Fugazi/Eve 6/Limp Bizkit: A Beautiful Coincidence

a re-run of the Scott Weiland/Girls against Boys debacle perhaps

yah that eve 6 track is a total winner. did they have anything else worthwhile?

i miss fun challopy rides with anthony miccio.

"Here's To The Night" (I think that was it - the video is a bunch of college/high-school kids at a party) isn't bad

i completely adore that eve 6 song

ouch.

from back when music was real

^^that comment is the one that made go 'is this what getting old feels like'

cuz i mean... i remember 1998, and i dont remember anyone going 'this is the realest music of all possible worlds'

Today I listened to the heart in a blender song and noticed that the drummer is really much better than necessary, and learned that he's the son of Don Was.

I think they did the thing where their management hires a new drummer for the first album.

"Better than necessary" suggests that you're way too used to hearing shitty drummers all the time

That would totally make sense, gotta have a session ringer for that major label debut. I guess the surprising part is that he apparently toured & stuck around for a long time.

I mean, it was the '90s. A lot of those bands had great drummers, but you didn't necessarily have to be amazing to be in a decent alt rock band. The drum part could have been a lot more basic on that song but there's all this hi-hat shit that's cool but also doesn't call attention to itself.

Anyway songs don't have drummers anymore, drumming is just for impressing people on social media

the drums on "inside out" are really great, i noticed that when i listened to it for the first time in forever too

it's been a hoot but eve 6 can go back to the used cd bin they came from

otm

Not to play captain save an Eve 6 here, but this was definitely not a case of solely bringing in the ringer for a major label debut:

While attending the University of Southern California at the age of 18, he auditioned for a band from La Crescenta, California called Eleventeen (eventually to become Eve 6) to replace their drummer. A fan at the time of the Fox TV show The X-Files, Fagenson and singer Max Collins were inspired to name the band Eve 6 after seeing the X-Files episode "Eve" while recording their first album. Tony played on and co-wrote the 4 Eve 6 albums released between 1998-2012

I just remembered something about how their drummer was someone different for a while and then they got a better drummer. Perhaps I'm also misremembering they were signed while still in high school. idk it's been a while since I saw that 120 Minutes episode and/or read the "20 under 20" issue of Request magazine from summer 1998 so I probably got some details mixed up.

Then maybe it's the reverse, having Don Was as your dad can't hurt when trying to get signed.
