Quicksand Slip cover to cover AMAZING! ............LIVE even better. Praying that Capone, Cage, Schrieffels, and Vega can find a way to get back together and tour one last time. Check Rival Schools for Walters latest work.
Saw these guys open for Rage Against The Machine @ First Ave- Minneapolis in '94, best $10 I've ever spent. Too bad they fell apart. Walter's new gig Rival Schools is a bit of a change from Quicksand but rocks none the less!

When life gets bad for me, I have to remember that there was once a band called Quicksand and an album called Slip which could blast all pain away with the power of their Fender strats and Marshall amps.
@KristopheTheSaint Every time I saw Quicksand (5 times) Walter used both Fender and Gibsons back and forth, Tom Capone used a Jaguar almost exclusively except for one Warped tour show where I saw him rocking a PRS. Many of the lead tones on Slip and Manic Compression come from a Fender guitar through a Rat pedal, which, if set correctly can sound as thick as a Gibson thru a Marshall, but with a lot of the weird overtones and feedback you'd lose if you used hum-cancelling pickups.
Dear Vevo, Let me start by sayin get your fuckin corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their fucking videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we like in our videos.
This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you we"d go to your fuckin stupid ass website.
I remember seeing these guys opening for Helmet at the old 930 club in Washington Dc back in 93, the Slip album was being promoted. I still remember that show to this day. Thats how good the Slip album really is. Those songs railed live just took over that room!
@jasonpeng1 I may have been at that very same show. Helmet, Quicksand and the 3rd band was named Crawlpappy. However, my ticket stub says Wed Aug 19, 1992 (not '93) and that was back when the 930 was tiny and smelled like a party all the time. Great show for both Helmet and Quicksand.. I don't much remember Crawlpappy though.
@jasonpeng1 dude, reminds me when I saw these dudes on the first Warped tour,1995 in Nhamp, mass (headliner of course!!!) rocking the Smiths' How soon is now.....Fn rockD!!! N about 1.5 year earlier (maybe) opening for RAGE at UMASS, Amherst.....insane show!!!!!.....great band!
Back when I was a kid, I loved some Quicksand, both albums. I think they, along with bands like Helmet, Soundgarden and TOOL really had a groove to them that defined the evolution of hard rock in the 90's. I consider Quicksand a major influence on my industrial/metal band No More People. You can click my name to say our music video for "In The Dollar We Trust."
ha ha lol these guys are cool i want to be able to be in a post grunge band even though its out of fashion lol i dont give a shit. The only problem is i don't know how to write grunge songs like whats the whole point behind em ya know lol
@miser42 sorry was in bad mood that day Fukin teachers!!!!! I personally didnt like this song only because of the singer hes not my favorite. the rest was fine to me.
What I want to know is what deaf, dumb and blind asshole aligns "Godsmack" with Quicksand in the search results... ------>
About all they have in common is the instruments... although I'm sure their guitars and drums cry themselves to sleep every night at the thought of having to spew more disgusting garbage like godsmack's songs. I bet they have to replace guitars constantly... not from theft but from spontaneous combustion.

