The Afghan Whigs - Somethin' Hot

Watching this in 2021, I'm a new fan (I'm 29). This band should be as big as Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. The fact they even had the bravery to incorporate and celebrate Black music is inspiring. As a Black man who loves Alt Rock and soul I gotta say 1965 is one of the greatest records of the 90s and it's a damn shame these guys never got the recognition their peers did cause they deserved it. Never put out a bad record. I'll be a fan now for the rest of my life and I hope one day I might be able to see them play. I just hope the band knows their music is still important to younger people like me.

[@noeasylady7724]

Amen..be sure to check out all that is Greg....magic

[@curly_wyn]

Yep! They fused dark grungy rock and post-punk with the black R&B and Soul music, especially from Motown, that they loved so much into something unique and beautiful!

[@chip8204]

Well said! I've been a fan for 30 years and had the opportunity to see them finally last year. Absolutely incredible. And had VIP to hang with Greg Dulli for a bit. He told some great stories and answered questions. A dream come true. Crossed that off the bucket list.

[@aarond3657]

I once read a Rolling Stone article that said, "The Afghan Whigs have spent the bulk of their career on the brink of stardom."

[@aarond3657]

The Church is also an influence, I think that they are Dulli's original influence to play!?

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

Again: Most underated band of the nineties.

[@jeremiahheikkila7604]

Umm ever

[@nickelrider]

Greg is a King

[@jacobdavis9653]

Jesus.... This band is incredible. How are they not more popular?

[@John-yf7iy]

Why isn't vegetarianism and veganism more popular? Why isn't Buddhism more popular? Why isn't protest against the evil lies of Israel and the US government more popular? Why is tobacco more popular than marijuana? Why is alcohol more popular than marijuana? People are in general dull and ignorant and stupid. The more sublime, true, and real something is, the less likely it will be "popular".

[@jacobdavis9653]

Good reply man

[@inmyangelhood]

or somebody might just prefer tobacco over marijuana.. think about it.

[@thewitchmalphas]

+Israel Did 9/11...or maybe, just maybe...you smoke too much pot.

[@John-yf7iy]

thewitchmalphas In 2001 an Israeli company owned by Jews operated a state of the art email-cum-social networking program called Odigo. With the software you could select groups by selecting certain criteria, such as place of residence, age, gender, and, happily (for them), religious or racial affiliation. It is a matter of public record that several thousand Jewish employees and tenants who would under normal circumstances have been in the buildings when they were destroyed, were alerted via the Odigo client to under no circumstances go into work that morning. It is a matter of public record because the FBI initially began an investigation into the phenomenon, but, naturally, quickly shelved their inquiries, and the one or two rogue reports that made it through the media blackout (which remains steadfastly in place today).

[@amberferrano5166]

I love Greg Dulli. He is one of the best singers EVER, great lyricist, frontman and great band. I guess now days it's not possible but a Greatest Hits album would have to go Dbl Platinum if not better. So underrated for how great these guys are.🥰

[@Drew090111]

I heard this on Six Feet Under years ago, and I've loved them ever since.

[@mariaalcaide2546]

Andrew Terrell hehe I heard it that series too

[@bobbyrawson]

This song should have 10 million hits. 100,000? That's ridiculous. A 90's rock classic, period.

[@jimmycapp29]

My personal favorite Whigs song. Sublime!

[@oliviapope8133]

Incredible song!

[@mattturner7531]

1965 is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@eldubya7972]

Ditto

[@veheteron]

Go listen to all of their records and don't get into a relationship until you do.

[@chrisjoyce70]

Hahaha! Good advice!

[@razvangoga2362]

*slow clap*

[@Zazie29]

And then what?

[@rachelcoisnacoillte6023]

Why?

[@gameojigames586]

Underrated band,should have still been on top for much longer! Dulli is a beast!

[@ohsoloco5113]

Saw the whigs play The Crowbar in State College PA in 1999. Hands down the best concert I've ever seen.

[@angelaa1611]

Wow...the Crowbar. Haven't thought about that place in years. Went to so many great shows there. Afghan Whigs were unfortunately not one of them.

[@lambert2969]

Saw these guys in 1996 in London. A lifetime ago. Mind-blowing gig. GD was on form that night.

[@DveMcGuire]

The Afghan Whigs should've been bigger.

[@bradjohnson6678]

Probably one of the best songs to do it to me! .

[@kittenhoodie]

10 plus years later and this song still makes me blush.

[@grendel824]

Easily one of the best live acts I've ever seen, too - and I've probably seen hundreds by now...

[@MrThomyorkey]

The Afghan Whigs Forever

[@milkmankennedy]

Greg Dulli has to be one of the horniest dudes ever.

[@OberynTheRedViper]

Nah, just an eloquent one.

[@jorgemoreira604]

My whole and full respect for the girl in the vocals, she makes such a difference for good, improves and already amazing song

[@carlindapierce6598]

I DON'T GET INTO OVERSEXED MUSIC BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS STUFF......

[@sinnyc11]

"Baby you don't know Just how I lie awake And dream awhile about your smile And the way you make your ass shake. If that ain't love I guess I'll never know A sweet lie You'd be surprised Just how far I'd go to make it so." Perhaps the greatest verse in rock and roll.

[@sinnyc11]

He's whispering everything you want and simultaneously fear.

