The Flaming Lips - Wayne prints a poster using his own blood

[Limonada2011]

i love it!

[kaileynervosa]

love love love love loooove

[CPD0123a]

How that crap did he get that much blood out for the poster???

Any lesser musician would have died from that!

"It smells weird..."

[xlrious1]

so cool

[TheAcburton]

This man. I swear he's from space.

[joshacio]

@TheAcburton nah hes from okc he lives right by me i see him often walking his dog.

[TheAcburton]

@joshacio Aww, jealous. His pictures of Dazey are adorable.

[yerfavoritegreg]

I love love love love Wayne and the Lips, but lets not forget that Kiss did this back when the four original members were the only four dudes who played with Kiss. Just sayin.

[Dillonsimeone]

Why are so many people feeling so faint when they watch this? This is nothing, I could point everyone to one of the most bloody site in the world...But I can't because it's so bloody that people will go for my head for just talking about it.

[humanslayermil]

He should print using blood from his neck....

[AphoticAgony]

im gonna buy it and eat it and die of aids it will be awesome

[LeeVaiM]

You rule wayne

[vmjking]

Far fucking out!!

[crakahjak7]

What do you call that technique for printing posters?

[priorzola]

@crakahjak7 silk screening.

[ThePoorhillbilly]

this is HARDCORE

[1love2respect]

favorite part: "Fuck it" as Wayne splatters the poster with the cup of left over blood solution

[Ashes2evil]

Kurt Cobain did this, he used his own blood, semen, fecal matter and cigarette ash as mediums before! This guy isnt anything new

[CherryGarcia15]

@Ashes2evil and marcel duchamp used semen in art before that

and marc quinn made a cast of his head using his blood

people have been doing this a lot longer than wayne or kurt were even born. just because it's been done before, which this hasn't to my knowledge, never heard of making a poster out of blood, doesn't mean it's any less cool

[Gromter]

@Ashes2evil Kurt Cobain can suck a dick.

[earthpart3]

@Gromter You're a dumbass.

[Gromter]

@earthpart3 Well yes I am, now I have to revise my comment- thanks for that. Kurt Cobain could have sucked a dick, but he was an idiot and blew his head off instead.

[truffleshuffle777]

@Ashes2evil as did GG Allin before Sir Faggot Cobain, except Allin did use his bodily fluids/waste for writing down crappy lyrics about depression. So I guess Cobain wasn't exactly all that original after all. And I am quite positive that someone did it before Allin too. so fucking what? go cry some more. and remember, cut along the vein, not across it.

[Strombergundy]

impeccable technique... lol

[ashavari]

AWESOME. We would get a long very well.

[RandomCatFilms]

this is real art

[killkill120]

Put more on and leave the screen on the paper to set for about 5min I am a amtur.

[AndrewMarsdenFilms]

THAT BADASS MOTHERFUCKER!

[damienricefan72]

if anybody knows what brand that parka he's wearing is, i'd really like to know!

[Mablak]

I feel faint just knowing his blood was drawn multiple times for this. If I watched this again I'd probably pass out.

[yallsostoopid]

@Mablak It was probably drawn once and that many tubes is less than an ounce. Relax. 

[thebaloob123]

I think it's hard to get more badass than that!

[berkeley206]

4:27

I love wayne

[rocketshiptothemoon]

this is fucking awesome

[BoomBoxJakey]

this is disgusting and stupid

[dancecamerondance123]

The ultimate collectors item!

[JoyGrenade]

This is what I want to be when I grow up.

[TheStalefish11]

Everyone seems to be overlooking the fact that a grown man is making skull posters with blood.

[CharIieDoom]

What camera was used to film this?

[franks1no]

this is one of the most fucked up and yet amazing things i have ever seen

[vidiot1992]

anyone know what brand his jacket or sweater is called? i really like it

[Fuukuie]

I don't really see what the big deal is. It's not like it's gallons of his own blood. Just a few vials.

[irishgoddess612]

Thats really fuckin gross....

[jesuscat29]

@irishgoddess612 but awesome

[gldmj55]

whens the auction?

[AnaDroid]

@calvinandhodge

Alright, I'll give you the bum point.

I also hate that amazing art may be ignored just because it is created outside of the art-school and associated crowd.

As far as I know, Wayne's been making gig posters since he himself was some crazy bum. Maybe if he did this in the 80s he would have repulsed people and been largely ignored.

I don't know where I'm going with this, nor am I trying to make you back down from your point.

[adrenologicals]

wtf

I really cannot believe they forgot the paper 

[123heroe123]

If someone needs your DNA when you die, your print will helps a lot. XD

[CHOPPERSUlT]

nice fluids!

[pallavi4u]

this was soo cool, but i do feel light headed like many others who've seen it.. but this is really what we call a work of art.

im an artist too, i can appreciate it when other artists do works worthy of praises!

overall when i know i cannot do such a thing using my own blood, or any other blood, i dont possess a strong enough heart for that.

