I still remember when I was first saw these guys I was like "who are these nerds?", "are going to play soft music? I think I am in the wrong place"....then *BAM*......whoa, HEAVY sound.
Smashing pumpkins made multiple hits that sounded not too far off this lol. Smashing Pumpkins did leaps and bounds more for alternative, goth, shoegaze, whatever the fuck you wanna call them than these garage rock one hit wonders.
Miller Thyme Yeah it was a late night weekend type show just like Alternative Nation. I always stayed up late to watch this stuff as a kid. My parents hated it, but of course back in the 90's MTV was hated by a lot of parents lol. It should be more hated now I think than what I got back then.
I heard this song a very long time ago, and I really liked it, but I did not even know the artist. And now more than two decades have passed, and yesterday, quite by accident, I turned on this clip and recognized it, and I was as happy as if I had found a music brilliant that I had lost for a long time.
I miss 120 minutes, I miss HUM, I miss the '90's. I just about fucking cried listening to this, so many memories, good and bad, shooting through my head. Easier times back then.
Saw these guys so many times front row in Illinois. I saw him perform this album from a notebook first time trying songs live. It was fucking epic obviously. So many good bands back in the day we could just show up early or wait and hang with them. I miss those days.
RIP Bryan - this video contains one of my favorite live musical performances, like ever. came back to watch it again after hearing the news. you'll be missed dude! 😞😞
I saw Swans at The Corner Hotel in Richmond, Victoria, Australia in 2012 and the volume was like placing your head against a jet engine. I could feel the pulse of the bass in my chest.
I love covering this song on my 1987 Pearl Drum kit with Zildjian cymbals. Fun song to play, In addition, I love the drum fills & the way that Brian St. Pere uses his China cymbal on this song. This group rocks! I wish more people knew about them.
Love the extra lead licks he puts in this song (2:32). Wish he had em written when they recorded Astronaut. This is the prob the best live recording of this song...even tho the kick drum is too punchy.
I have never left a comment on RUclips before but I had to here. Definitely similar to Sunny Day Real Estate, awesome song great band, this ones fun on the drums.
120 minutes was my favorite show on the planet from jr high. Hell, even younger than that lol. I have found a list of almost every video that was on that show. I would have to hunt the site link down, but yeah. This brings back memories.
Yeah it’s wild how much MTV has fallen. I don’t think they even do any programming anymore outside of Ridiculousness. Pretty sure that’s their only show.
Erik Muniz i’m doing everything i can to bring this back because this is what the world needs right now than the pop music that’s taking over right now
Holy crap. I am on an adventure back to Jr High days and late Sunday nights/ Monday mornings watching this show. School was always such a blast on Mondays hahaha. Worth it. This show gave me my love for 90% of what I STILL jam on. Music just isn't the same. Call me old. I'll be 37 in January lol. Memories.....
They're all so good at what they do. Bryan St. Pere is one of the finest drummers I've heard in rock, and Tim Lash is fucking amazing on the guitar. Lovely band! The passage starting around 3:41 is TO DIE FOR....
@aceranger5 Yeah. They ran their guitar cable into a distortion/fuzz box, then into their amp that they had turned up to 11. The beauty of the 90's...heavy and simplistic distortion.
I miss the POWER of the 90's. The simple riffs without eye makeup and celebrity groupies. For fear of sounding like an old dude, most bands today are essentially sell outs that are pretentious and too concerned about their image.
Ethan Wagner my old band was that exactly. With the exception of our bass player, everything else was so shitty and fake. I could give a rats ass what I'm dressed in. It's about honesty and sincerity in your music. Most of the time, your attitude offstage reflects your attitude onstage.
Good 'ol drop D tuning will hit you heavy every time. Just look at the bands who use it proficiently. Hum, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine. The list goes on.
Bryan St. Pere was a friend of mine. I only found out about his passing last night. May he rest in peace, and God bless his family.
I still say they were a very underrated band in the mid 90s. and the album still holds up. damn i miss the 90s
Michael Frizzell you and me both
Michael Frizzell indeed
Michael Frizzell n
If you thought this album was good yo need to listen to their follow-up, Downward is Heavenward.
ruclips.net/video/xARKR6i-RHs/видео.html
They're back!
how in hell you have that ultra heavy guitar tone and manage to sound ethereal at the same time? this guys were genius.
