  • Well, hats off to the musicians and producer. This could have fooled a lot of people into just thinking it was the original....(except for the spoken word bit and random note synth burst at the end). "Artists" do things outside "what's expected" for various reasons. Why they stayed so true to the original?? Who cares? Seriously. Speculate on. This one have any valid reason? To surprise their fans? Whatever!

  • this is terrifying and hilarious.

  • I can hear Rose McDowall on backing vocals but she doesn't appear in the video !! :( i love you rose! (and Gen!)

  • This is fucking awesome!

  • I looooooooooooove Gen!

    Good in everything indeed!

    And the clothes...I want the same

  • Genesis is amazing. But he couldn't lip sync. At all. Love the guy, but let's be honest in that respect.

  • i think the point is that it is cheesy. antithesis is essential to true artistic genius. genesis is a fucking g. a fucking brilliant man. i don't idealize him, i just think he is capable of incredible conceptualization. in which case, when i saw this, i was not shocked what-so-ever. psychic tv's music is often filled with a lot of traditionally western pop melodic structures. so what? he gets it. he fucks with it. he takes what you think is perfectly nice and clean and extorts it.

  • I love love love COUM and TG ^^^^^^^^^^

    but I'm sorry this is embarrassing and unnecessary - song and video. Why do a note-for-note remake with a bit of spoken word and noise at the end? How can or why would you want to try to duplicate the textures in Brian Wilson's original? And the mugging, cliched, obvious video? Why?

  • @dansampey Yes....I totally agree with you: what was the point of this venture? It just seems so contrary to Gen's whole 'anti-music' artistic ethos. The perfect duplication of the classic song certainly speaks to the talent of the young musicians Gen surrounded himself with back then (where are they all now?). Although I like the song this cover/video is a little cheesy coming from the former Coum/TG front man.

  • @dansampey exactly

  • I would highly recommend that all fans of Gen read the book

    Wrecker's of Civilization: The Story of Coum Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle by Simon Ford. Gen: thanks for your significant contribution to art,music,and magick.

  • Hypnotists,, psychics, white witches, wikka, mediums, ghosts. They say "all of us have psychic or healing ability."You are a God". They say they have a "gift" from God. They might even help people in confusing ways, but they do not lead people to Christ! The way to discern them: They do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. They might say "he was a prophet" or "He thought he was the son of God." They roll their eyes if you speak of Jesus or try to witness to them. RUN FROM THEM.

  • @twocentsin Who gives a rat's ass about the recycled dying-and-resurrected God you Christians stole from the Egyptian religion? Perhaps you could give people a reason for believing that doesn't revolve around fear and your exaggerated sense of self-importance. I won't hold my breath.

  • @gzinderdine

    I just think you either believe in survival of the fittest,

    and the alliances/dynamics that occur with that,

    or you believe in something else

  • @gzinderdine None of this matters.

  • @twocentsin Hi - would you like to give me Jesus last address? What was his daytime job [FYI he was not a carpenter, he was the SON of a carpenter]? He hung out with a bunch of dudes (two of which were known as the 'sons of thunder' sound like a real good name for pacifists] John, brother of James (both nicknamed The Boanerges meaning "Sons of Thunder") ... So you want people to have faith in a family of invisible super beings who can't run the cosmos they allegedly created? Duh!

  • I don't know how he is the same guy as coum transmissions either... or topy... or anything else for that matter. wide range.

  • 'Gen youre my hero- Oh my god ! thats not healthy '

  • wonder if ariel pink likes psychic tv HAHA

  • uh first time listen this Psychic tv side...i like it, best version.

  • This is what I like, only Good vibrations, awesome! Pee Wee Herman heard the tale of large Marge and did Tequila, then smoked Marijuana. Then ate the gloworm. So kewl, Zealand sharks. The Holy Cross on CN peptides.

    aparently

    O

  • /=.I.=\er-i LIKE

  • My favorite performance artist bar none. A true genius is Genesis Breyer P-Orridge who founded several genres of music but managed to never sell out, like so many others did along the way.

  • when he was still a man, wearing awsome pink boxers in that pool. fully clothed and f-up is the only way to swim btw

  • why dont i have friends like these!

  • I like the breakdown

  • The stuffed sailfish is still in the band, alas all the others are long long gone....

    R.I.P. genesis...all hail the reborn S/he B.P. ( British Petroleum.) Orridge king and queen of the night !

  • Drugs and video editing dont mix...otherwise....LOVE PTV and this song

  • genesis it's hard to comprehend for those who hasn't follow his evolution, so messure your opinions 'cause they may sound more than stupids....i know you might not mind, tha's the problem with the habit

  • god, give me a break.

  • you have it

  • I love this song, but the video is so damn goofy!

  • it's not working at all....i was really curious,damn!

  • probably one of the best video

    (s)he a very talented and brilliant artist

  • Drinking german wiiiiiine.

  • @glun ..brave!!hehhe

  • he is just good in everything, i love him

  • doesnt dozen TTTTTTTTT drinkS&driveS the ocean the boulevard the motion off less spoken dreams~~~ jet boys on the beach girls baby (when you can swim try the pool butt if you dont resist the fool)
  • Genius.

  • Fantastic,i love this version,i remember this being played on Channel 4 Chart Show,thnks for the post!!

  • not a bad version, not an easy song to do but i think it should have been left alone even so! very little harmonies in this version and thats what made the original!

  • I cant believe this was the same dude who was COUM and TG sometimes.

  • Gen is God/dess.

  • @JRBobDobbs23 Grow up- he is a simple TranE.... ha.

  • Comment removed

  • i was thinking the same dude! i think i was all down hill from here!

  • The song/version is fantastic - very powerful and freaky. The video spoils it.

  • Genesis P is the David Lee Roth of the underground.

  • It's David Larcher who make this excellent LSD Beach Boys Vids !

  • i love this ptv cover! and never saw the videoclip, its funny! ;D

  • hey they sound remarkably like the beach boys here lol. did they just make a video for their song? or is it ptv singing & playing?

    note: beach boys stole cease to exist from charels manson and re worded some of it and called it cease to resist.

  • Actually they called the song "Never Learn Not To Love" and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys only marginally borrowed from Manson's original "Cease To Exist". Most of the work is Dennis'

  • never knew about this.... wonder what the reasoning behind doing this was.. it sounds really good though. like it alot.
