The story I've always heard is that the band broke up after the bassist (and his parents) were killed by a drunk driver. I always liked the sung vocals. The vocals added variety to their sound, gave the music more of a southern feel, and made them stand out from other sludge metal bands. Fun fact: The CW show iZombie used one of Dax Riggs' songs for their intro. I only bring it up because the idea of the Acid Bath vocalist having a song featured on The CW just feels so bizarre to me.
"Mothers cool reptilian womb" - Acid Bath - Bleed Me An Ocean Paegan Terrorism Tactics is basically my favorite Acid Bath album. The heaviness from Audie, Sammy, Mike and Jimmy is still in the album while Dax is having a more Soul vocals in the album.
I love how americans will just have a custom plate of their interests and fandoms, meanwhile in my country if you see a custom plate, it means you're driving next to a mafia member or football manager.
The Tool comparison rant is so spot on. People will hear one 7/8 riff amd some whispery vocals and its immediately Tool to them. That's why people say all Tool songs sound the same too, because they find one vibe and generalize everything to fit in
Love the show guys. Melvins & Slayer best episodes yet. Was SO excited to see you finally got to Acid Bath. But then you practically took a sh@! On one of the greatest metal bands of all time. One of the greatest vocalists of all time and 2 perfect albums. Wtf guys!?!?!? I disagree with you a lot from time to time but man, you even described some of their songs as goth??? I cannot believe my ears. Anyways, still love ya. But you two were 85% WRONG this go around!!! Lol
The name Aicd Bath actually comes from another band that had the same name in New Orleans but they were inactive at the time and and were more of a Joke Band and they got the permission from members of that band to use the name Acid Bath.
Alex is right about the tears for fears prog ending to "head over heels" lmao 😅. Good episode fellows i tried over the years but i cant stand sludge and stoner metal.

Oh hell yeah! Acid Bath is badass! I passed a guy today who had the license plate “ACDBTH”.

Aw yeah! What a great Tuesday
I did not expect this episode at all but sooner or later i guess. One of my alltime fav bands.

What a fucking band
32:34 My favorite Band being mentioned on one of my favorite Podcasts nice 🤪🤣

Dax is right up there with Mike Patton for my favourite singer. His solo stuff is great too, very different from Acid Bath though
fuck yea I love this band; thanks for more!

YOU GUYS COVERED ACID BATH?!?
Ok i'll watch the video now and if you don't like them i will be angry
Did they name their band after the Alien Sex Fiend album?

Hey Mike, stop gasping for air into the microphone. Just breathe through your nose, it's not too hard.
Says you. This damn thing is useless.
