Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend ll

[@chrissimpson6701]

Prayers for Matthew who suffered a stroke this month. I remember this guy well, I also had the CD 100% fun.

[@richalderson6069]

This is about as fast and aggressive a version of Girlfriend I've seen Matthew play. Rocks!!

[@TurnerSparks]

Best version ever. I've been looking for this for years thanks for putting it back up.

[@kennymarks9572]

Stage Manager - "Hey guys, we've got 3 mins till ending credits!!" Matthew Sweet - "You heard him guys!!"

[@sharknut]

One of the 5 best Late Night live performances I've seen by anyone.

[@PaulaG43]

Watching this in 2024 and hoping Matthew’s music helps him in his recovery from a stroke. ❤

[@redavis460]

Until I heard this version, I didn't think this song could be improved upon. . .but humbuckers on the lead guitar really sent it into orbit. Awesome!

[@stevenstompkins6987]

Holy shit. How did I miss this version. I bought this album in 91 and still play the hell out of it. Powerpop masterpiece. This. This is Girlfriend on some really fuckin good speed. Dig it!!

[@redwagon5]

Yeah man, me too - play the hell out of this record. So good. And this rendering is mayhem.

[@tamoore77]

How'd i miss this one! Thanks for posting

[@bradleyjjohnson]

This is awesome. 😉

[@Rick-tf4dl]

yeah that II means twice as fast 🤘

[@mandyk4988]

I love this song ❤

[@rosselliot8971]

Jesus Christ, this is as heavy as Girlfriend gets. It almost goes off the rails, which is always a good sign.

[@worldoneprofessorjamesperr2417]

The main reason why Matthew Sweet is completely rock and roll! 🎩🕯🕰🖤

[@robertbailey1175]

Robert Quin's guitar work on this song is great!

[@thatsalie]

Pete Phillips is the guitarist on this performance.

[@robertbailey1175]

@@thatsalie was talking about the work on the album.

[@matthewalsante8949]

Wow!

[@michaelanderson2881]

Girlfriend: Amphetamine Mix.

[@revolutionday1]

When I sing this song, I sing it slowed-down of course, and with a lotta' twang on it like Dwight Yoakam.

[@authenticvegas]

“Here’s comes the rock and roll freight train so you better get the f*ck out of the way!”

[@1962jet]

wow! faster and harder than any matthew sweet i have heard. a total smoker. will someone please tell: who is lead guitarist?

[@1962jet]

@@kirbysvideochannel8297 thank U for that information!

[@pupation]

@@kirbysvideochannel8297 so what I’m getting from this is that no one should play lead guitar on “Girlfriend.”

[@AudioFileZ]

This one peels paint! OHY!

[@dunmorul]

Someone didn't like the color of the M&Ms in the green room...

[@timmytVA]

Matthew to lead guitarist: just wail as hard as you can in key of C#.

[@danstar455]

What year is this from?

[@kearndogger]

Most likely sometime 2001-2003… www.listal.com/tv/late-late-show-craig-kilborn/cast

[@SurferDoodsSC]

Is the rhythm section the guys from the Plugz..?

[@kearndogger]

The bass player is indeed Tony Marsico from The Plugz / Cruzados. Drummer is Ric Menck from Velvet Crush, which Pete Phillips was also in for a time.

[@SurferDoodsSC]

@@kearndogger Ah, right on..thanks!

[@erniebornheimer]

[@SurferDoodsSC]
