Discover the fascinating story of Life of Agony, a band whose roots trace back to the hardcore scene but evolved into a unique blend of alternative metal. Formed in 1989, the band's early years were marked by personal struggles and musical experimentation, culminating in their debut album "River Runs Red" in 1993, a groundbreaking conceptual narrative touching on theme of personal suffering.
Despite facing challenges and lineup changes over the years, including the departure of original vocalist Keith Caputo, the band continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories with albums like "Ugly" and "Soul Searching Sun." In 2003, they embarked on a series of reunion shows and eventually released their fourth album, "Broken Valley," in 2005.
The band's journey took a significant turn in 2011 when Caputo came out as transgender, transitioning to Mina Caputo. This momentous event brought both personal and professional changes for the band, yet they persevered, releasing albums like "A Place Where There's No More Pain" in 2017 and "The Sound of Scars" in 2019, the latter serving as a sequel to their iconic debut.
With a rich history spanning over three decades, Life of Agony remains a powerful force in the alternative metal scene, continuing to create music that resonates with audiences worldwide. Stay tuned as they embark on new musical endeavors and celebrate milestones like the 30th anniversary of "River Runs Red" with commemorative tours and documentaries. Subscribe to our channel for the latest updates on Life of Agony's journey.
Another tired comment here to say River Runs Red is an absolutely incredible album. But I’ll be controversial and say that they actually peaked with Ugly.
Ugly is so under rated....but even raise you to Broken Valley. It was different, but great. Hell, the newer A place where there's no pain is great and has RRR feeling.
@@geeveisaacs2476 I really don't like how Keith's voice changed after Ugly. I really wanted to like Broken Valley, but I just don't. There's something missing. Maybe it's Sal? Maybe it's their spent youth? I dunno. I have the same issue with Soul Searching Sun. Bar a few songs, it is a very forgettable album.
Hung out with Joey Z on their tour bus when I was 16 and he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He encouraged me to never give up being a musician and said that there was no difference between him and I, and if I didn’t quit that I’d make it.
How'd you do? 45 and still at it myself, almost on Eulogy with Unearthin 2000, but in between bands,,...... and in a way Genders..... I connected with LOA RRR ALOT before I had a clue.
@@KelticKabukiGirl I made it far enough to be happy. Played in a few local bands and switched to drums at age 28, ended up getting offered a spot playing drums on a national tour but my family was getting sick by that time so I had to decline the offer. My entire family passed within one year so I felt that I made the right choice. It was enough for me to have gotten the opportunity to play in a well known band at the time. Edit: I’m 46 so pretty much the same age.
@@richardaaron4454 where did you live? I was in Since the Fall from 97-2000 and we gigged up and down the Northeast. We may have gigged together
Did he impregnate you on that bus ?
Still love listening to the album River Runs Red on the regular! So many good songs on there
TRUE THAT...😊
Yep, amazing album front to back.
I’ve got it on vinyl, sounds so good!
It's an amazing album, but I can't take them seriously any more.
I always found Ugly and Soul Searching Sun better then the first album, the songs are much deeper. Also their last album Sound of Scars is also amazing!
River Runs Red is one of the greatest albums ever made, got to see LoA open for Type O back in the day, so glad I did
Ugly is even better than RRR though, so is Soul Searching Sun!
I've played with LOA a bunch of times. Fantastic group and people. You failed to mention their current drummer, Veronica Bellino, who in her own right is a awesome drummer, multi-instrumentalist and great person.
I didn't know they had a new one, IS she also trans or Cis? This is my Deadname account and in HS I was DEEPLY COnnected to RRR, years before I knew why. What era did you gig with them? I ended up gigging with some giants myself!
O.O They have a new drummer!?!? I got to see them in Manchester, NH in the mid-2000s…like a decade after I started listening. I was so over the moon, but I’m extremely loud and stopped the show for a moment so Mina could tell me I was loud. I apologized. She thanked me. I desperately wanted to hug her and thank her for existing. These folks and her voice saved my life time and time and time again as a teen. I am glad I got to leave with a largely memorable moment. I’m not much of a fangirl, but I mean…I’ve been listening to them since I was 14 or so, so I absolutely fangirl for LoA. Mina is just a stellar human. Over the years, I’ve kept an eye on her, had a couple of exchanges with her, and I’ve been impressed by her at every pass.
She can't even do a simple fill. The songs are so plain now without the actual musicianship that Sal put into them.
