[@michealthomas4331]

I have a ton of great memories tied directly to these songs!

[@venzislavvladimirov3046]

One of my favorite group. My phone is ringing on this song - Mmmmmmm, one of my ever favorite songs 🙂

[@flossycee1012]

Love Crash Test Dummies, never get tired of listening to their music. Just brilliant.

[@vetechgrl2000]

One my most favorite bands......EVER! Still have some of their cds and listen to them regularly!!!

[@pamv183]

I loved this band. I saw them live in Vegas. Unforgettable. I had several of their CD's and still listen to them.

[@negative4life]

His hair was gorgeous! I was always envious because I have super thick, curly, unruly hair. That voice too. Like melted chocolate. Yum!

[@chiefscheider]

I was envious because I started losing mine at 24 😥

[@Spencer1609751]

And Brad is still Rocking the Chest Hair!!!!

[@elisakomar5550]

😛😜😜😜

[@candy12752]

Love this band...his voice omg I could listen to forever...but his songs are so unique...not like no others...

[@TheAmbageHouse]

Great to see you guys. Haven’t seen this before.

[@meredithcollins6246]

Ha! thx! That was fun! Right when we launched our proof of concept!

[@clurgee4923]

Bruh his hair was amazing

[@willcta1]

Grew up on Crash Test Dummies, best time ever, "when you go on camping trips" - we were camping at the time "Your thumb and forefingeeeaar" Awesome

[@matthiascerebri3315]

This band is so underrated (despite the fact they still exist) that it almost hurts me...

[@communicationbreakdown256]

I saw them last night, I only knew mmm mmm..... and they were awesome! I loved all the songs and the interaction with the audience!!

[@Guy9998]

Yes sir. They are still one of my favourite bands. Brad's a great songwriter.

[@kqh123]

King's X is more underrated. Look them up.

[@gogoyubari366]

Where do you get these ratings from?

[@matthiascerebri3315]

[@haiellof]

Hey Brad Roberts! You said some day you'd have a disappearing hairline. You lied to us...

[@stevenclark4176]

hahHA!!!

[@1989NickyD]

He ain't wearing pyjamas either...

[@OthO67]

Someday.

[@Galdring]

Nooo! I literally searched up a modern video of this guy to make that comment. 3 years too late!

[@edwardfortesque]

Just saw them in MPLS 2023 and he still has a strong hairline, keep it up Brad and Ellen and Peter and the gang

[@bryonnusbaum2thetruthchann801]

I was in 3rd grade when I got the cassette tape of God shuffle his feet. I still jam to this from time to time

[@hookist]

its a great one!

[@proculusjulius7035]

Brad Roberts has such a good voice that I named my liver "Brad Roberts " 😂😂

[@arkansastrey9694]

aint it funny how a melody can bring back a memory

[@hookist]

especial CTD songs! They are almost a feeling!

[@Bowens20]

ARKANSAS Trey Eric CHURCH

[@virtualbeing5195]

Hmm mmm mmm m

[@andrewborowski3362]

Absolutely one of the best voices ever. We lost a great voice and teller of stories when Mark Sandman (Morphine) passed, I look at Brad and the band to keep telling stories through music 🎶🎵

[@hookist]

Totally agree!

[@kipper1885]

A voice and lyricist like no other!

[@Zenlife1132]

Love him!!!! My favorite band ever

[@oakenfalling]

These guys are just some schlepps hanging out with other musicians at the The Blue Note to me lol, love that they made it. Not sure if anybody knows this but in Winnipeg they were a revolving door of musicians and like musical chairs, if you had a seat when they got signed you won the lottery. I suspect that's why Brad didn't feel a need to consult anyone about the band name. The last time I saw these guys was Brad working the door at the Pyramid Club when I was playing in The Void and Ben showing up on the lawn at my parents house on this rattly crappy bike and showing us a copy of The Ghosts that Haunt Me. I remember very well him saying "We might make enough money to buy a pack of gum!" Surprise, more than a pack of gum, it turns out! Ben is now Son of Dave out of England and you should look him up on KZbin if you like blues. Before The Crash Test Dummies we shared rehearsal space with Ben's blues band, called The Detonators. He played the most beautiful version of Sultans of Swing I'd ever heard. Sorry we stole Aggy from the band Ben but look where it landed you! 🙂

[@marleybu7984]

I loved your long hair Brad. It was wonderful! 😀

[@wolfgangzrx]

Like Mike Patton's!

[@Khumry]

loved the music very clever

[@ericgillespie7419]

Good job Brad Roberts

[@steverichards9964]

His hair was glorious 😢

[@wolfgangzrx]

Yes like Mike Patton's!

[@thesouluniversal]

He should grow it long again imo, it suits him!

[@MrPhillLewis]

It did suit him. He also now looks like Javier Bardem on crack.

[@endrju3000]

love them !

[@jackiebrown7229]

I loved your long hair. It was always glossy and healthy looking. Love your voice too.

[@christiecooper1479]

2022i still love this band

[@bobcollinge4292]

Days of the caveman is one of my favorites

[@VeryRedFox]

Crash Test Dummies on cassette, thats what I had. It probably shaped me a lot since the theme was a bit morbid but that was and is me, but you know, cheerfully morbid. or you know... yeah. really those melodies sticked. and now, recovering from trauma and abuse, they help me get back to playing guitar. they are somehow very calming.

[@hookist]

So amazing how music can soothe and comfort. Hope you are feeling better!

[@esakostiainen3242]

Finland, jee it was 1993, in Ruis Rock Turku. if i remembe ok. I was there. And all fins was not so drunk, ok most. Great gig!!!

[@Gurra88]

One great album

[@hookist]

listen to the others - so great - whether or not they were monster hits like Mmmm...

[@lincoln7184]

Hookist I agree, I think CTD remained pretty consistent with their output, they just evolved a lot on the aesthetic from album to album.

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

Brad looks and sounds like Javier Bardem's stunt double.

[@hookist]

Ha! But nobody sings or writes songs like Brad!

[@tomlykhonglah4346]

Amazing voice singer

[@soulstice99]

Well spoken

[@stuartewoldt1513]

Had no idea this guy played drums with GWAR

[@bunjino]

I swear the Simpsons have a character that looks exactly like Brad.

[@gojohngo106]

A fellow Winnipegger!

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I love this guy and he always looks very stoned.

[@andreialopes4977]

SHE IS TALKING ABOUT A NFT AND TRYING TO USE HIS FAME TO MAKE MONEY OBVIOUSLY.

[@hookist]

Nope. Not at all. This is from 2014 when nfts did not even exist. Either way tho, that would be cool! He's a partner in the company so it would work for him as well!
