Local H- Cynic

[@MegaMumbles]

No matter how much I love Nirvana, the Sex Pistols, or Slayer, this band will always remain my favorite band of all time.

[@andynelson7428]

local h fans are the best fans such a good following for such an underrated band

[@9326metal]

Known about this band for only maybe 7 years thanks to KZbin. This shit is timeless. Better later than never. Entering my 30s jamming this shit whiling grinning and bearing what fucked up shit humanity is about to deliver have a feeling we're in for a ride. Buckle up smoke some green and jam to good shit like this. Need all the good vibes we can get lol.

[@Turtletoots3]

It's not that Nirvana is overrated, just that all the other grunge bands are underrated.

[@WocklessGamingforAnimeMoms]

Why not both?

[@9326metal]

Yesssssss!

[@robertoforni5559]

Responsability grunge band. Greetings from São Paulo!

[@AJBR88]

Best two piece band ever.

[@scottiebaird]

...and it's a two piece, I remember this when I was in the States. Simply awesome.

[@bakermakingbread]

Damn just realized this was posted on the day KZbin was made

[@jeff7764]

Yup I remember going on it for the first time like it was yesterday. Time is flying, wtf

[@adamsexton1388]

*screeech... ... ... ... ...YEAH!

[@screenieyt2478]

I wish there was a higher quality video of this somewhere

[@sunnystrathern8396]

Couldn't believe it when they played this at tonight's show in Glasgow!!!

[@kaydiddle5945]

Holy Shit.. I did not know this existed. I can't deal..

[@jaketheman091]

I never stuff from "Ham Fisted" had videos. Awesome! Theyre still one of my favorite grungies

[@JackoReaper]

this is the kind of music i play on the guitar and i love playing this way.

[@dummytree]

Criminlally underrated post-grunge band. And Joe Daniels, we miss you !

[@nobody44787]

Hello, you life?

[@cadej.7749]

Love it. Reminds me of Nirvana

[@luckyclamp5158]

Scott’s vocals are so unique I love it.

[@genmaximus110]

I always wanted to grow my hair out because of Scott. I never got around to it. But now I am growing it out to donate my hair. Seeing this video again reminds me of good times.

[@KingGingerbread5O]

Joe Daniels is a beast on drums..

[@ouderland]

I saw them on this tour with COC. Scott ran down from the stage and sold all the merch. I got a shirt that said “ Twentynothing” ,wore it until it disintegrated.

[@lcclohisy334]

Today's wordle reminded me of this song.

[@gfarrell3]

@WarmothGuitarist Local H formed in 87. Nirvana also formed in 87 Seattle and Chicago. Many miles apart. They are the results just as "Sub-Divisions" by Rush had predicted. Garage bands were now grunge bands. All over the country. Technology also boomed which made it easier and much faster to spread music. Just how I remember it...

[@WarmothGuitarist]

For those of you making Cobain references, it's gotten old already. The comparisons have been played out after 16 years since his death. The fact is that Nirvanaesque music was all around the country, and merely needed to surface from the underground. If record companies had promoted Local H first, then we'd be calling Kurt Cobain a Scott Lucas wannabe. In all honesty, you could even say that Nirvana stole their style and sound from the Boston hardcore scene...making them ripoff artists.

[@deepfriedoverdrive]

The funny thing is, Local H and Nirvana formed the same year. It took a while for Local H to put out a record because they weren't out in Seattle during the grunge heyday.

[@thisismy7thusername]

love this song! just discovered these guys! those youtube recommended videos ARE good for something lol

[@newwavepigtails]

Hee heeee...that's me and the late Pepper in the video! Yep, that's me in the garish make-up....ugh....

[@krilla]

I got to take his place once on stage. This was about 95 ot 96. I still have the sticks. Great fucking time.

[@zachharris55]

this is bad ass

[@2fparedesmejiamelisa221]

❤

[@JackoReaper]

im telling my band mates to play this kind of style i think it would be cool.

[@heatherdurds]

two piece band? holy fuck.

