@8DaddyThe The song is about television, the electric messiah, an AC/DC god that everyone sits down before and worships with mindless devotion, while they are just manipulating you, that is all that they are doing. Mostly into becoming dumber and buying more junk and medications and buying into propaganda (I'm looking at you Faux News..)
@mojomike I'd go broader to suggest it's about man in general who possesses an electrical body system and about anyone who attains a position of power to an audience(hearers)and develops a blase or preference based attitude that 'Everyone uses everyone' trading sympathy in a most base way. We should be wary inside and out.
this song was when i was lost but when i got my life back this song made me sick to my stomach this song was in another life i thank God he forgives but i had to lsten to this song straight to understand how the devil wks 24.7 i thank you for shareing this so i could just see how lost i once was but i you beleive JESUS FORGIVES i am living proof of it
@otterboi26 i hear people say that...but from what i understand Buzz wrote pretty much everything...Thomas Thorn was just a touring keyboardist...and he cant be that good cause EHC is terrible...and also most of that stuff was written by Shane Lassen
@skrapyard444 oh have no doubt he didn't write much, if any, of their music. But the day he left and took his satanic views with him, they started their whole disco sex music thing, which sucked. I myself love EHC but it's not for everyone. Regardless this is such a great song.
@otterboi26 he REALLY didnt have that much influence on them at all...the satanic stuff was their idea and it was just them goofing off and using it for artistic purposes, dont believe me just check out the Final Blindness video, so even after he left it was still there..
@glueconcern no its THE ac/dc god. it comes from an old peter otoole movie where he is crazy and thinks he's jesus after his father's death. the shrink brings this guy in that can throw electricity and who claims to be god himself so that otoole stops thinking he is almighty. weird movie, great song
MLWTKK and KMFDM both came from Wax Trax records. That also includes PIG, Front 242, Meat Beat Manifesto, Sister Machine Gun, the KLF, and to a degree Ministry and Revolting Cocks
this video makes me think of so many things at once. I think I was 8 or 9 when i first saw this on my brothers VHS of a collection of Industrial videos.
I saw TKK live with ministry and hanzel und gretyl and it was one of the best shows I have ever been too!!! It is a privilege to see TKK live, if you're not bopping then you are deaf or have no soul.
They've mastered the art of sampling with pure originality..like a musical collage...very few groups have been able to do this and maintain a degree of originality..and the videos match that, visually.....it is delightfully evil!
I heard this song in my boyfriend's car recently. We both thought the lyrics said something about a two headed jesus and now we want to market a double-ended dildo called two headed jesus, haha.
You have no class. If you don't like it you can at least take the time to validate your juvenille industrial elitist opinions with a better argument then "... cuz this sucks!!!". Or just not say anything. KMFDM are not bad, but give me MLWTKK anyday.
It seems that whenever people reminisce about Industrial music TKK are completely forgotten,they are no less Industrial than:NIN,KMFDM,Skinny Puppy,Front Line Assembly,Nitzer Ebb,or BauHaus. Perhaps more dance oriented and ironic,however,no less Industrial. Awesome song,certain classic.
I remember people used to think I was satanic for listening to this song... What Ever.... I just thought it had a good beat, and you could dance to it...
"AC/DC" (GOD) = After Christ/Devil Comes! I think that happened a LONG, LONG time ago, this song is definitely a contender for the second coming in my book! AWESOME band, AWESOME song, and a RIGHTEOUS vid! "You know they're just manipulating you and that's all that they're doing!" -about televangelism? It was post-Jim Bakker's horsesh*t, stealing money from unwell, indigent seniors, FOR SHAME! The REAL "God's" gifts are FREE, Hello?! Or am I just on glue? harhar! =)
Hey man, I think you miss the point. TKK was about fun and silliness, not serious theological research :) Electric messiah = AC/DC God. The song is huge.
Your comment made me feel nice inside. Kind of walm and squishy, and itchy, in a good way. The way that Jesus makes me feel. Thanks for posting your comment!
LSD is way cooler then jesus and thats what this video is talking about jesus is some fucking little homeless guy in a book that nut jobs read and use to start wars with and act like the worlds biggest douche. fuck jesus send him back to Mexico!
Jesus is pretty cool. In reality Jesus is probably cooler than this. I don't believe in him, but this video is only a political statement about an experience, how it feels perhaps to be on drugs. It's your choice of whether to take this seriously, or just as an artistic statement. I think this is a very clever, fun artistic statement.
unfortunately for christians, even if jesus was cool it wouldnt want to be associated with unfashionable godbot losers :)
luckily for them his image is shite, leading scholars to agree that he wasnt cool. pretending you are god, having a beard, wearing smelly rags, having a coterie of bum chums and no girl friend is not cool. and preaching a load of totally unfunny pretentious rubbish is a fashion no no under any circumstances.
Does anyone know what the "I was raised in Mississippi" is sampled from?
