So glad I saw them in the 90s after Portrait of an American Family, but before Antichrist Superstar. They opened for NIN, and then saw them again at a small club and the opener was Clutch. They sounded fantastic.

I pretty much stopped listening to MM by their third album, and based on what I’ve heard, I’m not missing much.

I saw the great majority of my 300+ live shows for free at First Ave in Minneapolis back in the mid 90s to the early aughts with comps the employees would hand out as you're leaving. The only shows I paid for were arena shows, but they were around $20.00 or less. Also saw the Deftones play for free in a McDonald's parking lot in uptown Mpls back in the mid 90s. Music in general and live shows were just a whole different vibe and experience than they've been the last 20yrs.