[AnaDroid]

@calvinandhodge

But, since Wayne is primarily seen as a musician, those who want this print are dubbed stalker-like. Boshit. It's a cool print, and I'd want one even if it wasn't done with blood. Also, Wayne's used blood and bloody imagery for ages, so people are late on the non-originality bandwagon. In other words, fck y'all! I'm pathetic and I love me some Coyne blood.

[calvinandhodge]

@AnaDroid I like the poster as well, but it is funny how something like this is revered just because of whos blood it was. Imagine a bum on the street making blood posters, Im pretty sure you wouldn't be so enthralled and impressed by his supposed genius.

[Audhumla]

@calvinandhodge if that same bum also made The Soft Bulletin, i'd be able to overlook an eccentricity like bloodposters

[calvinandhodge]

@Audhumla I'm not complaining about the eccentricity of blood posters I'm speaking to the fact that people will overlook this simply because they like the guy who did them. So this isn't an appreciation of the poster like many people are saying, but rather an appreciation of Wayne putting his blood all over a poster....

[AnaDroid]

@calvinandhodge I agree that many musicians aren't worth going nuts over. I think people get obsessive about Wayne because he is quite open toward his fans, and really tries to relate to the people he meets. This sort of interaction can be very meaningful to a person, and I'd say it's pretty rare to encounter nowadays. I feel like, if an "artist" did this, and sold the piece for some insane price, people wouldn't be complaining on the same level.

[calvinandhodge]

@AnaDroid I'm simply commenting on the fact that the valuation of art most often involves a consideration to who did the art, rather than purely the art itself. And that is what is going on here.

[WeBackToRun]

6 guys are vampires

[n8rm]

405 love

[calvinandhodge]

Wow, you people are pathetic. Its really funny how nuts people go over musicians. Its really funny how irrational the idea that something is somehow better, more valuable because of who its associated with. The author comment says it all... Let the bidding begin, have fun spending a lot of money because you have an unhealthy obsession with someone.

I love the flaming lips but this is just silly. And not because of the fact that he's using blood,

[billyboogy]

@calvinandhodge ~ pretentious fuck! why don't you leave us "pathetic" people alone. "Its really funny how irrational the idea that something is somehow better, more valuable because of who its associated with?" Ever heard of Picasso, Dali, Van Gogh, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach? You are an ass! I'm not saying I want this poster, I'm saying leave those who do alone...go back to your DMB fan club and stay there. I like BLOOD SILKSCREEN POSTERS MADE BY INTERESTING PEOPLE (I'm just don't own any)

[calvinandhodge]

@billyboogy Thanks for affirming my point. Yeah I have heard of Picasso Dali etc... And they are proof of the very things I am talking about. The art world and the music world value heavily the image of the artist in addition to what they actually make. There have been paintings that look identical in style to a Jackson Pollac painting, only under microscopic scrutiny were experts able to discern the difference. So, this painting that was worth a millon was worth 0 because Pollack didnt do it

[antinoobtien]

Good stuff.

[boess]

Wayne I love you.

[maweibezahn]

I really like their music but the video is not that original at all... and quite pretentious.

[halfstring]

4:29 exactly. Slap it all on there.

[Bootleder]

Watched this 20 minutes ago, still light-headed, fuck... :/

[PDAisAok]

1 meeeellion dollars

[sylviashines]

this is so gimicky. lots of artists have used blood before. the question is what is important about using blood (as opposed to any other alternative medium, like wine or coffee or feces, whatever). and if you're gonna bother creating a screen to print with, you might as well print more than one. otherwise, you may as well have done a monoprint.

[monokhromenite]

@sylviashines yeah loads of artists have used blood before, but were any of those artists wayne motherfuckin' coyne?

no they weren't, and that is why this is so fucking awesome

[sylviashines]

@monokhromenite . Awesome.. to you. big whoop.

[argus800]

feeling a bit light-headed after that

[AnimesBloodRain]

i was thinking "i wounder what that smells like?" then he said "This smells weird!" O_O

[nochesmasrock]

for fucks sake. i love wayne. but i almost passed out watching this.

[2muffinsinanoven]

The only thing positive about that poster is HIV! Haha. No, I'm just playin. I want that poster!

[idioteque113]

@2muffinsinanoven :)))

[terracrush1234]

I WANT THAT LITTLE BUCKET.

[mkfreak830]

That was sooo grody! But kinda cool too. XD

[666slink]

Wow! I can't believe he forgot the paper. Good thing it didn't go through the first time.

[LIVEWHENEVER]

I bet you could sell that...for a ...Million dollars.

[monokhromenite]

i want to own this so i can lick it and know what god tastes like

[foonlyvision]

bloody brilliant

[laserchunk]

red to brown still kool tho

[laserchunk]

red to brown

[abbywilcox]

aw. we love you wayne!!! we got one of your prints in oakland...but we want that one. when + where is the bidding?

