Goo - Bootleg live 3 Tracks (2000)









Goo - Bootleg Live 3 tracks

1. In A Big Country (Big Country cover)
2. Itchy Bitch
3. Thing Of The Past

This is a record from a live show, According to Papa Jay, the recordings were actually ripped from a video of a Mayric's gig in 2000 together with bands like On A Day Like Today, Strap-on 7 inch, Mindrape, Tame The Tikbalang, etc. The video was taken using a SonyDigicam plugged with an awesome condenser mic by Ogie Gonzales of V.O.D. (Valley Of Death).

I can't remember where I got a copy of this rip, but here they are, one of the late 90's best punk bands ever. Playing Melodic, Indie-rockish Punk Rock. Way before the term "emo" was raped and stolen by the scene kids.

This is definitely one band I miss seeing play live. The only recorded materials we had of this band was the 2 tracks contributed to the Alpha Numeric Sampler compilation (Itchy Bitch & Thing Of The Past) which has long been out of print.

The last couple of months has seen them playing occasional gigs, which is a good sign after a short hiatus since early 2000's. There has been talk of this band getting their asses together to record a full length studio album so you all better look out for it. This is how metalheads do their punk rock. hehehe

All you 90's babies, here's the lyrics to "Thing Of The Past":

I can’t go on
Imagining the pictures I won’t see
I can’t go on
Inventing words I know you wouldn’t speak

I need a new direction
A musical escape
I strongly feel that I’m right when everything’s this way

I saw you smile
But that won’t change a thing
It doesn’t make it any better
Or any clearer, or anything at all

All the walls they crumble
The pieces of my past
The bricks I’ve laid for love
I know I couldn’t have

I’m through with you
Can’t take much more of
Casual hi’s and long goobyes
That make myself just want you more
She played with me
Took what’s left and threw it on the floor
If I happen to say I love you
Well that was before…

Don’t make me think
About the times we had
It doesn’t make it any easy for me
Pretending you’re not there

I need a new direction
The pieces of my past
The bricks I’ve laid for love
I know I couldn’t have

It’s a pain now
Not the same now
It’s a pain now
Its not the same…

GOO is:
Papa Jay - Vocals, Guitars
