Acid Bath at a bingo parlor in South Carolina (just across the bridge from Savannah, GA). The best I recall it was 1996... Tank 18, The Spo-Its, Acid Bath, D.R.I.
The cool thing about them is that the riffs and everything aren’t super complex, but the way the songs are structured with all the tempo changes and the drumming that drives it all is what makes Acid Bath stand out.
The life of this band was probably one more album. Which would have probably been some jumble of the ideas that we got on the Agents S/T and early Goatwhore, which could have been a masterpiece, who knows. But it also would mean sacrificing the excellent Agents of Oblivion S/T.
It's incredible that he can scream like that and then go seamlessly in and out of singing and everything is still perfect. The average man can only scream so much before his voice turns to dogshit. It's also crazy to see that huge voice come from such a little dude, and while he masturbates himself, no less. Very impressive.
that will nvr happen. I talked with dax a few mths ago ay a NC show. he hates everything about his days of acid bath. now he has kid and a dad mind( the antics are over for dax)
@@ericdravennevermore2566 Well, Melvins are still the essential. If the atlantic records are too easy-listening for you, check out everything before that. Their first two records are virtually incomprehensible, in the best way possible.
Lyrics: Across your face I see what you are You want to kill the sun Blot out the stars I know you, you're nothing You're so small You're fucking nothing Nothing at all The sun burns on It reminds me of you The slit wrists of the sky Bleeding into the blue We twist beneath forever Cause do you know what you've done Ants in the afterbirth We're slugs under the sun I could not wake the dead man dreaming Acid party, murder at the late show Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior I could not kill the dead man screaming Eat my dead cock Eat my dead cock I have fallen deep in love with the sky Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife Leaves will fall as everything must follow Kill your idol, come on, jump into the void Eat my cold shit Everybody whispers where birds fall dead I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head Wiping flecks of foam, twisting with rabies Bloody, we run through these fields of dead daisies How can I ever Make you know what you've done Ants in the afterbirth We're slugs under the sun I have fallen in love with the sky Fragments of sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
Acid Bath were years ahead of their time. So incredibly sick! I am one of the lucky ones to see them several times live. They were awesome live. Long Live Acid Bath!
Paraphrasing a conversation a friend of mine had with Sammy at a recent Goatwhore show: "I heard you guys were working on a 'reunion' without Dax, is that happening?" Sammy: "Ahhh I can't tell you anything about that." That's not a denial. It's the only hope I have right now. I've seen Dax live and he said basically no chance he'd ever be interested in it. He still signed all my Acid Bath stuff, which was really nice; and he is still a really good performer.
Remember seeing this tour and how D.R.I. clearly knew the drill by then. The second Acid Bath were done they were on stage and playing their 'hit' within three minutes. Too late, the crowd was gone.
@@masonb9788 I grew up in cleveland but I always lamented that I wasn’t born 20 years earlier to see the 90’s and early 2000’s hardcore/underground scene. I’ve heard tons of stories and always feel like I missed out
That is how a lot of my friends looked and dressed in high school and after who mostly skated or smoked weed and stuff like i did in the mid 90's .But some of my friends go see them live in Little Rock, AR in like 1994 maybe..Looking back it is funny tho!!
