Craig Nicholls, underrated songwriter and performer. He didn't want to make this vid, didn't want to tour, but they ended up touring *heavily* after being hailed as the saviours of Rock out of nowhere, endless interviews and pages about Nicholls. I can see why. What a pure, fascinating person! Most of the time shy and lovely. Violent moments were due to horrendous stress imo. I have no clue how he made it through since such a life is poison when you deal with Asperger's. He lives very reclusive these days, without modern technology, but still making music.
Got to see em live in Newcastle supporting Powderfinger on their final tour. Craig made it thru the set without melting down. That in itself was amazing.
Highly Evolved and Vision Valley are two albums you can put on and just let play. Few bands manage one album like that. Folks are sleeping on The Vines.
Lead singer had some.... "issues" to put it mildly. He was diagnosed with Asperger's... and was prone to violent episodes. One resulting in an assault on his parents and an injured cop.

Ive loved this song since i was 14 !! Nice to see ppl reacting to it after so long
You heard of wolfmother in USA ?

This song made me so excited for this band. Got their debut album. Uneven but enjoyable listen with some highlights. And then.. they did nothing. lol

@@firecrakka so you sum up this talented kind guy like that. Very nice.
@@user-bj2lu9qt3o merely noting why they didn't go on to greater things. Take it how you like. 🤷♂️
Shame the lead singer was an absolute nutcase that ruined half their live performances! They could have been huge!
It’s true. Sad, really. Apparently he’s on meds and has cleaned his act up now
Dont forget Jet also around same time
Both Australian too!
Ride or Outtatheway are sweet tunes from the vines also
Next The vines - ride
Son of francis Ford copola . Best video ever . Best band
There is a lot of nirvana about them
This is mild for Craig....you better bold your equipment down
Please react to 28 days "rip it up" or "what's the deal" another fun band
Once again grinspoon!!!!
Yes it is unfortunate they couldn’t keep going.
They did keep going lol
What a beautiful woman.
