Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains (Live)

Garbage from Germany in April 1996 performing "Only Happy When It Rains" on the "Rockpalast" TV show, which has featured almost ever major rock musical act in the world since 1974.

Shirley Manson - lead vocal
Steve Marker - guitar
Duke Erikson - guitar
Butch Vig - drums
Daniel Shulman - bass

Garbage was formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1994 by producers and longtime friends Marker, Erikson and Vig. All three had enjoyed success as producers of albums during the new "grunge" movement, especially Vig who had helmed Nirvana's "Nevermind" and the Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream". They recruited Edinburgh, Scotland native Manson, of the band Angelfish and previously Goodbye Mr Mackenzie, to be the lead singer. The band is best known for the hits "Stupid Girl", "#1 Crush", and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains". Manson's sultry voice and seductive lyrics backed by pulsing rock, pop, techno and trip hop beats made the band one of the most mainstream and commercially successful bands born from the alternative rock movement of the early to mid 90's. Their worldwide popularity following the release of their second album, "Version 2.0", in 1998 led them to be tapped to perform the title theme to the 1999 James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough". They have headlined several world tours and also opened for Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt and U2. The band is currently on hiatus after releasing their last album of new material in 2005 and a greatest hits album in 2007. Manson is scheduled to appear as a regular cast member on the FOX TV show "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" when it returns for it's second season in September 2008.

Of all the Shirley "eras", this is my second favorite look of hers. (The first being the longer, bright red hair of the BLM period.)

Wonderful. I am always amazed by the fabulousness of what can be found on Youtube. Thanks for posting this video.

Well, I have to be honest, I love Shirley and her great body, amazing voice and her Scottish accent trigger something in me.. but now that I think of it, it is also her eye especially in the video "I'm Only Happy When it Rains." Love Shirley. Love GARGABE. And, I am a total U2 fan and it was so amazing to listen to Shirly as DJ when she interivewed U2 as an LA jj when they first released NLOTH!!!

Saw Garbage live 5 times. They and Shirley are fucking amazing!!! I was third row center in Minneapolis when they opened up for Alanis Morisette and I still regret not going completely nuts when they opened up with Temptation Waits - I was the only one who seemed to want to stand and I wished now that i would have rushed the stage not to be creepy but to convey my love for this band!!!
