I saw them in Peoria, Illinois in 1995. Me and my buddy ran in to them at a pizza place before the show and had a beer with the band and Todd asked us if we would help with security during the show so we got to be right behind the rail next to the stage the whole show and had beers with them after the show. One of my best memories of the 90's.
For real though! I’ve had to go back and jam the bands I listened to when I was a kid. You always picture what they would look like and sometimes you’re on point like with this band and others not so much.
two hit wonders. After their first album, the sales were poor leaving their label no choice but to refuse their third album because the band sucked. No, they are not underrated. They are terrible
@@carl5381 the entire rubberneck album was dope as hell what are you talking about? Way worse bands got much more coverage than them. I get they’re not your cup of tea but they weren’t terrible. They weren’t making their label money so they got cut.. that’s business and sucks that creativity should get hindered by a label
What a great band from the 90's. Saw them live at the Stone Pony in 1995 or 6, cant remember... but the show was awesome, band had great energy. Bass player rules.
I saw them about 3 or so years ago live, they seriously sound as good live as they do on record, even after all these years. Super humble guys, appreciated everyone for showing up and were just all around amazing. I can't give them enough respect. Dare I say they sounded better when I went to their show than I've ever heard them.They played at a Crawfish Festival in Spring, Texas and were the main act.
I used to stay up to watch live performances... recorded on VHS tapes... This was "The John Stewart Show"... that guy had some of the best guests and the live bands that played were varied and bordering GENIUS... One of my favorites was this one (It was "Possum Kingdom" (main) and the outro song was "Mister Love"! Ran out that weekend and bought the cassette! (It could have been a weekday... I dunno... booze, herb and Pepsi make things a bit fuzzy) Rubberneck is A perfect album no fillers! I don't know about you guys_ "I Come From The Water" and "I Burn", are my favorites... Hum, Girls Against Boys, Helmet, Faith No More, An amazing version of of "Seasons In The Abyss"! Quicksand were on it for all sake! Danzig while THE MIGHTY CHUCK BISCUITS still on drums!... These I lost however the memory is still strong and will never leave... Toadies have been one of my favorite bands... Todd has a voice as individual as the late great Layne Staley... Listen to the live album they put out, as good a testament to the greatness! I'm gonna shut up now... ALL HAIL TOADIES!!!
Oh this was so my jam back in the day!!! This song catapults me right back to what I was going thru at the time! So crazy how music does that. Bitchen band! This whole album rocked!
There was so much good music around Denton in the 90’s. I love how the Toadies promote the other local De ton bands The bassist has a Caulk shirt on here and the drums have a Baboon sticker in the music video.
i saw Vaden Lewis with Burden Brothers in the early 2000s at Bleacher's in LUbbock and they made Toadies look like beginners. Burden Brothers rocked, too bad they were hitting it up at the end of an era.
Love Bush. But they blew them Brits off the stage. Boy, I also heard they gave Gavin so much shit on that tour. Life isn't easy being good-looking guy. Its not.
Was sitting in my car, waiting for the Wife to finally get out of the convenience store (she can shop anywhere) when this came on. That car had a pretty good sound system,and when the riffs started, I cranked it. The gittars, bass line, drumming ,I knew I was listening to a masterpiece. Took me a while to find who did it, and the song title. "Possum Kingdom" who woulda knew? Also a while to figure out the lyrics. Finally the lights came on. Now resides on my top ten list. Oh yeah the Wife dint come out till it was over. Good girl.
Getting that great raw sound (where it's a cross between yelling and singing) is all about breath control and diaphragm strength. Check out the instructional video, "The Art of Screaming," by Melissa Cross. She's worked with dozens of professional vocalists to help improve their technique so they sound great but don't damage their throats. Even if you're not trying to scream like a hardcore or metal vocalist, her breathing techniques are amazing and will carry over to any genre where the singing style is a little hard on the chords. Check it out!
The Zen of Screaming is Melissa Cross. The Art of Screaming is Susan Carr, who trained a lot of the Seattle singers in the early 90's. I have both, and they are great. :)
I miss bands like this. Lead singer plays guitar and has a kick ass voice and a lot of attitude from the lead guitarist getting a little nasty up there. What do we have now? Lead singer pop bands. Pretty depressing
There are still amazing rock bands out there, they just aren't being forcefed to you by mainstream radio and MTV like they used to be. Literally the only difference is mainstream support, quit bitching on the internet because you're to lazy to go find it yourself.
The missed beat every other stanza (or whatever they call it in music) made this song deliciously disturbing! Always thought it was about either a serial killer, vampire or necrophiliac!
its about a vampire i think he's says "let me show you my dark secret " and then "youll stay as beutifull with dark hair and soft skin forever " "make up your mind and I'll promise you i will treat you well my sweet angel " also "do you wanna die?"He's offering her eternity as his undead lover buy making her a vampire