[@JackoReaper]

i look up to these guys.i like there powerful music style .i get most of my guitar playing tips from.

[@mrcool665]

I met Scott Lucas last week and he talked to me like a friend. How cool is that? That is a sure way to gain fans.

[@bobsirebob]

I love the quality of these vids.... I watch almost every other day. Thanks for posting

[@xrtgx22]

Picked up a mint copy of this album the other day at newbury comics. now i have three copies for the sake of collecting, I think i'm obsessed?

[@Getorix]

Yeah, I never knew what so many people saw in SP, a lot of people would be all surprised when I told em that I thought they blew. They're like "what?! how can you hate them?!" "cause they suck..." The only song I like by them is that Rat In A Cage song, just because I used to hear it all the time as a kid.

[@Narzylok]

saludos desde calama san pedro de atacama Chile

[@donwantstobesedated]

@ByEmptinessAbducted Local H's first album does sound a lot like Nirvana (and a bit like Smashing Pumpkins) but they really evolved their sound over their next few albums.

[@Maniaxxe]

this video is awsome. it looks like a video you would watch wen smoking weed

[@Wayne--O]

crushing it!!! loving it!!!

[@MetalSiicken]

Why aren't they recognized more!!!!

[@zeroXcrossing]

Dang! These guys rocked hard! They never really got the attnetion they deserved.

[@InvaderEmerald]

He went to be the owner of a Children's Clothing Shop in Illinois with his Wife. =D

[@saboteur31]

i swear this band is so aswesome

[@aeonbollig666]

greatness....pure greatness

[@junmafia]

brings back memory of the grunge generation nirvana and pearl jam

[@jkbezo]

Bad Ass Group, Bad ass song!!

[@jkbezo]

LOL, A lot of ole skool potheads could relate to that. I remember watchin this video w/my cousin in the early 90s on some Beavis &Butthead episode. Hell, we smoked hella bud in those days, lol. 1990s were fuckin fun, dawg!!! I pity the new generation. I am married now with 3 kids now(been in the Army and College). Hip Hop m was good /Rock was good lIfe was good , everything, man. Maybe the 2010s will be a btter decade, but the Clintonb Dayus were awesome.

[@InvaderEmerald]

First time I saw this video, I had a nightmare. XD

[@Capitano81]

very Nirvana like... love it

[@p3drNosolution]

I really wish that the quality on either my computer, or the video was better, it still sounds really good, but it's really fuzzy and hollow

[@bagamingshow]

As fucking hard as this song goes and the goofy music video is if you listen to the lyrics this song is really deep. Like it hits so close to home for me.

[@thatunicornhastheaudacity]

These guys rock!

[@donwantstobesedated]

@ByEmptinessAbducted Cynic is a pretty good band too.

[@akunmano]

Yeaaaahh! dude! nice band!

[@genmaximus110]

Local H's best song. I love Cynic. Ham Fisted is their best album.

[@69420thatguy]

Chicago's best kept secret for sure.

[@popisfizzy]

Apparently they've been recording a new album.

[@Pretoserio]

WOW !!!!

[@PomagranatePuma]

I'm pretty sure it was because Nirvana was around and just kinda blew them over. Otherwise I have no idea who they got overlooked. I love them and unfortunatly missed seeing them in concert.

[@xrtgx22]

ham fisted is fucking amazing.

[@Aquais97]

That epic album made me head bang so hard because the beat of the drums were epic.

[@popisfizzy]

Missed? They're still together (though Joe Daniels left the band and has been replaced by Brian St. Clair) and they still tour.

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

@Sappy22889 No thats more Spastic Ink and Cynic that are Fucking amazing and way too underated.

[@amdew1970]

Great song. I was not a fan of this band but, they did have some truly talented members. They also had a few really great songs from the first record. RECORD, not tape or cd.

[@DM01710]

100% Awesome

[@Getorix]

This song is fuckin badass. And to UnexpectedVisitor, don't insult them like that.

[@newwavepigtails]

I'm the one screaming...oh, those were the days...