Metro Atlanta now... Where I can actually see more bands come from overseas, lol... Savannah got a small but decent metal scene... NOW, years after I left. I moved up to metro Atlanta about 2 or 3 years after this show was recorded...
Lol, you probably meant... IN the video... 3:21, standing at the leftmost edge... Wearing the Napalm Death Russian tour shirt I got from Dave over at Earache Records when I was working press and publicity through them for my music magazine... Damn, I still have that shirt too; the only reason it still fits was because it was an Extra Large when I got it, haha
I saw these guys live in a club called "Jimmy's" in New Orleans in 1996, and unlike this video, the venue in New Orleans was packed full! An amazing damn band who never got the publicity they deserved!
I hate myself for getting rid of the shit for When the Kite String Pops. My girlfriend hated it, especially when I told her (which was stupid) who drew the fucked up looking clown. This is what happens when you settle down kids.
+blahblahblahblah blahblahblahblah if you like Acid Bath, check out some other sludge metal. Start with Crowbar, Noothgrush and Eyehategod. They kinda have a similar aesthetic to some of the darker stuff from AiC's Facelift, so I figure you'd dig that.
This music feels like the looming nature of death, pain, collapse, anger, etc. all clumped into a volatile ball; Brutal & strangely captivating, won’t claim to be an expert despite this comment……… but I love this music!!! Don’t know if I’d had gone to this concert though, but it’s up to taste & interest.
not gonna lie, this has it's own unreplicable style and atmosphere, but I would kill for a clean studio recording remaster of this with a higher production, their sound makes them unique, yet I feel like I'm not taking advantage of my audio equipment everytime I listen to them.
I have this bootleg acid bath dvd that had a bad ass professional quality recording of one of their shows. I don't know where it is or remember which concert it was, but if I find it I'm gonna upload it here.
Actually, it's CALLED Double Live Bootleg!...you can Usually find a copy on ebay or Amazon....if not, you can always order straight from the source, Rotten Records. Also, if memory serves correctly (I've owned it twice...people tend to steal Acid Bath stuff 😉)...the DVD is a patchwork of songs live from several different shows...there are several songs that appear 2 or even 3 times, from different nights & venues. And yes, Acid Bath rules :) .
Barry Black I was 13 so I couldn't go either. I have 2 generations of Acid Bath fanatics in my family. My cousin was like, 6 when he first started running around singing Acid Bath and ended up naming his son after Dax.
saw them at metropolis in downtown lafayette, louisiana in 94ish. my homie opened for them with his band nefearious back then. still the best live show i have ever been too.
I'll never forget hearing them on a college radio station that we could barely pick up in rural Vermont and the music stuck with me. Venus blue was the song and it changed me right then and there. I never looked at music the same way and this was before korn even.
first heard these guys in Sth. Australia bout 1994 on 3D radio 3 Hours of Power! Totally blew me away! I recored it on cassette and blew all my mate's minds away with this track! I wish they had got more attention back then. they're in my top 10. Big 💚
I droped acid and listened to new death sensation and it literally changed my life!!! It's been 15 years and I still think about that night at least once a day hahahah
imagine if they reunited now. i know they are massively underrated, but still i think it would be probably one of the biggest underground reunions, they would sell every show 100%

