    Best example of a real ‘fuzz’ effect in the 90’s on the lead guitar line. Very overlooked band

    L7 is still my favorite band. One of the most underrated bands of all time. “Bad Things” is my theme song

    these girls were way better than a lot of mainstream bands in the grunge scene. their energy playing live is amazing! the presentation on The Word is iconic!

    This song is F’N epic, this band has far more great songs than I knew back in the day.. I recently came off of a 8 month binge of L7, and I’m still not sick of them, I just had to force myself to listen to other shit again ….

    I LOVE L7 ! Pretend We’re Dead is my fav, not far behind is Fast and Frightening, Fuel my Fire, Stuck Here Again, Shove… loads and loads of great songs in their catalogue.
    And to see their totally badass give no f*cks attitude, watch L7 Pretend We’re Dead (Live The Word 1992) ! Blows the antics of Iggy Pop and other male rockers outta the water !

    L7 é tão subestimado. Elas são tão fodas!! Pararam o Brasil quando vieram aqui, tinha uma multidão de fãs no aeroporto e no hotel pra recebê-las. Seu show foi matador! uma multidão de 150.000 brasileiros euforicos ao vê-las tocando.

    "Sounds like Mom get out of my room!" PERFECT!! You will all choose great women & you will raise confident daughters. You know the soul of a young woman.
    I just discovered you guys. And you're probably already going to be my favorite reaction channel. Seeing people get a song the same way you do is absolute balm for the soul!
    Have you done any Ashnikko? I'mna look around your videos. But I bet you will LOVE her.

    Pretend We're Dead is one of their more radio friendly hits. It's the song that peaked everyone's ears, made me buy the album, don't regret at all, L7 rocks.
    They are overall heavier than this song, it's like their ballad
    "Everglade" next.

    Had to take it all in, at first. I was hesitant because of the "advisory", not knowing who they were, and your beginning introduction. But... Musically i loved it! The voice gave me a Joan Jett/Debrah Harry vibe. As a whole it - sounded like a song you'd hear on the CW (Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, etc). Fun song! Love love love your analogies (aloe vera). 😂

    L7 minor minor small hit wonder in its day - nothing more than a blip. There were many great female fronted bands at that time - the first I would suggest would be the original PRETENDERS (in the rock n roll hall of fame). Anything off their first record is considered one of the best debut albums of all time. Try the track "TATTOED LOVE BOYS" video shows them playing live. She ushered in the hip, cool, punk/new wave who could sing and write her ass off. Did not hurt that the guitar player - was considered one of the best of his generation up there with Johnny Marr/ Keep up the good work - enjoy watching your reveiws..especially of Canadian bands (try SAGA another Canadian icon band during its heyday.))

    If you guys are gonna scratch the surface of what grew out of punk and hardcore with this, you should go all in! "I Against I" by Bad Brains is a great one to start with, along with "Holiday In Cambodia" by Dead Kennedys (the album version- way better than the single). For post-HC I would start with Fugazi ("Waiting Room" or "Margin Walker"). Great channel guys!
