Butthole Surfers - Wooden Song

[@Bradyvilleboy]

These guys might be the most unappreciated band ever.

[@bryamuuareme329]

@@thehumbleboss1848 is there even a thing as "just" on acid? 🤔

[@annakeye]

The people who know them appreciate them. It seems them and Hüsker Dü are the most often cited as biggest influences on many bands.

[@Eric-gv4di]

Yeah the only song that seemed to get real mainstream fame is Pepper but they have so many amazing tracks. I think Cough Syrup is my current favorite

[@Laneganswake]

John Frusciante was here

[@11spike7]

About 20 years ago, my wife and I met Gibby in a bar. He told this story about how when he was a kid, he made a kite and flew it so high that it attracted aliens. (As in from outer-space) Someone asked him what his home-made kite was constructed from. He replied "Fish butts"

[@beeblebooble4411]

I met him at Lollapalooza. I said, "Hey, what's up, Gibby?" He replied; "Wiped my ass with the Mona Lisa. Christopher Columbus, burning inside."

[@patrickfoster4586]

Leary is the most interesting guitarist around and he gets no recognition. BHS Rules!

[@Teabonesteak]

Gotta lay off the LSD.

[@MO-314]

Somewhere I read he was named for being in the top 100? greatest guitarest of all time. Either way he's fucking awesome, undeniable

[@NotAnAstronaut2k]

Real ones recognize him, he's one of the best ever IMO.

[@glenbellefonte9620]

To tell ya the truth I actually hear a lot of people bring up how underrated and great he is. I think he is great don't get me wrong

[@remobalcells4332]

Ditto

[@iwishiwas88]

the Butthole Surfers have been my favorite band for a long time. they were one of the first bands i started listening to. i'm pretty sure they will always be my favorite.

[@RebuttalRecords]

Lady Sniff is still my all time favorite.

[@Lildemonzins]

Same here man. There is no other band, nor will there be another band like the Butthole Surfers

[@tanveerhasan2382]

Wise choice

[@chonqmonk]

Me too homie.

[@crackawood]

Lady Sniff is the first song I heard from them on college radio in Odessa, TX when I was 12. The college student DJ said 'here's a song from a great band from here in Texas' then he said the Butthole Surfers and I laughed uncontrollably as the farts and vomit in the song were playing

[@TheMusicRoomWA]

Did this song last night at open mic. It's a real gem

[@Tarsus-y4d]

This band is never unappreciated or underated in any part of the universe

[@NotAnAstronaut2k]

They actually are , listened to their whole discography it's genius masked with chaos, drugs and lunacy .. some people might only know them from the song pepper or as the band with a weird name, to me they are very underrated, but atleast rock bands they influenced truly acknowledged them

[@curtis866]

Best band ever , love them. Interesting, fun , sometimes funny and kick ass . Incredibly original and creative. Feel very lucky to of discovered them . Only wish I could of seen them live . Very talented band

[@stuzaza]

leary is a genius

[@Rodan100]

Fuckin musical legend.

[@petethepirate730]

I got to work with Paul at willie nelsons studios while he was producing a meat puppets album. It was him and stuart sullivan. I was a production assistant and got my internship there. Gibby would show up sometime and mess around with some stuff. Cool guy. Fun times! This was right after they produced Sublimes album. Paul was cool as hell and didn't act all goofy like he does in these interviews and videos. Lots of bud being smoked.

[@floydismydog]

this is the best version, his being so Wooden is apt considering the song

[@mikefinney423]

I have no idea why....but this song regularly pops into my head. Even with not hearing it for years, it will just randomly appear in my head...especially the second verse.

[@bigsexyinsect]

I remember they did this song live on Head bangers Ball: Riki Rachtman said he was embarassed, Gibby said "and we're sittin' here next to you dude!"

[@S2Cents]

Two of a kind. One of the all time great lead singer/lead guitarist combos.

[@b2xlcf666]

Reminds of my youth !!!!! Smells like cinnamon.... classic!

[@philmaurer7191]

Such an epic album

[@SgtNateHigers]

One of the best acts ever to come from Texas imo.

[@msamour]

Oh man! I remember this song. I didn't know it was them. Right on! Brings me back.

[@christianantonio9505]

One of my absolute favourite bands. Cool guys! Gibby is such a funny and intelligent fella and a great artist

[@MrSeezero]

I can't believe that I missed this version. I watched almost all the 120 Minutes episodes around the time that the album that this song was on was released. I really like this version.

