Curtis Matthew Kirkwood (born January 10, 1959) is an American musician, best known as the guitarist, singer and primary songwriter for alternative rock group Meat Puppets. 64 AÑOS.
Nick we had shitty dive bars where the best bands like the puppets would play. They would come talk to us before shows... now all those bars are gone and it’s just trendy shops... hopefully music will cycle back to the basics and dive bars will become relevant again
I still can't describe their music, only way I can describe it is like a rockabily garage rock style? idk meat puppets music is way out there, but out there to the point of really good, because they have a handful of good songs and albums with different styles ranging from punk rock, hard rock, country rock.
Except they were an 80's band really. This song fought George Michael in the charts. LOL. I personally thin the bad folks go to Club Tropicana when they die though.
Seeing the Meat Puppets with Black Flag back in the '80's was so memorable and amazing. The Meat Puppets and the Minutemen had very unique sounds. This video rocks!
You’re right. He changes the vocal melodies a little bit and it makes the song less boring. Not saying meat puppets Are bad, just saying that their vocals Are a bit boring
+jeff wrench in unplugged nirvana u can see and hear they are better than Cobain in everything in those 3 songs one problem they can't sing good but other they did best in the world Cobain low then they are and admit this by using they great lyrics and music in the greatest his unplugged in New York
I had never heard of meat puppets until a comment on one of the tracks said it was meat puppets... their versions are by far the best :D much love. I love Oh, me :)
Ok so I came here from nirvana unplugged expecting more or less the same as what they played and I’ve gotta say the second they started it blew me away, fuckin incredible
@@mikehahaha2962 that's fair enough, after all everyone has their own opinion, with my other comment it's just some people really bash them for no reason
@@kurtpountney5747 but based on the singing on their second lp i was expecting raw punk energy in vocals and i have not heard it, i think the fact that there is two singer is a reason why its like that
I dont know why, this or the nirvana version, im obsessed with it since like, 15 years, since i know it. Theres something so deep and heartbreaking and powerful. So special to me
Great performance, kudos to drummer, he kicked ass! These guys were always torn between simple and complex, duality. But that's what makes them great! Creativity at its best, at a kick ass level!
two silver spoon brothers and a piece of incredible music that changed an unknown scenario. Only true music lovers know! Unchartered territories raked up by Cobain and buried back to the heathens!.
@@elicarter1356 no i dont support the murder of Kurt Cobain the word needs to get out luckily im here i name names in my description and links for any-one to follow. So no you ' go tf ' away now and research for yourself; if not keep your mouth shut cause you support liars and murderers
I saw Curt Kirkwood with Eyes Adrift in 2002 and twice with Meat Puppets another 10 years after that. Brilliant fucking musician who can shred with the best of ‘em.
I saw them open for the Henry Rollins lead Black Flag at an all ages show at a bar in Minneapolis around January of 1984 and left convinced they were the better band. That has held up over time as I still love listening to the Meat Puppets and seldom listen to Flag. I’ve seen them multiple times since and always enjoyed the show.
black flag in my opinion is severely overrated. they get attention because helped define the sound of punk and inspired BETTER bands. but wow they f0king suck! It's punk, so cant complain too much thats part of it i guess hahaha. cool u saw em tho man
I wish MTV would just unleash the vaults and release all the recordings of these old shows. Just about all of them were awesome. They should do something similar to the WWE Network where they stream the old shows. They came out with a channel called "MTV Classics" which I thought would be something that but it isn't.
it was really VH1 classics (a good channel) till mtv took over and turned it into shit and phased out everyone else who worked on that channel. mtv is evil.
I met both the brothers back in February 1989 at that infamous Butthole Surfers show in Phoenix when the power went out during a thunderstorm so Gibby started playing with magician's flashpaper making cool fire in the pitch darkness. What a great night.
Caught their show in someone's living room near UC Davis in 1985 or so. It rocked. Pretty sure it did anyway. The 80s are kinda blurry. I do recall some dude puking in the pool. Coulda' been me. Glad to see they're still too high to die.

