Known about this band for only maybe 7 years thanks to UA-cam. This shit is timeless. Better later than never. Entering my 30s jamming this shit whiling grinning and bearing what fucked up shit humanity is about to deliver have a feeling we're in for a ride. Buckle up smoke some green and jam to good shit like this. Need all the good vibes we can get lol.
I always wanted to grow my hair out because of Scott. I never got around to it. But now I am growing it out to donate my hair. Seeing this video again reminds me of good times.
@WarmothGuitarist Local H formed in 87. Nirvana also formed in 87 Seattle and Chicago. Many miles apart. They are the results just as "Sub-Divisions" by Rush had predicted. Garage bands were now grunge bands. All over the country. Technology also boomed which made it easier and much faster to spread music. Just how I remember it...
I saw them on this tour with COC. Scott ran down from the stage and sold all the merch. I got a shirt that said “ Twentynothing” ,wore it until it disintegrated.
For those of you making Cobain references, it's gotten old already. The comparisons have been played out after 16 years since his death. The fact is that Nirvanaesque music was all around the country, and merely needed to surface from the underground. If record companies had promoted Local H first, then we'd be calling Kurt Cobain a Scott Lucas wannabe. In all honesty, you could even say that Nirvana stole their style and sound from the Boston hardcore scene...making them ripoff artists.
The funny thing is, Local H and Nirvana formed the same year. It took a while for Local H to put out a record because they weren't out in Seattle during the grunge heyday.
@ByEmptinessAbducted Local H's first album does sound a lot like Nirvana (and a bit like Smashing Pumpkins) but they really evolved their sound over their next few albums.
As fucking hard as this song goes and the goofy music video is if you listen to the lyrics this song is really deep. Like it hits so close to home for me.
Great song. I was not a fan of this band but, they did have some truly talented members. They also had a few really great songs from the first record. RECORD, not tape or cd.
LOL, A lot of ole skool potheads could relate to that. I remember watchin this video w/my cousin in the early 90s on some Beavis &Butthead episode. Hell, we smoked hella bud in those days, lol. 1990s were fuckin fun, dawg!!! I pity the new generation. I am married now with 3 kids now(been in the Army and College). Hip Hop m was good /Rock was good lIfe was good , everything, man. Maybe the 2010s will be a btter decade, but the Clintonb Dayus were awesome.
I'm pretty sure it was because Nirvana was around and just kinda blew them over. Otherwise I have no idea who they got overlooked. I love them and unfortunatly missed seeing them in concert.
read the mad season lyrics also read most of the alice in chains self titled (tripod) and jar of flies then say Staleys lyrics werent that great. Cantrell wrote amazing but you can feel something when you read Staleys that you cant find in anyone else's lyrics
yeah well you can say the same thing about the pixies and alot of other punk bands, but nirvana was the one who brought the sound above ground. Not taking anything away from mudhoney, but facts is after nevermind took off, the radios stopped playin that shit like winger. Which opened the airwaves for bands like soundgarden, aic, and pearl jam. If you're really trying to get technical, there wouldnt be any of this shit without the beatles.
I fucking hate how I can't see the original comment! I really want to see why 7 people gave the comment a thumbs down and prompted jsik69x to comment as he did. FML
@I69Sk8er69I That was the point I was making. People need to stop bitching about originality for the most part. And Tool took a lot from bands like the Melvins, and personally i prefer The Melvins.
it's not the meaning of the myrics i mean, it's like when i hear him i jut wanna hit someone in the face or something, you know it gets my adrenaline pumping,and alice in chains have some great lyrics ofc would and down in a hole are fantastic and the unplugged songs
I love Nirvana as much as the next guy. I miss the Seattle scene as much as the rest of my GenXers. But labeling a band a ripoff artist, when the band that they are supposedly ripping off is also a ripoff artist...it's ridiculous. All bands borrow their sound from someone, then evolve it. Just as King Crimson came long before Tool....MC5 came long before Nirvana. Noone is truly original anymore, for it has pretty much been done before. So, quit treating Cobain as if he invented "grunge".
Yeah, I never knew what so many people saw in SP, a lot of people would be all surprised when I told em that I thought they blew. They're like "what?! how can you hate them?!" "cause they suck..." The only song I like by them is that Rat In A Cage song, just because I used to hear it all the time as a kid.
No matter how much I love Nirvana, the Sex Pistols, or Slayer, this band will always remain my favorite band of all time.

local h fans are the best fans such a good following for such an underrated band
It's not that Nirvana is overrated, just that all the other grunge bands are underrated.
Why not both?
Yesssssss!
Best two piece band ever.
Responsability grunge band. Greetings from São Paulo!
...and it's a two piece, I remember this when I was in the States. Simply awesome.
I wish there was a higher quality video of this somewhere
*screeech... ... ... ... ...YEAH!
this is the kind of music i play on the guitar and i love playing this way.
Couldn't believe it when they played this at tonight's show in Glasgow!!!
Damn just realized this was posted on the day UA-cam was made
Yup I remember going on it for the first time like it was yesterday. Time is flying, wtf
I never stuff from "Ham Fisted" had videos. Awesome! Theyre still one of my favorite grungies
Criminlally underrated post-grunge band. And Joe Daniels, we miss you !
Hello, you life?
I always wanted to grow my hair out because of Scott. I never got around to it. But now I am growing it out to donate my hair. Seeing this video again reminds me of good times.
Holy Shit.. I did not know this existed. I can't deal..
@WarmothGuitarist
Local H formed in 87. Nirvana also formed in 87
Seattle and Chicago. Many miles apart.
They are the results just as "Sub-Divisions" by Rush had predicted.
Garage bands were now grunge bands. All over the country. Technology also boomed which made it easier and much faster to spread music.
Just how I remember it...
Scott’s vocals are so unique I love it.
Joe Daniels is a beast on drums..
love this song! just discovered these guys! those youtube recommended videos ARE good for something lol
Love it. Reminds me of Nirvana
Today's wordle reminded me of this song.
I saw them on this tour with COC. Scott ran down from the stage and sold all the merch. I got a shirt that said “ Twentynothing” ,wore it until it disintegrated.

