Absolutely bro. In My top 5 bands of all times. Not just because of their music, but because of where i was at in my life at the time, And what i was doing. Such killer fuckin songs. First time i heard "suzy" on the radio, i was an instant fan for life. Love em!!!!🤟🤟🍻
Songs like fields of rape are top notch songs ,where lyrically it's a different thing and the guitar instrumental works are also another. level. Plus the tone is so good. Yes,many others only know them for songs like - love is on the way / I love you etc. But they do not know much. Probably underrated so much. Yes,they are so much more.
My words exactly. There is NO other band that composes songs like this. Extremely original. Jason is a MASTER of riffs. One of my favorite bands, and I listen to a ton.
@@markbabin3753 Saigon Kick came before Jane's Addiction and the Seattle scene, genius. God, if you are going to speak, have an idea of what you are even talking about, sunshine. LOL You were that guy at the show in the bands tshirt, that knew 1 song and liked to shout the name of the band and give the metal sign with your fingers. LOL
@@camilomontoya7412 Rock disappeared from Miami over 15 years ago. WSHE changed formats in the late 90s. 94.9 Zeta changed in the mid 2000s. Big 106 is the only rock station in Miami. 98.7 Gator in West Palm Beach. Thats it. Really, that was probably just a sign to come with rock in general. And honestly, who listens to terrestrial radio anymore?
"Water". What an adventurous collage of sound. Showing off all sorts of styles. Kudos to the Kick for sporting this track. Keeping that signature heavy tribal sound that they were known for. A+
That guitar solo literally makes my mouth drop. I can't believe these guys weren't bigger. But they made a lot of good songs. And some songs were just not them.
Their albums had an equal mix of heavy rock and lighter alternative rock or ballads. This is probably their most experimental and least consistently 'heavy' album but still great
@@dkmcbigsley love is on the way is what made me avoid this album(I HATE that song. I was tired of those kind of ballads). Fast forward to 97 and a buddy of mine says that I have to listen to the rest of the Lizard album.... BOOM! I went and bought the debut and Water. They are weird in the way that I like.
The tone of the guitar + with that tone,, that guitar solo is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The riff is heavy with the drums pounding. And also the vocals Harmonizing, with the breakdowns, o my god, it's something so inexplicably good.
I forgot about these guys until I just heard Eddie Trunk mention them. I grew up in South Florida. "Love is on the Way" was on WSHE and MTV non-stop. Then their next hit single was "All I Want". It might have brought these guys some great success but it was kind of a curse because no one knew how much these guys rocked (at least I didn't). WSHE had program called "The Local Show" where they played South Florida bands. It wasn't until then that I heard some more of their more rocking tunes. Great band that unfortunately got forgotten.
In their prime in 1991-1992, my band opened for Saigon Kick to a full-capacity crowd at the Rockit Club in Tampa Florida two separate times. As a local bar-star and seasoned player eight or ten years older than these guys, I couldn't help but be amazed with the amount of command they had over the audiences at those two shows... It was both awe-inspiring and a little humbling knowing we'd never come close to reaching their (albeit fleeting) level of popularity. They effortlessly connected with any crowd they encountered, and rightly so because they rocked. All pretty nice guys...Tom was always the coolest, Matt was generally pleasant and polite, Phil wanted to shag our girlfriends, and Jason was a little to aloof and distracted to notice the relative strangers occupying the same space as him backstage. And now some thirty-plus years later, we all work at the same carwash... Their charisma level is still the same, but their energy output is lagging, especially on busy Saturday mornings...
My friends and I were really into this band. Beiler's riffs and tone were sick and the vocal harmonies were on par with Staley/ Cantrell. Anyway, I was the only one of the bunch who thought Water was as good as the Lizard. 27 years later I still think so.
+Jeremy JF Actually Marilyn Manson (Brian Warner) despises Saigon Kick. The boots that Matt is wearing on their first album cover were Marilyn Mansons. I grew up with all of these guys in the Fort Lauderdale area and was especially good friends with Phil Varone since middle school. I love both bands, but make no mistake, there is no love lost between them.
+John Kidwell ****Old Manson spent a shitload of time in our rehearsal room in the early days, before he was a singer, and definitely came out smelling a lot like early SK’s shows. Its funny, back in those days he would bring me all kinds of shirts and jackets and funky glasses to wear on stage, and if I wore them he would tell all of his friends, 'Look he’s wearing my shirt.' Pretty fucking cool looking back on it. I still have a raincoat that he talked about in his biography that he painted 'Jesus Saves' on the back. I bet I could get a fortune for that. Manson also painted the daisies on my obligatory combat boots I wore for a million shows. But in all honesty, he’s a brilliant cat and deserves all the credit for where he’s taken himself. Always a friend of mine." Matt Kramer carlbegai.com/2012/02/01/saigon-kick-lizards-and-lore/
+Jeremy JF Yeah, I remember those boots and he is brilliant, but unfortunately misunderstood. I was wondering what happened here with SK over the last couple of months as I follow Phil on FB and one minute you guys are putting some shows together, then the next he's announcing he's done with SK. I just find it such a shame, you guys were worthy of so much more as the talent was off the charts, no pun intended.
Matt and Jason are still at it... Phil seems more worried about himself instead of cementing those first 2 releases for all time- Varone keeps bailing on them... Talk to the Lizard on my arm Varone you know I am right.
Saigon and Jane's are 2 of the most talented bands of the last 4 decades and I'm they will never get the full credit they deserve for just how creative they were in their perspective genres.
They came out during a transitionary period, between metal and Grunge. They would have been really big if they came out a year or two later, or a couple of years prior. You can not deny their musical talent.
Crazy thing is they were a perfect blend of the old and the new. Closer to AIC than Poison and i think Love Is On The Way being huge came people the wrong impression of who they were.
Ahhhh, the flats in Cleveland, trying to catch a long haired dude twice my size when he jumped off stage. Everyone scattered but me, was sore for days.
Funny. This song is Jason Bieler singing. Matt Kramer wasn’t even in the band. Yet the footage has him in the majority of the video. Lol. Still one of my fav bands.
can someone tell me what song the video is for shown in this clip where they are outside? does anyone have a list of all their official videos?I still play the hell out of the first 3 cds
@@darahdoea1291 wow, thank you for that! I remember that video being played once in 93 in Russia on a national weekly TV program called Vinyl Jungles. Had to google "saigon kick mtvbase.com" because search doesn't seem working on the website itself but it's in decent quality there. Thanks again!
@@debbieathy5204 It's definitely worth it. Water is equally as good as The Lizard IMO. Love the first 3 albums, like the 4th, and still looking for the Bastards CD at a decent price. Have Jason's Houston We Have A Problem CD too, great stuff.
+John Smith obviously. Did you think they ACTUALLY wrote a song with the same title a decade earlier? No. They sent their original bass player into the future to gather information. That's the REAL reason he was fired. it was a cover up, because of the horrible injuries sustained in the time travel machine.
The guitar tone on this record is reallt good nice and thick and heavy
One of my favorite bands. So underrated. Everyone knew them for Love Is On The Way, but they were so much more.

