The most underrated band I've ever listened to. It's honestly a shame they didn't get as big as Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam. The whole 8 arms to hold you album is fantastic from start to finish.
The 8 arms to hold you album had its moments, but some of it I found pretty dull. Let's not get carried away here. These chicks were nowhere near the musicians that those other bands you listed were. They were the best female led grunge band, but really there wasn't much competition.
This is like the female version of Mansons and nine inch nails videos type vibes. Just eerie ish. Pearl jam must have a massive fan base. I find comments about them everywhere. I just thought the instruments were purty & I felt bad for Jeremy - back then... :/. They must've been out in early 90s. However old that singer is, he doesn't seem that old 🤔🤷. Or ages gracefully. Idk ish about Alice in chains - from the top of my head. Also, Veruca Salt has Daria vibes :/. - 82
@Videos of the past when this song flopped they were done. They spent a lot of money on this video and it got very little play on MTV. This was around the time the Spice Girls came out.
@Videos of the past I think it was just a changing of the guard. The late 90s were all about pop and veruca salt wasn't in that mold. I remember Benjamin getting some airplay and morning sad too I think, but they never made a video for those. The record company gave up on them by that point. That being said, this is probably my favorite VS song, and I love the video.
TOTALLY AGREE. I have this album in my top 10 of all time. It doesn't have a bad moment, and Earthcrosser is perhaps the strongest album ender I've ever heard.
I'm a real guy and I love these girls. Back in an era past Grunge. Simple, to the point in your face Rock. 1997 through 2007 is highly underappreciated
Saw them open for PJ Harvey. In the nineties there was such incredible rock music. Punk was winding down, but you still had $5 fugazi shows, watching grunge go from the bands I skated around to in high school in the early hours of the 90s, then they all just exploded. And acts from the Breeders, to PJ Harvey, to Babes in Toyland, was some of the most Kick-Ass female alternative bands. And Veruca Salt was right there. Saw them three times and they were even better live. Their albums are good, but their songs were just take it to a different level live. Louise post and Nina Gordon are incredible.
Its a cracker, though I always suspected "monkey" had orginally intended to be a slightly harsher word, but they decided to swap out the cuss for something less likely to get the song booted off daytime radio
That's Disinherit for me, but this is a close second. Either way, i'm always more inclined to American Thighs and their first EPs/B-sides, there's a lot to their darkness in these works no one ever fully explores.
It's freezing in Bristol There's love on the telly A girl grinning at me She's doing the shimmy And she's cool And she's skinny And she's a fool For the last living rock king It's her thrill it's her wonder It's her will it's her way home She's right where she always wanted to be She can't change, change change It's lightning in London ( it's lightning in London ) There's shit on the telly ( There's shit on TV ) You're pushing my buttons ( You're pushing my buttons ) You know how to touch me And I knew That you'd choose me By the times That you tried to refuse me It's your thrill it's your wonder It's your will it's your way home You're right where you always wanted to be You can't change, change, change It's morning in philly ( It's morning in philly ) My head's feeling heavy ( My head's feeling heavy ) The sun makes me dizzy ( The sun makes me sick ) You monkey you left me And I know that you miss me By the way that you kiss and resist me It's my thrill it's my wonder It's my will it's my way home I'm right where I always dreamed I would be I can't change, change, change
I hope you young ones listen to American Thighs with headphones on all the way up from start to finish. That's an assignment, please report back. :) Seriously these ladies are one of this old dude's favorite bands and are awesome. I think all young rock n roll girls should listen to them as a requirement.
Eight Arms To Hold You is still one of my favourite ever albums. I still remember playing it loud in the back yard, November 1997, when having my 18th birthday party, waiting for people to arrive.
Reminds me of the summer of '97. I miss the music from the 90's. There were so many great bands, it was a great time to be a kid. Music, for the most part, has blown since. There have been some good bands and some great music in the years in between then and now, but not like then. Bands like Soundgarden (still great), Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Melvins (still great), Helmet, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam, L7, Weezer, Faith No More (still great)....etc. There are many more from other genres like NIN, Pantera, White Zombie, Beastie Boys, Radiohead (one of my favorite bands EVER), Sublime, even Marilyn Manson and earlier Korn. Just good shit....I really miss it. Sorry for the rant, kind of got on a tangent there. Happy 2016!!!!