Crazy Neil Young vibes here! Love Meat Puppets II album. Jon Stewart was a bouncer/doorman one upon a time at a club that American hardcore and indie bands used to play at so he's got good taste in music.
True, but if the band is appearing on something like the Jon Stewart Show they want to promote their current stuff. Having Jon introduce it as a song that came out on a 10 year old record, likely on vinyl you can't find, because in '84 vinyl was still a pretty dominant seller but by the late 80's-early 90's distributors were pushing CD's and making vinyl too expensive to stock. The appearance wouldn't do the band a whole lot of good.
The Kirkwood’s emerged from the Arizonan swimming holes dripping the fire of musical genius ; guitars melting beneath their fingers at 120 degrees ... then bursting into flame.
Rawdiswar :Seting ablaze post modern alarm clock hearts ; cash registers popping buttons like ample breasts ... this was the age of clones not drones .... at least the suicide king had the class to admit his crime of passion ... The Courtesan lapping up his blood the way the dogs lapped up hers’ from the stones so long ago ... but here and now The Progenitors still stand as they were : Bodies awkward and clumsy ... fingers deftly strumming the vertebrae of the human soul ; unhooking its brassier ,and taking it all the way ... such Chiropractic ability has not been seen since the days of The Apostles .
Rawdiswar :I just love the meat puppets and they bring out My inner Rolling Stone music critic . Rob Sheffield is good ... but if He ever retires :I would like to get a shot at His job.
Meat Puppets sold out in the 90s. They started chasing sales and streamlined their sound which removed the quirkiness and inventiveness that first got them recognition. Ironic really.
Yeah, he made this song more philosophical and fundamental, not so fun but with a lot of meaning. When he covered songs he made them his own, as if they had a double bottom.
They played on same bill as Low, in Duluth MN, same town where the lady was bitten by the dog with the rabid tooth. There may be rabid toothed dogs, and ladies in Duluth GA too.
For anyone wondering, they played it a bit faster than the original. Most musicians get excited when live, and play faster than the usual. Thats why these days we use earbud monitors with something called a “Click Track” basically a metronome that keeps us all in time with the recorded songs original BPM. But it was nice back then to have a live version that was so much different than the recorded one. Thats why some bands still dont use click tracks.
Nah, they just play some songs faster live almost sounding like a different song, bands like Butthole Surfers do this, gives the song a different mood and energy from studio version.
This version rocks. Dig the slide. I usually like original band lineups best, but the 2nd guitarist helps round out the sound and give them more power. When JS said "from the album too Tough Too Die" , I was like wtf? I guess it was a hidden track.
I agree, insanely good. I from Canterbury U.K. my virtual friend...on the same music journey as your good self. total respect p.s. and I am 57 years young
Which I STRONGLY prefer. Meat Puppets have some great songs but their vocalist destroys them. I didn't realize how good they could sound until I heard the Nirvana 'cover' on their MTV Unplagged set. I love Lake of Fire and Plateau. On both, the Meat Puppets sing and play the song WAY too fast in their original/live versions. Nirvana slowed it down and gave both songs SOOO MUCH FEELING!
@@kevinm8865 its meat puppets, Not I WANNA MAKE MONEY AND DO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE PREFER aka nirvana fans. Real meat Puppets dont really mind about good vocals, the unique style is the good thing about this band
@@void0094 Understandable ... To your point, I believe what you say about the meat puppets is the reason I have never seen a Meat Puppets shirt or anything. I never heard of them until Nirvana brought them on stage. Having talent liked by many does not make you less talented. Don't try to take credit from Nirvana because "the brothers meat" are a relatively obscure band. I didn't say they were a bad group. I like their music and arrangements but do feel they mess up their songs with how they perform them.
@@kevinm8865 yea, sometimes I can understand why they are not popular. But there are some people out there that like their style. Do you have an example for a song, that they mess up live?
I had to double check to see if Lake of Fire is on Top High to Die cuz I knew that song was originally on Meat Puppets 2 from like 1985. Too High to Die is from 1994 but Lake of Fire is apparently a hidden track on that album
Ok you guys!! I REALLY, REALLY liked it! I fell in love with this song when Kurt did it on UNPLUGGED. I'd never heard it before and it was immediate love! You do it very well, with good intensity. I sing this song too, and it's not that easy to sing, especially the real raspy part. My voice is naturally raspy. I have won many an open mike nite singing Janis Joplin, so you know I'm not lying. To sing those raspy, throaty parts in that high octave isnt so easy, but you do it very well. Kudos! And I really liked your band too. They definitely nailed the sound. Super COOL!!! I also added your video to my personal playlist, right after Kurt's version. You guys rocked it!!
I've been a huge Nirvana fan as long as I can remember so I came check out a few meat puppets videos to get an idea of why Kurt was such a big fan of them. My opinion on the Brother's Meat: I think they absolutely rock instrumental wise, and lyrically, but I'm not a big fan of them as vocalist. If they would've hired a vocalist they would've blew up I think! Bigger than what they were... But Kurt may have loved their singing, who knows lol, it's a matter of his own opinion if he did.
I can see why kurt cobain loved these guys so much and you can tell they influenced a lot of Kurt's songs. But I would still much rather hear Kurt's version and angelic voice on their songs. Man he was amazing! How truly great he was!
Al Lagoon its more of a combination of both, cus the newer version is faster acoustic and has two vocalist while the older version is electric slower and one vocalist
@@BootsORiley yes there is a version on THTD , as a hidden track. and this is basically that version, not the II one. nearly everyone in these comments is making incorrect claims, smh

