[@djfan7310]

Greatest industrial band in the world...EVER!

[@oldpunkster]

This is a great song....very good noise for sure. the puppies know all about noise. That is was industrial is all about. mixing the samples and powerful music and noise and anger. been listening for 20 yrs to the stuff.

[@Postmortementrails]

His voice is so beautiful.

[@JoshBest]

i went to this one. this song was one of the best performances of the night!

[@cal440]

ogre changed my life!greets from germany

[@llamaspit3838]

dont know why so many are thumbing this comment down its true he is a hiphop fan

[@xBlackOrgasm]

Fucking love this song... I love how Ogre is trying to sing, its so beautiful.

[@FuckingSeeta]

His voice...i love it...

[@Aphroditexx]

I love the old stuff, and the new. SP still remains great.

[@talk242]

For me, Skinny Puppy is the best band in the world. I mean for me.

[@WhatTheHellIsSka]

This is the first Skinny Puppy song I've ever heard (4 days ago). And it is awesome. Especially his vocals. Do they really sound like that all the time? That's fucking amazing.!

[@s1pinup]

Thats been something he has done since the eighties, also he happens to be quite the fan of hip hop!

[@JaneInCatland]

Thanks for clarifying what you meant markohio. I agree that Puppy is exceptional in not only the way they structure their lyrics, but also the way they are sung. For example, 'First Aid' comes to mind when I think of the way Ogre emphasises the "I" "S" & "E" sounds in the line "monogomY SitS uneaSilY, IcE that don't hEat frEEZE". The way that's pronounced really adds to the mood & intent of the lyrics. It gives it a hissing & cold like effect. Ogre is bloody brilliant I tell ya! & sexy too ;)

[@Juliosdon]

I love the song, one of my favorites from the album.

[@JaneInCatland]

Thanks totenhosen for your response. I think Puppy's past couple tours have still had that blood, guts & gore aspect, just presented in a different way than the past. While I don't agree 100% with your inital post, I did find the 'cookie monster' comment funny. Ogre would sound so cute if he sang "C is for Cookie". lol! But seriously, I always appreciate what they do. They're one of the best bands around IMO. I really love Ogre's vocals on this track & think the song is really strong. Brap on :)

[@Arkasai]

I like it quite a lot myself. One of my favorites off "Greater Wrong of the Right."

[@EricArtman]

I've been a fan of Skinny Puppy almost two decades. They're amazing as ever (with the Mythrus tour too). Fortunately (Unfortunate for some) their music will always only appeal to people who are open to their creative energy. This is an amazing song and performance.

[@skinnypuppy3007]

this is fav skinny puppy song!!!!!!!!! EmpTe Rox!!!!!!

[@Postmortementrails]

I love his outfit too..

[@Bleskojd]

Beatiful. This song can always drive me to the hollow hole. My fav from SP ;) Industrial is the best -.-

[@SuperSadistHamada]

I miss the old skinny puppy

[@JoshBest]

In my opinion, that was thier best album so far.

[@llamaspit3838]

yes they are a blast live

[@montsetse]

Im still glad the their jammin, touring and cranking out cd's..same with Frontline, kmfdm, thrill kill kult..

[@Kelavmeister]

i actually synced this with the Studio version, they stayed perfectly on beat and everything with the studio version, i was SO surprised...

[@pointyhatgnome]

It's one of my favorites. Quite honestly, I think a lot of their really old stuff sometimes just sounds like noise. Not all of it, but quite a bit of it. Why so many people prefer noise to this, I will never know.

[@Elganko]

Big cheers to Arkasai for uploading this masterpiece! great quality and sound, which I had the DVD myself.

[@c0c0c0]

Me too. Life changing!

[@dayanasoadfan]

if anyone hates or dislikes them then dont even watch the vid or bother to leave a comment

[@stuffedmannequin]

N-N-N-N-NOSTALGIA!

[@hugomartinsphoto]

Epic stuff! Thank you for sharing!

