Skinny Puppy's Ogre - Interview (1992 Request Video)

[@danielkelley7548]

"Once again the toll lies quiet." As a fellow magician and musician, I've got lots of love for Ogre.

watching again 31 years later. Grew up in So Cal and always called into this show.

His Canadian accent seems stronger in this than in some more recent interviews!

[@winternightmarecrochet]

He's lived in the US most his life that's why!

Nicest guy in person! I watched Request Video everyday after work and have the Fk'd up Last right CD the caller asked about. Still have it, bought a 2nd "quality controlled" version too

Are all of the tracks fucked on it, they start half way through songs?

That mangled CD might end up being a highly sought after collectors item.

Nice to see again. I was there and still have the very cd they show (even with that ripped sticker)

This was during the really turbulent years of Skinny Puppy when the heroin and infighting were finally taking its tool on the band.

[@corticallarvae]

Also the best musickally Dwyane was doing aduck welt became Ritalin then oghre and the tear garden got its best albums from this period... it wasn't just heroin it was coke and personality conflicts amplified by immense success... natural disasters eating albums is infuriating and can only make things worse but skinny puppy as ogre cevin and dwayne were drifting in different directions which record labels intesified.....while they were stretched to thin obligation wise.. if you ask cevin Dwayne was the glue that held them together experimentally and interpersonally with in the band that may be true but cevin seems to have been the humble grinding propulsion that kept them going while grounded..Dwayne and Ken marshal and Dave rave Ogilvie were the experimental forces at play as well as cevin and ogre. Cevin still plays very regularly at a jazz club down that is prominent for provocative levels of talent.. when ogre became a practicing esotericist he had to make some tough choices that we all do. That is to pursue the hga and risk madness, unencumbered by physical comforts...substance abuse being one of those. That lautréamont armchair peering is much more dangerous than the doing.. Too dark park is cynical and untrusting Last rights is allegorical, as well as tiered reflection upon self... drug abuse being the obvious it also a report from where subconscious envelope unravels, and finally a pathworking where guiltman is the lurker on the threshold....it's a thoth deck pathworking ritual performed frequently enough that the acephalos banishing of the (PGM) would take hold on the first performance and strip everything away over and over regardless of the entelechy that was subsisting in some corner ogres being... it was a gnostic mass for those with eyes to see... it very jack parsons and frater achad at that... ;) anassemblage that worked because the revelation was true... it wasn't as stripped down a Spare but deserves credit right next to coil TG PTV and crashworship and kenneth anger for pulling a rite off in public..

I was at the "Tampa show" he was talking about, the show was at Janus Landing in Saint Petersburg which is part of the Tampa Bay area. In a much more recent interview Ogre went into detail about that and it's a very different story than what he's saying here... but I understand why he had to spin it the way he did at the time of this interview.

I find it really interesting he's said what I have said exactly about offensive or shocking content being healthy challenging the mind.

He's definitely on dope here. The itching is a give away.

[@codyjohnson4174]

All great artists from the 90s were, actually, they were more original and experimental because of the drugs, and if you don’t think so and hate on it, well, not saying you’re in the wrong because addiction takes a hard hit on your mind and soul and it’s a better life choice to not do them, that being said, the creative process when influenced by being high on substances really makes bare more of your soul and takes anxieties away or overthinking on certain aspects, and causes more of an exploration on sounds, melodies, lyrics, and over all path that might connect to a good majority of people out there that have many different things that shape their life or lifestyle, such as partying, experimentation, sex, designing, group activities, maybe some things more sinister (not my lifestyle personally) or some more on a spiritual/religious journey. Overall, drug use can lead to great creativity and fun times, IF you can keep grasp on life and importantly, health and not over abuse to where nothing else but the drugs matter, then that’s a very dark place that usually only ends in one way. A legend of a man with a brilliant mind named Dr. Hunter S Thompson can relay this, many directors have said actors, such as Robert downy jr, was more of an artist while on drugs, and don’t even have to mention legends in music, from this time period as well to, as Kurt cobain, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, Scott weiland, Trent reznor, Peter Steele, and many, many more musicians. Am I advocating to “Do drugs”? No, just explaining for some people, that already are great artists, expands the boundaries of creativity and innovation, along with originality and depth, they help and influence in that matter

[@wentzr]

I knew i wouldnt have to scroll far for this comment. 🙄

[@Abruzzo333]

Sad but true. I've just been around so many addicts in the last 20 years and even lost a couple friends to dope.

[@wentzr]

@@Abruzzo333 my condolences. I’ve witnessed the same. The compulsive itching, startling loud outbursts of laughter as well as the assured declaration of having conquered their personal challenges. I really feel for people entrapped in that cycle.

Last Rights has some great songs but half of it is hard to even listen to. its definitely their most bleak album.

[@holden6104]

Yea it's a bit overrated in my opinion. Too much of it is just insane noise. But the high points are among their best work.

[@ELFanatic]

I love last rights, initially I got into it mostly through love in vein but of course killing game and inquisition are amazing. But anymore, that rest of the album is what I'm coming back for. Beautiful album, but certainly not all songs are for everyone. But that's why it's beautiful.
