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.

I have to say, as much as I love Scream, Dracula, Scream, Live From Camp X-Ray still rides high on my playlists.

Until just now, I had forgotten that I even saw Foo Fighters, because Rocket was THAT good. What a band.

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).

And goddamn was that ever something.

They were one of the first bands I fell head over heels for. I mean I've liked bands, but they marked my first downright obsession.

Hot Snakes started this millennium out reminding everybody what rock really is. Those of us who know took notice and give thanks.