[@TheJameslehr]

Stage scenario reminds me of "From Beyond" by H.P. Lovecraft. Impeccable!

[@Postmortementrails]

I looveeee Nivek Ogre...he's so fucking beautiful.

[@plumbc]

NO! We come in peace

[@user-io2yi8wh2m]

Beat my head to wake up cause I feel as if I'm sleeping Past is in the heart and I am waiting for the rhythm feed The holy jaws no saying pain is the answer after all is gone The story leaves me feeling empty and all alone it leaves Me feeling empty breathe we are all animals inside free the Spirit is alive to guide us we're all alone and really feeling Empty we're all alone when all revenge falls apart taken a Step back from the start leaves me feeling empty it

[@doom0850]

@TheNyteChyld Yes, this is part of a DVD. This whole show is actually the DVD.

[@go_rizzo_grow]

this is a fucking great song

[@llamaspit3838]

jesus been a year since a comment on this well just thought i would break the ice

[@mrkb2k]

forever

[@JaneInCatland]

whoops, sorry totenhosen, that was me (JaneInCatland) replying, i was just signed in to my other account.

[@roleismos]

is not what i waiting!!

[@noodlemac]

This song fuking rocks

[@ABBATributeNZ]

You know, I'm sure that I had a pair of goggles like that in Primary school...

[@noahtw96]

i think mythmaker was great and i went to this greater wrong of the right tour. i met these guys and they are really cool

[@magwaaf]

actually im looking to see him in repo! he's in a video on youtube wearing a facemask with long hair the video is called at the opera tonight.

[@derjones636]

Too bad they're not doing this anymore :(

[@Elganko]

Yeah, it's combined from several shots, most live compilations like these are.

[@endlessrawr]

omg dont even say that. industrial music, is in fact music. i think i know what you mean by anti-music, but it is indeed music, it just isn't mainstream and regurgitated like most music is. they come out with good beats. life is music, birds singing, are music. industrial music, is not noise. NOISE, or NOIZE music, is NOISE. but it is still music. have some respect for the hard trying work that goes along with creativity :)

[@squareextension]

I've noticed that after 3:00 his "head" is on and up at the same time, depending on the camera view.

[@pointyhatgnome]

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I LOVE noise. I listen to lots of noise-sampling artists like Autechre and Aphex Twin. I'm not talking about noise like sounds that are sampled. I sample sounds myself to make music. I'm merely talking about mindless BOOM CLASH noise that's just trying to be as loud and heavy as it can. Like some forms of really mindless metal. I'm not saying all their old stuff is like that, but I think that they've gotten more sophisticated as time has gone by.

[@DjKnJkDjK]

I uploaded the album version of this (:

[@JaneInCatland]

"and lyrics that didn't seem to mean anything". Can you clarify that? If you meant the lyrics were hard to understand, than I can agree to that. But if you really mean the lyrics didn't seem to mean anything, you should take a deeper listen. Songs like 'First Aid', 'Deep Down Trauma Hounds', 'Testure', 'VX Gas Attack', (and too many more to mention), meant A LOT lyrically! Ogre is a genuis of a poet!

[@Kelavmeister]

well right, cause its sampling, you cant expect cEvin to hit the enter key on his Macbook every time a sample is supposed to come up

[@pointyhatgnome]

As do I. I've never really talked to anyone about it, and I'm sure if I did they'd make me see someone who'd blame it on chemical imbalance, but I know there must be more to it.

[@vulnikkura1735]

I agree. I think it looks cool. xD

[@stuffedmannequin]

Did you notice, in some shots his mask is covering his face and others its on top of his head

[@michahartdark1752]

Eh der boss

[@shawnhollern]

They cleaned up between The Process and The greater wrong of the right. The most they do these days is weed. Drugs was one of the reason the band broke up durring the making of The process. When they got back together they'd cleaned themselves up.

