And Barking Dogs, Blind man, and that track with Gibby playing the saxaphone, come on, you know that was a good album.
Anyways, the reason I'm excited about it is because they may perform live again. I saw one of the last shows they ever did in 2001 and there were 2 drummers, gibby shredding pillows and lighting the drums on fire, strobes, men in bras, surgery footage, the whole 9 yards. And their setlist was ALL stuff from Psychic Powerless, Hairway, Locust, Rembrandt Pussyhorse, you name it, with like 2 songs from Weird Revolution obviously thrown in because that's the record they were touring off of. True, the Butthole Surfers last 2 albums were shit but don't knock them just because of that, their live shows top even the Flaming Lips in my opinion
Someone asked who was in the Butthole Surfers now a days, From Electric Larryland tour until they stopped playing live, it was Gibby Haynes, Paul Leary, and King Coffey as the core members, with 2 random guys to fill in for the 2nd drummer and bassplayer. I wouldn't see them though if they got rid of either Paul or King.
