Today we are looking at a highly requested band Acid Bath who were only around for 6 years from 1991-1997 and featured vocalist Dax Riggs, Guitarist Sammy Duet and bassist Audie Pitre who tragically died in 1997. The band seemed to develop a huge underground following, but a full scale reunion seems unlikely. Best known for their debut record "When the Kite String Pops."

A video on Talk Show would be awesome!
Can you do a story of the band Dead Confederate?? What happened to those guys?
Can you possibly look into doing something about the band Life Sex and Death
you should look into another Rotten Records band by the name of Dog Fashion Disco, they also spent years getting screwed over by the record company
New York dolls
When the Kite String Pops is a masterpiece from beginning to end
Hell yes
Agreed
Preach
Absolutely. Put it on and push play
@@danielgoodwin8376 facts! When the Kite String Pops is probably one of the only albums I can listen too in full without needing to skip ANY songs
So happy that people are talking about Acid Bath now!
In hybrid moments, give me a moment
We were always talking about Acid Bath in all the UA-cam videos that got deleted by RR over the years. I'm glad there's someone who made a UA-cam video out of what we felt.
@@giselletorres4156 If y'all need files. I have both albums in mp3 files. I also have both deadboy albums, deadboy, shrum, goatwhore, and both dax albums. lmk
Is your name Jason?
@Derek Breaux I would very much like those files I love Acid Bath mainly bleed me an ocean, Venus blue, and dead girl.
“Paegan Terrorism Tactics” is one of my favorite albums of all time, and Acid Bath is criminally underrated. They have a certain kind of intensity and emotionality that I’ve yet to find with other bands. Depressive, creepy, and heavy.
They're as timeless as Pink Floyd in my opinion.
Word. Fucking legendary.
I might sound crazy for saying this but the edge/appeal I have for nirvana is similar to what I have for acid bath. Acid bath is just way heavier. I feel like they both have a similar mystique and uniqueness that people just gravitate towards. Both bands are such stand outs within their genre
My favourite also
I have that hoodie still to this day.
Saw them at a bar in Baton Rouge back when they were selling their cd out of the trunk of their car, Crowbar opened for them
crowbar opened for acid bath?!? shocked it wasnt the other way around.
I saw them on that tour but in Shreveport. It’s was after Audi passed away and “joe” was filling in on bass.
And then Sammy joined Crowbar
What year was this?
\m/
I never thought I'd hear this sentence in my entire life: 'acid bath were influenced by Simon and Garfunkel'
Obviously Dax was also heavily influenced by Jim Morrison.
It was on account of Dax huge range of folk influences that a Simon and Garfunkel influence is presumed to be true. Whether or not they specifically influenced Acid Bath's sound is a matter of conjecture (or maybe I'm just saying that because I fucking hate Simon and Garfunkel? Lol)
Really?
Well listening to a song like Bones of baby dolls it's not that shocking
@@allanokeefe104 That song, fellow Acid Bather, has no vocal harmonies, not a single consonant sound in the melody and lyrics a damn sight darker than anything Simon and Garfunkel would have ventured to write even if they could have gotten away with it in their era. Same goes for every softer song they've ever written (With the possible exception of the uncharacteristically cheerful final parts of Dead Girl). I know you didn't say it first, but SandG Acid Bath will never be!
"Dax Riggs' vocals have a dark current running through them". I'll take understatements for $600, Alex.
Yeah I'd say it's more like a river of blood
Check out All them witches their a great band to listen to as well
@@inkydigitz haha yep, torrent of darkness
😂😂😂🤟💯Right
Their two albums are the best within any metal genre
. That sound and style will never be duplicated along with the lyrics.
Dude can I ask you a question? Which character or movie your profile picture is? I know that but I don't remember and in order to win the bet that I've made with my friend, I need to know that 🙂 thanks in advance 🙂
@@sesymikulus2694 oh it's cool..
It's from David Lynch's movie, Eraserhead
@@spacealienjesus709 I knew was David Lynch but don't remember which movie was 😅 thanks dude you save my money 😉👍🏻
Nah listen to more metal
The first time I heard Acid Bath was in 1997. I saw the cover for When the Kite String Pops at a CD shop in the mall and purchased based off the cover and band name. I went in to the listen expecting something similar to Marilyn Manson, but was pleasantly surprised that I was way off. That album is one of the greatest metal albums ever made. Acid Bath is by far one of the most underrated bands of all time.
