Veruca Salt - Seether (CONAN, 5-21-14)

[@Adyman182]

A grunge band with all of its members still alive and performing today is a rare sight

[@joakimsiljelind118]

It's whats happen when you are a heroin instead of injecting it.

[@AAH2006]

What about seether?

[@stupidrichards]

What about pearl jam and silverchair?

[@swise63]

this was from 9 years before you posted your comment...

[@jamespatrick74]

Silverchair? Daniel Johns is sort of alive

[@dBro4769]

God damnit it makes me happy that Nina and Louise have put their differences behind them. Life is too short. Love this band!

[@Tim85-y2q]

Same. As a child of the 80's/90's this was a badass performance.

[@dBro4769]

@@DizzyJerk I get a lot of satisfaction from the experience of not remembering something and sending my little brain minions to work while I move on with my day/life. Eventually one of these minions pull the right file long after I’ve forgotten about it. They’re good dudes.

[@rosajeffrey6112]

​@@dBro4769 Of course they have put aside their differences. They are evil piece of crap crazy women , idiot moron.

[@jjh5374]

Damn, they sound amazing! One of the more underrated bands of the 90’s still kicking ass!

[@HermanWaldorf]

This riff kills, in 1995 or 2020 does not matter.

[@michaelfeldman2328]

Saw them open for Nirvana. I want to go back there.

[@sweetestcyanide]

awesomeeee!!!

[@scotthill1728]

I seen them open for Bush. In all honesty I thought there live performance was better than Bush who was headlining. At least that night I seen them they were.

[@jonathoncaldwell9064]

Saw a show where them and shonen knife were opening for sonic youth it was awesome.

[@HermanWaldorf]

@@scotthill1728 I saw Bush by chance in Italy when they were unknown. Honestly, they sucked. I've never understood how they could become so huge.

[@qotitadelsol8689]

I saw them open for Līve, along with PJ Harvey. What a bill.

[@markw6586]

Still on rotation and people still singing along in 2024, enduring to say the least.

[@jamieoberdick9790]

Yeah, it's pretty timeless, man.

[@JohnnyNation]

Hard to believe these two ladies were apart for almost two decades !!!###

[@jasonpate7900]

Veruca Salt has such an interesting and heartwarming back story; a tale of letting go of grudges, apologizing, and moving forward together. Friendship is rare.

[@MAOPATA]

All the Essence of the 90´s in one band..... Nina, Louise, Jim & Steve We Miss you!!!! Please Tour Again!!!!!

[@Dulcimerist]

In the early 2010's I often told my younger friends about how awesome Veruca Salt was, and how they missed out on their live performances. Then I heard Conan announce they had gotten back together and were going to appear on the show and got so hyped. I expected them to play brand new stuff here, so as soon as they played the opening to Seether, I was totally blown away! One of my favorite performances!

[@flashbackonleonard]

Love this band and song. Long live the 90’s!

[@scopeitout]

This is Great!!!! Each members sound is evenly prominent. The guitars, bass and the drums. What a Jam! Excellent live performance!

[@alexfernandohuenten1374]

Yes

[@johncabiling5304]

Holy crap, they sound great still.

[@r.r.hughes9808]

[@jumpinjojo]

[@jessejafrnd]

They can still make their guitars screech in all the right places.👍

[@JR-xj2vr]

The absolute unmistakable vocals of Nina and Louise.

[@sinepari9160]

20 years later and they're ON POINT

[@CFazz]

Still love this song, guitar riffs are the 90s through and through.

[@mloftin6472]

So bad ass to see Jim on drums.

[@Tim85-y2q]

He's definitely hitting those drums in anger here.

[@HLinc.]

I love it when he misses a crash hit..his sticks stumble. But he smiles and chuckles. But he keeps pushing forward. 🤘🏼

[@joelhorton6929]

@@HLinc. I noticed that too.

[@dandonovan1]

The song still gives me chills!

[@bryannelson6139]

Wow after all these years they still rock !

[@Futbol-vl9qd]

This song is one of those which you definitely need to play only by doing downstrokes on guitar. It gives more power to the song

[@maryseraphenon]

1:48 the pain of missing the crash cymbal is unbeatable, especially live

[@LIBREPUB]

He seemed to find it amusing 😆

[@patrickvolk7031]

I think Louise got the lyrics wrong there also.

[@jumpinjojo]

I thought I was the only one who caught that!!

