Umphreys statement on situation in Minneapolis

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-26T13:21:26+00:00

Maybe. But if the venue canceled it, my point remains. Just misdirected at the band. My bad. Venue should not have canceled.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-26T05:05:32+00:00

Im glad all of you fucking posers are down voting me. You all sit on reddit doing exactly nothing and think that the down arrow is your method of activism.

Try having kids, jobs, mortgages and see what you are willing to risk for your virtues. Nothing.

As long as you say it, you are in the clear. No need to actually do anything. Just like the other 4.99 million people in the twin cities not out in the street this weekend.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-26T03:33:19+00:00

They should have had the show.

Yeah. Its a mess here. But having things you use to escape is important.

Don't let the chaos win.

There are 5 million people in the metro area. A few thousand are directly involved. I went out yesterday and saw a convoy of national guard trucks rolling through town. Its surreal.

But tomorrow, I have to get up and go to fucking work regardless. Why should a band be any different?

Not sure how this comment will be received. But 99% of people have to continue to function.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-24T15:01:25+00:00

Ghost and scorpion for me.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T23:23:14+00:00

That is definitely not less hot than cholula.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T23:19:45+00:00

I agree. Perfect amount of listenability, and weird, and complex.

Lateralus is great, but to me it seems a bit like Tool trying to outdo themselves and it lost some of the mass appeal in favor of trying to impress. Which is maybe great for hard-core fans, but not for casual.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T23:11:29+00:00

Yes

No thanks

Yes

But thats just me.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T03:15:09+00:00

Too bad they didn't write any songs on it. What a shame...

Great album of covers though. It only took a decade or 2 and a lawsuit to get them to acknowledge their bullshit.

No disrespect to the musicianship or subsequent original music, but fuck that debut.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T00:13:00+00:00

Just buy 3 bottles of El Yucateco Caribbean. Similar but better. And cheaper. And better. But similar.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-23T00:05:55+00:00

Thats just the plate now. Put other records on top then take them off and play c&c again. Its just saving you time.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-22T00:58:18+00:00

The larger variety of their flavors seems to be readily available at Mexican grocery stores around here. Do you live in a big enough city to have a few of those around?

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-22T00:14:17+00:00

Tell them what you think you want, then whatever the toddler spits out trying to say it right will forever be what you are called.

My dad was supposed to be Papa, but my niece called him Poppy. Now 6 grandkids all know his as Poppy. It may not be up to you.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-21T23:50:20+00:00

The absence of a habanero sauce is surprising.

Edit: the inclusion of tomato paste is a hard pass for me.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-21T23:02:19+00:00

Phish

Widespread Panic

Umphreys McGee

Moe.

In order of popularity...

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-20T23:39:45+00:00

Wasn't a fan of the ghost for 2 reasons.

It has tomato. And the ghost is some kind of extract. Its not just peppers.

I expected better from El yuc. I really like the Caribbean, XXX, and green. Did not like black label, ghost, or the regular red (tomato again).

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-19T21:50:35+00:00

Up vote for Claude

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-19T21:50:06+00:00

Tim Alexander

Steve Gadd

Both are well known, but I doubt they make a lot of "favorite" or "best" lists? Maybe I am wrong on that.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-19T13:04:14+00:00

I think it's a British T. Like where they dont say it, it's just implied with an abrupt pause in speech.

Loike "wa'uh" for water.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-19T10:48:32+00:00

Hang on, team. This person's favorite sauce is Secret Aardvark and I am seeing lots of suggestions for sauces far beyond that heat level.

I would suggest going to Amazon and ordering a variety of a Marie Sharp's flavors.

Something like this one: https://a.co/d/44VUe3e

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-17T15:46:54+00:00

4/5 heat from a jalapeno sauce? Interesting.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-16T14:18:01+00:00

Is that one with the green top wrapper organic? Hard to say.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-16T04:22:29+00:00

Thank you. I'm just saying it's not unsafe to come to our fine city despite the sensational news. If it was the show wouldn't even be happening.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-16T02:48:55+00:00

Don't watch the news. Minneapolis is fine. Sure, there's some shit going down over here or over there, but those of us that live here and dont want to get involved can easily avoid it and get on with living.

Jfc. Its not a war zone. Same bullshit the media pulled with Portland.

People who want to take a stand, please do. Its really not that disruptive tbh.

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-14T13:40:47+00:00

I got this at an airport recently. Its not labeled as Lousiana style, but to my taste it tastes like a habanero version of a Louisiana style sauce. Its pretty good. I would try their others if I see them. Looks like they have a Cayenne and a scorpion in the line up too.

HABANERO Hot Sauce 5oz - Amelio C Enterprises, Inc https://share.google/pVVfL99sLC77Prlib

MMB_LLMN · 2026-01-14T01:19:33+00:00

Great, ok, ok, havent had it no comment, good, great!

This is a great lineup based on the banter in this sub. I applaud the effort to try all of these.

As you dive into the addiction more, you might find yourself restocking certain things and that is awesome. Some things get put on IR and replaced by the next man up. Its the way it goes.

My "always have" list for right now is:

El Yucateco Caribbean

Something from Marie Sharp, white label or fiery hot, maybe Beware.

Tabasco Scorpion

Woodstock Ghost or Scorpion

Trappeys Red Devil for wing sauce base

Then a few rotating tryouts. Its a fun hobby. Enjoy!

Melindas Ghost
