick]

lol yeah ohara your a douche

[crisperte]

I saw them in Milan in 1996 and they were great (Jopabi sucka)

[wizardfan7689]

Those glasses are neat.

[macgut]

lol@dinosaur jr. been a 90s band

[Jopabi]

Saw em in a little club in Birmingham last year and it was so loud it made my balls throb. What a fuckin band.

P.s reading a couple of earlier threads it makes you realise what an unbelievable time to be a kid. Pavement, dinosaur Jr, mudhoney, Sonic youth etc. Born in 71. Cheers dad. Check out the Reading line up in 93. reads Like your dream lineup.

[jez9007]

this is my favorite dinosaur jr song

[veven1290]

for some reason when you can't see Lou's face (due to the hair) he reminds me a lot of Dean Ween

is that eric stefani ge
