Evan Dando is different. I was a fan since Lick. He writes great stuff. He has good taste. Even in his covers. Although my tastes are much more varied now....there's always room for Dando.
@@TheColorFred his taste is like a boullibase of flavor. Nick Cave , Big Star , Ben Lee etc covers are only songs he could do and make it his own.We have Joey Cape , Sly ,etc. Dando is different. Midwest /mideast or abouts is different. I have been listening to the Menzingers lately. You have to listen to The Doughboys " home again " it's from 86ish which b Stevenson and Eggert produced from All. There from Canada. It's one of my favorite records of all time. Let me know what you think. Awesome sauce from l.a california thankyousomuch
@@alexpetronio6382 I remember on my first listen hearing that lead guitar and immediately knowing it was J. What an incredibly distinctive sound. Mascis is magic.
@@TheColorFred I meant "The Big Lebowski" but not in a bad way. Evan sounds like a funny and interesting person to hang around with. I wish he did more records on a regular base and that he toured more often in Europe. Great interview by the way, this video should have far more likes.
Stove is one of my favorite songs. I think the Sassy-type magazines spoiled their image with too many guys that should’ve been into them. I saw them in Orlando on the Come On Feel…tour with Redd Kross. They were great, but my friends that were also in town at a skate park (we lived nearly 2 hours from Orlando) wouldn’t go. He’s one of the best songwriters of the past 40 years. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves. I’ve been listening to IASAR for 30 years and it still surprises me with lines that hit me differently now that I’m older. Lots to love. I wish Evan the best
I'm from the UK. first saw Lemonheads here in the UK around June 1989 at maybe their UK debut at Fulham Greyhound in London. Love that early sets and saw them many times here.
It's funny that Lovey is mentioned as the turning point with Evan and writing...that's as early as I can start with the Lemonheads, just never got into the earlier stuff.
Check out Bezzewax from Norway, their first two albums "the snooze is on" and "south of boredom" I believe they are very inspired by bands like The Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr ... Their first two albums are gems for sure
Finally a clip where Evan is somewhat sober and lucid. Sadly he is the best example of what a lifetime of drug and alcohol abuse does, he was so handsome and vibrant years ago.
Great interview and stories! -- The Lemonheads have been my favorite band since I was in high school, when It's A Shame About Ray first came out. I've learned many Lemonheads songs on guitar ....... even made a home demo-type CD with 4 Lemonheads tracks that I called, "The Lemonheads Type". One song I want to learn, but can't quite figure out the right chords to is The Turnpike Down. Anyone out there know how to play this (chords)? - Thank you!
Saw him a couple years ago in Glasgow and unfortunately he was a bit too * up to perform to his best. I've been a fan since the early 90's and I hope he sorts it out before it kills him. He is so talented.
5:14 i didn’t even make it halfway through. fred’s voice is very shrill and hurts my ears on my big speaker. DANDO IS COOL AS ALWAYS THO MUCH LOVE DANDO
@@TheColorFred that's fantastic, I've been wanting to get the first 4 albums for a while, but I'm not paying insane prices for them (look at how much dead milkmen big lizard goes for on vinyl... $150? ridiculous!) Every band should re-release their music while people are still willing to pay for it, but then again it'll all end up in the ocean after we're all dead, so why bother?
Evan is such a sweet human being. Thanks so much for sharing this!
So cool to see Evan in an interview like this again, hopefully he comes to the U.K. soon cause I’ll be there :)
Yes, I think he's gonna be touring again soon. Thanks for watching
The Lemonheads are currently touring Ireland (Sept 2022) and next week they'll be in the UK.
@@matthewsemple went to see them last week and got to meet Evan aswell!!

Yeah, I cherish the time I've been able to spend with him. I'm a huge fan as well.

This had me revisiting the Lemonheads discography. The self-titled record is even better than I remembered. Jam after jam after jam.
Yeah, it’s so good!!! Thanks for watching
self titled was the descendents feat. evan
@@bobbycecere and it rocks!
J mascis shredding all over it is so awesome

"And if it was meant to be, it was meant to not be..yeah..acceptance is very important part of life." This sound like a quote of Lebowksi.
Yea, Evan is well-read.

