[@dylanalm6906]

If i was lost in the desert with a walkman with umlimited batteries and could only listen to one band forever it would be the meat puppets. Happiness rules.

I sent them message on My Space back in the day, and they got back to me. So cool. I just told them that if I was stranded on a desert island with 1 cd...I'd want " Too High to Die". They said thanks...lol

The voices of the Kirkwood brothers produce a unique and beautiful sound.

So much groove and taste Hope they tour 2024

[@Soundwrecker]

I saw the MPs at CBGB in 1989 or so and it was amazing and sooooo hot. They came out for a second set and Chris through jugs of water on the crowd. Me and my friends were pressed against the stage, shirtless due to heat and just sweating and dancing. This is one my favorite shows ever. I think Curt was interviewed by Spin mag outside after the show and mentioned how hot it was and how that just took the whole show up to a height that brought him close to passing out.

[@johnipennie2021]

These guys just get better and better! I especially love how they seem' to be not aware of how great they are. It makes me love them more! Wow!

[@AlisonWild]

Best band ever. Current incarnation. Rat farm, is, in fact, sooo good.

[@AlisonWild]

Go go go, Elmo.

[@dackmont]

Truth! Every decade, they've been putting out top-notch stuff. Treasure this band.

Shandon sahm told me on Instagram, that he left the band because of him. Elmo fits in the band imo. He plays good solos.

[@elmokirkwood3969]

@@void0094 I’m an awful person, it’s true

[@elmokirkwood3969]

@@void0094 it didn’t strike you as odd that someone freshly out of band would start a bunch of social media accounts, add only fans of that band, and then hit them up out of the blue to talk shit about a member of that band while incapable of backing up all the egregious claims he’s made? Does that sound like something a “great dude” would do? Just something to consider. Now, imagine being the person who the hate campaign is aimed at and having dozens of people you don’t know contact you with the exact same story about this dude dragging your name through the mud. If holding my tongue and not acting like a total creep makes me weird then I’ll take it. I’m not the one who got fired. Not quit, fired, and allowed graciously by the band to tell people he quit so his ego wasn’t too publicly compromised. Ok, sorry for the shit talk.. not my style but I felt like responding in turn for once.

Probably the best rock guitar tone I have ever heard (after Johnny Marr of course) Distorted but totally clear. At the end when he is doing the solo it sounds just like the Clapton woman tone.

Does anybody know how kirk got that tone around 12:22 during touchdown king? I don't mean the overall tone of the guitar throughout the song I just mean that kind of harmonic sounding tone I can't really describe it but I would love to figure out how to do it. I hear trey from phish do a similar thing I don't know how it is achieved. Thanks!

damn, I first saw these guys in 86, when they were thin and cute. glad Cris is still alive, against all odds, tho.

[@augustusbetucius1572]

Same here. Or it may have been 85. It was right after Up On The Sun was released. They were so crazy and manic then. Haven't seen them since Forbidden Places. Nothing against Curt's son, or the other guitarist they had in the 90's, but I can't get used to them as a four piece.

[@realmusiklover]

Caught them in Glasgow when they played with Mudhoney last year. Awesome band.

Hi Jii

[@bubbatrismegistus5038]

OK, "cliche time" : Most Underrated band of all time. (I know, I know, EVERYONE says that about their favorite band, get over it) It's true, though. I never saw the Meat Puppets "Proper", that is, the original 3 piece line up, but I've seen Curt 3 times - twice while Cris was "absent" with another band lineup and one time Curt played solo, sitting on a stool, being fucking awesome all by himself. I believe he opened for Sonic Youth. All 3 performances took place in Dallas. I'd have loved to see the original lineup live but I'll take what I can get. God bless 'em. I take comfort in the fact they're too high to die.

[@pike666db]

I came here with low expectations because I had seen video of other live performances through the years. Once again... disappointment. I can relate to your opinion being unpopular even with yourself. Backwater is one of my all-time favorite songs (at least the album version and music video), as my playing it very enthusiastically at a gig 25 years ago contributed to me getting lucky that night. A trick I thought I would likely never be able to repeat, but pulled off again 4 years later. So, very fond memories thanks to that song. Sadly, no amount of sound engineering would save these gentlemen from sounding on par with most high-school cover bands.
