Loved All. Lived in Ft Collins when Chad and Jon from Armchair Martian formed Drag the River. Saw that band more times than I can count. Watched Jon and Chad multiple times at Lucky Joe's. Great times
Cool clip from the past! ALL had three incredibly talented and awesome singers. My personal favorite being Scott Reynolds. Not sure of the guys status these days but I hope they would put one more album out some day as ALL.
This was their brass ring. They grabbed it and ran! It sustains them (and The Descendants) to this day. They may not have made a killing, but they're making a living!
emf emf everybody says they want a million bucks. They got it. They built a studio in Ft. Collins CO, wrote a song about it and performed it on Conan. The rest is... Well maybe not history. Infamy maybe?
They make a good living from the Blasting Room/any touring they do with Descendents. But either way, look at the insane amount of great bands they worked with/great records they’ve made at the Blasting Room. I’d do that for free.
I actually heard ALL before Descendents. When I got Everything Sucks in 1996, I thought “These guys sound a lot like ALL”. Then I looked in the liner notes for the members, and hot damn was I surprised!
UNCLE CRITIC IS A GREAT SONG.... Pummel is a good album, but it's not breaking things OR Allroys Revenge. But even these guys worse song is still better then 80% of what is out there now a days.
I don't like uncle critic that much, and I've never been huge on pummel, but that band is awesome. my favorite albums are sez, revenge, for prez, saves, breaking things, and mass nerder.
Back then popular music was much more of a down-to-earth thing. Just making good music, writing a kick ass song, and that was enough for a while. No doubt there were some people who didn't know just how much ALL had to do with shaping the day's popular alternative rock sound. ALL and bands like them are what is missing right now in mainstream music.
Neo Jeo Dude, All was never mainstream. They played mostly on college radio and a few metal stations, not top 40 or even rock stations. Top 40 in the 90's was artists like Janet jackson, Paula Abdul, Vanilla Ice. Rock bands was Nirvana, Gun N' Roses, Aerosmith, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam.
I'm referring to a time where a band like ALL could land a major label deal, which they did, and get a shot at appearing on a show like Conan O Brien, which they did. As short lived as it was, they got their licks in the spotlight. This was when it was about taking a chance with real alternative music, before Korn and other shit bands like Bush and the strictly derivative muck became the only sound the record labels pushed out there. Believe me I know.
+Neo Jeo well the accolades go to descendents more than all. and every singer pretty much tries to be half the singer milo was....but im so glad steve and the gang didnt end it when milo went to college
I wonder what the crowd reaction was. Also this video is a perfect example of an amazing song finally being heard without the original record's honestly bad mixing. Really wish the CD sounded like this
