The Muffs - Lucky Guy (Video)

[@Burp_reynolds]

Why weren't they more popular?! Seriously one of the best screams ever in rock 'n roll.

[@roguenation]

I would attribute it to crooked band management as well as anemic marketing/promotional support from Reprise.

Johnny KRAPS II They do deserve the popularity, yes. But, it's always awesome when you have those bands that are a hidden gem in the world of music.

[@raulserrano3670]

You know it. And I totally agree on Kim's screams. No one else screams like that!!!

[@dicksohard9691]

I concur (blood curdling scream)makes my testicles tingle...in a good way though

We lost today a very talented singer. R.I.P.

The Muffs is a hidden gem. I seriously adore this band, they're deserving to be a prominent figure in 90s punk rock

[@silverfoot6079]

Especially with how much they influenced Green Day's sound. I know they had the same producer, but this band makes up like 70 percent of at least Green Day's older material

When I first moved to Socal from Ohio, the Muffs were playing in Long Beach, but I was only 20, and it was a 21 and over bar. My boyfriend and I went around the back of the bar and the band was out there. That lovely bad-ass singer told the bouncers I was her sister so I could get in and watch the show. Fucking love them, and love her so much!

[@VanielDeeform]

Amy Kline Thanks for your story. What a great lady & amazing memory :)

[@amerocker]

You were Kim Shattuck's _sister_ for a night! 😊

[@imvandenh]

@dani cali I think you are mistaken in your presumption. You don't have to be 21 to see a show in the states. You have to be 21 to enter an establishment whose primary business is serving alcohol. Or you can enter with a parent or legal guardian accompanying and in that case, you can be served alcohol as well with their permission. The OP is recalling a show in a bar many years ago when the band was so hungry they would actually play venues that were 21 or older. Not much money in shows like that because there isn't room for many people. Most shows are not in 21 or older venues like taverns. Been to lots of shows before I was 21 and so have my own children before they turned 21. I played guitar in a band that opened for the Muffs about 25 years ago in Milwaukee. It was a designated concert venue that had several bars serving alcohol within the building but was an all ages show. I was 16 at the time and was the oldest one in the band. We not only got in, we played and stayed for the Muffs and probably half the audience was under 21.

[@fuzzsicknesss]

That's the best story I've ever heard.

[@valley2727]

Damn. I met her once when I was working at the LA zoo circa 2003. She wanted to buy an animal shaped sippie cup and I couldn’t believe it was her! I asked her how to correctly pronounce her name and she was so sweet about it and said that it gets mispronounced all the time. She signed a postcard for me and I let her take the sippie cup free of charge (duh!). Truly an icon. TRULY! RIP Kim Shattuck. 💖💜❤️💙🖤💛💚🧡

[@wickedlee664]

One of the best live bands I ever saw. I think it was like 93? They were in a big argument on stage. She and they were amazing.

I saw the Muffs several times in and around Hollywood in the 90's. Simply one of the best live bands there was, and Kim was simply one of the best frontwomen ever, period.

[@ibelieveicansoar]

So how is her name pronounced?

[@MattPless]

Man, I've been singing the praises of this band and Shattuck as a brilliant songwriter since the late 90s. Kim passing away fuckin' hurts bad, but I'm hoping in the aftermath, The Muffs finally spread like wildfire to the ears of the masses. Kim deserves to be heard by as many people as possible. R.I.P 💔😢

[@IzzyECole]

Since her passing, I've seen countless comments on here from ppl saying they've never heard of the muffs but are now a fan after being recommended songs by KZbin

[@JockoV]

@@IzzyECole Yep I'm one of them! I'm pissed that I never knew they existed until a few weeks ago. If it wasn't for youtube I don't think I would have ever known about them so thank you magical youtube recommendation algorithm! I was in high school when grunge dropped and they would have been one of my top 5 favorite bands for sure. I'm obsessed with them now binging on all their albums soaking in their glory. I can confidently say that Kim is my all time favorite female singer; her screams and chainsaw voice kicks so much ass! She seemed like such a genuinely sweet and fun person in all her interviews and I'm heartbroken that she passed away. Next time I hear thunder I'm going to just assume that's Kim's voice rockin' out in heaven :)

[@JohnM0rris]

I first knew them from rock band 2 back on 2009 I think. I loved their cover of kids in America and didn't get really into them until recently. Learning about Kim's death sucked. She was amazing and the band kicks ass. Love to have heard them at all

[@dannyspelman1468]

Let the masses continue to listen their boring, piss poor shite. They don't deserve her. The Muffs are for individuals like us, not sheep.