[@andyroid5028]

*_Nice catch. Drummer is LHAO afterward. 👍🎸_*

[@nigelcarren]

This is my first listen... So I read your comment, watched the clock count down, crossed my fingers, willing it to happen then at precisely 1:48... BOOM! It's absense was indeed absolutely ****** deafening! 🇬🇧🤣🇺🇲

[@kevinm3428]

Real joy on all their faces, awesome to see. The drummer kicks ass.

[@immothebeardedguy5759]

Jim still has has same energy on drums!

[@TexasCovertCarry]

dude is a beast

[@realjoshhayes]

Crazy that he never played before Veruca Salt. He learned drums because Nina (his sister) needed someone for the band.

[@m.j.c.6969]

Yeah and if he could actually keep time he'd be perfect,.

[@steverose1977]

It's beautiful. They did Glastonbury and were great, then had kids. Many years later, they are still best friends.

[@joesbeard]

So glad they were able to come together to give us that album & tour.

[@jamesmcgarry5469]

Great song and I'm happy their still doing it!!!

[@danziger69]

Luv these ladies!

[@danziger69]

And Gibson SGs for the win!

[@kravitz1999]

I've been watching this everyday for the last month! They killed this! So good!

[@rachelflair4835]

I love this band. Gritty, raw...and powerful.

[@mloftin6472]

Wow. 6 years ago. I hope there is a new EP or LP or some U.S. concerts coming one day.

[@MachineLevene]

The bass is so good on this!

[@ЮрийКонюхов-м3з]

Классная вещь. В молодости полюбил эту команду.

[@RayFromLUCKYSHADOW]

I've seen a bunch of really great live performances on Conan, Letterman, and SNL. And thanks to KZbin I can listen again and remain convinced they were great. But it really makes me wonder why bands tinker so with "live" albums. I don't know if you're all aware of this, and I just found out a few years ago myself, but very few live albums are really fully live. Most feature overdubs and splicing of different performances. Some, if you read about it, they're totally shameless. Half the parts or more were re-recorded in studio. I mean, I highly doubt there's time for any overdubbing of a talk show performance before it airs. And think of SNL! Those performances go out live. I had never heard Alabama Shakes until SNL. They sounded amazing. As does Veruca Salt here. That rhythm section (the original dudes!) kicks ass. Wouldn't you listen to a live album that sounded this good and no better? I sure would. I remember the Conan performance of "Wolf Like Me" by TV On The Radio, it was actually BETTER than the album. I got the record because of the live version and, while still a great song, it seemed kind of anodyne and overproduced in comparison. I don't get why bands don't just record something like this and release it. I saw a video of Arcade Fire at Glastonbury and it sounded amazing. I doubt there was any overdubbing. How could there have been? Why aren't recordings like this good enough for bands to release as their live recordings? I mean, yeah, you can tell it's live, the harmonies don't line up down to the exact millisecond, but who cares? Don't people want their live albums to sound live? I'm not talking about mixing. Obviously you're gonna wanna mix an album before releasing it. But overdubs and splicing, and straight up re-recorded parts, and calling that a "live" album? That's sickening. But apparently it's the norm. There's very few actually live live albums. Why??? This sounds amazing! Just do this!

[@live2cd]

im with you... thats why i started taping shows when i was a teenager. that way i can hear them back the way they were performed without any tinkering.

[@RayFromLUCKYSHADOW]

@live2cd Dude, that's so cool! I didn't even notice the channel name. I was just on a Veruca Salt kick this morning. I'm gonna subscribe and check out more of your stuff. Cool idea.

[@black-eyedNed]

Great mix and guitar tones.

[@brantfinck2544]

2024 and I still love this song, saw Veruca Salt perform around 2008 but not the original lineup so wasn't the same.

[@Xuevium]

They still kick ass... always have, always will. i send out my love and childhood nostalgia to the smashing pumpkins and veruca salt.

[@josephtelegen8754]

As a huge fan, it's just awesome to see them back together and clearly enjoying themselves.

One of the greatest riff in rock history. Love this band. Their story of forming is fascinating.

[@kingtonalice858]

Makes me so happy to see 2 beautiful women keep it real for so long. Rock on 🤘

[@frugalfilmmaker]

My favorite performance of this song, second only to Glastonbury '95. Both versions have a harder rock edge than even the original recording/video. The mix sounds pretty solid (except the reverb they put on Nina during the chorus--why?), and everyone looks like they're having a blast!

[@jesterssketchbook]

that glastonbury performance is a freaking masterpiece

[@tonyhicks1960]

Agreed - Glastonbury 1995 rocks to no fucking end...my favorite performance...
