Celebrating 34 Years of Suicidal Tendencies’ How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today….

Tweet

These American crossover thrash icons hit the big time with their 3rd album, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today, an album that embraced metal without fully ditching Suicidal Tendencies‘ hardcore roots.

Mike Muir’s reflective social commentary was as barbed as ever, raging against the world while remaining blackly humorous, but it was the combination of Rocky George’s shredding solo’s and Mike Clark’s mighty metallic riffs which transformed Suicidal Tendencies‘ How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today into an all-time classic.

“Pledge Your Allegiance” may very well be the ultimate metal brotherhood anthem while ‘hit single’ “Trip To The Brain” and the likes of “If I Don’t Wake Up”, “The Miracle” and the title track remain crossover mainstays.

The result? A-grade crossover thrash from one of the scene’s most charismatic bands!
