Controlled Bleeding 1138

[CrippledBull1]

Anybody know the origin of THX-1138-WITHOUT LOOKING IT UP ???

It was Lucas' ph. number in San Fran,CA (849-1138);and also appeared in "American Graffiti" as John Milner's license plate number THX-138.

This is the kind of random trivia that clogs the brain of people 48 as of 2 days ago.

[skyler8082012]

this video is the shiznit :-)

[tachyonblade]

Fucking awesome! This is the song I wished they had played at my high school graduation! I bought this record around that time and I thought it would be good BGM for a graduation ceremony but I love the THX 1138 video version too.

[brealistic1970]

Awesome video song match-up. This made my day. :-)

[def0rm0]

I love this song, and this video...just fits perfectly.

[Piggy2bacon]

holy fuck, Paul Lemos is my english teacher...

hes awesome

[zzGRENDELzz]

@Piggy2bacon -  on long island?? Trippy

[aphonik23]

@Piggy2bacon I've always wondered what it would be like to have Lemos as a teacher. You should tell him that this song is a classic and ask him to please give you the lyrics, because I've listened to it about 1,000 times and can't quite decipher them all.

[Deeh222]

Controlled Bleeding is always kick ass, but this is by far their best song. They never topped it IMO. Great melodies and choruses.

[mobius1aic]

Favorited this over two years ago and still listen on a regular basis. This song sure has staying power!

[exodus1334]

Someone please upload Tormentor's Song!

[amishhitman]

I remember first hearing this from Wxx Trax . Oh they days of good industrial

[geekengineer]

I busted out my Wax Trax! best-of compilation "Black Box" 3-CD set and played this track like 10 times.

If you don't have the Black Box, I highly recommend you get it.

[amishhitman]

@geekengineer Big 10-4 I was lucky enough to get 2 of the limited metal ones that came with a patch/poster etc and unspooled unreleased material on the bottom.

[geekengineer]

Metal ones?!?

Dammit...

I must peruse eBay and Amazon...

[johnny13stp]

controlled bleeding is beyond words

[peatla]

For all Controlled Bleeding fans, Joe Papa, the person doing the vocals for this song, died in November 2009. Joe was a great guy, awesome vocalist, and a true artist! RIP Joe!

[toolkills]

hahaha paul lemos is a friend of mine...he was my english teacher in highschool and we have recently connected again within the music scene....the mans a genius in more ways than one

[saintettienne]

that is one stupid cop!

[mobius1aic]

Nice to see this video still going strong with continued recognition!

[goytabr]

I bought it from Amazon. Actually it came from one of their smaller affiliates (through Amazon Marketplace), but the CD was brand new. Amazon Marketplace has many niche sellers with some incredible rarities, including special pressings (Japanese, gold MFSL editions, etc.), used out-of-catalog titles and the like.

[goytabr]

Except that the film is from1971, 7 years before Controlled Bleeding was founded and 19 years before the "Trudge" album was recorded...

But I agree, it fits the video like a glove. And when I saw this video for the first time, over a year ago, it made me order both the "Trudge" CD (I had to import it!) and the film's DVD (fortunately, I could find a domestic edition). And YouTube and the media labels still get freaky about copyright issues...

[HELLSPAWN1973]

Boring...just a bad 242-replicant with Gahan like vocals!

[MaximusTheHeretek]

Dood,

you have no idea of how awesome and creative Controlled Bleeding actually was.

[HELLSPAWN1973]

Maybe, but not in this Song ;)

[ScottfromTexas]

I was watching the DVD with commentary and as I recall they said when the crew saw the wipeout at 6:00 here everyone gasped and though the stuntman had to have died. They spoiled the shot by running to his aid and the stuntman was a little miffed. I think they used the shot just edited out the part where people rushed on the set.

[InnocentzRaptor]

Why must amazing things like Controlled Bleeding be so underrated? God they're awesome.

[RaymondNoodles]

agreed

[ConnaughtVaughan]

this music doesn't fit movie....

[mobius1aic]

Who cares, it's one of only a few ( I think currently 4?) Controlled Bleeding songs on Youtube.

[ConnaughtVaughan]

Never heard of em...they sound wishy-washy to me.....!

[InfinityDose]

sure it does, i've driven maniacally like robert duvall so many times listening to this track...

[moparmonster1965]

You're right, but it might fit Blade Runner better.

[goytabr]

What? And get rid of that awesome Vangelis soundtrack? I'm into many styles, and just as I thought this song fit this video perfectly, I can't imagine anything better to fit "Blade Runner" than what Vangelis did for it.

[moparmonster1965]

No, I meant for a fan video. The Vangelis soundtrack was very fitting and was written specifically to the movie, composed as he watched it.

