LIMBLIFTER "ARIEL VS LOTUS"

[@Von_YT23]

2024 - Still epic.. loved this song back then and even more today

[@0truckmafk]

why did i take good music for granted in the 90s? now good music is rare.

[@kylegrossi8175]

dude! agreed. i find myself going back to all these 90's bands now. not sure what it is, but i feel like new music has less substance, or maybe i just can't relate now that I'm older??

[@BaconSenpai]

This was released in 2000 you dumb bandwagoner. MUH 90S!

[@BamadeusTTV]

which makes it on the cusp of the 90s. a lot of the same musical styles were still prevalent then, and you could easily lump this song and band in with a lot of the mid-late 90s scene. But hey, as long as talking down to others with your "muh" meme makes you sleep at night...

[@BaconSenpai]

He's 100% right though, 90s nostalgia is a meme. Music is greater than ever if you take the rose tinted goggles off. Not saying this is bad though. Hell, half the people that say "I miss the 90s!" Were like 5 years old at the time.

[@Daws867]

@@BaconSenpai MUH, BACON! Keep playing old games and dwindling in life...the raw is real.

[@thedealbreaker]

Ah! Glad to hear it! It's my pleasure to share this stuff, my friends and I had a great time making these things! And I'm stoked that people still remember.

[@artgarfunkelsgingerfro2886]

Can't believe these guys weren't huge. Saw them play live a bunch of times. Put on a great show.

[@bryfar4199]

You didnt see I mother earth in 1990 did you?

[@artgarfunkelsgingerfro2886]

@@bryfar4199 I've seen I Mother Earth before. Definitely not as early as 1990 though.

[@undeadpriest]

they were in their own right. not everyone is the beatles but they will forever be ingrained in Canadiana. the real travesty is zoomer djs at various locations not knowing enough to add a song like this to their playlist

[@60phan]

Another Grossly Underrated Band! Soooo Amazing!

[@embassyhotel]

I miss the 90's so badly man, i was in high school in the mid 90's & grew up in a small town called St.Marys which is 45mins outside of London,Ontario & we would go see so many great Canadian bands at Western Fair Grounds in the summer time like The Tea Party,I Mother Earth,13 Engines,54-40,Sloan,Our Lady Peace,Econoline Crush,Wide Mouth Mason,Moist,Big Sugar,Rusty,The Gandharvas,Salmonblaster.& we would catch some shows at Call the Office,The Embassy Hotel,Western University as well.

[@LoneCanadianPoet]

I Went To Gimli, Manitoba In 1996 For Sunfest... Camping At That RaceWay For Three Days, Watching Concerts From The Barenaked Ladies, Moist, HeadStones, Farm Fresh, Tom Cochrane, Colin James...+++....It Was Muddy So Muddy And Rainy... I Remember Takeing A Bath In Lake Winnipeg...

[@embassyhotel]

That sounds like a great time with some really awesome Canadian bands!!!!! Especially The Headstones who i seen in London,Ontario back in the mid 90s for an outdoor festival.

[@Rawdiswar]

Fuck yeah! I'm from Listowel. Remember when Sloan played in Palmerston?

[@dirkshrubb]

i'm in my mid twenties and miss the mid 2000's...

[@embassyhotel]

Metal Mayhem in the 2000's really sucked.

[@chrislloyd4984]

Awesome song. Yeah, I miss the 90's. But this song is timeless.

[@scott-ryanabt6039]

Saw them open for 5440 in Vancouver the other night. I'd forgotten about this song and this band. But here we are, great song.

[@Red1491]

This song was stuck in my head and driving me nuts for weeks. Couldn't remember the band or song name. Finally randomly popped up on KZbin. 2024!

[@420homegrown420]

Discovered these guys through Big Shiny Tunes. God I miss the 90s

[@MrPorsche91730]

As an adult we all want to be kids again. Were our childhoods really that good or is it the world that awaits us when we become adults hell?

[@allanmarwood5887]

I named my daughter after this song.. Ariel... she's 12 now.

[@davidlevy4291]

that's awesome!

[@gordo4044]

That takes balls

[@M5R.]

im naming my daughter tinfoil

[@trollking99]

She's 18 now.

[@DavidLee-tz1sc]

Such an amazing band! The whole 90's Canadian music scene was great we were lucky to be part of that.

[@Revidescent84]

Goddamn, Ryan was perpetually ahead of his time. Some people make the blueprint, others just paint by the numbers..

[@motorjuice]

Mounties with Ryan (2014) got me back here. Canadian Collabs shining brilliantly!

[@klinsmeier]

Sloan mixed with Placebo, another newly discovered band of the 90s 20 years later - Thanks for youtube, I probably wouldn´t have found this as a record in a store or heard it on a German radio station.

[@BaconSenpai]

How are you getting a Sloan vibe from this?

