  • This is probably as close as you can get to experiencing an authentic Pagan Dionysian ritual.

  • @bobbyrosko I drew that same parallel myself.

  • They must have got heckled so much.

  • fuck i STILL love this video

  • damn I love this song! x)

  • funny how they are the founders of industrial and still nobody who followed even comes close to how extreme they were

  • Early WMUC-88.1 College Park, Maryland...thanks for this noise, Im not 'NorMal' and StiLL HatE corporate america. };-]

  • i really like this song, idk why

  • @RareMusik I think it's because you need some discipline.

  • Wow I want some of whatever the guy at 8:58 was on.

  • @Bouchon211

    I want what Genesis was on.

  • I want some discipline too.

  • 2:50 Nardwuar?

  • yeah now this is really gritty industrial. Trent likes to dance to a beat too much like a normal person. Nah, I'm just kiddin' Reznor. I like disco beats too. In the 70s I would have fit in NOWHERE. You can't like disco AND rock n roll AND experimental AND punk! FUCK YOU BITCH I DO WAT I WANT

  • MY BRAAAAAIN!!

    IT BURNS!

  • 292 idiots need some discipline!!

  • genesis is now a cool grandma.

  • it bears mentioning that this was (before their reunion) their last song at their last gig ever.

  • wtf

  • It's easy to make good-sounding music. What's hard is having enough intensity and raw experimentation to make bad-sounding music a work of art.

  • @Xabylon throbbing gristle wernt actually trying to make "music" at all in a sense.

    they were as far as "musical" aspiration went, breaking away from the tired old rock/rythm and blues based scenario, but more importnatly, were applying their ritualistic and majikal knowlegde to public performace, that particualr generation saw the punk thing being used as a catalyst for experimenting with shamanic and ritual magick. and the throbbies certianly did a perfect job of that, and with PTV

  • A Divine noise!

  • 292 people prefer Nickleback

  • wow thats bad.

    

  • @jeffboyardee well, its called "experimental" music for a reason, its not for everyone

  • @hellchild65 this music is the world after 2012 its amazing

  • I went to a boot camp recently and before graduation I played this song to the other trainees. They all thought my taste in music was retarded. :)

  • @AgonizedCandle brilliant! priceless comment!

  • @gnowave Haha thanks for the acknowledgement

  • 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.

  • @spunkets gen aint gay buddy.... true, well off background, but his rebellion was genuine and sincere. he just wasnt into pop, but wanted to do something with noise anyway. like or hate, dosnt matter.

  • @gnowave

    If it, "doesn't matter," why comment?

  • @spunkets kinda missing my point. they were performing magick ritual, it wasnt music, so am trying to say liking or hating it musically, didnt matter, it wasnt working on that level, it was more like a re-awakening, genuinly, of primal forces, breaking away from "rock" forms and letting the inner tribal person be free again. a bit of a shamanic exorcism so to speak, & sincere, reminding us of who we were/are. great work i say, as long as you dont expect a rock gig. kno wot i mean?

  • @gnowave

    "Magick ritual?"

    Most of us don't video tape ourselves having an ecstatic experience during a really satisfying bowl movement. Its 'ecstatic' in no small degree b/c its NOT shared, viz., private.

    This may, however, become acceptable as youtube evolves.

    Musically? You're correct. Music for TG was a secondary consideration. And maybe this is why they suck (in a good way).

  • @spunkets you never noticed that much PTV and TG was derived from and the acting out of "exocisms" and unabashed magickal ceremony? cheesh! lol, many of the TG community were heavily into kabalik rythm-magick, and gematria etc. and "volitional picture spinning based on gematria and goetia. they did have a rather amateur suck edge yeh! ha ha, but the energy is very very good, powerful breakthru from that other world.

  • 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.

  • @KickDownDoors its not a mucial perfomance at all! they wernt a "rock" act, or a "rock n roll" act, etc, they were performing magick ritual and had no need whatso ever to follow rock convention, and wernt performing for a rock croud. back then many anarcho folk growing up from a punk bacground got into shamanix and TG accomodated this as it was what they were into themselves. not for everyone one, but they wernt playing for everyone. they didnt play music, they played rituals.

  • 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.

  • @christophebassett he's not trying to act scary. having attended throbbing gristle and early PTV rituals, he was pretty much off his face on LSD/MDMA and on a shaman trip, trying to break thru modernity, and trigger a psychick (magickal/shamanic/psychedelic­) response. pretty cool wqhen it works, and especially if u are there in that envirnment when its happening. rock folk just wont get it

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

  • @dhaeze dont forget early butthole surfers, and foetus who were also into psychedelic full on unfettered ritual and excorcisms from modern society too. and on the humorous side of it, bongwater, and shockabilly (shimmy discrecords, and shimmy2)

  • 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. :)

  • @JaackPat ithink all the nickleback commenters were being ironic, and taking the piss. as nickleback are tame safe rock dudes, safely smoking pot.

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur what a brillaint way to put it mate!

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur how the bloody fuck can you compare the two. Don;t get me wrong, I'm no Nickleback fan, heck I live in a city with a radio station of a "no nickleback guarantee". So why compare the two

  • @ASDMarauder007 haha. chill out bro. im just messing around. Your looking way too much into my comment. im just being stupid and making fun of nickleback. you know if you play a nickleback song backwards you hear a satanic message... or even worse, if you play if forwards, you hear nickelback.

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur These never get old. :)

  • @bencheshire the comments or the vids? haha

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur what an unnescesary comment. most things are

  • @Osthropek did you not read my comment? for people that listen to such an open minded, free style of music... some of you are really uptight and kind of douchey.