That tone sounds like they had just rolled out of the studio before this performance! Shows how impeccable this band is!
Part of the ethereal sound is the soft vocals and very drony guitars
a little like Weezer, Helmet or Smashing pumpkins...^^
Copy cat of Smashing Pumpkins
*are
Hum released a new album, Inlet, in 2020 & its excellent.
"Chevelle stole that riff from Deftones"
Hum back in 95:
Adrenaline was released in 1995, just sayin'
@@ChadB-r5c They're talking about the Be Quiet and Drive riff
The greatest song that nobody knows about! Damn shame too!
Brian Ewing thats the cool thing about it..
I honestly didn't know this song except for listening to Evergreen Terrace - Writers Block back in 2004 or whenever and both kick ass.
The rock you're living under called.....
O we know about it
If you were a teenager in the 90s you knew this song very well!! I remember when this song was big! I even saw them live at one of the old HFStivals!!
The lead singer of this band, Matt Talbott, is my professor at Millikin University. BEST EVER!
How was he as a professor?
I still remember when I was first saw these guys I was like "who are these nerds?", "are going to play soft music? I think I am in the wrong place"....then *BAM*......whoa, HEAVY sound.
Probably one of the most underrated songs of the 1990's.
Smashing Pumpkins wished they wrote a song like this.
Dude smashing pumpkins wrote circles around these guys. Lol the smashing pumkins. These guys would kill for 5 minutes of their limelight.
Smashing pumpkins made multiple hits that sounded not too far off this lol. Smashing Pumpkins did leaps and bounds more for alternative, goth, shoegaze, whatever the fuck you wanna call them than these garage rock one hit wonders.
@@mattcunningham9235they still have never sounded this hard
Ever listen to Mayonnaise by the Pumpkins? Not the same but has that huge fat guitar sounds it's brilliant
This song sounds effortless. And it chugs harder than a mf'er. Pumpkins had a tendency to be a little precious, a bit try hard.
hard to believe mtv ever broadcast anything as cool as this perf
Even back then this wasn't shown during regular hours. If I remember correctly it came on once a week on a Sunday night at midnight.
Miller Thyme Yeah it was a late night weekend type show just like Alternative Nation. I always stayed up late to watch this stuff as a kid. My parents hated it, but of course back in the 90's MTV was hated by a lot of parents lol. It should be more hated now I think than what I got back then.
hard to believe right? now mtv got all this teen mom, 16 and pregnant and catfish. what a shame!!!
120 minutes was everything from 1995-1999
I heard this song a very long time ago, and I really liked it, but I did not even know the artist. And now more than two decades have passed, and yesterday, quite by accident, I turned on this clip and recognized it, and I was as happy as if I had found a music brilliant that I had lost for a long time.
Heavenly droning, endless feedback, pummeling drums and bass= the almighty Hum
I miss 120 minutes, I miss HUM, I miss the '90's. I just about fucking cried listening to this, so many memories, good and bad, shooting through my head. Easier times back then.
Saw these guys so many times front row in Illinois. I saw him perform this album from a notebook first time trying songs live. It was fucking epic obviously. So many good bands back in the day we could just show up early or wait and hang with them. I miss those days.
Guitarist is killing it!!!! Drummer's heavy, too!
RIP Bryan - this video contains one of my favorite live musical performances, like ever. came back to watch it again after hearing the news. you'll be missed dude! 😞😞
Oh, the nineties.. Such good bands and so underrated music. How I miss this music on the radio.
+MauryFF i just heard about this song they played on the radio last week
Loudest live band ever... I went to one of their shows, and earplugs were handed out to anyone that wanted a pair. Only time I've ever witnessed that.
WarmothGuitarist lightweight
I saw them and I had to actively move away from the stage because the sheer volume was a whole other kind of ridiculous
I thought MBV is loudest
I think that's awesome.
I saw Swans at The Corner Hotel in Richmond, Victoria, Australia in 2012 and the volume was like placing your head against a jet engine. I could feel the pulse of the bass in my chest.
Love watching the drummer beat the living hell out of the drums, he's a beast!
