STABBING WESTWARD SHAME live 120 mins

[@dannedifyoudo]

They are totally underrated. One of the best bands of the 90s and so good live, which is the proof.

[@jasonpeters3558]

One of the greatest Rock songs ever written! I shared a rehearsal space with Christopher’s band The Dreaming, in Los Angeles a while back such a sweet man. I’m glad to see that they’re giving SW another go. The world needs great songs.

Chris has my favorite "screaming voice" of all time. SO effing amazing.

[@dravendefeo8443]

Dude im a beast at vocals and screaming i can pretty much do it all but to this day i CANNOT do chris hall's scream his singing is easy as shit but when he gets that high pitched scream The how can i exist without you part i just cant do it bro! Shows how amazing of a talent that man is

[@bandcavecovers]

@@dravendefeo8443 Huge fan of Chris' too. His screaming is awesome but for me it's the more subtle things--like the timbre of his voice and the vocal creaking he does during a lot of quieter passages... He may not have the best technical chops, but nevertheless very high on my list of top rock vocalists of all time.

[@mainstreammenace]

Five minutes of raw energy, emotion and melody. Thoroughly enjoyed that! What a great band.

Man, that drummer is sick.

@@wolf42i40 He wasn't technically in NiN, but he did play with Trent Reznor in The Exotic Birds in the immediate pre-NiN days.

[@gadgetmama]

@@randybennett2989 Hey... I'm a disciple of Stabbing Westward as well as a professional musician Myself, signed in as a friend of mine The BPM is around 108, the perfect "jumping" crowd pocket. Good head bobbing. Good groove. Good energy. Andy Kubiszewski, the drummer, was the frontman of 80's synthpop set "The Exotic Birds", and brought a solid pop sensibility to this band. Classically trained on percussion, he also toured with Prick and The The (as well as guested on The Downward Spiral by NIN), before joining Stabbing Westward after David Suycott's departure in 1995.

[@rolandogonzales614]

I love this song since it was released 26 years (!!!) ago. After all these years, I realized that this cool song is firmly grounded in Andy's clockwise drumming skills

[@amphetamean66X]

One of the great underrated bands of Industrial Rock. I love them so much! His voice is amazing live.

[@rhorschack]

Performance is tight and the sound is huge.

[@staggin82]

This is one of the most raw, hard rocking songs ever. Lead singer sounds good singing or screaming.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

staggin82 his name is Christopher Hall

[@mikevogler5455]

Gotta admit, for a band of that genre, all aspects of the live performance sounded extremely spot-on in comparison to the studio version, which really surprised me. On a complete sidenote, very cool that they got the same drummer from AC/DC, back in the early '90s, to play drums for them, too! LOL!!!!!!

[@bisesik]

Yep. Those were good times. I remember watching them in Atlanta clubs with crowds of only a few hundred. It was awesome.

Remember watching this at 18yrs old in 95

[@SansSelf]

I had the pleasure of seeing Stabbing Westward three times, all headlining shows in and around 1998. Two shows were at a small-medium size venue The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA, but one of them was headlining a radio show in Virginia Beach at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. At the amphitheater it was IMMENSE. Hearing "Shame" in that size venue? AMAZING! I also watched the live broadcast of this episode and it brings me right back to a late Saturday night... man I feel old...

[@SansSelf]

@Jeremy Macgregor Holy back from the crypts comment but that's frickin awesomeness, I'd heard some good stuff last year and knew Chris Hall was doing some remix work. Now I'm stoked dude!

[@DiscFrisker]

@digimortalgod I 100% agree with your statements - one of my all time favorite bands, too, and their music does in deed withstand the test of time. I WAS fortunate enough to catch one of their live performances - and wrote a live show review for FACE Magazine [Portland ME] (RIP) - this particular video is the closest to really capturing what happens when they're on-stage ... absolutely mind-blowing stuff!!! And talk about your energy!!! Glad I found this ... respect

[@dante04srt]

music back in the 90's had so much muscle. now they just cry about girls not calling them back on their cell phones.

[@lilstinker1949]

yeah? which song is that, big boy?

[@vastoholic2]

Considering the majority of SW's lyrics were about failed relationships or relationships in general, it would seem not much has changed then has it? Besides, you're really comparing SW with modern pop radio hits and not the current rock music genre that SW would be in they were still putting out albums. That's a false equivalency.

[@smokinjoe4684]

you're taking Takakura too seriously man. But this song had some hate(muscle) in it with heartbreak if you couldn't tell. Once you get to a certain age the new shit SUCKS. atleast for most folks.

[@vicdillon6278]

Muscle....And DEPTH.

[@babyhandgrenade4004]

Christopher Takakura okaaay they do. I can't believe what alternative has turned into it makes me want to puke and cry at the same time. Kids today are too soft. They have no idea what music with real feeling behind it is. That's because everybody nowadays is offended when somebody sneezes. It's like grow a fucking backbone and learn that real life is not about sunshine unicorns and rainbows. Grow the fuck up. But on a serious note Stabbing Westward was in my opinion one of the best bands of Our Generation. Fuck the haters who try to say that they're a Nine Inch Nails rip off.

The song explains mental illness very well. Like people who are abusers and feel like they own their partners. I went through that for 9 months with a man who thought that I was his property and thought that he couldn't survive without me. Finally I had to leave the relationship and literally flea for my life because I'm sure he would have killed me. It was only a matter of time. I only hope that he's getting the help he needs so that he doesn't do it to someone else.

He's very good at computer stuff and so I am a little scared. It's scary to think someone could be following you.

[@damnitboy9635]

His voice has actually become stronger and better since his SW days. His vocal work in The Dreaming has been nothing short of greatness.

[@sykotik333]

i dont knowe if i agree with that. theres not quite as much grain in his screams anymore as their used to be. more just singing high now instead of pulling out that rage. also the dreamings music is just not as fun... with the exception of maybe the original beautiful. i want synths!/electronics!

[@damnitboy9635]

sykotik333 It's arguable depending on one's preference. Less grain and/or screams doesn't mean it has any less impact, but on the subject of synths, you're in luck. With Walter now in TD, expect more. Chris' words: "Walter and I are back together writing songs and because Walter and I wrote the songs in SW this new album is for all intents and purposes a Stabbing album. we just can't call it that. Semantics"
