Dax Riggs - "Let Me Be Your Cigarette" - HearYaLive Session 8/20/10

[MidwestMindsetENT]

all of these fucking hippys just remake some other hippys songs....i want originals. Rap > Rock

Rock = vague pussy poetry. Rap = Raw to the point...in your face. Rage on you fucking insignificants.

[danklock3]

@MarcusLPope323, I got ten million dollars (wishful thinking) but I'll make that bet regardless. :)

[MarcusLPope323]

I would put money on The Eagles of Death Metal being an influence...listen to I Only Want You, awesome band also!!!

[gottheblues67]

Cool sound. Just like The Stooges riff (I Wana Be Your Dog)

[snowbloodqueen]

@gottheblues67 I know! I thought I was the only one that noticed. Reminds me of another song but I can't recall which.

[suffersystemdegrees]

@snowbloodqueen Iggy Pop - I Wanna Be Your Dog

[snowbloodqueen]

@suffersystemdegrees Yeah it does remind me of the Stooges I wanna be your dog but there is another song it reminds me of which I can't recall at the moment.

[courtneykrystn]

sort of baffled by the dramatic change in Dax...I just remember this sweaty shirtless man screaming about morphine fronting a grungy heavy metal band, to the new improved...LOL. Its thrilling he is continuing and trying new angles though. Genius how he got Acid Bath followers listening to folk now. ;) What an AMAZING artist, and my personal fav vocalist of all FUCKIN TIME! \m/

[sainiuil88]

@AstralPossibilities AGREED, I tried to tell him how amazing his music is and how much it's meant to me, and he just nodded :-\ I sounded like a typical idiot fangirl, dammit. But I kinda am for this man, he's my fucking hero. I've listened to him since I was 14, I basically grew up on his music. That voice, dude...there really are no words.

[ljoiner22]

who ever pressed diss like must have hit that on the way to the like button

[agnessmash]

Dax told me happy birthday last night *sigh*

[TaBAScoBel]

@agnessmash

Wow. So. Fucking. Jealous.

[SmashAttackOnline]

This performance just flat out puts the album version to shame...Dax needs to start just putting out live albums of new material. heh

[hearya17]

@SmashAttackOnline I would gladly welcome Dax and co. back into my studio to do a live in-studio album. Would be a lot of fun

[AstralStigma1]

@hearya17

Did you get a chance to hang out with Dax much? I hear he's a cool guy to hang out with.

[hearya17]

@AstralStigma1 No, only once during this session in 2010. He and his band were certainly laid back and cool guys to chat with though. Was hoping to catch his recent set in Chicago but I got tied up with work and couldn't make it. 

[aufheben5]

Wowza!

[spiderbaby68]

<3



[nebulamas]

awesomeness !

[rlt34]

i love this version way more than the studio one

[jancar2012]

What's the guitarist's name?

[dressedupinsmoke]

@jancar2012 Julian Primeaux. 

[rlt34]

outstanding. its not Acid Bath but still fucking awesome

[eveonastick]

i...



[eveonastick]

i...



[dosemeter]

I want Dax to write a song like this, then invite Patton to guest.....or Cornell....

Whatever. There's only 2-3 guys that could hang vocally....I think I just mentioned them.

[sweetzombielover]

Outstanding!

[preachermeat]

it kinda makes me a bit sad that dax is surrounding himself with hipster musicians...but maybe they're just session players?

[hearya17]

@preachermeat Don't be sad, his band rips it. Why call them hipsters..is this based on their appearance? That seems a little judgmental and naive They are MUSICIANS ... the only thing that counts! I love his band. Maybe you know something I don't, but Dax's songs and vocal performance skills combined with THIS band lineup is LETHAL. A great combination in my opinion.

[microwire]

@hearya17 they are hipsters, the old band from we sing of only blood or love were better performers.. Andy the drummer, annoying when he opened his mouth but an amazing musician. I saw a few acoustic sets with him and dax and that was the best show other than when I first heard them at ACL back in the day.

[SmashAttackOnline]

@microwire Why do you hate facial hair? Are you an albino homosexual?

[buefordwilson]

@hearya17 I saw them live in Grand Rapids and the band SLAYED it. On top of that, they were really nice dudes and I got to talk about guitar gear with the guitarist. Nothing wrong as far as I can see.

[hearya17]

@buefordwilson Agreed, great dudes. Down to earth.

[Sicundercover]

@preachermeat Dont forget hes basing out of Austin now and thats just how that city is.

[Burnyoursins]

@preachermeat They aren't hipster's dude, haha. They're decent players, or else they probably wouldn't be playing with him. Actually, the drummer is pretty rad.

[knotts85]

i was lucky and seen him may 3rd in kent ohio he can put on a show ...rocks ur fuckin socks

[deadboy0420]

@knotts85 i live in ohio and i didnt even know dax was out and about..damn..i gotta start keepin tabbs or something..he plays up in cleveland everyonce in a while..i dont like cleveland..or toledo..i had a chance to see him in columbus at a campus coffee shop and i paid a buddy to drive and we got too high and couldnt find the coffee shop..gettin lost in colubus isnt fun..

[Kurzgan]

Oh god this version FUCKING ROCKS!!!~!~! I NEED IT!!

[jgray2287]

oh my my, Saw them at one eyed jacks...my friend asked to have a drag of my cigarette and i replied "You don't smoke silly!!" in between songs... then he played this. I smiled. best night ever,

[dylan4844]

I have been listening to this guy up in the flatlands of Canada since Acid Bath came out in the 90's. There has not been a day gone buy where his voice wasn't heard from inside my house or outside for that matter. It's amayzing how many people have not heard of him.

[BlackSabbathory]

@dylan4844 thumbs up.

[AstralPossibilities]

I'm outta loss for words. Whenever I truly and honestly try to express how amazing Dax's music is... I realize words cannot describe. ^.^

[rubyyay15]

Amazing song, Amazing man.

[venusblu3]

I dig it!!

[PoHakk]

Marys virgin mouth spoke only sorrow to me as we watched the sun fall into the sea

[brandonwinmill]

dax will keep them away, he always has. I don't think corporate gets him anyways. Too bad, if i owned a fancy record company this would be my signature artist. The world should hear his voice.

[MikeD777]

amazing.....corporate tentacles stay away....!

[bigandsmirl]

This rocks so hard I just smashed everything in my room. Does insurance cover Rock Outbursts? I'll have to call my agent. Oh well.

[dbecks51]

@bigandsmirl

like a good neighbor state farm is there........

[graveflower138]

@bigandsmirl Like a good neighor state farm is there............... with a new room and all the shit tore up....

[magenlabelle]

[FalseParadigm]

@bigandsmirl

Your Agent...of Oblivion?

[BlueMiaLuxx]

@bigandsmirl "like a good neighbor Statefarm is there"

[Galasholet]

[TheParanoidSchizo]
