Genesis P-Orridge "Wrecker of Civilization" Interview (2002)

[@he962]

An interesting life lived. Genesis engaged me on a train to Brighton in 1983 with an invitation to attend an event with William Burroughs. He was charming and magical. Hope his kids are OK.

[@olivere5497]

Could you explain a little more? Whats trippy is that it was about 20 years between you meeting him and that interview, but now even late night Channel 4 of the 90s is a vintage by gone age we yearn for too.

[@Temu69recordsdotcom]

​@@olivere5497my ex's mom grew up in Lawrence,KS and talked about how he'd let her come over to play with his cats. Lmao

[@MMDAMV]

Rest well, dear revolutionary. I needn't really understand them to respect them very much as an artist.

[@baronsaturday9529]

But their thoughts were amazingly inspiring...

[@janllh24]

Hard to believe that the UK used to produce such human beings, fare forward traveller

[@misanthrophex]

When the UK was truly British...

[@crushingalldeceivers]

I disagreed with most everything about the man, but I respected him as an artist at the end of the day. RIP Genesis.

[@jonesy2111]

Probably the most bizarre dude of all time and that is quite an accomplishment in these days. Rest in pieces

[@yourmom9828]

Look to Christopher Rage

[@schattenheim]

So sad the End ....RIP ... he did finaly find the notes on his violin

[@baronsaturday9529]

The soul goes on, on to the next adventure..!

[@richardcrook2112]

Not so much thinking outside the box, as denying the box's very existence.

[@subsamadhi]

definitely interesting. hes this close to being totally insane but makes sense on some level.

[@scottyspliffen7421]

Him and Manson def on that fucking level lol rip to both of em

[@baronsaturday9529]

Trippy, but making sense in a weird way..

[@zenbuddah420]

Genesis is the truth, the way and the life

[@baronsaturday9529]

When the True King's murderers are allowed to roam free a 1000 Magicians arise in the land.... Music Inflames Temperament!

[@MYKEPSYCH]

Always interesting

[@Zenjedi99v2]

Blessed be Godstar.

[@precarious333music]

RIP. Thanks go to Metzger for this great little interview.

[@thursdayafternoon7015]

Rest in Power.

[@redsamson5185]

Long Live Genesis P-Orridge!!!

[@maIwaldron]

So many insights. Travel free Gen.

[@leticiavasquez8566]

Im pretty sure they called Cosey that...? Or the whole band... but not just P-Orridge.

[@racheltheehermit7314]

Why did they cut out the part where Genesis asks to see the interviewer’s manager?

[@baronsaturday9529]

Do you remember why did he wanted to see him?

[@carlgman273]

@3:00 that nervous left thumb-left forefinger movement

[@johnlarrazabal7494]

Definitely inspired Damian Hirst.

[@cestulvarzebuskal8643]

1:06 what is he doing?!

[@wyrmallanzane]

I met Metzger ONCE in 2009 in Chicago backstage after TG. He thought he was some sort of "TG guard dog" or something! I found him rather unappealing (almost to the point of disgust). To this day it baffles me what Gen sees in him...

[@RatatRatR]

Metzger's a pretty obvious hanger-on, but whatever. He gets the word out about some stuff.

[@timleopardxolo]

Gen loved nothing more than a fanatical sycophant, and Metzger was King Bumsucker.

[@supaburger]

RIP

[@curtislovecraft2389]

I shared some time and some words with him once..I would like to add that ..nothing is right and nothing is wrong

[@jocksilver7]

no sound.

[@mark-yj5sg]

He was a sick Gnostic Wizard

[@olivere5497]

1999 not 2002.

RIP:NAM

[@janefrancis3496]

Ok so, on one level you can take his disgusting s and m antics, so long as he's only doing it to himself, but let's not pretend it's art, and lets not forget he practised this stuff on children.

[@cosmickeystomycreationandtimes]

any sources for this claim that don't come from the hilarious Channel 4 debacle? Also, define art.

[@janefrancis3496]

Art? Not what he was doing and saying it was. And sources who were there. Were you?

[@baronsaturday9529]

Hoe je het ook wilt noemen, z'n werk stemt tot nadenken.. Iets wat de meeste 'artiesten' niet doen.

[@balladofcoseypolar4711]

[@onewayout8720]

!!!

[@LsBrigandes]

Using a porn and immoral behavior under the guise of "art" is disgusting. this guy was a perverse soul! He needed Jesus !

[@DoctorBastard]

The bible endorses slavery so you can fuck off trying to claim some sort of moral high ground.

[@surgicalcreativity]

Or Jesus needed him.

[@gtaylor1812]

He/she/it, most definitely did. Too much LSD for this fruitloop.

[@tedl7425]

He was a force in Throbbing Gristle. Then he was just a total fuck up. Used other people to further himself. Takes away from his contributions.

[@leticiavasquez8566]

Indeed. In this very interview he is taking credit for things that Cosey Fanni Tutti was actually responsible for...like the tampons and the porn collage. I love what P-Orridge did of course but find them a bit narcissistic in this interview. And the media only listened to him for decades. Never mind the woman. Ugh. Read Art Sex Music by Cosey...

[@mrbelvedere1632]

You can call these people many things but artist isn't one of them.

[@surgicalcreativity]

And how do you define the “artist”?

[@noahdyedotcom]

sicccccc

[@redsamson5185]

Long Live Genesis P-Orridge!!!

[@baronsaturday9529]

Yeah.. the King is dead, long live the King!

[@mikenorledge4110]

I don't know anything about gen' personal life but he was really cool to me, my friend anton newcombe (bjm) created an whole album dedicated to mister p'orridge and my other friend muddles invented the cinematography/ graphics design for anton' music
