The Breeders Belly Afghan Whigs on The Jon Stewart Show 1993

Cannonball, Gepetto, Gentleman plus some extra bits

[@sstaners1234]

The Deal sisters are awesome

[@markwilliamson4834]

The Whigs were on fire!

[@katherinehollis4055]

The Whigs is a different band. Fyi.

[@medicineman360]

Thank goodness for Gen X, as far as music goes. And thank goodness for Kim Deal.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

Kim and Kelly Deal are Boomers, not Gen X.

[@mifune3000]

Greg Dulli is the best front man - fucking force. Been a fan since the 80's

[@elgiacomo]

6:39 Belly's performance of "Gepetto" was absolutely magnificent! OMG! \m/ \m/

[@thesonoras8978]

Wow! Thanks for posting 😊 90’s kid here with attachment for Belly ❤

[@iloveyoubebe]

The 90s was sucha cool time

[@bandawhat33]

I miss the 90's

[@joyarria6675]

I love and miss old school Dulli

[@igotjams1]

Yup, he didn't fk around

[@jkempf71]

Have you been to a show recently? He still has it.

[@yvettedouglass4642]

This is gold!

[@davidhudson4542]

God I miss the 90’s. Where have all the good rock bands gone.... seriously, there is nothing these days.

[@bleached3360]

David Hudson you just aren't looking for it

[@xx-ug9hn]

There's so many great bands now, same as anytime

[@hux2000]

@@xx-ug9hn Nah, Auto-Tune ruined rock. Everything these days sounds robotic; all the humanity got stripped out. The 90s were true rock 'n' roll's last, great, balls to the wall moment.

[@oehlda2000]

There are some. I've been looking at the musical guests for SNL and most of them are solo artists or not rock. For example, for season 49, only 2 musical guests were not solo-- the Foo Fighters and Boygenius, who I like. season 20 featured 11 bands. That a HUGE difference.

[@ColorsBright]

Tanya is so darn cute! ❤️❤️❤️

[@garybeltrand5802]

I remember all the people with bad taste in music back then not "getting" the genius of the Afghan Whigs and thinking they sucked. MTV tried to push them for a while but I knew they'd never catch on huge. Everyone wanted to hear Del Amitri or some shit.

[@vaughnmild4467]

He had some kick ass performances on that show. I found some Helmet stuff that was incredible, then this blew my mind.

[@paulmills9933]

Great video, thanks for uploading. Saw The Breeders live this week, seeing Belly in a couple! It's like 1993 all over! :)

[@dirtydave2691]

I have loved Belly since the early nineties. Always makes me feel good. I used to play the shit out of them after mountain biking!

[@williamjoshualucas6503]

this should be the entire wikipedia article of "The 1990s"

[@oooBUBU7ooo]

I didn't know the Breeders ever played Mad Lucas in their original run, wow!

[@mikefinney423]

25 years later, I still know exactly why I had an all-out star-crush on Tanya Donnelly. There has been no hotter female singer in an alternative band since that girl in Bow Wow Wow, but I think she was underage.

[@julosx]

I don't think so (she was 27 in 1993).

[@mikefinney423]

julosx Not Tanya, I was referring to the chick from Bow Wow Wow. LOL.

[@imvandenh]

I'll second that. She is a beautiful person in every way and an amazing songwriter. I met her some years ago when she was playing a small theater as a solo artist and told her that I had a mad crush on her when I was a teenager and I ended up marrying a girl who looks a lot like her. She said she's heard about a lot of guys crushing on her and has never understood it. She doesn't think she's anything special.

[@danz4341]

i know this is a year later now, but you should check out Eisley. The lead, Sherri has strong Tanya vibes.

[@arnphawk]

damn i feel old....53

[@mifune3000]

Same same. But we have the unique experience of knowing the 80's and 90's before social media. IT's golden

[@igotjams1]

53 is the new 33. I love turning up the volume on the Afghan Whigs Gentlemen and especially Black Love. Greg Dulli can really spin some dark and twisted stories in his songs

[@fulviolumachi4940]

BRAVIII. BRAVEEEEE!!!

Hannah Montana on bass.

Morrisey on guitar

[@setphaser]

omg belly! so good!!!

[@joyarria6675]

Anyone actually click on this for the other tweo bands? I have a feeling it was all about Greg Dulli / Afghan Whigs performance, and maybe the cig chug. lol

[@NxDoyle]

No. While I enjoyed Afghan Whigs, my click started & ended with Kim Deal.

[@Brokenface]

I clicked for the Breeders but i enjoyed a lot Afghan Whigs, Belly was ok 😅

[@elgiacomo]

And I click every time for "Gepetto".

[@krissymarklewis1793]

what Afghan Whigs song is that?

[@TheWonderer7]

Gentleman!!!!!!

[@guddergo7116]

The nurture song

[@igotjams1]

Gentlemen "Understand, I'm a gentleman, a gentle man. Now git yo ass over here!"

[@nussramfakhir6560]

I wish i dated one of the Deal sisters in the 90s

[@langdonboom]

yeah ya do

[@pepitobenegas]

wow, when you see singers nowadays, singing with autotune or lipsynching and not playing any instrument, you feel depressed.

[@vinfluenza]

who knows the name of the second Breeders song here? Help, pls.

[@franklinholdren1252]

Йося Джугашвили Mad Lucas kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXmwi2uViLd7aMU

[@vinfluenza]

tnx a lot, man. Charming song. How you about new album?

[@keithg1313]

"Mad Lucas" - 9th song on the album, Last Splash

[@franklinholdren1252]

Love the new album. Some great stuff. Better than the last 2. Almost as good as their first album Pod.

[@Dulcimerist]

Pod was an awesome album! That was back when Tanya Donnely, the lead singer of Belly, was with them!

[@chriscollins7852]

What is the inspiration to this tune? General rage against the machine??? Solid tune for sure from a bunch of chicks.

[@langdonboom]

you're gonna have to be more specific! Which tune, which "bunch of chicks"?

[@xTheOxx]

Belly was alright, but clearly not on the same level as those other 2.

[@bumble1057]

Or one of the best bands ever?

[@terrysommers7239]

meh. i'm not surprised the 'afghan wHigs went' mostly noWHere. never heard of them an d i listen to them now, i'm not inspired at ALL.

[@igotjams1]

You were either too young or listening to burned out Arrowsmith and GNR

[@diogopinto9462]

That second band with the Blondie is really weak jkkkkkkk

[@zandre007]

I had to stop watching Belly performance for that super irritating bass player. Did she really think she was hip? Why did Fred Abong leave Belly? They were such a great band before he left. Hiring this no-talent bass player instead of Fred was the beginning of end for Belly. Listned to Tanya solo work (Lovesongs, whiskey tango..) - definitely better than King or Dove.

[@langdonboom]

Haha! It went over better live than on TV that's all I can tell you

[@angelotsi849]

Fred Abong left for the same reason that Leslie Langstone left Throwing Muses who Fred replaced. They were fed up with the music industry and went to live a normal life.

[@Flibbybibby]

Breeders have always come across like a bunch of hipsters who just picked up musical instruments for the first time! Plop. Flush.

[@danduntz2539]

You must hate the Pixies too then…