I kinda miss those days when you bought albums on a whim based on artwork. I remember some cds would have "For fans of..." stickers on them. It was also a cool moment when one of your fav bands released a new album and you had no idea how it would be until you bought it.
Cassie Eats Cockroaches and Scream of the Butterfly were the first songs Ive ever heard by them and I've been hooked since. Long live Acid Bath
Paegan Love Song was the first one for me but Dr. Seuss is Dead is what totally blew my mind wide open. Literally the first band in years where I felt like I'd truly discovered something special.
Scream of the Butterfly brings tears to my eyes every time!!!
@@loveandnapalm I dated a herion addict this song describes her waaaaaaay to well. 💔💉🦋
For me, it was _Bones of Baby Dolls_ and _Scream of the Butterfly_
So, I grew up in Houma, I listened to these guys when I was in high school before their debut album came out. I knew Sammy's roommate, I've been to the house in Thibodaux that he talks about. Let me say this was a very well done overview of the band. You are correct in that by the second album there was a sense that Acid Bath was not far from breaking up. There were rumors and whispers back then that it was inevitable, before Audie died. Everyone had their own little side project going on. Sammy had Goatwhore, which was just a three piece at the time with Sammy doing vocals. Audie had Shrum, which was a doom/stoner kind of thing. And Dax had Daisyhead and the Mooncrickets, which was a more acoustic, dark hippie kind of vibe. Their creative differences were starting to splinter.
Also, one of their original guitar players, back when they were transitioning from Golgotha to Acid Bath, went on to play for another Louisiana band called Choke. And yet another band from Houma who I was friends with, used to open for Acid Bath all the time in the area. They were originally called Fuel but had to change their name to Fractured because of the other band Fuel. The drummer and bass player from Fractured would go on to play with Dax and Mike in Agents of Oblivion after the Acid Bath break up.
As for Rotten Records, they live up to their name. At the time there were only two bands signed to the label. DRI was one, and Acid Bath was the other. That was it, that was the label's entire roster. (EDIT: at the time when Acid Bath was first signed. Obviously, they added more bands later. They were a brand new record company at that time) I'm not sure about the relationship between DRI and Rotten Records or exactly how the label got started, but I was always under the impression that, at least at that time, that a member of DRI was business partners with someone from Rotten Records. I can't verify any of that, just going off what I had heard, but Spike Cassidy from DRI produced the first Acid Bath album and they went on tour together after that release. Acid Bath's tour bus consisted of a repainted school bus. They had boarded up the windows and had a window unit a/c hanging out the back. Completely ghetto, but they weren't exactly taking in huge amounts of money and support from the record company was shit. To this day Acid Bath sales are probably still their biggest cash cow.
Anyway, great job with the video. If anyone is interested on my channel I have a series of videos discussing the different metal genres, and I mention the New Orleans sludge metal scene in one of them, including Acid Bath.
Thanks. I never even realized that about New Orleans and I only live 2 1/2 hours away.
Only a band from Houma could make that music.
@Craven thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check out your channel!
Nice response
Hell yea! I’m from Thib!
Acid bath was extremely underrated
That's part of their charm.
Thank you for knowing who Acid Bath is. All of you. Good job.
Acid Bath was HUGE in northeast Ohio in the late 90s. The metal heads rocked it. The hippie kids rocked it. The jocks rocked it. That band was pretty much the one thing all the cliques at school had in common. Good times.
I'm from Columbus and in the mid to late 90s these guys were huge. Well, huge in the scene I hung out in lol.
One of my favorite bands of all time! When The Kite String Pops is a classic!
Fuck yeah brother
The Bones Of Baby Dolls is probably a favorite of mine. Such a dark, acoustic track.
I love it, but Scream Of The Butterfly is my hymn... Do You know demo version of ''The Bones...'' ?
It is on youtube, its pretty haunting. Acid Bath never die!
