Two notoriously stage shy singers tremble together in the spotlight! Jim Reid said he always had to get very drunk to get up the nerve to sing live - often doing but a very short set.
Hope: "Live, I just get really nervous. Once you're on-stage, you're expected to perform. I don't do that. I always feel awkward about just standing there and not speaking to the audience.It's difficult for me."
-I love Hope's voice,but I don't like Reid's or his phony American twang accent. He's Scottish.
I was watchin Hope and the warm inventions and thought it sounded like sh e could sing with the JAMchain so was surprised when this came up on suggestions not complainin bought head 7 inch just like honey12" and have got the 2 good mazzy albums
Aloof? There's a difference between aloof and plain rude. She told a girl in the crowd who was in love with her and simply said "I love you Hope" that she was distracting her. Puh-lease! Also, the entire crowd were told that if anyone attempted to take a photo, they would be removed from the venue. Get over yourself Hope, you're hardly a superstar these days.
@airmiami shit i honestly hate it when people scream i love you while someone is trying to perform...yeah i get it but it IS distracting...some people don't just sing songs to make money, it's an experience...sometimes hard to replicate...and maybe she doesn't want to be a "superstar" or whatever...obviously she digs her privacy...i would too
Yes SHY is not a big enought word.. She has stage fright. How she performs I have no idea. I saw her at I think it was the First or second Lallapaloza tour back in 92. What a great time the 90s were
Shoe gazing singers that sing a love song to each other. i get a kick outta Hope's facial expressions every time I watch this one. 1994 can I go back?
I really liked your video and your channel. If you need any help getting this video or channel exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position. God Bless!

I agree entirely, what kind of a band are they -always thought they were a bunch of posers? Sound so dull and even Hope's voice sounds without any feeling here compared to Mazzy. I'm never going to listen to this again.
@wowsera yeah but it's Jesus and Mary Chain who are the main writers here... Hope Sandoval just plays and writes music with whoever she's fucking at the time.
While she has always exuded a calm presence (notice how still she stands at the microphone, and yet she seems to speak/mouth the microphone), she has always admitted to be very stage shy; which is why she always preferred to do live shows with the audience lights off. Nevertheless, she seems to have endured plenty of shows with live "lit" audiences and got through unscathed . . . or maybe not, perhaps this is why she "retired" from touring . . .
What ever reason she hasn't put out much music in the last couple of years, I hope she comes back to music. The 90s were way different musically then it is now, but I think there is still an audience for her music. I still love this stuff the best and always had good memories from watching bands like this on 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation in the early 90s. Bavarian Fruit Bread is a favorite album of mine.
I think the Hollywood DisneyWits have taken over the music industry post Nirvana age. Get the kids into prepubescent crappy music early without options and so then theirs nothing after, so then they can sell them insurance and other high priced items as they won't be listening to music anymore except on video game software. HAHAHAHAHAH I just distilled the new century of music in a sentence!! The nineties still had what was left of Rock And Roll gusto!
I would agree although indie music is still were it's at for me. It was getting bad for a while but there is some really good stuff coming out now. I'm glad I'm not a kid these days because alot of corporations like Disney are shoving music down kid's throats as you say. I could say it was different when I was a teen, but you still had stuff like the New Kids. But, there was better stuff like Mazzy Star and Nirvana, also. It's funny to play this stuff and kids are like "who is this? I like it."
I was playing this back now and noticed a Youtube anomally with the sound. I think that Youtube has started decoding or uncoding the sound. The HQ version sound is less dynamic but the original sound in Normal Q has sonic flaring. It was not like this a couple of months ago. This screws up my recordings from back then. I don't know it has to do with my original HiFi VCR settings or what? It definitely SOUNDs better in normal though, despite the sonic flaring
I don't know what her dress is made of at that time. But I've noticed that she tended to perform in minidresses and skirts; in fact, I have only seen her in jeans on a few photos.
What happens when ONE of the MOST ENCHANTING female voices and ONE of the MOST INNOVATIVE post punk bands EVER collide?
The Scottish (Glasgow-based) noise pop quintet invited Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star / H.S. & The Warm Inventions) to a duet for the beauteous "Sometimes Always", here, live in the U.S.
BTW, The Jesus And Mary Chain will be performing in LIMA (November 6th '08)! THANX to Automatic Entertainment 'cos this will be a BLAST !!!!!
Or even Spice Girls, were still a couple of years in the future. This was a better time. Remember Nirvana playing the MTV awards ? and not a Pussy cat Dolls like now? Its embarrasing but the music scene has NO shame, since Disney took it over, at the beginning of the decade.
sometime in the mid-90s viacom bought MTV, then gobbled up radio stations (KROQ and many many more), then viacom chopped up music into 3 genres (tweenie pop, punk pop, and hip-hop) and blasted these thru MTV and radio.. Disney came in later to ruin things more by competing with viacom by creating a boy band & pop slut machine thus creating what we have now.. TOTAL BULLSHIT!!!
Thats right radio is where it all went wrong at the beginning of the process. The format shit is bad. Remember when Lennon died, all the radio stations played his songs. Many years later Harrison died and there was like one station playing (not Beatles or Harrison) but Traveling Wilburies in the city. Times like that remind me that this industry is a crime.
