[@ckrahe3605]

I still come back to this. I remember hearing it live on triple j and how they explained they had jammed it the night before and it was 9min long. I wish they could have got the 9min version on the air. In my top 10 of the decade either way. Such a hidden gem.

[@jezplaisance]

Agreed, I keep coming back to this too. A little gift for us from VS

[@barrengod2322]

4 years later and I will keep on coming back!

[@jubbjubbber]

OH MY GOD THE SOUND MIXING IN THIS IS INCREDIBLE. HOLY SHIT

[@bikinitony]

7 years later and still the best like a version ever!!

[@romanrauhala7853]

I just discovered Violent Soho.....They absolutely F*kn Rock..!!!! I've been jammin out to them for several days now!! Virginia, USA

[@bigwalful]

Well mate..They are a ripping band, you are only scratching the surface with them in terms of amazing Aussie rock bands..A petty most Australian's wouldn't even know who they or any other of our great bands are.

Drew Waterbury can confirm. I like it. I’m 45.

[@barrengod2322]

7 years later and I will keep on coming back after ridiculous amounts of replays. Which I reckon everyone should do!!!

[@sixty-nine3574]

Really would love to hear them cover 1979. His voice would be perfect

[@angustucker443]

oh my god, I could not agree more. after the intro of smells like teen spirit when James plays for a bit then Michael and luke come in I instantly thought of 1979

[@jordanbowey4175]

What’s the point of doing a cover if it sounds the same?....

[@supergrigy]

so much yessss

[@kellygriffiths137]

Covers - when done right - are a truly beautiful thing. This - Nice - but not quite there yet

[@StamperOSRS]

Jordan Bowey not all covers need to be transformative, sometimes it’s just one band jamming a song they like

[@andresfelipeladinoespitia]

It's been years and I still get the chills every time I listen to this masterpiece. Pure gold.

[@FiZZ..]

The Stereo on this live track is mind blowing.

[@carleymccallum6915]

*SCREAMING* 6 years later and this is still so fucking smooth and good as it was when they first performed it.

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

I loved the little tease of "Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana at the start before continuing to play "Lazy Eye" by Silversun Pickups.

[@HBTSChannel]

Great commentary by The Great Sloth Lord

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

+Alleyne Aviles Thank you very much, I love your profile picture, by the way. It looks really awesome.

[@avedgy]

Hell Fuck Yeah!!!

[@timofeie]

haha classic

[@IceCreamHeadache-ge1hc]

it was actually Rape Me i think

[@hamishrobson2905]

I was driving home from Jindabyne. 48°c in my VW golf with no AC. Heard the first 10 seconds and increased the volume. 2 minutes later and my fiance was blocking her ears and screaming at me to turn it down. 2 years later I'm living in Bali and this song is still giving me chills. One of the best moments of my life. I will never forget that moment. I will never forget that day. I will never forget the moment this song made me fall back in love with music!

[@shanadekelly9509]

Still in Bali mate or moved on? I’d love to open a bar in Bali or Thailand dedicated to Aussie bands, music and our culture in general. Just without the lockout laws lol

[@oli1764]

@@shanadekelly9509 mate thats a sick idea! what first got me interested in aus was all the excellent bands like violent soho, muncie girls, smith street band , stiff richards ect that you guys have produced and ive now ended up over here! 10/10 would help at that bar

[@Statutoryape83]

Was waiting for end of video to ask this. Second comment, listened from shit ear buds on shit phone. Was blown away. Crispy bass, tight drumming, loved it.

[@joshDsho]

Luke's bass sounds SO good

[@wadejohnson2700]

joshDsho as soon as he came in that was all I could think.

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

I definitely agree, it sounds so damn good especially on surround sound earphones.

[@odinp]

it all sounds good, these guys are definitely quality.

[@rby128]

i listened first without my headphones and as soon as i heard the bass i had to grab my big headphones, amazing!

[@mattdavis7245]

ahh yeah. so darn solid..love coming back to this song...

[@hcxwj]

My old English teacher is Luke's brother. They look alike too. I find it really funny that one of the brother's is a private school's English teacher and the other an Australian alternative rock band's lead singer. Very different personas...

[@odinp]

TOY0BOY0 I used to live with a guy in Brissy that was the vocalist of a punk band, community cervix, on weekdays he taught year 4 😀

Luke Boerdam(Unsure of spelling. our teacher was fine with Mr Boredom)

[@davidegiani3818]

Really funny considering Luke's unbearable accent. Can't believe a relative is an English teacher ;)

[@pamgoldsher8584]

Why am just now hearing this brilliance?! I'm blown the (bleep) away!! Bravo gentlemen!!

[@MorDbasher]

Guy started singing and I felt like I got slapped in the face by The Smashing Pumpkins.

