  • I got a VHS years back called 'Industrial revolution'. It had a Willam Bourrows clip and later on had this live clip. I was floored, I didn't know what I'd seen but I was sure it was sincear. Like it or hate it this was brave emotional music.

  • Product of wealthy and dysfunctional family.

    Couldn't always get his way, so became an angry punk, nihilist and homosexual in the same day.

  • Giving him discipline will result in being kissed.

  • The guy at 8:58 - 9:20 is now an important member of the UK Independence Party.

  • What a crock of shit. This is stupid. Watching retarded and mentally ill jackoffs with a microphone is not a musical performance.

  • I wish I was in that crowd

  • @MissMurder1243 Me too!

  • 8:57

  • Comment removed

  • this helps me study anatomy and physiology.

  • @allmenarerapists That's pretty awesome. I tend to listen to their live performances (which were released on cassettes back in the 70s and 80s and can actually be found on the internet) when I study or just read for pleasure. They tend to be mostly instrumental, and I honestly think they're better than their official albums (which happen to incorporate live performances in them as well... other than 20 Jazz-Funk Greats).

  • When watching this video. You have to put yourself in the time period. When is this from the late 70s?? That is completely fucked... These guys are fucking pioneers.

  • @ibanezgeorge This is actually from 1981. It's a clip from their last performance... which was in California.

  • @JaackPat Wow cool. Thanks for the info.

  • mommy the bad man is screaming at me^^

  • He's trying to act scary but he's not fooling that audience haha.

  • @christophebassett Nah, I seriously doubt Genesis gives a fuck.

  • haaahaaa this is why like music like the residents, captain beefheart, primus, devo,.. it puts a big smile on my face.

  • someone give the dude discipline already

  • omg was ist das für ein unglaublicher dreck!

  • these guys are so much better than nickleback.

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur I don't understand how you can make the comparison. One is pop and the other is experimental... both are on two completely different ends of the musical spectrum in rock (if you can even call TG "rock").

  • @JaackPat It was just a joke. I dont like nickleback at all so i could say that about every band. sorry for the confusion. thanks for not being a dick about it though. guys on the internet are nuts sometimes. hahaha

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur No big deal. Honestly, I don't let the anonymity of the internet turn me into a complete jackass... something many others should do. :)

  • It's weird too, industrial was one of the most anarchic and chaotic music genres, and it's now one of the strictest :/

  • Musical chaos, love it! I

    love Einsturzende Neubauten more though, I recon they took it even further.

  • @socioistic - so fucking what. who cares what you think.

  • I haven't looked at this comment page in years.

    Without digging too deeply into the pages and pages of comments, I think it's clear the same arguments are just being recycled over and over.

    I'm sooo glad I turned off E-Mail notifications.

  • If this was the first real industrial music, then The Doors was the first prog band, The Yardbirds was the first heavy metal band, and James Brown was the first rapper.

  • @Socioistic They pionerred Industrial music dumb ass.

  • @IndustrialMilitia

    No they didn't, they had a drum beat, a guy crying, or screaming, I can't tell which, and a guy controlling the sound on his mic. Making noise come through a speaker doesn't make it music, you shit.

  • @Socioistic Have you ever heard the Industrial moto? "Industrial, because noise matters"

  • @Socioistic sound like your kind of industrial music is the multitude of bands doing heavy metal with electronic trappings!

    the TG motto was Industrial Music For Industrial People. they coined the frase Industrial Music. they are the originators.

  • @wwwescapeartistsdk

    So? Steppenwolf coined "heavy metal", but no one thinks of them when they think of early heavy metal. Most people don't even know who they are. Creating a genre doesn't make it good music. It's literally just a fucking guy whining over a beat.

  • @Socioistic then don't fucking listen to it, and let those of us who enjoy it listen in peace. It's that fucking simple.

