It's Swafford. The 2 brothers had a band the Feedbags. Fun band. Tempe had a pretty damn cool music scene at the time. Lots' of live venues. I managed a several bands at the time. The Blossoms were good guys.
everyone check your damn facts before putting them on youtube and acting like you know what your talking about. I grew up with these guys, friends. Great talent no matter how many drinks or how many drugs! Will never forget these guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part of that GREAT 90's music scene. Thank you GB for the memories.........love you guys!
Wow. I love the internet because it gives morons like you the chance not only to speculate but to also make names and shit up as well. I'm embarrassed that there are "fans" like you! Get fucking facts straight before you write anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha. yeah i live in tempe and mrs ritas place is right down the street from my house. i started trippin balls when i made the connection between her and the gin blossoms song.
original drummer phillip(guido) was the bomb. but he too has demons that have kept him out of the band. we need phil back in the band, JUST LIKE DOUG. BUT DOUG IS NO LONGER W/US AND GUIDO IS!!!!!!!!!!
DOug hopkins was the original GUITARIST - not drummer - and he killed himself shortly after the album came out - he wrote MOST of new miserable experience- great writer - had many demons though..that's why they fired him...
Actually Jesse has as many song credits as Doug about 6 each I believe and Robin had 3. Doug: Lost Horizons, Hey Jealousy, Hold Me Down, Found Out About You, Pieces of the Night, Cheatin. Jesse: Mrs Rita, Until I Fall Away, Cajun Song, Hands Are Tied, 29, Cheatin. Robin: Until I Fall Away, Hold Me Down, Allison Road. Great album and great band.
I was wrong doug hopkins was the original lead guitarist but he was fired from the gin blossoms before there first album and two songs he wrote hey jealousy and found out about you became hits after he was fired and that drove him to kill himself so to answer your question he was not in this video joe23742
I love the lead singer's voice

Mrs. Rita is still working as a palm and tarot card reader here in Tempe. I pass her place all the time to visit Zia Records and Eastside Records.
