LIFE OF AGONY Thoughts On Earlier Work, Mina Caputo Transition, and New Album! | Metal Injection

[@MarkBanegas]

This is my second favorite band of all time. Met Joey when they were on tour with Anthrax. The local radio station did a promotion at a bowling alley, and I won the raffle to bowl on a team with him and Frank Bello of Anthrax. He is such a cool dude, and made a lifelong fan.

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

LOA for life!!!! Their music has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life and I'll be a fan till the day I die. I haven't seen them live since the 90's but I home to catch them live again as the world gets back to normal.

[@caiserciezclown8691]

Mina Caputo is my most loved transhuman being! The soul of an artist stands always above sex and gender anyway!

[@clintonhx616]

Alan's lyrics on the first 3 albums stand out in my life. Those album credits are religious relics. Mold Makers right here.

[@scowlfarm3061]

I remember River Runs Red being released when I was seventeen years old and the impact LOA's music had on m and still does.

[@KevinStudent]

Solid interview! These guys seem like they're in a good spot now.

[@StormgodStudios]

this is a really great interview. Frank fucking rocked this. solid clear and focused . well done

[@deluge71]

Fantastic interview. Very honest.

[@andrewjohnfillery5954]

Not only brilliant musicians but also amazing role-models to combat toxic masculinity. Fucking love them!

[@SuppressioHibernicis]

You're a male and you talk about "toxic masculinity", you sad fool. Let me guess: you probably take gay marriage seriously too, and are "feminist". When life of agony first came out we didn't have any of this pc bullshit.

[@Deadletter6]

Enable Victim mentality

[@richardvalentine5671]

One of the greatest band's ever Joey Z is the greatest LOA rules

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Great interview.

[@THESNEAKERADDICT]

I just don;t get why they changed their sound after River Runs Red

[@clintonhx616]

People grow Bro.

[@Rouotha]

@Scott Smith you're not evolving.

[@Rouotha]

@Scott Smith Yes. after all, everyone has their own way. if you do not understand the other way, it does not mean that it regresses.

[@macktrainor5223]

I think I might be because of type O maybe they didn't wanna chase the baritone Peter Steele type sound on this time maybe

[@robertwiegand9927]

I think every band changes if the want to stay relevant. I definitely prefer river runs red style but when something stops being fun for you you either hang it up or change. Listen to any band that's been around 10, 20 years and their earlier albums are definitely different to what they are now.

[@benjibanks7894]

Great live band. Seen em back in the early 2000's in Pittsburgh.

[@Rouotha]

1993 | River runs... to a place where there's no more pain! | 2017

[@aliciarodriquez3074]

Awesome

[@truckguy6666]

Absolutely legendary music in RRR, SSS, Ugly.... The lyrics, the strings & skins, Keiths vocals!!!! I mean absolutely as raw and badass as it gets. I cant quite get into anything other than their first 3 albums. But man o man was the beginning of this band incredible. Happy for everyone regardless even if Im not a huge fan. WIsh I would have seen them live in the early 2000s when I had the chance.

[@edguygz7889]

Awesome Interview

[@Ferrislilly]

RRR and Ugly their best work. You could tell Keith wasn't into it after their second album. I still long for another album like RRR but I'll always have that album to go back to. I wish these guys and girls the best.

[@elboop-othebuttholebooper212]

Nah dude... Broken Valley was an absolutely incredible work of art! Give it another spin. As much as I’ll always be emotionally attached to Ugly, I still say Broken Valley is hands down their best album, sonically speaking.

[@clintonhx616]

Great interview.

[@Klaproossje]

Sweet!

[@LeeAnnWitt-bo8zg]

I miss lamores and limelight in nyc im from Brooklyn ny besonhurst ❤but I'm in nj now😂i miss the 90s

[@GigiBellia]

I can only speak for me and my oldschool metalhead friends, but I wish she would have known that her gender would never matter. Might have had alot to do with family. I come from Sicilian family, every gay/trans person in my family came out pretty late. That was weird to write. Quite a few of them...wow. Brooklyn also. All from first generation immigrants. In my opinion it's a combo of nature/nurture. These kids now have no idea what toxic masculinity is if they never experienced a dad born in the 30s or 40s that came to America from Sicily.

[@nobodyyouknow]

Good stuff.

[@brianhernandez3798]

one of the best bands!!!

[@ronaldtravis970]

Great people 👍

[@selvmortsydd]

Solid interview, but? Alan only noticed the last show of the tour that Keith was transitioning? Sounds strange, shouldn't you notice that earlier. This is not something that develops in a day..

[@clintonhx616]

Dude's a workhorse man. Imagine being a genius and having to interpret people. Ya get me?

[@bradleyroe6801]

What ever happened to the PCP kids that followed them around. I got alot of bloody lips from the beating in the pit from them.

[@meghandavis8753]

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK???!!!

[@AlphachadEpicCollector]

The DUDES from Life of Agony, as opposed to.....

[@rootsgrassusa]

Feel bad for Keith.

[@RippinToons]

Mina. Its Mina.

[@rootsgrassusa]

IllVillainous feel bad for the man formerly known as Keith, who now thinks he is a woman, and now goes by the name Mina*

[@Vrangor]

@@rootsgrassusa I know it might be hard, i had to figure this out and imagine myself, but You must look at this from the different perspective, She always KNEW She was a woman and that She was caged in a man`s body. Might seem a sci-fi but it`s life. It could happen to anyone. And don`t feel bad for Her, She`s happy now;)

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

@@Vrangor I think he is intimidated by Mina's life choices and doesn't understand it, it can be a tough thing to grasp

[@Vrangor]

@@LeadMe2TheBliss You're right. But on the other hand it's very simple. The thing is how You decide to look at it:)

[@hinjurock]

Say "he", not "she" when referring to Keith prior to his/her gender issues.

[@clintonhx616]

Respect that person who put down "Yeah, God help me" but later sung Annie Lennox and made us cry. I'd address Keith as Mina just so she doesn't break my jaw. #PERSON

[@elboop-othebuttholebooper212]

What are you the fucking word police? Who the hell do you think you are!?

[@wkeil1981]

It’s a dude though . 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@Hellwyck]

This is what happens when your carer leaves the computer unattended.

[@ChrisS602]

It's hard for US to listen to "newer" stuff AKA most (but not all) of everything after RRR.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Soul Searching Sun is their best album