Just checket out this band now because Sergio Vega is replacing Chi cheng from deftones (I love deftones) and then I saw the singer from Rival Schools! Great! Sounds awesome :D
great band, miss the old days in Syracuse, NY , so many great bands came through. good times. shout out to all the old school hardcore kids from syracuse, you know who you are =)
I'm not a musician so I don"t know how to explain it correctly....but there is something about the timing or rhythm in this song that I really like.....it's extremely catchy.....very addictive song for me
I only saw the beginning of this video back when it came out b/c I was heading out. I wanted to hear the rest, b/c I knew the song kicked ass. Finally hearing all of it, 17 years later.
Saw these guys open for Rage Against the Machine in a cafeteria at UMASS in 1991. Unbelievable show....both bands were great and supporting their first albums. One of the best shows I have ever been too in a cafeteria no less.
quicksand are better than tool, without a doubt. they're the full package. pure art yet sounds effortless - very hard to attain, trust me. these guys are awesome!
chevelle didnt come out till the late 90's.i always thought they sounded like a fusion of tool and deftones.these guys have been around since 89 or 90.its an insult to compare anyone to chevelle,theyre alright but their pretty generic.
One of my all time bands. One I used to try and describe this band to people tool came up a lot for some reason even though they aren't the same at all really. i think it was due to the heavy bass line.
So under rated and a little before their time I guess, Wish they could have kept it together.
i looked these guys up cuz sergio vega is now the stand in bass player for deftones. glad i checked it out, this is purty fuckin sweet. 90's, please come back and rescue us!!!
Quicksand, Helmet and Failure were 3 of my favorite bands of that era, and seem to have been forgotten by a lot of people. I think they were very influential to many, and don't get the recognition they sometimes deserve.
Couldnt agree more on those 3 bands... add Far to the list. NOBODY knows who they were, and to the uninformed, there'd be no Deftones if Far and Quicksand didn't exist! As far as Tool goes.. go back and listen to Opiate and Undertow... if i hear any Tool in this it's Aenema era, which came out about 3 years later.. the first 2 albums sound NOTHING like this
@creep4677 I hear the similarities. In regards to "Omission", I think the bass has the same chord progression as "Stinkfist". It seems that anyone that plays in drop d, or just minor key tonality gets compared to tool or whatever. Whatever the case, I think quicksand is original and authentic and that has a lot to say about any musician and the best compliment I can give other fellow musicians.
the singer from this band started another band called Rival Schools, there debut album is a few years old but its a must have. watch the youtube video for the song "used for glue". you wont regret it!
@Drewha696, Both Tool & Quicksand came out around the same time. Tool has a more hard rock/prog rock/heavy metal thing going on. This band is just alternative metal/post-hardcore.
like Failure, they were just too good for the mainstream. they had THE sound before TOOL. if u were in the know in the mid 90's, these guys made TOOL seem late for the party. thanx for posting:)
I disagree and don't think they sound similiar at all. It's comparing a more classic metal/rock band heavily influenced by king crimson to a poppy heavy punk rock band greatly influenced by fugazi. Quicksands songwriting is usually straight forward with catchy clever timings. Tool is balls out almost all the time and very standard when its not. Sometimes I'm looking for a catchy song that gets my foot over a vulgar display of epic skill.
It's a vicious circle of Downloading because albums are sold too expensive and selling albums more expensive because people choose to download. To bad bands like this go unnoticed today when they're the bands who had the most to offer.
@Vlaxitov i agree that q-sand is different from tool. - If I may? - I hear musical qualities more relative to Chevelle & Helmet (not a huge departure from tool, I know). Lyrically, I'm actually reminded of Rise Against. Just an opinion - either way, one helluva underrated band! rock on.
You really must try listening to fugazi, then you will understand exactly what I'm talking about. Helmet is completely different than these guys and its almost offensive to compare either band with chevelle imho.
@Vlaxitov .....so, I MUST try listening to Fugazi??!! Gee Whiz, maybe after I do that - I can enlighten myself by checking out this combo I heard of that goes by the name of "Led Zepplin", a musical genius (like yourself) attempted to broaden my dim musical horizon by telling me all about them, and what a great person it would make me by associating with this band and their oh - so - unique sound. I would continue, but gotta run - gonna check out some more hot shyt from a group called U2.
@Vlaxitov I do think they have more similarities with Tool, the rythmic construction mostly, not as complex in terms of odd times but the ideas. Kind of like the early Chevelle, except they didn't have the creative genius of Walter. Still I love all three bands ^^
From a listener point of vew I'll agree. However, I think any similiarities you could point out are coincidental and not influential from one band to the other. In otherwords whatever similiiarities they might have with eachother doesen't discredet either bands origninality. Thats the point I was trying to make in my first comment. As for walter, I've not really enjoyed much that he has done since quicksands first two albums.
@Vlaxitov Well, in the case of Chevelle they openly accept the high place in which they hold Tool, and well, I do radio down here, couple of years ago interviewed Helmet's Page Hamilton and how persons like Tom Morello or Maynard came up to him at shows to talk about how Helmet and other contemporary post-hardcore bands like Quicksand or Jawbox have influenced them, I don't think it takes merit from them, their bands are as unique as can be and are legends themselves for what they did.
@Vlaxitov As for Walter, well he goes back to the mid 80's to being the brainchild behind New York City hardcore legends Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuit, then Quicksand and production (including the Gorilla Biscuits new band Civ), then Rival Schools and an acoustic project if I am not mistaken.
@Vlaxitov cept bands dont make any money off of selling a CD only the record company does.... (well they make royality so like .2 cents per cd sold or w/e it is) so a "download generation" is actually a good thing. why? cuz it allows more ppl access to the bands music and if they like it enuff they will see them in concert, which is where they make all the money. O_o
@Doubleabatteryaab You're making assumptions and have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to how royalties work in the music industry. Musicians are in no better of a money position per concert ticket than per CD sale. Again, if its not ultra commercial a record company can't bother producing it anymore. For bands like this that means no CD, no advertisement or exposure to the public, no concert. So yeah, keep telling people how the music industry flourishes when you steal. LOL
@Vlaxitov 1) its not stealing. the "rules" of the internet are different in each country. some places (like canada) doesnt allow you to upload anything that isnt 100% your content, while in the UK you allowed to upload anything.
as far as i know if its there to download, its legal.
2) my last comment was actually true. do some research k thx.
@Doubleabatteryaab No, your last statement is not true as I've done the research. For example, a 56 dollar concert ticket yields maybe 10 dollars to the artist/band everything said & done. So just under 18% of the revenue goes to the talent AND they have to work for that infinately more as in dedicate their lives for a duration of a tour rather than the time it takes to just record an album. That means CD sales pay an artist much more for their time than concerts do even today.
@Doubleabatteryaab Then you have mega stars like michael jackson who have in the past negotiated something along the lines of around 2.5 USD per CD sale in royalties and sell 40 million copies. Do the math. This is all beside my point that people who tout that they aren't technically stealing when they download someones music for sale w/o paying for it. They have devalued all new music to the tune that it puts alot of new perspective bands in the same position as this band was out of a job.
Quicksand 2 albums are some of the most incredible music I have ever hear.There are no bad songs and this is a band that never got enough recognition.Who sounds even close to their unique sound?

