    Mad respect

    Look, the 90s were a lot of fun. Lots of our own problems, but we all had a really great time.

    Whenever could there even be a band that existed called “butthole surfers“?

    I loved the 90s

      I feel for today’s young adults. We had such a nicer world, in so many ways. And that’s not rose colored glasses. I was non-stop broke, not like I was living the high life, but I had fun and loads of it.

      Lots of bands with similar types of names existed since the invention of punk in the 70s, they just always remained niche. The difference about the 90s was that they had a major hit and a music video on constantly rotation on mtv.

        So international genocide is OK if they have the right name and branding.

        Thanks for clearing that up

        Btw, when you come back? It’ll be at completely near a restaurant. And I will be in charge of everything, especially including you. And if you, even once, mouth off to me, you’re fired.

        Let’s just get this out of the way now: if you’re not me, then you’re fired from this entire company. You can reapply for your job, but expect a 75% pick up and a 300% increase an hour if that doesn’t work for you, then let yourself on fire. That’s how we’ll know not to consider you anymore.

        If you have a problem with any of this, then you shouldn’t have voted for fascism. But you voted for fascism, and now you’re gonna get fascism.

        Your complaints will be duly noted as the reason you will immediately be executed fascism!

      I’ve met Gibby a half-dozen times over the years. He was dating my ex’s best friend for a LONG time. There were good Gibby experiences and bad Gibby experiences.

      One time, probably around 1995, I was backstage at Jannus Landing, when Club Detroit was still a thing, when he came to the greenroom. He opened the fridge, there was no beer, so he kicked the fridge over and poured out half a barrel of ice onto the floor above the bar. The water from the ice bucket dumped down onto the bartenders below. That was both a good and bad Gibby night…

      At the same show, he was still doing the shooting beachballs with a shotgun loaded with rocksalt. He got the cops called on him for that. Maybe that’s why he came upstairs pissed off. :)

    In a 1996 Rolling Stone interview, when asked if he could go back and choose a more culturally acceptable name for the band, Haynes replied, “I would name the band: I’m Going to Shit in Your Mother’s Vagina.”

    Fucking legend