Bleed me an ocean
I'd love to hear Dax do anything again with his harsh metal vocals and lyrics. He's got such a unique sound within the genre that's not only brutal and explosive but razor sharp, poetic, electric and captivatingly aggressive. Let's collectively manifest this desire and maybe the muses will provide the energy required to those necessary to make it happen! 👍✌️
honestly it’s really sad to hear that he’s not super interested in it anymore. he has an amazing and beautiful voice, can do so many things w it and it’s unfortunate that he doesn’t feel the passion anymore
@@alexobrien1500 tell me y'all was aware he's in a few bands correct?
He wants to preserve his singing voice. He doesn't scream anymore
Pagan was a classic under rated album... “dying felt so god
damn good today, if i was ever alive well its hard to say”

Douse my love everything with gasoline.
A few years back I started listening to a lot of stoner rock and doom metal on Google Play. Then one day out of the blue, Acid Bath's Bleed Me an Ocean showed up in my recommendations. My life hasn't been the same since.
Eyehategod?
Great fucking tune.
Right?! I love the demo version of Bleed Me An Ocean because it has more of a heavier sludge sound 🤘🏻
I cant even explain the ride you go through listening to when the kite string pops what an amazing album . Such an underrated band his vocal range is incredible
Some of the best metal music EVER made. They have crazy range.
Acid Bath is one of my favorite discoveries from the past year. Damn shame it ended so soon. I always thought of them as if death and thrash metal got lost in the bayou.
When the Kite String Pops is the only album i can listen too over and over without skipping a song. It's literally a must listen.
Yep, never get sick of it. Best album ever
Both Acid Bath albums are masterpieces.
If you don’t know, Dax’s album We Sing Of Only Blood Or Love is a damn masterpiece. Get on it!
And it sucks
That one and say goodnight to the world
Agents of Oblivion is his best spin off.
“night is the notion” is an awesome tune.
Barefoot in the dark
Cant remember where i heard them, but i think it was Graveflower and to this day its one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. BTW im from Lithuania :D
found a CD in an old radio i bought from a garage sale back in the day. FIrst Acid Bath CD. Best ten bucks i ever spent
I spent 10 bucks just on the CD 😂
I found When The Kite String Pops in someone’s backpack they left under my desk in 9th grade; best backpack I ever stole.
atleast you got a free radio out of it
10 bucks is expensive for a garage sale
I remember back in HS, when I was exploring metal beyond Nu-metal and what many Navajos considered as the standard metal (Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc.). I had a friend who loved Sludge, Stoner, Black, Death and Doom Metal, the genres that were a little more extreme. We had a CD player and small speakers that we would plug in and listen to during lunch. A friend popped in Paegan Terrorism Tactics and the opening song was just out of this world to my years. I don't think anything could prepare me for that style because of its heavy yet so much groove that you could not help but head bang to it. That alone started my love for the metal beyond the big 4 and foundational groups.
Hell yeah!
I am from south Louisiana and have been a fan of Acid Bath since the 90s. Criminally underrated band, but hey its good that people are finally hearing about them.
it was late 90s for me, was in a cd store and saw the artwork, i took it to the listening station and listened to the preview of the first track, the section that played was
"Trippin' on real blood in strange sunshine
Have you felt such weight upon your eyes
Sister I been trippin' in your sky
I woke up adrift in a Technicolor bliss
Ten million miles high..." and i bought it immediately
Holy shit i never imagined i'd ever see a history of acid bath pop up in my suggestions. cheers!
Arguabley one of the best voices in music!
I wish is was still 1996, that was the best year ever.
10-4 to that! Holy crap you have no idea how right you are...
The 90's was such a great time for music and really everything in general.
'96 was my birth year. Wish I lived through the 90s. The final years before... whatever the hell kind of society we have today.
96 and 97 yea man
Well done! Thank you for pronouncing Houma correctly, it’s rare to hear someone get it right. I grew up in the bayou (still here) and these guys might as well be Catholic saints for the amount of veneration they get around these parts. One time Dax called my phone in an attempt to get in touch with someone else, and he was so soft spoken I didn’t realize he was the same Dax that sang for Acid Bath. Seems like everyone has a personal story about them because it’s such a small world here. I am glad to see that people are turning others onto their music because they were severely underrated for a long time.
Fuckin right. From Larose right here. And yeah, a very small world here.
