Saw Smash Mouth at the boardwalk in 2015 http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...9#pid21429

I imagine tg might have more to say.

I just saw the news that he was in hospice about an hour ago with liver issues. My understanding is that he's a bit of an a$$hole. Greg Camp (who was in a couple of First Strike bands when Number Nine was the cool thing) wrote most of the material, but left the band over "differences". I saw that some iteration on Smashmouth, with a different lineup was playing the county fair circuit a few years ago. There's a clip of Steve ranting at the audience. Seemed like a Trump rally kind of thing. 

I'm not a big fan, but it was nice to see some locals make it...

Apparently he became a big drunk - which was not mentioned on the news, naturally. I remember they also fired their drummer because he was an asshole. I did like "Walking on the Sun." I once heard a remix that made it less of a 60s garage rock throwback, and it was even better.

I saw a bunch of pro LGBT & pro Trans tweets he did. So that's good.

The Boardwalk had a nice tribute on their IG today