This exactly!
For real though. Outside of God Machine, all of WTKSP is pretty easy to play, but the way everything's set up it just sounds so damn impressive
@skinny from the south i agree so much
💯 I couldn't agree more my friend
They were friends and a.problem in the same I lived please give your family addicts love please I came out of it it works noethidone no God just you
Some idiot drunk driver cut the life of this great band short. Miss you Acid Bath.
It was Zack Morris. Same guy that Killed The Full House mom. Zack Morris is Traaassshh!!!!
There was rumors of them breaking up before then but still fuck that guy

@@Mowdlin and we couldnt have both really
One of the greatest lyricists in metal...disturbing and beautiful at the same time.
He’s always reminded me of Tom Waits in a really strange way. Like if Tom Waits had one too many really bad acid trips
So fucking true. Thats why I love Acid Bath. I know EVERY lyric
dax is a genius
Believe man, poetic onslaught
Him and jr Hayes are the best metal lyricists of all time…you can tell jr was influenced by him a lot
The most criminally underrated band ever.
Yep! Acid Bath and, let us not forget the great, late, Nothingface! :)
And WHEN THE KITE STRING POPS is the most breathtaking achievement in the history of sludge-metal.
I grew up on Acid Bath, from the same bayou as them. :)
Sucks that their record label is awful
They are getting more and more recognition lately , thankfully
Dude’s vocals are so on point.
ALWAYS, my man. Always.
It's incredible that he can scream like that and then go seamlessly in and out of singing and everything is still perfect. The average man can only scream so much before his voice turns to dogshit.
It's also crazy to see that huge voice come from such a little dude, and while he masturbates himself, no less. Very impressive.
What is this lads name I’m gonna have to marry him
@@Someone-mi4vt Dax Riggs, highly recommend his solo stuff, incredible voice.
Now Dax is at Church’s
I'd sell my soul to see Acid Bath play live.
Are you listening, Satan?
TheAcidButterfly I literally did exactly this and got to go backstage for one of their last shows! Satan answers prayers!
+Ciro Pennino lol he most certainly does; he's deceived you into believing I give a @#$%! ooga booga!
Me too!
that will nvr happen. I talked with dax a few mths ago ay a NC show. he hates everything about his days of acid bath. now he has kid and a dad mind( the antics are over for dax)
+Soverign Cold-Steel that's shitty type of "adult person", if you know what I mean
Acid Bath. 11/10. Sludge metal with gothic rock influences never sounding so well played.
is there any other band at the same level or suprassess acid bath? Not unless if it's a different genre... acidbath the best in their own
Always love the "11/10" quantification..means a lot for me. Thanks and cheers from Chile

Eric Draven Nevermore Check out abuse
Type o negative too! At least theyre older albums
I have fallen in deep love with the sky
"I have fallen deep in love with the sky"
"I have fallen deep in love with this guy!"
Lol!
Fragments of a sunbeam clotting on a kitchen knife
Almost three decades later, WHEN THE KITE STRING POPS is, to my ears, the greatest sludge-metal record of all time.
definetly the best sludge album
One of my favorites, keep going back to this album the older I get 🤘🏻
a good smoke and acid bath tunes is all i need today
Something bout your Hellblazer profile pic fits this song man
What about Dax, Goatwhore, AB covers or Pantera? Lol for real though
Lyrics:
Across your face
I see what you are
You want to kill the sun
Blot out the stars
I know you, you're nothing
You're so small
You're fucking nothing
Nothing at all
The sun burns on
It reminds me of you
The slit wrists of the sky
Bleeding into the blue
We twist beneath forever
Cause do you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth
We're slugs under the sun
I could not wake the dead man dreaming
Acid party, murder at the late show
Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior
I could not kill the dead man screaming
Eat my dead cock
Eat my dead cock
I have fallen deep in love with the sky
Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
Leaves will fall as everything must follow
Kill your idol, come on, jump into the void
Eat my cold shit
Everybody whispers where birds fall dead
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
Wiping flecks of foam, twisting with rabies
Bloody, we run through these fields of dead daisies
How can I ever
Make you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth
We're slugs under the sun
I have fallen in love with the sky
Fragments of sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
Miss you Audie. I miss Acid Bath, period. Best band EVER.
Patricia Lovell and yeah now dax cancels shows and throws a fit when interviewed about acid bath
+abyssea no
Fuck yes AB is!! Calgary 91'
@```` Yeah Agents of oblivion was pretty fuckin good too!
Love how the pit started small then everyone joined once they realized how fucking good this shit is
Holy crap...this live performance is just insane.
When i clicked i wasnt expecting this, hats off holy shit
Acid Bath were years ahead of their time. So incredibly sick! I am one of the lucky ones to see them several times live. They were awesome live. Long Live Acid Bath!
One of Louisiana’s greatest.
I am only 17.. So nowhere near experiencing this. One of my favorite bands. I could only wish...
i discovered them what i was 17 too im only 20 now so i feel ur pain
@skinny from the south sucks bruh
Same, and so true
Im 15 in a week but love acid bath.Grew up with them because of my parents.The stories they tell if them sound amazing
@@santaisgruntinginmycloset9422 Qué suertudo jaja
Playing a mean game of pocket pool during this set, eh?
he did that because his arm would flail when he screamed, but for the sake of the joke, improvise, adapt, overcum
Rip such a killer band back in the day /,,/
These guys had a next level sound and I’m still listening to them 30 years later
Man I saw these dudes almost every weekend
Paraphrasing a conversation a friend of mine had with Sammy at a recent Goatwhore show: "I heard you guys were working on a 'reunion' without Dax, is that happening?" Sammy: "Ahhh I can't tell you anything about that." That's not a denial. It's the only hope I have right now.

