  • Walk all over me
    Even though you can't decide
    Look out, child bride
    You'll be on your own
    Hillside, slip and slide
    Feel the pain, it's no surprise
    Look out, look out
    Thorn won't be your love
    I felt your hair across my skin
    I didn't know where to begin
    A shallow promise in my ear
    No thoughts, no dreams, no wishes, and no fear
    The rose is dead, your face serene
    No memories of things that once did seem
    To be to me important, too
    You give me flowers but it's thorns I give to you
    Walk all over me
    Even though you can't decide
    Look out, child bride
    You'll be on your own
    Hillside, slip and slide
    Feel the pain, it's no surprise
    Look out, look out
    Thorn won't be your love
    The rose is dead, your face serene
    No memories of things that once did seem
    To be to me important, too
    You give me flowers but it's thorns I give to you
    Walk all over me
    Even though you can't decide
    Look out, child bride
    You'll be on your own
    Hillside, slip and slide
    Feel the pain, it's no surprise
    Look out, look out
    Thorn won't be your love

      I saw mbv about 13 years ago and Colm’s drumming was incredible. He was very nimble and skittery back in the early years. His style gotten a little sparser and more solid with time. Undoubtedly underrated.

    Colm is just my favourite drummer of all times(with Young Gods first drummer).. he has awesome skills, bringing drums in MBV one step beyond. If he left MBV no one can replace him.. He is part of the sound of MBV as much as, or even much, as the guitars..

    • @namebrandmason
      @namebrandmason Год назад +28

      His fx are basically stage props. During the Loveless era he used like 8-9 pedals total, with some of those being duplicates for different songs. The main effect is the reverse reverb from an old Yamaha rack mixed with his whammy bar use.

    @SlinkiestTortoise23 Год назад +12

    Colm is such a great drummer and Is integral to MBV’s sound! His fills are so fluid and they are almost not fills in a way, in that they are components of his drum beats. I know they are a cult band but I think he gets overlooked as a drummer as he was very original in his approach. MBV’s material wouldn’t have sounded the same without him behind the kit and that’s something difficult to achieve as a drummer. It’s got the energy of punk rock drumming in the frantic aspect but it’s so tight and measured. Punk rock drumming is very rarely if ever in the pocket like Colm plays. One of my favourite bands and every single member managed to add something that stands up in its own right and it wasn’t just Kevin’s vision with musicians playing along, they all played a vital part. I saw them live at the Roundhouse after their long hiatus and it was the loudest gig I have ever been to! They really did do their own thing and created their own sound, again, something very difficult to achieve.

    Incredible! Interesting to see that Kevin doesn’t actually have very many pedals on stage, the sound is more tonal/whammy bar based. Also Miki in the audience! I wonder if Lush were also on the bill, she has the slightly stressed look I usually have before I have to play but I’m trying to enjoy my friends band haha!! 😅

    • @david-wall
      @david-wall Год назад

      If Lush did exist in 1988 I would guess they would be supporting MBV, not the other way round. More likely was on the razz the night before and had the next-day booze heebie-jeebies, or was just coming up on some acid

    • @stephanedegremont4961
      @stephanedegremont4961 Год назад +2

      From Miki's book it appears that in oct 88 Lush were looking for a lead singer after parting with Meriel so I doubt they were playing at this one. She also mentions Emma dating Kevin Shields for some time prior to that date.

    • @Hastur876
      @Hastur876 Год назад +2

      @@stephanedegremont4961 Yes, Emma dated Kev thru 1987. Lush had also opened for MBV in June at the Fulham Greyhound, and Chris had to borrow Colm's kit for a show at the Falcon 2 days before this (which was their first show playing again after a 3 month break when Meriel got booted).

    • @Hastur876

      Blue & black one is most likely a line selector, it looks like it's feeding 2 different chains. You use it so you don't have to punch 3 pedals at once to change your sound.
