St Vincent - Kerosene (Big Black) Cover (fixed? audio)

[@WGRevival]

I'm watching this after hearing Steve Albini has died and I love St Vincent that much more. We get Big Black. She gets Big Black. She's a true successor of what I was listening to when I was young 👂❤️ big love to you all.

[@jlc7841]

Nice words.

[@usefulidiot6148]

the drummer is so fucking solid, i cant believe he kept that cold ass mechanical beat going for so long on an acoustic kit. RIP Steve Albini

[@JadedOptimist]

Him and the bassist are on point.

[@weopenspacevienna8281]

yes !!

[@bobclarke7384]

this is probably the greatest big black cover performance I've ever seen. I've never seen albini's guitar tone replicated so well. BRAVO

[@paulthepainter2366]

He was the greatest

[@nirvana454]

My respect for St Vincent just went through the fucking roof. This is 12 years ago! So impressed, and it's a fantastic cover. Serious props.

[@jenniferlvanvolkinburg7333]

RIP Steve Albini.😢Legend!!

[@teflonbilly4651]

I didn't think it as possible for a great Big Black cover to be done :o This is pretty amazing

[@AntonioJR946]

Amazing, 10/10.

[@darkfieldmpls]

holy shit. one of the best parts of this is seeing kids bouncing around like they used to at shows. i wonder if any of them knew this song. super cool. thanks annie!

[@oooBUBU7ooo]

It was the Our Band Could Be Your Life anniversary concert, I guess they did know Big Black

[@Mattwarszawa]

damn! she is fantastic, i love st. vincent and big black, didn't expected this cover

[@yseson_]

After hearing her do this I would like to hear her over KARP “we ate sand”

[@RokuErickson]

Damn. I didnt expect this to be so faithful to the original as if that's even possible. Amazing job.

[@daverice2426]

All that's missing is the around-the-waist guitar strap

[@ckeller-li7iq]

I'm sharing this in remembrance of him. It is proof his spirit is truly alive. ❤

[@ConvincingPeople]

Her version of "Bad Penny" from this set was also sick, particularly the ranting break in the back half, but holy crap, right from the intro the guitar tone is perfect and the energy is incredible. Even Steve Albini himself, a noted massive grump, actually thought she and the band did really well and caught a lot of little details about the songs people tended to miss.

[@richmackin]

While nothing can touch the original, I will say the drummer here is more lively than Big Black’s.

[@westerncivilization]

Fucking incredible. And that drum line never gets enough props.

[@bglasss]

I don't know who this group of artists is, I'm viewing this video for the first time 12 years after it was posted, I was just looking for this song by Big Black; but this performance literally brought tears to my eyes. This is where it all comes together, absolute magic. I would have given so much to have been there that night and witnessed this in person.

[@mrcharlieCFD]

Big Black was awesome. Atomizer was their best record. What a great cover. Respect

[@cftvdata]

I've always preferred the pop influence that crept into their songwriting for Songs About Fucking, but there's no doubt that if you wanna be bowled over by the sheer force of a band's sound, there's no better option than Atomizer. That record is like a violently abusive partner that I keep running back to.

[@mookie2637]

The downside is, who'd playing fingerstyle bass on "Kersosene"? The upside is Annie continues to earn her rep as a fabulous guitarist.

[@nirvana454]

If you're not a pick bassist, you're not a pick bassist. It's a whole different level of coordination.

[@TheYitzach]

Wow absolutely fantastic, thankbyou for posting this. If only St Vincent would record a whole album of Big Black covers?

[@kuzey7809]

Yeah and a noise rock record of original songs would be even better

[@henrydorsetcase]

if you can buy the original albums, what is the point of that?

[@paulpierce3807]

I'm late to the St Vincent party. And just when I thought she couldn't be any more amazing, I find this? Incredible.

[@HB-zi3og]

Just.... wow! And when Annie starts to use the mic stand as a slide. Mind officially blown. An unexpectedy great cover

[@TheDegenerateArtShow]

Just wonderful. I am a massive fan of both artists. That version did great credit to both artists. St. Vincent the absolute dogs x

[@nartprod]

I can’t stop listening to this. It defines everything great about music. Woah

[@YummyBaer]

This fu@king made me emotional. RIP Steve

[@JulioAvalos3000]

One of the best covers of this song around.