[PinkFloydrulez]

holy shit awesome

[m3n3t3k3l]

It seems like it would deteriorate with time. Dried blood gets flaky.

[windexbrokenrecord]

just saw you not eight hours ago :)

[akemashite666]

fucking awesome !!! i want it !!!!

[eventhebear]

that is not the proper way to pull a squeegee, mr. coyne

[danyelgarcia]

Q doido!!!!!!!!!

[TheFeedski]

I watched you at ACL. Badass show man! Best one I saw there and I was there for all 3 days.

[Nogli]

A few years ago, the makers of the Saw films did something similar with Tobin Bell (who plays Jigsaw) donating a vial of his own blood which went in the red ink. I'm not entirely sure if this would be legal to sell if on eBay. There's some policy against bodily fluids I think.

[wooofums]

i'd buy it

[iluvonlymuse]

cool,but ewww...

[smsuphish]

i know a guy who...

likes to sprint...

but when he's at home and

makin prints...

he dont use i dick blick

or plastisol

he dont use dye or

ink at all

he uses hemoglobin

[transientsmile]

@smsuphish Why has this comment existed for 17 hours without any thumbs up? xD

[smsuphish]

@transientsmile hah.. well thanks.. i guess the minutes i spent writing it.. was worth it after all

[MaxVdub]

@smsuphish brilliant XD

[carpetmonk]

@smsuphish oh my.. a fellow textile worker.. or sweatshop worker? artist!.. hmmm.. plastisols.....

[edd9139]

That's pretty cool. It looked better before he put the blood in the eyes and let it drip though.

[JackGills]

Any one got a link for the auction ?

[kip151]

Pretentious Fuck Mate

[unusualcatperson]

Thumbs up if the sound of that thing scraping against the other thing made you fucking cringe.

[WereRabbbit]

Should have used more blood for a better print. Not that the print to begin with was kind of crazy.

[deinmich]

"did I put any paper under there?.....I did'nt!"

[joeynmare]

this is art.

[ninjafist7]

Fucking crazy. 

[Gana0]

You can't even read 'THE FLAMING LIPS' at the top of the poster...

[monodistortion]

lol, yawn. Didn't Kiss do this with their comic book? Flaming Lips > Kiss

[BloodYell66]

@monodistortion Yes, I agree, The Flaming Lips are much better than Kiss.

[ZKLKZK]

this is gonna go for like tens of thousands, guaranteed

[ninjafist7]

@ZKLKZK He's auctioning it off.

[proceedapathy]

bloody

[IRLKids79]

This is genuinely Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell...

[L33Tspartan]

i didnt know wayne coyne could bleed seeing as hes a god

[eastcstsrfr]

happy clouds... of blood

[boysarefun]

just a regular damien hirst ;D

[UserRED13]

Ah, printmaking.

[djeurosham]

Is he out of his mind, or is he more sane than us?

[spissxyndculrthnu]

Only Wayne

[naseoj]

this guy is out of his mind.

[Mattomega]

The Lips cover Bob Ross! Replete with fro and blood.

[geekgirl45]

Finally. A way to clone Wayne.

[shotgunshiver]

He's like a perverse Bob Ross.

[qluketherin]

uhm, pretty sure he's tripping balls in this video. just watch his erratic mannerisms.

[grands1am]

@qluketherin

Don't know about that...

[lovemuscle1986]

When's the auction? Give the process to some type of blood disease charity, haha.

[asemh]

what song is playing in the background? thx!

[mrsaganscosmos]

@asemh "the egos last stand" off of embryonic

[jdguitarplayer]

damn when i thought Wayne Coyne couldn't get weirder...this is insane!

[jk3047]

[harrison525]

Love it.

[elusi0nx]

this is creepy, but you know its gonna be worth a shit load in years to come

[Mick342]

I'd pay for the cup......With  endless love.

With Endless Love.

[chesa311]

Wow that would be an awesome piece to have!!! Wayne blood silk screening cant get cooler than that! I would drop 110 on that easy!

[monkeymaestro]

That's quite disturbing. But the drip effect is actually really cool.

[avitube222]

I'll pay a hundred dollars fer it!!!!

[antistar2000]

Very Kiss-like. Rock On Wayne!

[graffitiplane]

"did i put any paper on there?.....i didn't!" he's higher than bill o'reilly's stress level! ! !

i'll pay anything for that poster

[graybanks]

Wow. Hey there Bob Ross.

[spakwee]

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

[bandslikelauren]

Wayne is the most morbid person ever, in a very ironic way.

[AnaDroid]

You wouldn't really need anything else in your apartment...

[CleaningTool]

That's fucking GANGSTA.

[rayofminneapolis]

Amazing. I thought my day was made, with the release of that LUCKY SUPER RAINBOW VIDEO, but then I saw this. My mind is in a new state of creative bewilderment.

[TheMrdude6969]
