MGB's 2001 MuchMore Music Bio now on Youtube in its entirety.

[MatthewGoodFan101]

I found the MGB MuchMore Music Bio from 2001 and uploaded it to Youtube. The whole Bio hasn't been available on Youtube since like 2009. For those of you who want to watch it, here it is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I needed to edit the video a bit to avoid showing too much MGB music video footage (especially from the Apparitions video). The Bio includes Matt and members of Our Lady Peace talking about Matt's comments about OLP, which is really interesting to watch considering the band is now doing a whole tour together.

That was great, thanks for sharing!

Very cool. Seen a lot of snippets of this but never the full episode. Thanks for the link

It's unreleased. It's called Sharks of Downtown.

I remember reading a while back that Geoff Lloyd (RIP) had a copy of the whole song on VHS. Does anyone know if anything ever came of that? There's a lot of stuff from the MuchMusic days that I think has been lost to time.

I am working on something for all of you at the moment that will include the complete video of Sharks Of Downtown among others.  stay posted.

Here's a crack at the lyrics for Sharks of Downtown.  I will say this is probably 80% right, there are some things that are hard to make out and somethings that I probably think I nailed but will turn out I was totally off base on, but this should be pretty close.  

 

I dream of Dolphins all the time 
Casual palm trees don't do well in my backyard 
I drink cocktails with rum 
Sit in the sun, casually undone 
The fish never move on my shower curtains 

The Sharks of downtown 
Wear dolphin skin suits and they 
hold on to girls who didn't listen
when their mothers told them not to see 
guys like me
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

I dream of dolphins all the time
? Nuclear submarines 
They will dream about you and I 
Not like this guy 
Not today, Not today 

The Sharks of Downtown 
Wear blackened turtle necks 
and hold on to words
I was gonna use to tell you about 
guys like me 
Going nowhere 
Going nowhere

See you lying in the shower nothing happens 
I'm glad to pay our debt 
to the realm of human beings 
and tomorrow I'll try the game 
and keep searching for the dolphin
the same as all, all these seas  

I'm nervous when I'm next to you 
I am nervous when I'm not 
Cause after everything is said and done 
you're just looking to get caught 
and the engine ? 
It's all the same
It's all the same thing 

Yippie Kai ai eh 
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh

I think about it all the time 
That's the rule 
When you are what you eat
But not what they preach

I won't dream about you and I 
Not like this guy 
Not today,
No not today, 
No not today, no

The Sharks of Downtown
Wear dolphin skin suits and they 
Own all the earth 
Or at least the one that was made in seven days 
Guys like me are going nowhere 
Going nowhere 

Yippie Kai ai eh 
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh

That is so frickin cool, man! Love the Die Hard lyrics, lol. Really looking forwards to watching/hearing this and to reading about how you got a hold of it. Good for you :)

He was going to send it to me to digitize, but he never got around to it. RIP

Just out of curiosity, any chance you'd be able to give us an estimate of how long you think it will be before you're done converting and uploading? Not trying to be impatient, but just want to manage my expectations, lol.

I second this, haha! Eager beaver ...

[adam_777]

Sorry guys patience will have to be of the essence here. What ive found is a large collection of video material throughout Matt's career. a portion of it is stuff none of us here have ever seen before. The material  is being collected from a few sources and being sent to me. As I do not have any of it yet it is naturally impossible to give a time frame. All I can do is wait until I receive it all then I can do my part aling with another member here to get it out to you.  What I have right now are samples sent to me to verify the material in the collection. This includes the entire video of Sharks. i have not been given permission to share yet so im not going to jeopardize getting several hours worth of footage by jumping the gun on a couple minutes worth of samples. Hang tight the material is coming but an ETA is out of my control at the moment

[GhettoAstronaut]

We've waited this long, I'm sure we can all hold on a little longer! Adam when this is all said and done you'll be immortalized in MG history

hmm, very interesting. I wonder if it is from Much Music, MuchMoreMusic, a record label, or a family member of one of the guys from Matthew Good Band.

Sounds absolutely amazing.  The archives we have all been waiting for.

Fair enough. Thanks for the update, Adam, and thanks for putting in the effort to get this stuff in the first place. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say it means a lot. Good luck with the process. 

[Jessafur]

Adam, you are a God among men for doing this for all of us, as well as everything else you've done in the past. I cannot thank you enough for what you have offered out to this community; it means the world to me as I'm sure it does everyone else. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your outstanding contributions here!

[NationofCool]

Thanks for doing this, Adam!

I hear some slight differences. Wonder if anyone else hears the same:

I dream of Dolphins all the time 
and as a rule: palm trees don't do well in my backyard 
I drink cocktails with rum 
Sit in the sun, casually undone 
The fish never move on my shower curtains 

The Sharks of downtown 
Wear dolphin skin suits and they-
they own all the girls who didn't listen
when their mothers told them about
guys like me
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

I dream of dolphins all the time
and as a rule: with that better judgement
with the nuclear submarines 
They will dream about you and I 
Not like this guy 
Not today, no Not today, no

The Sharks of Downtown 
Wear blackened turtle necks 
and they own all the words
I was gonna use to tell you about 
guys like me 
Going nowhere 
Going nowhere
? (almost muttered vocals)

See you lying in the shower nothing happens 
I'm glad that they are deaf
to the realm of human ears
and tomorrow I'll try re-behaving(?)
and keep searching for the dolphin
and the same song - all these years 

Well I'm nervous when I'm next to you 
I am nervous when I'm not 
Cause after everything is said and done 
you're just looking to get caught 
in the end you're gonna leave here
feet first
It's all the same
It's all the same thing 

Yippie Kai ai eh 
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh
Yippie Kai ai eh

I think about it all the time 
And as a rule 
When you are what you eat
But not what they preach

I won't dream about you and I 
Not like this guy 
Not today,
No not today, 
No not today, no

The Sharks of Downtown
Wear dolphin skin suits and they 
Own all the earth 
Or at least the one that was made in seven days 
Guys like me are going nowhere 
Going nowhere