[@allangray6764]

Omg that mic effect is demonic

[@airstreamnomads]

Harmonizer.

[@graficgod]

very kick ass cover. great feedback... reminds me a lot of the original. glad to see some of the younger gen. gets the classic hardcore/punk/industro shit going on back then

[@MsSonic1972]

4.39 thats when it becomes a stunning cover 😀 st vincent nailed this 🙂 and thats from someone who saw big black live

[@OldSchoolChinny]

She got that Albini guitar sound down to a tee!

[@franciscobracho5065]

He used notched metal picks. I wonder...

[@dknstrkt]

For future generations, no. Not. Even. Close. Respectable cover to be sure, but that statement is hyperbolic at minimum. Give the man his due.

[@smoog]

Hardly. Not knocking her but Albini is on different level. She doesn't have the hate and anger Albini put into his playing.

[@OldSchoolChinny]

@@smoog I was just referring to her technical accuracy. I know she’s no Albini, but no one is or ever will be.

[@VuotoPneumaNN]

Too bad the bass player didn't even try

[@cftvdata]

That low-octave vocal effect is really put to incredible use here. The only other time I've heard it used this effectively is on a Gun Club bootleg, where it makes Jeffrey Lee sound like the devil rising up from hell.

[@27Finbarr]

Great cover! I’m sure Father Albini would give it his blessing!

[@marcharley6465]

Excellent cover of a great song. Thanks !

[@humanmike6537]

history will show st. vincent guitar god of our age

[@Twin512bass]

Why can I only like this comment once!??? LOL needs a times forever. You are correct

[@johneeeemarry34]

The age is female, gay and lame.

[@jvrtechnology9550]

Absolutely fucking unreal. St Vincent. Speechless

[@trouserminnowwillout6231]

Yeh. Just when all my hope for humanity HAD DIED. I hear an actually good Big Black cover. KEROSENE!!!!!

[@MsMiguel70]

French speakers. Pardon moi. Holy shit. Liked what I heard but literally kinda went ‘uhhh 🇰🇾🇰🇾’ when I saw a Big Black cover. This rocks. Good for them. Good for us. Steve should send cookies. .. the flags because it’s 38 degrees out here and my thumbs are numb.

[@junglered666]

AT LAST -- a better mix! Sweet! The other one has been driving me nuts for years..... THANK YOU! You may very well have saved a life with your valiant efforts.

[@lordflatworm]

Amazing. Fantastic. My heart.

[@williamsaputo3454]

Great cover! Got me to know St. Vincent!

[@williamsaputo3454]

That skinny dude on guitar really rocks!

[@jscurley]

I would have lost my fucking mind had I been there. This is AMAZING

[@pdg887]

I was there, best band of the night

[@damnedlock2956]

very good cover of Big Black.

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

This would be amazing to witness in a small club setting like this one. It might not translate as well to the festivals she's used to playing now, but she should try, just to wake people the fuck out of the fest-funk.

[@amorpaz1]

Oh man, her guitar playing and tone is NASTY! Love it

[@robmcdonald6726]

I'm in love

[@marciocouto3543]

ugly, raw and dirty. loved it.

[@JimJWalker]

Nailed it.

[@swahiliranger1022]

Holy shit that is an ace fucking cover.

[@HBrooks]

wow! really impressive! a cover that brings out the best of the original.

[@Sparkles713]

What is that bass player doing?...... This needs feral ratchet rangling bass, growling like the voice of the devil come to claim your whole family/Not some woolley, woofey slitherey soap. Get some metallic growl in there, I need to hear those strings rattling, the frets about to peel your fingers in PAAAIIINNN

[@Ranjeef]

Well , sure it ain't perfect mr.connoiseur but respec to them for even doing it!

[@ianclunie9753]

Are you listening through tiny laptop speakers or through decent headphones? It sounds big on my studio headphones - Just staying that you can't hear low frequencies on minute speakers. Not to mention that it's live and hasn't had a professional mix.

[@adamwitt8727]

That drummer isn't half the machine Roland was. RIP Roland

[@smoog]

@@ianclunie9753 You need to hear the original version to understand what Sparkles is talking about. David Riley's bass playing was on a different level entirely.

[@witchdoctor1993]

Should have used a pick. A THICK pick.

[@alexander7992]

Best cover ever.

