RK have been around for a long time, way before this performance, yet they never hit the mainstream consciousness, but they have legions of devotes fans. Myself counted among them.
Mr. Kurdziel on 🔥. What a nice guitar tone, what an band, what a collection of songs and what a tragedy that they never achieved mainstream success having all the necessary ingredients, including gooddamn good commercial singles.
It rarely comes across on network TV, but they are just POUNDING there, you can tell it's so freaking loud. Fantastic performance of a great song, thank you for posting this! (And stay away from downtown!)
You're welcome! Indeed, this rocks unlike many others from those days, and they should have been much more successful than they were. Thanks for the note of appreciation, as well!
No one sounds like them ❤️❤️❤️❤️stop!!!!! They are the best no matter what. Money 💰,radios and record labels do not dictate art.... they can inflate, inject, fake artist. no one can tell these musicians how to play and write or produce their music. They had created their sound😳they know what to do... better than all commercial unflattering, boring music/producers/musicians
Because this was 1994 and I was heavily into all of this music back then. In 1994, alternative started to mean bands like the Spin Doctors and Dave Matthews Band. Glorified bar band bullshit that appealed to lowest common denominator fans who knew nothing about what true musical genius was. Sadly, shit bands like DMB paved the way for more commercialized garbage and 5 years later, we suddenly had N'Sync and the Backdoor Boys. It's a shame... if it weren't for awesome bands like Coheed & Cambria, I would honestly think that 1994 was one of the last good years for music.
DanR67 couldn't of said it better myself... also Material Issue's, Freak City Soundtrack was a winner as well... The follow up to Phaseshifter, Show World, was supposed to be the release that took made them a household name, but their label decided to give the band Tonic a heavy push... The only reason I can come up with is that it is easier to sign and promote mediocre bands and do that assembly line, one hit wonder thing that was going on back then. Redd Kross, didn't fit that mold, they were and still are to creative to be dull and generic, like dmb and all those shitty jam bands
I knew Steve Macdonald had to have some sort of amazing pedigree to be one of the best bassists for the Melvins. Just kicking myself for not checking out RK sooner
How on point were the camerapeople for this shoot? They probably heard the song somewhere around 10am that day, then within a few hours had a masterplan to highlight everything good about the band. Sick.
As a huge fan of RK, seeing this for the first time only makes me wonder even more why they never broke big, or even semi-big. It wasn't for a lack of opportunities: Label deals with Atlantic, RCA/Big Time, and then Mercury, being managed by the same guys as Nirvana, Jeff being married to a Go-Go, Steve getting hitched to a Waronker, and yet nothing. As you can see from this clip, they finally had the whole package circa "Phaseshifter" and yet it literally sold ten copies. Only half-joking when I say there should be a criminal investigation into why this band remains such a well-kept secret outside of L.A. city limits and that it takes people going to see the fucking Melvins and wondering who that kick-ass bass player is for them to discover RK!
Hey Redd Kross Fans! I’m directing a documentary about Redd Kross. We are Krowdd-Fundding now. Go to reddkrossfilm.com to check out the trailer and donate!
Know what? I saw themboth. And you are right. That first video from Nirvana established them as a more "serious" thing, At a time when video was it. And that freakin video was over the moon. But as two bands? No question, RK stomped em.

One of the most underrated bands in rock history!!!
Amen, Brother! The McDonald Brothers are eternally awesome!
So right!
Phaseshifter is one of the best albums of the 90s. Redd Kross are still the kings!
My uncle was in this band. RIP EDDIE‼️💔
Such 90s gear.. Korg T3, Emg Pickups, Sovtek, Peavey 5150, Sadowsky, that gated snare reverb.. Yet this rocks more than anything out now
Perfect. My kind of comment.
Amazing band, seen them live many times. Blew off a divorce hearing prep to see them at the Roxy. Worth it!
RK have been around for a long time, way before this performance, yet they never hit the mainstream consciousness, but they have legions of devotes fans. Myself counted among them.
Indeed. Got to see them for the first time ever last week opening for Melvins
saw them perform in Hollywood in '84 or '85 (with the great Robert Hecker on guitar) -- my favorite, still have them on vinyl!
New fan here. Never heard of them until I was impressed by Steven in the Melvins
2023 and I still think this is one of the best songs ever made. Wth this guitar solo is fantastic.
Whoever did their sound is the best! And what a performance!
Mr. Kurdziel on 🔥. What a nice guitar tone, what an band, what a collection of songs and what a tragedy that they never achieved mainstream success having all the necessary ingredients, including gooddamn good commercial singles.
Saw these guys in Chicago at this time, they opened for The Lemonheads. Good stuff.
gawd what a performance
they KILL it
True spirit of rock
You can tell how pumped they are to be playing on Leno, it’s like they’re schtick of being huge rockstars really came true!😁👍
Redd Kross - Is An Underrated Band, And Of Little Recognition - Especially In Brazil, Almost Nobody Knows About The Existence Of This Band
The great Eddie in action (RIP 1999) -- great lineup. But every lineup they have is great!
It rarely comes across on network TV, but they are just POUNDING there, you can tell it's so freaking loud. Fantastic performance of a great song, thank you for posting this! (And stay away from downtown!)