I can't really compare these guys to tool. The only thing they have in common is a lower levels of distortion on their guitars.
Tools music had more classic rock and metal influence while Quicksand was like a heavy polished Fugazi. I like quicksand alot more personally.
Seems the types of music I like the most peaked in the 90's before the download generation had their way.
Now music companies can't make money off of anything that isn't mega commercial. A dark age for music.

@Vlaxitov Well, but the sound is quite similar... Tool has more complex structures...

I disagree and don't think they sound similiar at all. It's comparing a more classic metal/rock band heavily influenced by king crimson to a poppy heavy punk rock band greatly influenced by fugazi. Quicksands songwriting is usually straight forward with catchy clever timings. Tool is balls out almost all the time and very standard when its not. Sometimes I'm looking for a catchy song that gets my foot over a vulgar display of epic skill.

It's a vicious circle of Downloading because albums are sold too expensive and selling albums more expensive because people choose to download. To bad bands like this go unnoticed today when they're the bands who had the most to offer.
Dark age indeed.

@Vlaxitov i agree that q-sand is different from tool. - If I may? - I hear musical qualities more relative to Chevelle & Helmet (not a huge departure from tool, I know). Lyrically, I'm actually reminded of Rise Against. Just an opinion - either way, one helluva underrated band! rock on.

You really must try listening to fugazi, then you will understand exactly what I'm talking about. Helmet is completely different than these guys and its almost offensive to compare either band with chevelle imho.

@Vlaxitov .....so, I MUST try listening to Fugazi??!! Gee Whiz, maybe after I do that - I can enlighten myself by checking out this combo I heard of that goes by the name of "Led Zepplin", a musical genius (like yourself) attempted to broaden my dim musical horizon by telling me all about them, and what a great person it would make me by associating with this band and their oh - so - unique sound. I would continue, but gotta run - gonna check out some more hot shyt from a group called U2.

@Vlaxitov I do think they have more similarities with Tool, the rythmic construction mostly, not as complex in terms of odd times but the ideas. Kind of like the early Chevelle, except they didn't have the creative genius of Walter. Still I love all three bands ^^

From a listener point of vew I'll agree. However, I think any similiarities you could point out are coincidental and not influential from one band to the other. In otherwords whatever similiiarities they might have with eachother doesen't discredet either bands origninality. Thats the point I was trying to make in my first comment. As for walter, I've not really enjoyed much that he has done since quicksands first two albums.

@Vlaxitov Well, in the case of Chevelle they openly accept the high place in which they hold Tool, and well, I do radio down here, couple of years ago interviewed Helmet's Page Hamilton and how persons like Tom Morello or Maynard came up to him at shows to talk about how Helmet and other contemporary post-hardcore bands like Quicksand or Jawbox have influenced them, I don't think it takes merit from them, their bands are as unique as can be and are legends themselves for what they did.

@Vlaxitov As for Walter, well he goes back to the mid 80's to being the brainchild behind New York City hardcore legends Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuit, then Quicksand and production (including the Gorilla Biscuits new band Civ), then Rival Schools and an acoustic project if I am not mistaken.

@Vlaxitov cept bands dont make any money off of selling a CD only the record company does.... (well they make royality so like .2 cents per cd sold or w/e it is) so a "download generation" is actually a good thing. why? cuz it allows more ppl access to the bands music and if they like it enuff they will see them in concert, which is where they make all the money. O_o

@Doubleabatteryaab You're making assumptions and have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to how royalties work in the music industry. Musicians are in no better of a money position per concert ticket than per CD sale. Again, if its not ultra commercial a record company can't bother producing it anymore. For bands like this that means no CD, no advertisement or exposure to the public, no concert. So yeah, keep telling people how the music industry flourishes when you steal. LOL

@Vlaxitov 1) its not stealing. the "rules" of the internet are different in each country. some places (like canada) doesnt allow you to upload anything that isnt 100% your content, while in the UK you allowed to upload anything.
as far as i know if its there to download, its legal.
2) my last comment was actually true. do some research k thx.
Doubleabatteryaab 1 year ago
@Doubleabatteryaab No, your last statement is not true as I've done the research. For example, a 56 dollar concert ticket yields maybe 10 dollars to the artist/band everything said & done. So just under 18% of the revenue goes to the talent AND they have to work for that infinately more as in dedicate their lives for a duration of a tour rather than the time it takes to just record an album. That means CD sales pay an artist much more for their time than concerts do even today.
Vlaxitov 1 year ago
@Doubleabatteryaab Then you have mega stars like michael jackson who have in the past negotiated something along the lines of around 2.5 USD per CD sale in royalties and sell 40 million copies. Do the math. This is all beside my point that people who tout that they aren't technically stealing when they download someones music for sale w/o paying for it. They have devalued all new music to the tune that it puts alot of new perspective bands in the same position as this band was out of a job.

Quicksand 2 albums are some of the most incredible music I have ever hear.There are no bad songs and this is a band that never got enough recognition.Who sounds even close to their unique sound?
