Rick Froberg & John Reis are both criminally underrated. Love damn near all of their work. edit: back here after hearing Rick passed. absolutely shattered my heart man, rest easy legend.
From Pitchfork to Obits, everything Rick Froberg has ever done just oozes greatness. I searched in vain for years trying to find a band that helped fill the void in my soul left by the demise of Black Flag. Just when I was about to give up I discovered Hot Snakes, Pitchfork and Drive like Jehu.
I JUST discovered these bands after a Spotify recommendation after listening to At the Drive In and fell in love instantly. Then learned about the passing of Rick and was like.....Fuck!!
I'm 69 years old and I've never done a skate boarding trick, but if I do ever do a skate boarding trick, I hope I do it to these hot rockers and their cool sounds, and then sit down and drink a Diet Shasta.
I picked up their latest album "Jericho Sirens" on vinyl after a friend/fellow collector in the Vinyl Community here on You Tube suggested that I would dig it. He was right. The album is a gem from start to finish. I spun the album for two weeks straight. I am looking forward to the next one~ Rob/Boston
I highly recommend Ari Farka Toure to anyone. I didn't know about him till this video, and the moment I put a song on of his, I got goosebumps. Such raw emotion in the music. Truly amazing.
So wild to see him mentioned here. I found him on Radiooooo! It’s an online collection of music from any country and any decade. I picked Mali and 1990s by mere chance and found Ali Farka Toure. I dig it.
Also worth mentioning that minus Rick the rest of the band put out a couple records as the Night Marchers that rip too. Love Hot Snakes and Reis' plethora of bands.
I've listened to "on the mouth" 10k times and never realized that. Very cool, makes sense. Also never realized how similar Rick's vox sound to Batallion of Saints.
Really glad I got to see these guys live in Orlando about a year ago, they are fuckin great live and I couldn’t hear shit for a few hours after the show
I never heard of Hot Snakes so when I saw the thumbnail and just judged them on there looks I thought there were going to have terrible taste in music damn was I wrong.
Rick Froberg was such an amazing singer and artist RIP
Oh what?! I only found out he died from your comment here. Devastating. Only 55. I'm a massive Hot Snakes fan, fucking immense live. So sad.

Rest easy Rick. Thank you for the music and see you on the other side brother.
Great choices in music! Rip Rick 🙏🏽🤘🏽🎸
Rest peacefully, Rick Froberg 💙
Hot snakes, drive like jehu, and rocket from the crypt!!! All so good!
...don't forget Pitchfork!!!
OFF! 😁
Night Marchers too.

Check out Quicksand, early Unwound, and Venus Beads

RIP Rick; one of the best ever
These guys played at the bar I work at a couple months ago - nicest dudes, and the quintessential American rock band. Hope they go down in history!
They've been in the history books, for those who were there, and those that do their homework, just like these guys.
downstroke warlords. rip rick
these guys are legendary
Dang I always considered them to be the best band out of San Diego
I'm 69 years old and I've never done a skate boarding trick, but if I do ever do a skate boarding trick, I hope I do it to these hot rockers and their cool sounds, and then sit down and drink a Diet Shasta.
I would sit and drink a Diet Shasta with you anytime, old timer.
Dude bought a battalion of saints record. That is enough to make me respect these guys
Goddamn, RIP Rick Froberg.
Reis and Froberg are legends
John is one of the most genuinely nice guys in the world. No pretentious genes in his body.
Living legends!

Rob/Boston
One of the best bands especially live. They throttle hard.
OH GAWD. Love hot snakes and drive like jehu
Legends
That Taj Mahal Travellers record is a complete mind-blower.
RIP Rick!