@@KelticKabukiGirl your “deadname account”? 🙄
She sucks 😂
@5:05 - "You went to "L'Amour", Saturday night. Red nails and lipstick, dress two sizes too tight" - Peter Steele
"So I sit home, stroking my bone. Empty bottle in my hand." - Pete's sometimes modified live version of the lyric.
Listen up now… (YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!) I’m gonna sing you a little song: “I’m in the moooood for Love… simply because you’re near me. Whhhehhennnn..”
@@infectedgoat7775 (out of tune but trying to get in tune with his Boss Tuner pedal); "I'm out of tune? I'm not outta tune you're outta tune. Ok, well this is as good as it's gonna get so....".
@@jackshittle HAHAAHA (off mic) let’s get this sh*t over with… EEEEEEE AGONY AND ECSTASY!
5 Minutes Later…
“Yeah you’re all gonna have to leave the club bc someone called in a bomb threat… so instead of standing here lookin’ at me why dontya turn around and walk out the door?”
@@infectedgoat7775 👍perfect!
Sal is a monster on the kit
I always wondered if anyone else caught that in the "Office". Still 1 of my favorite bands.
I remember listening to LOA, Pantera, White Zombie, Biohazard, Vision of Disorder and Agnostic Front in high school. Very surprised to see a video on LOA.
This is a big chunk of my teenage years.Studio 1 in Newark NJ..Life of agony,type o,dog eat dog,25 ya life.Good times.
You MIGTH have seen my old band, we played NJ a bit, I gigged with 25 Ta Life and COming Correct, and like a ton of bands, my first opening paid gig was Madball at 15 in 1994. We also gigged with Dillinger Escape Plan without a name, then with a name and the self-titled EP, then The Show they were scouted to Relapse. Took Unearth on their first mini-tour, Hellfest, Boston Metalfest99, and Almost signed to Eulogy with Unearth but Skinhead Riots killed the local scene and Band. I was the guitarist and composer of Since the Fall (97-2000)from Reading PA. Then the Band Duke Hellington(2001-2005), which was oddly ahead of its time.
I was in a NYHC band from Staten called REASON ENOUGH. And funnily enough my first show was them was opening for MADBALL! I always wanted to hear about Sound 1. I record or did record bands and always wanted to know how Type O approached production especially the drum machine sounds. For our last record we recorded w Danny from Biohazard in his studio. I miss it. We disbanded in 2017. It’s weird being so entrenched in it since the 90s then it’s gone. DFL!
@@infectedgoat7775 MY FIrst Paying gig was with Madball and Mushmouth in 1994 at age 15. I was in Downtime then and 97-2000 the guitarist/composer of SInce the Fall from Reading PA. I remember your band's name, but ti 's been decades
And I was totally there at that show!! Good times is an understatement! SIGH!!!!
Sal is and has been my favorite drummer. The first time I heard his style and creativity especially the subtle differences from Type O’s SDAH to OOTF is awesome and that breakdown in TOO LATE FROZEN blew my mind as a 15 year old drummer. I tabbed out all his beats on notebook paper and studied them. Then when I heard how he augmented the songs of LOA. It really opened my eyes to songwriting.
i remember being 13 when river runs red came out still one of my favorites.
The River Runs Red album is legendary. Sal Abruscato's drumming is amazing on it.
Yeah i love his playing ' big influence
No idea what to say in a comment about LOA. I've been privileged enough to call my favoritest band of all time friends, loved everything they've put out as a band and in solo projects, agonized over their break-ups, celebrated their returns, drove through a snowstorm to their first reunion show in NYC in 2003, had a painting of their logo commissioned, then the same logo inked on my shoulder, been carried by their songs through bad times, and to this day, it's one of the only sounds on the planet that reliably gives me goosebumps every single time i listen. i love them and i am infinitely grateful they exist. Still, no idea what to say in a comment about LOA.💗💗💗💗💗
I seen them open for Type O Negative in Louisville Kentucky. 95-96 They were touring for Ugly. Killer show!
I love River Runs Red and Ugly albums.. will always be classics! Still in my cd collection ❤🤘🏾
Soul Searching Sun.
I don’t always like this channel….. but they are doing long videos on obscure/smaller metal bands. That’s pretty fkn cool.

@@rnrtruestories shit bro you already did them. Acid Bath and Gruntruck. Maybe Full Devil Jacket?
