Meat Puppets - Violet Eyes

[CrazyBear65]

My favorite Meat Puppets tune... :)

[mrjon75]

Come back to Houston again MP! I'd love a Butthole Surfers/Meat Puppets show at the House of Blues! Is that really too much to ask?

[mrjon75]

Who is on drums? That bass sounds good considering it is headless lol.

[meatpuppetbhoy]

@mrjon75 Derrick Bostrom who was the original drummer.

[IronWhoaMan]

these guys are the everly brothers in disguise! just longer hair! :-D POWER TRIO EXTRAORDINAIRE LIVE! the braddahs ROCK!!!

[grossboy517]

if that smile from curt at 2:50 doesnt make you smile i dont know what does

[ShakingZero]

their new album Lollipop is great!

[espet9]

Meat Puppets were the Nirvana before Nirvana

[jeannine4711]

one of my all time favorite songs off of one of my all time favorite CDs! Meat Puppets are the best!

[Invisiblegirlswatchn]

What do you think it's about??

[Fanta666]

@Invisiblegirlswatchn heroin?

[jiraylalo]

Mother master, some things must be Plastic master, this is for free You give off a dark Seems larger than life Violet eyes Plastic master, smoke drifts from a rose Timber empire, able to explode Cut open the box Out rushes the night Violet eyes Plastic baby, Rope drifts through open holes Robot Kingdom, fables will explode Cut open the box Out rushes the night Violet eyes

[Remeday]

A band doesn't have to have a huge fanbase to know they have true fans. It's awesome they did instore performances. They even did an instore performance for Sewn Together. Puppets are the king of Cowpunk!

[lambonthelam]

@Remeday Your totally right. And you know why they do instore perfomances? I'm gonna guess that's because they just fukin' love playin. So the place is not really important.

;)

[lordstompy]

I can't believe they pulled off such an awesome stomping heavy song as an acoustic version in a shop! Bravo boys!

[voltronsky]

they never should have agreed to play live like this at stores... they were too humongous for their own good.

[soulasylummeatpuppet]

i know the meat puppets still tour. there coming out with a new CD soon.the sound on this video is great first time ive heard VIOLET EYES live thanx for putting this out.

[garriswh]

Why do so many people talk about the Meat Puppets in the past tense? They still tour today and they put on a great live show. LONG LIVE THE PUPPETS!

[Beerpaw2487]

@garriswh a fucking great live show!!!!!!

[valldou]

u sure can tell they were friends with Nirvana back in the days, they played togherher a bit

[MrShandonian]

derrick's playing on this is AMAZING love the middle break hi-hat thing he is doing..

[edwinmusic]

gRUNGE'S INSPIRATION RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[friendofsyd]

What a great song , curt is amazing even on the acoustic, never really heard much of him aside from nirvana, i'm glad chris is alive

[Theinsult]

Raw Meat Puppets. Good stuff.

[c0ommonsense]

hicks ur right in some case ....

and true creativity is dying because everyone s freetime is too calculated ....

i dont like the ways school & work s growing up like huge tumors and noone knows exactly why everyone has too much stress .... u dont believe me - ask people on the streets ...kids are so well organized and implemented ...its strange . its the i pod generation : )

its something new , lets see what it brings .

[southpaw89er]

@c0ommonsense Yep, I completely agree with you. We'll never see bands like the meat puppets again. Creativity really is dying out :(

[hicks727]

sorry kids...modern music is over......there well never be bands like this again......you are stuck with the jonas bros....yeah...yeah....there are good bands out there....but TRUE creativity is dying......like the human race..........ok francis lighten up.......

[yagottahaveyourbaby]

@hicks727 The problem is, is that kids are not learning how to play their instruments. You don't have kids spending 8 hours a day holed up in their room with a guitar or some sticks; not with the internet facebook, porn and youtube. Shame

[JK56034]

@yagottahaveyourbaby You're right,and I'm one of them.

[ivangrozni]

kurt cobain knew good music....

[zippywaite]

[snowgod37]

Puppets go.. puppets ... puppets...

[funzonetoo]

It's like a little gift from God.

[koko7779]

Love These Guys!!!

[JulesNIndian]

Like this song :)

[Wormtongue13]

Love those morose dorks standing around in the background with their arms folded.

[rotagen5]

This is a message from god.....they're too good to be human. Seen this maybe 200 times,

I need it every day.

[bierinderflasche]

[snuffleguff]

Go Bostrom!

[louiseduvee]

Oh Hell Yes! Thanks!

[Steenville]

This is great! Takes me back to the nineties.. :-)

[teonan7]

Great drums!

[Joee1257]

it isnt on no joke...its too high to die

[justanaveragejustin]

good show.  No Joke is by far my favourite of their albums.

[Rightsideup]

Now THIS is phenomenal!!!!!!!!!

[SnarfBanks]

i prefer this to the electric version.

[LoSDepTo22]

maaaaaaaannnnnnnn the meat puppets were so great in so many levels!!!!!!!!!!!!

[distillersdemon]

Ahhh this is awesome. :)

[samuel588]

Too High to Die could be there best album.

[dellboid]

ooo Up On The Sun for me, Too High to die is cool though.

[samuel588]

Fair enough. I like All their music

[beth1706]

Same here bro, except for mirage, that album doesnt really do anything for me.

[samuel588]

Cool, ive never heard Mirage so I couldnt say. But Too high to die, is definiately one of my favourite albums of the Meat Puppets.

[dellboid]

its a bit more pshychadelic than any of the others, put the recording sound like they were done on some midi player or something, and alot if the songs lack any real character. as much as i love the puppets i think the a

[dellboid]

album is at best average.

[GEOpz838]

I agree

[HartyD9]

u can definitely see the grunge in this tune

[anuscake123]

what goes on in this dvd?

[dellboid]

this is weird....but great at the same time, love it!

[salasola]

I also agree that this is the most impressive performance on the Alive dvd. Awesome.

[dullsville]

If you look behind Curt some guy has a lunchbag.These had "Meat Puppets Munchies Tour" silkscreened on them.Inside ,you got a bag of Munchos chips,a plastic hamburger keychain and a Too High to Die sticker....so funny.

[mellowthreat]

LOL man id totally buy that!

[rotagen5]

I'm SO glad someone put this up, best on the dvd. It is the one song that proves how f*cking tight a band can be. Like a finely tuned motorcycle engine windin thru the redwoods....SICK.

[samuel588]

I love the meat puppets

[milesofsmiles]

is that dude playin drums with chopsticks??

[closetome]

stonking......love these guys

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxx

[Joee1257]

[FuadAbermatic]

[dullsville]

It's a really cool DVD, and you'll get a nice price on it too.
