Hello. Dudley Taft here. Yeah, those guys did not ask me to be a part of the reunion show. I would love to rock some of the tunes off the first and second record! You can check out my current band OmniVoid here on YouTube or on myspace... ~~Rock On~~
Oh, another SGM fan! Yeah, I remember them with Chris Quinn on lead guitar. Saw them in Tacoma with Mother Love Bone in Jan. '90, and, sad to say as a major MLB fan, Shot Gun Mama totally KILLED that night!
Yeah, when they (SGM) did their 1 album back in '88, they were pretty basic and juvenile, but they evolved in a major way by the time I saw them with MLB. Adam was just incredible as a frontman! They also had a 3-song self-released demo cassette that year that I wish I still had.
really? i didn't know adam ever fronted SGM! makes since... i think i may have heard one of those songs once actually. didn't really sounds like the SGM from agression... guess that's why they changed their name to sweetwater, huh? the 2 bands are so different!
Yeah, those guys (Adam, Credo, Cole & Pablo) have been making music together, well, at least since AGGRESSION, and that was 1988! They definitely matured from AGGRESSION to the 3-song cassette from '90 w/ Chris Quinn on lead guitar, but, they rocked much harder once Quinn had been replaced by Dudley Taft a year later and they became Sweet Water. Inever cared too much for post-Taft Sweet Water though. Still can't stand SUPERFRIENDS.
i agree! once taft left, it really wasn't the same sweet water. pretty close, but something felt missing i guess. tho i thought suicide was better than superfriends! what did adam do in SGM? that wasn't him on lead vocals, was it?
Don't care for SUICIDE either.Not sure what role, if any, Adam had on AGGRESSION, but he was the frontman when I saw them live with MLB in '90.If you like Taf-era Sweet Water then, you probably would've liked SGM in 1990, which was the same band, just with a different name and different lead guitarist.
yes, i don't think adam was on aggression... i just saw your review on amazon for their atlantic release. i had that new rage album and it really did RAWK!!! did u ever get ahold of agression? i just saw that there is the album available on eBay. just search under music: SGM. so when u saw them live in '90 with adam singing, how did he do on songs like power and mrs. brown? i can't imagine his unique sweetwater style voice handling that original SGM harsh vocal style! just curious...
This was a truly great band to listen to. I missed out on them unfortunately but Tommy McMullin was always talking about them. Tommy eventually snagged the bass player some years later for a band that only lasted a few months. I would give anything to be able to ask these guys who the song 'King Of '79'was about. Some say it was Andy Wood but I think it might have been written about Brad Sinsel.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. I have been jonesen for sweet water for YEARS!!!!!!!

Check their website sweetwaterrocks dot com.I don't see him listed anywhere, so, I'm pretty sure it's just Credo, Paul, Adam and Cole.
