Rick Froberg was such an amazing singer and artist RIP

[@bigjonradio]

Oh what?! I only found out he died from your comment here. Devastating. Only 55. I'm a massive Hot Snakes fan, fucking immense live. So sad.

[@sickrandy2946]

Rick Froberg & John Reis are both criminally underrated. Love damn near all of their work. edit: back here after hearing Rick passed. absolutely shattered my heart man, rest easy legend.

[@ML-nj4qi]

Rest easy Rick. Thank you for the music and see you on the other side brother.

[@arnowillekes7979]

Great choices in music! Rip Rick 🙏🏽🤘🏽🎸

[@nickguyone]

These guys played at the bar I work at a couple months ago - nicest dudes, and the quintessential American rock band. Hope they go down in history!

[@dpclerks09]

They've been in the history books, for those who were there, and those that do their homework, just like these guys.

[@toejam1]

downstroke warlords. rip rick

[@Έμποροςθανάτου]

From Pitchfork to Obits, everything Rick Froberg has ever done just oozes greatness. I searched in vain for years trying to find a band that helped fill the void in my soul left by the demise of Black Flag. Just when I was about to give up I discovered Hot Snakes, Pitchfork and Drive like Jehu.

[@ibelieveicansoar]

Check out Quicksand, early Unwound, and Venus Beads

[@daveywavey1896]

I JUST discovered these bands after a Spotify recommendation after listening to At the Drive In and fell in love instantly. Then learned about the passing of Rick and was like.....Fuck!!

[@matthewjames206]

Rest peacefully, Rick Froberg 💙

[@wooserthethird]

Hot snakes, drive like jehu, and rocket from the crypt!!! All so good!

[@Έμποροςθανάτου]

...don't forget Pitchfork!!!

[@numsiskit]

OFF! 😁

[@Neenerella333]

Night Marchers too.

[@trykfeil]

I'm 69 years old and I've never done a skate boarding trick, but if I do ever do a skate boarding trick, I hope I do it to these hot rockers and their cool sounds, and then sit down and drink a Diet Shasta.

[@brecktyson9661]

I would sit and drink a Diet Shasta with you anytime, old timer.

[@gwts1171]

John is one of the most genuinely nice guys in the world. No pretentious genes in his body.

[@jedisok13]

Dude bought a battalion of saints record. That is enough to make me respect these guys

[@Jamesp1972]

RIP Rick; one of the best ever

[@chaunche81]

Dang I always considered them to be the best band out of San Diego

[@Paneeks1960]

I picked up their latest album "Jericho Sirens" on vinyl after a friend/fellow collector in the Vinyl Community here on You Tube suggested that I would dig it. He was right. The album is a gem from start to finish. I spun the album for two weeks straight. I am looking forward to the next one~ Rob/Boston

[@jackmcmuscles]

these guys are legendary

[@sonicgrub]

One of the best bands especially live. They throttle hard.

[@Jacknife1199]

OH GAWD. Love hot snakes and drive like jehu

[@Nate_H.]

Living legends!

[@AlexHerter]

Also worth mentioning that minus Rick the rest of the band put out a couple records as the Night Marchers that rip too. Love Hot Snakes and Reis' plethora of bands.

[@lawnshark025]

Reis and Froberg are legends

[@billyjackoff]

Goddamn, RIP Rick Froberg.

[@evandollas7604]

I highly recommend Ari Farka Toure to anyone. I didn't know about him till this video, and the moment I put a song on of his, I got goosebumps. Such raw emotion in the music. Truly amazing.

[@H1N1777]

So wild to see him mentioned here. I found him on Radiooooo! It’s an online collection of music from any country and any decade. I picked Mali and 1990s by mere chance and found Ali Farka Toure. I dig it.

[@thisdudemanbro]

That Taj Mahal Travellers record is a complete mind-blower.

[@BlackHoleBrew42]

Legends

[@IIMALTEASERII]

Severely under-appreciated band

[@drbooks]

Man, I want every frkn thing they pulled out their bags. Great band with great taste.

[@the_clueless_traveller]

SO GOOD! I got into Hot Snakes through RFTC, big love for Speedo! Batallion of Saints are one of my fave hardcore bands :)

[@jesslinde2378]

RIP Rick!

[@paulburg826]

These guys rock so hard, but then the guitarist said. Wait I need my glasses. Man so glad I discovered these guys

[@patient666zero]

Thanks for listening to Gamelan, Respect Sir 👏🏻

[@sonicgrub]

My all-time fave album was produced by John Reis - On The Mouth by Superchunk.

