RIP Van Conner (18-Jan-'23) Bassist and significant contributer to the songwriting of the magnificent Screaming Trees.

RIP Mark Lanegan. Thank you very much for your voice and contribution to rock music. Very honored to still hear your music.

Man, it's like he's singing it directly to whomever he wrote this song about. So much passion.

His passing today is so fuck'n sad. He was the best. Saw him in a very tiny unkown venue in Sao paulo brazil. This guy is a legend. Thanks God his art will live forever...RIP

I remember that programme. That was a great era of US rock music and Screaming Trees were one of the best bands to come from it.

[@Chris-fd9sg]

I know this band and Mark Lanegan will ever get the respect they deserve. However, I can take solace in the fact that there are thousands of people that still love them.

[@moleman1976]

One of my favorite songs of all time. I saw Screaming Trees three times in the early 90s and they always put on a great show. This song deserved so much more exposure - it's a shame. Thanks for posting a great live version.

1:13 What a voice!

[@Lemonhead86]

With a voice that awesome live.. and especially good on the albums, I gotta ask why they weren't more popular. They damn well deserved it. Wicked band.

@@Bruin_ffs They were just super dysfunctional. No one seemed to like their early direction, on stage fighting with each other, the rest of the band having enough of marks drug antics and Mark not having any musical input until this record.

As someone who has made many incredibly poor relationship decisions this song hits home. At least the person in the song realizes the mistakes they have made and is trying to think of others first. I’m trying to do the same.

I saw them as the opening for triple bill: ST, Soul Asylum, and Spin Doctors. Probably 92'. Mesmerizing, clearly the best and most haunting out of the three.

The best band from Seattle grundge, hell I think they were the pioneer. Not much airplay, not taking anything from A.I.C. but I seen these guys open for them in 93 and I think they blew em away, but the show was great. There guitar player kicked a girl in the head, unreal perfomance.

[@johnybaltimore3687]

indeed. the trees transcended the faux-genre grunge. they were a huge influence on kurt and nirvana, and many other 'alternative' bands. they started out in 85 putting out killer garage-psych-punk records on black flag's label sst. 5 records later they made their major label debut... their live and recorded legacy places them among the best bands America has ever produced, let alone "grunge"

[@Marianocaracol]

No te los pierdas que son una bomba... Yo los vi en Paris y son tremendos. No sólo Mark, que es una estaca insensible pero con un vozarrón conmovedor, si no toda la banda. Desde el batero pasando por el violero, que es un grosso, y terminando en Greg Dulli que es el verdadero líder, porque es inevitable, su presencia es atrapante. Dollar Bill esuna de mis canciones preferidas de Screaming Trees, pero esta versión no es de las mejores...

[@TheKennyjoe]

@ultramegaunknown Yes sir, Mark Lanagan and both the bros who play guitar were rockin' Seattle before the so called "Grunge Scene"started. Remember "The RCKCNDY"that is pretty much the time the Grunge scene started. We called that area the Herpes Triangle.(Just a Joke)Because all the clubbers would go from club to club and take the party somewhere else. Check out his solo album "Whiskey and the Holy Ghost" and make sure you have a bottle of your favorite Whiskey on hand!!

[@arfer]

"No Nirvana" was a big deal in the UK at the time for types like me.

[@stve1908]

I believe it to be happening very soon in the sense that "things are calmest before the storm...."

[@herrdirektor4607]

grunge was that a mix of zeppelin Sabbath punk metal it was all that was good mixed up, sand to me it was the last boom before rock and roll died, because in 2000 it was already dead a new era came of terrorism bullshit and new world order this is like looking into a window into the past and the ones who lived it lived it and the ones who didn't didn't, maybe there will be better days after the storm

@jczother Yeah Steve Winwood is an amazing singer/songwrite/guitar player. He is such an under-rated guitar player. He can really rip. Cant Find My Way Home is one of my favorite songs not to mention his work with Traffic. I admire him alot for not wanting to own all the spotlight (as he could have done being that he does everything) and surrounding himself with other great musicians Like Clapton and Dave Mason. He obviously just wanted to make great songs

[@wickster2121]

Wow he was great here! I'm so disappointed...I found out about the greatness of Screaming Trees 1 week after Lanegan died :(

[@rheffic1971]

RIP Mark Lanegan 1964-2022

[@mystro810]

@jczother what are you crazy?! Joe Cocker has an amazing voice. They both have growling, gravely types of voices, thats what I meant. Joe Cocker is a legend man. He sings with so much soul. People thought he was black when he first got started because he is so bluesy. Mark is bluesy too. Mark has a great voice but Joe is one of the best of all time

[@amyamestoy3469]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I didn't became a fan of Mark Lanegan until he sang in Mad Season. For me, the Screaming Trees songs only had beautiful vocals and drums tempos . . . besides that the guitars and bass just seems like white noise to me and didn't flow well.

@mystro810 Opinions, I thought that was the whole invasion thing to sound like an old blues singer... I did hear they thought Steve Winwood WAS at 14 with Spencer Davis. Now see he's my all time favorite musician, singer and a real good song writer. Hell most stuff he plays all the instruments. I wish him and Hendrix could have done more.
