Blue J Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Early in their career, when asked about their band's name, they replied, "Well, when we applied to the Official Rock & Roll Band Registry for a name, we learned that there were only two names available - Garbage and Hootie & The Blowfish....." :laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy:Garbage is from your neck of the woods. Yep...I saw the second live gig they ever played, at the Cabaret Metro, in Chicago- November of '95. The first was in Madison, WI, because that's where Butch Vig was living at the time, I think.Yes. Butch is from Wisconsin. The other two guys from Garbage have been in Madison for at least 30 years, playing with Butch in bands like Spooner and Fire Town. The Cabaret Metro brings back memories. I saw Bob Mould their back in the early 90s. There was a bar downstairs from the Metro, called "the Smart Bar". Spent a few evenings tying one on there.  I wonder if you and I were making the rounds there at about the same time...I lived in Indianapolis at the time, and I went up there for shows at the Metro at least three or four different times from the spring to fall of '95.

Segue Myles Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 They don't do anything for me, but I always appreciate a band who stick around and keep going! Pleased to see fans still enjoy them, and it would be nice to see the new album go down well.

Day of Light Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Rhyv it makes me happy that you listen to Garbage!! Â Garbage posted another new video. Even Though Our Love Is Doomed. Absolutely wonderful track; slow, suspenseful, beautiful. I think it's more powerful than Empty, and I loved Empty. This album release is seriously exciting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day of Light Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Â IMO her vocal tone's actually gotten stronger with time. I like her voice more now than in their earlier material, and she sounds better live in 2005 and onwards (especially 2012 and onwards) than before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the different ways she sings, her vocal range developed on last years, I agree. Contraltos usually are underrated and she proves what a contralto can do on stage or out of it.Her voice is unique compared to other female voices on rock 'n roll scene. As for this song, is a a typical Garbage ballad. It is on their style yet. I'm curious about this album.  I discovered recently another bonus track called Nobody Can Win, which is awesome Garbage too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shail Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 New album is lame. Nothing of substance. Slow dreary songs. Everyone should and will pass or delete it after a few listens. It's pure garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 The album is great. It sound like the first and second albums merged with some new ingredients. I do like it actually. They still can make strong music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Night Drive Loneliness is a favorite!I like their music/lyric video, honestly.  The band is still alternative. After alternative becoming mainstream (2001-2008) and the last trend was goth/80's related they went in a different direction and then stopped. Their break was needed, many health and personal troubles to conceal with media and lots of pressure to be among the first ones.  "Alternative" still was a trend bewteen 2009-2013. They came back among these years and had another drive again. I personally believe Garbage don't fit in a model considered alternative.They change everytime something shows up. Don't want to belong in a label. Edited October 27, 2016 by rhyv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
