The sethputnam-esque saga of Mark Adkins, a very crazy man (2023)

- Meet Mark Adkins, singer from Guttermouth. Since the early 90’s punk explosion, he’s been kicked twice from Warped Tour, kicked from Australia and banned from Canada, canceled in the US and arrested in Mexico.
Mark Adkins is constantly accused of being mysogenist and homophobic and often got his ass kicked off stage by the audience.
He’s still doing all he wants in 2023, and just doesn’t seem to care about cancelations.

Who would have thought a band called GutterMouth would say offensive shit and not be PC?
Have you heard the Guttermouth tribute band..
Pottymouth
@@Johnny2Bags47 haha i have not.
Saw Mark and Guttermouth many times back in the early 90's in southern California. True punk rock, with zero fucks to give.
It's as if people don't truly understand what punk rock is
I met Mark twice. He is a friendly person. He had to cancel Guttermouth's set in Colorado cause he was sick, so he gave us some free shirts. The next time I saw him was in Europe and he brought me up on stage, gave me some beer and let me hang out back stage after the show and eat the food. Then Less than Jake asked me to leave!😂
First saw Guttermouth back when The Offspring were doing the European leg of their SMASH tour, with Guttermouth supporting. About 20 of us went to a show and all we could talk about for days afterwards was how amazing Guttermouth were. Still love them to this day.
Guttermouth one of the greatest unknown known punk bands...
I saw guttermouth in Santa Barbara in 95' Saw them before but this time was epic. Mark took me up on stage, handed me a mic, then www proceeded to turn our shirts into Daisy Duke style and we belted a song out. I had a blast. Well then I Stage Dived. There were signs all over saying NO STAGE DIVING! Next thing I know I'm getting dragged out by security by the neck and dragged outside. I thought I was kicked out of the show but then they came out and got me because Mark made a stink about it and got them to bring you back in. He handed me the mic and I said Fuck Security! After they played we met up at the bar and we got completely annihilated. We both blacked out. I told him that I was moving to Philly and I'd see him in 3 weeks. Well we reunited there but definitely chilled on the booze. He said the Santa Barbara night his girl almost broke up with him. He's a good guy and an amazing singer. Guttermouth are legends.
Love this man! Truly nfg about the stupid punk clothes,politics,trends just a normal don’t tell me what the eff to do “Skate park kid” like a lot of us were.. the best most charismatic frontman ever you can’t change my mind
Guttermouth was the first band I ever saw live. 15 years old, 1995. Happy days.
Me too! The Palace in Hollywood
Same here it Ft. Lauderdale in the attic.
The fans that jumped him all are posers 💯🗑️🙏
They are the modern punk “scene”(cringe) personified. Sadly. Welcome to the post-rationality , strip-mall culture of Fantano- approved indie sounds
The lyrics to P.C. remain valid.
I wish Mark would write a book
That's funny bc he was once asked this question in an interview and replied: well if I write a book and read that book that'd be the only book I've ever read. Or wrote.
I tell him that every ime I see him
Whatever. 'Hey fuck you, mom!' remains one of my all time favorite lyrics .
For those of us with garbage ass moms that song is an anthem
@@ashleybrown4754 Absolutely!
Finally! A video about the best punk band ever!
Ha..ha
Met Mark many times, great guy. A true living punk legend
Agreed. I've partied with Mark a few times, he's a great dude!
@@The_El_Guapo you partied with a nonce?
You are lucky !
Met him at a show in Magog QC, me and him had a bunch of drinks before and after the show, he is genuinly chill
and really one of the nicest people in the world.
Saw Guttermouth at a bar in Huntington Beach years ago. It was a real spit show, literally.
Cheers for making this. Hung out and got wasted with Mark a few times. Always found the guy hilarious and a good dude. He is who he is and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. That’s punk!
TRUE PUNK ROCK!!! Seen them dozens of times from the OG lineup until this day.
Mark is Mark and will always be Mark he will always stay true to himself and that's punk rock.
Hey! How'd everybody get in my room?
Interesting fact: gg allin, Seth Putnam and Mark Adkins all born in the year of the monkey
Only difference one of the is alive still
He’s a true performer
Thanks for making a video about such a niche band. Have you considered interviewing him to find out what the fuck happened when he went to Australia and Mexico and disappeared?
