Meat Puppets - No Joke Demos 1995

[@peace.attack8971]

Amazing! Thanks so much for posting!

[@FaxanaduJohn]

These demos you've been posting of late are incredible- the arrangements are at times quite different from the final recordings. Posion Arrow's bridge, for example, sounds very different, and I'm not just talking about the completely different lyrics. Are they even the same chords? Really awesome historical document.

I do really like Scum and I can see why it was the single. All the other songs are great though and it's the end of their first era. What a run it was...

Los meet pupets fueron los primeros en inventar el grounge se nota que stone temple pilots y nirvana les copearon a ellos

[@Drew823]

Not really the MEAT PUPPETS WERE NOT GRUNGE. They influenced NIRVANA but it was bands like REDD KROSS and GREEN RIVER that started Grunge.

[@spacewurm]

These tracks sound a little strange

[@Kirreu]

Stranger than the final versions on the actual album?

[@spacewurm]

@@Kirreu no, just seems like some took original album tracks and used an audio program to edit them heavily.

[@Kirreu]

@@spacewurm Are you saying you think that's actually what's happened here? Or just saying that as a way to describe the sound?

[@EdFredHernandez]

​​@@KirreuThey might be someone who hasn't heard demo or rehearsal versions of songs before, in general.

[@kaden_eaugh]

@@EdFredHernandezyeah they def dont sound like the original tracks at all

[@Sipex6484]

Curious as to what they did with all the stuff they used to make the music video when they were done. Just sayin', owning Kirkwood's street sweeper would be pretty cool 😂Nice video!

[@Kirreu]

That would be cool yeah, but I assume they just rented an actual street sweeper lol.

[@RobertWhite-rj7qv]

Dave Markey made the video, you can rent anything in Hollywood!