Pointe Aux Chenes born here. This band was one I was too young to get into back in my younger years but these days I love them. No one can get that truly sludge sound right if they ain't from da bayou
You skipped over Agents Of Oblivion. I had a couple friends who were huge Acid Bath fans in high school. They saw them live a few times, including one of the times they played after Audie died. Then when Agents was together they would travel and see almost every show. There are some AoB shows on UA-cam. Most of them were recorded by my friends. Agents put out one record that is worth checking out if you like the slower AB stuff.
i really liked Deadboy and the Elephantmen too
Yep, I wish Agents of Oblivion had another album in them.
Agents fucking kicks ass. Never got to see them live sadly. I didn't get into Acid Bath until a few years after they were done either. I did see the original Deadboy lineup once and also Deadboy 2.0 (Lucas etc) multiple times but dipped out when the 3.0 (drummer + guitarist) era rolled around. Saw Dax live at Voodoo in '07 and I saw him 5 or 6 times acoustic in Lafayette, LA throughout 2003-2006ish too. All great shows.
Also if any former Deadboy.net folks are lurking around on here hit me up. I'd love to hear how you guys are doing.
Hell yeah dude that Agents album is impeccable!
Agents of Oblivion were absolutely incredible!
Gotta say thank you for introducing me to them. Hadn’t heard of them before watching this video and now I am helplessly obsessed.
You’re welcome
Discovered Acid Bath around 97-98 in high school through a friend who saw them play a show with Marilyn Manson in 95 or 96. Later in life my band got to play a few shows with Goatwhore and party with Sammy as well as Audie's brother. Wasn't sober enough to remember much from those days very clearly, but no regrets.
I'm originally from Biloxi, Ms and grew up with these guys! I met them twice, once at a Soulfly concert at The House of Blues in New Orleans. I was wearing an Acid Bath shirt and standing in line and someone started pulling on my shirt and saying "nice shirt bro"... I turned around and it was Sammy the guitarist with a shit eaten grin on his face... Talked to him for awhile, really cool dude! I also met Dax Riggs and Mike Sanchez at an Agents of Oblivion show in Gulfport MS... Also very cool dudes, Dax actually ended up going to my cousin's house and playing his acoustic guitar and getting high, lol! Those were the days!🤘🏻
I know who this is😉
LoL Ocean Springs here
I seen them play at Zeppelin's... Was a killer show.
228 this is 601
Small world, grew up in Vancleave, MS
From north Louisiana myself ,these guys and crowbar were everywhere in my high school good time s
HELL YES!!!! Love me some Acid Bath and Crowbar!
My band Feid used to tour with both of them bands back in 94 to 96 . Check us out we got a video on UA-cam called
Feid - Come Hell or high water
Grew up Outside of Baton Rouge, and these guys were as big as Metallica at my high school.
I’m from New Orleans these guys we’re always local heroes
I met this dude from Louisiana in 1998 through a mutual friend... we were both into metal and the band Crowbar...he asked if I had ever listened to Acid Bath... I said "huh"?... He played the songs "Dr. Seuss is Dead" and "Graveflower" for me.... I was hooked!
I am from Louisiana, and I known about these guys forever, but weird thing is, when I moved to Florida people were telling me how big they were in Japan, especially Agents of Oblivion
Lots of Louisiana's music is popular in Japan. Here in the states you won't hear any buzz outside the state. I moved out of Louisiana recently and learned not to say the word coonasse pretty quickly.
@@StandWatie1862 what does that word mean? I tried to Google but nothing came up,I'm just curious here,lol
@@aarondavis4341 that's because of spell check. It's spelled connasse and it means asshole. The French gave us the nickname in ww2. We were interpreters.
Noisy Japan did an 8 episode documentary about Louisiana music with down, crowbar, eyehategod, acidbath etc. it is excellent. It’s in English w/ Japanese subtitles.
@@flagsabbath6483 that sounds great. Link? Search turned up nothing
I still have both CD'S from the 90s. Saw them live in Houma once. Acid Bath is like Tool to me, tons of emotion pulled out of every song!
The crown jewels of my cd collection. Two of the best albums of the 90's
If you read the back of the Kite String cd they thank Robert and Mike C of Crestview. Those are my brothers. We fixed Jimmy Kyle's camaro when it broke down. I was invited to my first Acid Bath gig.