I've always loved these girls. I get in my 90's mood and end up listening to some great music. This song has been stuck in my head since yesterday. I wish music was more like it was back in the 90's. All of my favorite bands are from that time or earlier. It's a shame what music has become today. Not the same. I can't even think of any recent bands that I actually like!
+thomas zambelli. I don't know. I like the Foo Fighters an awful lot, and Queens of the Stone Age. Bob Mould's last album kicked ass, too. But I miss the 90's "sound," the thick sounding guitars, shorter guitar solos, the anger, the angst, etc. It all made it sound like it did. And that idea that sprang from punk rock...that you didn't have to be a virtuoso to have a band. I miss it. It's around.
+Michael Scapp When I was a very young man I was ashamed that I liked Varuca Salt. I didn't know if they were a "real" band or not. All the while, the energy they put out would get me very excited and not just in a sexual way.
Just re-listening to some great old grunge by Veruca Salt - I had American Thighs and Eight Arms To Hold You on CD back in the late 90s. They still sound great, heavy guitar riffs, passionate vocals. Somehow never saw this video. I'm from Bristol in the UK, and laughing out loud with this song's opening line "It's freezing in Bristol" - amazing! I'm also a photographer, aka a shutterbug. Weird! Hope this tour the UK again some day.
Man I remember this era like it was yesterday, this song still gives me goosebumps, from the haunting singing they do to the crunchy, chunky, heavy breakdowns.
Louise Post was the best part of Veruca Salt, by far, and I sincerely hope she realizes that. I've heard Nina's solo material, and it kicks ass. It will never, ever, trump Louise, though.
i love them both, and the songs they’ve both written, but louise was the one who carried on veruca salt when nina left, and that definitely makes her extremely dedicated to her band.
@@mloftin6472 Critics slammed that album--- Saying that most people couldn't relate. It wasn't about people "relating" - - - It was about Louise putting her life and emotions on display for everyone to see. I love all of Veruca Salt's albums/songs, but Resolver was definitely the most heartfelt
@SecDefChris84 I agree with you. The music in the 1990's was awesome. This vid is proof of that. I had so much fun working as a stage hand and hanging out with a lot of the bands in the 90's. Good times.
Amazing song. Still!! And forever stunningly gorgeous are these two ladies. Just wow. This and Volcano Girls. Fantastic rock. Two smokin hot chicks!! The two dudes in the band never get enough credit either for their contributions. Excellent musicianship.
this is just a sick video...there was no youtube in the '90's so we didn't get to see how amazing some of these videos were! Glad the band finalllllly got back together, new stuff is amazing!!! #itsholy #museumofbrokenrelationships
I just Hope music like this comes around again, because there is NOTHING like this out here now, at least on such a grand scale. I can only hope that some younger generation catches hold of this and is inspired by it enough to work hard and bring what they create to their peers and the public for us all to enjoy.
When I first heard them I believe it was 93 I was blown away the power coming from these two babes was insane I'm 51 now and still listen to them regularly
I saw them in 1997 for my birthday with my friends. We didn't really know them but we were all impressed by their music. Very underrated band. Great song writers.
my favorite song from my top album of all time, not a single skip in the whole thing. i cant listen to a song in it without hearing the beginning of the one after in my head. one of those albums you just have to listen all the way through in order
I had the same exact thought, I came to the comments to see if anyone else thought so. Especially @26 seconds in, Louise looks like she could've been in "Interview With the Vampire". If I was casting a vampire movie back then, I would've called her up. Imagine blood dripping down the corners of her mouth with a big set of fangs. Glorious.
+ignescentphoenix Not going to say it isn't cool. But I miss everything the 90's had for me. We were all young, the music was awesome, shit wasn't so bad.
Long live Louise Post...the true auteur of today's most popular works. Without her obvious contribution, many acts, major ones even, would never have succeeded. Rock on, Louise.
a commenter said he considered them the female counterpart of alice in chains and it hit me that yeah, they have that same heavy and slightly unsettling sound as aic.
