I saw them on the Colbert Report and had to laugh a little. They just look a little too old to be doing that stuff and it makes them look silly IMO

I couldn't agree more. Between the bassist doing his stupid usual schtick and all the other cliche moves they pulled, I was cringing as I watched it.

The first time I saw 'em was at UNO in '88 and the last time was at the Cajun Dome in '97 with C.O.C., and those and the other four or so times in between that were kick arse. That said, you couldn't pay me to sit through one of their shows now.

Probably the coolest single experience I ever had at a concert was when they played the Assembly center in May of '92 on the last day of finals. Jason came over to the side of the stage where I was blowing a fat J on the rail and asked if he could hit it. He took it from me and burned it down while he played before giving me the roach back.
