[@SIRRUBADUBDUB]

Great performance - there's nothing like this - not in 40 years

[@macleantimmons5658]

This is one of the best guitarist performances of all time

[@treverwhoever]

Best guitarist of all time

[@RebuttalRecords]

That guitarist looks completely wasted, but Fuck can he play. A White-Hendrix-Cripple-Midget-Lesbian-Boy what stood ten foot tall with a knife!

[@elroddin76]

Best Rock band ever

[@maskedman1337]

Tom Stern is 100% using an animated version of this clip in his BHS documentary! Positive I saw a Waking Life-esque clip of this in a teaser or trailer.

[@krisscanlon4051]

I don't think they ever tried to be too polished or smoothed out like a diamond! Noise drugs and comedy but not in that order necessarily 😂

Raw! I love these Texas weirdos!

[@elroddin76]

And to think this was fucking 86! Peerless and brilliant.

When i’m on acid i feel like i’m coked up😭

[@justin10downfiftyonefifty]

@@CarsonGaines-h8c I feel like I’m tweaking towards the end of it. That uneasy feeling in my stomach and head. Usually wishing it would end sooner in that part of it. Good times

Its Pinkus ??

[@Dbzmad34222]

You probably already know but yeah it's pinkus

[@averagewhiteman9248]

@@Dbzmad34222 somewhere near this time they were looking for new bassist but thats definitely pinkus, the last guy got booted because he just didnt fit in or play the right shit

[@morgellon7877]

@@averagewhiteman9248 Pinkus joined in '86 and I'm pretty sure he was there for the remainder of the band's history. Kramer was right before him; I don't think he was booted, and was only committed for a temporary stint. They had a lot of guys before him. Kramer's record label put out the latest Paul Leary album, and I guess they're all still friends with him. Kramer has some of the best interviews about that time; I think he was pretty sober most of the time, so he has a pretty solid recollection, and he has a funny way of putting things.

[@morgellon7877]

@@averagewhiteman9248 Apparently on my phone I can only choose between pasting a quote by Kramer or a link to the interview (more of a long-winded narrative, really, but all the better) so I'll just paste the former and you can find the latter (if you put quotation marks around what you're searching you'll find it): "An hour later, the gymnasium is packed solid with future oil company executives dressed in their Sunday best. This will not end well. The show begins (as usual) with a cacophonous howling of drums. I mount the stage with my bass guitar and as I plug it into the amp, I see Gibby crouched behind it in a polka dot dress, his hair a mass of clothespins, his face smeared with red lipstick. Clenched in his left fist like a grenade is a bottle marked “flammable.” In his right hand is a Bic lighter. He looks me in the eye. He is not smiling. I am afraid."