A WEIRD THING ABOUT THIS SONG`S HISTORY, IS THE FOLLOWING: This song and music-video were circulating on MTV back during August of `97, and seemed to be doing well. However, it should be noted that -, with the name "Shutterbug", and other possible photographic references in the lyrics -, the song (arguably) had the implication of being about "the glamorous life" or even about "paparazzi". Also, the song`s lyrics definitely imply that the song`s "setting" is predominantly in Britain -, with mentions of "it`s freezing in Bristol", "love on the 'tele' ", and "lightening in London". ~ THEN, at the very end of that August, Princess Diana died; and SUDDENLY, this video was nowhere to be found. I`ve always felt that this song was a victim of the wave of anti-paparazzi sentiment that swept through after that event.
It's actually about Dave Grohl and Winona Ryder, whom had hooked up while Post was still dating Grohl. Post was in Brittain when a movie with Winona came on (I believe it was Beetlejuice) and it influenced her to write about the affair even though a few months had passed since they had broken up
Veruca Salt were the most underrated band of the 1990s. Period.
Faxxx glad I stumbled upon thier music one being seether
We were sort of inundated with great bands back then. Hard to stand out.
Orange amps and Gibson guitars.
It's 2020, and this is the first Veruca Salt I've ever heard. I'm going to the 90's now. Forward my mail.
Lol. I hope you appreciate dial-up internet connections..
@@wesharwood4553 On their 486, rocking Windows 3.1.

+Winter Steele Veruca Salt were so underrated. Nobody could harmonize like Nina Gordon and Louise Post
+Winter Steele Hey, we have the same last name. Is Winter your real first name?
I always feel weird that this is my favorite VS song, but it is. My second favorite is I'm Taking Europe With Me. Third is Shimmer Like A Girl.
@@mloftin6472 it's my favorite also.
Louise Post, WHAT A WOMAN!
I'm a real guy and I love these girls. Back in an era past Grunge. Simple, to the point in your face Rock. 1997 through 2007 is highly underappreciated
90's = Real people making music.
Real shit ong👍💯
Eight Arms To Hold You is one of the best indie/alt/rock records of the last 25 years (if not ever). So underrated... Every song is incredible.
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
@@ryline666 Right, the word "underrated" is overused.
American thighs is more so
Comments that are just complaints about to use of the word "underrated" are either underrated or overrated, I'm not sure which.
It's always lovely when bands pull cool rock songs on the 3/4 waltz measure.
that solo still has one of the sweetest melodies ever
Yup
I had such a crush on Louise Post when I was 14 back in '97. She is so beautiful and talented.
Holy shit, this band is pure gold. I feel glad I found them!
I'm glad you did. I have been a big VS fan since 1994.
Yo same for me it was on spotify mixes

"You monkey, you left me!" One of the best rock lyrics ever.
I wonder if she's referring to Dave Grohl
@@zm8447 well damn😭
I remember listening to this song in my best friend's basement when I was a kid and we both thought that line was fucking awesome!
@@zm8447 If so I guess he really did become a Monkey Wrench
Its a cracker, though I always suspected "monkey" had orginally intended to be a slightly harsher word, but they decided to swap out the cuss for something less likely to get the song booted off daytime radio
Easily their darkest, most emotional, heaviest, and most capturing song. It's got the best harmonies and the song is just sexy as hell.
Heavy it is.
Earthcrosser might be the heaviest they did. Last song on 8 arms.....
@@CSBassistShimmer like a girl is definitely their hardest song.
That's Disinherit for me, but this is a close second. Either way, i'm always more inclined to American Thighs and their first EPs/B-sides, there's a lot to their darkness in these works no one ever fully explores.
Both Louse n Nina Are Sexy Here
I haven't heard this stuff in years. Takes me back, awesome stuff.
I still get lost in Louise Post's eyes....
agree
She looks the most georgeus in all hail me video
Lost 8 pounds in my balls by switching to louise🤤
From 14 to 43 - still in love with Louise Post. Great song and band.