Man, I want every frkn thing they pulled out their bags. Great band with great taste.
These guys rock so hard, but then the guitarist said. Wait I need my glasses. Man so glad I discovered these guys

John Reis is my guitar hero.
Mine too!
Rest in peace Rick Froberg
Severely under-appreciated band
My all-time fave album was produced by John Reis - On The Mouth by Superchunk.
Precision Auto sounds like proto-Hot Snakes
@@Bubblun1 totally
Dbomb Danny really?
I´ve got it, on cd!!!! I bought it like 20 years ago. I´m and old fart.
I've listened to "on the mouth" 10k times and never realized that. Very cool, makes sense. Also never realized how similar Rick's vox sound to Batallion of Saints.
R.I.P., Rick.
These were such great picks!!
SO GOOD! I got into Hot Snakes through RFTC, big love for Speedo! Batallion of Saints are one of my fave hardcore bands :)
Swami Speedo Jon Reis!!!
Kids,
these dads can rock harder than your skateboard trucks.
Thanks for listening to Gamelan, Respect Sir 👏🏻
Rest in peace, Rick 😥
Saw these guys in Santa Cruz and the next day we went into covid lockdown. They killed that night! Can't wait to see them again. Come play Asheville!
Seen these guys play live in Cambridge twice. They were awesome.
Rip Froberg, another 100% real one gone way too early
Really glad I got to see these guys live in Orlando about a year ago, they are fuckin great live and I couldn’t hear shit for a few hours after the show
Rick was my next door neighbour in Brooklyn. Mr Mellow until he was on stage. Then, look out!
Whoa this one was quite great. Thanks kindly. Last 2 songs are truly toe tappers
estos videos tienen que durar por lo menos el doble!!!! viva Hot Snakes!!!!
Hot Snakes rules.
If OFF! still a thing? Love that stuff too.
my favorite band name.
Some Bert and Ali... Nice.
Speedo from Rocket from the Crypt! They were awesome.
Of course the drummer picks a gamelan record. awesome picks all around. explains why their music's so good.
Rest in Peace, Rick 💔
can't go wrong with these dudes ,nice picks
Rick picking battalion of saints great stuff
John looks like Jello Biafra a bit. Bert Jansch- yes!!
WHERE'S GAR
He forgot his insulin
he's in an airlock! he's in an iron lung! he's on a gurney! he was warned! he's in a drawer! he's in a bag! he's on a lazy susan! he's on the slab!
Shout out to my mans for dropping the gamelan music. When shows happen again I’m gonna hope you play Detroit, buy you a beer and talk those tunes
Oh, looks like I gotta talk to Rick about Bert Jansch too.
RIP Rick
I'm gonna cry if I watch this. I'll have to check it out later. There are some VERY upsetting videos floating around on UA-cam since Rick's passing. 😢
I love you guys but I miss Gar heeps! Nice vinyl picks tho!
RIP Rick Froberg 😥
I saw these guys and they ripped it up however the headliner band was METZ and they absolutely blasted...kinda made Hot Snakes sound tame imho.
Just cause you're louder doesn't mean you're better. Hot Snakes are about 10x better than Metz.
I love both a lot. Even though I got more history seeing all the Speedo/Froberg projects through the 90s.
Any chance for another RFTC record?
these guys rule
Fuck i miss these guys
its always old obscure stuff from the 20th century with these gen exers
You had to work for good taste back then
When the Indonesian music started I thought it was someone's phone going off and that was their ringtone
I never heard of Hot Snakes so when I saw the thumbnail and just judged them on there looks I thought there were going to have terrible taste in music damn was I wrong.
Amazing band!
main guy is the guitarist in drive like jehu
You should check them out!
Suicide Invoice is one of the best rock records to come out of the 2000s
What about their looks made you think they had terrible taste?
@@axes3562 other guitar was in drive like jehu too, I think
Was this pre filmed?
Yes, this was filmed in early March before Amoeba Hollywood was closed due to COVID-19.
I woulda thot his hands would be in his bag amirite #yeahthatsright #automidnight
FINNALY
💖😍😍😍💖
Hot snakes is another name for doo doo
anyone can recommend me great gospel records?
rad
Fuck yes!!
👍🐾
TIL that Jason was born the day after I was.

the gimbling started to leak
Oh Rick. What a shame
Love Ya Swami. You need to use more harmonica.on your recordings...lol
rip rick
Peter Serafinowicz has really let himself go! But I'm glad to see he's in a cool band these days!
That guy with the pig tails looks like Bob Hoskins' son or something
Lizzie Dripping.
Ces jeunes gens ont des goûts très surs !
How’s he doing?
Hot Snakes, as in a big fiery dump?
HOT DADS
Hot Snakes or Baby Rats.
I would like to see Pearl jam on the show
Somebody please get Perry Farrell on here.
Hot Snakes music hurts my ears.

Trolls tend not to know anything.
