Roddy Bottum plays live with Dinosaur Jr

The Bowery Ballroom last night played host to a sight likely to quicken the heart, moisten the eye and flannel the shirt of any 1990s alternative music fan, as Faith No More’s Roddy Bottum joined Dinosaur Jr on stage as they played the last of their seven 30th Anniversary shows.

Roddy was one of a stellar cast of indie luminaries who joined the band. The FNM keyboardist showed his multi-instrumentalist chops by playing guitar for Start Choppin’ along with Imperial Teen band-mate Lynn Truell. Evan Dando, Kevin Shields and Kurt Vile were among the others who joined the band on stage for collaborations.

I got to play guitar with Dinosaur Jr tonight. I was invited. by J. a shining highlight in my life.

I'm wondering if it will be in a store near me or if it will only be available online, in which case it will arrive after I'm gone. I wonder if it will be in any stores in Sydney? } – Apr 15, 8:25 PM

- Benrun { So months ago, Roddy, Bill, and Puffy teased a photo of themselves together in San Fran, I think outside their studio. That's a big deal b/c Roddy lives in NYC. But silence since...I hope there is more to that story. I don't know what this band has against releasing a live EP every once in a while. It is insane that this band has only 1 half-assed live release. If anything they should at least correct that...release the actual whole Brixton 90 show. Everyone I know who loves FNM loves them because of their live show...not their albums. But memories... } – Mar 21, 12:05 AM
- Benrun { Absolutely...me dream covers from the ReUnited tour would be....Reunited, Switch, Adje Jano, Que he Sacado, and Kiss & Say Goodbye. Or do a Cardiacs cover as a benefit/tribute! Or, just get over themselves about not liking live albums and release some official live stuff. Take our money or I'll scream!! } – Mar 01, 2:53 AM

Thank you to Chuck's family for letting him hit the road the last few years to live his musical life and letting his fans see him again. Thank you to Doug and his family for be the driving force behind all the output from Chuck this last... } – Nov 24, 5:09 AM

- Benrun { My favorites right now are Why Do You Bother, Anne's Song, The Real Thing, Midlife Crisis, Just A Man, Stripsearch, and Rise Of The Fall. I tried listing them out but it wouldn't post for some reason. I've tried writing a response about 8 times. I'm mostly just listening to Chuck these days, his newest songs are some of his best. } – Dec 20, 3:25 AM
- Benrun { Just wrote a response longer than a few sentences, and I get "Invalid security token" on a white field for some reason. Anyway, I'll try again later! Sorry! } – Dec 20, 2:33 AM

On INTERVIEW: Bill Gould speaks to Balkan Rock (12)
- Benrun { Love that idea! If they were given a few songs to choose from, that would be cool. That would be the thing I would suggest to the band if I had their ear....hint hint! I have no idea what song I would pick. I would just love for them to record the covers they've already done....Time Forward, Reunited, Kiss & Say Goodbye, Adje Jano, Switch, Strawberry Letter 22, Que He Sacado, and a proper release of This Guy's In Love. But Roddy has said that they don't get very interested in getting together to record covers, those are more for... } – May 18, 2:16 AM
- KingCol { Last comment didn't appear ? Awaiting moderation . That's annoying } – May 15, 9:24 PM
- KingCol { Or how about a recommend cover song for them to do .. I'd like to add "Amy winehouse back to black" for the keyboard intro . The song itself would be suitable for all of fnm members to shine } – May 14, 10:23 PM
- Benrun { Good question. You can hear the Patton background vocals on it, but I think that's probably just an effect that either Patton or Roddy plays live. I always figured that Patton must have made some kind of bad face or something when he hits that sour note to open the song and that they didn't want to show it! FNM are pretty particular about their live recordings, they seem reluctant to put anything out there...it took 30 years to put up a live video from the WCAL era! J/K I think they had to acquire that. I've been bored with... } – May 14, 1:49 PM
On Roddy Bottum to star alongside Michael Cera in new Sebastian Silva film (13)
- KingCol { I don't think jizzlobber Phoenix 93 can be beat for no1 slot simply because of the soundboard collaboration with cam visual and Pattons epileptic fit at end } – Mar 18, 7:35 PM
- Benrun { KingCol, Check out this version from the Warfield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhD_7nWw7Ww&feature=related It puts Jim's guitar front and center but the other instruments still cut through...you can still hear some Bill bonking in there. If you close your eyes and listen, it's a pretty well played version, I'm not sure if it comes off as the most aggressive. But then if you watch it as well...pretty aggressive. } – Mar 17, 2:56 AM
- Benrun { I've never heard of that one but it sounds cool. I hope you find it and share! } – Mar 14, 1:43 AM
- KingCol { This is almost impossible to find and could be due to the possibility of it being an unofficial white label remix or something but it's a particular remix of "a small victory" that sounds more or identical to the "youth" remixes only this version has samples of explosions and guns and people screaming as if in a war conflict.. heard it and have part recorded it off a pirate radio station years ago but could never get the full original mix nor find out any info on it . } – Mar 13, 8:46 PM
