Butthole Surfers 'Pepper' 1996 live in studio

[@Xardox17]

They somehow held it all together long enough to get through the song live. Their concerts are famous for being real experiences. Very underrated band. The drummer is one of the best solid rhythm keepers of the skill.

[@danielshevlin4159]

I thought they had two drummers? siblings?

Whom are you listening to (or getting) your ratings from?

[@ledfloyd9035]

Yeah... Thing is you name your band butthole surfers you're probably gonna remain underrated. Music producers don't even want to attempt to market that.

[@coffeewithkarlie]

@@ledfloyd9035 exactly :/ sucks but it’s understandable

[@ledfloyd9035]

@@coffeewithkarlie yeah it is a shame. Just imagine if labels signed people for their music rather than their image. The butthole surfers never got too big, but it's because of them we had nirvana and alice in chains. Imagine all the bands that got shot down that would have inspired true rock bands, or even been gods of rock themselves. Of course it's more profitable to get some generic drone with no personality to sing a cookie cutter song written by 8 people once every 4 years. Unfortunately the state of *most* music today is pitiful.

[@johnspence9718]

I love this band & this song, thanks to all involved & thank you for posting, but I miss the earlier days with 2 drummers, the bullhorn, Paul on the tuba. Man, they just went off live back in the early 80's. But times do change, & I guess they had nothing to lose in the punk days. They were rocking out before Sonic Youth, Jane's Addiction & all those that followed. The B.S. were like the Texas answer to Flipper. If you dig these guys/girls, and can handle the early live shows, check out the early Flipper with Will Shatter & Bruce Loose, RIP another loss to an OD.

[@RavenWillliams]

Already know you’re credible because you mention Janes Addiction. My favourite band 100%

I can see a direct thread from the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" into Butthole Surfers "Pepper" The one chord drone and the hypnotic hip-hop inspired drum are free LSD for the mind.

Always loved these guys saw them way back when on the Lollapalooza tour you could see where Perry Farrell got the idea of using his voice effects from (I believe) Gibby called this "Gibbytronics" Perry followed suit it had to be where he got the idea from unless I'm wrong because the Butthole Surfers were before Jane's Addiction anyway I loved both bands although I don't listen to Jane's Addiction anymore but I still listen to the Butthole Surfers-

[@josejones7025]

Loser came out in 93 and I think this came out in 95-96? They had to have been at the least "inspired" by Beck's tune. They're very similar (obviously)

+Darrin Connor the drum beat is about the same, but I can see how you think the rest of the song sounds similar. But for sure the drums are very close.

[@davidjameschamberlain]

+Jake Connelly a lot of songs in the 90s had variations of that same beat

This was actually a response song to "Loser." They accused Beck of ripping them off, so they ripped him off back.

Sounds about right. It could be a boss mini rack delay(used to own one), as it really has the time adjustment dial that does similar fx, the kaos pad also would explain a lot.
