Matthew Sweet w/Richard Lloyd - Sick Of Myself - '95 MTV 120 Minutes

[@chrissimpson6701]

Prayers for Matthew who suffered a stroke this month. I remember this guy well, I also had the CD 100% fun.

[@RecycloneRecycling]

I love the guy I found 100% fun at down in the valley in Golden Valley in Minneapolis for a quarter fucking CD is awesome so is he and Richard the whole Band Whatever

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Richard Lloyd is a beast on that strat

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Great record. Matthew Sweet was a hit machine with Lloyd and Quine (RIP).

[@diabolikmitchell2960]

Wow, holy shit. Richard Lloyd shredding this entire tune, just sick. When MTV was worth watching.

[@DaveAnchovies]

i heard Quine played on the lp, but was so pissed at the mix, he never talked to Sweet again. Both amazing guitarists.

[@danielstoddart]

@@DaveAnchovies I heard, in relation to that incident, that Quine left a savage burn phone message on Sweet's answering machine complaining about what a terrible person he was for mixing him off the record and telling him he'd never work with him again.

[@DaveAnchovies]

​@@danielstoddart yeah, he was basically mixed out at times, i doubt Sweet was the one to to blame... thats what the phone call was about. LLoyd and Quine played all over the lp, on different songs....100% Fun was as good as anything Sweet put out, Altered Beast remains my favorite, though. Quine is a master of the stratocaster...even when he's not shredding, he's at toning it down, but both guitar gods. Something about Quine...self taught, looks mellow but in fact, was a wild man. they can be hard to differentiate...both fed of the others style which is totally distinctive.

[@danielstoddart]

@@DaveAnchovies I got to hang out with Quine at Manny's Music when he was buying guitars. He was a nice guy but his style was that he was straight on the outside but bent on the inside; way more punk than the guys with spiky hair and safety pins in their shirt and piercings everywhere. It's tragic what happened to him because he was absolutely a phenomenal player...could blow a lot of people right off the stage, and I'm talking the big name famous guitar players that everybody mentions.

[@patrick4662]

8 years later MTV has no music!!! Probably didn’t have any 8 years ago either lol.

[@liamgallagherful]

I could hear 100 false endings of this song and still not be Sick of Itself

"one more time..."

[@robrob1723]

Richard Lloyd is one of top 100 guitar players to ever live . Believe it

[@markomarovic86]

top 10, maybe even 3. better than hendrix. but it obviously doesn't matter.

[@HOUND-ini]

Top 20

[@cawley]

Just saw Richard Llyod last week in a bar in Philadelphia. He's as good as this and as good as when I saw him in 1987.

Matthew Sweet AND Richard Lloyd. What else do you need?! Brilliant!

[@GiordanoBruno_-sp9oo]

He was the guitar player of classic New York band Television. Have a listen to their best album "Marquee Moon".

[@noblepath]

Maybe do your homework before throwing that "fuck" in there ...

[@vincentmichael2587]

It's why the internet is littered with impertinent nonsense. Ultimate irony being that they are online where they could easily open another window and search "Richard Lloyd," though they'd rather post profanity. World's gettin' weird, man.

[@DjElSemtex]

The two mentioned plus Robert Quine, as I saw them play at the Milkyway, Amsterdam, summer 1993.. :-)

This is just great. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonathanweier7949]

I had gone 20 years without realizing Richard Lloyd played on these records.

[@rjbelcher4415]

I had to thumbs down this comment. Why? Because, this stuff is what Liner Notes are for. I'm 39 and I'm talking about how in my day you used to buy a CD and then read all of the fine print in the booklet to find out who played what parts on what songs and where the thing was recorded and who mixed it in another state and wonder why Matthew Sweet was published by BMI and not ASCAP. I'M OLD!

[@JonnyH123]

MTV’s 120 Minutes was must watch TV in the 90s, along with Beavis and Butthead.

[@612Taper]

that's Stuart Johnson. I had not seen him since Matthew in 95, then last year saw him playing with John Doe opening for the Replacements in Hollywood. Kicked ass back then and still working hard.

[@patrickgannon2112]

Thanks. I really like the sound of his drums and cymbals. Having a hard time finding a gear page for him.

[@01DaveJr]

He had Ivan Julian play w him when on Letterman in 95. Not to make less of Lloyd. Just a killer choice in lead guitarists is all I'm saying

[@its1110]

And recorded 100% Fun with Rbt. Quine (RIP), also. Another great.

[@tysparks598]

I saw him play in Nashville in 1994 (Altered Beast tour) & the lead guitarist from the opening band came out to play with him (they were called something-Jonestown Massacre, I think?). He was good, though, even though his band had gotten booed offstage. Probably not the best idea to open a Matthew Sweet show with a scream metal band 🤷‍♂️😂 Matthew Sweets shows were a lot of fun, never knew who was gonna join in... Had that happen once seeing 10,000 Maniacs with a GF (she wanted to go) & Michael Stipe comes out & they do "Don't Go Back To Rockville"... Ah, the 90s. ♥️

[@01DaveJr]

@@tysparks598 oh yeah. The Brian Jonestown Massacre. They can be Stones-y, hippie, pop rock-ish, or noise. They are notorious foe A LOT of drugs, esp when u saw them. There's a wild doc abt them too.

[@joeseymour4073]

I saw that performance! Ah the good old days...

[@paulsethre6651]

Nels Cline must have went to the Richard Lloyd school of guitar

[@camerriam]

pretty much, yeah. nels has always claimed television as a major influence.

[@erfling1]

It's an interesting school. You should look up his lessons on here. It's mostly just him talking about Hendrix and Pythagoras

[@richardsantillano7153]

Nels Rules he's his own man....ya know?

@@erfling1 A Richard Lloyd guitar lesson was $100/hr last I heard...and worth every cent.

[@solipsismworld]

Would've loved to see Richard and Robert Quine trading licks on this.

[@AdamAustinWilcox]

And throw in Ivan Julian. Sure.

[@shadowspectrum]

Might as well have Tom Verlaine in there too and have the ultimate Television/Voidoids crossover. Those 4 are some of my favorite guitarists of all time.

[@fazeka]

Holy fvck! Richard Lloyd!

[@UnknownIdaho]

Great song! Matthew Sweet used to have this kind of Neil Young look, now he looks more like Michael Moore!

[@crapple009]

Just an observation, but he has put on tons of weight. Perhaps due to a medical condition?

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

He got fat like Steve Miller did.

[@owlsley5]

For all of you born after 1975 the guitarist here , Richard Lloyd, is a founding member of this group Television in 1973 and here is one of his best songs... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWXWZpWgasuNhZo - Enjoy

[@WordsAmpersand]

Born in '81 and I've been listening to Television since 1994!

I would have offered Days, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWi4m6ONnatlmpo

[@michaelsweller470]

Born during the Carter administration and I know who Television are. I also know about other stuff like, I dunno, the history of the Roman Empire, and the career of Sandy Koufax, and Dutch paintings from the 17th century. It's amazing, people can learn about things that happened before they were born!

I don't think anyone has discussed playing,and been as able to just put it before you like Richard Lloyd...can. Um, l was around him at sound checks rehearsals at cbgbs....and..l didn't care for him,and perhaps that was the wrongest... idea l ever had.