[@Bubblun1]

Precision Auto sounds like proto-Hot Snakes

[@sonicgrub]

@@Bubblun1 totally

[@sonicgrub]

Dbomb Danny really?

[@pabloisusi6097]

I´ve got it, on cd!!!! I bought it like 20 years ago. I´m and old fart.

[@popetones7400]

I've listened to "on the mouth" 10k times and never realized that. Very cool, makes sense. Also never realized how similar Rick's vox sound to Batallion of Saints.

[@georgeharrison70]

R.I.P., Rick.

[@JeremyBentonOliveria1973]

Rest in peace Rick Froberg

[@user-ni3or4hw8q]

These were such great picks!!

[@Jeremyramone]

Whoa this one was quite great. Thanks kindly. Last 2 songs are truly toe tappers

[@topshagger1321]

Really glad I got to see these guys live in Orlando about a year ago, they are fuckin great live and I couldn’t hear shit for a few hours after the show

[@jacdixie]

John Reis is my guitar hero.

[@scipio123]

Mine too!

[@popetones7400]

Rip Froberg, another 100% real one gone way too early

[@sean0009]

Saw these guys in Santa Cruz and the next day we went into covid lockdown. They killed that night! Can't wait to see them again. Come play Asheville!

[@cakredi4132]

Kids, these dads can rock harder than your skateboard trucks.

[@Ben_Mdws]

Seen these guys play live in Cambridge twice. They were awesome.

[@FANKANable]

Hot Snakes rules.

[@Neenerella333]

Swami Speedo Jon Reis!!!

[@jejealin]

estos videos tienen que durar por lo menos el doble!!!! viva Hot Snakes!!!!

[@ericvsthem]

Rest in peace, Rick 😥

[@mrzima138]

If OFF! still a thing? Love that stuff too.

[@harbourdogNL]

Rick was my next door neighbour in Brooklyn. Mr Mellow until he was on stage. Then, look out!

[@polianarchy]

WHERE'S GAR

[@Whityfisks]

He forgot his insulin

[@trykfeil]

he's in an airlock! he's in an iron lung! he's on a gurney! he was warned! he's in a drawer! he's in a bag! he's on a lazy susan! he's on the slab!

[@daveEmartin]

I love you guys but I miss Gar heeps! Nice vinyl picks tho!

[@ARogolino1]

my favorite band name.

[@bimscutney1242]

Speedo from Rocket from the Crypt! They were awesome.

[@stealthyBLK]

can't go wrong with these dudes ,nice picks

[@MsCygnusX1]

John looks like Jello Biafra a bit. Bert Jansch- yes!!

[@DDechoes87]

Some Bert and Ali... Nice.

[@ARTANE01]

Any chance for another RFTC record?

[@dpclerks09]

Of course the drummer picks a gamelan record. awesome picks all around. explains why their music's so good. Rest in Peace, Rick 💔

[@Schlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff]

RIP Rick

[@amycimprich6291]

I'm gonna cry if I watch this. I'll have to check it out later. There are some VERY upsetting videos floating around on KZbin since Rick's passing. 😢

[@lucasmerrill3206]

Shout out to my mans for dropping the gamelan music. When shows happen again I’m gonna hope you play Detroit, buy you a beer and talk those tunes

[@lucasmerrill3206]

Oh, looks like I gotta talk to Rick about Bert Jansch too.

[@birdy1numnum]

I saw these guys and they ripped it up however the headliner band was METZ and they absolutely blasted...kinda made Hot Snakes sound tame imho.

[@scipio123]

Just cause you're louder doesn't mean you're better. Hot Snakes are about 10x better than Metz.

[@Neenerella333]

I love both a lot. Even though I got more history seeing all the Speedo/Froberg projects through the 90s.

[@cpuassassin1422]

I never heard of Hot Snakes so when I saw the thumbnail and just judged them on there looks I thought there were going to have terrible taste in music damn was I wrong.

[@retlaw190]

Amazing band!

[@axes3562]

main guy is the guitarist in drive like jehu

[@danieldudular2146]

You should check them out! Suicide Invoice is one of the best rock records to come out of the 2000s

[@formalino]

What about their looks made you think they had terrible taste?

[@hivemonkey3]

@@axes3562 other guitar was in drive like jehu too, I think