How does this not have millions of views?
it will one day. 100%
Dec 2019..and I'm still nodding my head like I'm back in HS (95).Such a great tune!
I love covering this song on my 1987 Pearl Drum kit with Zildjian cymbals. Fun song to play, In addition, I love the drum fills & the way that Brian St. Pere uses his China cymbal on this song. This group rocks! I wish more people knew about them.
This is my favorite alternative/grunge song from the 90's. It's a Fucking Masterpiece !
Love the extra lead licks he puts in this song (2:32). Wish he had em written when they recorded Astronaut. This is the prob the best live recording of this song...even tho the kick drum is too punchy.
If Smashing Pumpkins and Sunny Day Real Estate had a love child.
Cassidy Robinson word!
Or early Weezer
Cassidy Robinson I don't think so, they sound nothing like smashing pumpkins.
@@wakeinjunenrico Dude weezer and hum should do a tour that would be awesome
I have never left a comment on RUclips before but I had to here. Definitely similar to Sunny Day Real Estate, awesome song great band, this ones fun on the drums.
"What's your favorite song?" is a tough question to answer, but I can confidently answer with this song every time.
Back when Mtv was actually cool
Hell yea! 120 mins with Matt Penfield! I would look forward to this!
Chris Sullivan I loved 120 mins, one of best shows back when mtv played music
120 minutes was my favorite show on the planet from jr high. Hell, even younger than that lol. I have found a list of almost every video that was on that show. I would have to hunt the site link down, but yeah. This brings back memories.
Yeah it’s wild how much MTV has fallen. I don’t think they even do any programming anymore outside of Ridiculousness. Pretty sure that’s their only show.
Man how i miss this days, bands like this never be reborn, the good days of distortion and loudness.
Erik Muniz i’m doing everything i can to bring this back because this is what the world needs right now than the pop music that’s taking over right now
Erik Muniz listen to Narrow Head
Drumming is absolutely amazing! RIP
This is insanely good.
god, i remember hearing this for the first timne on the radio about to fall asleep. woke my ass up lol. great song
The riff after the lyric "she always waits for me" is one of the best ever. Hands down.
HEAVIEST EVER...I'm still alive...
The attack on the snare in this version and the extra guitar licks. Like a hidden bonus track! Thanks for posting!
2020 and wearing the 👑.
Lovin' the closely placed cymbals attack there 💪
Holy crap. I am on an adventure back to Jr High days and late Sunday nights/ Monday mornings watching this show. School was always such a blast on Mondays hahaha. Worth it. This show gave me my love for 90% of what I STILL jam on. Music just isn't the same. Call me old. I'll be 37 in January lol. Memories.....
today i discover this band (i born in 98) an i think 90 was a great time for music, the legacy is forever. great performance!
Love me some Humm, good ol napster back in the day helped me listen to more of there album.
Always loved this song
I MISS MUSIC LIKE THIS !
It's bands like these, Helmet, Far, Deftones and others that fill in that nice area inbetween metal and punk
Good lord, yes. Far is soooo under-rated. Check out Quicksand for fun.
I can never forgive the Deftones for covering a Jawbox song, terribly
They're all so good at what they do. Bryan St. Pere
is one of the finest drummers I've heard in rock, and Tim Lash is fucking amazing on the guitar. Lovely band! The passage starting around 3:41 is TO DIE FOR....
always loved that cymbal catch at 3:52
As great as it was the first time I heard it live on 120 minutes. Wow that was 20 years ago and M TV stilled played music then. Pure sonic pleasure.
Damn what a drummer
THAT KICK DRUM IS PUNCHY AS HELL
dropkickproductiontx Pretty painful to hear live too. Champaign, IL, 1996, in a small venue. Awesome. Loudest band Ive ever seen.
Nelroy the blind pig was a blast when hum was playing!
dropkickproductiontx
Saw them at the Pig a couple of times. Never a disappointment.
First time I saw these guys. Bought the cd the very next day. I wanna go back!!
I havent heard this song in years used to listen to this album day and night on of my fav from back in the day
love the sound, love the outfit, ooohh what memories.....
Nothing like dialing in a chunky clean tone for your axe & then switching on the overdrive. WHOA!!!
