Specifically the "I was a cinder body and soul my dream" (although it says dreams in the song), and I think the "grain like curtain" was in the same book as well/.
I was reading a book once, and some of the lyrics from this song were taken from the book. It was either "Melmoth the wanderer" or "The Monk", I think it was The Monk as it was about the spanish inquisition. But I can't remember for sure. As many times as Ive been watching a movie and heard skinny puppy samples in it... it was weird finding the same thing in text from a book. Both great books BTW.
Now that's what i call poetry. So many of my generation think of lyrics and poetry of being "oh poor me, my girlfriend dumped me, life sucks, I'm going to wear my sister's pants". I just don't get it.
I dont know if he ever answered or not, but this is from "Aint it dead yet?" video. I have it on my comp, I actually still have the old VHS tape of it. I can maybe get it to you somehow, but its a big file, so im not sure how. if you want it message me.
I can see how these guys might have influenced the darker side of My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, but I still prefer MLWTKK. MLWTKK has a great sense of playfulness, whereas this is all intensely manic depressive music, much of which is unintelligible.
For me industrial music is Throbbing Gristle (whose Industrial Records label was the first apparent use of the word in that context) early SPK, some Nurse With Wound, Whitehouse, Test Dept., old -school I guess. Skinny Puppy have industrial influences and they fucking rock. I've seen them seven times including this show. Brilliant.
@steinber he's come out quit a few times distancing himself from comments he made early on in his career. there was an interview a while back featuring both him and marc almond (soft cell) talking about this.
@steinber the great thing is that no one really cares about idiosyncratic subjectivist definitions like this one. To nearly everyone else skinny puppy is industrial music.
@DivisionbyZer0 so are you saying because the music is depressing and made by depressed people ,it is inferior? Well, at least they are putting their pain into a beautiful art form and not blowing their own brains out or hurting others. get over it.
i wonder how can ohGr remember such difficult lyrics lol. awesome song from album 'mind;perpertual intercourse'. which is also my fav SP album. much better than Too Dark Park and as good as 'VivisectVi'
Hey!! the stuff he does on stage is that real, stabbing himself in the neck its fucking crazy, this is my first time hearing this, its good music the stuff i like, i saw the lead singer in a Interview, he seems totally diff then on stage, seems like a very smart guy...
I thing some moments remains me main theme soundtrack from Commando movie with Arnie, music from James Horner, maybe Im failed, maybe not. Then in oct1988 adjectived album VIVIsect VI is combination of noise, thefted movie samples, crushed rythms and melodies. This is the similar form of melodie and rythm.
OMG, this song brings back so many great memories. Grew up in the 80's, really into the club scene in the latter half of the 80's. The best way to listen to this song, or any of SP's music is in a club with super massive size speakers ( the kind where at least 10 people can stand inside) that have unbelievable bass. Wow! Good times!
Yeah but that club was'nt all that great (but alot better than the one that followed in that location) But on the right night and state of mind I could relate to what you're saying.
Whatz the video called and where do I find it? I had the privilege of seeing Skinny Puppy in NYC a few yearz ago. Amazing, just like I thought it would be.
Yep, Ogre's been in a movie. It's called Repo! The Genetic Opera. (It's a rock opera, of course, with no spoken word.) It's directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III, & IV) and stars Anthony Stewart Head, Alexa Vega, Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino, Ogre, Bill Moseley, (don't be frightened off by this) Paris Hilton, and Terrance Zdunich. You should look it up on IMDb. Also, look up "Repo! The Genetic Opera - Mark It Up" here on YouTube and click the one that says (Music Video.)
Oh! And Ogre's going to be in another movie next year. It's a sequel to the Robert Englund movie 2001 Maniacs. I don't know about Ogre's character except his name is Harper Alexander... which is awesome.
@kssykssygg But ogre's presence was a big disappointment. I was really looking forward to Skinny Puppy moments or his well-known voice distortion. All we got was the fucking mask and a goofy French accent. Talk about missed opportunity! Repo was a fun movie, but I do get kind of sad when I think about how it would have been so much better if they had just 1 or 2 numbers to showcase Ogre doing the Ogre thing. They let Paris do the Hilton thing?! Ogre's a lot more interesting than Paris, come on!
I have this entire concert video...it's amazing but not as amazing as seeing them perform live. I've managed it twice both times at the Concert Hall in Toronto! Unbelievable peformance! Though Ogre doesn't sign autographs...shame. Ya I guess I'm a Puppy fan boy at heart. lol.
Ogre is such a fucking performer it's insane. No wonder he went on to be in a movie. I don't know Skinnpy Puppy that well at all but they sure are cool as hell.
none of us really can understand all his lyrics even himself alot of them are just fillers even nivek said that but most his songs do mean something personal
My reaction in the middle:
"Hey, he's taking out an electric guitar, that's pretty aweso - OH MY GAWD, HIS EYES."
