Butthole Surfers

mr dave · 01-27-2009, 03:01 AM

i've only really listed to the 'commercial' albums.

'electric larryland' isn't that bad, everyone has heard 'pepper'

i don't mind the sun sometimes
the images it shows
i can taste you my lips
and smell you in my clothes.

there's also a 'cover' if you will of ministry's 'jesus built my hotrod' with actual lyrics as opposed to the ding dong dang dang-a-long-a-ding-dong that gibby haynes sang on the original.

'independent worm saloon' also has its moments. i really like 'edgar' and 'the wooden song'

i've heard random cuts from their older stuff and have a copy of 'hairway to steven' on my hard drive. it's also great, and while i can see that the band did become a little more 'commercial' with the releases i mention above at least they still sounded like the butthole surfers... the last 'new' album i heard was 'weird revolution' and quite frankly it sucked, it sounded like a slightly more intelligent version of the bloodhound gang.

yes, deffo. Any of the three albums I mentioned to Janszoon. Admittedly those are the only ones I have but the Butthole consensus seems to agree with me =D

I may have to chance my arm sometime then.

Locus Abortion Technician, Hairway To Steven, Psychic Powerless, Rembrandt Pussyhorse = all awesome.

also, their first EP is one of the craziest things i've ever heard.

the rest of their stuff, I can live without.

Also, their chapter in the book 'Our Band Could Be Your Life' is the best one, they were quite the crazy bunch of people.

I miss the old Butthole Surfers, they were ****ing insane. The video for "Cherub" is disturbing, yet amusing.

Locust Abortion Technician is pretty good. Will have to get some more.

yeah, kind of a bump, but i got a hold of a good amount of discography, listening to it now, and so far my favorite album is Independent Worm Saloon. and while i think they are capable of making some really good stuff, some of their songs are a bit too out there for my tastes.

even so, i'll definately keep playing their stuff, even after this is over

There's something I enjoy in all of releases but my favorite album is probably Psychic... Powerless... Another Man's Sac. Their live shows are great. You can download some some good ones off their website.

The first thing I heard by them was Pioughd, which I think is better than it gets credit for ("PSY" is pretty fantastic, IMO). The older stuff is definitely better, though. The "Jimi/Lou Reed" two-fer from their Double Live album (found on their website) is classic, unhinged Buttholes. I'd suggest Psychic...Powerless as a starting place, with LAT after that.

Independent Worm Saloon was my first album from them and still remains my favorite. I haven't heard an album from them that I really disliked though (Weird Revolution was close). I really need to get Psychic...Powerless soon.