@@CC-ug3ld l to
Dax Riggs is our current Jim Morrison. Acid Bath is still today one of my favorite bands \m/
A band with so much potential. I miss them
These guys were very close friends of mine. Their band used to play shows with the band I was in. I still talk to Sammy and Jimmy, from time to time. Acid Bath was a unique metal band, with a powerful chemistry, musically.
Hell yeah. If you're Cajun then you know Acid Bath.
" When the kite string pops" Is easily my favorite metal CD of all time.
I'm so excited to get myself a copy!
@@vixenlover2369 Well, how did you like it?
I can still remember a friend of a relative of one of the band members giving me a cassette of a demo before the 1st album came out and playing "Scream of the Butterfly" the 1st time lit up in mini-trailer miles deep in the Louisiana swamp/woods in the middle of the night. I weirdly ran into the redheaded girl I was up against on the 1st row of their concert in 1995, 10 years later and hooked up with them then and still know them today. Being the same age and coming from close to the same area as the band... my own personal music and life influences made Acid Bath seem like a personal expression that was waiting to come out, like I could've been another member of the band myself if I'd have run into them a couple years earlier. That haunting soundscape is something straight from the soul of a small group of people back then in the early 90's growing up in the deep swamps and woods of south Louisiana... an audible epiphany from the souls of a time and place that no longer exist since the internet and current mass-society. The last people from a middle-of nowhere, unique landscape, in the dying days before everyone and everywhere became the same...
My mother actually introduced this band to me when I was around 11-12 years old with the song "scream of the butterfly". It was her favourite song.
I grew up with this band in Louisiana, many fond memories. Thank you for putting the time into recognizing their story.
I'm from Sioux Falls, SD, and was told by a dude that runs one of our independent music stores that outside of Louisiana, South Dakota was the largest selling...area for Acid Bath. I have no idea if that's true, but the band is worshiped in this town, and played at least four or five times. Which, considering the scene way back then, is incredible.
This band should be so much bigger than they are. The sky was the limit with their potential. Those two albums are so creative & interesting. It kills me that there isn't more material out there.
Seeing bands from my area get talked about is so heartwarming, in all honesty. My dad met one of the members, not sure which though he never specified lol. RIP Audie and long live Acid Bath!!
Acid Bath was a pretty big deal where I live on the Gulf Coast. Dax Riggs still plays at various bars in the surrounding cities. The bar I worked at used to get pretty packed out on nights Dax plays.
I opened up for Acid Bath on their first tour in Pennsylvania and I got to hang out with Dax for a few hours at a bar in PA when they returned in 1996. Coolest guy in the business and still the best band we opened for. RIP Acid Bath. They should have been the biggest band in that era. They were amazing.
Acid Bath would play at local heavy metal and rock and roll bars here in the panhandle of Florida back in the 90's. Ft. Walton Beach area actually. When they came to town, you went! They never disappointed and ALWAYS fucking rocked like no one else back in the day. And there was damn good bands with some serious talent in this area back then. But Acid Bath was on another level! A fucking phenomenal live band! Great video, really enjoyed this one. Brought back some crazy awesome memories. Damn was it great in this area back in the 80's and 90's. The music scene was EVERYWHERE. Off the damn charts and what a time to be a teenager or young adult.
Acid Bath is one of the best and most unappreciated bands to have ever graced the earth
That is the truth
Most underrated band in sludge... or metal for that matter... or maybe even rock generally.
Lead guitarist Michael Sanchez is my first cousin and we still rock together in 2020........
Mike and I became good friends, about 7 or 8 years ago, he was doing cable work; really funny story with a mutual friend (who incidentally was a good friend of Sammy's after doing Goatwhore merch on a tour way way back)... I got in touch with him again this past February, but we weren't able to meet up. I hope he's doing well. Truly a great guy, always good company. And he has great taste in music!
Hes still doing good.......him and my son are face timing these days.....he is teaching my son to play.....
When they popped up on my Spotify playlist I kinds ignored them because I’ve never heard of them. But when I finally let one play through it blew my mind
I'm glad I stumbled into this. Great video!
