@@Invading-SpeciousI dropped ACID at an Airshow in 2019 ,South Texas.....the A-10 ....strife ,air strike reenactment.....and powerful energy.....made for a kick ass afternoon.....indeed.
I’m old asf and remember when the Butthole Surfers played in Houston the first time! About 1980-82. They were the happiest, most excited bunch I’ve ever seen as far as just being so excited to do this gig at The Island. They have come so far!
You're never quite the same person after attending a Butthole Surfers gig. This is without doubt one of the finest rock tracks in the history of rock music. 😎
My first gig was Butthole Surfers, just after Independent Worm Saloon had come out. I was 14. Our moms gave me and a couple of my boys a ride there and back home. That night changed my life for real. Proof I'm still at home listening to and watching videos of these freaks now almost 30 years later.
It's almost as cool as banging a playboy model in HoneyBucket when Molly Hatchet's playing the county fairgrounds and yuir packin' a chicken-heartsworth of just gree-zy peanut butter. That's what this guy called Earl told me. ehh.
good thing, I have better music to listen too. This is very punk/amatuerish my dude. I like punk but it could be more Dead Kennedies Frakenchrist and less Ramones
they filmed this video at the lake castaic show back in 1993. it was july 2nd. the lineup was beats & blunts, firehose, stone temple pilots & butthole surfers. i was lucky enough to score 2 hits of really strong acid in the beer garden before firehose came on. that show was one of the most intense shows i've ever seen. to this day i can't tell if half the shit i saw that night was real or a hallucination.
I was at that tour show in Miami Bayfront Ampitheater and this girl I just met fed me about an 1/8 of mushrooms and it hit really hard. Gibby was shooting a shotgun blasting huge balloons over his head and above the crowd and I hadnt noticed but I was about to get utterly wrecked by a group of skinheads and some SHARPs just picked me up and set me off to the side and and they all started beating the fk out of each other so I walked to find my other friends and some kid ran up and said "Hey I saw those SHARPs just save your ass!" I asked what SHARPs are he said (Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice) That was the first time I heard of that. And my first time seeing Firehose...amazing... I think I happened to see Firehose play a club in Fort Lauderdale which may have been that same weeknd or someother time. Those fkg 90s huh?!
I think the tone/guitar recording is alittle too dingy. Especially the vocals being so present over everything else, the rhythm has no chance to present itself and feels like it's barely playing a role.... I dont like this style of music
42 now and literally growing up near them and knowing them the memories seeing them . Someone needs to figure out how to preserve the perfect moments. But as the once great actor who played spock said life is like a garden perfect moments can be had but sadly not preserved.
I remember when this came out in 1993,I bought the cd I was in 10th grade and drove to school with this song blasting and when I turned the car off the principal asked me what the fuck was that lol.
That night was the first time I did acid and I loved the fireworks but honestly this stage was a gateway to hell in my mind at that time, the drummers really helped that idea
Y'all remember that one episode of "King of the Hill" where Hank accidentally gets high, after thinking what he was smoking was just a cigarette that the stoner dude rolled himself? Yeah, this soundtracks that bit pretty well.
at 2:57 there's a shot of a shoe being thrown that hit the microphone stand and bonked Gibby in the face supposedly chipping his tooth. this took place at the Lake Castaic show in Castaic California on July 2nd 1993. I was at that show. the played with Stone Temple Pilots, fIREHOSE and Beats and Blunts. i was trippin balls on 2 hits of really good purple blotter acid and i saw some shit that night that i'm still not sure was real. when the shoe hit gibby in the face he was so pissed he stopped the show and tried to pick a fight with the guy who threw it. he eventually continued with the show but man he was mad. one other highlite of that show, during Stone Temple Pilots show Scott Weiland was also hit in the face with a Vans shoe. he stopped the show and said "I'M GONNA DEDICATE EVERY SONG I SING FROM NOW ON TO THE FUCKER WHO JUST HIT ME IN THE FACE WITH A SHOE!!". aside from these two incidents it was a great show. firehose rocked, beats and blunts played for like 15 minutes while most of us were still in line to get into the show. i was lucky enough to score some acid from a hippie i met in the beer garden. i had to drive home back to thousand oaks that night. i was still trippin balls when the show was over. i didn't come down from that acid until about ten the next morning. one of the best nights of my life.
Thanks I knew this was a CA show - at least a couple of shots looked like the 8 hour show they did at the Ibeam in SF - always had to be on your toes in the pit with the acid and the strobes

....gotta love living down here in the "Nation of Texas" that's for sure....and catching Al up on the lake chilling catching some nice bass is a given!!
this song showcases. the ability if the guitar player they went from being a noise band to a legitimate band with this release! every song on the release is amazing I listen to it all the time!!!!
Tripped very much to their show at Memorial Hall in KC KS... They had an upside down, gum scraping, surgery, on a giant video behind them..... It was beautiful...
I drove out to the canyon ground Grinding dust off from the sand I don't ever fuck with the Dust Devil He's got the power of an upright in his goddamn hand The sand becomes a potent elixir Wind as hot as flame The bodies fly right through the night All faceless and without name I grab onto a foreign handle Walking all through a door Discovered I was just buying a pint Of turkey at the liquor store I drove out to the canyon, baby And hit the motherfucking road I paid my fine and all the lights Look exactly like a picture show The desert skies before my eyes They turned into a sea A flaming mass of oil and gas Screams with ecstasy
I had the pleasure of seeing this show. Castaic Park near bakersfiel, STP opened. No doubt in my mind, best concert I have seen in my life, hands down.
Throughout this can picture Texas oil man,George Bush riding a chopper with oil barrel gas tanks, bull horns, American flag high on a rear pole, Dick C. chasing him down, gas hose up his behind.
Anyone who has ever heard Thundertheif or some of the other tracks on John Paul Jones Zooma album could tell that his production is all over this song. That man understands how to make bottom end jump out at you on a rock song.
It's not Sublime lol , it's Murder One ... " Everything is gonna be alright , Everything is gonna be alright . Murder One's in the house tonight , Everything is gonna alright "
For all the kiddies, this is what is called "music". It was born circa forever ago and died around Nickleback. (Also see Elton John and Sam Cooke for further learning)
This video is flashy enough to trigger my epilepsy. And I don't even have epilepsy! Seriously, my brain short-circuits every few seconds while watching this
YEA DUDE I WAS THERE TO! THAT WAS A KICK ASS SHOW! What is CRAZY is just TODAY I saw a hot young Asian Chick with a Nirvana Shirt and I told her "Nice shirt! I saw Nirvana Twice, once with Butthole Surfers in Seattle!"
it's 1993, I'm in Germany and this is the soundtrack of me bombing downhill paths on my mountain bike. Sometimes I close my eyes and I'm racing through the trees again...
I would say SNES commercial got me into this song, but I heard the song before that commercial came out. I was still amazed they used it in a video game commercial.
This is amazing, but they had already turned the corner toward mainstream acceptance around this time. If you want the true Butthole Surfers experience, check out the albums Another Man's Sac, Rembrandt Pussyhorse, Locust Abortion Technician and Hairway To Steven.