  • @GarrettIsTheDinosaur that was my drunken way of being really funny

  • @Osthropek oh. hahaha. no further explanation needed.

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

  • @JanitorPride2 indrustial (except piss like kraftwekr who were just nerds) acts tended towards trival shamanism, and were trying to find a way to express the primal within thru use of things around in the here and now.

    later, metal bnds tried to bandwagon it, as with goth, but as ever always get the wrong end of the stick, and it becomes simply "bad" "evil" "satanic" spoiled middle class brattitudes. but yeh, choas magick was part of it, as was shamanism.

  • @gnowave What? Since when were Kraftwerk industrial :S and I like Kraftwerk, they had a HUGE influence on the electronic scene. They were anything but "piss", and they were more like progsters then nerds.

  • @JanitorPride2 am not joking, kraftwerk not only keep getting credited for house/techno/trance, but also industrial. the usual music magazine wakners as usual , they were more like NERDS than nerds. progsters WERE nerds, or hadnt you noticed? prog gigs were full of transpottery nerdy guys and no girls. though, thats got nothing to do with how good or bad a band is at their particular game.

  • @gnowave I dont agree, sounds rather judgemental but thats just an opinion. At least these days id rather industrial sounded more like this, instead of stuff like MM or NIN, who's supposadly industrial rock or something, which im kinda over.

  • @JanitorPride2 is Psy-Trance a subgenre of industrial?

  • @gnowave I agree. I think joy division are have also a large part in the formation of industrial sound. I think :/

  • Musical chaos, love it! I

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

  • @JanitorPride2 yeh good point about the einsturzendes. loved the track they contributed to the "smack my crack" compilation. total psychedelic ritualistic. (nothing to do with hippies) a 1982 butthole surfers track made it on there too! WOW! still about the best track they ever did about a dark LSD dream sequence, called "boiled dove".

  • @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.

  • @lelliesandremains

    Since your comment is now irrelevant, according to your own standards, its a miracle you came back to share your recycled opinion.

  • 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.

  • @Socioistic anyone who dosnt like it so much shudnt be wastint their time bothering to put so much energy into what they hate! your not happy in life are you matey? go figure....

  • @Socioistic throbbing gristle WERN'NT A ROCK BAND! why cant metal fans get that? the first wave of industrial stuff were folk into ritual magick who made noise to accompany that. it just cant be compared to rock formatting as it isnt, and wont stand up to it, because its NOT ROCK. and isnt even music in the ense that most folk think of. its just ritual, for folk wether thru psychedelics or not who did magick and /or shamanism

  • @Socioistic i think you think industrial refers to either that limp kraftwerk genre, or NIN. both of which were formatted for the pop and rock scenes. throbbing gristle dont stand up when compared to either, because they were niether. they were performing magick ritual.

  • @Socioistic eh, actually, throbbing gristle WERE the first industrial band, they not only coined the term, but their label was also called "industrial records". there were around 50 big selling altenative bands of the 80s directly inspired by TG rituals

  • 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

  • @Muszynianka2 ironaically, they werny bout the filth, but like white noise, and velvet underground before them, they knew that most squares and rock folk would project their own "filth" into what they were doing.. born again christian have that "projection" problem too.....go figure....

  • 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.

  • @Cidantis yeh, generally becuase some were really tripping out on the very good acid available then, and letting stuff form in their minds. and others who werwe just there to say they had been their to be cool, who didnt know what was hitting them.

  • 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?

  • @knppl it would be 1981

  • 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 you dont get it... they WERNY WRITING SONGS! they were free improvising, and performing ritual magick. comparing these guys to rock or pop formats dosnt hold up as they wernt doing that!

  • @JamesManes fair pint. and as far as the tenuously musical side of TG went, they could be compared with both skiffle bands of the 50s, and african tribesmen using what was around them to create noise, albiet here with TG a in ritualistic form.

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

  • @MrGutley they wernt a rock or pop band, and "experimental" here didnt mean experimenting with sound or noise in the sense it usually means, but they were doing ritual magick. your general pop or rock fan wont get that.

  • 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

  • @DarkOrlanD LSD ritual

  • 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.

  • @khoroshoorange i think you are right, and a relevant pijt to make on a TG comment page, there is a building wave against the narrowing confines of capitalistic life, and folk getting fed up with good waves of movement being hoodwiked back into the "fold".

  • @gohan11223344 totally bang on. shoes and shopping and just like american spoilt brat teen movies... and girls with arthur scargill (google images) hairdos, that is, hairdo's with big over-sweeps like what baldy old men have to hide baldness. emo bands just look and sound gay.

  • 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?

  • @spicyMcHAGGIS9green america had hardcore punk and england had industrial? howmold are you? hardcore punk WAS english, and through bands like the dead kenedys was bnrought to attention in the US. though punk is the only genre you could possibly almost be able to compare TG to i suppose. the diference being even hardcore punk acts compose fully formatted traditionally written songs, where as TG improvize predominantly.

  • @gnowave Howmold am I? I'm not very moldy. I'd say I'm pretty ripe.

  • 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 yeh, but NIN like all rock/metal bands are stuck with one single narrow format - METAL. and dont really encourage anything but midddle class thinking they are rebelks simply by being depresed, dressing in black, and cutting themselves, or getting drunk and maybe addicted to something.... however, it would have been nice to have heard more NIN/reznor techno mixes being done rather than metal sludge.

  • @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.
