Mega mentioned Angel Dust in another threat which reminded me of a relatively unsung FNM tune

[riffblaster general]

[emceeQ]

So great.  Stoked to go see them on Thursday…

Jesus Christ that bass drum mounted tom looks like a floor tom.  Reminds me of Dale Crover's (Melvins) drum set.  Or Bonzo….

[xtcclassic]

Oddly enough, I'll be seeing the Melvins there soon. And RBG, I have yet to meet the rest of the band (other than quick introductions) but Andrew I've known for years. Good dude.

XTC….  jon and ricky are two of the funniest people i've ever known.  Steve is one of the nicest people ever.  I've been friends with him since he was in Floor.

Since you mentioned Junior Kimbrough, I feel obligated to mention the Chulahoma EP by the Black Keys.  A quick set of Kimbrough covers that even Junior's wife liked.

[mclaincausey]

Yep, it's a great tribute. Love the Keys.

[seanocono]

Yeah, that's a cool EP.

Angel Dust by Faith No More is 21 years old this weekend, this was the soundtrack to my youth. Where does the time go?
