Relationship of command is like a bomb going off, it's that record that just does not not stop

[@LieLikesMusic]

So many successful bands loved ATDI at the time. Really cool to look at in retrospect.

[@danieldesoto6787]

even though those two were pretentious as f@#$!!

[@LieLikesMusic]

@@danieldesoto6787 Why do you think so?

[@danieldesoto6787]

really?? just watch their interviews and show

[@joshuamartins9487]

I kinda had a similar occurrence. In winter of 1999 , went to a Boston radio station , holiday concert.. At The Drive in were the opening band . I knew nothing of them. I just remember saying "holy fuck , these guys are INSANE" . I've never seen energy like that , on a stage, to this day .

[@ReeseChown]

He knew about proper rock n roll, great frontman

[@TheAlibabatree]

That bit at the end about great art was very wise. Weiland was a smart man.

[@MrShanester117]

No. No he was not

[@1965maio]

He knew it! ;) RIP Scott

“If you can find something easily, it probably isn’t that great.” I felt that

[@alex10291]

Define

[@gabrielmarcal683]

Man, not a single wrong word here. He was and still is completely right.

[@michaelgraham9774]

Relationship of Command is one of the best albums ever made

[@DjXxXAZAZEL]

Agreed also Acrobatic Tenememt is like a piece of fine art

[@michaelgraham9774]

@DjXxXHardKnight Before the reunion, At The Drive-In had like a perfect run of three good-amazing albums and one awesome ep. Hell even the reunion album and ep aren't terrible

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

He still makes my heart skip a beat💜

[@Liquid_Alchemy]

Thank you so much for this. You just can't get a better endorsement than that from one of the greatest frontmen ever. I miss Scott Weiland so much.

[@bivvystridents3752]

He was kind of a douche.

[@deadbeats4894]

I miss seeing this guy in his prime.

[@Monotremata]

I remember picking up Relationship of Command when it was out and that record got its hooks in me real good. ATDI was on tour in Europe at the time and I thought "I have to see these guys when they get back stateside!" Unfortunately, they decided to disband during that tour so I never got to see them live. And last year, I discovered Drive Like Jehu..... 30+ years too late 😕 DLJ was a big influence on ATDI and their first record is excellent stuff \m/

[@iamwe7035]

aha that is how I felt when I discovered DLJ a couple months ago. I heard Jim (atdis guitarplayer) talking about them on an interview somewhere on youtube.

[@LPManic]

So many bands loved ATDI because they were authentic.

[@StruggleoftheOutsider]

thats crazy Michael Jackson liked fugazi

[@chimbertocaviglia6919]

Yeeesss

[@mcbnj]

high as a kite, nostril brackin

[@MrShanester117]

I was just browsing the Virgin Megastore one day and I put on some headphones and it was Relationship of Command. So glad I stopped that day

[@onemanschorus12]

He looks like Andrew Eldrich here.

[@blackspring3207]

Weiland giving ADTI their flowers while they were still doing it is siq.

[@shannonnunya2973]

Nobody saw Scott dying in front of them? Shame

[@aquapower6388]

Wow guys. Did you hear his words? So wise. He's like a Buddha. On Heroin. Only dead... LIKE BUDDHA!

[@ip3948]

Good words. Bad hat.