Lemonheads were big when I was in highschool. Still love them! Greetings from Croatia
Great interview - love Evan - worked on the Shame About Ray album with him. He's looking fine.
Wow! That’s awesome. Thanks for being here
He was doing great when he did this interview… read my comment above.
God pls bring back the 90s 😔

Definitely agree on your take, they weren't really taken seriously by many because of exactly that.
I'm from the UK. first saw Lemonheads here in the UK around June 1989 at maybe their UK debut at Fulham Greyhound in London. Love that early sets and saw them many times here.
Wow! You saw them early! Very cool. Hope you enjoyed the interview.
love it, the dogmatics from Boston love Evan, such an amazing songwriter and marches to his own beat always
Yes he does! Thanks for watching
The fact that this man did his interview in my room lmao
Interview was amazing. Bend to Break and Lick are two of my favorite albums so this video is right up my alley.
The Damned is to the Stooges as Minor Threat is to the Ramones... pretty insightful actually
That's the kind of thing you discover when you accidentally play yr records on the wrong speed.
It's funny that Lovey is mentioned as the turning point with Evan and writing...that's as early as I can start with the Lemonheads, just never got into the earlier stuff.
Saw a few records that I haven't seen since the early nineties time to find them again! Great job Fred!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Getting major Lebowski vibes and liking it.
Great interview ..,.song added to my playlist too ..
Thank so much! Evan is a sweetheart!!
Very cool. You're a good interviewer Fred
I really appreciate that!
Evan is just his own person. That's what I like about him.
Who else thinks that Fred is a awesome RUclipsr
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thank you for that!
Thanks for being here!
He just seems like a good dude.
What a prince! Fine, fine man!🤘🏽
Evan is the man! :)
Great interview! 2 great dudes.
🙏🙏🙏
Check out Bezzewax from Norway, their first two albums "the snooze is on" and "south of boredom"
I believe they are very inspired by bands like The Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr ...
Their first two albums are gems for sure
Man this is great
This was sick.
Thanks for watching!
Corey Loog Brennan is such an amazeballs guitarist.
amazing reach out for an interview. their last album, car button cloth is my fav from them. underrated gem if any of u guys missed it
*last album from the 90s
Yeah, love that album! And loved playing those songs when I toured with them
I love this! ♥️ It's a shame about Ray was the first cassette tape I had growing up... unless half a New kids on the block redub counts. 😁
Same! Also new kids lol
What’s up everyone!

Thanks for watching! I’ll have to give Turnpike Down a listen thru. 👍
Awesome sauce!
Thanks for watching ✌️
@@TheColorFred my pleasure, adore Dando's songwriting and that song you wrote together is really fine!
Some never quit

Poor Evan... he's all fucked up still.
Totally man. Glad someone else said it
5:14 i didn’t even make it halfway through. fred’s voice is very shrill and hurts my ears on my big speaker. DANDO IS COOL AS ALWAYS THO MUCH LOVE DANDO
Does Fred ever shut up???
fred you talk way too much let the dude speak
Great interview man. Crazy to see such a night owl in broad daylight! Rock on fellas ✊
Lol! Me or him? JK, I know. Thanks for watching
Great interview. Lots of interesting history, and love in this. wow. x Thanks to both of you. Very interesting and so cool.
It was my pleasure talking to Evan! Thanks for watching!!
Love you Mary Lou
excellent . have loved them since shame about ray, then i got into their early stuff too. so many great tunes, would love a new album
everwrite sounds so good 😍 it definitely has a lemonheads vibe to it ;)
Awesome! Thanks for listening 🙏❤️
Lovey was a great album. Evan's an underrated songwriter.
What’s up with Evan on this? Sounds off his head
I saw them on It’s a Shame and And Come on Feel tours
I saw It’s a Shame! Great times!!! Thanks for being here!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is this old? Are they re-releasing all the old albums again for real? When is it supposed to happen? Thanks
No, this interview just happened. But it looks like Lovey came out this past October and there are more on the way.

30 anniversary deluxe edition of Its a Shame about Ray is out now
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 unfortunately that’s when their music started sucking (IMO anyway) but thanks
@@scottbaylo you’re wrong, but that’s ok too
Damn that was cool!!
Thanks for watching!
wish that was longer!
So glad you came by to watch!!
Wow great interview!
Thanks so much!!
A 90s legend when it was hard to be a legend. No social media bs.
This is good shit. Thanks for it.
Fred is so good at dealing with Evan still being f-up
Yea I was wondering if anybody else was realizing that that too
