The Angriest Woman In Rock
In the mid-1990s, Alanis Morissette shocked the music industry by transforming from a discarded Canadian teen pop star into the voice of a generation with the massively successful album *Jagged Little Pill*. After being dropped by her label, she teamed up with producer Glen Ballard in an earthquake-damaged studio to record raw, angry demos that terrified major label executives. We break down how Guy Oseary and Madonna’s Maverick Records saved the project, and the specific moment Flea and Dave Navarro from the Red Hot Chili Peppers added the heavy groove to her iconic breakup anthem, “You Oughta Know.” From the O.J. Simpson chase happening outside the window to the battle against Warner Brothers to keep the rough “scratchy” takes, this is the true story behind one of rock’s most famous reinventions.

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu

I'm glad I got to see her at a smaller venue before Jagged Little Pill totally blew up and she was doing arenas.

Another great vid! Most breakup songs are thoughts on paper. You Oughta Know is thoughts you usually keep to yourself while ripping up pictures and burning love letters.

I was never a musician- but all my friends were and they always had the best takes and insights on bands and songs. Your delivery, sarcasm and bluntness when needed reminds me of the late 90's… hanging out at a Denny's at 2 am BSing with my friends after a show. Except now I cant dip my superbird in ranch because my cholesterol is way too high for such shenanigans.

Great video! This album is filled with core memories of the mid 90's. I still remember making a cassette copy from my sister's Jagged Little Pill CD.

I felt that damn earthquake all the way in L.A. I think Ironic is goofy, so I changed the lyrics: "It's like rain, on a rainy day. It's like finding the girl of your dreams, except she's dead. It's like getting a spork, when all you need is a spatula. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?"

Love the channel but I F$%^$&$ hated that album. Her voice was like rusty icepicks in my ears.
Cracking her voice every two seconds just drove me nuts. Bitter chick music i couldn't get away from in the 90s.
Thank you Sublime for helping me through that $h!tshow. And none of it was ironic at all.

Her goofy little harmonica solo in "Head Over Feet" is one of my favorite musical moments.

I was living in LA in 95 and listening to KROQ. I bought the CD and played it none stop. I remember telling my friend in Denver about it, she hasn't heard it, it wasn't being played there yet.

ive got "you oughta know" on my regular rotation of music. something about it hits so hard. the anger and the passion is palpable. it makes me angry about being broken up with like it just happened, and that hasnt happened to me in over 10 years. its pure sonic magic and i sing that shit out loud.

We all have to HYPE this channel! This guy deserves to be blown up! You will notice that other channels, popular music channels, will make a version of this video within the next week. GMS needs to get the exposure all the other rip offs have. The best way to do that is the like and HYPE all the videos you can. If anyone is new to this channel, check out the back catalog. This channel is non stop brilliant music journalism and history. The HYPE option resets every Monday. HYPE the Monday and Tuesday videos. GMS uploads everyday. This dude is dedicated to his audience, to us… Lets blow this channel the fuck up! HYPE!

Huge album, big tour. The Morissette/Lashey/Tobias/Cheney/Hawkins line-up was crazy good. Gary Novak took over briefly on drums after Taylor went to FF.