[WingedDiskRecords]

For more Controlled Bleeding, check out the "Bees (Parts 1 - 6)" video on YouTube and the band's website.

[saintettienne]

I. want. that. car!

[d3vilmak3r]

hey, JoeyDatona- GREAT work

[JoeyDaytona]

thanx

[d3vilmak3r]

Awesomeness, great band

[d3vilmak3r]

sorry Daytona

[mavericdragon]

Oh yeah off Wax Trax's Black Box from the 90's . Love this song. Didn't know there was a conx to THX 1138. Interesting...

[JoeyDaytona]

Around 5 years ago I combined the song and the video clip for a video projection at an art gallery ordeal in Boston...

[mobius1aic]

And thank you for posting on Youtube so I and so many others could discover Controlled Bleeding!

[moparmonster1965]

If you like industrial, look up Punture "Gag Rule." They sound a lot like The Mind is a Terrible Thing-era Ministry.

[fhishgomoo]

What/who was that guy with the long hair and a beard at the end of the film? He was sitting on some pipes as THX1138 was running by. Before the two officers showed up at the end.

[JoeyDaytona]

They refer to them as 'shell dwellers', midgets that live in the outer shell, one is also held in the white wall-less prison earlier on in the movie. They seem to be genetic mutants or cast-offs, also proto-Jawas I suppose, Lucas seems to like those characters - the little people.

[fhishgomoo]

Thanks!

[jeff47674]

These are the words of the dying:

Red and white in time of silence

Soul on fire, forgotten blitzkrieg

Time repeating

Times are grating

Life in waiting

Times are changing

Changing tonight...

[rs10100]

wow perfect!! je

[meyerkidd]

I am an old friend of Chris Moriarity RIP!

[loveunderlaw]

Excellent!

[GasmaskAvenger]

One side of Controlled Bleeding

The other is very aggressive, atonal & very, very noisy

Both are pretty good

[peatla]

Controlled Bleeding were an excellent bad. I don't know if any of you old fans know but original member Chris Moriarty died in March 2008. RIP Chris!

[fadgadgets]

damn, i didnt know.

[NYver4get]

I remember seeing what i think was some of C.B.'s earliest live gigs at the infamous "Blind Pig" in Massapequa. You had to knock into the quitar player to get past him to take a leak. They had a song called..."Someone shit on my birthdaycake."It might have been in the junk box as well.  "Blind Pig" also hosted the "Tomcats" who evolved into the Stray Cats with a different, and may I say, .. less talented lineup.

[webdomaindesign]

Great music. I was searching for the THX chase scene and this music fits it VERY well. I loved the music in the genre of a Depeche Mode type band. Excellent music and a cool choice of footage. This was a great find!

[mobius1aic]

Same way I fell upon it hahaha.

[catchthebre3ze]

i love finding music from bands ive never heard of before and controlled bleeding are fucking class

they remind me of depeche mode abit when depeche mode were like gothic electro

[JDanielson86]

ehm...I'm not quite feelin the video, but much respect to you for knowing who Controlled Bleeding are, and appreciating this song!

[pw3uk]

Although the soundtrack fits well with the audio (great job on that!), I personally think this is far below CB's better stuff. For me, the Lungs tracks & Headcrack sessions were fantastic.

[FollowTheRedTeam242]

I still keep coming back to watch this video ... the Controlled Bleeding track laid over the THX-1138 final escape scene works just so well. I mean it just meshes with the urgency of THX's effort to run the gauntlet and get out of the clone like atmosphere of the sub level society. Fookin great vid.

[alienboy889]

CONTROLLED BLEEDING is on MySpace!

[maciejoooooooooooooo]

the question is-who is not on my space?

[gypsymoonrainbow]

One of my fave songs EVER! New Wave club staple back in the day. Thought I'd never see the video for this again. Thanks so much for sharing!

[MekanikalVoid]

Im either very lucky or a huge loser for finding Controlled Bleeding. Not to mention the very conservative place i live. The Rio Grande Valley. it sucks. i was more people would listen to it down here. Good video.

[BeloitMotto]

I Agree!! some realy good memories!! Controlled Bleeding was an amazing Band...^^

and yes a great Video too...

[E23R0]

i love this song..thank you for sharing!

[Djkickback]

Wow this song bought back some memories, looks really good with the vid too. If you guys like this song also check out skin chamber, it's alot heavier and raw though compared to this tune. I used to live a couple of towns over from these guys on long island. They have alot of material out there, all pretty much good stuff, some a lil different though....

[moparmonster1965]

I like their more aggressive stuff like Penetration. I think this is kind of weak.

[ndevil777]

i love c.b.

