    This is a GREAT performance of a great song off a great album - maybe the best album of that year. And they have done outstanding work ever since. I think they are the most overlooked band in the last 30 years of rock and roll.

      becasue todyas music public are fricking idiots and morons for pseudo artists like Beyonce, Mariah, Bieber, Rhianna and Adrianna and wahtever bullshit over produced, lack of talent, lack of substance so called music that is being put out. The Afghan Whigs are the real deal. They restore , they put out, real music.
      They are real artists.

      1. Feminists were offended by their blatant masculinity and they didn't have the money that The Rolling Stones had to combat it.
      2. They got screwed by their record company, which was run by a Feminist who hated them.

      They probably couldn't have existed before or after the 90s, definitely wouldn't have been as successful (although they should have been more successful even then), and a band like this definitely wouldn't get on network TV in any other era, with Dennis no less :)
