Suicidal Tendencies 1983 from my Instagram

Suicidal Tendencies mid 1983 is my guess, on the side of Amery Smith's dads house. We probably made this photo one day after practice in the garage there, same place they rehearsed for a month everyday before we went in and recorded the first album (that i produced) in just two days+one day to mix it. This was a great tight band at this moment in time. Shame the success of "Institutionalized" had the ramifications it did. (I left as the manager 11 weeks into the 14 week run the video had on MTV, and actually Amery and Jon Nelson were both gone even before that) ... All a great example of the cliché rock and roll swindle. But so it goes. Live and learn, we're all old now, water under the bridge. It was an amazing hot moment, barely passing as a punk novelty in the pop world, but it was ride some are still on to this day... That first album was a killer, i cant speak for anything that followed though. #suicidaltendencies #venice #dogtown #awol #muir #louiche #frontierrecords #rodneyontheroq #newmetal #institutionalized #isawyourmommy #possessed #ishotthedevil #memoriesoftomorrow #debut
