This is The GREATEST Musical Performance of All-Time!!

[@davidgburek5995]

Hands down the most unknown greatest songwriter that no one has ever heard of.

[@HankBukowski]

I've turned a few people into fans over the last 20 years and more than a few have asked me "who is this" when a Dax or a Deadboy or Acid Bath song comes on. Fucking dude is just great. I make everyone listen to him. Friends, neighbors, people in line at a stop light, people with their windows open,...

[@trinidad111]

I was lucky enough to run into a dude that introduced me to agents of oblivion which lead me to deadboy. My dogs name Daxx because of him. He has one of the most incredible voices and is a masterful songwriter. He will always be my favorite singer. Truly unique

[@Rezin9]

Correction he's the greatest underground singer you've never heard of!

I fucking love Dax. New album in 25 and Acid Bath reunion. Long-time fans are eating good!

[@oynlengeymer2434]

and its kanye and Swift that make money.. I think if Dax was around in 70's he woulda been huge!

[@ShaggyShagz13]

Dax is only as famous as he wants to be. I'm still surprised he let "I, Zombie" use one of his songs.

[@headlessdisco730]

He definitely deserves more recognition, but I doubt he wants fame. He's amazing where he's at, just a dude who makes very good music, that inspires us, and keeps us standing up.

[@GATAGEAR]

I saw him live, it was a small venue, and I was on another planet the whole time. Taken away by the melodic rituals and sounds.

[@sludgefactor6332]

Dax and Layne are 1A and 1B in my book! I’m speaking totally of my ears! Everyone has their favorites. Those two just happen to be mine.

[@Socks4free]

Agreed Layne and dax are two of the best singers to ever live. I first heard dax when I was like 5 when my uncle would put acid bath on the cd player for me. I used to beg to listen to him all the time and love all his music to this day

[@KinoRunner_]

Big respect. Two of my favourite naturally-talented singers, and I'm just one of a chorus of millions.

[@JDubzDrumz]

I know I'm 10 months late to reply, He came to Kansas City when I was in University... With his solo tour... I told a friend he had to come to this hole in the wall bar with me to see him. My friend was a real Jerk about everything... Dax walked in and my friend starts shouting "DAX RIGGATONI!!!" I told my friend to stop or we'd get thrown out... Dax got on stage... My friend and everyone in their were in awe once the music started... For what that's worth, some small hole in the wall bar in Kansas City over 12 years ago that prolly doesn't even exist anymore, everyone was in shock and you could only hear Dax's music. Dax stumbled off stage and the audience begged for an encore... I walked to the hall way side stage where him and the drummer were leaning against the walls... Dax looked at his drummer and they both were cackling like kids, and his drummer goes "We can even walk bro how we gonna do this!", the bartender had been feeding them drink after drink all night unfortunately :( , I stuck my hand out... The drummer smirked and said "Here goes nothin! Thanks man!" I helped the drummer back to his kit. They played two more songs and killed and then sat down on the stage and the place slowly emptied out. My friend looked at me and said "DUDE! I FEEL LIKE A JERK! HOLY CRAP! THATS THE BEST BAND IVE SEEN! WHO WAS THAT GUY AGAIN?!?! SIR WHATS YOUR NAME!? WHO ARE YOU? THERES NO WAY YOU ARE JUST SOME SMALL TIME MUSICIAN!" Dax was slumped over on the stage leaning against his amp exhausted trying to breathe. Thats the thing, I'll never forget that show as long as I live... Probably everyone else that was there won't either.

Before Acid Bath he had Golgotha, afterwards he had many bands, such as Agents of Oblivion, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, and Daisyhead & The Mooncrickets. Best singer and songwriter in my opinion.

Still my favorite Deadboy lineup hands down. My friends and I used to go see them anytime they played in Lafayette. Their Grant Street Dancehall performances were god tier. Case in point on display here. I'm pretty sure I was at this show if it was Grant Street. And its a damn shame this lineup never put out an album. All the material was killer.

Dax Riggs was also the lead singer of Acid Bath and I think every member of Limp Bizkit would bend the knee to the badassery of Acid Bath. But seriously. He may sing like an angel but his resume is that he was the singer for one of the heaviest metal bands of the 90s, one whose legacy is highly influential and respected.
