Something smells.........
One of the most entertaining shows I ever went to... was at the Palladium in NYC. We rode in from Princeton Junction on NJ Transit... the ride back late that night was interesting... my buddy and I were completely covered in dried fake blood from the stage show.
"Huh? Who?"
Now he can be reunited with the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu!
RIP
Dear Parents,
We’d like to have your children raised on music written by emotionally unstable individuals fixated on sex and violence.
Thanks,
The Media
Beavis and Butthead is how I know of them too.
Megadeth is more my speed.
Pure talent and class have largely moved to the indie market, thanks to electronic distribution and the plunging cost of building a studio as good as what Sun Records used back in the day.
When Sun launched Elvis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash, their Memphis studio cost between three and five million dollars. By nineteen ninety eight a studio of comparable capability could be put together for thirteen thousand.
So today, people with real talent forgo the RIAA and retain all the rights to their own music. Not everyone with talent makes it without a day job (se as ever) but on the other hand breaking even takes a smaller number of sales unburdened by the record companies and the costs of the old distribution network.
NNNOOOOOOOoooooo... RIP
-— That is easily done because GWAR is really more of a performance art ensemble than a band. -—
Performance “art.”
“His penchant for scatological humors belied a lucid wit,” said Bishop.
So he talked crap?
The established guys these days do all they can to avoid production studios and the costs and hassle associated with them. Just the other day Dave Mustaine was posting pics of his new soundboard and equipment to twitter.
He can record at will without having to go to a studio for weeks or months. He can lay down tracks when he feels like it and the other band members can come and do the same. He says the coolest part is that they can record from different locations as if they were in the same studio.
May he rest in Gpeace.
OO design principles at work.
Saddam a gogo was the Bevis & Butthead GWAR video that led me to their music

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Brockie — a.k.a. Oderus Urungus — was found early Sunday morning dead, sitting upright in a chair at his Richmond, VA home.
We’re told foul play is not suspected ... and one law enforcement sources told us, “There were no drugs found, as far as I know.”
Another law enforcement source tells us it was not a suicide. No note was found. Brockie was found by his roommate.

I always enjoyed his appearances on Red Eye.
Maybe they could hire one of the ex-Rolling Stones to replace him. Wouldn’t even hafta wear a mask!
RIP, a pretty funny rock band. My favourite is the very sincere 80s hairband-esque ballad ‘the road behind.’
Here’s the road behind video, still cracks me up.
