The Gories "Nitroglycerine"

This is the second music video I made, back in 1990. It was shot in 16mm at Collins Collision in Detroit, Michigan, and at McClouth Steel. The Gories were my favorite current band at the time, and I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw them for the first time playing live to about 5 people in a bar in Dearborn, Michigan. They were great for their dynamic performance, and for their unique, original songs, as well as their great choice of covers. I was instrumental in helping Alex Chilton in his efforts to produce their 2nd album, of which this video was for. Mick Collins had already agreed to personify the west-African spirit, Ogun, for my future feature length effort, Wayne County Ramblin', now completed and available at our website;

The Gories were supposed to have a live performance in Wayne County Ramblin', but they had broken up long before we began filming. They nearly reunited for a scene, though, for their rendition of 'Ghostrider', with Lorette Velvette substituting for Dan Kroha, who wanted to do it, but had a scheduling conflict that couldn't permit him to be at Wild Bill's when that day came upon us.

this song is almost a standard... covered by the supersuckers, by rocket from the crypt... is this a gories original?

[roastingears]

True Dat! A Gories 'sparkling original'.

[napoleonchagnon]

The video matches the song, enough said. I take my hat off. The Gories are still one of my all time fave combos.

@biggssss seriously how many people have to dress urban outfitters and use iphones and listen to new indie-pop garbage when the classic stuff (whatever that could be) is so "alien" and actually brilliant to begin with....

[BagpipeHustler]

@biggssss i know people usually never listen to certain 90s cause OH SO YESTERDAY SO OLD DUDE cause it's way better influences, quirks, raw gritty more fundamental than today's culture that blows out the water. too much pop in our faces, the electronic age, whatever crap is in our faces has today's hipsters which are shrewd, timid.... we as people are naive as ever? so yeah fuck today's hipsters.
