Throbbing Gristle Discipline at Coachella 2009

[triumphadelic]

Okay... I'm gonna tell you all a big secret now.... in FACT TG was actually ABBA & ABBA was actually TG ... you will never be able to get ABBA & TG together in the same room ...FACKT RIP BennySleazy

[NickJones55]

It doesn't suck as much as Clapton's Unplugged "Layla" does.

[MrBlairblack]

stunned at just how much this sucks. why so many occultists rally behind this shit will forever remain mysterious to me. this is not magick. not even close.

[PedritoKie]

Lol, no se pueden comparar, en Berlin destrozan el alma gritando y esto? Esto es una porquería, es lamentable..... no es ni un cuarto de lo potente que era en Berlin.

[bottle2lip]

this is horrible. I like Gristle, but jesus christ...maybe my musical taste have just changed

i would def not been fist pumping at coachella to this part of the set....fucking etards

[MrKmanthie]

Throbbing Gristle - back together after all these years? I guess Psychic TV finally cracked.

[module8]

Can I be honest? Although they are pioneers... this really sucks lol

[TheLlamaEater]

@module8 Can I be honest? Although you admit TG's influence... you don't have the balls to stomach their noise lol

[BPCpresents]

PROG!

[psychick023]

Some things change and some things stay the same. What hallucinogenic drugs is Gen on now??

[clancy2k]

wish i had seen them live =[

[smnmntl]

That tit at 5:36 is without doubt the scariest thing I've ever seen

[MrChrisHermes]

Its great-its got a beat-we need to impose this on every MUSLIM CHRISTIAN and JEW till they know that their GOD was a con-and they WILL know.

[TThom2]

TTG greets TG...TT Geigenschrey greets Throbbing Gristle... wonderful noise pals

[TheDigitalreign]

Lies.

[wheelchairepidemic]

FRANTIC TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TOCK

[twentythreeyeah]

compare with watch?v=ZdIK9Oqdh38

the music/sound is more like track 7 from Heathen Earth " don't do as you're told, do as you think"

[feralpriest]

hey Richiev what youre referring to is EBM. RIP Sleazy.

[richievegas01]

With the addition of a rhythm and a vocal hook ,this sounds pretty good. The original 1980 version on here is a total cacophony. I never understood why TG were always considered the Godfathers of industrial (yeah, they founded the label I know) cos they never had any beats. This does and it's loads better for it in my opinion.

[JawboxKoppelganger]

TG was at Coachella '09? Why didn't i know this? Something must've come over me...

[Rumblepicker]

FZ asked: Does humor belong in music? After this i ask: does music belong in humor?

Anyway Genesis on bass is worse than Kronos (Venom).

FZ other question: You call that music?

No reply.

[xadiko69]

80s baby the epicentre of all genres in music 80sssssssssssssssss

[jonathanmelia]

Mmmm. Nice little ditty. You could whistle this at a bus stop.

[MutleeIsTheAntiGod]

@jonathanmelia I actually do, getting on and off my school bus in the mornings _I want discipline, I want discipline

[royalnash]

what kind of crap is this straight garbage music

[ZLUGGO]

See how they hate each other.

[Asymmatrix]

@andywhorehall Yep.

[PharodWormhair]

Rubbish. Utter rubbish.

[pzgdr]

kibba yuh pussyclaat mouth bwoy or mi haffi rinse mi gun inna yuh face..

[harpo10]

@pzbdr speak fucking english asswipe. Or are you truly that illiterate?

[pzgdr]

kiss mi raas yuh dutty fish batty bwoy!!

[verbiiigracia]

Oh the old ladys

[14jwh]

this i would consider anti-music, the complete rejection of traditional music theroy, key structure melody etc and as an art form quite difficult to replicate from performance to performance with acceptable consistency

[gombie]

Oh there's different styles of this anti-music.. Look up Early SpK and Whitehouse.

[AntiMusick]

@14jwh yes it is AntiMusic the original anti records and the such... see the Industrial Culture Handbook that was published in the 1980s.

[ColonPal]

@14jwh "his i would consider anti-music, the complete rejection of traditional music theroy" -- Yes, but it's quite amazing! -- sometimes the BEST music isn't music at all, and the rejection of trad. music IS very much a musical theory in itself -- of course this was done back in '78/79 when we REALLY NEEDED a rejection of the traditional, and look at the mass of creation that came out of such a rejection!

[balloydspiritsoul]

Sickness!!! Can you smell the sickness!!!!

[sickolinokio]

:))))))))))))))

[phenethylaminedreams]

What made you think we're normal?

And techno is stupid shit from Detroit. I like REAL EDM.

[lukeeez]

no, techno is retarded and ridiculous, perfect for retarded and ridiculous people like you...

and anyways all the shitty music you listen to would never existed without artist like Throbbing Gristle

i suppose its not your fault your too stupid to understand what music really is, i guess thats your parents fault really

[PharodWormhair]

Bullshit. Throbbing Gristle owe their entire existence to Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground. You know, real musicians. They were 20 times more "industrial" than these untalented pieces of rubbish. TG did absolutely nothing for electronic music. Microphone feedback coupled with a three second electronic loop and moaning isn't fucking music.

[whatsauce]

fuuucckkk yooouuu

[Asymmatrix]

@PharodWormhair If TG owes everything to The Velvet Underground, then The Velvet Underground owes everything to Sun Ra. Neither is true, obviously.

