Screaming Trees - Halo of Ashes 11/30/96

Screaming trees with Josh Homme playing halo of ashes on Later...

[@pilsenschop]

Barrett Martin is a fucking amazing drummer

[@Ballterra]

Hope your still around 👍 😁 12 years later and having just discovered SC I have to agree I’m binge watching everything they have and he is just awesome…

[@Ken-hc7hi]

Today, 2/22/2022 Mark Lanegan died. Hearing his howl with the Screaming Trees made me want to drive fast and forget, and hearing his solo gravel croon made me want to drink slow and reflect. A powerful voice.

[@StacyLindsey-ps5qq]

I agree such an under-rated band. The more you listen the better it is and I love his solo stuff to.

[@joekiddyshaw5757]

Couldn't have put it any better bro . . . RIP Mark 🙏💙

[@paulsamuel8742]

Mark f***ing Lanegan!!! 🤘🏼

[@monkeyliver1986]

one of the most underrated bands ever

[@Bruin_ffs]

I keep looking shit like this up while reading the book and keep being genuinely blown away by his performance despite being on the verge of death. Being able to channel unenviable pain like that is an enviable skill

[@matthewratcliffe6812]

I thought exactly the same he looks dreadful yet what a performance I recommend Lanegan by Greg Prato great read

[@joshuatrees797]

@@matthewratcliffe6812 Thank you for the recommendation.

You know those leather pants still have puke and shit stains on them from his trip to London only a few days prior.

My buddy Doug was the music reviewer for the local newspaper where we worked. He saw these guys in 1993, and I'll never forget his review. It went something like this: Keith Richard once said when told that the Rolling Stones were the greatest band in the world, "On any given night, ANY band can be the greatest band int he world." Last night, Screaming Trees were the greatest band in the world.

[@bleachershane]

I haven't seen this since 1996. Fuck me, Mark looked desperately unwell, I'm amazing he still put in such an exceptional performance, as did the rest of the band. Screaming Trees were criminally underrated.

[@emilvar]

@Ernest T you must be joking,right?😁

[@joekiddyshaw5757]

Having read, "Sing Backwards And Weep", you're correct Mark was desperately unwell with dopesickness at this point . . .

[@jaundong3692]

Read marks memoir “sing backwards and weep”. It really shows you what kind of state he was in during this show

[@yawnymoon3116]

This European tour was the worst in the book.

[@duaneallen8776]

Yeah it’s wild reading that book, I’m YouTubing the performances to see, he looks better here than I thought he would. The 12 hours proceeding this show are BRUTAL.

[@travismitchell2888]

Just finished it.His mind was on getting to King's Cross ! Check out the Audiobook It sounds so much sinister when you here him say It....

[@kenairockband]

I just finished book and would love to hear the Connors brothers version of events on a lot of that stuff

[@jinxkj]

Just finished that book. How the hell he's still alive beats me. I thought Slashes book took you to the the edge with his drug experiences but Marks is much darker. Sad it only covers his time in the band up to him being 32. Would've liked it to have brought us up to the present day.

[@jmseverino76]

"With one foot in the grave." Mark looks half dead in this. So glad he is still around making great music. Phantom Radio is a killer album. The trees rocked and his solo work continues to push boundaries. Mark deserves much more acclaim than he has received during his long career.

[@yopglomusic8872]

John Severino Agreed. I don't think he wants it, though. I think he's happy doing small shows and likes where he's at fame-wise.

[@emilvar]

@@yopglomusic8872 yes,he likes it how it is,he is very well recognized and don't looking for a stardom.I think that Screaming Trees were more underrated in their time and that was very frustrating for such great band.Three last albums on major label but I doubt there was any money for them, they are lucky if they were not left in debt.Major labels are evil if you are not goose with golden eggs

[@dawidklucz849]

Last lone howling wolf alive,how many good brave friends he bury already ; Kurt,Layne,Alain,Mike Starr ,Mia Zapata and unlikely many more hes still on keep of rock music.Screaming Trees total legends i miss them emotionally

[@curly_wyn]

He’s now in the grave. R.I.P.!!!

[@joshuayettou9032]

@@curly_wyn Yep. And he died on a strange date 02/02/22. Four 2's.. Must mean something I think!

[@fletcherbowman5456]

What power, what finesse, what a band... what a voice.