[@HazeMotes]

Such a brilliant performance! I love the sharp contrast of their moods!

[@noodlehat3250]

Leary has the best facial expressions in rock

[@asong4thedead]

Him and Dean Ween

[@samskyrider88]

Love these guys and Paul Leary was a wild man on acid

[@UncleGhoulieTv313]

I watched this air.. recorded it on VHS. Good times.

[@Devilman_001]

When u trippin balls but still gotta play the song

[@EvilEyeGypsy]

"Happy birthday Ricky, .... you're gonna die".

Love this album, I heard it for the first time in 2003 from my girlfriend. I was 22 , obviously still love them

[@lancezimmerman5809]

GREAT SONG, LOVE THE GUITAR AND THE LYRICS

[@Alewind1234]

Gibby reminds me the doctor Gonzo of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas...greaat song...great acid!!!

[@jenniferswest]

I love this performance.

[@BobbyFireRadio]

So good man

[@KempoSensei]

I was at that Gardner Mass show as well. Great show. Scott Wielan from STP kicked some dudes ass in the crowd. Butthole Surfers were awesome though.

[@pav7997]

I saw this on MTv live and it's been burned in my memory ever since. Can't believe it's on here. MTv used to be so cool back in the day

[@darthanddedeu2580]

No instead of creating trends they chase advertising When you create trends you don't need to look for advertising, they find you.

[@Tron76]

Hurry Gurdy Man. Sweat Loaf. Goofys concern. So many good songs

[@darienhigh]

So much acid that was ingested listening to these musical geniuses

[@Dudleymiddleton]

Geniuses. Nothing less. Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary.

[@goldenhog]

[@iSapien1956672]

I remember the day after this aired, I saw some friends and they told me about this performance and I thought they were lying because they knew I was such a rabid Butthole Surfers fan and it wasn’t until years later I saw this video and realized they were telling the truth

[@JeffreyDowners]

Waouuuh!!! Scary! Paul Leary's best performance ever!

[@dasgemuse]

my favorite surfers song.

[@syscothong]

@MasterSplinterP1 yeah but he's doing hammer ons and pull offs and I can't tell when and how he's doing with them exactly.

[@charlespackard]

I am posting again of a post I posted two years ago, that is 2014. So, I saw BHS play in Seattle in 2010. And ever since that date I dropped out of school, started a religion the became a catholic, failed at that, then started a drug habit with meth in 2012 11/22/2012.. and now I am on probation living in Capitol Hell, where my court approved housing is . Now i SHARE THIS SONG ON FACEBOOK

[@RebuttalRecords]

Didn't your parents ever tell you Not to go to a BHS concert while on acid?

[@Stumblingfreak]

I would go no other way..

[@MrSpooN]

amazing !!

[@ericlee1055]

Find the live version if you can..it's epic.

[@staticxboy3000]

This is such a deep track .

[@tracksuitjim]

i love when smart people do drugs and not just fools who make us all look bad. these two men are just awesome. even while doing something like this they make it so fucking insane in a unique way/

[@christy7698]

That was hilarious!😜

[@italiaboy1123]

saying these guys aren't deep is like saying the sun isn't bright. it would take me way too long to explain to ignorant people that these guys's songs are generally all deep lyrically and emotionally, so just go with it. kthanksbro. now if you said they were a little bit way too out there for you, that's a completely opposite thing, and i think they are a little bit too out there for the general public. but that doesn't make them bad, it just makes them hard to listen to and follow 4 those peeps

[@RebuttalRecords]

Pure genius. To write and perform such fucked-up, twisted, and comical music takes a shitload of talent.

[@ASM881]

This was the first song I learned to play on acoustic guitar.

[@tanveerhasan2382]

Nice

[@jahstinmusic]

Trollin hard!

[@charlespackard]

Favorite Song, like this recording ... wish I knew the date? Guessing 1994 or 1993? Saw Paul Leary in Seattle I think 2010, he was aged which scarred me, as I am aging too, reason the liking this song, we are a all one step away to death. Remember that night, the stranger we me on the internet, him hitting the sweet tasting gas, Nitrous oxide. Saw Paul, talked to him but never took a picture, he handed a $20 to a homeless chick near the Showbox, And I automatically, grabbed my wallet and gave her a buck. That night I almost got kicked out of the showbox, and I think I was recording something, Mnnn time for me to upload something.