[subhumanmaster]

PharodWormhair velvet underground and lou reed weren't industrial at all

[drplbiftin]

@PharodWormhair fuck off

[Klowpapier]

@PharodWormhair NICE TROLL 10/10 WOULD RAGE AGAIN

[MoondogUSA]

@PharodWormhair I agree, this is terrible. Its a disgrace that people pay to see this when there are so many talented bands that will never be heard. I'm pretty sure everyone in that audience is either out of their mind on drugs or just pretending to like this shit so they can say they were there and be more hip in whatever dumb ass scene they belong to. Anti-music? That about sums it up. You must have to hate music to like this.

[anothercountyheard]

@MoondogUSA talented bands? guitar, bass and drums and been there done that for 50 years more like it.

The group here is the mack-daddy of ALL punk new-wave independent electronic noise space acid house; everymotherfuckinthing. While the Sex Pistols and the Clash were signed to major corporate labels, this group was the FIRST to make and distribute their own records. Sleazy was a graphic artist who did album covers for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

[anothercountyheard]

@MoondogUSA Further, they were using a home-made digital sampler in 1978. Chris Carter is an electronic music pioneer who built much of their equipment. The multitude of references to literature and Art introduced Situationism, cut-ups, William Burroughs, and a host of related concepts to 1000s of followers across the globe. They made it clear that they were rejecting the traditional pay-yer-dues rockstar bullshit, and creating a new model of music. The most best group since Velvet Underground.

[MoondogUSA]

@PharodWormhair Lou Reed is by no means an amazing musician but he looks like Mozart next to these idiots.

[gOnZoKiNgDoM]

i was there... tripping balls. alot to handle. stunned, amazed, moved.

[DanielBowden1975]

I love my fanny

[spookygothu]

hahahah love her that's definitely a crazy band,this is a much different version then the first one I've seeing

[73juno]

I think Genesis gives us a good idea of what Courtney Love will look like in about another 15-20 years...

[roboticd]

@73juno gen already looks better than CL

[Wscate]

@73juno I kinda think jen looks better then Courtney love that woman is a mess.

[mattisprettycool]

I want to see these guys so badly.

[aphex00]

i saw them when this video was being shot and not long after at the Ricardo Montalban theater. I can honestly say the latter show was one of the most unique and brilliant I have ever seen.

[pzgdr]

widow twanky...

[macvsog23]

spot on

all is not well in the TG garden

Cant say it is going to get better

[pzgdr]

mad for them back in the day...but this re birth does nothing for me...

[macvsog23]

I never could spell

[zznprkzz]

[Thesagga]

[wwxoxww]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!­!

[CyberGrindTerror]

Calleto so memo de mierda... no entiendes mas que el concepto de musica comercial, soplapollas.

[CorpusHermeticum]

ah shit- they had to ruin it by playing again... what assholes!!!!

jokes- one and all

[lurkerphoenix]

jerk

[gombie]

Genesis should be called as Lady DaDa..

[relanzator]

wonderful!

[morfitt666]

Gen looks like Courtney Love now

[gombie]

A skeleton? no she doesn't.

[A40HourTrain]

so why is this good? It sounds like the inside of an old clock with random wailing

[bilebeast]

That is why it is good.

[rawsueage]

between TG & PE, fucking amazing!!!! my legs were rubber bands after this. cheers for posting my memory : /

[ZargodSF]

wow ! just saw the show in SF.. Gen's daughter showed up. tTG was Freekin amazing !!!

[NoiseGoat]

Thank you so much for uploading this! It was such a treat to be able to see Throbbing Gristle perform. It was definitely the best set of the weekend and the fact that they began with Persuasion and ended with Discipline elevated the set to legendary status. If you've got more vids of this show please don't hesitate to upload them

[7875]

thank you so much for posting! this was an incredible night and they were so much harder than i had anticipated.

[bradleyjerome]

I was blown away when the beat came back at 4:11. Probably my favorite musical performance all weekend.

[echodek5]

All this time I thought NIN was true industrial...

[Sesquipedaliantique]

"True" is one adjective which should never, ever be used to describe music.

[fjm666]

fucking amazing. i'm not a dancer and i never thought of TG as especially dancy, but i rocked out through the whole set

[derricio]

One of the best shows I've seen in my life.

[iscleyva]

yeah! we need some discipline here!! great music, great band, true industrial

[valstreit]

Sorry guys - I knew that... but was so tired after such a long late night. So is the following from Wikipedia incorrect?

"On 29 May 1981, Throbbing Gristle performed at the Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco, California, USA. This concert marked the end of the group and its mission. As Cosey succinctly put it, "TG broke up because me and Gen broke up.'"

[lrlarue]

"On 29 May 1981, Throbbing Gristle performed at the Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco, California, USA. This concert marked the end of the group and its mission."-- YUP DAT TRUE As Cosey succinctly put it, "TG broke up because me and Gen broke up.'"__LOL in coseys opinion i guess

[AntiMusick]

@valstreit it was correct for many years, but you see money this brings them all back together also a few deaths that's another story free them from past musical projects.

[voodoodrew23]

just a quick edit before people start flipping out...his name is Genesis, not Dennis. Great footage, BTW!!

[lrlarue]

and dis is not der first perfomance togther since 1981 dat was a while back at london astoria
