Yeah, but it just doesn’t work that way. I’ve seen and met quite a few bands that had the chops and the material to get famous, just never happened. Walter’s background doesn’t count: Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today were legendary, but never big. But I agree, it’s weird because their music stands up so well: I still love listening to it 30 years later, not for nostalgic reasons, but because it’s good. I once found myself standing next to Sergio at a festival in 94 or 95, watching Faith No More, and even though he had been on stage with Quicksand earlier, he was still surprised that someone recognised him. Always under the radar.

My take on this is Jonah Matranga from Far, his band influenced many bands including Deftones. Jonah and Walter get talked about in a lot of circles, it’s very hard for bands to go massive considering both Far and Quicksand never signed with a major label and both singers played and formed a few different bands of their own.

I showed you, you better not forget fucker

dine alone is my every day!! get pumped for work jam in the car

Dude, Slip has been in my rotation since I first heard it circa May 1993. Its rare quality cannot be overstated. Amongst the best hardcore albums of all time, and certainly in my top five of all time.

Slip is one of the albums that completely changed my musical palette. Totally helped shaped my melodic frame for songwriting

Opinions..I always vastly prefered Manic.

Slip is sick.