  • @WitchfinderGeneral56

    Because they are an abomination, an abortion of music. They are a dying fetus that the 1970's shit out, and allowed to live. It's fucking stupid. They shouldn't have been allowed to make music. Anyone who listens to them is stupid. Plain and simple.

  • @Socioistic Huh, sounds like you need some discipline

  • @Socioistic Also, a life. One not devoted to insulting a band you don't like.

  • Comment removed

  • To say something that wouldn't sound like i'm pretending be an expert... or capable to appreciate this, i have to say i got to this link because de amazing Dj MAGDA SAID THIS WAS ONE OF THE THREE GROUPS THAT INFLUENCED HER THE MOST

  • oddly, not my thing

  • all the filth in the world

  • put the snowflakes on and everything will be alright

  • HOLY FUCK!

  • They where a revolution and my bands from industrial, ebm, trance, noise, ambient, wtf-ever still "borrowing" from them till today.

  • Love Gen.

  • i like how the audience really isnt moving at all.

  • Woah Gen! This is amazin'...would have loved to be there! So out there it's a bit scary!

  • anyone know what year this was?

  • While it is fine for musicians to experiment, it is best to hide your failed experiments in the studio where they belong.

  • @MrGutley You definitely don't get the point of industrial, do you?

  • Comment removed

  • @MrGutley This was made back in the 70s before there was proper technology. The Industrial artists we see today are blessed with technology. I'd like to see you create a fucking genre with hardly any resources.

  • @JamesManes I don't think it was the lack of resources so much as the lack of songwriting ability or vocal talent on display here. Any halfwit can make a hideous noise, even an original hideous noise. Real talent involves making a racket that sounds good. TG achieved that for a small handful of songs, but not here.

  • @MrGutley Honestly it just sounds like you lack the ability to understand that other people have different tastes. Go listen to the song 1930 by Merzbow and get back to me. It sounds like nothing in music theory, but it had to be edited and produced. He took time to make sure it sounded right to him just as TG did.

  • @MrGutley The thing is, TG wasn't trying to sound good. You're fundamentally missing the point of TG. They were a shock art group. They were trying to be abrasive, and they succeeded. I like this song because of the awesome shifting polyrhythm and Genesis' amazing stage presence, as well as his tormented vocals. If you look under all the layers of noise the song is really quite an incredible piece of work.

  • @MrGutley It's best if you just keep your pie-hole shut when it comes to something you obviously have no authority in.

  • I'm not sure if I like it or not, but it's interesting.

  • All underground snobbery aside, this is thoroughly unenjoyable.

  • @TheChirpingAssholes i think you mean to say its really awesome...

  • I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be comedic or serious.

  • Throbbing Gristle is like a lost fetus in a dumpster. No one likes to talk about it, but its out there. Awesome music.

  • @texasB666 best analogy

  • esa tipa como que anda en drogas???

  • @DarkOrlanD Drogas my friend definitely drogas ;P

  • Our society turns people into fucking sheeps.

  • @khoroshoorange yes like cattle to the slaugther, nobody seems to rebel anymore, kids these days maybe...when mommy and daddy dont buy them an new iphone

  • @gohan11223344

    i dont know there is potential out there. like the occupy movement.

    and a lot of good opinions but everybody gets screwed and oppressed.

    in the end some people think "its no use" and submit. but i dont think this can go on forever. eventually things will peak.. i mean a lot of positive things have been achieved through dissident.

    who knows whats going to happen in the future.

  • do anybody else's suggestions on the right there include a justin bieber christmas song featuring mariah carey? what a truly bizarre world we live in. i guess throbbing gristle and current child pop are now the same thing?

  • America had hardcore punk.

    England had, this. I don't even know what to call it. I could call it "industrial". But I'm not going to. I'm going to call it "this". But "this" is very good.

  • @spicyMcHAGGIS9green Do you like hardcore punk?

  • this is what it sounds like in my head every day at work, then i clock out, and pour some booze on the head and it sounds like LMFAO.

  • love this!

  • dis is eng-land

  • The best Song from TG!!!!

