Friday YouTube: Butthole Surfers!

Well, it's Friday somewhere by now, and anyway, it's about time I got around to THE GREATEST ROCK BAND IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!!!!

Back in Athens, I rented this video of short films by Alex Winter. It had a couple shorts that had the same basic aesthetic as Freaked, but weren't as funny. Unlisted, at the end of the tape, was this video. The two shorts are on the Freaked DVD, but this isn't (unless it's a hidden easter egg somewhere).



This one was on a video from around 1989 called Impact Video Magazine, Issue 1 (as far as I know, there was never an issue 2). It was hosted by Alex Winter and had bits about Janes Addiction and Public Enemy, a great interview with Robert Williams, Bill Hicks talking about the Bush administration (the first one), and this stuck at the end.



Live insanity from the Blind Eye Sees All video.



This is a video from one of their later albums, Independent Worm Saloon. The music is a bit more traditional. That guitar riff is straight outa the Tony Iomni songbook. Wild video, too.
