I love what WH does. Mummy And Daddy fucking blows me away every time I hear it. It IS "difficult" music, just as Night + Fog is difficult (yet essential) viewing. WH is neccessary.

The early stuff, Birthdeath, Erector etc....it's dark ambient. Not extreme noise. WH has gone through many different styles. I like the last couple of releases. Looks like Best is out now, and WB is doing something Whitehouse.....can't wait to see what he comes up with.

I only have Birthdeath Experience but rarely listen to it.
Got a few other albums on MP3 I never listened to so far.

not that interesting of a band to me

I listened to Bird Seed and Great White Death the other day. I'm Comin' up your ass!! Great

I've often thought that WH had the balls to do songs that we dare not even imagine. Or maybe, we DO think about such songs, we conjure up some dark vile things in our dirty minds.....and WH says "fuck it, here it is then." They shine a light onto a very dark corner that is there! No pretending that the world isn't fucked or evil at times. No hiding or sweeping things under the carpet. No Celine Dion here. This is raw, pure and scary shit.....and it fucking blows me away. When WB screams "I'm coming up your ass", you know you've wanted to sing that song before. You know you like it.

So there.

Two very different albums from different eras. It took me a while to "appreciate" GWD. Seemed too literal or wankery at first. Then it hit me. Oh how it fucking hit me.

I had this ten minutes about half and hour ago. Consistency, yeah!

Toilet & Bowels 11.11.2010 12:59 PM

When did you see them and find them boring?

Glice 11.11.2010 01:33 PM

Fucking hell, I reckon that was 7 or 8 years ago now.

Toilet & Bowels 11.11.2010 03:54 PM

Which venue? I'm wondering if I was at the same show.

Glice 11.11.2010 04:30 PM

Uh... somewhere in the east end. They were headlining, Consumer Electronics played as well. Small place. I don't remember seeing anything else there. No use, sorry.

I do prefer sutcliff to whitehouse but i still love whitehouse.

they dont do gigs anymore right?
anyway, i feel i should register my support, if you listen to their stuff with headphones on they make some pretty nice stereo sounds combined with the hateful ranting.

MELHOUSE - DEDICTED TO M GIBSON

Gave me a chuckle

The Watcher 06.30.2011 01:28 PM

I have Birthdeath Experience and Great White Death, not bad, but when it coems to that early industrial stuff I much prefer TG, SPK, NWW's early stuff, Sutcliffe Jugend, MB..... I'm not put off by his works intent, I am just somewhat ambivalent - that being said I don't think it's bad......
