Film Nerd Reacts to Butthole Surfers - Pepper

[@steelspike5619]

BS was definitely an in-spirit lovechild of Mr. Bungle and Frank Zappa Also, my first exposure to them was watching the movie Brainscan with 'Who Was in My Room Last Night?'

@@steelspike5619 awwww I see the Zappa comparison. Love it. How is Brainscan, by the way? Been curious about it for awhile

@@Filmfinds1443 It's bonkers awesome. Made during the emergence of online gaming, imagining a scenario where someone gets too immersed in the game and it becomes real...? Maybe...? I can't explain it better without tainting your expectations. It's Lawnmower Man with a MUCH less predictable ending.

My first exposure was the same song on Beavis & Butthead.

99% of what the Butts did was pure genius. Live shows pre-1995 were absolutely insane.

[@Filmfinds1443]

My dad confirmed that he did in fact see them live a few times at random rock shows in LA in the 90s and said they did in fact kick ass live

[@maskedman1337]

Musically, their shows in the early 2000s were top of their game...just lacked the danger of their 80s gigs.

[@KMc-cw3qt]

@ the music lost a lot of edge but they had to evolve. Gibby looked bored as fuck standing next to that synth. Pure genius all around.

I love this - 90s joy! I fell into Butthole Surfers via Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet soundtrack - it had their track 'Whatever (I had a dream)' on it & it's a banger. I gave that soundtrack a massive workout. Good times.

[@Filmfinds1443]

Them being on that soundtrack is hilarious. And you’re not the first person I’ve heard talk about how they played that soundtrack till it melted. I saw the movie once…I don’t do Romeo and Juliet (you don’t get through high school with the last name Montague without twitching when it’s mentioned). And Baz is a lot 😂

[@rentose]

Yeah, whatever. Rock out.

SICK REACTION! SUPER cool to see people reacting to older stuff too!! These dudes are amazing! This is my son's favorite song he sounds just like gabby when he sings it! I just subscribed I'll be back for more!!

[@mathish100]

Always liked Butthole Surfers,since late 80's, or early 90's !

[@mepala6062]

Call it what you want I call it Awesome this song is still Epic

[@Frankenstompbox]

Love your analysis of the video. I grew up in Dallas where Gibbys father had a childrens TV show on local television called Mr. Peppermint. I've always thought the video has a Lee Harvey Oswald assassination vibe to it.

[@Filmfinds1443]

@@Frankenstompbox oh that’s funny, wonder if that’s why they made the video have like a public access tv vibe

Around the time woman started abandoning homelife those stories became reality . All most of the kids of that day in the inner cities had was each other . It was in the small towns too just not as much in the farming communities . And one was always trying to out do the other with reckless abandon . Then entered the skaters and BMX riders doing the most insane maneuvers with the shadow of a type of death wish always looking over thier shoulder . Later parkor came into play . It was at least way better then being zombies on fentynol .

[@rebekahtowers7130]

I never thought of BHS as grunge. They call themselves rock but I see them as advant garde, psychedelic, experimental rock.

@@rebekahtowers7130 I think as a band they aren’t grunge but I felt like this song was

Locust abortion clinic was the craziest thing they did…… I was a teenager when it came out.

Man! The talent on this album!!!

Also, ERIC ESTRADA!

[@maskedman1337]

Most BHS songs are better than "Pepper" :)
