Every band on this list is tame and conventional compared to the total insanity of GG Allin. The man was actually fucking insane.

[@juliethompson5301]

Agree .on another level of mindfucked.

[@seanceknowles2911]

I actually got into GG because I wanted something so different, so fucked to make me forget about the fact that as a woman shit like this would be unacceptable. No one who I’ve hanged out even the metal heads and the punks and the weirdos, see this shit coming, but the fact that I hang out with a lot of undesirables why are they surprised? Yes, I like make up and feminine shit but also I like shit that’s weird and looked down on. I think this why I fucking love Yolandi from Die Antwood.

explains a lot about you as a person

[@randellbunnell5862]

I’m about a country as it gets so is my family. We live on a farm I work at a feed mill and we all hunt but ICP is a family favorite of ours😂

[@htm2250]

I don't consider insane clown posse a band or musicians. There horrible

[@mizushimakasumi6120]

Hunter McDaniel They're*

[@Marxist-Chillest]

That's too bad

[@isaacgomez5684]

And that's ok, but they not only are without a doubt the weirdest, shitiest, coolest, absolutely horific band probably ever, they have millions of followers and literally have their own religion and style of music (if you even dare to call it that). Based on the category you can't deny ICP is at the top, and love them, hate them, or not give 2 shits about them, you have to at the very least respect their upbringing and what they do for their followers.

[@TheEpicmoves11]

Fucking magnets how do they work?!!

[@Tiger29532]

So is your grammar

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV? Also Devo, as somebody else suggested.

[@MajicFreeman]

+Matthew McVeagh valid points, but of course about .01% of the world has heard of those first two bands.

[@Skulldini]

+Matthew McVeagh The ONLY time Devo have ever gotten acknowledged by these Mojo assbites ( to my knowledge ) has been as an "80's one hit wonder"!

[@solutor102]

+Matthew McVeagh they had gg on here, I cant complain they didnt have throbbing gristle

[@TomasCorvidea]

+Matthew McVeagh How the Hell could they miss Devo?

[@joostdenhoudijker2335]

+Matthew McVeagh Devo was the first band that I thought of.

[@LaVilleMultiMedia]

The existence of the Clown Core requires an update to this video.

[@vilo_h5541]

I know it’s ancient history now, but I’d like to give a shout out to Wendy O Williams and The Plasmatics.

[@SneedyKetler]

The queen of crash

[@google_was_my_idea_first]

Mr. Bungle (album) is a random, bizarre masterpiece. So cool and interesting. Ska circus metal. A must listen.

[@darrenp428]

Jon Storch Oh buddy, I do own A Mr. Bungle cd 💿. I’ve got issues......

[@robertwyllie9851]

Bungles self titled is amazing

[@mountainman6175]

Bungle for the win. Their earlier stuff was best

[@jasonallen5318]

I thought this was a good list...until ICP at #1. Honestly, they don't belong on this list at all, in terms of weirdness, they don't compare to Zappa, Gwar, Mr. Bungle or Primus in any way shape or form.

[@kenholliday1239]

Jason Allen Straight up garbage! I can't believe they are even on this list!

[@chrishickman7059]

It's not weird music or good. The reason there number 1 is because they have a fucking cult

[@chrishickman7059]

@Penelope Nelson Frank Zappa number 1

[@k3nnyo411]

Jason Allen I agree, if anything Twiztid is more weird, lol. Primus isn't weird either, they are just dumb.

[@cheesiechrist]

Damn, really? I just started this video and saw Death Grips at #10 and thought, "ok this list could be alright".. Thanks for saving me the time! haha

[@MorbidCherryBlossom]

I've been a Primus fan since I was a pre-teen. My family had CDs from this band.

[@MrManbearpig627]

It’s funny because this video was recommended under a clown core video.

[@sporeman29]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PUT INSANE CLOWN POSE ABOVE GWAR!!??!!!

[@ottoacid1800]

Insane Clown Posse are weirder thanks to their cultlike fan base, wrestling associations, and the shit show that is the Gathering. As performers they're kinda cut from the same cloth as GWAR. Dick jokes, costumes, spraying liquids at fans, fantasy backstories, violent imagery... Pretty much the same shit. Not sure why ICP fans don't realize it's a joke though.

[@cockroachcharlie5619]

Thank you. Dudes dressed in clown makeup and you take them that seriously?

[@Kemonokami]

I know, RIGHT?!

[@jokersman666]

sporeman29 i wouldnt even put icp in a top ten icp songs list...

[@ottoacid1800]

Torey Smith I knew Dave Brockie, nice enough guy, but a genius? Gimme a break. Dude was just a stoner art school guy.

[@sacheverelle2626]

Ninja from Die Antwoord is a better rapper than he gets credit for.

[@beans9479]

Yolandi too though.

[@alexhennigh5242]

I'd probably be able to appreciate their musical talents if their aesthetic wasn't being borderline retarded.

[@corbykennard6797]

MomoTheBellyDancer Do they though? I mean, isn't it all show business? Isn't it all an act? That's kind of the point, I feel.

[@darangdone3932]

They both kill it!

[@MrMikeyMikerson]

He really is, those people are great at writing catchy shit

[@markherron3897]

I’ve seen Mr. Bungle, Primus, Ween and Gwar from this list and Buckethead from the honorable mentions. Weird is best!

[@laustcawz2089]

Among many other things, Zappa appeared on an episode of The Monkees TV show & made a cameo in their film, "Head".

[@lifeofthefallenhero1661]

10. Death Grips 9. Mr Bungle 8. Babymetal 7. GG Allin 6. Primus 5. Ween 4. Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention 3. Die Antwoord 2. GWAR 1. Insane Clown Pose

[@kushegga95]

You're doing God's work, son

[@jesusbuiltmyhotrod1465]

Don't forget Green Jelly.

