    Any fans on here?

    Whoa, tough crowd! OK, so they were dismissed as a 'novelty' band with the name and image but their material is So Damn Cool (sorry). Still regularly blast out 'America's Least Wanted' and 'Menace To Sobriety'.

    Plus, an EP on the way and an appearance at Download :D

    Your not alone! I still love both of those albums, especially Menace To Sobriety, it has some amazing riffs on it!! Brings me back to a nostalgic place in time also. Would love to see them play over here, would be there in a heartbeat. :D

    When I was doing my leaving and used to come home from school for lunch, this song was on MTV every lunch time between 1-1:30 for months on end.

    great band - brings me back to my beavis (or was i butthead?) days, 'Neighbor' was personally my favourite song-

    I remember them supporting Bon Jovi in the 90's in the RDS and setting up a water slide on stage and Whitfield Crane milling the other band members out of it a few times as he was skidding up and down on it - would love to see them again

    Savage band alright. I haven't listen to them in years, though. Time to get reacquainted with their stuff via youtube.

    What's Crane up to now? Last time I seen him was with Probot?

    Are you the guys that HATE everything?:D

    Met them (well 3 of them) in Fibbers the night before the Bon Jovi show in 1995. got backstage passes and some signed promo's for Milkmans son and Tomorrow World from them . Great lads, would love to see them back over here in a small venue. They'd have a similar sized following as say Mr.Big so a Button Factory show would be perfect.

    I would consider myself a fan. I haven't listened through all of their stuff. But I liked most of their greatest hits album. And I would definitely see them if they came over for a gig. But I can't see that happening :(

    Yes, I was a fan. Have all their albums and loads of their singles. I kinda lost interest in them as quickly as I liked them. I haven't put any of their stuff on my ipod. Maybe I'll stick a CD on again and see how I feel after all these years.

    I'm pretty sure I seen them in Dublin in 96ish as support for Bon Jovi.

    My first album was Americas Least Wanted! I was 13! Don't think i'd listen to it now days but i loved it at the time.