@@rnrtruestories You Do DIlinger or Unearth yet? The Locust or Overcast? I could help with old stories, We were thanked on the First Unearth release and took them on their first mini tour in 99. Also, this is my Deadname account and appreciate you doing this VERY much,. I needed this with the Nex Benedict news that no one is covering.
Acid Bath! Yes, or CORRUPTED or METH DRINKER lol
E Town Concrete
Saw them in 95ish at Mississippi Nights in St Louis. It was a phenomenal experience. My friends and I still talk about going to that show.
I saw them play Bradford’s Rio (West Yorkshire, UK) around the same time and it was a fucking blisteringly good gig because it was on their River Runs Red tour. I fucking love that LP and it is easily one of my favourites
An Army buddy of mine when I was stationed in Germany in 1996 turned me onto Life of Agony after playing a CD he got from a magazine that had one of their songs on it. I went downtown the next day to look for the CD. I had to hear the rest of it.
Keith's "Died Laughing" album is awesome too.
I loved LOA since the 90s and I had to do a double-take during that “Office” episode like WAIT WAS THAT REALLY LIFE OF AGONY??
My name is the same name of that guy. I remember that incident when it happened. It gave me the chills when I saw it on MTV news.
Saw them in 1995, became a fan that day. The bill was Life of Agony, Deftones, and Anthrax. Great show! Would only see them once more in 1997 with Cannibal Corpse, Anthrax, and the Misfits.
River Runs Red is a classic album.
yeah, their sound definitely changed after that.
Agony was my soundtrack in high school. Growing up in a suburb of Boston I would see them at least ten times a year between Boston, providence, Worcester and Hartford in the years 92-95. Joey Z was the coolest, Keith was always standoffish but funny as hell when he wanted to be. I fell out when soul searching son came out. The transgender thing never bothered me but honestly his voice was never the same.
Spent many nights with RRR on full blast on repeat with a 64 ounce of St Ides, and a pack of Parliament sitting on 110 Street in Richmond Hill Queens.
I first heard of them on a Beavis and Butt-Head episode in '96
Fun fact: you can’t actually read in a dream. You may think you can but what you’re seeing is random letters that will change each time you look at them.
Thanks?
Whered you get that? Batman Animated Series' Perchance to Dream episode?
You can actually read in some exceptions. Im a lucid dreamer myself and there are always signboards in my dreams that I can read.
@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 cool. I’ve been lucid dreaming since I was a kid. I’ve gotten to the point where I can catch myself going into a hypnagogic state and slip into a dream. It weird though. I stopped drinking alcohol about a year ago and I’ve been lucid dreaming a lot less.
Im a gamer, so my lucid dreams get longer and more detailed when I play at least an hour before sleeping.
While I can read some signboards, the drawback is not being able to see people's faces early. They either have their backs turned, covered by something, or blurred.
Cheers.
source: trust me bro
I don’t remember when I first heard of LOA, but the first time I heard their music was actually in 2011 when Heaven Shall Burn covered “River Runs Red.”
I am 45 and only have 1 tattoo and its the LOA circle of skulls logo from River Runs Red . Love that band still . after River I thought they got kinda weak at first because it wasn't the same and caught me off guard , but soon I fell in love with ALL of their stuff !!!! The songs Here I Am ,Here I Stay and Drowning from the 1989-1999 album are two of my favorites
I saw them with Clutch at the 9:30 club in DC back in the mid 90’s….man I miss those days sometimes
Saw L.O.A for the first time on a promotional (acoustic) tour for Soul Searching sun, got to hang with the band, Next i saw them at Ozzfest, with Whitfield Crane, he did quite a good job. Seen them three or four times since and always liked them. Saw Joey play with Carnivore (last time i saw Pete Steele perform live, 2008 i think). Love all those New York bands.. Type O, L.O.A, Biohazard, Pist On, S.O.I.A, seen them all plenty of times... a unique sound (Mr666, 90s kid, UK).
I had heard Life of Agony on a metal show on the radio on 97.7 HTZFM in St Catharines around 1997. I also remember Weeds getting some overnight play on the station and hearing This Time from River Runs Red, on their metal show Beyond 11. In 1998, I had heard all of River Runs Red for the first time and I loved the music and the 3 sketches. I wonder who the yelling mother was! I had heard that the boss who left a message on the answering machine was their manager, from an interview with Alan Robert last year.
Yo, Well Done!
One of my favorite bands ever, and this was well put together.
Learned something new today!
