They were indeed great.
Ha! I so forgot that Jon Stewart used to be on MTV.
Then again, I can barely remember when MTV actually played music videos.
Thanks for the flashback. I went to see Quicksand open up for Rage Against the Machine in support of Slip in Austin, Texas at the old Liberty Lunch. Completely blew away RATM. That album still gets one or two spins a year from me.
Here’s a funny Quicksand story…
Went to see Anthrax/White Zombie play at the Warfield in S.F. around….’94?
White Zombie had dropped off the tour, due to problems with their drummer.
Who should happen to be opening?
Quicksand.
I’d only heard the song and seen the video for ‘Fazer’, otherwise was not familiar with them.
Amazing show, amazing set by Quicksand.
Yet another criminally overlooked band that should’ve been HUGE.
I’m still a fan to this day!!!
If you want to find other cool stuff on them, there’s a great site called unitedbywalter.com which is dedicated to the current activities of singer/guitarist/former Gorilla Buscuits guy, Walter Schriefels. You can find valuable Quicksand-related stuff being posted periodically.
Oh man, back when there was music on television (what a concept!). I heard that Slayer once played Jon Stewart’s old show too. Oh well. Never heard of Quicksand, but not bad. Maybe next week we’ll see Megadeth on Arsenio Hall!
Sounds like a guitar solo I’d come up with.
When I was a wee little one I had a subscription to a terrible monthly mail-order music video collection. On one of those VHS cassettes was a video for a band called Quicksand off the record “Slip.” The song was called “Fazer,” and I instantly became obsessed with it. Didn’t the singer also start Gorilla Biscuits?
this was a great bill: deftones, pitchshifter, quicksand, molotov in maine back in the 90s. awesome show. quicksand is a huge influence on my writing style, musically AND lyrically. it’s too bad that rival schools wasn’t that good of a band.
[...] any case, we all know how Vince feels about Quicksand, and I am again offering the band up as an example of hard rock that simply ain’t half bad, [...]
