Tumbleweed - Silver Lizard

[@cetb24]

To this day, Tumbleweed remains as one of the greatest live bands I've ever seen. They played with heart and soul regardless of crowd size. Some of their most explosive and energetic gigs were performed to a handful of folk. They made you feel glad to be alive. Still do. Dammit! I miss tumbleweed

[@garyspillett7103]

TOO TRUE.THEY BLEW ME AWAY ON THE THREE OCCASIONS I SAW THEM LIVE.SO HEAVY AND THEY ROCK......AN AUSSIE NUGGET

[@leenagle2903]

Just saw them tonight in Brisbane. Still holds true my man.

[@hamquestion]

One of the greatest songs of all time.

[@lovesren]

I accidentally stumbled upon this video and man I'm glad I did. I had completely forgotten about this song! So great! They don't make Aussie music like this anymore.

[@zarbicore]

This has to be the first ever stoner rock song I got into. I was so happy I rediscovered it on an aussie rock playlist on spotify. COME OUT OF THE CAAVE SILVER LIZARD!

[@nomis7791]

i fucking love this song! long live mid-90s australian 'alternative' -WHAT AN ERA!!! glad i was there!!!

[@blacksaxmusic]

arthurthomas77 the truth

[@topendgold9284]

Me to....lived in the gong at the time, worked at Bulli with some great people, point boys, Jethro. Party at the Ryan's, beer at the Bulli, waves, great times.

[@cheynebuckner2368]

so true!

[@tootles444]

One of my favorite songs.

[@stoneymcstonerson4504]

seeing tumble weed was one of my fave concert expierience, i think it was a homebake, there was way too many people and the mosh was sick, everyone covered in sweat jumping to the music, fucking awesome

[@750valve]

love the weed, saw them a few times, one of which was a club in richmond (sydney) about 1995ish with about 10 other lucky punters - no one else showed up to the gig - it was awesome, they played to the 10 of us and then had a few drinks at the bar with us. Top blokes

[@superhappygoodluckchannel4308]

I miss the 90s........

[@jimmerz50]

is this the best aussie rock song ever?

[@MrCaveman77]

No there are hundreds of awesome Aussie rock bands that never got the exposure they deserved Do some searching and you will find

[@ilupir77]

The Screaming Jets!

[@supadoopa8954]

+Charley Smith went to the Annandale with the old man and bro to see celibate rifles, and saw cosmic psychos supporting, hands down best pub gig ever been to

[@holyguacamole2684]

Oh YEAh IT IS🤙🤙🤙🤙🇦🇺

[@csn6234]

It's good, but it isn't the best. Ever heard of Midnight Oil, son?

[@paul13kelly]

Love it. Bought this cd in late 96. Was the sound of my Summer. Thanks crazy Mary for sharing.

[@angeLinterupted]

Fantastic,,,, lol , used to love this song , massive smiles

[@GreyBeckham]

Remember when they started as the Proton Energy Pills? Got that album somewhere. You can get three Tumbleweed albums via a torrent hunt. Another band that just could not quite break through. They were big but I think poorly handled by the record company. I think they signed to Atlantic which at the time was a huge contract. I used to love em in the early days, Hippy kids with no shoes, shy introverted girlfreinds in tow, absolutely massive wall of sound, playing at Sydney inner city pubs.

[@djskein]

This sounds different from the versions I have. I got the song of the first Homebake complilation as well as an album called No. 1 90's Rock.

[@verve71]

what a gem!!! the last time i saw this was many years ago round about 1am on on sunday morning.....

[@NumeroBurnso]

First tumbleweed song I ever liked... awesome trippy video too

[@limespiders]

[@silverswangames]

I love this song havnt heard it for ages . Thanks for uploading .

[@jimmerz50]

[@dherdy9205]

The best Aussie band for me

[@TravisSmith1]

this song+my teenage years = awesome memories!

[@davidbrianfisher]

Thanks for posting mate not heard this one in an age! Nice work Oz from a Brit brother in arms :-) - go 90s!

[@43stevox]

Such a great song. Flows so nicely.