LOA has kinda a strange place when it comes to my list of favorite bands. I can't think of another band that I have a similar connection to. Where I absolutely love their "river runs red" album from start to finish, it's definitely in my top 10 albums of all time. But other than a couple of songs here and there over the years I can't say that I’ve ever really go into any of their other albums. I can't really say why, even with some of their more recent albums where they went back to having more of a "river runs red" sound but they just didn't grab me even I was hoping they would. I can't think of another band that I would consider one of my all time favorites but when taking out that one album they're no longer even on the list.
More videos about hardcore bands please! So many good, crazy ass stories about bands from that scene. Do one about this Detroit band called “Cold as Life”
Fun fact
The band Evan was in before he would be in biohazard ,threw him out because he was an untrustworthy drug addict and was NOT from the streets BUT a hippie from an upper middle class Jewish family.
I vividly remember Keith Caputo, jumping off the bus, running right over to me, and pleading for a "boys room", back then, before going double 0 chromosomally abident, ha, man, met everyone over the years at my club - clubs, LaMour, C.B.G.B.s, The Rat, Troubadour, Seriously, Keith could sing his ass off! Great video!
L.O.A will always be part of my lifes soundtrack. An album for every mood.
I'm an avid music listener and enjoyer of all genres. LOA will forever be in my heart. Blessed to have discovered them back in my childhood
Lucky enough to of seen them open for KMFDM. Ugly is one of the best albums of all time as far as I'm concerned and Keith's solo stuff like Selfish. Just plain brilliant. Keith's duet with Sharon Janny den Adel is just a mindblowing amazing song. I do hope Mina can find the happiness she deserves.
I’m 43 and been a fan since I first heard them in 93 . They played my life’s story and it made me get through my teenage years and 20’s . I still play the r.r.r album frequently. I’m happy for Keith/meena . He/she’s living how she feels and is happy it seems.
If you lived in the tri state area in the early 90’s, LOA was EVERYWHERE. They wrote great songs!
Very true, they were one of the biggest metal bands going in Albany, everyone here loved them for the most part. I remember being shocked when I went out to school in Rochester that zero people knew them out that way.
Ha ha ha Josh Silver Studios!
Stye in the Sky Studios 🐷
Interesting, knew hardly any of that information. Thanks again
You’re welcome
I love Mina's music and paints.
She's a nice painter.
You should do a video on I Mother Earth. Best underrated band ever.
River Runs Red was my introduction to Life of Agony.
River Runs Red is one of those 10/10 records. Not a single dud in the whole album.
Same with the two following albums as well!
@@CookieMonsterJams I personally didn't like them as much.
Would've been cool to hear about the different drummers they've had. The band wasn't just Keith /mina, Joey and alan
Maybe I'm old? RRR was a great album. Saw them live a few times arouund 95/96. As a lifelong fan of hardcore I must say that the most energetic show I ever attended was Warzone. Raybeez was in the crowd dancing when the band started playing. Not uncommon but this cat was wearing some bib overalls and some leather work mule gloves, this shit was hardcore for real!
That's cool you got into LOA through the show! I was cracking up when I heard that song being played. Ugly is one of my first and oldest albums, I was about 12 years old. Like a lot of the other early albums, but one of my all time favorite albums.
More than one member was in a band with Pete btw!!
I love life of agony the river runs red was and still is one of the best albums ever I still listen to it all the time
River Runs Red, Ugly are great albums. "Weeds" is an amazing song too.
Agreed
I went to one of their reunion shows in NY.
Great coverage. I never knew the close ties Life Of Agony had with Type O Negative. Wow
L' Amour. It's pronounced "lah mor". Or, as us locals said "luhmaw".
thank you, my bad.
@@rnrtruestories All good, my man. I look forward to more awesome videos.
thanks! Plenty more on the way!@@lordvlygar2963
Uneducated locals. My friends and I didn't talk that way and we grew up in Bklyn
This documentary just makes me feel they just had a life of agony so sad
River Runs Red is still on my all-time favorites list!
I love life of agony but my friends banned me from listening to them when I was drunk because I would start crying and when they asked what was wrong all I could say is " it's just so sad!"😂 now I listen in the gym 😊
I heard them for the first time on festival, so much energy on their show. Also Joey riffs are so cool. But I heard about Keith some time before when he recorded song with Within Temptation
nice to see u included a cut from Budapest, keep it up
One of my favorite bands of all time. Got to see them at an OzzFest. Loved it!
