credit where credit is due, they did have a lot of influence through their attitude and playing, but grunge and emo would still exist. it was a collective effort of the 80s scene to bring what we go in the 90s

One of the best cell phone video edits I've ever seen or heard. Huge thanks ! Oh, and Josh Freese is a monster player and imo he took the songs to a new level. I mean NIN, Devo and The Replacements among others is an awesome pedigree to have. Just an incredible performance, 100%.
