Never Released Song On Mmmbio..

[steve]

i was watching the much more music bio they did on mgb a few yeears ago and in one clip they show them playing live at much in 97 i think... but i dont recognize the song, it definitely has never been recorded..the lyrics are familiar from somewhere, i assume from a manifesto or something. can anyone fill in the gaps for me? heres the link:

How many minutes in was it? I'm too lazy to look through the whole thing.

[matrix]

I looked at it, it's probably 2:32 - 2:45 in. I've never heard it before.

i had the same question.

no one knew then either, but here's the link if it helps.

Wow, that's an early one, heavy use of the organ...

[Prometheon]

For some reason it reminds me of Native Son...

[soundless_space]

It was probably written around the same time as Native Son? Anyway, I never noticed it hasn't been released before.

[bishopx]

It does sound like it could have been written around that time...I don't recognize it either though...I'm going through my mp3s now...

its funny cause he says "i wont lie, if i was just to play acoustic guitar it'd probably be really boring"

 

ohhh how you've changed Matthew

[Guest Prosis]

He actually says (paraphrased) "I would be quite honest and tell you that Hello Time Bomb probably wouldn't sound very good on acoustic guitar, it would be very boring"

 

You liar ;)

The song is called "Sharks of Downtown". I don't think we ever recorded it.

 

P.S. I'm wearin' the hat 'cause I got a WICKED sunburn and I started to blister.Ewwwwwwww...LOL!!!

[Guest Prosis]

Why thank you Geoff, you don't know this but you've ended years of torments for many fans with this post lol ;)

[the old guy]

I think my sister has the whole thing on vhs...I'll call her and get her to dig that ol' P.O.S. up.

[Crusader]

Pretty rad of you to solve this for us Geoff, thanks!

[the old guy]

I'll try to share what I can before my brain turns to mush. ;)

agreed.

it's not boring at all!

[Shiri]

I like never released songs, they get me all excited.

[the old guy]

Well my sister found the tape. I hope Matt ain't gonna kill me fer dredgin' up the past!!! I'll try and figure out a way to post it...

[soundless_space]

Awesome! :o

[bishopx]

That would be great!!!

 

Would love to know more about the song though...

[ben is a sandwich]

i'm salivating like pavlov's dog. thank you geoff.

[the old guy]

I'm a total tech dope so once I get the tape if someone could help me post the damn thing please let me know.

Kee-rist it's been over 10 years since I've seen it!!!

ask crusader. i'm sure he can help you out since he runs this shit.

[Hyphnip]

...so am I the only person that had no idea that Geoff posted here ever? I saw it and had a "holy shit" moment. Anyway, I'm excited to hear this song. I've found lately that I've got a much deeper appreciation of the early MGB stuff (especially Shes Got a New Disguise and Native Sun) so anything that is new old stuff is good by me.

 

disclaimer: Tim is in no way stating that he disliked the newer MG stuff.

[bishopx]

Holy Shit indeed!!! Geoff, what is the name of the song in the video, and does it exist in some recorded form somewhere?

 

I really dig your playing by the way.