  • this is fucking HORRIBLE whilst baked

  • fucking drugs

  • LOL

  • I just saw Genesis perform today. Man, he looks like a mess, but what a commanding voice. Absolutely fab.

  • @GrogMindwhip Sorry, s/he looks like a mess, of course.

  • Original industrial! I cut my teeth on this )

    Thanks for putting it up!!!!

  • WTF it got all gay at the end. 

  • I can't wait for the industrial version of the rapture.

  • cmon you sheep want to get diciplined by Orridge, dont you?

  • @khoroshoorange I'd be a happy participant in an Orridge dictatorship

  • @liveatthewitchtrials

    haha okay i get the wood you get the oven..

  • somebody Discipline this dude, lol

  • Comment removed

  • i think he wants discipline 

  • I make music with a very heavy Throbbing Gristle influence. If you like throbbing gristle you may (or may not, I don't know) enjoy my style of industrial music.

  • My speaker just fallen on the floor, while I listen to this.

  • fucking excellent

    

  • industrial music got much more complex as time went on thanks to people like trent reznor, but throbbing gristle gets under my skin more than pretty much any band. this is a great track that's also harrowing to listen to.

  • @gpenn2 you say complex. I say polished and for the most part souless :(. I mean did NIN actually SHOCK anyone like throbbing gristle did? Throbbing Gristle even shocked the punks...

  • @Silenceless NIN shocked lots of people when Downward Spiral became popular, but it's likely none of those people were remotely aware of Throbbing Gristle. I think there are more layers to NIN's music but Throbbing Gristle is more unsettling, in general. Both are great groups; they're rather different but I think both of have pushed lots of boundaries musically speaking. Just cause they have cheap imitators doesn't diminish what they've done.

  • @gpenn2 NIN is NOT industrial. It is alternative rock with influences of electronic music.

  • @rivet138 have you really listened to nine inch nails? it's clearly industrial rock. just cause it's not purely industrial doesn't mean it doesn't fall under that category.

  • still got my Marc Almond Flexi...

  • After purchasing the third report by TG I started hunting for their other works but nothing is as good. In fact most of there stuff other than that album is pretty weak. TG doesn't even compare to the second wave of industrial music.

  • hmmm... nice pants

  • the insects shall prevail !!!

  • 8:58 hahahahahah xDDDD

  • うるさい。

  • someone didn't get enough hugs as a kid.

  • I pulled this album out at a acid party once and the reaction of my buds was like "wtf is that, where am I? I need to get out of here!" Priceless.

  • 6:24 Look closely, it's Jello Biafra from Dead Kennedys.

  • @Huaynocore I think it is. Or his clone Gummi Darfur.

  • yo nigguh i put this shit n i go rollin man just rolling around with this dope shit

  • Comment removed

  • Little known fact: the guy at 8:58 is now one of the senior directors of Santander Banking group.

  • @richievegas01 pics or it didn't happen

  • Comment removed

  • I'm so straight that I could kiss him too

  • Wow this kind of stuff really grows on you...

  • Alot of eyeglasses in the audience...our current scientist???????????? hope so

  • Fuck yeah to everyone!

  • thats where electro and industrial came from

  • This really does seem to throw the musical rule book out of the window. Possibly the most fabulously original thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

  • Seizure time!

  • aslyum is the word that comes to mind.....

  • Clearly he NEEDS discipline and for someone to take that mic away from him...

  • @PanicMaiden you need some discipline.

  • ...and they call NIN industrial

  • I CAN`T GET UP!

  • ps: this is punker rockcorock

  • @tuber232rebut nope its industrial 

  • comments include: thanks for the video of my favorite band playing my favorite song and fuck the detractors.

  • Chaos...great.

  • This is NOT PUNK ROCK!!

  • So good.

  • Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny...Frank Zappa

  • people like this should just die

  • I have a cold right now. This is so therapeutic =w=

  • I think without Throbbing Gristle, electronic music wouldn't have gone agressive and noisey. This is the best!!!