I started listening to them in the 90's and would have never heard them if Nirvana didn't cover this song that is insane
Nirvana lead me to check out The Pixies, Leadbelly, Meat Puppets, The Vaselines, I even got a Raincoats CD because of Kurt's liner notes. :)
Backwater was pretty big. You probably heard it on MTV quite a bit.

Same here! I'm 39!!
I'm 26 now and been listening to them my whole life one of my favorite bands
Its saddening how underrated this genius band is...

I read that Kurt Cobain wrote this song as an outcry for help before he made the decision to end it. Hearing the lyrics, it makes a lot of sense now.
I assume you meant covered, not wrote. Kurt Cobain didn't write this song he just did a great cover of it for MTV
Is this a sarcastic comment? I honestly cant tell
Well it would if he actually wrote the song
Amazing meat puppet
jammin' in my jammies!
This version will always be superior because it is how it is supposed to sound
Alicia Silverstone was the guest?

That fucking guitar tone rules and is so dirty and fuzzed out. Love it.
En el Unplugged de Nirvana con Kurt la inmortalizaron. 😋
I misheard the lyrics as Bitten by a dog with a rabbit tooth. Well I was 12 and swedish at the time so I guess that's ok.
I've been a huge Nirvana fan as long as I can remember so I came check out a few meat puppets videos to get an idea of why Kurt was such a big fan of them.
My opinion on the Brother's Meat: I think they absolutely rock instrumental wise, and lyrically, but I'm not a big fan of them as vocalist. If they would've hired a vocalist they would've blew up I think! Bigger than what they were... But Kurt may have loved their singing, who knows lol, it's a matter of his own opinion if he did.
2025 😊 y sigo disfrutando esta canción saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
I can see why kurt cobain loved these guys so much and you can tell they influenced a lot of Kurt's songs. But I would still much rather hear Kurt's version and angelic voice on their songs. Man he was amazing! How truly great he was!
Cuz having a melodic voice wasn't a part of the indie hardcore punk scene in the 80s
Superb handle
drumer plays on his own way...

Yeaaahhhh!!!! 90s here we go!
La mejor versión de lake of fire, nisiquiera la de estudio supera este live.
Sick
This is actually the version from Meat Puppets II.
Al Lagoon its more of a combination of both, cus the newer version is faster acoustic and has two vocalist while the older version is electric slower and one vocalist
yeah but a bit more upbeat than that version, the one on meat puppets II is electric but takes it's time a little bit which i like.
this implies that there is a version on Too High To Die. Lake of Fire is not on that album
@@BootsORiley yes there is a version on THTD , as a hidden track. and this is basically that version, not the II one. nearly everyone in these comments is making incorrect claims, smh
Boots O'Riley it is.... it’s a bonus track after a few minutes of silence after that last listed track 😁
that's awesome!