I tried back in august via guttemouth's facebook page and someone replied me with Mark's email, but he never wrote me back
One of my favorite bands of all times
Love Guttermouth.
And here Mark once told me I was the scariest person he has ever met...
Guttermouth rules so did seth
DUDE!!!! The part where the chick gets up on stage and fights him... she hit him 1st and he defended himself... people (multiple) pull him off mad and hit him?
That's BOGUS!! 1st fighting is STUPID!!!
2nd, idk if it wrong for him defending himself against an attacker!
Hes just being logical 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Tome, you're awesome. Keep up the videos!
Every time I go to their shows he makes fun of my beard I love it. Haha
I heard that he has a permanent restraining order, from that venue in San Bernardino, because of the ‘95 show. I remember reading about it in the paper when it happened. They over exaggerated the events, the story I heard was that he encouraged them to burn down the venue. To be fair, I wouldn’t put past him to actually say that, so it wasn’t that hard to believe.
I don’t know why people would expect more from the singer of a band called Guttermouth. If this rollerblader can get over a complete hate anthem written about their own kind, I think everyone else needs to grow the fuck up.
That song is brutal
@@ashleybrown4754 but also hilariously accurate. Even rollerbladers made fun of the spandex shit. Plus I can’t hate them for being salty, cause rollerbladers did steal skateboarders girls back in those days
Cum guzzlin fruit cake. Pure gold
How was I sleeping on this band? Epitaph? Is this a Mandela effect?😅 Also, I love the hosts voice (Tome?)
/subbed
I remember them being on Nitro
I really dug guttermouth, none of this surprises me at all.
Cussing arrested development !! Wow... this is new !
Dude's an absolute mess but he's got a heart of gold as far as his passion for Punk rock goes in my opinion. Some people like myself need Punk. Even tho he's
been sleazy he still doing Gods' work as far as making Punk rock, with him (Jesus) goes.
I am the only person I know that has been kicked out of a Guttermouth Show. Las Vegas, 1997.
Wud juh do?
@@travisedwards3543 One of the bouncers the size of Shaq, thought I tried to punch him. I didn't. Shit happens in the front of a show.
Was that show at the Huntridge in early 97? I remember FYP getting the crowd crazy before Guttermouth came on.
@Vespawood1 Yep. I lived in St. George. I'm a skateboarder. I was friends with all the Vegas kids. I don't even want to start name dropping. ✌️
@Vespawood1 Todd Congelliere is such a rad skateboarder. One of my heros. Look at his part from the liberty skateboards video. Fuckin rad.
Love these videos dude
fuck yeah, love this!!
I have met Mark a couple of time and when he is off stage he is a very cool guy.
This was a cool video, I always wondered what happened to the long haired drummer (he tried to pull some scam I think and got kicked out of the band one time when they were going to Australia)?
Love it!!! My new fav channel
2:22 “Front Pit?” Is that what the actually call it? We always called it the Trench or Ditch. I’ve NEVER heard anyone say Front Pit before.
The difference between this guy and Seth is that Seth at least managed to make completely different sounding music with each project, this old fuck re-released the same song 1500, and is also not a 55 year old "stuck in the late 90s" fratboy that never grew up.
Inciting a riot? If that counts as inciting a riot, then I was at a show where the Aquabats incited a riot. 1998, small bar venue in Pueblo CO. The "stage" was just a 10 inch riser platform and there were three fucking bouncers for what was maybe 100 people. They kept pushing people (mostly girls) because there was pushing from the back. MC Bat Commander addressed the security stating that he understands that they're there to protect the equipment, but when folks push from the back, the kids in the front end up pushing forward. They're superheroes and they can protect the equipment just fine. Then they said if the kids weren't allowed on the stage, they'd play from the audience and then walked off the front of the platform and we all jumped up and down chanting "we don't need no stinking badges". I was holding Chainsaw's guitar. The bouncers left and they resumed the show.
I saw them a few times in the mid 2000s. They got spit on by the entire crowd at two different shows. It was disgusting in the pit because loogies were flying around everywhere. They were really pissed off and complaining the whole time. At one show, the bass player hit a guy and they ended early.
Never get arrested, especially in MEXICO. 🇲🇽 . NOPE
Mark is one of the few true punk rockers in a sea of “wholesome” easy to digest fake punks. Why do we expect musicians to be nice and wholesome? Yeah, he punched a girl on stage. She jumped onstage and attacked him, he had every right to knock her ass out.
