The first was supposedly deemed too bloody and graphic by MTV, so they went and made one that was as sunny and clean as possible -- puppies and all. I'd love to believe this ... but it's probably crap. Great band, though.</p> Not sure if it was just another of one of Speedo’s tall tales, but allegedly this is the second video the band shot for “On a Rope.” The first was supposedly deemed too bloody and graphic by MTV, so they went and made one that was as sunny and clean as possible — puppies and all.

I have to say, as much as I love Scream, Dracula, Scream, Live From Camp X-Ray still rides high on my playlists.</p> That RFTC Beach House performance was probably the only saving grace of world-class tool Carson Daly’s tenure.

Until just now, I had forgotten that I even saw Foo Fighters, because Rocket was THAT good. What a band.</p> I saw RFTC open for Foo Fighters in 1997.

Let me clarify, I think the only reason these two bands around is persistence, not talent.

BTW, anyone get the RFTC tattoo? I have the ring but the tattoo was too much for me.

Both Jehu and RFTC shows were amazing for different reasons. And the guys in the bands ridiculously cool too. Man, after seeing this video I miss those bands and that scene. Especially when I see P.O.D. and Pinback still around (both from San Diego as well).</p> Working in an indie record store in San Diego back then was fun.
