XTC Scissor Man

[BillMinworth]

Inspired by a real piece of victorian art! the BBC peel session is better, hats off to primus for their version!

[AscoliChaChaCha]

Ah this song. Working at the Deptford Mall in 1978. Was it XTC, Ramones, Elvis C. or the Buzzcocks??? What to play first.???? Hmmmm.

[HeadNotic]

this song is about der struulpeter



[Benjabola]

Opinions are like A holes. Everyone has one.

[fuccuco]

NANANANAOOOOOO NANANA

[aJazzcat]

much as i appreciate and adore primus, i like this version better

[fuckamericanidiot]

what's to prefer about the primus version? someone tell me

[MjXllcommando]

@fuckamericanidiot no idea. Primus didnt really add anything to it, they covered the song well but didnt alter it in anyway, the original is far better. And i like Primus btw.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@MjXllcommando i like some primus but it's on this cover and making plans you can hear how feeble his voice is; this is so much more fun

[MjXllcommando]

@fuckamericanidiot yep. XTC without andy partrage doesnt sound the same. How hard is this song to learn on guitar? i really want to learn it.

[matt47forTED]

@MjXllcommando i feel like its pretty much the same, neither one being way better than the other.

[SorrowfulMystery]

My favorite XTC album.

[bustindustin01]

Wow, somebody thought this was a Primus original? Considering the Primus album Rhinoplasty is a collection of all covers, stumps me why someone would think that.

[lottavernix]

@bustindustin01 that also perplexes me

[AtGiza]

@bustindustin01 Everyone makes mistakes. Like you, you probably meant Miscellaneous Debris instead of Rhinoplasty.

[VincentPrice111]

@bustindustin01 No idea. All I know is this. Primus does it better.

[ToastedWafflez]

Don't cry Jennifer....

[misterfattanza]

GRAN PEZZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[goonsquid]

Love it when XTC do dub....

[4nom4ly]

Just try to not be physically affected by this song. Just try. Resistance is futile.

"...Snipping, snipping, snipping goes the scissor man,

Putting end to evil doers games..."

[MrSAKMK]

@4nom4ly How can you be physically affected by something?

[brettnekroman]

Primus' version is a cover. XTC did it originally.

[mormodaimon]

NOT XTC. WTF???? THIS IS PRIMUS!!!

[primussucks]

@mormodaimon erm no. it's xtc. primus did a fine cover tho

[mormodaimon]

@primussucks

realized it shortly after I posted that comment. :P

[joakoPRIMUS]

@mormodaimon Look this song is from 1979 and its originally by XTC. Primus recorded the cover in the 90s in the album Miscellanious Debris.