Mark is a legend !
I met them when I was seventeen. He found the smallest piece of paper he could find and had the band signed it. I immediately lost it
The band didn't break up and reform in 2015. I was working for the band during that time and we toured steadily. I know, because I lived in the van in the Volcom parking lot when we weren't on the road.
Long story short the dude likes to have a good time…..
I always compare Adk Markins to Duane Peters in terms of going against the stream on main, anarchistic vibe of both of them and kewl musix of cuz!
So Guttermouth - 18 years later are still one of the few bands i actually enjoy relistening on daily basis!
First time i saw guttermouth was 2001 punk o rama tour with us bombs opening for them when mark finally came on stage he was chugging redbull and champagne on stage going fucking nuts one of the craziest guttermouth shows ive been to
Goddamn! Where can I see him? I want to join this guy's mission. Is he the only real one left? The GG Allin types, the greaser throwbacks? Is he the only one left right now? I love him!! Fuck this stupid woke lame ass world!!! 🖕 Everything's boring now.
Do not compare him to the great g g... One of a Kind... One of the few bands I got every album by...
@@650pathologist well, no. Not comparing, but in the same vein. The world has become, you know, this woke crap, and punk rock today has basically been hijacked by overly sensitive, I don't even know what is going on now, but it's not the same. What I mean here is there were very extreme bands in the late 80's early 90's that didn't care about anything. I have never heard of this guy, or any band in 2023 that can get away with this stuff anymore. I have seen the murder junkies. Remember the Mentors? Stuff like that. It just seems dead, ya know?
Check out Tear Dungeon. Might scratch that itch
GG Allin wasn't punk. Just a moronic attention whore.
punk in the park
It's a venture with lots of legendary punk bands. once or twice a year, mostly held in southern california.
if that's not your neck of the woods, go online.
I had such a great time with the band in Germany. Mark recognized me on my second show and invited me on their bus to the next date. Too bad those times are long gone.
Last time i saw guttermouth it was jacksonville beach
Landshark bar on first street and the show was so packed a table was ripped off the wall and mark ended up with a twisted ankle
He said we were the wildest show of the entire tour which was cool i hung out on the side of the stage after and sone dude gave him a percocete and some kid said something to mark he just turned his head and spit right in the kids face
He is a real punk rocker dude pisses everybody off everywhere he goes
I still have a poster from the first guttermouth show i went to in 2001 its even autographed by mark
Guttermouth is still rad today i would go to a show tomorrow
I was at that show, selling merchandise for the band. Crazy night. Someone gave me a bag of pills for his ankle, which we later discovered was ecstasy. Traveling with that band for 2 years was a blast.
@@bunson1134 thats funny cause at the time in Jacksonville i couldnt find beans anywhere and there was sombody at that show with bags of em
were they any good
That was a rowdy show there were alot of people packed in there
That sounds fun as fuck touring with guttermouth
@@fugyamofugI honestly couldn't tell ya. None of us were into X, so we gave them away. All I remember was shitty blow and worse weed. Haha.
@@bunson1134 ha ha that sounds about right most coke in scumville was laxative powder and the weed has always been mids at best unless you know the grower there were alot of fire strands going around
haze sour diesel and white rhino and a very high standard
Then the pigs busted like five grow houses in one day and fucked the market completely
I have been going to punk shows since 1995, saw sublime, worked the warped tour 3 years in a row for tsol, nitro and kung fu, and have seen thousands of shows all over the states. No band puts on a better live show then Guttermouth. Period. The Vandals and TSOL are a close second, NOFX and Pennywise a solid 3rd. But no one is better than Guttermouth live.
In like 08-ish this sorta familiar looking older so-cal punk dude who was a friend of a friend bought my friend an I lunch -we were broke punks on a roadtrip- and casually dropped he was playing guitar on tour w/ G.M. (Hunter maybe?)i was stoked as a fan but all he really said on the subject was Mark was hard to work w/ and kinda douchey. Thanks for the hot dog bro!!!!
Mark tells it like it is love him or hate him he is a showman 🥳
You know he gets his ass kicked....A LOT
But yeah you're right
He is a showman
Seth's response:"Mark Adkins thinks he's punk but he's just gay."
mark is a legend
He reminds me of Mike from Reno 911!
I think he was actually born in 66, I heard him say that in an interview
Same great attitude as FEAR. Woko Haram!