[mobius1aic]

Damn the video sequencing and song play out and match so well.  Holy damn its good.

[watts242]

I agree ... I just wish that the first few seconds of the static at the start up of this video were either corrected or chopped off. I'd like to see it start when the music starts.

[JoeyDaytona]

Wow, talk about a case of perfectionist fallacy, make your own videos!

[SUBSPINE]

Sorry Joey ... just chalk it up to my OCD. I've got an eye for detail and perfectionism. Wasn't trying to knock your video or the brilliant merging of the Controlled Bleeding track with this scene from THX-1138. (SUBSPINE - formerly watts242)

[JoeyDaytona]

Cool... my F'd up "aesthetic" is really liberating, if not hack-ish, I used to spend WAY too much time in claustrophic editing suites and just gave up trying to make vids perfect! (.)(.)

[watts242]

I think what really blows me away on this video, is that the stuntman who does the final motorcycle crash at the end of this video walked away unscathed. No injuries.  Incredible ... and here I thought that it was a test dummy. Info comes from the commentary on the two disc set.

[mobius1aic]

Damn I've watched this video so many times, and I still love it.

[watts242]

mobius1aic ... Heh heh heh ... I know what you mean. I've come back time and time again to watch this video. Finally went out and purchased the 2-disc Director's Cut of THX 1138 because of it.

[JoeyDaytona]

I must say, when my friend in upstate NY got the cassette tape of Controlled Bleeding it was VERY different from anything we had heard up until then.

Here is the webpage I found last year... belmarnj . com /cb/

[Serpentdivine]

I miss this era.

[jsprev]

Well done.

[industreal]

Tell me more.

[watts242]

Wax Trax! Records was located at 2449 North Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The building was once a funeral parlor and was the site of where the gangster John Dillinger was taken after he was shot dead by Chicago Police as he was leaving the Biograph Theater (which is about maybe less than 25 meters south of Wax Trax!

[watts242]

industreal ... do a search on wikipedia for Wax Trax! in addition to punching in 2449 North Lincoln Avenue as a Google Advanced Search in the "Find Results" section using the "With All The Words". When the results pop up, select the first one at the top ... it should read DePaul University Libraries : Item Viewer. Select this link and a picture of the 2nd floor of Wax Trax! will show up with a little bio on the building.

[watts242]

As far as I remember, the original paint scheme was a olive green instead of the white color. The place has a lot of history to it and as I previously mentioned, was the "ground zero" point for heavy industrial music in the United States. I remember Front 242, Einsturzende Neubauten, TKK, KMFDM, Meat Beat Manifesto, Laibach, Frontline Assembly, The Young Gods, etc. passing through those doors.

[industreal]

Your effort is appreciated. .. Now tell me about the Canadian side of it - if you will.

[watts242]

There really is no Canadian side of Wax Trax! as far as I can recall ... other than band members who may have originated from Canada / British Columbia. I think that Bill Leeb of Frontline Assembly is from the Vancouver / B.C. area. I know that the members of Skinny Puppy (mainly Nivek) were frequent visitors to Chicago.

[industreal]

Do you remember Manufacture?

[watts242]

Yes ... but I was never really into them. I've just recently seen some vids of theirs here on YouTube, and I have to admit, I rather enjoyed them. :)

[watts242]

I really liked the video "Armed Forces" by Manufacture (via Nettwerk).

[industreal]

Good!

[industreal]

Bring WAX-TRAX BACK!

[watts242]

I agree with you Industreal ... I used to work at Wax Trax! Records back in 1991. Chicago, Illinois was the hub of Industrial Music and EBM back then. Great music came out of there from the mid 1980's to approximately 1991.  Front 242, Laibach, etc.

[mobius1aic]

Dude this song paired with this video......is AMAZING! I really need to look into these Controlled Bleeding guys, really great song!

[watts242]

mobius1aic,

Go to the following website "Discogs" (discogs dot com) as they will not allow me to post a URL here on YouTube, and enter "Controlled Bleeding" as the artist name in the Search Box at the top of the page. You'll get a match back for it with two results. Choose either one to learn more about this group. Enjoy! watts242

[Serpentdivine]

I remember the great album 'Songs from the Grinding Wall'.

[thedaneurysm]

The song is actually called "words of the dying"

[watts242]

Whoops! My bad ... sorry about that. And this coming from a guy who worked at Wax Trax! Records in Chicago back in 1991. Listened to Front 242 more so than Controlled Bleeding. I do remember them playing this a lot in the store on Lincoln Avenue though. :)

[watts242]

Nice job on pairing the chase scene from THX 1138 to Controlled Bleeding's "Trudge" ... works quite well. Adds an "urgent" or "anxious" feel to this scene. Thanks for pairing them together. Take care.