[@DarthMink]

all you have to do is click "options" beside the comment counter and select "show all" but like jsik69x said, it's not really worth the time.

[@SerpenteNoire]

Fucking kick-ass drummer.

[@jkbezo]

Meant to say Clinton Days. Hell, Im drunk . I still drink. lol. : D

[@skiesburngrey]

read the mad season lyrics also read most of the alice in chains self titled (tripod) and jar of flies then say Staleys lyrics werent that great. Cantrell wrote amazing but you can feel something when you read Staleys that you cant find in anyone else's lyrics

[@JakeTheMDog]

@bobsirebob Yea, l have the same thing. The camera's from back then are much more cooler than the HD, 3d stuff i dunno, they've got now.

[@YourMusicShow]

Local H, highly underrated....but I wouldnt have it any other way. Cuz it's just for us....ya know?

[@Person009]

Im quoting that.

[@zarelh0]

MUITO FODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@jtboll00]

ham fisted.. awesome cd

[@jsik69x]

yeah well you can say the same thing about the pixies and alot of other punk bands, but nirvana was the one who brought the sound above ground. Not taking anything away from mudhoney, but facts is after nevermind took off, the radios stopped playin that shit like winger. Which opened the airwaves for bands like soundgarden, aic, and pearl jam. If you're really trying to get technical, there wouldnt be any of this shit without the beatles.

[@xristo702]

Now you know where your 6th thumbs up comes from.

[@SupperIan7575]

local h rocks

[@ourstardestiny4960]

Dude you should collaborate with Lorde and see how it turns out... if you wanted to

[@rajan1999]

original rock at its best for the 30 something

[@VinceLA91]

A two piece bathing suit from Chicago

[@roywhiteo5]

wait youtube was around in 2005?

[@cameronplant6784]

This was the first ever video on youtube

[@xristo702]

Good assed band...what the hell happened to them?? =(

[@donwantstobesedated]

@I69Sk8er69I That was the point I was making. People need to stop bitching about originality for the most part. And Tool took a lot from bands like the Melvins, and personally i prefer The Melvins.

[@HollyDawnShovick]

OH EM GEE!

[@christophertrainor637]

I fucking hate how I can't see the original comment! I really want to see why 7 people gave the comment a thumbs down and prompted jsik69x to comment as he did. FML

[@Stigmakind]

dude ur right bout the alice in chains statement but i doubt this guy wrote better lyrics then kurt thats just my silly opinion :p

[@Stigmakind]

it's not the meaning of the myrics i mean, it's like when i hear him i jut wanna hit someone in the face or something, you know it gets my adrenaline pumping,and alice in chains have some great lyrics ofc would and down in a hole are fantastic and the unplugged songs

[@polomartinez1]

aqui les viene otro mexicano.........yo...reals

[@Monoslay]

@SweetDreamNextNight I tought the same thing.... Not bad imo

[@donwantstobesedated]

@TheChrisnew Why choose?

[@Amir3793]

But Nirvana was great same goes for Local H

[@raptardriver1185]

Zion is not Chicago, anyhow great band!

[@revolvingroses]

The guy looks like Cobain, moves like Cobain, sounds like Cobain...decent song though.

[@raho2005]

To lame that the good music died.... F**k the Mainstream!

[@ivanlezte]

ok

[@JackoReaper]

rock on local h .if anyone hates this band u can go to hell.

[@majorxtrouble3]

Local H and Nirvana are two completely different bands. Just enjoy the fucking music like everyone else.

[@cubbies6]

I know

[@WarmothGuitarist]

I love Nirvana as much as the next guy. I miss the Seattle scene as much as the rest of my GenXers. But labeling a band a ripoff artist, when the band that they are supposedly ripping off is also a ripoff artist...it's ridiculous. All bands borrow their sound from someone, then evolve it. Just as King Crimson came long before Tool....MC5 came long before Nirvana. Noone is truly original anymore, for it has pretty much been done before. So, quit treating Cobain as if he invented "grunge".