[@famousforever8556]

I'm guessing you've never heard of Age of Electric

[@daryno4267]

@@famousforever8556 aren't they the same guys or some of the same?

[@dirtybird99]

@@daryno4267 No different bunches of guys. Todd and John Kearns later formed a band called Static in Stereo while the Dahle brothers went on to form Limblifter. The were all from Saskatchewan. Sloan was from Halifax Nova Scotia but I know much less about the members. AoE opened for ALL the big shows in Alberta back then. ;)

[@theoriginalorange]

I don't really hear Sloan but definitely Placebo 😊

[@hobbes937]

I live right on the border to Canada, so I grew up on Canadian rock. I loved how Canadian bands didn't sellout to the big American record labels. In my opinion Canadian rock from the 90's is the best, not so sure about the new stuff. Especially Nickelback, they can go pound salt.

[@BaronVonQuiply]

I'm near the border, too, and Canadian Rock is Best Rock.

[@Amaralde]

Nickelback sold out

[@justinkelemen1810]

my fav Canadian rock bands from the 90's Age Of Electric, Limblifter, Rusty, Killjoys, Pluto, Odds, Bloody Chicklets, Sloan, and I Mother Earth, I am probably missing a bunch but there were so many smaller bands who should have been bigger than they were.

[@eric7922]

there’s still good chit coming out Canada, but never mind NickelDrake...

[@EERIEBANDANA]

The USA made expensive experiments

[@bobomchobo]

Love to see this stuff again. I remember watching AOE and Limblifter on Much Music all the time (back when they played music...novel concept, I know). Missed this song.

[@ACDCRULESALL]

ive had partial lyrics to this song without knowing the name or who it was by for literally years.... FINALLYYYYYYYYYY god damnit that feels good to know where and who it was from

[@karakickass]

This song is so catchy. Man I love this band.

[@srv2low4me]

I kept hearing this song on the radio and could never figure out who it was or what the name of the song was, and then as I'm going through Limblifter songs it starts playing...MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN!

[@Mj-zj6gm]

Infact your songs still get stuck in my head. So many times I sang this to myself lol

[@cole4700]

This song kicks some serious ass!!! Plus it just sounds great too!!

[@JaneF]

The annex and opera house during the early 90s - so glad I got to live that.

[@GaryHubbs]

2002, Champagne’s Nightclub in Surrey BC - Ryan pouring shots of whiskey into styrofoam cups on stage and passing them into the crowd. Epic night

[@buzz851]

Found this cd used at fye in Buffalo, I could not believe my luck! Great album.

[@BIGREDDOG09]

I can't get over the vocals in this song, it's driving me nuts

I still remember discovering these guys from Jonovision, classic times.

[@NanDrummer]

This is an awesome song , liked it ever since I heard it on CFox when it was released. This song is always on my "gym" playlist because it has such a steady beat , it's easy to keep in time with your cardio workouts. It's always #2 on my list and helps me get warmed up. Of all the songs I use to work out to , this one is always on #2. Great lyrics , great song. Good job.

Such a great tune. I wish I could write like that!

thanks for putting this on youtube, very very good band/songs. just bought the two latest cd by ryan dahle, cause I was able to check out his music on this channel. except for the lucky few, being a musician is one of the worst paying jobs on the planet. so, yeah, fantastic songs, great talent, no money. it happens a lot.

This was the song that introduced me to these guys and Age plus the other projects they were involved in.

[@pfmrokman]

Great post!! I'm a child of the 70's and I've heard it all. This is easily one of the best songs a Canadian band put out in the last 40 yrs. I think the backing vocals are the key. And the bass player's playing a 'Ricky' (how Canadian is that) Thanks for the post. If pressed it might not make the top 10, but it's gotta be up there.

[@jaysonmcewen4056]

Agreed. This is a brilliant Rock song.

wtf this song was on the radio for like 2 weeks and disappeared./ deserved a lot more airplay

[@edkarter7062]

Thanks to brain dead programmers ! Once heard same song last hour of a shift Friday and first hour Monday. The thing is the band had way better songs with zero airplay ??? Had a friend who worked on air and he managed to get ahead of schedule. He played the perfect song to fill the time . PD calls all pissed off. What do you want 5minutes of dead air or talk??

[@thedealbreaker]

[@thedealbreaker]

bets86 - Limblifter was hardly "indy" apparently in your world the word "hardly" means "completely". Limblifter were 'indy'. They released their records in canada under their own label, with no financial support from ANY other label. This music video for example, was shot with a $15,000 budget, paid entirely by Videofact (funded by much music).

Looks like you been skewled bets!

[@davidwhitehouse94]

Good band..lots of Canadian bands from 90,s that didn't suck

It makes me sad that Limblifter never really hit it big. They totally deserved fame. At least Ryan is gaining some fame from his solo career and Kurt and Todd are gaining fame from The New Pornographers!
