I've had 'Space Lord' (& all of Powertrip, really, but especially that) on constant rotation lately & I'd been thinking "how in the hell, at a time when White Zombie could fill stadiums, was this not a gigantic single?" And so I looked it up & it turns out it actually kinda was, in its own modest way:
The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart..The music video is notable for being the first video ever aired on MTV's Total Request Live on September 14, 1998.
I guess I just wasn't paying any sort of attention at the time! At any rate, it is a JAM

Aw man, his story about playing Norman Mailer's place is hilarious!

I heard "Teenage Negasonic Warhead" for the first time in ages and was struck that it was a major cop of "Tales of Brave Ulysses" by Cream. Or am I insane?

Scharpling interview was so great. Totally like listening to any old Jersey dude except he saw good bands and had an interesting life.

lead singer in that clip is Daniel Rey, who produced and co-wrote much of the best late-period Ramones stuff.

You mean guitarist?

Sorry, yeah. That's exactly what I meant.

that scharpling interview is awesome. even if you couldn't give two shits about monster magnet, there's great stuff on the 60s/70s music scene, early NYC punk, the similarities between hawkwind and the ramones, etc. I'm 30 minutes in and they haven't even started talking about monster magnet yet.
kinda weird listening to this thing cuz I grew up around the corner from dave, and I spent a lot of evenings in that exact kitchen having the same convos with him. and y'know I still haven't heard most of these chestnuts, he's a bottomless pit of wry observation and batshit rocklife stories.
