    A lot of people comment on which way musicians wear their headphones, but most musicians are more concerned with which side the cord is on rather than which is "left" and "right".

    Man, you'd see Murph in the streets somewhere and be like "Hey that's somebody's dad, or an accountant or something," not realizing that he's a powerhouse drummer from one of the most influential indie bands of all time. Man, that guy kicks all kinds of ass.

      AboveNine Everyone around SST in the mid-80’s were enamored by Dinosaur Jr. Even though Black Flag ended right before Dino made YLAOM, Henry was still on the scene. I’ve seen/heard quotes from various people who were involved with SST at the time who all said that Dino was blowing everyone’s minds at the time, especially since a lot of the SSTA people had become big time stoners so they loved their heavy, noisy, psychedelic aesthetic combined with great hooks. That’s why I love Dino Jr- I’ve always been drawn to the great bands who in some way combined catchy hooks with noise and dissonance. SSTA had some of the greatest bands ever who had that as a big part of their aesthetic, i.e. Huskers, Meat Puppets, Dino Jr, etc.

    Two comments:
    1. I saw the Dinosaur in Boston during the first tour of the reunited lineup. Loudest show I've EVER heard--20 feet from the stage, and my friend's long hair was actually blowing backward. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW LOUD IT WAS IN THIS STUDIO?!
    2. Murph visited my old band's rehearsal space just prior to said reunion tour (long-ish story) and I got to play "Little Fury Things" with him. Even on a beater drum kit, the guy sounded like John Bonham. Murph is rock's most underrated drummer!

    Hearing these songs again 30 years later immerses me in memories of college. Playing Music, painting outside on the porch, smoking Export A cigarettes, drinking Blue Heron Ale while doing some powerfully potent drugs with incredibly beautiful friends. All this while having exciting experiences and new fun sex with nearly every girl & guy😉 I could hold a smile with.. which was many. I find it hard to frame the levels of love I had for life back then...At 19 I gave life and everyone I knew in it my all,..I’m not always thankful I survived it,...the painful part of surviving intense years in life is looking back at all those I so deeply loved who didn’t survive.
    I try to live my life now in remembrance of theirs....in the hope that my doing so reflects the very best parts of the love they graced upon me.

      @kittylandy1 8 лет назад +2

      +Jeff Elliott The camera was just following its own cavalier path, no regard for the important aspects of the performance. There is no explaining such things. You can't really compare Bach to Rachmaninoff. Yes, they are both composers in the classical tradition. But Bach's music is unmistakable, even indelible; while Rachmaninoff skips around like a schizophrenic, all spontaneity, no recognizable, reusable theme. My point is that the camera person is probably a sheep following what he thought was some extended theme of the chaos of the early 90s. In trying to break new ground he just became super stupid. J Mascis rocks. You can only go so far with chaos and then it just becomes pitiful. Mascis took music of the time and put it out on the frontier, the maximum it could travel and still be relevant. The camera person was aping that instinct and came up an ape, over-extended, clumsy. Talentless-Rachmaninoff took his lens and f***ed up.

I'm from the UK and really need to visit Seattle. I've never posted anything negative on websites before. But I'm 58 and have been watching live bands since 1977. I've seen pretty much seen every band I've wanted to see (In the 70s and early 80s Black Sabbath and Rush used to play in 2,000 seaters in Manchester UK). I saw Dinosaur Jr at the End of the Road festival in 2013. I left the gig nearly in tears. I've never seen a band who gave the impression that thay really didn't want to be there and play. I'm sure it was a one off but I was really looking forward to seeing them.

    I saw D Jr in 1988 (I think) in Columbia, MO at the "old" Blue Note. This was a smallish place and I was standing against the stage about a foot away from J's feet. All I remember is that they rocked the fuck out of that place and they were indeed a very loud band. I'll bet the reason the Blue Note moved to a different location was because that show damaged the structural integrity of that old building.

He didn't open his mouth or extend a hand, just stared at me as if I was beneath him, without blinking. Dark, cold guy. Good guitarist.

      @@pineapplecircus thanks for explaining, Mark. I'm still a supporter of J and I just bought his new album last week. I've been a supporter of Amma, the Indian guru J and I follow, since the mid-1990's and I've been a listener of Dinosaur Jr. since 1990, so forgive me if I came off as too critical or harsh. It was just disappointing at the time to have liked J's music and what he's doing and to feel snubbed by him in person at a benefit for an Indian saint who espouses love and hugs and warmth. I wish meeting J had gone differently. I'm still committed to Amma's teachings, as J is, and I understand more from what you replied here, so thank you. I do continue to support J and Dinosaur and hope to catch him and Lou & Murph on tour at some point. Later this year hopefully... xo ❤

      @@greendragon9919 oh man thanks for that ,I feel bad for snapping more than explaining, personally I think it's possible Asperger Syndrome or "on the spectrum " stuff as they say but he seems as though he makes himself happy and ya know theres thoughts running around as fast as he shreds cuz most if his lyrics are pretty deep. Plus hea been playing it seems, since he could pick up a guitar and has a very super o.c.d. organized board and speaker set up that is set up exactly the same, always ,and it takes him awhile to get that all set up just so. For me I appreciate the quirks and oddities more, theres only very few songs that I actually love 1 is the ,u believe, 1st hit single from their 1st 7" , In Noho hes been playing with Eric Gaffney, plus all the local Northampton,Mass musicians ,some that didn't get famous but had played w him as teens ,1 in particular whose a bartender and successful in business but is one of the best instrumental jazz guitarists most antibes ever heard and funny as friends we both loathe 1 another's tastes musically lol but it seems he played w the best at guitar, growing up, in any style as long as they were considered a great player no matter the style which seems hes more comfy "communicating ' thru his instrument than with vocabulary and love or like or hate his talent theirs no denying ya know its him after 2-5 notes. And he loves purple ,has custom purple and silver to actually, hi tops