[@congasious]

Unique band!!!

Sorry just this one. I was lucky enough to download it because when i went looking for it again they had removed it. But there are a couple of BS crazy things around here. Cheers m8

[@manonthemoon9034]

Take me Break me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll cry Go with me Show me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll die Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans Into the kitchen, and out the back gate Well I know it sounds strange But It could be the other way Round to the ground where I know I must stay Take me Break me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll cry Go with me Show me Tell me a good one And maybe I'll die Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans Circled in secrets and playing a game Well I know it sounds strange But It could be the other way Round in a town where they don't know your name

[@riversutcliffe9520]

I want to like but it's likes is 666. But really do like this song & the band.

it would be nice to find a lesson on this...does anyone know where I can find one?

[@MaydayCavalier]

i saw a yellow goblin in my head with gold viking horns like flavor flav one time on a bad trip. adam sandler had a white robe on and his head turned into a cherry and his robe turned into whipped cream. worst trip of my life. i've had some good ones back in my day check out my skate video. cop pulls out a gun butthole surfers are a good band

[@Butown]

such an underrated band

[@ZoophPA]

I want whatever they're on.

[@willymack44]

bitching song. thanks for posting

[@collinholdfield3894]

we love you GIBBY

[@sc13ntific]

Truthfully, with these guys, it was probably both

[@mikeystool]

Music is to make ya feel something, if ya don't feel something, move on..bhs move me..I'm musician as well, I appreciate lots of different kinds, and there is talent in creating your own sound and ideas. These guys do just that, there's noone like them. Paul leary can jam btw, besides producing some great records for other artists.

[@pspiddy]

Is it just me or is Gibby being so stoic the funniest part of this? Not sure if I'm seeing shit that isn't there or it was deliberate. Then again, if I have to ask I probably know the answer...

[@pdurrr7413]

I would guess he's high as a fucking kite on cocaine. I think he was into speedballs around this time

[@vylkyl]

Paul Leary 's nutz brah .

[@cobyblack]

@aeronpanick thank you very much for your answer, your statement makes sense and explains a lot, I can't stand pakistani music even more than noise, I guess I am kind of authentic but classic rock records fan, as you mentioned while it is natural for many people, is it the matter of habit for other? so is it possible to get used to it? cause LSD is too expensive... :D I don't want to sound cocky and lame but I can enjoy myself without drug abuse, at least for now :D

[@zenmarqzenway]

And people always think that Gibby is the one that brings all the weirdness to the band.

[@BankshotProductions]

i promise........ numba 8! perfffffeuckt!!!! hillarious! great. fucking. job. revenge story!!!!!!!! fuck bankey!!! lmfao!!!!!!!

[@krunnemunnema]

mooi man

[@LucidDream]

@punkmom1969 I'm not sure if he was on acid or not during this taping...but it seems a lot of people think they were always on acid. Don't get me wrong, they did do a lot of acid...but their personalities aren't drastically different when they aren't on it anyway. I think you could be right about Paul, as far as him being bored...I just think he doesn't like to be too serious about what he is doing. Such as maybe he refuses to come perform and be ordinary, like some kind of puppet.

[@kpooh256]

Butthole Surfers have a lot of subtle humour in their albums. In my opinion it is no mistake that this song is #2 on the album. A few years earlier all the hair metal bands had to have a power ballad as track 2....bands were forced to do this...and it was pretty crappy. I'm convinced that tune is a satire of the late 80's early 90's power ballad.

[@sc13ntific]

The LSD is strong with this one

[@macky1660]

I can tell Gibby and Paul has had enough of this corporate shit.

[@hupajupa]

This is clear evidence that drugs really aint so bad after all.

[@BankshotProductions]

oooops don't stare! hahahaha :)

[@cobyblack]

@iwishiwas88 hi, I guess you like every song they have made, so I want to ask you something, well I like lighter songs like this one very much, but I can't stand when they play some weird songs, which are out of tune, they're just having fun on stage an while making and try to be cool, and they are cool, but for me it is painful to listen, it feels unpleasant and it doesn't move me at all, do you have to be on drugs to enjoy it or is it just natural for some people?

[@RebuttalRecords]

To deliberately play music off key consistently time and time again takes much talent. Leary is one hell of a talented guitar player IMO.

[@RebuttalRecords]

Paul Leary is the Trey Parker of music.
