I remember "Weeds" video playing on VHS at the gym in the 90-ties - one of the brightest memories of my teen age. No wonder there's so much love still aorund this band. Only wonderful souls could create album like "Soul Searching Sun". Things have changed now for Caputo? Whatever. The person who creeated this music is still there. There are artists whom it's just impossible to hate - Life Of Agony is a band that can only be loved. Thay've put real emotions, real pain, real frustrations into their music. The joys we have each our own. The pain and sadness are the things that we share and can relate to in common... There's enough hate in this world. Let's support each other and spread love.
I played in a hardcore band for years and always loved LOA and we even got to open for them a couple times and they were one of favorites musically and personally. I will say that anyone who ever met Mina before her transformation would not be shocked at all. A am very happy for her and can tell she is who she wants to be now. Love you Mina and keep rocking because more than anything the most important thing is the words and music. METAL!!!
Love this! So well put. Totally a part of the LOA cult. Joined when I was around 17, still a member 17 years later. Hope to see you guys LIVE again soon. Shout out Joey Z, Alan, and Sal/Dan. Love being a witness to your transition Keith/Mina throughout the years, so beautiful.
I seen life of agony and clutch at the l&g club in New London Connecticut. In 93. Little did I know the singer was in the mosh pit tiny little guy. I got a cross shot to the jaw that literally took my legs out from under me and knocked me senseless . Once I got my bearings back together I was going to get this guy and take his head off his shoulders. Next thing I know he pops up on stage and is the singer of Life of Agony. Now he's a she and I have to deal with that for the rest of my life LOL. You put out great music and it's taking me through a lot of rough times. Although not New York hardcore which I was the biggest fan of you had a lot of soul and deep meaning in your music and thank you
so fuckin much respect for her talking about how she & the band drive their own van on tour and clean the venues and stuff instead of having any roadies 🤘🏻🤘🏻
No one can imagine the inner pain after realizing you are born in the wrong body. I deeply respect Mina for her decision. It takes tons of GUTS to do this and to get back on stage in front of thousands of people. Knowing the reject and disrespect. I´ve grown up with River Runs Red and LOA had a deep impact while going through all the shit those songs are about.
+Jesse Rapkin Precisely 100% exactly the opposite of how I feel, lol. As soon as they got into the harmonies and the creativity is when I realized these guys were for real and I was forever smitten. Maybe this wide appeal is part of their longevity and magick?
+gekkomatic Your post makes no sense. If she's wanted fame, there are easier ways to do it. I don't think Nina has ever made transgenderism the focus of LOA.
2:00 "We are the Godfathers and Godmothers of this shit". So true! Love you Keith/Mina/Nina. Never stop rocking out! Love you so much! Fuck all the haters but you already know that.
I don't care what sex you are. you a cool cool person, be happy, who cares what others think. your music is awesome......proud to wear my L.O.A T-shirt
One of the most beautiful person's I love so much. Views are unscathed an unscapable. Love u forevermore Mina. Will I ever talk to you one day or maybe later in this life time . Your truly blessed. Your wat Dine' means. The people in the Navajo language.
Holländisch....P.s:but the interview in english - yeehaw!;- ) Ps.Ps: ... and totaly right,you are the Godfather/Mother of that shit!this is realy a great thing - and in that case,you've done your work to the world/to us and not lesser to me.Like Elvis with his shit+ with his musik bizz!o yes,you realy are!😘 (and more.)
I love loa/Keith/Mina, but he comes across as a ditzy jersey girl, he was never that spaced out before, the pauses and vocal fry is a stereotype, and as someone who wants trans equal rights, don't be a classic stereotype, it's like a 80's portrayal
This "Guy" change his voice while speaking normal. He has another voice just watch "him" shouting graspop 2015 here on Utube. No tolerance for that SHOW he does here.

Nothing but RESPECT 28 year fan/follower. You Grow Girl, LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
I admire her courage. I admire her as a musician and a human being and I love the band.
I love you and your music, Mina! Just keep doing the stuff you like. Peace out...
Yeah... Up thee ass.

Always will be one of my favorite bands and singer, but I think I will always miss Caputo's vocal style from the first two albums.

Who will believe in this crap?! 40-old man suddenly wants to change the sex. For fame and money? He has never revealed that problem in his lyrics.

that is how she comes across to you. I don't see that at all. I see someone who is comfortable in who they are.
when did she uh swap her gender?
That is one f-ed up voice...
Pretty girl!
*NOPE*
Yah really
She's so damn tiny
And yet sucha great person,right?
Norunormii she's a good egg and such
*HE*
I want Keith back. Sorry Mina

Niknarg It's usually the guitarist shouting into the crowd. Plus who would "shout" their responses in an interview lol.