I love the quality of these vids.... I watch almost every other day. Thanks for posting

saludos desde calama san pedro de atacama Chile
this is bad ass
greatness....pure greatness
crushing it!!! loving it!!!
im telling my band mates to play this kind of style i think it would be cool.
❤
I got to take his place once on stage. This was about 95 ot 96. I still have the sticks. Great fucking time.
These guys rock!
very Nirvana like... love it
this video is awsome. it looks like a video you would watch wen smoking weed
I met Scott Lucas last week and he talked to me like a friend. How cool is that? That is a sure way to gain fans.
Bad Ass Group, Bad ass song!!
He went to be the owner of a Children's Clothing Shop in Illinois with his Wife. =D
@ByEmptinessAbducted Local H's first album does sound a lot like Nirvana (and a bit like Smashing Pumpkins) but they really evolved their sound over their next few albums.
Why aren't they recognized more!!!!
@ByEmptinessAbducted Cynic is a pretty good band too.
brings back memory of the grunge generation nirvana and pearl jam
Apparently they've been recording a new album.
I really wish that the quality on either my computer, or the video was better, it still sounds really good, but it's really fuzzy and hollow
Yeaaaahh! dude! nice band!
i swear this band is so aswesome
WOW !!!!
Local H's best song. I love Cynic. Ham Fisted is their best album.
100% Awesome
Im quoting that.
As fucking hard as this song goes and the goofy music video is if you listen to the lyrics this song is really deep. Like it hits so close to home for me.
Dang! These guys rocked hard! They never really got the attnetion they deserved.
@Sappy22889 No thats more Spastic Ink and Cynic that are Fucking amazing and way too underated.
Missed? They're still together (though Joe Daniels left the band and has been replaced by Brian St. Clair) and they still tour.
Hee heeee...that's me and the late Pepper in the video! Yep, that's me in the garish make-up....ugh....
two piece band? holy fuck.
@bobsirebob
Yea, l have the same thing. The camera's from back then are much more cooler than the HD, 3d stuff i dunno, they've got now.
Chicago's best kept secret for sure.
Great song. I was not a fan of this band but, they did have some truly talented members. They also had a few really great songs from the first record. RECORD, not tape or cd.
wait youtube was around in 2005?
This was the first ever video on youtube
Fucking kick-ass drummer.
all you have to do is click "options" beside the comment counter and select "show all" but like jsik69x said, it's not really worth the time.
LOL, A lot of ole skool potheads could relate to that.
I remember watchin this video w/my cousin in the early 90s on some Beavis &Butthead episode. Hell, we smoked hella bud in those days, lol.
1990s were fuckin fun, dawg!!! I pity the new generation. I am married now with 3 kids now(been in the Army and College). Hip Hop m was good /Rock was good lIfe was good , everything, man.
Maybe the 2010s will be a btter decade, but the Clintonb Dayus were awesome.
ham fisted is fucking amazing.
That epic album made me head bang so hard because the beat of the drums were epic.
what about localh now? are they still alive?
Cool robot
I'm pretty sure it was because Nirvana was around and just kinda blew them over. Otherwise I have no idea who they got overlooked. I love them and unfortunatly missed seeing them in concert.
Good assed band...what the hell happened to them?? =(
@TheChrisnew Why choose?
ham fisted.. awesome cd
MUITO FODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
read the mad season lyrics also read most of the alice in chains self titled (tripod) and jar of flies then say Staleys lyrics werent that great. Cantrell wrote amazing but you can feel something when you read Staleys that you cant find in anyone else's lyrics
local h rocks
First time I saw this video, I had a nightmare. XD
Local H, highly underrated....but I wouldnt have it any other way. Cuz it's just for us....ya know?
I'm the one screaming...oh, those were the days...
A two piece bathing suit from Chicago
This song is fuckin badass. And to UnexpectedVisitor, don't insult them like that.
Dude you should collaborate with Lorde and see how it turns out... if you wanted to
yeah well you can say the same thing about the pixies and alot of other punk bands, but nirvana was the one who brought the sound above ground. Not taking anything away from mudhoney, but facts is after nevermind took off, the radios stopped playin that shit like winger.

original rock at its best for the 30 something
@SweetDreamNextNight I tought the same thing....
Not bad imo
Meant to say Clinton Days. Hell, Im drunk . I still drink. lol. : D
OH EM GEE!

Zion is not Chicago, anyhow great band!
I know
But Nirvana was great same goes for Local H
Now you know where your 6th thumbs up comes from.

dude ur right bout the alice in chains statement but i doubt this guy wrote better lyrics then kurt thats just my silly opinion :p
I fucking hate how I can't see the original comment! I really want to see why 7 people gave the comment a thumbs down and prompted jsik69x to comment as he did. FML

Local H and Nirvana are two completely different bands.
Just enjoy the fucking music like everyone else.
