L7 Pretend We're Dead The Word 1993

[@lebroy1196]

3:42 "come on Terry, get it together". Classic Word.

[@TheOnemanmoshpit]

Before some big wig in a suit dreamt up the phrase "girl power" for the Spice Girls, before Janet Jackson had a "wardrobe malfunction", L7 had done it all, only better!

[@regularnimnule9715]

Yup!

[@Dhakadice]

Donita Sparks literally does it all: She sings, plays guitar AND shows you her pussy on television.

[@paulwalsh2344]

Can't disagree, except that if it weren't for Joan Jett and Wendy O. Williams paving the way... Not taking ANYTHING away from this performance though. These grrrrls rock hard !

[@barneygrumble7611]

A poor woman's The Slits 😉 They're kick ass & cool though compared to most .

[@paulh2633]

Saw l7 as support to faith no more in the uk.. best gig ive been too..

[@andrewlaw]

I was at the Brixton gig. 👍

[@Dhakadice]

That musta been AWESOME! :O

[@dorianleakey]

I tried to see them in cardiff without a ticket, got a ticket of a tout once they had started and so missed L7, sadly.

[@Rogue_Leader]

Everyone remembers where they were when the guitarist out of L7 got her tash out on The Word. It was our generation’s Kennedy.

Hard to believe this was nearly 30years ago.

[@bahamastarry3054]

mobile phones were a mistake

[@andolas100]

you make me feel old:(

[@MrKarnov]

The drummer steals this performance

[@jimhere1]

Absolutely

[@paulwalsh2344]

Dee's the Goddess of Thunder ! I love her ! Almost as much as I love Jennifer... and Donita... and Suzi...

[@Thomas2488]

Arguments could be made for every member. This is my first time seeing them. Total fan now

[@kurtzcol]

those crazy kids and there rock n roll !

[@Safetysweet]

If y’all think this is amazing, check out Nirvana’s performance on the Word in 1991 performing Teen Spirit. Dave’s cymbal flies off at the beginning of the song and Kurt’s vocals are at their best, but man did these girls know how to rock it back then! Love L7!

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

None of them get their minge out though, just sayin.

[@jonahwhale9047]

@@IntrinsicPalomides Nor their tampons. If my recollection of the history of popular culture serves me right.

[@porridgeandbananas]

Tune!

[@dorianleakey]

Wow, this was the same episode where they had cameras on oliver reeds dressing room and lots of booze to laugh at him getting drunk and mucking about in there, then when they told him, in a very intoxicated state he said "what a surprise" in a deadpan voice, it was good as it put him back on top when they were trying to mock him.

[@purorockyaguita]

ONE, TWO,THREE ,FOUUUUR!!!!!

[@gringogreen4719]

Yaaaayyyy!!!! We're dead!!!!

[@andolas100]

When Terry was speechless you knew it was a shocker and Suzi Suz only female i ever thought was hotter than dani

[@billycahill4265]

fuck it they are good

[@moesanchez633]

They r the best!!

[@basscom77]

Gash!

[@concertbroadcast]

Fantastic video, but it's 4:3 not 16:9. Anyway, THIS is the best version of the famous prestation on Channel 4 - The Word. Big thanks

[@MilkySubstance]

It's from the 90's, how do you expect it to be in 16:9??

[@user-mj1qo8vm1x]

Concert Broadcast WHaT a DuMbARse 😂 🔫

[@bendavies1088]

I so remember this and got to say Terry Christian handled it a lot better than Terry Wogan would have done. Why did he never go further on TV?

[@GothPunk-ul8jz]

Oh! I remember watching this live.........Why is modern music so boring?.... What the fuck has happened to Rock & roll?..... where has it gone?

[@mirellaa.f5720]

Hopefully she doesnt do that anymore on stage or any place

Not even in the privacy of her own home?

​@a7n7t7o7n7y you don't see them anymore, but they all used to have them

[@william-kg3bi]

love the band, hate that bubble gum song

[@SevenOfNine-7]

This was considered scandalous at the time when I originally watched it. Rewatching it now, pretty much nothing happens other than a quick flash of a peachy ass and two seconds of beaver.
