Redd Kross - "Jimmy's Fantasy" courtesy of Rocky Schenck

[@HuggyBear2000]

Watching this again 30 years later. Amazing how our brains never forget these songs.

[@DEVOn.A.Skertic]

Dude! WTF?!. The last few days , I have been playing Redd Kross songs like MAD! And remembering all the times of crossing paths with them at shows. And , Jason Lee!

[@mikeramsey6175]

Totally. Rock on!!!

[@jgreigh150]

LOL nearly 30 yrs later and I JUST notice that `jimmy` is Jason Lee!!

[@reginarichards7001]

This is the first time seeing this video..... and I'm reminded of why I have always thought of why Redd Kross is so awesome, unique and so special...

[@jaymythxxxx]

I know early 90s rock was all about grunge (not knocking grunge - I liked it), but the power pop around at the time (Redd Kross, Jellyfish, The Posies etc) was just SO much better. Just needed a bit of exposure...

[@pm7017]

totally agree!!

[@JohnGetze]

Don't forget Urge Overkill and Teenage Fanclub as well!

[@quintmylodonrecorders8387]

James Bradshaw you aren't wrong

[@tash5540]

It's really just alternative rock. Alt rock was small at the time of grunge, but rose in stature after grunge died. Jane's adiction was a good Alt band in the early 90s. Redd kross probably didn't take off because of their name; just my opinion.

[@philmole1209]

At the same time, some power pop of that era, especially the Posies and Teenage Fanclub, were clearly drawing from grunge and underground guitar rock like Sonic Youth, so the categories weren't mutually exclusive. Teenage Fanclub's earliest work is basically Sonic Youth with more pop hooks.

[@jimmiemclovin]

Forgot how awesome this song was...and still is!

First band I ever saw live. They opened for Stone Temple Pilots at the Plaza of Nations Vancouver in 1994.

[@aallbbeerrttggaarrcc]

My lord. Two of my fav bands ever live in 1994. Envy you so fuckin' much.

[@jimnielsen8030]

saw that show as well! remember the stage went dark before STP went on and a living room set/decor was lowered onto the stage and when the lights came on, scott weiland and co. were all lounging on the chairs and sofa? didn't afghan wigs or the meat puppets also open, or was i thinking about the rage/86th street music hall show/ wait, no, that was the presidents of the USA- also an epic show! RK had such a great stage presence...

[@3cs3hs]

Cool, i moved to Vancouver in 2000 so i missed a lot of good shows. Saw the Pixies at plaza though. eventually

[@lyndoncmp5751]

Saw the same bill in London autumn 1994. The Pilots were delayed for ages and weren't great. Redd Kross blew them away in my opinion.

[@KRDZoom1]

I was there too! I was only 13 years old! I think the Meat Puppets played too! What a line up! You can definitely hear how Scott Weiland must have loved these guys because his voice timbre sounds very similar on Tiny Music.

[@mikeramsey6175]

Redd Kross was really cool in the 80's and 90's. Only really hip people knew about them.

[@mikeramsey6175]

Where did they find the woman who agreed to be the undesirable? I have to give her alot of credit.

[@jenniferh4572]

Oh why thank you for the compliment 😉

[@myauralfixation]

Such an awesome band. Just caught Steve playing bass in Melvins and he’s still got it. 🔥

[@conedust]

Who doesn't play bass in the Melvins tho?

Lol

So much nostalgia... makes me want to cry. This is soooo good!

[@Ramblebar]

I love The Red Kross E.P and Born Innocent but Redd Kross were just one of those bands that got better and more pleasurably melodic as they got older,Absolutely Classic!!!

[@tash5540]

Linda Blair was a damn good punk song though. They turn to a more alternative style as times changed.

[@pimpbizkit_6911]

@@tash5540 they turned to a 70’s pop band

[@redacted2275]

@@pimpbizkit_6911 Yeah. A mix of glam, power pop and punk. Big Star mixed with T. Rex, almost IMO

Back then he was known as Jason Lee pro skater..

This is a total heads up to anyone who wants to make real music. Redd Kross are the total real deal.

Takes me back... Used to hear this on the radio back when the whole grunge thing was picking up and I was starting to explore its outer fringes. Good to hear it again, and at a decent quality too.

[@skulldrix]

So much hair, and power strumming!

[@myfriendisaac]

What a video 🔥🎬💜

[@michaelpsihogios9830]

I had to search for this video after it popped into my head. I recorded it off M2 back in the 90s and used to watch it all the time with a bunch of other videos. This still rocks!

[@Jaimsied]

I love Redd Kross so much!!!

[@omgleah]

I had a promotional video full of upcoming bands procured from a garage sale in the 90's, and this song was like a freight train. Amazing! Band members are cuties too. Should've gotten so much more attention and press.

[@twikirobot6897]

One of the greatest albums....ever.

[@MartinFletcherPsyD]

It's finally back on Apple Music if anyone has been waiting.

Now we're 40's and still loving it

[@C2thaaT]

This Rocks. Period.

[@cmdolan99]

My favorite RK song of all .. back when videos helped backwater doofuses -- like me in '93 -- discover bands they'd never see otherwise. Redd Kross rules -- and I hope to see you guys in/around Philly soon.

[@paullampathakis2439]

Ok when I hear this I think it's my favourite Redd Kross song, but then I hit any number of their tracks of the nearly 30 year career, including their latest album which is shit hot, and I don't know -- it's like choosing between Italy and France for the best food. But Eddie was just a top guitarist, oh lordy when I hear that lead break...

How can you not love this from the very first listen? The goofy cross-eyed face after "Doty Crips or Bloods or Zeppelin" is unexpectedly revealing for there is truth in jest or something.

[@MarsHottentot]

Watching Redd Kross "go grunge" was pretty weird, seeing as they were an influence on most of those bands. But then they did it in such a funny way - this track is straight Nirvana (soft / LOUD, that fuckin' solo), the song "Huge Wonder" is power pop built out of the cresendo to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" - brilliant, too brilliant, apparently.

[@tkool74]

Would disagree a bit here. I think this is way more of them - "bringing KISS and The Pixies into their whole Beatles/CheapTrick/Zeppelin" thing, than "Going Grunge". But I do see your point. In any case, this fucking rules.

[@timgivhan4635]

Eddie Kurdziel was the lead guitarist on Phase shifter, and Show World and a few other recordings. I do know that his favorite bands are some that you both mentioned. Eddie's ear heard everything, he could play anything! Best damn guitarist I knew, and he was my best friend.

Whenever i listen to phaseshifter, i skip 1&2 and start at Monilith. Ive always thought the singles are the least marketable songs on the album. Im not quite sure why or how these songs were chosen. Its an ok song it's just not quite as good as the rest. If i ran the label, id start with maybe dumb angel or only a girl, then have a huge obnoxious overplayed hit with monolith then do ms lady evans
