Veruca Salt appreciation thread

HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago  or at  2:44PM on Wednesday, June 13 2007 in music

I'm talking classic Veruca Salt, before the massive shit fight that caused Nina Gordon to leave. Eight Arms To Hold You is in my top 5 most listened to albums of all time.

Lay down your respect here.

HAHAHAHA


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

what was the shitfight, anyway ?


HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago:

Fuck you jones they were ace.


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

I used to be into that album when I was 11.
Then I got over it.
Then I was at a gig they were playing at, went along to see them, and they sucked real bad.


HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago:

I think the shit fight was caused by the two chicks fucking each others boyfriends a bit.


adamdmills  said about 5 years ago:

yep, those first two albums are killer.

whatever louise is doing now i don't consider to be veruca salt.


Mo  said about 5 years ago:

which one was the cute one?


HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago:

whatever louise is doing now i don't consider to be veruca salt.


agreed.


HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago:

They're both pretty ugly really. But Louise is the slightly fairer of the two.


tangy_zizzle  said about 5 years ago:

Shoulda broken up after American Thighs. Great name for a record.


Mo  said about 5 years ago:

i liked the shorter one.... hahahaha

nah they were pretty good - like never bought their records but they did have good songs n melodies


socks  said about 5 years ago:

I agree with tangy_zizzle.

You kidding me? Eight Arms To Hold You is one of the finest examples of pop writing in the last 20 years. Every song is killer...

American Thighs can't hold a candle to it.


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

Louise Post was copping gobbie milkshakes from Dave Grohl for a while, wasn't she?


socks  said about 5 years ago:

That's because American Thighs has no hands whereas Eight Arms has, like, eight.

AHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

etc


HitTheCity  said about 5 years ago:

haha, gold socks.


socks  said about 5 years ago:

Louise Post might still be going out with Grohl. She also went out with John Cusack's brother.

Nina Gordon was better looking (to my eyes anyway) and looks like she's become either rock-lite or adult contemporary.


socks  said about 5 years ago:

Nina Gordon. A figurehead of the 'bad posture' movement!


adamdmills  said about 5 years ago:

my guess is that nina now sounds like belinda carlisle.

she's certainly aged more gracefully than louise.


de.foxus  said about 5 years ago:

fuck all you haterz.

i'm with you HTC, both of those first albums are way up there in the listening stakes, and even resolver and tonight and the rest of my life (first nina gordon solo) still get listened to every now and again.

dave grohl left louise post for winona ryder yeeeeeeeeaaars ago.


Goal attack  said about 5 years ago:

Nina Gordon has a sweet nose that just won't quit. 1st album rulez. Eight arms is only good for the power ballads. The modern-day heart, for sure.


socks  said about 5 years ago:

Winona... you fucked up mol!


josejones  said about 5 years ago:

I think you've all fallen into Hit The City's trap.

He's trying to pick up chicks again!


buffytufnel  said about 5 years ago:

I admit to an obssession with "Aurora" from the Tank Girl soundtrack. I've cried real tears to that track, over a prolonged period of time.


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

Can't fight the seather!
What the fuck is that, anywho?


adamdmills  said about 5 years ago:

told you 'bout the seether before
you know the one who's neither or nor
well here's another clue if you please
the seether's louise


JunkiePhil  said about 5 years ago:

1-2-3-4!
Yeah right....
So basicaly the Paul was a Girl!

You speak as if I'd stopped trying at some point.


Goal attack  said about 3 years ago:

I'm having a binge right now. They put their hair behind their ears! BEST LOOK EVER


tadatadatada  said about 3 years ago:

i'm tempted to give it a spin, loved eight arms in my formative years.

Kez  said about 3 years ago:

Was Shutterbug written about Grohl?


penny lame  said about 3 years ago:

yeah. he cheated on louise with winony ryder.
i remember her having a huge spazz out about it at livid a billion years ago. she cried and screamed a fair bit


Goal attack  said about 11 months ago:

What an asshole


toadphoney  said about 11 months ago:

Fair go. She was probably upset.


nedb  said about 11 months ago:

hahahaha....


Goal attack  said about 11 months ago:

Thread closed


Kez  said about 11 months ago:

Which Foo Fighters songs were about Louise? Everlong? All My Life? Have It All?


losgauchos  said about 11 months ago:

I haven't heard this band in years, and I have no recollection of hearing Shutterbug before only the Seether album. It is awesome and the two chicks are super hot. Didn't Dave Grohl bang both of them and that's why they split up? I don't blame him if he did.


moribunderast  said about 11 months ago:

I always thought the story was that Grohl cheated on his then-wife with Louise Post and Pat Smear (who was friends with Grohl's wife) caught them and left the Foo Fighters as a result. Does Dave have twitter? Maybe we should enquire as to his sex-life en masse?

Both girls were kinda cute but looked like junkies to mine eyes. American Thighs is a killer record though. He says as if looks and artistic merit go hand in hand, haha.

From their facebumz:

The brunette was HOT!


zombo  said about 2 months ago:

recently heard these guys for the first time since i was twelve, and was surprised by how good they were. will have to dig further into their 'logue


Kez  said about 2 months ago:

I'm actually a bit excited about this prospect. Played All Hail Me at the Oldie the other week. Sounded fine!


TheBastard  said about 2 months ago:

Get OUT!

Argh!!!!!! Awesome


TheBastard  said 18 days ago:

Louise, Nina and Steve rehearsing American Thighs today according to Facebook.

I'll be doing mind flips if they come to australia. I'd almost consider an overseas jaunt if it meant catching them
