    More terrible fun with You Tube

    Why the hell did I spend years recording poor-quality rock videos off public access shows aired by eccentrics when I should've known stuff like this would one day be available so easily?

    Billy Squire- my GOD that was funny.

    Gwar on Joan- Absurd and surreal and ultimately boring.

    Coltrane animation- ZZZzzzZZZzzz. Saxophone abuse.

    Lenny Cohen- Makes me want to smash his guitar like Belushi in Animal House.

    Flamin Groovies- Pretty much a classic. Perfect rock attitude, great classic song to cover. Personally I need more from music than this.

    Shatner = God. Consider this sent to many of my "friends."

    MORE!

    I had a friend in the Navy that thought Squier was the second coming and then this video came out...it was kinda fun to watch his anguish every time it came on. But in Squier's defense, someone shoulda stopped this sort of thing (director, band member, himself). But at least its no worse than many of the videos that were being made at the time.

    Gwar on Joan? never seen or heard of Gwar before and couldn't recall two episodes of Joan River's show.

    The Coltrane thing; music is good, the animation might have been considered cool at one time, but the best music needs no visual stimuli. This wasn't stimulating.

    Shatner is of course, Shatner. He kinda plays off all these old attempts at music as a goof or a joke. And they are that, but he doesn't fool me. He was serious at the time and that's what makes this so hilarious.

    What the hell? That Billy Squire video is like a bad Flashdance parody. The only thing missing is legwarmers.

    ...and now I think even less! That is so friggin' bad that I can't believe anyone would have the balls to film it. And Gwar? WTF is that all about? I knew they were about as bad as that comedy act Insane Clown Posse, but this makes them look worse.

    I really can't bear to watch any more. Really.

    I've read that Squier sued the director of the video for ruining his career. Don't know whether that's true or not, but I saw somewhere that it was actually his biggest hit. Sorta makes sense. He lost his fan base with that, and the masses are difficult for most to capture on a regular basis, especially ones musically oriented more towards "rock" than "pop." With the emount of keyboards on that rec, it's almost hard to figure Squier in that sense, though he did remain a guitar-oriented performer.

    This was linked elsewhere recently. If there's worse than that, I don't know what is, nor do I want to, but rest assured I wasn't trolling around looking for THAT.

    A lot of these I picked out due to their rarity. I'd never seen GWAR on Joan Rivers, didn't know they'd done that show, or any show. No, not exactly worth sitting through the whole thing. There are clips of them (with El Duce of the Mentors) on the Jerry Springer show up on You Tube as well. I've seen them live 4 or 5 times, and have none of their records. I think of them more as performance art than anything resembling anything musically serious, not even if you wanna talk speedmetal, which I do not. The thing to remember about them is that they're all from an artists' collective, and their live show is theatrical, interactive, and wetter than Tony & Tina's Wedding. That said, I have some other interview stuff myself from public access that's better than the Rivers spot.

    The Flamin' Groovies clip I posted only because I've NEVER seen any video footage of them, anywhere, ever. Not the perfect clip, downright amateurish, but that's far more my cup of tea than a lot of 'professional' rock bands, then, or now.

    No comments on the Roxy Music clip...interesting. Musically I thought it was the most remarkable of the clips I linked to.

    I'll see if I can't locate a few more that balance being interesting, rare, and...dare I say...good.

    Maybe after the Yankee game...

    Oh yeah, look at that, I missed the Roxy clip.

    Yes, musically it is the most interesting of the 7 links, but it's really not that challenging. Never been a fan of Ferry's weird warbly vibrato. His lounge-lizard schtick bugs me. There's always been something about RM that felt insincere to me. Hard to put my finger on it.

    I find it so odd that you are a fan of Roxy music because they are so affected and arty-farty. Almost progrock. Still, the song has a very retro 50s rock sound, so maybe that's what you are latching on to.