[@brettgoodwin1655]

Long time since I have herd this music

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

I don't remember the Proton Energy Pills - my first exposure was when they supported Rollins Band back in...what...'94? I was hooked from that moment, and tracked everything down - even the The Unheard demo tape! Golden music and memories and they deserved to be much bigger. But they are well-loved, and giving it a second go, and now recording again! May the second time around be sweeter :)

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

This is great

[@blacksaxmusic]

Psychedelic Desert Groove

[@verve71]

i saw the 'weed about 94/95 at livid festival in brisbane (at west end before it moved to rna show grounds) and its is still a set i remember. they were awesome. i think silverchair headlined, but the 'weed were devastating that night.

[@arpegio88]

So addicting...

[@Eff_One]

Always liked this song...

[@vanstar]

LOVE this best Oz rock forever - classic ;-)

[@ewoltrev]

i have that same Homebake compilation...

[@ihopethisusernameisa]

love love love love

[@RUSSty1975]

i remember seeing these guys at Narrabeen Sands hotel back in the late 90's and the support act were something for kate.........good times.

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Hell yes! There's a few more good Tumbleweed tracks for you, then maybe Dreamkillers, Alchemist, Bleutongue...but bed for me! Bests for Friday ;)

[@musashi876]

Masterminds (1997).

[@paluxyl.8682]

also Aberration (1997)

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

The audio has suffered a bit over the last twelve years on video tape - as has the picture quality. It's the same as the album version though.

[@Attackschlerm]

CrazyMaryCrazyMary Sounds great

[@blacksaxmusic]

sounds dirty and analogue as,,, love it holmes

[@TyronBass]

Great things from wollongong-steel coal thumlock and best of all tumbleweed

[@MadCatRiley]

Anyone else get this LP with the bonus songs?

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Some are in 'The Unheard' now - check out the comments on Daddy Long Legs for some info.

[@engineboom]

Great to discover this song on You Tube, it's a pity to find out this band is from........Wollongong?

[@melliexo]

These guys are cool.

[@NicholasSans]

No deal young jedi.......

[@GrappleMania01]

Although im british and never been anywhere even sort of close to aus i do kind of like a few aus alt bands tumbleweed, mantissa, crazymother wtf happened to aus music ? The same happened here though bands like Gaye Bykers on Acid and Bomb party wtf went wrong ? Bring back the 90s

[@beaishabelquiao3130]

Wow its really old

[@MadCatRiley]

OIne of the best bands to come from Oz... Tumbleweed, You Am I and Children Collide, make the top 3

[@arthurdent6828]

Mark of cain.............???????? Eddy Current????????? Where do they sit?????

[@MadCatRiley]

Dunno, where do they sit according to you?

[@arthurdent6828]

I don't speculate on these things..

[@MadCatRiley]

+boog nish why not?

[@arthurdent6828]

Chris Riley Because it's stupid...

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Also Richie and the Creeps, the Pink Fits...

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

Love to help a 'Weed fan :D

[@engineboom]

@CrazyMaryCrazyMary: I built a "Personal Transporter" not to dissimilar to the one at the start of the clip and unfortunately it has never worked (it is still in my back yard). Besides the ridicule and often laughter that this machine designed by the "Gods of Grunge" created I pursued. (FACT - No one from that Wollongong has ever made one of these people movers). Does that answer your question?

[@undeaddread]

@GrappleMania01 the rave scene hit the uk & everyone turned gay & had huge gay orgies in warehouses, thats what went on in the 90's

[@MacPac78]

In the middle I can see like a centipede

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

@engineboom What's a pity about that?

[@fathalwolf724]

I'm here

[@jimmerz50]

cmon people!

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

I should be making my way to bed...

[@pworth13]

@GrappleMania01 for good Aust music try Karnivool

[@Bunks1971]

Really??? Might have to go....bought their first album in '92, had it nicked by a drug fucked Portugese dude in London ten years later and have been meaning to buy it again ever since. Classic!

[@michaeltownsend129]

No lead break.

[@HAYW1R3]

No, music is just on a steep downward spiral.

[@CrazyMaryCrazyMary]

I pity the poor bugger that lost it!

[@utubetrutharrowmichael-and9105]

Acid

[@aussiebuzz]

Probably because they got more and more stoned ...

[@vasool82]

love the band love the song , but bloody hell thats a weak music video

[@charon000]

love this song - pity they got shitter and shitter every album they released

[@peterbirrell4176]

Superior version, Walt hypnotises me to say this! Typical.

[@JAStheACE]
