I HATE IT WHEN I’M RIGHT: SNOT GET BACK TOGETHER
Monday, July 14th, 2008 at 2:42pm by Axl Rosenberg
Back in April, I bemoaned the inevitably of a Snot reunion, and a whole bunch of you came to the group’s defense. So while I weep, you can all rejoice: guitarists Mikey Doling and Sonny Mayo (who is in need of some cash after getting his Sevendust pink slip), drummer Jamie Miller and bassist John “Tumor” Fahnestock (worst nickname this side of “Shit Stain”) are reuniting under the Snot moniker for two shows later this year, presumably with more to follow. I’d tell you about those two announced shows, but I don’t want you to go. I’m petty like that.
Here’s where things get weird: original Snot vocalist Lynn Strait is dead, which means, of course, that he’s not avail for the reunion… and so the band have replaced him with former Divine Heresy front man Tommy Cummings/Vext/whatever.
Tommy’s voice strikes me as being considerably different from Strait’s (to put it mildly), but maybe he has way more vocal range than his work with DH allowed him to show. And since word on the street is that Dino Cazares withheld quite a lot of moolah from Tommy following the split, I’m not surprised the dude would jump at the chance to front this outfit.
I guess we’ll see if anything interesting actually comes of this.

Well.
Now if only Sugar Ray and Crazy Town would get back together…
Ooh, a SUPERTOUR!
I dunno, they can’t all headline. A tour like that would be a logistical nightmare…
I knew three things about Snot before reading this article:
1. They wrote “My Balls.”
2. The singer died in a car accident.
3. So did his dog.
now they can go on tour with inxs, blind melon and drowning pool!
When I saw this earlier this morning I thought it was just a bad idea. Tommy Vexx just doesn’t seem like he would fit the band. That is if the band plays the same way they did on Get Some. I liked get some but I won’t be rushing out to any snot shows or buy a new album as soon as it comes out.
did you guys see this new blurb on blabbermouth that has Sonny Mayo bitching about how he got kicked out of Sevendust? the part that amused me is the last sentence in this quote:
“I was confused and surprised by the way that they did and when they did it — one week before the new album came out that I wrote and recorded with them. One week — seven days — before the new record that Sonny Mayo wrote and recorded with SEVENDUST, and they call me up and they fire me.”
ha, who does he think he is, the Rock? :-D
When you’re right you’re right, and you’re right.
Anyone who likes this band sucks.
Tommy Vext? I’m sure they have their reasons, but I’m left to wonder if Burton C. Bell was too busy.
Tommy Vext? Snot? Is this a joke?
And Carlos, please go crawl back to Blabbermouth.net.
In all honesty the band snot, when they first came out were a solid outfit…strait’s vocals were harsh but not like these asses today who try to sound like bears in heat… fat grooves ahead of the limp bizkit bullshit…but now mikey doling seems to be the one on this snot revival since none of his other projects come near his snot glory days…but really…do any of us relive those glory days without some calamity at the end, or to begin with. bad idea.
Blatbbermouth sucks.
Their self-titled debut is one of my favorite records of all time. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Snot live again but Tommy Vext just doesn’t fit the mold.
To bad you guys aren’t writing about news that isn’t favoring Tommy

What the fuck is this about?
Interesting blog…Tommy may not be a loose cannon…I believe dino is a complete controlling asshole and Tommy got tired of him and whooped him up….And in the scuffle dinos ol lady got tangled up in the fury…it happends… Tommy should have just finished the set no questions asked! Its his fucking job!!! But then again dinos personality/presence/ADDITUDE is enough to make a dude snap…did he see how swollen he is that pic….oh wait hes just fuckin fat.
The writer of this blog is an idiot.
well i’m embarrassed i’m even writing on one of these gossip sites… but i have to respond to what i’m reading. it’s funny how all these people with no life have all this time to share their opinion about people who are actually doing something with their lives and pursuing their dreams and art…stop masturbating and being a jerk and do something with yourself you freegin nerds!
[...] get back together, hiring Tommy Vext to fill the shoes of the late Lynn Strait. No word about who will fill the shoes of Lynn Strait’s dog. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: [...]
nice job miles
Jesus christ i don’t think i’ve ever seen a bigger group of idiots when it comes to talking about bands and people you don’t know anything about. Never even met them. I was in studio with snot last nite and the new track is going to kick you queers in the mouth. Tommy is fitting in perfect. No one wants someone to try and replace lynn. Lynn is non-replaceable. this is something new. Part of the reason for a reunion is because there are thousands of fans who never got to see snot live and though without lynn, they will now have an opportunity. If you ever got your fat blogging asses away from your computers and red bulls, and actually went out and met some people in person you would feel different. but its real easy to talk shit from the safety of your crusted chair. Wipe the cheetos from your chin and go outside you fuckin toads. 4 guys that spit out great songs when together, there is no reason they should throw all that away because one of them is gone. Geez they gave 10 years to the memory of lynn and its still going strong. There is too much great music to come from snot to just throw it all out. You dicks like to sit around and talk about these people like you are in their heads and know what their thinking. The fag who started this blog is most likely a linkin park fan……
one of my moms friends is good friends is Lynns sisters and i actually went to the first show with Tommy singing. i met him and the rest of the band. he shares an erie resemblance to Lynn and he fits in with the band very well and also sounds a lot like Lynn. He stated that he is not trying to fill Lynns shoes but to only honor him and i think he did an amazing job! so congrats to Snot! and i cant wait to see them again in october!
<33
