Haha, they got ABC to show titties. I love the Goat cover.

Please ABCNews, continue this awesome series, nobody documents or pays any mind to the great bands of the 80's and 90's that laid the ground floor for most of the "alt/indie" music that exists today.

"I watched a video, just now, of you, in 1994 get hit in the head by a bottle....bottle breaks, you go down, and then i counted within 3 minutes..fewer than 3 minutes..the song had started again and you were singing again."

-"Unbelievable!"

I live in LA, and of all the celebrities that I've spotted, nothing will compare with seeing David Yow on the treadmill at the Hollywood Y.

Mac is one of the greats...I have played drums for 30 yrs..he's the closest I've heard to a Bonham..even more the grohl.

Jesus Lizard were quite simply the greatest band of the 90's - and yes that fuckin' includes Nirvana. Please don't compare Cobain with Yow or Jesus Lizard with any other band, I mean My Bloody Valentine??????

I met the band backstage in Newcastle circa 1991 and Yow told me to fuck off when I asked him a fuckin' stupid question; the man is a twisted genius and the Lizard expanded the boundaries of punk rock at a time when the genre was stale.

i met david yow after a gig in chapel hill, nc. he gave me a beer and thanked me for coming. he is actually very kind and of course hilarious! :]

I wouldn't say they were the loudest band,My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr,would claim that title,but The Jesus Lizard were just manic and chaotic,and their live shows were revelations,I saw them Lollapalooza at the Fiddlers Green Ampitheatre(now Comfort Dental Ampitheatre) in Englewood,Colorado,I believe it was '95 and they blew everyone else on the bill away,but most of the people there at the show could of cared less or were absolutely horrified,it was fucking great!!!

Bit of a silly interview, okay. Funny that the image of insane people needs to be stressed. As anyone can see these are pretty nice intelligent people, and fucking great musicians. And they were one of the bst live bands for sure.

not entirely accurate, a bit overblown, no mention of Chicago at all. brilliantly mediocre from ABC. Mac did not make any boating/canoe references.

dont get me wrong the jesus lizard is great, but the interviewer really milks it. i mean, "the craziest frontman of all time," "the greatest live band of all time" "nirvana's favorite band period" "the loudest rock band ever to be heard" i think hes really going out of his way to kiss their ass.

@overrated556: I agree. But, on the other hand, in the realm of mainstream TV interviews, it's cool that he seems to have even an ever-so-slight grasp on the history of the band. As for the loudest rock band ever to be heard comment, he's obviously never heard My Bloody Valentine. :)
