[necropolian1]

I love the butthole's, I been listen to them for 15 years or so seen them in houston ( lived there for 25 years) seen them live once I was triping on some acid (i'm much to old for that now!!!) that was when I meet Gibby he said "are you alright" I said yea he said " how many are you on" I said 3 he said " I on 8" it was a bad ass show!!!!

[drmondo]

Didn't they do a tour with some kind of performance art piece involving flamethrowing robot dinosaurs?

[PelicanGreed]

the question is...should i drink some cough syrup...and then walk in the desert?

[Furrymeatball]

Makes me want to smash shit! This song always has...

[PelicanGreed]

@Furrymeatball you have a bad ass name... but i must say if i saw you on my kitchen floor i would have to smash you.. nothing would please me more then to smash a fury meatball to this song right now. please dont take offence to that!!!

[Furrymeatball]

@PelicanGreed

Thanks for the kind words there. I wouldn't blame you for smashing me if you found me on your floor. Hell, I'd expect it.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@Furrymeatball i bet this is Meatwads youtube channel haha X]

[IrishEyedBlue]

It would be awesome to see them in concert. This song off one of my favorite albums "Locust Abortion Technician" coming in close second to "Hairway to Steven."

[craigmac303]

Great band. Listened to them since mid 80s and saw them early 90s in melbourne. LAT is a good record but the first time i heard their first ' a brown reason for living ' scared the shit out of me as 15 yr old ie shah sleeps, hey .. . I thought what tha ? and then psychic powerless just went deeper.Their 2 best in my opinion. would love to see them again in melbs.

[ZimZumJohn5]

will they ever tour in germany?

[anonymstuntman]

Pardon me

I'm only bleeding

But you cut me

To the bone

My imperfections

Have reduced you

To a lowly

Animal !

YEAH THAT`S LYRIC!

[Boodwin]

Man! They were so good when I saw em that I thought they were impostors! Used to the old days when we were all on too many drugs....

[shadhunter]

you can never have too many drugs :)

[hawgrider66]

love this song reminds me of tripping for days with not a care in the world

[firebird116]

[Maje9]

[brotzg]

[Merkilo]

[meinLiebsterFeind]

He's operating the effects that make him sound awesome, dumbass

[elugovina]

Locust album is the best and it holds a special part in my collection. These guys are great, this is the core lineup the original, I've been a fan since late eighties and I cant wait to see them in atlanta this year, im counting the days.

[TownBizz1469]

excellent song...

[MrMbie]

such an expresion.......

good stuff nowday rare.....

[ffoeg6]

yess! the original b-holes are here at last!!!!the best in the world.

[projectno5]

i saw butthole surfers in glasgow and ill always remeber it because of the 1st band that opend fpr them... a big fat singer dressed in a latex apron humping the moniters with a pig nose... and 2 fat women from texas trying to eat me

[Didgebaba]

I saw them in 1991 and it was the most profound experience of my life up to that point. Like a bacchanalian cleansing of the deepest recesses of my sick middle class mind.

I named my dog Gibby. Best friend I ever had.

[digitalaether]

I first saw BHS at the Lone Star Amphitheater probably in 1991. I never could have described the experience as well as you just did. You nailed it. I've had the pleasure of seeing them 4 more times, each a good experience.

[MariannabyMillais]

Woah. Cool way of expressing it.

[tracksuitjim]

fuck man, i would love to see them.

and what a fucking cool name for a dog.

[mattiefattie1968]

Sometimes I feel embarrased that I named my only son after Gibby (Gibson), Gibby being someone Ive only shook hands with and seen preform a handfull of times, but then I hear his genius and am quickly comforted.

"Better to regret something you have done...

I hope "our" Gibbys doing well.

[gofindyoursaint]

hahah oh wow. that is awesome??!!

[vicbittertoo]

I;m having a son in a couple of weeks & will probably call him Gibby !!!!!!

Legend !!!!!!!

[FruitCakeReaper]

hes gonna have a tough life from the people who dont get it.... which will be lots ........ but he's probably already born now... soooo ...good luck gibby u'll need it :S

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

@vicbittertoo you better have!

[sweet518]

gibby haynes=LEGEND

[leftovercowboy]

I can't even contain my absolute devotion to this band. My youth was the Butthole Surfers. I heard Independant Worm Saloon at 12 or so and I was done for. And then their backcatalog blew that AWAY! BHS for LIFE!

[motorhead1308]

This song is the fukin shit !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sensoriexpansion69]

gotta love the ol' gibby-tron

[CoyoteTequila]

Thanks for the love! "Cough Syrup" "Space" "Let's Talk About Cars" "From The Cradle To The Grave" "Dessert" and "Pittsburgh To Lebanon" coming soon!

[wonderfuk8]

Please, Let's Talk About Cars.

[ellisdiva]

This is from Locust Abortion Technician, not ELL.

[zippywaite]

haha i know man. i was stoned and excited.

i have both albums and more. just made a mistake. chill out.

[SALIMGUY]

@CoyoteTequila Can't wait for Cough Syrup and Desert!

[pussycontin]

man the butthole surfers are so fucking awesome. there is nothing that sounds like them or ever will. original mother fucking mind blowing LSD induced music. classic!