  • @2:54 haha i like the expression on that man in da audience

  • who cares if it's noise, it's fucking awesome noise

  • @truthemulator fuck yes its fucking awesome fucking noise as fucking awesome as fucking awesome fucking noise has fucking ever fucking been

  • I'm not constipated anymore...

  • im 12 what is this

  • @hlakeffo 89127p

  • 8:58 : mind=blown

  • Brutal, Beautiful

  • Is it just me or does the first four seconds of the video remind you of those inspirational posters?

  • All of you are, like, slaves to the corporations...and shit!

  • 272 don't know their industrial roots.

  • Isso que é música do absurdo ! Maravilhoso!! hahaha. Que performance? Me caguei de felicidade. Muita arte.

  • the best kátharsis!!!><

  • Fabulous

  • Pretentious.

  • @sirderam1 Yes, because I see these guys plastered everywhere like they were the next U2.

  • MORE FUCKING FILTH AND HORROR

  • nice stuff ^^

  • Omg this is sooo AMAZING. Its first time i listen to this band, one guy send to me like "the most horrible song" but i liked it so much!!!

  • I like the part where everyone is on acid listening to great music. :DD

  • If you don't like it, then fuck off.

    Simple.

  • This guy must have gotten his hands on a bad batch of blotter... just sayin.

  • It's impossible for people to like this as music. Maybe they like it as noise, but this is not music.

  • Comment removed

  • @rikolasdf What you say implies a very narrow minded definition about music. Music is a form of art, and art is the freedom of self-expression. It means it has no rules, no laws, you do it whatever you think would get your point across.

    When a medium is guided by strict rules it ceases being art, and makes the first step to becoming a product. Just because this is harder to consume than, let's say, pop music, you can't just go and say it's not music. Not liking it is personal preference.

  • @MrCl1nt I'm not trying to apply strict rules to the medium of music, but if there are no rules, how can something be considered a part of such a medium? All I'm saying is I feel that, if someone were to write up a list of very loose rules that describe what music is, this would not abide by enough of them to be considered music. I'm not saying you can't like listening to this, but I really don't see how it is music. It is certainly art, but I do not consider it music.

  • @rikolasdf Music is the expression of experience via sound. What differentiates music from noise is that There's intent to express experience behind it. Your claim that this is noise is unfounded.

  • @rikolasdf music is a sound deliberately engineered for conveying a concept.at least that's the way i think of it :)

  • @rikolasdf I would understand if you said that about something like a Nurse With Wound song, but this is pretty rhythmic.

  • paint it any way you want you fucking todd browingh freak show fucks, this is magic mushroom fodder!!!! cunts!!

  • This is awesome.

  • they all look like they're on yellow cake.haha

  • 9:00: classic!

  • This band grew on me. This whole genre is not big on the talent concept. In other words that doesn't make a band good. Also this band it self is out there and not easy to relate too. Especially cause their flow is a bit odd and the mind set of Genesis is nutters, although the whole of the dark 70-80's thing is that way. But they got a song "Don't do as your told do as you think". So at least their not combative to haters like other band and genres, they are open people.

  • Jesus fucking christ this is terrible! And all you fags pretending you like it because its as you so bluntly put it "Its anti-music, its not supposed to sound good" "The more terrible the better!". My 7 year old brother with down syndrome does shit just like this on my casio all the time. [random key smashing/demo beat on keyboard] [Screams gibberish into mic so hard that it crackles]

  • @gorillailla202 someone should give your little brother a record deal

  • @gorillailla202

    So because you don't like the song, you feel the need to not only imply that anyone who likes it is not only a "Fag" but is only pretending to like to be cool, but you also feel the need to exploit the fact that your son has down syndrome to prove your point on the internet.

    Congratulations, you are a piece of shit.

  • @ScrewLimbBizkit Thats some hilarious shit man :D

  • I wuv ooo

  • Anti-music at its finest.
