Quasi & Elliott Smith "Paint It Black" cover (7-17-99)

The "loveishell7" account was deleted, so here again is Elliott Smith backing Quasi covering "Paint It Black" (rolling stones)

[@boycewebb7445]

Elliott is rockin that bass.

[@Playcircus]

Only one of the greatest (if not THE greatest) songwriters to ever live.

[@rachelevil]

There is no "too loud" with Janet Weiss.

[@JamieGarry]

Bonham levels

[@DecodeIndie15]

I can die happy after watching this....

[@Harkinless]

JANET FUCKING WEISS ON THE DRUMS

[@19tet]

who did what to who on the kit ?! 💀

[@aiwannadestroyyou]

goddamn this was such a great tour.

[@Gammarklar]

some of Heatmiser's songs were badass. even the grungy first record... lowlife, still, bottle rocket, and the heaviest song elliott prolly ever did: stray.

[@copsarebastards]

Stray is a real gem even if the music is pretty standard 90s fare, I like heatmiser but see no reason to listen to them over Texas is the reason, for example, besides elliott.

[@lucassmith4524]

I bet All three of em had been playing that song since puberty.

[@rb919]

Gahhhdernggg. Janet rips !!! OH HOW I LOVES THIS *~*

[@MrFuzzySimpleton]

Miss Janet most definitely tears those drums up.

[@nevynnowhere6322]

I was at this show. It was great.

[@bodegabodega-ux7ll]

Was this at Spaceland in Silver Lake ?

[@cyprus197408]

This is excellent!

[@TheVinylScore]

What a cover 😮😮😮

[@Silentsin23]

Wow this is really good

[@plexusnexus]

love you elliott xo

[@plexusnexus]

elliott on bass ftw.

[@nestorac]

XJToshicult : try to pause the video at 1:50. You'll clearly notice four tuning pegs, or tuning pins, at the end of the guitar's arm, showing its a bass guitar.

[@レモモフォン]

good good and good

[@technicolorgirl23]

Janet kicks some serious ass

[@19tet]

this video was only 7 years old when it was uploaded

[@maddymud]

[@shelley9000]

Fucking great!

[@desertgirl913]

fuck yes...+1

[@ultraviolentromantic]

[@mooninites755]

haha look at the crowd, attempting to have a mash pit

[@DontBAFartHead]

I wish. It's amazing isn't it?

[@WOODWOUNDS]

Killer Drummer

[@spasticteapot]

Some of us are running DT880s from a proper soundcard, thanks. I think they do a good job. Very professional - not the sloppy mess you usually see on KZbin.

[@Theonewhoclimbs28]

Who's she playing with these days? Still Bright Eyes?

[@thekidwiththerope]

@palendromebob That's Janet Weiss.

[@chabeworks]

now this is a good cover--not that satanic crap played by other covers

[@pangenium]

drummer actually is a girl

[@plexusnexus]

fukin great drumming

[@basslinger]

Who is Elliott Smith?

[@user-in2hf8pu5m]

center

[@copsarebastards]

The best singer songwriter of the last like two decades

[@palendromebob]

@990BlackOrb990 Joanna Holme (quasi/steven malkmus) by the looks of it.

[@killedbykato]

Any band would benefit from janet weiss

[@isolationeitheror]

mash pit? drummere decides to K A

[@arielgreen]

paint it black is pretty terrible song buttt elliott smith and the two that make quasi are all some of the most amazing musician/songwriters ever

[@marceline4610]

there is no way you think the most popular song by the rolling stones is terrible but think elliott smith is one of the most amazing songwriters and musicians of all time. listen to led zeppelin, the beatles, bob dylan, or pink floyd and then talk to me about great songwriting and music.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Hah, saying “Paint it Black” is a “terrible song” and then saying Elliott Smith is the most “amazing” musician is like an oxymoron.

[@randomtravelvideos]

lol mash pit

[@DontBAFartHead]

My God are you serious? She is soooo much better than Meg White.

[@novadrian]

Excellent cover. But then this is Elliot Smith and his band so you'd expect it to be good.

[@commanderkeen08]

This is terrible. This is something I expect from a 7th grade Battle of the Bands competition. . . only less gay.

[@strangeclimate411]

id like to hear you play if you're so good LMAO

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Funniest comment because there's an element of truth in there, haha.
