Trying to explain to a friend why he shouldn't hate them, so I'm listening again to their songs for recommendations. In short, they were very, very good.

Perfect response.

Related rant: Can we put a moratorium on ever referring to them as "The 'Mats"? What a stupid nickname.

But it WAS what people called them back in the day.

RAVE: I saw them at Trito's Uptown before Bob got kicked out of the band.

...and then died of drug-related organ failure. Doh. His brother Tommy became the bass player for Guns n' Roses. The crappy Axl-only version, sadly.

He wasn't dead of drug related organ failure the night I saw The Mats kick ass at Trito's Uptown. He was wearing a skirt. Tommy looked like he was 15. Maybe he was.
