[supermanicedm]

[pbouvret]

great quality, thanks

[scottieboygwc]

I watched this at the time and went out and bought everything i could just amazing, blew me way, good to see it again ace!!! Remember this was shown at 6 oclock on a friday night, hahahahha

[sloanmidwestXTC]

Bowie for the 80s lol. I know he was still around, but who gave a fuck by then? And yeah, hilarious watching this audience

[gnowave]

@sloanmidwestXTC bowie for the 80s? well, his hair might, now looking back, be a little bowie-ish, but musically couldnt be farther away from bowie.

i'd say foetus energy has more in common with little richard and jerry lee lewis on an acid trip to hell and back!

[roblemon67]

Performance!



[fuelyournews]

i hear nick cave & the birthdayparty strange // its a good 1!! this ..

[TheMimifur]

Met them in a bar just by Heaven.

[BlatendCrude]

volume goes up and down, ruining Clints Ruin

[ChesterLoadstone]

I agree with Shambhala4053. A masterpiece. Few songs can touch this.

[TheMimifur]

He was quite rude when i met him. I was very disappointed. Meeting Jim and Lydia in a bar in London and they were not very nice to me as a fan.

[Gorgeouso24]

@TheMimifur What did they do to you to strike you as rude? Jim always seems humble in his interviews. As for Ms. Lunch, I'm not really surprised that she was rude.

[supermanic21]

1985? so ahead of his time.

[orchidtender]

"Meet you on the corner of Nothin' and Nowhere. Where in hell is THAT?!" I would say that it's where this audience is standing.

[royorbitol]

Wow.....Love this.

"Come to Bedrock" is also mindblowing song of him.

[jasonbigelow]

The audience doesn't know what the fuck they're seeing,do they?

[FNTM3rd]

glory, glory, hallelujah--you'll get what's comin' to ya sounds like a pretty direct influence on Mr. Reznor's 'bow down before the one you serve, yr gonna get what you deserve'. But, anyone who was well-versed in Foetus saw the rank plagiarism IMMEDIATELY on arrival of NIN. Try and deny it, fanboys...

[Jaaaaam]

@FNTM3rd I'm a bit of a fanboy myself and it's not worth trying to deny so obviously are parts of Pretty Hate Machine heavily influenced to say the least by Thirlwell (especially The Only Time which is a pop Foetus track). I doubt Trent'd deny the influence either.

[focusgroupcomputer]

it would have sucked to perform in front of this audience.

[badluckshadow13]

"...and this week's performance shall consist of Jim Thirlwell serenading a small gathering of zombies."

Also, that jump into the audience was the funniest shit ever, it was like they actually backed up or something.

[Shambhala4053]

Probably the best song from one of the best album ever.

[gnowave]

@Shambhala4053 DI19026 is pretty good too, as is ANYTHING. i loved the remixed version of FLOW!, called BLOW! if i remember rightly, almost all the remixes were done by folk associated with the jungle/drum & bass label/outfit called nija tunes, and an amazing one from jazz drum & bass guy amon tobin, stunning peice of work.

[gnowave]

@Shambhala4053 actually here's that one remixed by amon tobin here on youtbe, search for "foetus amon tobin" and your there, showing he still does shit hot shit.

[gnowave]

its quite weird seeing him so young and unconfident and uncomfortable yet here with performing in public.

and the bass groove is an old classic rockabilly-blues groove made famous by the stray cats "runaway boys" but here jim (foetus) lays the stray cats behind in the girls room.

[STEPPENMOON]

MY alltime INSPIRATION :since the early 80's !!! He Makes me POSITIVE!!!

[KotoRyu]

everytime i see this guy perform, the audience always exudes "meh"

[Jaaaaam]

@KotoRyu I like to pretend they're in awe. I know I would be. The other alternative for this audience faced with Jim Foetus at his most intense is absolute terror.

[33brave33]

really cool performer...

I love this song...

[cretinousfool]

I wonder why he didn't have a live band to perform this with him...

[ausklang]

playback but awesome

[WantedMan86]

not playbnack but semiplayback:)

[coprographia]

Jesus, is that audience dead?

[MaggotBoy]

Well, Duh... It is The Batcave...

[discoverydavid]

Actually its not THe Batcave...its a TV studio in London....I ran home from school to see this..it was on The Tube on C4 on Fridays.

[mskristipdx]

Amazing. Great quality as well! Jim is da Man.

[roadworms]

What tv show was this taken from? The audience is so funny: "pretty" dressend, absolutely stiff standing and obviously can't cope with him / his music ... but they even applause -LOL-.

Thanks a lot for this one!

[jim90290]

It was taken from a British TV music show called The Tube.

[gnowave]

@roadworms not only that, but there was the pretentious cow who was interviewing him with arrogant disgust calling himsexist, when jim just uses this stuff the hammer the sexist and ignorant.

yep, 80s UK was dire, the women we hackitt (scots for horrid looking) and the pop music was as plastic as now. but the underground and alternative scene ACTUALLY existed in 80s Uk.

[604tron]

Ese disco es inconseguible por aca en Mexico...

[Certex]

Fucking SUPERB.

[fiend71]

Takes me back to the old days!

[MarineResearchCentre]
