I got to see them here in UK they played Reading I think in mid 90s. I was the only English guy who knew their stuff. I could never understand why they weren't bigger. I think maybe their dress sense was too good for the time everyone grungey and low profile and check shirts and that sloppy genx stuff. When I saw them they had glitter suits and werre TOTALLY FUCKIN' ROCK NROLL!!!!!!!!111yEAh

Lucky enough to see them live at a taping of the old Jon Stewart show.

Blackie O was awesome. I saw these guys in 95 and Blackie O came out from behind the drum kit to sing Drop Out. He was swigging from a big bottle of Jack Daniels and at the end of the song he turned around and started smashing it down on one of the crash cymbals. One of the best shows I've seen.

they had style.... they had an edge.... they had attitude...... and they had the fuckin' tunes to back all that shit up

These songs in the '94 MTV were woven into a tapesrty of perfection spear-headed and fueled by the success of Nirvana.

Now I want an 8 ball!!!!

Man this song totally reminds me of good times, good tunes, and good beers. I certainly had less responsibilities then. Let's bring back the 90's!!!

My Pop music interests actually date back to the late 60`s and 70`s; and the "Grunge" period (by my estimation) often had "dull periods" when there wasn`t much that seemed very impressive getting airplay. During those times, when there WOULD be an especially good song, I would actively "hunt" for an airing of it on MTV during cable TV browsing sessions. This was DEFINITELY one of those songs.