[Tsun420]

I'm seeing them live in a few hours at voodoo, its gonna be epic

[stanivonzinn]

Maybe update the description? They're like, touring again and stuff. I'm seeing them this monday-week. Totally jazzed; hope they play Push th' Little Daisies.

[halation777]

Well, they still sound psychotic live. And that's a good thing.

[p97154]

Splendid

[rickman125]

Why this video is great.

1. It's the Butthole Surfers.

2. Great song.

3. The drummer with the Mickey Mouse Ears.

4. The caveman blowing up in the video.

5. Gibby is God.

[pbfinawesome]

[Baldpoodle]

[pressgangers]

YOU SAY NEXT TO LAST CONCERT, well they are back,Not only are they back But jeffs on bass and Teresa is back double drumming with king. Ok so also they have a school of rock style kid band with them, But fucking hell i dont care its the BUTTHOLE SURFERS

[mentalrevenge]

I'll second that emotion - any butthole is better than no butthole

[fishlipsmcgee]

fLIckin awsome! totally one of their best numbers.

[degaulle30]

Man I'd love to see them, but more when they were in their indie time, early to mid-eighties.

[room1106]

i saw them 3 times ...and each time was just jaw-dropping. so indescribably great...

[RatatRatR]

fuckin' a... one of their best songs

[nickpickering]

Capital A.

Nothing else comes close.

[rendertank]

what happened to Theresa ? She looks manly. Haha! Dude is rocking her hair style !!! Who is that ??

They are still the best band ever. Sorry, all you other bands...you suck.

[arnoeyeis]

Theresa got booted years ago.........Gibby & the Surfers Rule!!

[dirtdrifters]

At least the Teresa-replacement is paying her homage.Where are all of the bootleg live show videos ?? They must be out there. OK people start digitizing your VHS footage you shot of them back in the day...

(I'm thinking about the unreal show at The Brooklyn Academy of Music and then The Globe in NYC around Halloween, The Lyric NYC,etc. Mid to late 80's ???) I really hope someone was taping. Thanks.

[arnoeyeis]

I have that Blind Eye Sees All vid..........It was on the market years ago! Plus seen them 10 times live. Also they just picked up that last drummer at the end. King Coffey was going solo for awhile after she left.

[chimphater]

You mean The World in NYC.....I was at all of the shows you mention. L......S......D......

By the way, where exactly was The World located? I know it was East Village, but my memory isn't any more specific than that. That was a crazy place.

[dirtdrifters]

Yeah the WORLD !! What a trip. At the end of the show someone gets on the mic and they are like "Hey, everybody we are having a riot over on Avenue C at the blah blah blah squat. Please come show your support and throw bottles at the cops." It was total anarchy when the surfers dropped their vibe into your city. Jah Bless them. I think the BAM show was the most high-brow moment for them. It was sublime.

[chimphater]

Yeah, especially with the World Saxophone Quartet w/African drummers opening the show in that beautiful opera house -- and old guys in tweed jackets in the audience. A crazy, crazy night.

[techsinatra]

BAM was.

[techsinatra]

BAM is.

[techsinatra]

BAM will come again.

[techsinatra]

there was the naked room at the world. everyone was naked and it was dark so when you felt around for the light switch or when you went to put your cigarette out, you understand.

[LAYG0]

Teresa (NO H!) was not booted. She left the band in 1989 because of health problems most likely related to strobe lights. There's a story that goes something like: Teresa was at a neurologist & he's asking her if she's had any exposure to flashing lights & she replies "Doc, you've got no idea".

I do not know the exact neurological condition, but their new shows are markedly light on the strobes with her drumming again. Teresa is drumming again with the Surfers!!! O M G ! And Pinkus is back!

[thoriated]

Rumor I heard is that she began having epileptic seizures. Doc asked if she was exposed to flashing or flickering lights. "You have no idea!"

[LAYG0]

Crap! Beat me to it!

[LAYG0]

The 2nd drummer in this vid of the show I attended is Jason Morales. Guitarist of "Tia Carrera" in Austin.

He's not wearing mickey ears, that's his hair up in 2 buns.

[vicbittertoo]

go Gibby, fucken awesome !!!

[Baldpoodle]

fucking top banana

[arnoeyeis]

Killer tune thanx for the vid. Rock out Surfers!!!!!!!!!!

[erwinhambrouck]

[ropermarc]

I think I permanently damaged my ears during Butthole surfer show at the I-Beam.

[DJINEVIL2323]

I was at that show. They shoulda never closed that place. I saw the 91 Warfield show with redd cross. that was awesome!!

[essay87]

these Buttholes will always rule

[bestkepsecret]

I don't know why but I just love this song

[kaddapatton]

awesome video....

[rickman125]

what a great live performance.

[ti112200]

This isn't the best performance by a long way, but Human Cannonball is one of the best songs ever written. Buy Locust Abotion Technician if you don't already have it.

[LAYG0]

This footage is comprised of 2 shows: 2002 Fitzgeralds Houston & 2002 Emo's Austin.

Those 2002 shows were a flashback to their '80s shows & I rank them among the best of the 20 or so BHS shows I've seen!
