I forget which Texas guy I argued with about DEP a while back. Texascrawford I think? Anyway I owe him an apology, DEP's version of Hot For Teacher at the last Cavalera Conspiracy concert was so awesome!

Incredible band, but god I hate their song titles sometimes. Really though, I cannot think of any other band more deserving of that reward them DOP!

that video was cool as hell. i'm not too crazy about them though. at some parts they remind me of 9 inch nails. and as the video ends, that song really wasn't that bad. their drummer is pretty good too

#1, apology accepted. But realize, you're allowed to think about DEP what you want to think. I personally think they're the best band still in existence, and I'm not saying that to start an argument. I see that they're quite the acquired taste, but I've been listening to them for at least 6 years, now, and to me one second of any DEP album isn't worth all the Death Magnetics in France.