Early band to be from New York to sing and not yell. Most heavy bands didn’t sing, only the emerging grunge bands did. Unique group to have a New York style without being actual NYHC or thrash metal. It’s hard to write the pronunciation but it’s La- MOUR . The strong accent is on the MOUR. Not a strong accent on the “LA” . It sounds almost like two words as opposed to one
From an Old Hardcore Fan.
❤
We started in '89 in my garage in Brooklyn.Our first show was a Battle of the bands at South Shore high school.Then we headlined our first 4 shows in NY and NJ. We were Isolated Fear then Capital Punishment for a bout a day then Life of Agony. And Josh's basement was scary! Lol
The man himself
Hell yeah!!!Love LoA,Type O and Biohazard.👍
Pro-Pain!
I like the early outputs very much bring back the old Times. Very interesting Story thanks for showing
Been a fan of theirs since River Runs Red. Love 'em!!!!
✌❤🤘
I was at one of the most famous LOA shows,where 20 mins from where the office is based on in Scranton pa…they played the basement Of a pancake house..totally packed and sold out,and after their roadie ripping a door off its h8nges because the power went out Keith decided to say let’s tear this fucking ceiling down,and yep that ceiling came down.also keith played keyboards live in the begin9ng…GO!
When all else fails… TRASH THE PLACE!
I played that night.
@@vorpalblades what band do we know each other
Life Of Agony is a Great Band 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Seen em with type o negative, Berkeley square 1993-4 ish
Nicee!!! I saw Type 0 and Coal Chamber tour during the winter of 2000...It think it was March of 2000.
@@LeadMe2TheBlissyeah i saw that in Manchester great show
That’s exactly where I found life
First two albums are great
Soul Searching Sun is better than great, it's amazing!
First 3!
Crane is one of the most underrated singers
Pro-Pain, Biohazard, and Life Of Agony 3 best hardcore bands! Fight me!
I’ll do Terror, Hatebreed, and LoA
I got into them in '93ish Snowboarding videos had their music. I think it was Creatures of Habit 2? Unique band sound back then, even now.
Keith’s grandmother sounds so much like my grandmother who raised me, I miss her so much. RIP Mammaw
Are you also a Tgirl? This is my Deadname account as well if So
Your grandma pushed you to pretend t be a girl. Sounds like abuse
@@KelticKabukiGirl Deadname...wow, the indoctrination is deep in you. Isn't it? Oh hey, with everything going on geo-politically. Guess what, sunshine, you're still draft eligible. Might want to make a run to Canada soon.
@@KelticKabukiGirl this channel and it's followers are actually pretty transphobic tbh. I commented the other day on this video about dude deadnaming Mina.
Comparing your home life to " That Scene in RAGING BULL"..- Man - I wish them Well... Seen e'm A Few Years ago in NYC.. They're Cool.
Love you life of agony, you saved my life in so many ways
Lets pretend and weeds are so amazing
You serious Capital Punishment was so good, Plastic Buildings and Paper Sky's were people come to live and Die. I just remember that part of the song. More then 25 years ago I'm thinking.
In 83 at 14 wearing a biker hat like Rob Halford me brother in-law 13 yrs elder asked if I was gay. I was like WTF!!! Why would you ask that? He said that’s what the gay bikers from London accessorized with, along with the leather & spikes. I grabbed a Judas Priest album & said this is fuckin metal & im dating a hot blonde girl. So I put 2 & 2 together with lyrics & stage performances to realize the Metal God was gay. So fucking what!!! He’s a great artist whom I luv & respect 💯%. He’s not a predator nor is he pushing it on anyone. Luv is so much easier than hate.
That's the key right there -"not pushing it on anyone". When I was 18, I worked for a company whose owner was bi and lived with 3 of the most flamboyant, stereotypical gay men you'd ever see. The shop was in the basement of their house, so I was around them alot. They knew I was straight and not once did they ever say or do anything that was crossing the line. Total respect on both sides. and smashed the stereotypes that I was brought up with.
But the current LGBTQ agenda of cramming it down everyone throats at every turn has probably made more people intolerant than accepting. You see it with hyper religious people as well. I have my own beliefs and things that I support, but I'm not on a mission to convert people to my way of thinking because it's what works for me or tell them they're wrong because they don't see things through my eyes.
Don't know why that's such a hard thing for some to grasp.
@@kchez5586spot on
I have seen them on Dynamo open Air ( Netherlands) and love them. Greetings from the Netherlands 👍 keep on headbanging 🤟
RRR is the only LOA album worth listening to.
