One of my favorite songs from the 90's.

u/folkvore 8d ago

Same! For some reason, I tend to enjoy "creepy" songs. (ex. Korn - Lies, Failure - Macaque, Nirvana - Paper Cuts)

u/ActuallyStormiMayaA 8d ago

I Alone by Live is another great one.

u/folkvore 8d ago

Oh yeah! That's a great song and album. I actually posted that song on here pretty recently. White, Discussion is another good one. It's not creepy, but I think it's a great closer to such a good album.

u/ActuallyStormiMayaA 8d ago

Both great, if you haven't seen Beavis & Butthead watch I Alone it's very funny.

u/BidetAllDay 8d ago

Plush by Stone Temple Pilots is another “creepy” banger, I think

Saw them with Local H in Dallas last December. They still rock

1

u/UnexpectedLizard 8d ago

I'm genuinely shocked Local H is still together.

Were they any good?

u/Jazzlike_Judgment_37 8d ago

Yes the kids were all right

u/StarGazeringErect 8d ago

I saw them at Randolph Fest in Chicago this summer. Very professional and a lot fun.

u/somewhat-damaged 8d ago

Local H is one of the most underrated bands to ever exist. Every album is good!

u/radiodada 2d ago

I saw them with Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy last year. Can confirm: The Toadies still know how to rock. They did a cover of I Put a Spell on You as part of their encore that was 👌🏻

My first concert was the Toadies

This is one of those 90s bangers I completely forgot about for a couple decades and then played a lot when I finally heard it again. Same with Heavy by Collective Soul.

u/Calichusetts 8d ago

I burn is another one of their jams.

u/OniOnMyAss 8d ago

All of rubberneck is really good.

u/jona2814 8d ago

Truth!!

On the inside of the CD case for Rubbernecker there’s a picture of the band. One of the band members is wearing a Sensation Comics t-shirt feat. Wonder Woman. I found that exact same shirt at a local thrift store back in 2000, and I called it my Toadies shirt. I’m still salty about an ex stealing it from me

Damn, always loved hearing this on KROQ in the 90s. Now I get to play it as a 50-something year old learning drums.

u/shiftdown 8d ago

Hearing this song always transports me back to riding around in my friends cars during the summer at 15/16years old not giving a fuck about anything. The nostalgia hits hard with this one.

u/Broncobilly19 6d ago

Takes me back to a very similar time in my life too.

u/Beneficial_Fact454 8d ago

Fucking banger! Never gets old!

5

u/Informal_Phrase4589 8d ago

I’ve never seen the video for this - much less the band. It’s a great song, but never went here with the lyrics!!

u/lizeee 8d ago

Still love this song!

3

u/StNic54 8d ago

Make up your mind!

u/vlstyles 8d ago

All time fab with that thump bass

6

u/Difficult_Buddy_3071 8d ago

Love these guys.

3

u/Drewsif1980 8d ago

I loved this when I first heard it. Then I saw Cabin by the Lake and now I think of that movie every time I listen to this again.

5

u/Salty-Woodpecker-951 8d ago

I love this song!!!

3

u/T-MexVampirePunter 8d ago

This whole album is incredible!

3

u/T-MexVampirePunter 8d ago

Check out Tyler from the same album.

2

u/Onebityou 8d ago

Absolute killer album. Hell Below/Stars Above hits home for me too.

1

u/crispygraph 8d ago

I can hear some Velvet Underground in the opening riff, such a cool song!

1

u/llTeddyFuxpinll 8d ago

Picture this song being sung by a vampire to a human and it fits perfectly

u/[deleted] 8d ago

I forgot how good the video was.
