That saddens me. Had it not been for talking to strange people on the internet, I would have never found Acid Bath.

You've also go to take into consideration that he has a very distinct voice and though some deem it beautiful, others may not dig it. We are creatures of habit. Anything remotely different isn't accepted widely until some sort of "higher-ups" recognize them first.

However, I agree with you on Deadboy. Lyrics were amazing and Acid Bath will always echo in Riggs' voice, but that **** was so catchy! Some people just don't get it - at least Henry Rollins did.

EDIT: and goddamnit they are so much hotter than Meg and Jack.
