Alanis Morissette : Jagged Little Pill live 1995

I saw Alanis Morissette in 1996 at the Phoenix festival at Long Marsten Airfield , I was already a fan but her performance that day sealed her place in my heart forever , it also introduced me to her drummer , one Taylor Hawkins who absolutely blew me away ... that guy had star potential , wonder what ever happened to him.


Earlier today I was thinking about Phoenix and the time we had there , as I was with my band at the time I spent much of the five days we were there off my face so wondered if her performance was as good as I remember it being , well this is from a few months earlier , you tell me , I know what I think.


Those were the days.
Still love you larney.

Taylor Hawkins is the drummer for the Foo Fighters. Not a household name but a star in his own right.

Flea and Dave Navarro of Red Hot Chili Peppers also played bass and guitar on the studio version You Oughta Know.

I really don't know why I know this.

No offense, but I couldn't stand her voice Celine Dion or Shania Twain were much better Canadian singers IMO.

I'd comment on the drummer...for some reason I wouldn't be able to because I had to turn the volume down listening in on the songs...lol sorry mate

Hate or anger ?
I think anger which is what resonated with people and made Jagged Little Pill such a massive hit , the songs were from the heart and filled with passion in both their construction and performance.

Mary Jane is a favorite.

So what?

Imo, the best music is made by channeling emotion. Hate, love, anger, fear, peace, melancholy, etc. It's the reason I listen to anything and everything from metal to early R+B. Music needs soul to be good. I despise modern Pop exactly because of its lack of emotion and stale, antiseptic, derivative writing.

Music made with lack of emotion isn't music.

Jagged little pill is one of the best albums of all time. I have a big list but that's on it
