Mike Watt - The Red and the Black [4-28-95]

[@Cynicallia]

Huge BÖC fan here. Someone recommended checking out this version of "The Red and The Black", and I have got to say, this is fantastic. I love the energy of these guys.

[@Cynicallia]

@Mr.Joetatoehead Thanks homie! That wasn't half bad.

[@evilsimeon]

One of the best covers I know of. Better then the oringinal BOC, especially the minutemen version.

[@OhanaFilms]

Mike Watt is the coolest bass player ever. Fucking legend!

[@invisibledooley]

I'd been listening to Minutemen or fIREHOSE versions of this song for decades before ever hearing the BOC original.

[@buddhistpriest1357]

Mike Watt, D. Boone, & George Hurley changed our lives…..

[@musiclova6095]

seeing Dave on guitar post-Nirvana and pre-Foo Fighters is pretty awesome.

[@MrDaveo98]

I've worked for Mike Watt. And I can tell you, he IS a very cool guy.

[@leinonibishop9480]

@Jon White hovercraft wasn't eddie's side project, he just sat in on drums for them

[@alexeugenio3849]

When I first saw this I was 14 rocked my whole world!saw watt and foo fighters in 94 at lupus heart break hotel providence best time of my life!

[@afreezaphorogiancossack2194]

To me this really was the spirit of the Minutemen. Love that Mike has carried on with their odd little fondness for BOC. Me too.

[@SmashyPlays]

That's so cool Dave played drums and guitar for Mike watt live

[@JDela-le2kp]

Is just me? Because i love William Goldsmiths drumming

[@susragejr477]

Nah will’s a good drummer he just didn’t really click with foo fighters

[@matej1769]

Eddie in but not singing, Dave in but not drumming. This means the singer and the drummer must be REALLY cool!

[@oldmanthayer]

Love the energy!

[@richpeltier9519]

Dave goes completely Buck Darma on this. It's a shame the whole thing didn't air! 🤘🧙‍♂️🤘

[@henkejohansen4563]

Love this 'messy' punk version ... Original recorded 1973 (?) ... Hardcore/speed metal invented by the great BÖC

[@emersongalvao2898]

W. Goldsmith on drums, such a punch!

[@jasonsenator6144]

Love when you ride the KZbin algorithm ❤

[@timberguck5222]

Eddie is just happy to be there

[@thomasfleeson7427]

[@whatsforafters7843]

Thanks for reminding me about this oversight. Made the same mistake when I posted on my earlier channel. Cheers!

[@101Volts]

Mike Watt used to play this in the Minutemen, when they were a thing. ... I miss D. Boon, and I wasn't even born until after he died.

[@justineaves1977]

@@101Volts he was down with the Oyster

[@jcw91371]

Eddie's so transfixed by Mike that he can't move. Propah.

[@hkdabro]

I think he’s looking at Dave

[@whoisalexdagr8]

Is that former Foo Fighters drummer William Goldsmith playing drums in this performance?

[@j2martnz348]

Yes... This was at the time Foo Fighters and Hovercraft ( Vedder's side band w/his wife ) were the opening acts on the Mike Watt tour. The Foo Fighters revolved around drums, guitar for Mike Watt's set . Some songs Dave was on drums, Pat on guitar ..and so on . This was before Foo's album was out . I saw the tour in Rhode Island ..paid $8 for tickets. One of best shows I've ever been to still

[@CullyBenson]

More importantly William was in Sunny Day Real estate

[@ChrisLawton66]

That was a brutal conclusion. Very disappointing.

[@mickeysanker1547]

[@Thisisspacemusic]

[@miguegallicchio]

[@alexandervelasquez5749]

William Goldsmith. Sunny Day Real Estate and Foo Fighters original drummer. He's great.

[@susragejr477]

Dave and Will’s chemistry was so good when they were playing in Mike’s band sucks that didn’t repeat for the colour and the shape lol