I think of this riff almost every time I pick up a guitar, such an impact on me as a musician!
I bought this on cassette back in middle school, it one of the first pieces of "good" music I ever owned.
Was 15 at the time. Loved this song!!
I was 14, growing up in the South Bay , California
you guys are so right i seen them live and what i Loved about them was their sonic boom distortion they were so loud like MY BLOODY VALENTINE LOUD!!!!
To quote Howard Stern…”These guys are mental”! Check out this song on his show back in 95!
@aceranger5 Yeah. They ran their guitar cable into a distortion/fuzz box, then into their amp that they had turned up to 11. The beauty of the 90's...heavy and simplistic distortion.
I miss these guys a ton.
The drummer is trying to kill his drums!
+DuckOfDeath1332 That's how they were meant to be played
One of the best bands ever that no one has heard of. love them!!
thank you uploader! i remember watching this so long ago! 💜
This video rocks my fro
I was lucky to catch them in Goleta at the old Living Room. Not many people there for some reason. Super heavy live with that orange amplification.
Love this band. They should have gotten more credit then what they did. They are so awesome!
I'd give anything to go back to this era.
A wall of sound that just beats your ass into next week. Absolutely incredible... and hey.. itsn't that Jarvis Cocker? ;)
So amazing.Great album
HUM!!!! Another hidden gem!!!!
I didn't know them, made my day
that hiss, love it
I need to thank my old friend for introducing me to Hum what now a long time ago. Hum and Jawbox..
WHY IS THIS NEVER LOUD ENOUGH!!! 🔊😍🤘😍🕪
i still have the Grammy CD with this on for best new alternative or whatever it was. That disc is super rare
Oh how I miss great music like this and 120 Minutes.
rest in peace bryan, love this version so damn much, the bass tone is so much angrier here.
Thanks Shawn!!!!
such energy... so effortlessly... O_O it's beautiful
This year they played on Conan and John Stewart shows this was by far the best performance
Wow. This takes me back to 8th or 9th grade. I miss early-mid 90s music and fashion.
Love this song, this band.
that guitar solo is simple but amazing!!!
Awesome is the word I would use.
I miss the POWER of the 90's. The simple riffs without eye makeup and celebrity groupies. For fear of sounding like an old dude, most bands today are essentially sell outs that are pretentious and too concerned about their image.
Ethan Wagner my old band was that exactly. With the exception of our bass player, everything else was so shitty and fake. I could give a rats ass what I'm dressed in. It's about honesty and sincerity in your music. Most of the time, your attitude offstage reflects your attitude onstage.
Did you miss the 80s?
You need to get out.
Loved the 90s real ness
There are a lot of really good underground bands out there bro
LOVED this song when it was considered pertinent by the media. BTW- still awesome!
Tight Loud and Beautiful!
stayed up late as a teen watching stuff like this. 90s is the last decade with cool shit. the world is very homogenized..
never noticed how tim lash made his strat almost into a gibson
the tune-o-matic bridge lets you do behind-the-bridge harmonic shit.. kurt cobain fancied that as well
Oh i didnt know that
The Bandersnatch not exactly. not enough string back there.
i remember hearing them play this live on the stern show back in 95. fucking awesome band.
This is so f...ing awesum. Most underayed band of the 90s
For me its very similar to "Cherub Rock' by Smashing Pumpkins. I remember these guys. Great song.
I love the HUM.
Memories! ☺
THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND EVER.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that fucking ascending solo gets me every god damned time...
For 5 minutes I was in aural heaven...
This song still gives me chills now
Good 'ol drop D tuning will hit you heavy every time. Just look at the bands who use it proficiently. Hum, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine. The list goes on.
Still listening 2018
If Deftones, Smashing Pumpkins, Sunny Day Real Estate, and maybe (early) Weezer had a baby it's Hum
How could all those bands have a baby?
@@JulezWinnfield wym
@@judeodom2428
🤔?
@@JulezWinnfield ok boomer lol
@@JulezWinnfield he's got a point tho... HUM is HUM not a baby from those bands
He is more talented than Cobain!! Hum baby!!!!!!!!!
Wow....that was intense!
Yippee! Touring this Aug/Sep!!!!
Such an underrated band!
