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

@schwarzblatt Жыл бұрын

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.

@Gerardlydon Жыл бұрын

He is undoubtedly underrated although him being off beat alot and being sporadic and crazy he was in a way alot like kurt cobain ,kurt not knowing theory still made him a great songwriter n guitarist same with colm

Interesting how Kevin Shields didn't have that many pedals to create a wall of sound.

@namebrandmason Жыл бұрын

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.

@david-wall Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

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 Жыл бұрын

@@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).

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.

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.
