WIPERS - So Young

[@Jorf420]

The chorus in this sing makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up it's so fucking awesome. long live wipers

[@bucketsAMF]

The Wipers just started showing up on my Spotify daily playlists and I'm so glad they did. I havent listened to their full discography yet but their 80s stuff is fucking amazing.

[@void0094]

@@bucketsAMF I recommend everything by them tbh. The Circle and Silver Sail are so good...

this is truly beautiful. You don't even have to be able to understand what he's saying to understand what he means. you can just see it on his face and hear it in the music. After hearing this i don't think I have the right to call myself a musician

[@mr112254]

Was at a Melvins show a few days ago - wearing a Wipers shirt. Kid couldn't have been more than 15 years old comes over and says I like your shirt. There's hope .....

[@melvinmelvins5202]

Wore mine at a Melvins show in Brighton several years ago, no one said anything but they played Youth Of America and the place hit the roof.

[@BrainTraumatizer]

@@melvinmelvins5202 I was at Mike Watt and the Missing Men show wearing my Wipers shirt, and Mike Watt mid song stopped playing, looked at me, pointed at his chest, meaning he saw my shirt, and mouthed "WIPERS" at me. haha

[@c.mcxrdle5224]

im 17 and the wipers have been one of my favourite bands since i was 16. there certainly is hope, somewhere

[@sdm1568]

"There's hope"? What a cringey thing to say just because someone liked a type of music you and many others enjoy. Thanks for the douche chills!

[@herbbirdsfoot]

@@sdm1568 You the cringe, young putz.

[@TNNLZ]

It’s so cool to see this footage… gives me chills. Closest I’ll ever get to seeing them. Thanks.

[@micke18ans]

i have to admit that i discovered the wipers thanks to nirvana, but im not ashamed of it. this band i s now one of my favorites. so depressing, dark, it's all in the feeling., in the sensation the music gives you. it's so beautiful that i often cry when listening them.

[@chuckabbate6650]

Micke Pelle true that. i might a copy of the wipers live 85 for a good friend.he told me he cant listen to it too much just too heavy if that isnt a compliment i dont know what is.

[@codymcgrew94]

Nirvana is an incredible band. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@Billygk25]

Crazy to think Greg was 10 times better live than in a studio. How is that even possible!? His playing is hypnotic, mesmerizing, therapeutic, and visceral. Look at him on stage with the build up, he’s displacing energy 10 fold his own onto the crowd.

[@ShadSimm]

William Kreiss guys a beast, you know he’d be playing with the same intensity even if there were 9 people in the crowd..

[@Antanix]

unfortunately studio albums are "underproduced", slow and thin drumming, bad mixing. This one is 100 times better

[@Silvio_Spina]

Exactly, you can feel the energy coming through him. Fuckin A

[@RaBob]

Still have my Wipers T-shirt and three Wipers cassettes with all their vinyl (1979-1986)... gift from Mike for recording his band SNAKEPIT in Eugene back in 1987!!!

[@tmittelstadt]

Mike put out some great albums as well!

[@imthegrk]

This was the sound that I was looking for as a kid in the 80’s. I didn’t discover this band till the late 90’s. Greg Sage is like a rock monk. He lives Rock n Roll daily.

[@dirkhuhn4571]

Saw them in the eighties and early nineties in Bochum and Dortmund, when i was so young,They still touch my heart nowadays. Greg sage is a musicians with heart and soul, crossing the lines to Joy Division, my other favourite band in these days.

[@Caribou1983]

Dirk Huhn Do you happen to know if there are recordings of those shows you attended?

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

I was in Bochum too. will never forget it.

[@void0094]

You're lucky man...

[@justine_holloway]

Not just the song but the intro as well is incredible ... those beautiful ringing tones ... almost like bells ringing out

[@c.mcxrdle5224]

greg sage is absolutely mesmerising to watch.

[@Firefred1]

I agree, the Wipers were one of a kind. I saw them live, and later, Greg Sage on his own. He was brilliant. I still listen to his music. Thanks for posting.

[@Billygk25]

Glam rock ruled the 80’s and not this?!?!?!? FTW

[@skridtractor875]

Once this live tune gets going, the beautiful melody is captivating. The studio version is equally amazing (as are most of their tunes. But, this one is a stand-out!).

[@ccz93]

[@odiumimbues]

omfg this is god. i swear to god this is god. the mostly deadly guitar player ever in the existence of man.

[@zimzir]

+odiumimbues ....not even

[@odiumimbues]

***** the extent of notes being played isnt the criteria. Its the amount of intricate chords and their relation to each other. He gets all the highs of harmony to me. He plays like hendrix, composes like beethoven at times. sounds like sad rebellion. thats my style im sticking to it.

[@chuckabbate6650]

odiumimbues dead on he is hendrix's child. a tone like no other.

[@upiersoupires]

it's unbelievable the talent he has to transmit emotions with his guitar. looks so fuckin' simple... you said it man, he's god!

[@rallelkrallel9203]

He,he ...like the son of hendrix...yeeeah there's a path between greg and jimi!!

[@michaeldeianni200]

absolutely incredible as always. I understand why people mention Nirvana. But The Wipers have credibility far beyond Nirvana and their overstated approval. And it was a drag to have to listen to Hole maul over the edge. great box set available for this band. explore them.

[@ShadSimm]

sabbracadabra Nirvana were overrated overachievers who came along at the right time and carved out a career for many bands. Not a bad thing and they weren’t a bad band. But Sage and the Wipers are a different concept altogether....

[@ShadSimm]

sabbracadabra I’m not shitting on Cobain as a songwriter I think In Utero was his finest moment. There were other bands just as good who deserved the same level of fame, Mudhoney being one. But fame has fucked many a band up so....

[@ShadSimm]

sabbracadabra it’s all about personal preference in the end. Cobain name dropped loads of bands and Wipers were one of them so that’s how I discovered them. He helped a few bands out too (Jad Fair,Shonen knife etc) opening for him cos he knew how hard it was in the underground. Although Sage was one guy who couldn’t be persuaded.

[@FaxanaduJohn]

Oh fuck off it wasn’t Nirvana’s fault they were popular.

[@Antanix]

Sonic Youth probably learned from this track

[@ozzy9117]

Which Sonic Youth song? I'd like to hear it. I think Nirvana got inspired by this song in Radio Friendly Unit Shifter too.

[@Mraquanetchris]

Probably some.... Sonic Youth major influence - Destroy All Monsters.

Portland used to be a great place that spawned legends such as the Wipers. Unfortunately 'that' Portland no longer exists.

[@FaxanaduJohn]

Great if you want cringe-fest riots and moron governors!

[@collectYaNeck]

its still there. in the cracks and crevices. waiting to resurface. The 80s -90s portland was dark and almost depressing. late 90s early 2000s was the greatest place to turn 21. It was like living in a novel.
