If anyone can have a show in Regina, Saskatchewan involving playing drums on the audience, insulting drunk fans, farting into the microphone and taking the show outside to jump off some signal crossings, it would be the Israeli band Monotonix.
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Live on Top of the Pops)
From the Wiki:
In Nirvana’s only performance on Top of the Pops, frontman Kurt Cobain “played” his guitar with his fingers inches away from the frets (and occasionally clutched the microphone to make it obvious that he was not playing), drummer Dave Grohl danced around in his seat for most of the performance, and bassist Krist Novoselic waved his instrument around his head. Cobain also sang in a low, dramatic opera voice, later claiming he was trying to impersonate Morrissey.
Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter (Nurnberg ‘00)
Pearl Jam always reminds me of this one summer when I was on a competitive sailing team. I think that might be the first time I’ve mentioned that. More on that later.
Anyway, most weekends were spent zig-zagging across the province to a steady soundtrack of CD-Rs. One was about half Tragically Hip, half Pearl Jam and we wore that shit until some tracks refused to play.
I seem to remember playing it in the middle of nowhere on the 401 on the way to Sarnia, Ontario. Yellow Ledbetter was one of the louder ones.
I still have no idea what he’s singing, though.
I’m dumb, she’s a lesbian.
Plastic Bertrand - Ca Plane Pour Moi
I had to find out what this was. I’m glad I did.
Coldplay - Fight For Your Right, All Points West 2009
Here we see Chris Martin cover the only rap song he’s ever heard.