I saw them play twice sometime in '96 in Baltimore and somewhere in Virginia. A buddy of mine grew up in the same town as one one of the guys in the band so he invited a group of us to see them play. My favorite memory was the night our car broke down in the middle of nowhere Virginia late at night after having seen Acid Bath play. As we were walking in a direction we hoped would lead us to a gas station, we finally saw headlights in the distance. The headlights belonged to bus painted black sporting a demon hood ornament. It was like the beginning of a horror movie! The doors open and Audie Pitre asked if we needed a ride as smoke billowed out of the bus. We looked at each other and said,"No thanks. We're good." "Suite yourself!" Doors closed. Metal blasting, the bus pulled away.
That original Gacy painting hung right at my side for a long time. We sold original Gacy paintings at the record store I helped run in Tampa, The Alternative Record Store. Funnily enough I was born right next to Houma and lived there until I was 13. FYI, we Cajuns pronounce Pitre as “pea tree.”
Thanks for posting this. They deserve the recognition
I was lucky enough to see them a few times in 1995 and 1996. Those shows were intense ,especially in those small clubs in Louisiana.
When I was in high school a friend of mine found a cd case on the side of the road, it had paegan terrorism tactics in it. He let me have it and I’ve been listening to them ever since.
“The only one of four people to survive” *inserts stock footage of “doctors” looking at a hand x-ray* nice
Thought the same thing
I really liked the "showing your friends or significant other acid bath's music" cut to beautiful rich couple on the beach
I still remember the mail order list for rotten records that we had to order both of these records back in 95 -96
My friend gave me a burned copy of when the kite string pops when he moved to Montana from Texas in the mid nineties. Was nothing like anything I heard before here! Loved it and showed anyone and everyone I could!
Acid Bath one of my favourite bands of all time, my parents introduced me and I’ve loved them ever since. I also found out I’m named after Dax Riggs🥲🤟
Im from baton rouge la. I remember seeing acid bath flyers at my high school. One of the greatest metal bands ever for sure
I love Acid Bath. I remember seeing a tee shirt for them in high school that the stoner kids were wearing and that clown just intrigued the hell out of me so I asked one of them in art class and he turned me on to them
Gravestones look like skyscrapers from our here.....
man thank you making this, still my favorite metal band after all these years, ran a half marathon in march and placed acid bath in the last 30 minutes of my play list to send me into overdrive!
I'm so happy this video was made. I remember requesting for Acid Bath to get some love on here and it's awesome you listened to your watcher's and actually did it! That's very cool of you to do. Well done as always! Acid Bath was a phenomenal band 🤘🏼🤘🏼🖤🎸🔥❤️
What a nice surprise man thank you, couple suggestions-
1.taproot
2. Green jelly
3. Death angel
4. Sevendust
They let me sing Maynards part of three little pigs in Nashville, TN with green jello. It was fuckin awesome. Partied with all those guys and gals. Crazy time.
@@prepperandson1399 so is sevendust and taproot lmfao
And Ween
thanks i briefly talked bout taproot i think when i discussed layne staley almost singing on their record. Those other one's ill add to my to do list.
Very happy to see you do a story on them. I heard of Acid Bath after hearing Deadboy and the Elephantmen, a later Dax band. Dax Riggs is a great talent but he seems satisfied with doing things his way, small venues, only putting out music now and then and constantly changing up his band.
Louisiana native here. Thats all I’ve got to say. Still live here, in Breaux bridge lol. actually vacationing In Pensacola beach as I write this.
I was just introducing my kids to Acid Bath today, love them, and Goatwhore is my favorite metal band.
Discovered them in the late 90's when I was 21. I haven't stopped listening... pretty amazing how these two albums have endured this long. One of my all-time favorite bands. That said, the idea of an "Acid Bath" minus Audie (RIP) and Dax seems like... not Acid Bath. Lightning in a fucking bottle.
These dude's were definitely underrated. Doe's any one else get the vibes of acid bath when they listen to slipknots first two album's? R.I.P Audie
Thought I was the only one lol. I believe they were inspired by them. 2 of my favorite bands.
No lmao dont ever compare Acid Bath to slipknot
Thank you....
@@jamielozo697 what I'm saying is that acid bath most likely influenced slipknot I wasn't comparing
@@fargranhammerheart totally.