[@bensiive47]

Good seeing you here Matt :))

[@theplutoniums]

I miss Kim shattuck and the muffs. Been into this band a long long time. Still come back and listen! What a great legacy Kim and the band left! This debut album 👌

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

She always showed so much genuine attitude and real punk energy that it's very difficult and hard to process she has died. You will always be on our hearts. Rest in peace.

[@miked4309]

it really is. been thinking of her every day for a month now.

[@kevind825]

One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Kim put a boot to any person getting foolish enough to mess with her on stage. Such a great band. That scream!!!!!

[@pourtaghi]

Rest in power, Kim. One of the best.

[@Iamflohello]

Ive only recently discovered this band but Im confused - why did they not get amazingly famous?? Theyre fucking great!!

[@CrisisGuildWOW]

Because main stream cant/wont appreciate true talent and unique sound. They just want something to "dance to".

[@briankehew579]

The A&R guy at Warner Bros (Dave Katznelson) who told them to sign Nirvana suddenly had credibility. After that, he found The Muffs and got them signed. Great songs, cool band of interesting guys and girls. They really blew it - because it should have been a sure thing. The songs prove it.

[@edgyprince7463]

RIP Kim Shattuck your music, voice, scream, and memory will forever live on 😭💔

[@ramiromunoz8423]

I discovered them too late

[@ModMokkaMatti]

It's never too late to become entranced by the eternal awesomeness of Kim. I'll be forever grateful to discovering The Muffs some 30 years ago whilst at Uni. She, Ronnie, and Roy made so many great albums together that I regularly return to, either via my CDs or online, and it was great to hear her as part of The Beards, and reunited later on with bandmate Melanie Vammen in The Coolies, too. The true Scream Queen 👑 lives forever in our hearts.

[@Creative-ik5xm]

I love her. I’m so bummed she’s gone. What joy she brought to the world.

[@VolksdeutscheSS]

You are so right: Hard to think about anyone who was happier in what they were doing than Kim.

[@briankehew579]

A shorter life, I wish it was longer, but she did such great things.

[@rjrod1326]

RIP KIM!! First saw the muffs when I was 16 at sunset junction music festival in Los angeles...I was already a big fan..but was so blown away by their live performance..last saw them in 2018..so happy I got to see her one last time

Kim’s passing brought me here.. rip.. the debut album remains a underrated classic among the major label frenzy for punk and indie acts in the early 90s

[@POPNDOUGH]

Found out about them from Guitar School magazine back in '93, and have been a fan ever since. Their show at TT the bears in 95 was one of the best shows I've ever been to. So much energy, and sweat. I also loved to play this song in one of the garage bands I used to be in.

[@stinkypinkeee5085]

I loved this band the minute I heard this song back mid-nineties, and still listen to them regularly...when Kim Shattuck passed away, it broke my heart...I'm not a fanboy, don't like meeting celebrities too much, but I would have loved to have rhanked her and the rest of the band for being my private joy for nearly three decades...alas...

[@JulieDodgshon]

This was the first Muffs song I heard, it was instant LOVE! Its hilarious and I understand it so well. I used to go see the Pandorahs and I would stand in front of Kim, she is the reason I started playing Bass, I remember Melanie too I was sad when she left The Muffs, Is there a Muffs Behind the Music? Want!

You’re a Lucky Gal to have seen The Pandoras live and The Muffs. And yes, there must be documentaries on both, as they were criminally overlooked and deserve more exposure.

But if you were responding to the original poster, then you have issues.

[@steadystates1]

Saw them around '95. At the time they were the loudest band I'd ever heard. Kim screamed her ass off the whole set. It was fantastic.

[@VanielDeeform]

frarfarf It’s weird I remember that time & know what you mean, because their songs are pop punk and high calibre at that. Perhaps because it was female fronted and there were slight Grunge elements & of her previous band The Pandoras to their sound; so they just weren’t mentioned in the same circles. Everyone always put the other bands you mentioned together as the most well known from that time + Offspring. What do they have in common?
