Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls

I was 17 in the summer of 1997. I just started my first job, working at Target. My first check was like a little over $100, and I spent it all on CD's. One of them was this album, and to this day, I still remember that, and it's special cause of that. Spent the whole summer rocking out to it. Money well spent. Great band.

they needed a good manager and to check their ego's at the door. As is the case with a lot of very talented bands it seems they couldn't get out of their own way, became more interested in promoting themselves and their individual work. Which is fine, but they got tossed back in with the rest mankind heh. What made them special was what they did together. Shame really, they had a massive impact (think the modern band Seether) but it could have been bigger really

[@chuckeecheeze4649]

It's as simple as the pair is far more valuable than either one of it's parts. Nina solo and Veruca Post neither were that great. But together they rock some killer harmony and unique separate vocal parts. I love Ghost Notes, too.

"their earlier work" lol

[@PrisonerD]

The main difference is Bob Rock recorded this song - if Seether had been recorded and produced like this rather than being raw like it was (they were on an independent label at the time and had only played a handful of shows), it’s likely they would have been absolutely massive with millions of sales rather than just being big as they were. They also made a bit of a gaff pulling their second single off of MTV after Seether, which tanked sales of their debut album just after it had hit gold status. Great band nonetheless.

The red one that Louise used is a 1965-66 vintage guitar; whereas the one that Nina used is a somewhat " 'SG'-shaped" Melody Maker version, that Gibson revamped the model into during the period from 1967-through-1970. ~ Ladies have long preferred Melody Makers -, because they are LIGHT-WEIGHT. Joan Jet also has long used a 1965-66 vintage Melody Maker, which (according to Rock lore) she bought from Eric Carmen after he left the band The Raspberries.

Ionut Tudorica Agree. She is the hotness.

[@ziweiyuan]

+Ionut Tudorica I didn't miss her, then or now. As 90's crushes go Hope Sandoval was my everything, but I definitely get what you mean about Louise.

[@Kinnakeeter]

2020 and it STILL sounds better than 98% of the lifeless garbage that's out today

[@hunkachunk6856]

Agreed

[@natejennings5884]

Agreed. I miss when rock had power chords.

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

you know what's especially irritating? the music that's in commercials these days is totally devoid of imagination and if it's not some kind of asian video game crap it's a version of the lifeless music played on radio.

[@peterbigblock]

98%? That’s being generous.

[@douglaspharr]

Love the leads voice. She’s amazing.

[@toddfoster8705]

They were Awesome.

[@DumpsterFire.92]

I saw them in Boston at _The Avalon_ in 1997. (WAAF's Halloween Cash Bash). I won tix to see them that year. *Truly, one of the best nights ever!*

[@SilentKiller-fx1qj]

Saw them live in Lexington Ky back in the day opening for Bush they were freaking amazing

[@ericafair9983]

I love how she referenced their other song! 🥰🥰🥰😍

[@ronaldmonroe3621]

A call back to "Seether" is super clever in a Beatles' "Glass Onion" reference.

[@MrLandry2010]

I kind of miss this time, i was in my twenties and we weren’t at war with anyone and the economy was doing pretty good it was before the 9-11 insanity and war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I love this song everytime I hear it, one of the best songs ever, it just rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Got to love Veruca Salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DavidASahakian]

This song is on my personal list of the 20 best songs of all time. It is genius on many levels. Here's one genius aspect I haven't heard people talk about: the quatrain ending with "The Seether's Louise" is a direct reference to a similar quatrain in "Looking through a Glass Onion" on the Beatles' White Album. Beatles: I told you about the walrus and me, man You know we're as close as can be, man Well here's another clue for you all The walrus was Paul. Veruca Salt: I told you about the seether before You know the one that's neither or nor Well here's another clue if you please The seether's Louise... Furthermore, each song is a reference to a previous song by its band. "Looking through a Glass Onion" references "I am the Walrus", and "Volcano Girls" references "Seether". This song is art.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

That's insane, I JUST noticed that 25 years later.

[@joejones9520]

i never thought about that most people arent into the beatles enough to know glass onion and catch the reference, good that you pointed it out.

[@karenhaggard7094]

here in 2020.. my 12 yr old son was rocking this!!!

[@Tylox1]

It never gets old…

[@DenisBarden]

Rt. These girls are fantastic

[@B-unit13]

My cousin used to work at Z95.3fm in Vancouver in promotions and back in around 98' I believe, she surprised me and my sister with not only tickets to see Bush X with Veruca Salt but also backstage passes to meet each band after their sets. Pretty cool nght for a 16 year old me, even if I didn't know much about Veruca Salt. I remember thinking both these gals were babes when I met them in person 😅🥳

[@hlfzephyr7796]

Being in my 20s in the mid 90s was such awesome fun. I wish I could go back

[@wich1]

I simply cannot watch 0:47 without getting weak in the knees, dang Louise ❤️❤️❤️ You Rock, in every possible sense.

[@michaelperry9946]

That extra little groove she throws on it at 1:09 is the reason I keep coming back...
