The Misdirection of Throbbing Gristle & and the Gender Boundaries Broken by Genesis P-Orridge 

Grandpa and Grandma are the age of original Throbbing Gristle fans.

I think Cosey always tends to get overshadowed by P'Orridge. Her own solo work was probably even more atmospheric and out of body than TG was. (Particularly the album Time To Tell) Sometimes its hard to me to view Genesis in the same light, despite being a figurehead much themselves, as they were an abusive partner to Cosey which has been detailed since.

Great video, bud. The day I bought the “20 Jazz Funk Greats” CD, the cashier asked me and my friend, “What kind of music do you guys listen to?” My friend said, “Whatever’s popular.” We laughed like maniacs all the way home. It’s been my answer ever since.

Love TG. I got Second Annual Report when I was 13, and by the time I finished listening to it my concept of music changed completely.

Love me some TG. “Live at The Factory, Manchester” is one of the best albums ever! Loved hearing you talk about them. Great vid!

Wow! That's fascinating! I remember getting introduced to industrial by ways of Bile through a friend that was really getting into industrial music and i just remember thinking: hold up, if THIS is industrial, then Nine Inch Nails is just a pop band, because this shit is crusty as fuuuuck! Needless to say, Throbbing Gristle sounds amazing, can't wait to find more!

TG were the best. The original wreckers of civilization. And Chris and Cosey were my go to chill out.

I am so happy Genesis P-Orridge received mainstream recognition for their art in their lifetime. I'm not interested in slogging through any debate on the merits, or lack thereof, mainstream acceptance brings, so don't bother. As a fan of over 40 years, it made my day when I heard about their exhibit at MoMA. G P-O likely thought "so what?". But I know somewhere between then and their death, a lightning bolt of satisfaction must have crept through, if only subconsciously and for a fleeting moment. And I love that they got to experience it.

alright man, good mini vid essay but i could give a ffffffff about your opinions mid explanations

TG was never my favorite, though I respected them. There were three that comprised perhaps half of my listening at the time: Skinny Puppy, Einsturzende Neubauten, and then Coil. Of course there were many, many others.

My friend played Hamburger Lady during a car ride at 2AM. I fell in love with TG ever since.

Good little film, thank you! TG, PTV, Coil and CTI are with me for ages now and I still discover new things. No need to dis NIN, they have their own place.

You have a voice made for silent film.

As a so-called child of the 60s who is now living in their 60s, I can’t honestly remember when I first came across the concept of irony. But when I saw the picture and the name together I thought it was somewhat ironic. If I was a little old lady, I’m sure I’d be more than happy to bring home that record just for the nice picture, remembering that once before I had a copy of metal machine music

Oh Throbbing Gristle those scamps.

Hamburger Lady is great in all its versions. Almost 50 years later and still, or even more, ahead of the times. Nice to see some honours where honour is due.

My gateway to Harsh Noise/power electronics/experimental music was Non but I soon found Throbbing Gristle and the hundreds of artists who were inspired by them. 💀🎧

this video has the most confusing title i've ever seen

Just discovered your channel and I’m a fan! TG is one of my all time favorites and this is maybe my favorite album of all time. Blew my little mind wide open whence first discovered it as a 16 year old.

The guy is a complete freak, victimised by his intellectualism, but, I’ve seen a psychic tv live RU-vid clip and it’s really good quality music. The type we were always looking for but could never find. I’ve never heard any music nerd mention them. I’m a cynic of music but I rate theirs first class.

just found your channel from your Su Tissue video. I love the videos keep up the good work !

Many people who were 'there' during the early years of experimental/industrial are now grandpa/ma, lmfao..... went i went to gigs early 80s a lot of people there were easily 20 years older than myself.

Look up "The process church of the final judgment" and you will learn all.about this person.

TG is one of my faves of all time & yea hamburger lady is absolutely horrifying to the day. Makes death metal look tame. Cool vid thx!

Well done. Hedwig and Angry Inch, David Tibet, there's a lot of content to cover,

Gen's ego was so massive he referred to it as "we."

Cozis autobiography is absolutely brilliant

"By far worse is the Hamburger Lady..."

You sound like you've been yelliing/screaming your entire life! Bought this album in my teens btw.

well made look at them, nice job

Thank you for covering this. Someone has to every few years or so.

Genesis continues to live in Spirit through those of us with whom s/he collaborated, and beyond. I spent time with Gen over 30 years ago in their home and in thee TOPY network.

Absolutely gorgeous introduction to TG and Gen in particular. 🖤

This music is about having fun with your friends

great video and love throbbing gristle

Pleasure through pain

You are the coolest! So stoked on this channel.

The first time I heard Hamburger Lady I didn't think too much of it, mostly because I had read an article about it and knew what to expect. It wasn't until a few years later when I was listening to a tape I had recorded from the radio playing at a very low volume. The volume was so low it had that ambient quality to it. When Hamburger Lady came on I didn't recognize it at first. The weird stuttering vocal effect and the repetitive drone were competing for my attention and I was seriously creeped out. It wasn't until I got close to the speakers that i realized what i was listening to.

Ricola .... ?

I bought this album around 1981 . The punk rockers I hung around wouldn't let me play it around them but once

They r fucking out there..to weird for me, but it made me laugh. One of my oldest now gone friends was a hard core punk rocker and a fellow musician. He played hamburger lady for me long ago. I aint forgot it. Got to be the most bizarre shit i ever heard. I wouldnt call it music. Fuck, i dont know what id call it...maybe someones nightmare...

great video. big fan of TG, PTV and all other projects.

Nice video 👍

bro speaks in ring modulator

I agree, hamburger lady, i heard once back in the 80,s and im still disturbed now. I think i need therapy..hahahahahaha

I remember the shock when hearing Zyklon B Zombie in the 70s. Followed by Discipline...

When I first heard Hamburger Lady in SF in 1982, I was enthralled. I did some industrial music, "A Terrifying Lump", but was too cowardly to continue life without a college degree. No regrets. Thanks for the great video!

20 Jazz Funk Greats. For over 30 years I'm always hearing something new each and every listen.

Oh yea, I love it. It is electrifying my sense to here TG music, 30 years and I am still on it, love your presentation of them, funny and fun, ❤

Super introduction to underappreciated pioneers.

Hamburger Lady is such a haunting track,and my favourite one.

Great video man. However Genesis told me at his house that Pink Floyd was the first industrial band. He saw them build a table onstage and drank tea off it. All mic work. I was surprised to hear him say that. He was a Syd Barrett fan. So there it is. From Gen himself. Pink Floyd 1st industrial band

Buffalo Bill with a synth.

I still want discipline.

TG ❤

what an excellent video

Fuckin A 🧤🎈💎

So why did the Su Tissue video get removed?

I really like both Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle musically, and in interviews P-Orridge always seemed like a very sweet and charming person. But all the anti-Catholic, borderline/sometimes explicitly Satanic and occult stuff makes me really uncomfortable. I guess that's by design, but ehhh, I dunno. Anyone who is that anti-Jesus makes me go "what is your agenda really?"

Had absolutely no idea about this music nor the artists, thank you for spreading awareness! (love the ending lean out of shot 🤣)

And yet, 20 jazz funk greats is somehow the most "accessible" T.G. album. Not for jazz funk fans though, that's for sure lol

Make two videos instead of one TG’s brilliance and Gen’s ridiculous plastic surgery are nothing to do with each other
