Industrial music started in Britain with Industrial Records.

Industrial music started when the bomb dropped on Hiroshima... ^^

Who... IS. THIS. GUY???????????????

[koylmusic]

It's the singer/guitarist of Einstürzende Neubauten, one of the most influencial industrial band ever and was on of the guitar player of Nick Cave and the bad seeds... an unknown man so to say.. ^^

[koylmusic]

Thanks.

It was late when I uploaded it and I was probably too tired.. ^^

Now I feel like an idiot.

Mispelling corrected now..

Blixa looks so handsome in this. =] I like his view on music. Traditional isn't for him, he enjoys alternative ways of making music, which I find inspirational and creative.

@koylmusic Funny, that is when Butoh started as well.

Mark E. Smith, Sonic Youth and Einstürzende Neubauten in one vid... that's pretty cool I guess

[illiteratellipsis]

Wasn't he a guitarist as a Bad Seed? Maybe Nick has impressive blackmail material...

[XxxkenzaxxX]

I love German.

@koylmusic Who the fuck cares? I understand what both of you are saying but seriously, who the fuck cares? Just listen to music. TG, Neubauten, WW2, meh.

[saltykraut]

cool!

@jas22 the rock and roll hall of fame never meant anything. It's just a private club for the owners to wank off and give their favorite rock acts props and rake in tourism money. They throw out awards to other bands that are canon too, I guess. Doesn't take a genius to realize the impact of the bands they throw a bone too, tho. Ohio needs the tourism money, okay!

[jas22]

totally random thought that just came to mind - i cant fucking believe Madonna is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. really, hasnt money and power destroyed the dignity of all things?

Industrial dates back to the first caveman banging rocks together. I think "industrial", like "noise" is more a state of mind than an actual description of musical content. The pioneers of the industrial genre are probably not too happy to be put in the (nowadays very narrow) category of "industrial". In a way, the less you follow the conventions of industrial, the closer you get to its actual roots. Like Nietzsche said: "if you want to follow me, walk your own path" (loosely translated)
