The Suicidal Tendencies - Cyco or Dud

and skip the 7 minute (ugh) ballad

second half of the show with the stage FULL of fans

Last night I was pondering why the Infectious Grooves Plague That Makes Your Booty Move is never included with that Best of Fall 1991 roundup like Nevermind, Use Your Illusion, Ten, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, and Badmotorfinger. Pretty sure that everyone I knew had a copy of the album. Oh, whither the great funk-metal revolution?

Anyway, ended up watching the music video for Therapy. Had the belated realization that Mike's vocals on the verse are heavily influenced by Joe Jackson's Got the Time. And as if that weren't enough, Robert Trujillo's bass solo feels like a tip of the hat to Bakithi Kumalo's solo in Paul Simon's Call Me Al.

I cannot stop this trip, I forgot to pack the brakes
Crashed straight into a concrete wall of my mistakes
Ended up in a cemetery of a thousand wasted days
But that's alright with me 'cause that's where most of my memory lays

Mike Muir has the weirdest voice, it's thin af and amelodic but they wouldn't sound right with anybody else. it sounded more at home on the s/t but his weird simple melodic whine really fits How Will I Laugh Tomorrow perfectly, and also, well, in my 20s, this was one of the few bands I felt I could identify with in terms of what I was feeling.

I emailed Mike once and he wrote back and he signed it

lol Robert Trujillo's KID is in the band now

lololol my lord

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Suicidal_Tendencies_band_members

i saw suicidal tendencies live last month because my kid wanted to go. I've never really cared about ST but it was a lot of fun. Trujillo's kid is great. Truijillo was standing on the side of the stage taking iphone videos all night.

aww that's amazing.

I'm going on the 29th, it was a Christmas gift to me, where I'm also going to visit my aunt out of town. my cousin, who I haven't seen in 20+ years, is going to be at the show, and my aunt doesn't talk to him anymore.

oooh fun! I haven't seen them since 2017 though and they always put on a phenomenal show. the mosh pit is insane during "Institutionalized"

They were fucking incredible when I saw them in 1990, headlining over Exodus and Pantera, with Rocky George and Robert Trujillo both in the band.

I would have but I was 10

Just got added to this, first London show in a good long while, hyped!
