I'm pretty sure this was Quake 97 at Cafe Express at it's 2nd location in Mt Juliet. There were 10 bands over the course of the day. Sidetracked played earlier in the day. The lead singer and rhythm guitarist are currently mega-church pastors in Mt Juliet and Murfreesboro. Living Sacrifice, a metal band from Little Rock with lead guitarist Rocky Gray who would go on to play drums for the first major Evanescence tour cancelled last minute. Wedding Party, probably the 2nd most successful Christian Goth band of all time played later in the afternoon. I have their performance on a cassette tape. RIP Chad and Will. This show went way into the night. It was headlined after most people left by Klank, the former touring guitarist for Circle Of Dust, an industrial metal band on REX records (with labelmates Sixpence None The Richer) who's lead would eventually do all of the music for Kriss Angel and reinvent himself as Celldweller. I lost a box moving out of my freshman dorm in 1999 that had all of the posters, flyers, setlists, negatives, pictures from the event. It was the first day I ever wore my contacts, and the smoke machine really did work on them.

I called that phone number and asked them to say a prayer for my bong

Kick always tune in A. Funny quirk.

Saw them in Mesa, AZ. The Nile basement.

Fun show! The Kick rules! Thanks for posting!

Saw them in Flint,MI with Me Without You. Maybe 02-04, somewhere on there. First time hearing of them, thought they were good, never heard from em again. Not like we had Spotify or UA-cam then

Do you know if any footage of the '01 show exists? I haven't found it at all, and I'm pretty sure that's the one where he stole my yellow hat.

YES!

So so rare

I was the guy in the yellow hat at the first Forever Young show at Cornerstone! It was amazing!

The hidden track on fight the system was certainly another hint of the glam influence. I didn't know there were two demos before Bombs. Going to have to find that second one other than Apocalypse Now (which I heard on Songs from the Penalty Box 3)

January 2022. Is this new album out and I have missed it, or is it still in the works?

Great interview. Moving to part II shortly. Began listening to Squad 5-0 with the release of What I Believe. From 97-00, saw them live multiple times. Still listen to their first two albums to this day, with the 2002 self titled album in the mix as well. Great band with amazing stage presence and energy. Never met them, but they seem like genuinely nice people. Thank you for making the music that you did.

This show was at Pterodactyl in Marietta, GA.

Old school! Nice!

You should have asked them about their very strange 911 predictive lyrics for their 2000 song "Bombs over Broadway"...would have loved to hear their response and to the bizarre album cover of that album. They even mention "Ground Zero" in their lyrics...very very odd

I own Skank Em Danno, thanks to Adam

Legends

Uhh hey why wasn’t I asked to be a part of this Adam? Sorry but did I not play at cornerstone with them once thereby making me an official member? Consider me OFFENDED

I could not agree more with the assessment of the Self Titled era being the golden age of Squad Five-O. I saw them several times that year and every show is still vivid in my mind as some of the best live experiences of my entire life. Cornerstone 2002 was incredible! I have some great photos of their set taken from side stage. Unfortunately I missed the Forever Young set. My friend who was camping with me came back to our site excitedly, telling me all about what I'd missed.

Saw squad at the Skamania in Salem OR. Jeff had bleached hair and the drummer (I forget who) had long brown hair. They took the stage and immediately played the opening chords of Smells Like Teen Spirit, looking just like Nirvana. Crowd went nuts, Jeff stopped and said “you northwesterners. You fall for that every time.” And laughed at all of us. It was great. They also introduced me and my friends to the movie Pootie Tang (Sah dah tay, my damie) and we still quote that movie to this day. Bombs was a great album but More like the Demos would be an awesome rerelease. Great band, great guys.

So epic! Love these guys, I can hear them talk all day

Late news is so awesome... And leave it to John Giddens to say it. I haven't seen that guy in years. Miss you John!

Great interview! I enjoyed it.

Loved this interview! I remember getting into Squad sometime in college (1998) when I saw a punk rocker walking around campus wearing a Squad Five-O hoodie with the cobra logo. Saw the band live many times and I agree with Jeff, one of the best live shows out there. Lots of fond memories being in the crowd singing/shouting along.

I had the BMX demo. I was 13...and I just thought they were so awesome.

wait a second 😅 completely forgot your had a twin jefe