It's freezing in Bristol
There's love on the telly
A girl grinning at me
She's doing the shimmy
And she's cool
And she's skinny
And she's a fool
For the last living rock king
It's her thrill it's her wonder
It's her will it's her way home
She's right where she always wanted to be
She can't change, change change
It's lightning in London ( it's lightning in London )
There's shit on the telly ( There's shit on TV )
You're pushing my buttons ( You're pushing my buttons )
You know how to touch me
And I knew
That you'd choose me
By the times
That you tried to refuse me
It's your thrill it's your wonder
It's your will it's your way home
You're right where you always wanted to be
You can't change, change, change
It's morning in philly ( It's morning in philly )
My head's feeling heavy ( My head's feeling heavy )
The sun makes me dizzy ( The sun makes me sick )
You monkey you left me
And I know that you miss me
By the way that you kiss and resist me
It's my thrill it's my wonder
It's my will it's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change, change, change
Thank you ☺️
I'm 19 and I have just discovered this band and I already luv em!

Rare to see this kind of creativity in new music videos. Makes you miss when MTV was about the music.
I love their outfits!!!
Emily Warren Veruca Salt have an amazing presentation style in most every music vid. It's just another facet of what makes them completely kickass!
Vehdrehl agreed
Wow. I forget just how beautiful those two are.
I love their voices, and the way they sound together! They just blend perfectly.
This song is hauntingly beautiful....
Louise is SOOOOO rad! Absolutely LOVE her!
I woke up and this was stuck in my head. I couldn't complain. In fact, I felt pretty blessed.
They were the first band I’ve ever seen, opening for Bush in 1997. Been a fan ever since ❤

Cant wait...its been longer than in between Soundgarden albums!! Got a release date yet?
MrDownslider It's been pushed to 2015 so they can tour 2014
One of my favorite veruca salt songs.
Great band. High school days
Nothing can ever replace this band. I miss the old alternative bands.. R.E.M. Nirvana, The Cranberries, Smashing Pumpkins.. ect..
God how i loved them in the 90s . I miss music like this that whole scene was so much b8r than todays music . #nineties
When I first heard them I believe it was 93 I was blown away the power coming from these two babes was insane I'm 51 now and still listen to them regularly
I watched them play this song at a festival in 1997... I am old but this song is still cool AF. The epitome of 90s girl rock.

This ENTIRE album is EPIC !
Long live Louise Post...the true auteur of today's most popular works. Without her obvious contribution, many acts, major ones even, would never have succeeded.

It's actually about Dave Grohl and Winona Ryder, whom had hooked up while Post was still dating Grohl. Post was in Brittain when a movie with Winona came on (I believe it was Beetlejuice) and it influenced her to write about the affair even though a few months had passed since they had broken up
I absolutely adore this song. JUST. SO. GOOD.
Veruca Salt sound amazing in Eight Arms to Hold You album
Its like every jam VS does, Nina enthralls me the most.
I like the brunette
Anyone else just love the way she emphasizes the lyrics "it's my way home"?
Great song. The SNL and Jenny Mc Carthy live versions kill as well.
i saw them last year. they are great. one of my faves.
I agree 1000000%
Still blown away.
Ive died and gone to 90s heaven
Oh my, this is so nostalgic. Suddenly smell my old school...and felt alil stronger.
How DARE someone dislike this.
I do believe this is one of my favorite songs...EVER...
My favorite VS song. I love it.
whole Lotta Love is playing on the stereo!
One of my favourite memories will always be of getting to give Louise at a small show :)
amazing song with a stunningly suited videoclip! 2 of the hottest women on the face of the earth still today
Saw them at Toad's Place New haven, CT in 1994 or 1995. A kick ass show!!
When your Gibson SG's match your Corsets you know you're doing something right!
This was always my favorite song of theirs.
loving it in 2020 Anyone else?
Ah 'Eight Arms To Hold You'. Unless you were there (90's) you probably missed this gem of an album. So awesome.
I am both turned on and scared crapless at the same time...this will haunt my dreams. I know I CANT be the ONLY one.
This is when I properly fell in love with this band. Heaven might just be this song on an eternal loop...I'd be OK with that.
Louise Post Mmmmmmmmmmm
+Drake Dufrene Louise Post used to stare daggers into my heart without even looking at me. I was a very sad adolescent boy.
She was a raven grunge goddess for sure. Eddie the Head is right though... she's gone all cougar.
Happy Birthday!
@@JillyMaysHere I share my birthday with the lovely Louise, _The Day of Infamy._
