L7 - Pretend We're Dead (Live at Hellfest 2015)

Aah, yeah
Aah, yeah
What's up with, what's going down
In every city, in every town?
Cramping styles is the plan
They've got us in the palm of every hand
When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Turn the tables with our unity
They're neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality
When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

These girls are still blowing fuses Love L7.

[@joaned7432]

Donita and all the girls have aged so gracefully! They still rock just like in the 90s, love them

[@christianhafer9819]

I can't speak for others, but I'm a big fan of the drummer. She's excellent.

[@dustcakeboy]

Christian Hafer Dee is BADASS!

[@christianhafer9819]

max I like her.

[@theimaginarygallery5935]

Oh and live, her drums have the most CRISP THICK and Beautiful sound. I specifically remember one show in Lawrence, Ks her drum sound was TOTALLY TIGHT & Perfect!

[@WinnerWare]

Godess of the thunder! Have a look at "L7 Army" at FB

[@fafafofo2]

In the 90s, there was a raffle with the winner getting a one night stand with her.

[@Itsa6stringthang]

I haven't heard this since the 90's . Forgot how good it was...

[@dazzfuck]

They have aged so well

[@matildaharding4293]

[@susanaobrien372]

Makes me think of my childhood. Always love

[@grenvilleman]

Awesome. Just watched them on the word. Brings back memories

[@cpmota]

L7 in Rio 1993. The best.

[@andersooliveira7665]

Maravilhosas!! Mimha época de juventude, 1992!!! Atualmente pos pandemia do novo corona virus, aos 50 anos de idade contínuo gostando muito!!!

[@jamesnorris7274]

Takes me back 25 years! They still have that raw edgy sound, still totally cool. Donita Sparks hasn't lost any of that bolshy attitude (bolshy as in A Clockwork Orange, not bolshy as in bolshevik). The 1992 Reading Festival "Tampon Incident" still stands unbeaten! Thanks for posting this.

[@benjammin3083]

True ,I went to see them at reading that year, I was soaked through and covered in mud and had no sleep because of hitchhiking there through the night, the 90s were the best.

[@foudhartek]

Ha ha! Yeah, Donita " eat my use tampon" !

[@Spazmodik13]

The parents of the crowd would appreciate this way more.

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

Oh this? Its just Bad ass Rock and or Roll folks!!! Feel free to indulge

[@mortysmith862]

Jesus christ, the drummer is still hot!

[@cassioamaral7096]

Damn, sounds really good, gotta love L7! Too bad the crowd is not even pretending they're dead.

[@Walkerman404]

Fuck me if this was the 90s or the early 2000s the crowd would be charging at each other going insane. They were obviously on the way to see Ed Sheeran or Justin Bieber and got lost.

[@jamesnorris7274]

Aw, c'mon man! We're all older, fatter, slower and uglier than we were in the 90's! Been to a Pixies concert lately?

[@Walkerman404]

James Norris can't say I have

At least their not standing around filming the bloody thing on their mobiles like today's dorks

I saw this band back in the day. When they played our local pub. Great show ! It was the 1st time that I ever took speed... I went by myself lol.... I don't do that shit anymore..... Only for young people that crap............

[@cocoedmund5072]

Elles ont très bien vieillies nos adorables punkettes grunge ! elles sont géniales ....

[@ricardodias8882]

no smarthohones rules. punk rules ever. great band since the beginning. thanks l7

[@dirtyunclehubert]

still sounding like on the studio track ? that is quite something. loving it.

[@ThePhoenixw68]

I just watched another song from this event and they cut the sound midtrack to prove that there was no backing track to push/mask ability. This is all them.

[@whosfrogj]

It's sad that they are much older now and don't sound the same imo, but still a good song.

[@brandonrauch4282]

Dee Plaskas is awesome with Drums her heart is set on drumming she Carrie's the best beats across . The three front women Suzi donita Jennifer rock it out donita's voice kills it proudly with so much hate in her voice she creates a power curse that hellfest got its name earned

[@alicegallagher9291]

[@houseofpain3580]

I met them driving their iconic 4wheel drive on CA coast. They picked me up and said they're forming a band called L7. I was a EAGLE SCOUT and asked if there's five band members why not call yourselves L5? The bass player wanted me because I'm Christian but the other four flexed peer pressure and I jumped off their ride. Hate the bands politics, love their music.

[@TheMpo1986]

Ill just file that under things that never happened. Is it a flex to make up stories?

Hell yeah. Donita is 57 years old already and still rocking!

[@jmp7918]

Good song. There is a guy playing the guittar behind the durmmer player. Good song. A hit from the 90s. Good lesbian band.

[@dustcakeboy]

The only man I see behind Dee is holding a camera, not a guitar. And they're not a "lesbian" band. What does make you think that?

[@waverunner7063]

All of them are straight lol

[@dirtypete8750]

Like Jagger and Keith Richards looks 1,000,000 bucks...I love these chicks when they were young and when they're old...Lets not forget part of the charm was not giving a fuck...why is that less cool once they get older?

[@princebusta1st1]

James Norris YES! See all my mates always fancied Jennifer finch when we were youths but for me it was always Donita, She was fucking terrifying, like always looked like she could out drink, out punk you and probably kick your ass but then tear you in half in the sack, what a woman😍😍 lol
