Peter Laughner - Amphetamine

- from "Take the Guitar Player for a Ride", a criminally out of print document of the Creem Magazine scribe's too-few recorded moments. Lightly copped later by Jeff Tweedy via Wilco's "Misunderstood".
I've never thanked anyone before for putting a song up - thank you. This is the best song about addiction I've ever heard; I'm in my late fifties, a recovering addict, a former teenage punk rocker - I've heard them ALL. Did I say thank you?
beautiful and touching, and very sad and yet true and authentic, from another former addict
take care of yourself, Sam. I am proud of you!!!
Same with me brother
look at the human filth on UA-cam...go away junkies. No one cares about you or your "struggle" for your self administered problems. It's your fault and your fault alone you fucking criminals
You should be ashamed for writing this comment.... For perpetuating degeneracy
A total of 285 likes for this video/song. I presume the 4 dislikes are from guitar players taken for a ride, and they have hardly ever been satisfied.
If the 4 dislikes aren't from guitar players, it's 4 people that were having a party and they weren't invited.
Peter Laughner is gone, but we still have his music forever. The good die young.
This is the music of someone who was truly here.
Sylvia Plath, Ian Curtis….Peter Laughner….genius that spoke the truth down to the bone. His music cuts to the emotional core of my soul, emptying every gram of sorrow onto the floor.
His music is authentic as it comes.
"The Greatest Lost Track Of All Time" The sorta of song that makes life worth living . . .
This guy is so fantastic, it really is evocative music. I feel like crying in frustration that he died so young and hardly got off the ground/was just getting started musically. We have been robbed of some great music
its so true, and so sad, just think of how many incredible songs we could have gotten if he lasted longer. RIP Peter, gone but never forgotten
27. .. rip - P- Laughner .. yes it is - pretty things goes to "hell".. die to early ...
@@DanielPap-xc7flhe didn't even live to see 25
I sure do wish he could have lived longer. There's no telling what amazing art he would have produced. I guess in the end we should feel lucky he shared anything at all. RIP Peter
This is what I live for. To discover and appreciate music that chills me to the bone.
Peter Laughner singing and lyrics reminds me of Bob Dylan in a lot of his songs. The guitar is fantastic in this song.
So true
He never made it to the magic 27 gone by 24 ,what a shame and until now I had missed him another shame .This has elements of Dylan and The Velvet Underground " We were having a party but we weren't invited " Thanks for posting this
That's exactly what I was thinking, especially as soon as I heard him begin to sing (actually, from the first few notes of the song itself, to tell you the truth).
I like Peter better than dylan personally even though he only got to write a few songs
That guitar line in the beginning is really comforting.
Perfect song
This whole collection just digs into my soul and puts me into a daze.
So beautiful and horrifyingly sad.
R.I.P. Peter.
From Smog Veil,
"The work will finally see the light of day in 2011 as the Peter Laughner LP series debuts in April on Record Store Day. Each LP in the series will feature the best possible audio quality and extensively researched liner notes including never before published photos and amazing interviews. We've tracked down plenty of never before heard recordings, including master reels of secret studio sessions, pristine band rehearsal recordings, and great live recordings."
7 years later... I want to be alive when this bloody thing comes out
@@haupper I believe its supposed to see the light of day this year! At least from what i'm told at the record shop. I'm in cleveland so i'd hope he would know lol
@@siCCSwAmPsmEss any news yet on the release?
@@Itsa6stringthang it was released last year, amazing 5LP box with a 100 pages hardcover book www.smogveil.com/products/peter-laughner-box-set-5-lps-plus-book
Jeff Tweedy does state that he used this on Misunderstood on the lp Being There and it brought me to listening to Laughner solo.
Thank you for sharing I love him solo and look for bands he's played with still my favorite is rocket from the tomb's guy was in so deep
I could almost swear that he and Wilco did this song but maybe that was just a dream...
hauntingly beautiful.
Feel like this is being played now, in the next room, by that future.
It is
LOVE still.
R.I.P. cuz 😇 hope you’re up there rocking those pearly gates, J.M.L.
I cry everytime I listen to this song... Sordide Sentimental ?☠️
TWO guitars, one lower in the mix with fuzztone, awesome!
We're still here! ❤
Great stuff.
Discovered this gem from Wilco's lyrics...
Wilco brought me here...a bunch of parts of this remind me Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands. Cool song!
poor Peter. Though he lived the way he wanted. Every junky is like a setting sun, RIP
Poor Peter ? Poor you and me , his week definitely beat our years ( since we´re in the quotation business and this reminds me a lot of the person I have in mind :-)) .
