I would watch Conan every night over the summer when I was in middle school and early high school. I got hip to so many great bands that way. I'll never forget Weinberg sitting in on drums for Death From Above 1979. Highly recommend looking up that video.
Leeching onto this incredibly astute comment to remind everyone that there is a nationwide prison strike underway right now and you should support it in any way you can.
The hate comes, exactly, from how typical and expected it is. I always feel a tinge of embarrassment for people who make the trite old "well what did you expect? the old southern white guy not to be racist?" type argument as if it's even an argument. Of course it's expected, that's why people are fed up and calling it out for fuck's sake.

I was so struck by the mystery and violence of Exmilitary that I don't think anything else they do will ever be able to compare. It's like the Videodrome of records. Though, there are aspects of each subsequent release that I do enjoy, the feeling I get when Ride bellows "I AM THE BEAST I WORSHIP" is the most visceral and vicious.
