I was so over the moon, but I’m extremely loud and stopped the show for a moment so Mina could tell me I was loud. I apologized. She thanked me. I desperately wanted to hug her and thank her for existing. These folks and her voice saved my life time and time and time again as a teen. I am glad I got to leave with a largely memorable moment. I’m not much of a fangirl, but I mean…I’ve been listening to them since I was 14 or so, so I absolutely fangirl for LoA. Mina is just a stellar human. Over the years, I’ve kept an eye on her, had a couple of exchanges with her, and I’ve been impressed by her at every pass.

I first heard of them on a Beavis and Butt-Head episode in '96

Spent many nights with RRR on full blast on repeat with a 64 ounce of St Ides, and a pack of Parliament sitting on 110 Street in Richmond Hill Queens.

Agony was my soundtrack in high school. Growing up in a suburb of Boston I would see them at least ten times a year between Boston, providence, Worcester and Hartford in the years 92-95. Joey Z was the coolest, Keith was always standoffish but funny as hell when he wanted to be. I fell out when soul searching son came out. The transgender thing never bothered me but honestly his voice was never the same.

Saw them in 1995, became a fan that day. The bill was Life of Agony, Deftones, and Anthrax. Great show! Would only see them once more in 1997 with Cannibal Corpse, Anthrax, and the Misfits.

Sal is and has been my favorite drummer. The first time I heard his style and creativity especially the subtle differences from Type O’s SDAH to OOTF is awesome and that breakdown in TOO LATE FROZEN blew my mind as a 15 year old drummer. I tabbed out all his beats on notebook paper and studied them. Then when I heard how he augmented the songs of LOA. It really opened my eyes to songwriting.

I don’t remember when I first heard of LOA, but the first time I heard their music was actually in 2011 when Heaven Shall Burn covered “River Runs Red.”

I’m 43 and been a fan since I first heard them in 93 . They played my life’s story and it made me get through my teenage years and 20’s . I still play the r.r.r album frequently. I’m happy for Keith/meena . He/she’s living how she feels and is happy it seems.

Wife of Agony.....

nice to see u included a cut from Budapest, keep it up

The River Runs Red album is legendary. Sal Abruscato's drumming is amazing on it.

I am 45 and only have 1 tattoo and its the LOA circle of skulls logo from River Runs Red . Love that band still . after River I thought they got kinda weak at first because it wasn't the same and caught me off guard , but soon I fell in love with ALL of their stuff !!!! The songs Here I Am ,Here I Stay and Drowning from the 1989-1999 album are two of my favorites

I had heard Life of Agony on a metal show on the radio on 97.7 HTZFM in St Catharines around 1997. I also remember Weeds getting some overnight play on the station and hearing This Time from River Runs Red, on their metal show Beyond 11. In 1998, I had heard all of River Runs Red for the first time and I loved the music and the 3 sketches. I wonder who the yelling mother was! I had heard that the boss who left a message on the answering machine was their manager, from an interview with Alan Robert last year.

I vividly remember Keith Caputo, jumping off the bus, running right over to me, and pleading for a "boys room", back then, before going double 0 chromosomally abident, ha, man, met everyone over the years at my club - clubs, LaMour, C.B.G.B.s, The Rat, Troubadour, Seriously, Keith could sing his ass off! Great video!

I loved LOA since the 90s and I had to do a double-take during that “Office” episode like WAIT WAS THAT REALLY LIFE OF AGONY??

Saw L.O.A for the first time on a promotional (acoustic) tour for Soul Searching sun, got to hang with the band, Next i saw them at Ozzfest, with Whitfield Crane, he did quite a good job. Seen them three or four times since and always liked them. Saw Joey play with Carnivore (last time i saw Pete Steele perform live, 2008 i think). Love all those New York bands.. Type O, L.O.A, Biohazard, Pist On, S.O.I.A, seen them all plenty of times... a unique sound (Mr666, 90s kid, UK).

Thank you. This is first Class Content, Greets from Germany. Super Interesting Story of Life of Agony. Makes me actually want to listen to their Stuff.

That's cool you got into LOA through the show! I was cracking up when I heard that song being played. Ugly is one of my first and oldest albums, I was about 12 years old. Like a lot of the other early albums, but one of my all time favorite albums. More than one member was in a band with Pete btw!!

One of my favorite bands of all time. Got to see them at an OzzFest. Loved it!

Fun fact The band Evan was in before he would be in biohazard ,threw him out because he was an untrustworthy drug addict and was NOT from the streets BUT a hippie from an upper middle class Jewish family.

I heard them for the first time on festival, so much energy on their show. Also Joey riffs are so cool. But I heard about Keith some time before when he recorded song with Within Temptation

LOA has kinda a strange place when it comes to my list of favorite bands. I can't think of another band that I have a similar connection to. Where I absolutely love their "river runs red" album from start to finish, it's definitely in my top 10 albums of all time. But other than a couple of songs here and there over the years I can't say that I’ve ever really go into any of their other albums. I can't really say why, even with some of their more recent albums where they went back to having more of a "river runs red" sound but they just didn't grab me even I was hoping they would. I can't think of another band that I would consider one of my all time favorites but when taking out that one album they're no longer even on the list.

Great coverage. I never knew the close ties Life Of Agony had with Type O Negative. Wow

Raybeez was in the crowd dancing when the band started playing. Not uncommon but this cat was wearing some bib overalls and some leather work mule gloves, this shit was hardcore for real!

That's the key right there -"not pushing it on anyone". When I was 18, I worked for a company whose owner was bi and lived with 3 of the most flamboyant, stereotypical gay men you'd ever see. The shop was in the basement of their house, so I was around them alot. They knew I was straight and not once did they ever say or do anything that was crossing the line. Total respect on both sides. and smashed the stereotypes that I was brought up with. But the current LGBTQ agenda of cramming it down everyone throats at every turn has probably made more people intolerant than accepting. You see it with hyper religious people as well. I have my own beliefs and things that I support, but I'm not on a mission to convert people to my way of thinking because it's what works for me or tell them they're wrong because they don't see things through my eyes. Don't know why that's such a hard thing for some to grasp.

Would've been cool to hear about the different drummers they've had. The band wasn't just Keith /mina, Joey and alan

I got into them in '93ish Snowboarding videos had their music. I think it was Creatures of Habit 2? Unique band sound back then, even now.

Early band to be from New York to sing and not yell. Most heavy bands didn’t sing, only the emerging grunge bands did. Unique group to have a New York style without being actual NYHC or thrash metal. It’s hard to write the pronunciation but it’s La- MOUR . The strong accent is on the MOUR. Not a strong accent on the “LA” . It sounds almost like two words as opposed to one

From an Old Hardcore Fan. ❤
