This album never got the exposure it deserved, it was unwisely
never released in europe (for god sakes! release it in Europe!). And
although I've heard one song on the radio a few times, I know it
never got heavy airplay. I'm hoping the live album will get
released someday...
Humm..how to describe Snot...Hardcore meets porno music? Eh, I
donno...what I do know is that Snot was unique, can't say I know of
any other band that sounds like them...
A "typical" Snot song (if there is such a thing) will have heavy
hardcore-like shit going on, then all of a sudden it'll break into
this laid back drum rhythm with a guitar part with fucked up
effects that could very well fit in the background of a porn flick...
(you've gotta hear this band)
The vocals go from a whisper to some heavy screaming, very melodic,
and very bizzare guitar parts...and some fancy drummin' here and
there.
Favorites on this album (and there are many) include "I Jus' Lie",
"Joy Ride", and "Snooze Button"
Snot grew on me (haha, you know what I mean) when they were touring
with Machine Head back in 1997, I saw them 3 times then...by the
time they came around on the Ozzfest in '98 I was hooked. There
was Lynn's infamous onstage blow job stunt in MA that landed him
in a bit of trouble..Then followed a tour with Soulfly...I saw them
last on Aug 7th, 1998 (Lynn's birthday) I remember him being drunk
and doing South Park impressions...But that's the last time I'll ever
get to see Snot, because (if anyone doesn't already know) Lynn and
his dog Dobbs died in a car crash.
The other guys still going on, Mikey is currently playing guitar in
SoulFly, and Sonny and John are in Amen. And hopefully a live Snot
album will be released (dedicated to Lynn of course) in the near
future.