I hung out w gutter mouth like 8 years ago before they played a show ...the first thing Mark said to me when he got off the tour van was can you get me some cocaine? I went and grabbed him a 8 Ball I got a free t-shirt and all the band members signed it for me
God bless mark
Just saw them last week, fkn love him, so fun. If ur gonna go to a hard punk show.. know what your getting into and leave all ya bullshit at the door on the street.
HE'S NOT CRAZY !! HE JUST HAS THE BALLS TO SAY WHAT EVERY MAN IS THINKING 😂😂😂
Kenny Vs Spenny
Paster Mark makes some truely Beutifuuuul music.
Now I know you know what Iam saying
Québec City loves Mercury Mark, and Mercury Mark loves Québec City
If only punk was as punk as mark
Touring the same songs everyday for 30 years and still don’t know the words.
Mark is for real.
It's called punk
The real hardcore!
Guttermouth was the first real punk rock show I ever went to in 98. Punks supposed to be dangerous. Fuck all
Mark is a real punk
the common thread between all the people who decide to take on mark, is that they take him and the band seriously. don't think about it, just fucking enjoy it.
live at the Doll Hut...checks out
Getting kicked off the Vans Warped tour is the only punk thing you could there. Lol. Punk was never meant to be nice or PC.
Signed me warp tour poster from 1999 hi from canadah, very funny guy
Saw them in the 90's on South street philly in a squat house for 5 bucks, 4 if you brought the flyer 🤘🤘
i really hope im wrong, cause, after reading a lot of these comments.. everybody has met mark@least once, mostly twice, he remembers them, pulled them on stage & partied with the band. which must me very memorable monemts cause mark remembers them yrs later cause mark pulls them on stage again & parties with them..again.
for crying out loud, 1 guy claims guttermouth played @his high school in '97-'98 just before they played in canada & that whole incident occurred.
yet, no footage or a simple pic of any of it.its like it never occurred cause it probably didnt.
Mark is 100% the most punk dude in the scene today, he's against all politicians and does not give a SHIT.
what scene? he's no punk, he's a hick in a pop band
Not what Punk means at all.
Go easy on that reverb sometimes less is more.
Boring by-the-numbers popcore crap, fronted by a dude who seems to thrive on attention. Big deal. I did buy their 1st 2 7"s when they came out but never bought anything else after that.
I've never seem them live and never knew anything about this, buy sometimes grown ass me use punk rock as excuse for shitty behavior. The creepy stuff with minors and exposing yourself on stage is unnecessary.
that the appearance of not giving a fuck. not punk. It’s a stage and how he wants to be seen
I generally dont trust any band from the OC. Seriously look into how tied into the defense industry that county is. Weird how all the bands that come out of there are extremely anti "PC" (whatever that means) and seem to have a surface level idea of punk. Just being contrarian and snarky. I seriously think it's a COINTELPRO op to de radicalize the notion of punk. "Fuck sociopolitical issues lets make fart jokes and say bad words!, right fellow punkers!?!?!"
Legend.
Greatest punk band ever!!!! Always in trouble 👿
Im surprised he can still get shows. People have lost their careers and reputations for less
Wow, Tome. Somehow 8 years ago I found their album Gorgeous, and thought it was amazingly full throttle all the way through, with 2 melodic songs to close it out. Funny. I checked out other songs here and there, but they didn't hit me. After watching this video, I can't stop listening.
Guttermouth was one of the first punk bands I really got into. Granted, I was a contrarian insecure kid but I think that's the appeal: he never became a man, or at least his stage persona didn't. He rolls with the act after all this time. Gotta be fucking exhausting.
Comparing Mark and Seth seems disingenuous. Seth was FARRRRRR more destructive and awful that Mark is.
#adamthewoo 3:39
Good ol frat punk .zzzzzzzzz
Man, you know you fucked up when ya get kicked out of Canada
Showed his butt in Saskatoon.
Lmao
Saskatoon sux
Went to many shows throughout the 90’s and was never disappointed. Looks to be the only original member left. That makes a difference to me. Shit, let me in the band for awhile.
Aside from Mark, there's been a revolving door of musicians (in and out and back again). Guttermouth = true gig economy
He is crazy hate his voice
hes the best... not even compared to seth putnam axc.. give me a break comparison
He's not crazy, he's just a dolt.
