3I'm with da wabbit.
The complete opposite of Crap.
If you got to see them with Jon Von Feldt, you were among the lucky ones.
I had the pleasure of having them as houseguests way back when, and Guy succeeded in doing something I had not been able to do on my own: scare the shit so completely out of my housemate that she moved out that weekend.
He didn't even do anything scary!

4I vote NOT CRAP.
The song "Mother", on the "Moonhead" LP, is one of my favourite things of theirs.
A sinuous bassline, eerie arpeggio on the first guitar and the second guitar blowing throughout like a cold desert wind. The macabre vocals and lyrics adding to a spooky piece of musical evocation.
"Crawl Piss Freeze" is both utterly merciless and (em)pathetic.
"Disney Girl" is comprised mostly of a laser-sharp twin guitar feedback duel, with a bassline like a red siren and a ghoulish vocal refrain.

9A friend of mine's older brother once saw TWR and said that one of the guitarists, during his soundcheck, made some spooky feedback for a few seconds, nodded his head, and put the guitar back down, satisfied.
Their cover of Marty Robbins' "They're Hanging Me Tonight" is one of the best covers ever.

10Feedback squalls and sustain were techniques Guy and Roger used for achieving their guitar sound.
"Wet Heart" for me evokes a dank cave with fangs of ice hanging from the roof and rabid bats dying somewhere in the darkness, with Guy's disembodied voice overwhelmed with sexual jealousy and paranoia.
I never saw them live. "The One That Got Away" is considered a good, deliberate document of the band's last live show.
