I like this song a lot, it highlights the chaotic ups and downs you feel when you're trying relentlessly to quit. One minute you're feeling amazing for being a mere week sober, the next you're zooted out of your mind and you feel like all your efforts are for nothing, and then 3 hours later you're sober and you have to tell yourself that's an accomplishment so you can have the strength to push further.
Damn that sound engineer is a genius. This mix is unreal. So is the band but most people dont understand how hard it is to mix something recorded in the same room like this. Everything bleeds into all the mics and so on...
IRT. I hear jazz, cowpunk, The Cramps, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Devo, Johnny Cash, and Social Distortion all at once. Freaking Hockert is incapable of making a bassline that doesn't slap.
@@martinfrancis3733 Tom waits got drunk as hell and scrawled this onto a bar napkin. It then blew away and landed in a puddle. Eventually it dissolved and the viagra boys all tied off and shot the water into their veins.
His voice is so damn good. It's full of phlegm, grit and grime and also leveled and accurate with tiny little nuances of insanity that land so fucking well.
@@baalzagoroth4693 I haven't. It's something I still struggle with every day. I just keep fighting and being honest with myself and others along the way.

Good luck!!! every time you have a cool idea like these guys have, everyone will think it's bad or "sloppy" because they're scared. Then they go make shitty basic shit that sounds like a a record company wrote it, and everyone praises them for making the same recycled shit everyone else keeps making, and you're alone with your creativity watching everyone else get what you deserve.
Sitting in the smokeroom at rehab in Germany ! 8 days clean from opi.. ! I show this clip yesterday in our music therapy hour. The woman (therapist) and whole round of users wereeee FUCKING HEADBANGING AND ALLL FEEL IT SOOO HARD..! WE WISH THE BAND ONLY HEALTH AND I COME TO THE GERMANY TOUR 2022 ! BOUGHT THE TICKETS WEEKS AGO ! CANT WAIT TO GET *HIGH* AGAIN ;) ! One fuckin love from *Neuss Alexius Rehab Stations* ! I make music too when I'm clean ; * das C - bis Gott vom Himmel fällt * that's me when i was clean ! fuck
guys this is the first time in almost 5 fucking years I am not homeless anymore. I am spending the first night in a place that is mine that has my name on a piece of paper. This is the first song I played in this space. I was beat up, sexually assaulted, overdosed, watched people die in front of me and had to hold back my tears, spent so many nights feeling the cold cement enter my bones as I gripped the last thing that wasn't stolen from me (usually a cell phone and some headphones), and lost too many good people along the way who never made it back inside. Good people. Smart people. People who make you better for knowing them. And while the irony of this song isn't lost on me. Right now I feel it so fucking hard that I hope everyone overcomes whatever it is that ailed you. There is no good reason to ever give up if you want to keep living. That's a hell of a lesson to learn.
You need to see the rest of their stuff!!!! Best stuff I've heard and seen in the last 20yrs. And I'm 59.... I'd given up on new music ever being good again

@@mds1986ms being a robot feels better than pure misery. I'm working on the shit I've gotta work on and I'm staying sober but jesus fuck am I in pain lol
@@enochbird3862 Yeah no in just giving you a hard time. Drugs... theres a very fine line between you doing drugs and the drugs doing you. Im not going to honestly knock anyone for any path they choose certainly not for trying to steady their stance. Kickin dope is a cake walk tho. I was pretty bad off on jwh-18. Christ we were getting QPs of straight jwh-18 from china and loading our own spice. My boy and i were to the point that nobody else could smoke with us because it was so strong. Well the come down from that lasted 2 months and i felt like a hovering pair of eyeballs that kinda had control over a pair of hands, its was more like i could make suggestions as to what they should do and now and then they'd get it together. I couldn't tell the difference between being awake and sleeping, the dreams were so vivid you felt more normal in your dreams than you did when you were awake. Matter of fact it pops in my head now and then that i may still be sleeping and this is all just part of ine of thise shitty dreams. I couldnt tell the difference between a dead stop or going around a turn in a car, no sensation of motion at all not even when trying to walk. I had to keep telling him and my now wife that eventually we'd all be ok and to not freak out, if i can do it you can too. All the while inside i had no idea if we'd be ok or not and was completely panicking because each that past i became more and more certain that we'd all be that way forever. And one day i noticed i felt strange but then i remembered thats what normal felt like. I remember i hopped out of bed and grab one if my yoyos and banged out a trick that i couldn't manage a day or 2 prior. I guess my point is one day at a time, just keep telling everyone you got this and even tho youre freaking out inside just trust that if you keep going itll be ok soon. So theres one of my stories. Hope you all enjoy that cautionary tale.
@@mds1986ms Research chems were the hardest thing i ever quit, i was quite literally psychotic after quitting. I was using a wide range of jwh as well as 5-me0 and all the others that were around 10 years ago. Ended up assaulting someone while in a daze and did small time in the clink.

My favorite Christian ✝️ music
Beautiful

Haven't heard a band this janky and put-together, this chaotic and harmonious,
gritty and loving
Discovering the viagra boys is a fucking experience.
Is hard to decide which song from this Shrimp Sessions is my favorite. Every single one is a killer.
Mantis shrimp 🤓
I ain't nice! for me, definitely. They're amazing live, I didn't realize it was Live until I looked at the title when I was shuffling Spotify 😅
Is it just me or would this band fit perfectly at a cantina from star wars?
If this isn't a Tom Waits cover, Tom Waits should cover it.
Actually, Tom Waits wrote it - but he has, absolutely, no idea that he did!

a vibe between tom waits and iggy pop's "nightclubbing"