    Well, I was also trying to factor in the 'terrible' aspect on some of those choices, you see. Like, for instance, something like this...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DXj3thKJ2g


    But then I saw something I didn't think was terrible at all:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI


    Imagine a guy who's a Zappa fan yet says Giant Steps is 'saxophone abuse' thinking it odd that I'd like Roxy Music. Affected & arty-farty? Bah! If I think something is done well, there's a lot I'm willing to look past. Punk rock was affected & arty-farty as hell when it was Television & Patti Smith, wouldn't you agree? The Velvets were, as well--and the Ramones were a dichotomy, as you could say that aspects of their image were manipulated in 'arty-farty' ways by some of the characters who did things like designing their logos & album covers. So's Leonard Cohen, in a sense, but I'd be surprised you'd think that was a bad song if I was capable of being surprised by anything you say at this point, ya weirdo.

    What is this, bad choregraphy day?

    LOL at both of those. That treadmill thing was very creative and fun.

    Why can't I think Coltrane is saxophone abuse and still be a Zappa fan? Maybe I'm not a fan of Zappa's extreme skronk jazz period either . . . Just because you like an artist doesn't mean you have to like everything they ever did. Even if one of the things you like about that artist is that they were so varied during their career.

    Yeah, TV and mayyybe some Patty Smith was arty in it's own gritty way. Definitely pretentious. Ramones arty? Uhhhh, no. There's just something fopish and preciously twee about Roxy Music that makes me surprised that you like them, that's all.

    Maybe the Cohen is a good song, but I can't get past the tortured folkie delivery. Remember, for me, it's not so much what a song says as how it sounds.

    Hey, did you notice that OK Go video was a "one-er" (?sp)? I wonder how many takes it took.

    I think Frankie missed rehearsal.

    That treadmill thing was cool. I really enjoyed watching that. I wonder how many injuries were sustained before they finally got all that down.

    A truly classic moment. The Mike Douglas Show was an afterschool staple for the audiobill siblings and this clip brought back tons of memories.

    Old Mike, I'm sure you already know, passed away recently.

    Thanks for the memory trip,

    Bill

    Gee, that's a lot of links . . .

    The Monks are pretty fun. Never heard of them. Definitely a missing link from 60s surf to experimental 70s rock. Highly unusual and interesting, but I could never take a steady diet of them.

    Serge vs. Whitney is pretty amusing, but not hilarious. Maybe if they actually had sex . . .

    The Plasmatics are a sentimental favorite.

    Captain Beerfart always came across as a halfassed Zappa wannabe. Never got this guy. He woulda been nothing without FZ. bfd.

    "Girls Talk" is a great song. Good live version.

    The Damned on the Young Ones. What a lame show that was. Felt like something put on by the high school drama department. I'll take Alice Cooper any day.

    Beach Boys fire . . . brother, you can hear the LSD induced gnashing teeth over the cacaphony. Pathetic excuse for a song.

    Zoogz Rift- more halfassed Zappa copycatting. What a trainwreck!

    Bonzo Dog Band- it's amazing what people thought was funny. Just lame.

    Mirror in the Bathroom is a great song, regardless of how cheesy that video is.

    Zappa- Color me Pop. His DooWop period is not my bag.

    According to a German freind of mine Heino is the German Mitch Miller. The vibraslap gives me a boner. This song makes me want to goose step.

    Screamin Jay . . . can you imagine anyone doing ANYTHING like that today? Brilliant.

    The Husker Du is SO boring and vanilla.

    That Blue Cheer rawks. Nice bass solo.

    Snotra and Elvis . . . . hoooo boy. A little baggage there . . .

    Well gee Brad, I thought you'd be able to figure that out by my vibraslap comment alone.

    Isn't it ok for me to think "The Young Ones" is a pathetic excuse for a sitcom devised by ancient British TV execs that tried to pander to a much younger, virtually alien generation? It showed the worst of both worlds.

    You watch that clip of "Fire" (have you been able to yet?) and tell me with a straight face that it's "genius." You are welcome to and I'll still call you my pal. But jeez man!

    I know there are many like you that think Beerfart was brilliant, but based on that song? Forgettable junk. I still say Zappa carried him.