[@PKHenry]

Great cover

[@jvrtechnology9550]

Absolutely fucking amazing

[@nodeeinssiebenneunzehnvier]

....one of the greatest rockvideos ever made 👍👍👍

[@Monkeyhead75]

Great cover!

[@matthewreed2614]

my teenage theme song

[@hwk2hwk]

brilliant

[@mookie2637]

She should cover "Blindness" by the Fall as a follow-up.

[@RokuErickson]

I like to hear their take on Jordan, Minnesota

[@zlatkoigric5084]

What a find! Into st.vincent/annie for good amount of time.first i hear/see this. Jebotebog

[@AbsoluteNut1]

How could Kerosene be done better?

[@MrCijuciju]

really???..well fuck me!!..my favorite song and then St.Vincent.. i can die now.no really.i died.

[@Lane-wf2er]

Her guitar sounds amazing.

[@katharinemooney3867]

RIP Steve Albini

[@VirginBirth-t2e]

🖤

[@leahliddle324]

This is, I can say without any hyperbole whatsoever, the hottest thing I have ever seen

[@Sparkles713]

Why is the audience not moshing? this is a song of so much passion and fury

[@adamwitt8727]

They have no fucking idea what's going on.

[@abelmontalvo4052]

​@adamwitt8727 they are terrified

[@paulthepainter2366]

Steve Albini was the greatest

[@craigvincent8344]

Not directly responsive, but ... just imagine having to be a human covering Roland's parts!

[@logiclust]

RIP albini

[@SteveAFCLondon]

Nice cover

[@SudneyJames]

My goodness.

[@loud_laughter]

I had no idea St. Vincent used to be cool!!!??!! RIP STEVE ALBINI

[@cmeza1985]

I've yet to find another cover video with the drummer playing the part right other than this video.

[@matthewensign9683]

And he's playing a part specifically designed for a drum machine. Very impressive.

[@kirstinline]

this is a good cover. not sure what the keyboard player is doing onstage.

[@AbsoluteNut1]

Fuck...just popped an edible. Wow!

[@johnnydangerously9598]

the kids are alright

[@ganondorfchampin]

This cover is giving me post-metal vibes, like Neurosis or Battle of Mice.

[@WithdrawalDH]

I need a cleaner audio of this

[@majormajormajortom]

Oh, Annie...

[@paddycampbell576]

Awesome!!!!

[@littlewarriorllc]

What Effect Pedals is she using? Delay, Reverb,Distortion? But which ones specifically?

[@severebash9153]

If I were a betting man…a Boss DD-3 with medium feedback and reeeeeeeaaaaallly short repeats

[@DrunkDalek]

dope as fuck

[@imadeeplyspanishman]

Not many peeps can do Big Black justice but that hits the mark 🤡

[@wcsxwcsx]

How did she get her guitar to sound like that?

[@JPNesker]

Holy. Sht.

[@mattgutierrez2942]

Cool

[@BREAKOUT444]

fuck yeeeeeeee

[@steverose1977]

If you can find a bridge better than that, tell me.

[@lemarteau5683]

-Propre, bien trop propre... Big Black au Campus..why not? Une reprise,c'est bien entre deux morceaux que tu as composé!

[@derekr3607]

Fuck Yeah

[@paulthepainter2366]

I've never met a woman who has even heard of Big Black

[@gerrypeacemaker9407]

My ex girlfriend did 😂

[@MrGilberto4444]

Recuerda a Sonic Youth

[@JJONNYREPP]

St Vincent - Kerosene (Big Black) Cover (fixed? audio) 2336pm 12.7.23 and then yer left to look at the styles the musicians take when indulging in performing.. the drummer has the same style as jesus lizard's...

[@christianmendoza8107]

Guitar sound is great, wish the bass would bleed more tho

[@MrMHughes68]

Dear god, marry me.

[@steverose1977]

Nice. X

[@BOOMDIGIDYable]

YESSS (YASSS?)

[@Mklink]

The only way she could've improved this would've been if she'd wrapped the guitar strap around her waist.

[@helar4874]

Issanda püha rist olgu tunnistajaks, ma tervitan teid (use Estonian-English translator)

[@brycebargert2270]

St Vincent moshpit

[@jayeee2756]

I have no idea what St Vincent's musical direction was at this time, but im prepared to wager the crowd had no idea what was going on. Magnificent cover. Can we have Columbian Necktie next?
