I can’t think of any other bands from the UK that were in that post-grunge era, mad to think Bush were cracking on with that to a backdrop of the rise of Brit pop in the UK
Awful lotta lyric discussion in these comments. If you analyze grunge lyrics you have too much time on your hands that should be spent learning the guitar parts. :)
@@07foxmulder there are a lot of references of other songs, poems etc in this song. You just have to dig a little deeper. There are a lot of weird lyrics in grunge songs.
@@brian4055 the whole song is about being bored and disappointed by the English music scene at the time, in contrast to American music and arts in general. So, there are a lot of references of American and some English bands/artists in there. For example Gavin used names of songs and poems that he likes in the song: Tom Waits (Raindogs) and Ginsberg (Howl). He also used to love David Bowie growing up and in the song Life On Mars there's the line: "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow, Lennon's on sale again." So, he changed (John) Lennon to Dave (Bowie). Also, the “there is no sex in your violence” line is a about how American music looked more appealing/sexy to him and also a bit of a reference to a Jane's Addiction line "Sex is violent" in the song “Ted, Just Admit It…”
also, the line about Elvis being alive, is probably also another reference to American music, and that he believes in it, just like there are people believing that Elvis didn't die. I think it works great in this song.
Thanks for reminding me of this great band. Just listening to "Letting the cables sleep" now. Great video.👏
Nice!
Yeah I listened to Science of things and Golden state last week, they still got it
Going to see them tomorrow so I thought I'd learn a few Bush songs. Always appreciated!
Enjoy the show mate!
One of the great openers of 90s rock albums!
So many great songs from my youth belong to this band. Would love to see a lesson of “distant voices” such a great underrated song in their catalog.
I was just listening to this today, awesome timing! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Another great lesson Matt. To me this sounds like some nice soothing rock to enjoy learning.
Definitely helps clear my head.
Good to hear Kerry! Enjoy!
Great Song from a great album.
😊🤘
Love that tone!!
Cheers Wayne!
It's funny how Gavin's part during the solo, is actually the Machinehead riff, played 1 and 1/2 step higher. We also want Nigel's parts :) Thanks!
Cheers Charlie will do! 😀🤘
Shows the originality and range Bush had.
@@07foxmulder big deal, it’s just the background guitar under the slide solo. I just found it interesting.
Every good boy and girl deserves a little _Zen_ in their lives 🤘🤘
Oh yes mate!
Really like your videos but sorry I'm super disappointed you didn't show the lead slide guitar part. Was hoping to learn that bit
Fear not Chris, i'll sort those in another vid :-)
Great lesson 👍
Could you do some more Bush lessons please?
Thanks man and yes more planned soon!
@@LetsPlayAll Can‘t wait to see it 🙂
@@LetsPlayAll swallowed pleaseeeee
Love it!
best band to come out of the u.k in the grunge era in the early 90's

PLEASE Do machinehead and the tone for that song.
What guitar is that?
It's a Suhr - more info here :-) ua-cam.com/video/4flr8JXyppo/v-deo.html
The single p90 is a Suhr?
What amp is it you using for your vids?
Victory V40 😊🤘
So cool song :)
there's so much more to it
Pure Grunge.
😀🤘
Post grunge*
Watered down Seattle sound.

Haha I need to check out the lyrics for this one, must admit I’m terrible at remembering lyrics 😂
@@LetsPlayAll I definitely wasn't saying this to you, but merely an observation of many of the other comments here. Thank you for your great videos!
Gavin teaches it better
I’d hope so 😂
Nice tone but the lyrics in this song are just terrible. 🤮
Oh my god for sure. The whole Elvis tangent...what that hell was that about lol

That find my asshole brother crap at the beginning just makes me cringe immediately. Yeah the Elvis nonsense is horrible too.