[@Grungedude93]

its so sad how most ppl ignored the awesomeness of screaming trees

[@bitchoflivingblah]

I spent 3 month solid listening to Dust whilst writing up my PhD. This album has some serious emotional resonance for me. Great, great album, that moves track by track through your capillaries until it all part of you.

[@mCblue79]

I love that album too. Even now I frequently chuck it on in the car. Nobody makes music like that anymore, (sniff sniff). :(

[@222Lightning]

thanks for the comment. maybe I'll see if I can order that on Amazon so I can listen to it loud as I have lots of time on my hands since I told my boss's little demon spvr. what I really think of him! I was big on their first 3 releases but don't know this one. Think I checked it out at the library once and just thought it was bland but might like it now. Screaming Trees is definitely a band to listen to when your doing something else that so you can be introverted and access that meditative state where spontaneous happens and you get work done without having to suffer at doing something you initially don't want to get done....like cleaning up the apartment or writing a paper towards your degree!

[@macadoo2530]

Oblivion & Dust are what Zeppelin was in the 70s for us from the 90s

[@thedoors669]

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

[@sarpin76]

It's so weird to see Josh looking so clean cut, polo shirt and all.

[@michaelwatson2313]

I remember watching this when it was on. Great performance, amazing drummer and Josh Homme. RIP Mark.

[@gimmetehroids]

dude barrett martin is fucking awesome.

[@tonesleuth69]

R.I.P. Mark.... A Godly voice.

[@jondubb35]

Funny to see Josh Homme playing rhythm guitar not in one of his own bands. Always forget he was a touring musician with them towards the end of the Trees existence.

[@deborahhinton1475]

I don’t know the guy but he must be so down to earth I reckon.

[@nevkaye]

Wow Mark sounds exactly the same live as on the studio versions. I was privelaged to see him a couple of years ago touring for the "Bubblegum" album and they did Gospel Plow - it was astonishing!

[@kennethpetroni7911]

RIP Mark 🎸🙏

[@BoxTunnel]

Gary Lee Connor playing an electric sitar! Bollocks to Josh Homme.

[@vincenotes4765]

This is one of the best Jools Holland performances ever

[@stevefoster7529]

And we will never get the reunion now

[@tracevicente]

And he was so so so sick here

[@kiWi-zv8vr]

​@@tracevicenteand still managed to give a great performance

[@bloodnchocolate]

A perfect song. Just perfect, every note, rythm, yell. Everything.

Rest in Peace dear friends Van Conner and Mark Lanegan. You rock!!!

[@testtubeaccident7805]

Rest in peace Mark ❤️

[@TheIrishkevin04]

Barret Martin is a underrated drummer! He's just as good as Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich! He's the best drummer from the grunge era of music!

[@DailyMotionBetter]

Buddy who?

[@howtodocertainthings8452]

Jimmy Chamberlain says ‘Er....okay then...’

[@startervisions]

Dave Grohl

[@LetoMaia]

I thing Dan Peters is as good as Barrett Martin..

[@nicolasriveros943]

Don't know if the best from the Grunge era (which I think is a spot for Matt Cameron) but definitely up there!

[@zer0953]

when you compare mark here and year before with mad season....

[@zer0953]

rest easy mark, Dust is one of my fav albums along with Scraps At Midnight

[@LemonLadyRecords]

Trees are pretty much the BEST of their genre, IMO. But so totally underground and underrated (kinda cool but they deserve more and so does the public). Maybe they didn't pay enough payola to get heard more widely.

[@rowdyblakley8669]

I was there in the studio that night, what a treat. I had only recently bought Uncle Anesthesia and was amazed to see the band on the show.

[@eoinbyrne9538]

Terrible, horrible news. RIP Mark. Thank you so much

[@presswire]

i saw them in the same month playing in the reading alleycat... i was just a kid, but i was a bit worried about Mark who didn't lift his head up once during the whole set... and i had no idea what heroin addiction or getting dopesick was about. just reading his book now, and you can see laid bare the absolute nightmare he was going though, i'm glad he's still around today, against the odds

[@davidleewrath6919]

Don't forget the crack.

[@declineofthewest.]

