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.

Of course; but by that do you mean 'All Kindsa Girls' by The Real Kids?

[jakefortwice]

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'.

[Napoleon Chagnon]

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

[Eric Stefan Heinrich]

I saw that on TV a long time ago and it made me shake. The Gories: großartig!!!

Mick, the most awesome frontman, ever.

Also, who can't love a dude that lives to collect comic books?

Aha, great to find who originally made this video. I love it and even ripped it off a tiny bit (badly) in a video I did some time later. Nice work of course. Cheers!