I mean, is it even cool to hate on Slipknot any more? They haven't been ... Metal hasn't been mainstream popular for a while now has it?
I dunno, I'm an old fart... but still... hating on Slipknot in 2020 feels about as outdated as doing the Limp Bizkit - Rollin' dance.
Kite String is still one of my favorite albums of all time. One of the most underrated bands ever to record.
Thanks for making this. They were one of my favorite bands in high school back in the 90s.
was looking for Diary Of A Dope Fiend by Marilyn Mason, and I stumbled upon Dope Fiend by Acid Bath and was hooked ever since!
I found a copy of 'when the kite string pops' on cd in a pawn shop back in the day. Still have it laying around somewhere.
I learned of this song only from a man I loved who lived in the USA. I always search every once in a while for them. I'm ecstatic thst they haven't been forgotten.
I grew up in Houston and got to see Acid Bath three times during 1995 and 1996. Houston was like a second home to Acid Bath and the band is as beloved in the Lone Start State as they are in Louisiana.
I saw these guys four times in Sioux Falls, SD. They had a rabid following there, so much so that the city itself got thanked in the credits to their second album. We were just prairie kids who were stunned by what we were hearing. It was incredible.
From 94 to 96 i was a dj in Brookings at SDSU. I will never forget a friend of mine asked me to go to a show with him in Sioux Falls to see these guys. I didnt go. He later told me he partied with them all night. Then Audie died and the chance to see them was no more. One of my biggest musical regrets. Ugh.
Worked with a roadie of them in mid 90, he wore dat kite string t shirt roily, offshore....
@@mitchellfrisch that was at the Lost Within house on Wayland... we opened up for them at the Pomp Room... best night of my life...
This video was quite interesting. Never heard of them, but will have to check them out
I was in a band from the Mississippi gulf coast. Back in 1993 to 2006. By the way we were called Feid.
And Acid Bath were huge influence on the metal scene here. If your not familiar with the New Orleans and Mississippi metal scene check out these bands . I think you'll appreciate it.

@@leethibidaux1641 I haven't heard the name Soilent Green in so long..I remember at Taylortown Tavern in Bossier City(NW LA),They were supposed to play a show with Seasons of Pain,and maybe ,Noise Merchants,BUT,I wanna say the one of the band members(the vocalist I think)either got hurt or sick..We took up a collection that night to help offset some expenses..
Spotify recommended me Acid Bath like a week ago and I'm obsessed with "Kite String" right now, such a great album
Thank you for making this.
Saw them in 93 and used to have their demo tape before they were signed...
Oh yeah, we have a popular saying around my home lol Dax Riggs could sing me to sleep anytime. It's actually an insomnia thing but still true
Walking stick is a great lullaby imo...
Thanks for the video! Still rocking to Acid Bath in 2020
thank you so much for covering acid bath.i was hooked from the first listen of acid bath in 2002.long live acid bath.
Why do you keep saying "terrorist"?
Its Paegan Terrorism Tactics
Thank you.
Yes, frikin right.
@```` Yeah, I was a bit tipsy that night and it just irked me. I understand where you're coming from, but this is suppost to be a documentary type of vid.
Also mispronounced Audi and Sammy's last names
@@onetrues3978 he's definitely a fan, he's just.... A little ignorant on some minor things. I thought this was as good as any of his other videos, didn't you?
Let’s start a thread for your favorite acid bath songs, my personal favorite is bleed me an ocean. Top 5 songs of all time
Venus blue. Dax vocs are insane
@@the_trespass_tourist7215 I agree venus blue is so good.
Fuck I can't pick just one. Jezabel or Bleed Me An Ocean, they're all fucking masterpieces
Diab Soule
JEZEBEL!!
My fav band of all time. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! I'm always craving to hear about them.
A girl I had such a crush on in highschool played Paegan Terrorism Tactics while we were on a road trip. Fell in love with the band right away. Many years later, I played the album the night my future husband and I got intimate for the first time.
I've bought 2 copies of when the kite string pops
I have the crop top of that album :-)
I don't have any of that stuff
Always were and will be one of my favorite metal bands. I am very thankful I got to see them live back in the day. Thanks for the video
Thank you for making this video.