[@lilashioyo]

im thinking this is a close favorite. mhmm mhmm.

[@TheNyteChyld]

Sorry I'm sure this has been answered already but I'm not looking back to find the answer, is this show on dvd? Be great if it was.

[@Jflux69]

The studio version of this song sounds limp in comparison to the live version. I don't know why they don't use a live drummer in their studio more often....

[@ieyasu1603]

It says there that this is mixed footage from two shows.

[@bca327]

Right - when I listen to a track like Ugli all I can think is what a damn shame they wrote such a bubble-gum pop song with over-reaching mass appeal.

[@ChildOfSaturnMusic]

He isn't necessarily lip syncing. I see what you're talking about, but I also noticed his hat is sometimes upright and sometimes in front of his eyes between different camera angles. I think it's just a sloppy video edit job, from what I can tell.

[@electronicbrainpan]

So I was wondering, is there any meaning behind the new, funkily misspellt song names, or is that just for...fun?

[@TheEmalay]

electro-industrial

[@deathmauler181]

Molotov ur gonna go see them when they come to montreal nov 14?

[@chickenluva1]

how does Ogre make his voice all distorted liek that

[@pancerz1]

so tell me, were they better back when they started and are they just a bunch of addicts now?

[@Demention13]

well part of the reason that the old was better than the new was probably Dwayne Goettel,and as it is dead guys can't really be in bands. The greats just don't live as long as they should

[@TheSic9]

Lost in the mix! Industrial Pink Floyd

[@Hematemesis]

Industrial is supposed to be noise, are you familiar with the concept of anti-music?

[@pointyhatgnome]

You're right. What the hell is up with that?

[@charlesneyando33]

Lately I noticed I wanna kill myself for no bloody reason, like I'm going insane, I hardly sleep at all even If I use sleeping pills, This song somewhat describes how I feel

[@AustinKronix]

hahahah i agree man...but that probably wont happen either...lol.

[@mogstah]

I would pay someone to make swampycricket not exist.

[@pointyhatgnome]

Of course industrial is supposed to be noisy. Sometimes it's just not very intelligent noise, though. Like I said above, I love noise, so you're really taking my comment the wrong way. I just think that they've gotten way more sophisticated as time has gone by.

[@alexissaxon3504]

:x3

[@MakkaPakka666]

@dalebsorry mythmaker kills as well

[@9ToesRicc]

chivo!

[@ezemvn]

are this guys industrial rock? i'm quite new to this genre, would appreciate a good explanation

[@augustjacob287]

Okay I will try to explain a bit. They are industrial for sure I am not sure I would put them in the industrial rock group perhaps depending on the album you could. They sort of made it mainstream before it became mainstream. I suppose you would have to say that Nine inch nails made it MAINSTREAM but Trent copied one of Skinny puppies songs, Dig it. Which became Down in it... The idea of the Industrial sounds was that we had moved into the industrial era but they music had not so it is music that fits the sound of machines and such. TG is one of the first ones to carry the industrial sound.

[@alexissaxon3504]

Yessss :3

[@ezemvn]

@@alexissaxon3504 finally, an answer after 12 years.

[@Bluehawk2008]

I'm not a big fan of the way Ogre waves his hand around like he's rapping lol

[@arfuswrinkledinks]

this is so emo

[@TeenBrun]

Ogre is sexy, hahaha

[@Bluehawk2008]

I never said it was anything new, I just said I don't like it, especially since its largely the only movement he does while delivering his lines.

[@anamethat]

i think it's cool dude...at least he does something original instead of leaning on the mic stand.

[@d1g1t4ler]

Wipe off mother's milk first. Your opinion is unnecessary.

[@sunsunnydayz]

He's lip syncing. On 2:48 you can tell. He's not singing. He's voice is heard first and the mic not even by his mouth. I'm a fan of SP. I was enjoying the vid until that part. But oh well everyone does it

[@TheEmalay]

hipster.

[@sickish]

this blows