[@yuriysarkisov1684]

Same here :)

[@TheSpyChecker]

His pronunciation and his high notes are vaguely similar to Billy's. That's about it. It's the song itself... the guitar, but specifically the bass that's reminiscent of the Mellon Collie, and to an extent Siamese Dream sound.

[@NoBrakes23]

Grumble The original sounds like Smashing Pumpkins.

[@relaxdean1568]

coriganish kinda vibe, totally

[@danman6669]

Silversun Pickups have often been compared to the Smashing Pumpkins, so that may be why, even if this is just a cover.

I'll probably never get to see ya'll play tho', unless ya'll tour the US, in the Deep South, specifically North Alabama!!! Easy days, mello nights!!😎😌

[@J31392]

Great songs from triple J recently. I always loved this tune.

[@smitsta]

Masterful cover. Great sound quality. Every instrument sounds so clear

[@Connnorrrify]

I remember it like it was yesterday... October 20th, Friday, 2016. I woke up at the crack of dawn, today was the day, like a version of the mighty Violent Soho, Brisbane's 3rd favourite foursome, of course behind State of Origin Series 2006-2009 and of course State of Origin Series 2010-2013. I threw on some boardies and my trusty Van Halen shirt that I was generously traded for my ripped Hawaiian button up mid-way through a solid 6 hour session of Karaoke at the Vic. Back when it was in the front room of course, when you weren't frowned upon for tipping one of your two glasses of sugarcane champagne all over yourself while belting out "Don't look back in anger" with a room-full of the rest of Brisbane's finest. I'm getting a bit off track here, but swear to god, I went down to Mitchelton's Blackwood street precinct, got myself a steak and mushroom pie and headed home in my falcon. I got to the driveway, chucked her in park and heard the morning duo revving up the country for this cover that you just watched. I made a split-second decision to run from the comfort of my car to the lounge room where I had the boombox waiting for me. I switched her to 107.7FM. Fuckin static. Wtf do I run back to my car? I found that antenna port on the back of the thing. I stuck the missus' cross-stitch needle into the back of it and had to hold one hand on the needle and the other on the trusty dogs eye. Luckily for me the neighbour's Jacaranda tree was in beautiful bloom, I felt like I was being pulled into Euphoria, one hand stretched out for the 3rd best Foursome in Brisbane, one for the local dogs eye. Best part was that the last swallow down of my pie timed in with the last sound of the cover. We finished together. They say it's times like these you need Minties, but speaking from experience, a Castlemaine Cranberry goes down just as well!

[@Gummerman]

What the fuck are you on I want some

[@dansoil1216]

The most queensland thing ever written.

[@Connnorrrify]

Weed's a hell of a drug

[@damianberzinski]

[@idonteatcheetos]

Bro you're telling me Brisbanes most beloved band is a bunch of drug addicts? Australia needs to clean up their act if they want to be taken serious

[@2bLackCats1989]

Holy cow, just heard this for the first time. I am a SSP fan and VS rocks this. Amazing job, outstanding audio. I am listening through my Bose wireless sound denting noise headphones. No commercial but seriously amazing sounds. Great way to drink you morning coffee on front porch.

[@andrewerntell4775]

Im a big fan of The Silversun Pickups and I admit I wasn't expecting much before I heard this. I was wrong. A great cover. Pays homage to the original with enough of a spin to make it their own. Good stuff!

[@bolopez3084]

Seen SSPU at the Palladium in Santa Cruz last year.. Bad ass concert at a bad ass little venue... This took me back to that time. Well played Violent Soho.. Well played 🤘🏼😉

[@bushturkey72]

Their gig at Festy Hall on Halloween night was just "ace"...loved the audience singing along to "Your the Voice" and "Waltzing Matilda" before the actual gig, how amazing was hearing the whole joint singing along, gave the lads a great welcome to our city and they delivered, one of the most energetic gigs I've been too, the whole place reminded me so much of gigs back in the 90's!! Hope they come back and do it all again soon!

[@aqualove6777]

fwybwed I would love to but I don't know how to find members lol.

[@residentsleeper5678]

I'm in the same boat as you, Aqualove... I write a lot of songs. Some of them are pretty heavily inspired by Violent Soho, too. I just can't find people who are super into playing in a band using music I write as the basis for what we play. Idk, man. It's hard. Just keep trying.

[@aqualove6777]

Violent Talent it's not only finding people but it's finding ppl with passion and consistency as well. Like are they going to turn up to band practices etc. It just seems to be luck really stumbling across good members.

[@residentsleeper5678]

Aqualove I feel you. That's basically all there is to it. Best of luck to you. Maybe someday we'll both have bands with some sick singles and albums under our belts :)