[@MrRayen123]

"RADIO BEAT - CLASSIC ROCK!" Every rocker in Czech republic whos listen RADIO BEAT knows this song!

[@eldubya7972]

Dobra Prace!

[@adventuretruck8057]

Worlds most dangerous band

[@msgeevious]

I always need a cig and a shower after listening to Dulli sing. Was it good for you Greg ;-)

[@tendraftsdeep]

2024 anyone? Always

[@kenokeno00]

back up vocal is on...and strong...

[@brandonmyers4617]

The great Susan Marshall aka Honeymouth

[@doozerace]

Yes. The Sexy is strong with her....

[@PrimaryMysticalExperience]

Best snare sound of the 90's

[@louiseb3653]

This song is just 👌 first heard it in American Pie 2 back in 2001 & haven’t stopped listening since

[@GasolineAddict1]

These guys had talent, the more I listen to them the more I like them, just can't help stop thinking Greg Dulli looks a lot like Tony Hadley...

[@sonicrampage]

absolute classic tune

[@JJMedusa]

-- Seeing them live tonight! 🎉

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 Definitely, basically impressed by Greg Dhulli regardless of the band he is in. It's a disgrace that he isn't better known, but here's an idea about how cool Dhulli is, been telling a group of construction workers that worked on my neighbors house about them and they are now fans, so his music is enduring. A guy came over and asked who it was when I had them playing.

[@edsa1318]

Epic band! The genius of Dulli and guitar sound of McCollum create some class stuff!! Hope they tour the UK again.

[@TrotOn340]

20 years ago I had a guy I knew make me a mix CD of songs and this was on it, do you think he was interested in me?? 🤔😆

[@eldubya7972]

Possibly..

Afghan Whigs live

[@curly_wyn]

Motown in Hell = Afghan Whigs

[@grendel824]

@brettmajors69karaoke Met them outside before a concert in LA on this tour, I think. They were very nice. One of the best live bands I've ever heard (I think I saw them 3 or 4 times at least over the years, and they always sounded great).

[@MrRockett88]

Whigs rule.

[@michaelpreston233]

They were around for a while. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore hosted them on 120 minutes and ''Beck'' back when'' Looser'' came out in the late 80's The good times for MTV.

[@maxmaexchen4445]

Fucking great in 2021

[@nickelrider]

Recorded in Memphis Tn at Ardent

[@msgeevious]

That's what we love about him ;)

[@derrickcrump9617]

This video feels like taking acid and waking up in the 90's

[@HazeFace100]

This track rules my universe.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 Yeah, I've even gotten a lot of people to listen to them and they became fans. The Twilight Singers and Gutter Twins are good and so Dhulli is still doing.

[@fernandogalvao245]

Obrigado.

[@fastladyuk]

the real thing

[@ireamon2010]

The better is for a few. A great and unpopular band.

Hello, Brad.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 I'm not the only guy who thinks so, good. It's a shame not too many people in the South know about them.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 Excuse me, the good music not being available for karaoke is a tragedy.

[@alexzamuner3000]

no ones hear this in american pie 2?!

[@fredpretraket]

I did!

[@DrumDevil95]

Alex Zamuner i think anyone that isn’t deaf heard it.

[@echolot]

which scene?

[@donymegapratama2702]

damn, i had search the song from thats movie LOL

[@tinclunge1234]

echolot About 10 seconds worth of the song is in the bit where a few people are dancing at the party.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 I'm hoping that there is another gutter twins album comming out soon. By the way I am angry that I can't find any of their stuff on karaoke cdgs.

[@svenllama]

@XoAsma4Xo Their original name was the Black Republicans, but they had to change it for some reason I can't remember.

[@XoAsma4Xo]

@stonersten ohh okay

[@XoAsma4Xo]

why are they called Afghan Whigs?

[@caseykane3845]

Some sources say that they took the name from a Muslim motorcycle club in Florida. I'm pretty sure that's b.s. On the other hand, when they were in college, Greg Dulli and John Curley were in a band called Black Republicans. My theory is that "Republicans" was replaced by "Whigs"--the Whigs were a political party active in the U.S. from the 1830s-1850s. As for "Black"... "I can't see how "Afghan" could be an equivalent substitute. However, there's a type of hash called Afghan Black. Maybe that's the connection, and how they turned "Black Republicans" into "Afghan Whigs"? Hell, I dunno. But I think it's a damn good band name because it doesn't convey a clear meaning or image.

[@XoAsma4Xo]

@svenllama ohh okay... but is there like a reson why they named themselves that?

[@lucas94380]

[@FollowingFollowers]

funny

[@peetlish]

what's he whispering in the beginning?

[@caseykane3845]

All I can make out is "You got some stuff?" / "Yeah." Then something about "Rainbow," which I assume is a drug reference, but it can refer to so many different things that he could even be saying "Taste the Rainbow" 'cause he's got a bag of Skittles. And, of course, the clearest part of the whispering is, "I'll meet you in the bathroom." So, basically, it's all about DRUGS! Or Skittles.

[@brettmajors69karaoke]

@foo2985 Another tragedy.

[@ferielb.a9113]

Thumbs up if "Six Feet Under" brought you here.

[@boilersrock1]

Here I am trying to enjoy a high-quality band, and just below the video is a banner advertising that god-awful Rhianna.
