Honestly, I think JGT made some kind of deal with the devil for a ton of creativity... but the rub ended up being, he didn't get the recognition he deserved for it. Even nerds that don't listen to music really fell in love with his Venture Bros. soundtracks. LOVE everything he does.
Jim should have gotten all the recognition and acclaim Trent Reznor got. Not to knock NIN, but Foetus has always been on a completely different level, musically and lyrically.
Oh, I definitely know how lucky I was to be there. I came in all the way from Montreal to see this. They added a second show so I changed my travel plans just to see this twice.
Amazing. This is one of my Foetus' favourite song and this version shows again how good is Thirlwell at songwriting. Still an inspiration in his own peculiar way.
Wonderful... I've always felt a bit in the minority for being a fan of Jim and all his Foetus incarnations... only got to see him live a few times but spin the vinyl often.... and loud!!
I love this very, very much. Maybe the best of all Sawdust performances, I don know. The acoustic ensemble emphasizes JGT's spleenful mood. I haven't seen anybody here begging for favorite songs in future ensemble performances, btw. Let me be the first and the last. Mr. Thirlwell, would you do JQ MURDER with this ensemble and murder my melancholia simultaneously? No correspondence will be entered.
he'll respond if you email him. i asked him for some lyrics to go on genius.com. hes very cool and nice. im not gonna give out his email address (hint: its on the back of the BLOW remix album)
@@johnb5057 Thank you for your kind words. Actually, I would be embarrassed with a response from the maestro because my question is ridiculous. GQ MURDER is a song that fits not at all in this subtle orchestral context. Which context would? The remastered ACHE (2021) may bring us closer. And btw, now and then a few words are exchanged, kind words, fortunately.
@@rudimentaal Hi, rudimental! Jeff is still hangin' out in the mindwarp pavillion, and Bewlay Brothers happens to be his favorite Bowie song. Talk about NAILing it!
@@HyperbubbleTV Hi Bubbles, you hit the nail as well, those mid-eighties albums were instrumental in uncovering my bipolar, unquiet mind. I remember JGT describing in an interview (circa 1985) his die-hard fans as the kind of weird kids that irritate you in your class in school. I always felt I had to be one of them. Jeff as well? Anyway, what a great performance, let's not forget, thirty five years after the crime.
One of my all-time favorites of Thirlwell since 1987, and this is just an amazing version!
Why are there so few people who 'get' Foetus? I am endlessly flabbergasted.
it takes a lethal dose of intelligence...
Most people have terrible taste.

The ability to think or be different is not PC

This song totally rewired my mind musically. A total paradigm crack/shock/cataclysm for me

I should have sold a kidney and been at this show.
Magnificent. It’s amazing how well these arrangements work.

Perfect
Love this treatment of the song. Amazing.
Upon it's release, Jeff listened to NAIL twice a day for 2 years straight. No wonder he's so cranky.
This one is from HOLE, actually. Listening for 2 years to thát album would have sent him straight to the mindwarp pavilion, so turned on.

@@rudimentaal Haha! JG was correct. A toast to Mr. T : Long live positive negativism!
wish i was there
Don't feel bad. I live here and didn't know about the show till a few months later.
I am repsonsable for at least 400 views ;-)
Haha you made me laugh, thank you. I’ve got at least 10😄.
