      first of all, there is nothing "stripped down" about this performance. i mean the fuzz on the tele alone is pushing the PA to where you can barely hear Kay. sure there's a difference between a tape mix and a DAW mix in terms of how much layering can happen, but you strike me as the type that has at least 1 Queen record. 2nd Aurora Gory Alice barely snuck into the top 200, and the only single anyone cared about by this band (Here And Now) never made it into the top 50. the only reason it charted in the first place was cuz this single got licensed into film/TV soundtracks. 3rd: some raw ass fuzzy af loud rock n roll music still exists, your lazy boomer ass just isn't looking for it. and finally rock n roll is cultural appropriation of black music that existed in a segregated society. a complete anomaly of drugged out freaks, outcasts, weirdos, crazies, and losers....it should have NEVER been popular in the first place.

      @@thatfunkchick that's a PA problem, not a gender problem. i will say there is a gender problem in general when it comes to rock n roll music and alternative musics and cultures...but if you've ever been to a punk dive when a fuzzed out band like this rolls up, it doesn't matter the gender of the singer, you ain't hearing shit.

      It sounds like the left and right channels are out of phase and the vocals are out of phase and being cancelled like when you have your earbuds jack not quite plugged in all the way. And it emphasizes all the instruments that are mixed far left and far right.

    edit: I started to wonder about what some people here said about Kay's vocals... to the point where I wondered if this was the correct mix - meaning not overdubbed, and after watching it again just feel that this band was just playing really really loud, which truth be told since I was playing in rock bands back then too [electric bass] I'm sure we would have done the exact same thing, turn them amps up and let 'em roar !!

I hate to admit it, but some of the tunes are catchy and grow on you. Or maybe it's because I love Kay Hanley's voice. She didn't want to be in a band anymore, as she got older. Now she writes music.