Amazing book

[@pedromartinho6889]

Rest in peace ....Great Lanegan😪

[@catatonicsuns]

Came here from reading marks book. Wow he went through hell around this time

[@tiemyshoes92]

personally i think screaming trees shouldve been way more well known back then and now. hell they are ten times better than pearl jam and many other bands around the 90s. Mark Lanegan is a genius if you believe it or not...

[@macadoo2530]

Pearl jam has become the lamest band in existence.

[@grajmahal]

What a great piece of footage. Lanegan definitely looked unwell, and Homme was looking like a high school jock completely out of place on stage. Very strange how he came to be a part of that band at the end of the line. The funny thing is I was a huge Trees fan at the time, and I had no idea who he was. A few years after having stopped listening and playing music due to the death of Jeff Buckley and my lack of caring about music for a while- I heard Songs for the Deaf and it brought back my desire to play again. I had no idea that Lanegan was a part of the band at the time.

Greatest Band Ever!

Definitely benefitted from having Josh on that extra guitar on tracks like this for the extra texture

[@sherston]

Lord, I wish the Screaming Trees would reform!

[@doctorjeep86]

Literally had 1 foot in the grave and still nailed it. What a guy

[@steverambo4692]

I just watched the nearly lost you video, it’s like night and day how different mark looked

[@1thug1luv8]

Excellent Band!!

[@davidleewrath6919]

His vocal performance is awesome considering the previous 12 hours. And he still had more years to go with drugs. Lots of close calls up to this point.

[@coltsuperocean10]

...agreed, he is very good. Jimmy Chamberlain is also such a brilliant drummer.

[@adamweston4152]

There's a live video on KZbin of this song with a string section and an amazing guitar player and it's a wicked rendition of this awesome song, we miss you Mark ‼️.

Qué cantante ! y el peformance de la ptm. Lástima que mucha gente no conozca este grupo.

[@alicetickle]

Just came back to this after hearing about Mark’s passing today. Fucking mega

[@eevinaiti]

Great song! I lived in the same building with Lanegan those days and, let me tell you, things were not looking good. Was so relieved when he left Seattle in search of a healthier life style, cause the way he was carrying on was deadly. Went to the Seattle club show of the Dust tour and he was barely able to carry through... He looks so much better now - I guess whisky beats smack as an addiction...

[@nebulaaah]

Librainian I heard he used smack to save himself from whisky!

[@presswire]

that's unreal. what's your take on how he wrote up living in your block in his memoirs ?

[@denisefrontino1101]

ROCKIN' ON GARY LEE...! 🌼 *great frickin' band!

[@DizGuys]

Nailed it! Excellent performance :) I remember watching this thinking Mark looked 3 quarters dead, but could still belt out the vocals.

[@matthewbaines8943]

RIP Mark. Sad day for rock.

[@LoveArt86]

What a voice. He is one of the greatest voices of grunge together with Layne, Cornell, Vedder and Weiland... 💪 You can also add Cobain if you would ;)...

[@christopherjames5471]

Mark Lanegan is only 32 here. He looks early 50's

[@Nobodaddy99]

Looks like it met him in the showbox in Seattle but I can’t tell. If it was, I was at that show.

[@DrRepper]

Anyone who needs a demonstration of the ageing effects of Heroin need only see how young Josh Homme looks compared to Lanegan in this. Hard to believe Mark was only 32 here. Amazing he made it as long as he did considering how close he came to the brink in the 90s. So, so sad he's gone. RIP Mark, they broke the mold with you xxx

[@scottashe984]

That's from all the other garbage. Booze and Meth/uppers are the worst. Heroin slows metabolic processes.

[@LanceTranter]

So godamn great!! I truly love Screaming Trees!!

[@Stewartchampion]

Such a wicked version ...Mark on top form while hanging on a knife edge ...check his book ..bloke lived it .and sung about it...the real deal for sure

Rest in peace Mark and Van.

[@urrrccckostan]

Goddamn I love electric sitar. The riffs here are fierce!

[@hippydippy]

This band should have been HUGE! They were every bit as good as all the other Seattle bands if not better in many cases. Mudhoney as well. Hell they started the whole Grunge thing!!!

Lasciatemi galleggiare su questa musica. ogniqualvolta sento parlare, il rock non morirà mai perché ci sono i Måneskin.....cerco subito l'antidoto all'ennesima cazzata, risciacquandomi le orecchie con la musica che mi ha accompagnato durante la mia vita.