Incorrect, Ugly and Soul Searching Sun are even better!
I was worried at first, but you kept the He before the build-up to being out so, well done, This is my Deadname account actually, she and one other Trans Frontwoman are the only role models I have... Thank you for doing this. I knew I loved RRR in HS for a reason!
You did well, You had to for the context of storytelling for those who didn't know and the timeline. I was nervous a couple times closer to her being out, but it was respectful and well done. I came out last June after an unrepressed memory from 25 years ago. I was out and in public in a week. At 45 and a Metal and Hardcore Singer/Guitarist, I knew I just had to fucking own it. I go by Dolores now. I grew up playing in the PAxHC scene and the New York Bands were big influences, River Runs Red connected with me decades before I came out and 7 years before I started to try. I actually used to Gig with Dillinger, UNearth, Madball, Overcast, Shadows Fall, etc,,, and my old band SInce the Fall was on Hellfest and Boston Metalfest 99. I could have never come out back then. By the way, Google Nex Benedict if you want to see how bad things are... you gained a Sub today Thank you - Dolores
I was worried too. I wondered if/when he would change her pronouns. Nice to meet you Dolores!
@@elizabeth2181 thanks Elizabeth
That Benedict crap has already been proved to be a Jussie Smollett type hoax. Look into it.
REALITY CHECK: Diphenhydramine and Fluoxetine are the names of the "students" that took the life of that poor non binary child. Oh wait, those are drugs.
Not charting? Not a problem! I can't count how many times I have seen this kick ass band but it was......excessive let's put it that way, LOL. Being from Jersey it was a gift every time they crossed the bridge and played here. Of course, I did my fair share of seeing them in the city whenever they played, which was a LOT, thankfully. Best of times, back in the 90's. SIGH!!! Thanks for the memories, LoA! You will forever hold a special place in my black heart 😘🤩😍💯💋💋💋💋💋
John Lennon couldn't read music? Did not know that.
30 years later and that album still kicks ass
Had a demo with them on it. Good song . Was in 1992 I think
Good story, I forgot they were intertwined with Type O Negative.
thanks!
Saw one of their videos on Beavis and Butthead.
I got into got into LOA because I bought an album from Roadrunner Records and it came with the little catalog of other bands on the label and I was like what a cool name. This was the days of dial up modems, before Google and RUclips. So I said year I’ll spend the $11.99 and $3 shipping. It was a $15 gamble. But worth it.
What’s Bizarre about a band being themselves and bringing together millions of people singing songs.
Why the fuck the top on that lava lamp missing?
Sick Of It All, Snapcase and Life Of Agony brought me to Hardcore in 1994 after i was deep into Grunge. Saw them twice live in the 1990ies. Still listening to Hardcore after all those years. Last concert was Magnitude, next one is Knocked Loose. Only big love for Mina and the dudes.
Check out Pro-Pain.
i have only heard the first album river runs red - that album was fantastic!
I saw them in 2005 with Mudvayne and American Head Charge. LOA was legitimately boo’d while performing. It was really weird to see/hear. That’s the one and only time I’ve ever heard a band boo’d.
I’ve seen it a couple times. This was common in the early 2000s. I wonder why they didn’t like life of agony? Usually I noticed in them days a band would get booed if they weren’t of the same cloth/similar sound as the main act, I.e puddle of mudd opening up for korn
Saw Keith & the boys open up for Type O Negative a long ass time ago at Pieres in Ft. Wayne. He was drunk swaying back & forth with a bottle of wine in his hand just going through the motions. Some years later I saw LOA again in Detroit and Mina was belting out songs louder & prouder than I ever imagined whilst running around the stage like a mad woman! Absolutely love LOA! They can do no wrong in my book!
Looks like everyone has really big noses and that’s what made them bound. I loved them in the 90s and when I was 15 we’d cover Let’s Pretend 😂
I was one of the managers of a Long Island rock club The Roxy Music Hall from 1992-1996. LOA played there many times and the place was always packed. We held over 1000 people for shows like Korn, Marilyn Manson,, Type O Negative & Biohazard so it wasn't a small place. In fact the picture of Joey Z on the back of River Runs Red was taken at our club. Really good people & at times you'd see some of them & members of Type O hanging at the club even when they weren't playing. Yeah, Keith was quiet offstage and I'm happy that Mina is in a better place mentally.
River runs red is so good..
Agreeed but Ugly and Soul Searching Sun are even better!