[@richardordonez8331]

Baby metal is for pervs. Shouldn't be on the list.

[@emptyhead8832]

Thank you

Dude baby metal is actually pretty good. Metal wise i mean chick has a good voice.

[@cauchysintegral3713]

So yeah, "weird" can cover a lot of ground (name, song subject matter, sound, costumes) to the point that you have a lot of bands to choose from including just about all punk. However, to not even mention a couple of the ground breakers like Alice Cooper and Oingo Boingo (at least in their early years) seems an oversight.

[@jakesullivan5861]

Green jelly anyone

[@democraticmyass]

I love death grips

[@strobe4565]

no i love them most

[@superloop6685]

Mr.Bungle was very over-shadowed here. Should have showed a bit more.

[@lusciousmustard5476]

They should have played like Travolta or Platypus to show the strangeness more

[@superloop6685]

+Luscious Mustard Yeh I think Stubb would of been a better choice though, since it loops so much

[@JamstaHULP4L]

+Fierce Deity My ass is on fire

[@blxshp291]

Bungle is so good mike Patton is a god

[@alexjgriffith5998]

Tbh anything that Mike Patton has a hand in is guaranteed to be at least a bit weird

[@kombuchamooch]

11:54 Love them putting such a chill acoustic song in between hard(ish) ones

[@SesamemeFrog429]

I am deeply offended that Primus and GG Allen aren't in the top 3

[@SaruKauri]

How could Insane Clown Posse be the number 1 weirdest band? Is this guy bribed by them?

[@comettamer]

The video would be accurate for 2015 really.

[@SaruKauri]

@@comettamer Well, Die Antewoord started back in 2007 sooo... No.

[@comettamer]

@@SaruKauri Agree to disagree. I feel like they have a point, with how ICP literally has their own festival and wrestling league. Their fans level of devotion is absolutely amazing too sometimes.

[@SaruKauri]

@@comettamer I would call it weirdest band culture, but I get your point!

[@comettamer]

@@SaruKauri Right. Being the band that created it earns them the top slot.

[@MyJC19]

wasn't Die Antwoord they guys on the movie Chapie

[@graypeople5026]

sure was

[@u.b.c.sbrent5608]

ja

[@carnagegerman]

i unknowingly stumbled upon them on at 2010 Coachella...then saw them on chappie like "i know these weirdos!" 😎

[@q7wasp7]

Yolandi is hot - Ninja is not. Weird? Yup.

[@alphajames33]

Unfortunatelly. Oh, man. What a clusterf@k that movie was. I almost left the cinema. Horrible waste of time and celluloid.😵

[@DrGoFast1]

I miss Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band

[@caitlin3255]

I just came across this list and I'm very surprised to see that The Residents aren't on this list. lol They've been around a looong time. If you've never heard of them, I suggest you check them out.

[@SantaDog81]

Um, you guys missed The Residents...

[@pigfucker6793]

ikr

[@ThunderHunter100]

EXACTLY

[@keaganknapp2237]

+SantaDog81 They also missed Computer Jesus Refrigerator...

[@deckard210000]

+SantaDog81 Yes That is a real misstep. The Residents is the best musical and artistic band ever created. Music aficionados better recognize.

[@Fernando-du7pg]

They also missed Shat or Radioactive Chicken Heads. Their music is pretty good though (IMO) But I don't get what's inside Shat's members mind X_X

[@sebaEGG]

The Residents, anyone?

[@ghosts2896]

Yes

[@richferguson2954]

+sebaEGG the few videos ive seen from the residents I think weird is an understatement

[@CinemanSteve]

+sebaEGG Honestly, of all the bands I expected them to leave out, I really thought they'd get Residents.

[@drewp.weiner5708]

+sebaEGG The fact they're not on the list is blaphemous

[@Punketalero]

Thank God you named them! I think they would be on the top of the list! In my humble opinion, Mr. Bungle, Frank Zappa and Primus are the best ones of the list, but The Residents cannot be weirder than they are. They are unique. And I would include The Boredoms too, but that's a different story...

[@Puttyman]

What about Rammstein or Slipknot or strangest of all, The Residents? All of these should've been at least honorable mentions.

[@randallbatson]

1. Infectious grooves 2. Barnes and Barnes 3. Psychotica 4. Green Jelly 5. Daisy Chainsaw 6. Something to Prove 7. Spiderbait 8. Was/Was Not 9. Buggles 10. Clutch

[@LyleVSXyle]

I'm happy Primus made the list (one of my favorite bands) but what about DEVO?

[@Rauscheder]

I was so sure, when the honorable mentions were over, it was gonna be DEVO.

[@LyleVSXyle]

As well as MGMT, Presidents of the United States of America, Man... or Astroman, Reverend Horton Heat or even Portishead. Lots of weird bands out there.

[@baddad9141]

+LyleVSXyle - DEVO: the 1980s iconic group for 'weird'...and way more successful than most of these...not even an HM?

[@LyleVSXyle]

BadDad I know... in fact I wish more people recognized them

[@ratedcorpus]

+LyleVSXyle De-volution!!! I saw them with fantomas and primus, amazing!!!

[@musiclover666100]

Okay but Steam Powered Giraffe has some cool songs

[@xanzusx]

Excluding the weird Country songs, yeah

[@doktor_ghul]

...especially when they're teamed up with Professor Elemental.

[@antlereddruid8359]

Actually all of them

[@Sisyphos1312]

They really do

[@complicitcomplex7234]

honestly the most sacrilege part of this list imo is that they didn’t mention ween also did the outro song on the spongebob squarepants movie

[@fuchsiathecool822]

how did clown core not make any part of this list? they are so good and just plan weird.