I'd like an agents of oblivion reunion then. God dammit.
I LOVE THAT THE GUITAR PLAYER IS WEARING A SAMAEL SHIRT...I LOVE ACID BATH
Remember seeing this tour and how D.R.I. clearly knew the drill by then. The second Acid Bath were done they were on stage and playing their 'hit' within three minutes. Too late, the crowd was gone.
Yep same tour I seen them on, they pulled up in an old primered school bus lol
Yes in Cleveland there were definitely more people there to see Acid Bath. But we had a great time for the whole show.

@@Ezra.G yeah it sucks we did miss out to a degree
What was their hit? Scream of the Butterfly?
Its so funny looking at the style of people in that pit
That is how a lot of my friends looked and dressed in high school and after who mostly skated or smoked weed and stuff like i did in the mid 90's .But some of my friends go see them live in Little Rock, AR in like 1994 maybe..Looking back it is funny tho!!
The sun burns on
It reminds me of you
The slit wrists of the sky
Bleeding into the blue
That kid could write some lyrics.
Nice name 🐰
Man, I remember this show... I was in the pit for most of it, having been a Savannah resident for most of the start of my music magazine...
Where are you?
Metro Atlanta now... Where I can actually see more bands come from overseas, lol... Savannah got a small but decent metal scene... NOW, years after I left. I moved up to metro Atlanta about 2 or 3 years after this show was recorded...

This is what happens when you settle down kids.
+EyesofNeurosis dax never settled down. why did you?
What are you talking about? His stuff is like adult alternative now. Its still cool, but it is what it is.
I've settled down and never got rid of my tapes..
"Settling down" or not, there's no reason to get rid of this music. Especially cause your girl doesn't like it. You bitch.
cold crashing waves
I agree but no need to be a dick about it
Seen theses guys live about 60 times even hung out with them a few times.. One of my all time favorites..
Yeah, it blows they were only around during my early teens and I'm stuck in dirty Jersey. Thank the gods 4 recording tech!

One of the best live Metal bands ever? YES! 🔥
I would sell my soul to even GLANCE at Dax for 30 seconds.

Don’t know if I’d had gone to this concert though, but it’s up to taste & interest.
I like the sound above all, pretty obnoxious otherwise; Still good!
all these bands nowdays doing cleans need to study acid bath.

@@nicholaspintor3551 Ironically, I think this sounds better than the album 😂
@@abdielalfonso4556 nice
@EyeHateMusic , that's what I like sorry if I like audio xd
I've watched this like five times now. The sound came out well.
I was at the last show. Mobile Alabama.
the last show was in texas so I guess your full of shit
I guess you can say the last show in Alabama
I don't know where last show was but I found them in alabama ..saw agents of oblivion there. Great times
the best band in the world love DAX
Vom Matador Rottweilers He , Dax used to live with a buddy of mine.
LOVE ACID BATH