@@delhidelirium9091 Lou Reed I guess
@@jhoneydog Oh yeah, this geezer must have been fanatically into the Velvets / Lou ... for sure .
What is most poignant is the potential we get to listen to in these recordings ,and the way he opted to chuck it all out the door.
This makes me wanna try to be sober. A friend from Norway.
Me too me too hope one day we can be free from drug and drink
@@jackmaster3134 So, how you doing?
Good luck mate!👍
@BabylonAGoGo I agree. It breaks my heart that no one knows his name. If nothing else, he wrote a song that ended up on GN'R's Spaghetti Incident, where they ruin all my favorite songs...
Yeah that comment made me laugh. That wasn't their best work but it was still G'n'R...
Hopefully Pete's family got some royalties from that.
Hi can you tell me more about Peter? I´m somehow obsessed by him, because I can identify with him, only that I´m fifteen years younger. He was at the right time at the right places, but never made it. A lost genius.
Most of the lyrics sites for this song have the lyrics so ridiculously wrong, it's like they were transcribed by someone who was either mostly deaf or couldn't speak English. I don't get it given that it's very clear what he's singing
So Cold.
I will never forget that guy, although I never met him, and it was all a different time, but what the fuck. I feel for him, being a musician myself, Have a heart!!!
FYI,
just got an Email from Smog Veil, who issues recordings by Pere Ubu & Rocket From The Tombs.
"Smog Veil Clearing The Air newsletter #73, February 2010...Heck, we may even get that Peter Laughner box set done."
perviously,
Wikipedia: "As of 2007, the Smog Veil record label is reported to be releasing a Laughner box set (with tapes procured from Handsome Productions, David Thomas, Tim Wright, and others) which may materialize in 2010. "
i am a guit man, i totally get this song!!!!!!!
I hear a bit of Paul Westerberg in this.
Sounds mid-sixties Dylan with some Velvet Underground influence.
It probably would be better as a finished studio, I distortion of the vocal kinda gets in the way.
❤❤❤
Thank You.
"So don't anybody try and wave goodbye"
Jeff Tweedy is famous for 'lightly copping' other peoples songs. Check out John Cale's,"Hello" from Vintage Violence and then listen to the 1st tune-also the title song-on Wilco's 'Wilco/The Album'..pretty obvious cop.
+TPAwavelink Wow. No shit. I never picked up on the Cale thing before but you're absolutely right.
+TPAwavelink misunderstood off of the album being there is the song where jeff tweedy used a lot of the influences of this tune. I dont hear it at all in the song "Wilco"
Oh please, the Cale song in question & the Wilco song share a sliver of the same very basic rock/ragtime/blues riff. Additionally, "Misunderstood" was properly credited to Laughner in the liner notes to the Being There LP.
Song for Su Tissue, surely now dealing weapons in Abyssinia🖤
She turned into Rimbaud?
Peter is GOD!!!
hey, I remember the Babylon A Go Go! :)
LOVE
Genius
I MIss the Amazing Peter Laughner
Did you know him?
Sounds like that band the Frogs
Check out the take on RFTT's 2004 reunion album...
i did too much speed last night and it's midday...and it is indeed the perfect song
Me too! Gacked
just turned my New Zealand friends onto him.
There's a better version of this done live by Rocket From the Tombs, David Thomas doing good backing vocals. It was on the Pere Ubu box.
it misses my favorite line... 'with your japanese hips. and your spanish lips' tho... also i i actually like the velvet underground quality of this recording
A better version ha that's a matter of opinion but this is the original without the punkrockers this is real
the guitar bit at the start reminds me of Skid Rows : "I remember you"
Your taste in music is as bad as your life choices.
Screenshotted and shared with non pieces of trash
@@roguespearsf says the guy who likes gaslight anthem 🤣
can you please post cinderella backstreet? people need to hear this song
the guitar seems to say „heroin“
😵
DEFINITELY! Where is the footage?
J Mascis should cover this
Was he involved with the Electric Eels?
No. If i'm not mistaken he was with rocket from the tombs in their very early days and after that played with mirrors. Clevo has always had such fantastic yet sadly underrated bands.
@@siCCSwAmPsmEss he was never in mirrors and was in Rocket from the Tombs from beginning to end
@PyneappleExpress So do I.
Only 670 huggs .😶
oh and he sounds a bit like Bob Dylan
No, not in the least junkie
Too bad you haven't OD'd yet
Yah, he knew that too. Isn't it so good.
GnR made me know Peter Laughner....
Fuck GnR correct me if I'm wrong they never gave credit where it was due the original and redux are light years better hell even the dead boys did it better
Glad you like Peter though
@@jackmaster3134 worthless overrated trash band. Fuck GnR