I'd say they're far superior to Jane's Addiction though.
Actually, Saigon Kick had more influence of Alice In Chains
I would play the shit out of this song
ROCK ON!!

Do not all people know ablut this band. But, im love your song.

Incredibly interesting about Marilyn Manson. The history behind the bands and the legends.

This video shows Matt Kramer but this track did not feature Matt on vocals. If it did, this track would be even better.

The predate AIC but similar feel w hard rythums, Melodic vocal harmonies and brutal solos.
These solos are way better than AlC. To bad they never got big as AlC.
Are they still writing songs and making videos ?
Great stuff man
I had the tape the lizard and I don’t remember this song ? It’s very cool
its from the Water album
GutterWorx310 Zoose thank u I will definitely check out the rest of the album on you tube or maybe buy it in cd sometime

thats why the vocal sounds a lot like MM.....it figures!
it is fuckin metal, it is a fuckin roll, do this is fuckin rocknroll
the singers like what am I gonna do
Tenían inspiración.
I think everyone has gotten how Pete Dembrowski can shred a guitar!
I never heard them play a non ballad. Surprisingly more like Mother Love Bone than Poison or aka the 80’s crap they get lumped in with.

is that Jim Morrison reincarnated lol?
I don't know how the heck anyone can call them glam
I never consider this band a hairband like many people do they came out late 80s early 90s they had the look and sound of an alternative band
no mecy, burn it down (-;
This video makes no sense. It was at this point in time the Matt and Tom were no longer in the band.