OMG, It's glorious.
Love the SAMAEL shirt
Orangeokie7 Frkn Agree!! Much Respect!! Opal☆
I was thinking the same thing! That album was killer!
Sweet bassline!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest bands of all time
That icehouse bottle in the beginning brings back memories (or lack there of) also 30 packs of Red dog beer gut rot
Best vocals ever
I like how we have the same accent. Coonass love right there
Vocals sound so good god damn
I'm with that the greatest band ever way ahead of their time
Thank you so much for the Acid Bath videos!!!!
Second only to the mighty Melvins, Acid Bath really must be my most loved metal band on most days of the year. Superb act, no kidding!
Ohhh what I would give to have heard them live. Thankful for these videos. Still listening to Acid Bath every single day.
Dax is a god amongst men the best band ever too bad they were cut short long live Dax riggs my favorite artist of all time 😈
Legend in my opinion. Will never let them die.
One of the most underrated bands of the 90's (and there were a lot of them) Dax continues to put out good shit to this day .
Proud of those dudes...All of them.
This would have been such a badass show to see
Amen brother, I would of been there with bells on to see Acid Bath, too bad I was 8 when they came through SC.
Barry Black I was 13 so I couldn't go either. I have 2 generations of Acid Bath fanatics in my family. My cousin was like, 6 when he first started running around singing Acid Bath and ended up naming his son after Dax.
Saw them with d.r.i in houston around the same time.one of the high points of my later teenage years.
This might be my favorite song of all time.
been with these guys for 22 years will be here for another 22 more. then im leaving this cold forsaken kingdom
Thank you so much for uploading this gem
saw them at metropolis in downtown lafayette, louisiana in 94ish. my homie opened for them with his band nefearious back then. still the best live show i have ever been too.
I'll never forget hearing them on a college radio station that we could barely pick up in rural Vermont and the music stuck with me. Venus blue was the song and it changed me right then and there. I never looked at music the same way and this was before korn even.
I'm so glad that people are still finding Acid Bath 🤟.
I would actually sell my soul to attend a tour with these guys.
Perhaps the band who were most ahead of their time of any in the 90s.
this is the greatest song of all time! man i miss the boys... 40 years old and still this is my all time fav song!!
im surprised i havent heard of this band yet. i have been listening to them for about a month now and i cant stop
first heard these guys in Sth. Australia bout 1994 on 3D radio 3 Hours of Power! Totally blew me away! I recored it on cassette and blew all my mate's minds away with this track! I wish they had got more attention back then. they're in my top 10. Big 💚
i heard it about the same time on tripple Js 3 hours, the next day I was into downstairs music to hunt them down.
So in love with how this band makes me feel
This is my favorite song. It describes my upbringing so perfectly.
Real acid bath fan here.
so AMAZING to see a old vid of the acid bath, was a great time in my life!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BATH
Amen brother. Just getting back into them again. They are fuckin awesome!
this was the first acid bath song i heard!!!!!! amazing ❤
I remember seeing them early on. Love acid bath !
These guys were a great band. Wish I could have seen them play.
Such a great song!
LONG LIVE ACID BATH!
I was at this show! D.R.I was on the bill too.
This is greatness right here!
To remember the winds that blew in Louisiana those nights
Acid Bath are Awesome. They are missed and so is Audie. Rest in Power Bro.
The singer is fucking incredible. What a band
That Samael t-shirt it's fucking SICK!
Pablo Manuel Aceves Gutiérrez Very Much Agree!! Opal Enthroned☆
Sick Samael shirt, too!
Exactly how i expected the live session to be
I droped acid and listened to new death sensation and it literally changed my life!!! It's been 15 years and I still think about that night at least once a day hahahah
Of all the Acid Bath songs that might change one’s life, that would honestly be the absolute dead last song I would predict.
@@chrisg7731 why? What you listen to?? The beetles.
@@jakecozzz1040 no, I listen to Acid Bath. But New Death Sensation is the least Acid Bath song of all of Acid Bath's songs.
Saw them live 4 times in Sioux Falls, SD. Count myself lucky as fuck. They were so good.
my dad has a flyer to one of those shows. he was going to go but due to a snow storm he couldn't so your lucky
very good, exciting performance!
Brasil here. o/
drummer is so amazing
Fucking Sammy putting it down! Hell yeah!
Wish I could get everything dax says at beginning
Electrifying, what a fucking band!
imagine if they reunited now. i know they are massively underrated, but still i think it would be probably one of the biggest underground reunions, they would sell every show 100%
If shaggy from Scooby Doo made four clones of himself and they were all incredibly musically talented
God if only i got the chance to see this band...
ive been to shows with way more people and a pit only half the size. im so jealous of anyone who go to see acid bath live
Fuuuuck....r.I.p acid bath..🌹