Incredible live sound! Awesome song
In the backline, two of the most iconic guitar amplifiers of the 90s.
What a great band .Saw them many times London 90,s .Ace live band .
I love Redd Kross to death. I only wish they were more prolific.

Holy Shit! They should have been HUGE!!! Sad.
Great suit great band.
This is MY RK era!!!
the noise melody and lyrics, outstanding
To mucht in my day an accalade
Great freaking band !!! Miss good bands like these 😊
In terms of how well it flows with the song, this is probably my favorite guitar solo out there.
Love love love them!!!
ReddKross fucking rules. Perfect music, melodies. Impeccable style
They were well know in Los Angeles, in the mid 80's
Phaseshifter is a forking great album.
This is CZcams, not the USA. Here we can say "fucking" instead of "forking".....
@@joskoning9046 I didn't want it to get deleted. But yeah,bits a fucking great album.
@@SD_Marc Fair enough :) and yes, great album!!
Gold standard for Powerpop
Cheap Trick may have something to say…;)
Killer. Loved Citadel in the 80s, and later got into Phaseshifter. Supercool band who could utterly smash it without taking themselves too seriously…
His hair is pretty awesome! :P
I saw these guys play because I was more interested in the opener (Sloan)
Yeah, I was blown away and have been a fan since.
Wow real Musicians and Artists (good Humans) on here ha ,pretty rare only been a handful throughout the "year's " Red Kross is the Truth!!!
Best line-up.
How were these guys not bigger than what they were?!?!
+Porch Fyre Generalized bad taste.
+Edu Ruiz R.I.P Eddie - The Best Guitar
totally agree!

Still shines up there
Some of the most fun live shows ever!!!
Imagine see these guys opening for Gwar! At the Moore in Seattle. What a bizarre show that was.
this band is amazing!!!!
Too good
Geri!!!! Prog Rock Godess!
Lady in the Front Row
That’s my jam
Amazing as always!
So great.
Great!

From Fleetwood to tonight show
kick ass
Fleetwood? Mi Casita was probably a smaller venue.
Great style!!
So cool!
Great Band
Fodástico . valeu do brasil.
Everything was better in 1994.
without deaths
Redd Kross - É Uma Banda Subestimada, E De Pouco Reconhecimento - Principalmente No Brasil, Quase Ninguém Sabe Da Existência Dessa Banda
The guitarrist Eddie died in 6 of june of 1999
Ohhh!
I knew Steve Macdonald had to have some sort of amazing pedigree to be one of the best bassists for the Melvins. Just kicking myself for not checking out RK sooner

Love this song. I feel like the white stripes ripped them off. The video brings me back
Ok i can see how they inspired STP tiny music.... Scott Weiland even said so. He liked them and toured with them a little
Fuck ! Great !!!! R. K. 4 ever !!!
Oh shit, I didn't know Wonka fronted a band. Sweet!!!
Who else found them through gta 5? Linda Blair on Channel X?
As a huge fan of RK, seeing this for the first time only makes me wonder even more why they never broke big, or even semi-big. It wasn't for a lack of opportunities: Label deals with Atlantic, RCA/Big Time, and then Mercury, being managed by the same guys as Nirvana, Jeff being married to a Go-Go, Steve getting hitched to a Waronker, and yet nothing. As you can see from this clip, they finally had the whole package circa "Phaseshifter" and yet it literally sold ten copies. Only half-joking when I say there should be a criminal investigation into why this band remains such a well-kept secret outside of L.A. city limits and that it takes people going to see the fucking Melvins and wondering who that kick-ass bass player is for them to discover RK!
The total
Did Jay make them take out the word "sex" from the second verse?
censorship back then I guess
They forgot to cast a hex with their echoplex!
I guess for tv purposes back then they had to censor so they didn't play it
1:00
Looks like that guy from mars, but the good side there of
why isnt the music video on youtube
That's a damn good question! Someone please make it happen!
Hey Redd Kross Fans! I’m directing a documentary

Who’s the drummer? Lol
I get it.
Redd Kross > Nirvana.
Seria um concorrente do Nirvana?

And that freakin video was over the moon. But as two bands? No question, RK stomped em.
Datena
John Lennon taking out a rocket in 1994
Tbh I like more of there punk stuff
who in the hell is the soccer mom on the organ? LOL
That's Jeff's wife, Charlotte Caffey formerly of The Go-Go's.
@@Busk_N_Groove No.....its Gere Fenneley! Charlotte was never in the KROSS man!!
My bad.....Cheers for setting me straight bro!!
@@Busk_N_Groove I knew that it wasn't Charlotte but she did play the organ in the band The Eyes (her pre Go Go's band, it does sort of look like her.)
Jeff had so pretty hair like a girl lol
HAHAHA! Beatles and Led Zep...phooey! Not a throwback act.
...more like Partridge Family and KISS. ;)
TRUTH…
