Any Meat Puppets Fans Out There?

One of the best live bands EVER! Curt Kirkwood is a guitar god. He used to say that his brother Chris (bass) was a better guitarist than he. Unfortunately, their studio albums were generally sleepy in comparison with their live performances, and they never quite busted out.
Nirvana Unplugged has their 'Lake of Fire' on it.

I was always amazed that they played everything live twice as fast as on the albums, and Curt would sing an octave higher, and wank far more on the guitar. They were an amazing band.

One of the best tours, circa 1986:
Meat Puppets
The Minutemen
Husker Du

No Joke!

Agree with you both 100%. Also think Meat Puppets II is good. Saw them with Camper Van Beethoven in 1985 or 1986 at a small venue in Fresno, CA and they were indeed hot. But so were Camper Van Beethoven. A great gig.

The above bands are some of my favourites as well and a great time and place in music. The small venue shows of the 80's were excellent. I found some the best live performances were by fIREHOSE.

The Meat Puppet Rykodisc remasters with extra tracks are a worthwhile upgrade from the original SST release.

I found them through the Nirvana Unplugged....bought a few discs. Some cool music for sure.

My favorites are Up on the Sun and Forbidden places. One of the few bands I can listen to in any mood.
