Alkaline Trio- Queen of Pain(Live at the Metro)HQ

[@SA-wy8xq]

what a tune. Remains is where the gems are at.

[@SA-wy8xq]

Wow 21 years ago. 🤯 lucky person to be there and film this - wish this would somehow make a live appearance ever again!!!

[@shady4091]

My god, that voice.

[@francescaolivia9036]

I'm obsessed with this song, as well as every other song from alkaline trio.

[@KJUgrin]

it's a song about a junkie and no matter how much you love her she only cares about her next fix. it might be sad but it's real life and it plays out every day all over the world.

[@alexfinnegan9478]

I like his vocals best here

[@262LittleBit]

Goddammit. So beautiful ❤

[@HeatherRebekah1992]

its about a bipolar girl, no matter how good he is to her she cant be happy because of her illness. queen of pain because he will never stop trying to help her but she isnt strong enough to overcome it and cant feel attached to him.

[@umberto8149]

Its more borderline

[@blinkguy4ever]

You are majesty my king of pain!!!!!

[@HeatherRebekah1992]

@KCgonewild "The stars at night were big and bright, deep in your eyes miss vincent" It refers to vincent van gogh as he made a famous painting called the star at night. they were huge like fire because he saw things distorted, she sees things like the artist did. He killed himself after suffering for years with bipolar disorder. its a very sad song but its lovely

[@darkicity]

the best live performance of this song

[@redskinsfreak614]

I actually like the live version better than the studio version

[@jalk3]

my favourite song of all time

[@1800kook]

I melt with this song

[@WatchMyWorldDissolve]

what a phenomenal ending

[@VioIentGoIdFish]

dont see them play this too often, bit of a shame.

[@KCgonewild]

@HeatherRebekah1992 thank you a lot. know i have a better understanding of the song.

[@ChrisMccann1822]

fuck me i love this band !! best voice ever ?

[@Debbie-qs2xo]

2:10 😖 who is that singing what I guess is back up(but may be lead)? I know Matt sings lead on the song but this part in particular. It's definitely not matt or Dan. "..scars like YAROHRZZzz."

[@ki5895]

Matt sounds really different here (especially in high notes) because he either was sick or lost his voice, I can’t remember. So I think it might be Matt but I’m not completely sure!

[@vadermasktruth]

This has Skiba overdubs all over it.

[@Bundaboy90]

agree. I cringe every time he shows up on the DVD

[@KCgonewild]

why is this song call queen of pain. can anyone explain

[@strayfromlight]

Why doesn't Matt ever play the riffs? :(

[@djanthony9759]

ShadicoTheHedgehog cause riffs aren't cool

[@shady4091]

ShadicoTheHedgehog Because octave chords with no rhythm sound empty as fuck.

[@quinnobropta2539]

+shady4091 like in their cover of 'Metro'

[@HeatherRebekah1992]

@KCgonewild Thats fine :)

[@Constantine1222]

wonder where da cross is now lol

[@kulisap8427]

he fucked up the lyrics at 1:58

[@PaganRaccoon]

A lot of times bands change the lyrics at their shows for some reason

[@shady4091]

He changes the lyrics live quite often.

[@nickjohnson7211]

its better this way

[@robertfrost6421]

This makes the studio version basically unlistenable

[@deanw_666]

Gotta dislike the bloke at the front in the white T-shirt and black hat though. Lol. *cringes*

[@quinnobropta2539]

he looks like he was trippin balls

[@Darkn3ssHerse1f]

HOMOSEXUALITY! sO WHAT

[@maxischmidt1299]

Ok...
