    Anybody ever heard of Throbbing Gristle? I've been listening to some samples from them, and man are they weird! [​IMG] What's with these guys? They even strike me as on the verge of psychopathy. They're all pretty strange but I think the lead vocalist, Genesis P-Orridge takes the cake.


    Anybody know/have an opinion on what they're all about and why they're so weird?

    Sure, I used to listen to them occasionally. I don't think they are that wierd.

    Not so weird, but good. P-Orridge is too calculating and poppish for a psychopath.

    Partly they are about other people’s ideas, partly about themselves. As usual [​IMG]

    Psychic TV always seemed to me rather pop, too.

    I heard/read things about their live shows, and personally, I dont think it would be anything I would particularly like to see. defication, mutilation, and whatever else they do is not my type of thing, really. and I wouldnt really consider it performance art (as what they packaged it as)

    They apparently don’t suffer from constipation :)

    Anyway and unfortunately, the new TG album is extremely boring, in my opinion. I couldn’t even listen to it to the end. They have had their great days, though – TG’s early concerts, some PTV’s concerts of the 80s, and, of course, some Zos Kia/Coil albums.

    I should check out Psychic TV - I've heard of them only recently... What other names do they go under?
