The most bizarre YouTube "music" video I have seen...

I don't even know if I'd call this music...

But, I can't stop watching it!

What kind of bass is that? A Wal? I can't really tell... either way, somebody take that away from him!

SirCanealot, yeah, it looks like an early '80s Custom series 21-fret Wal to me. The question is, what is he doing to that poor thing?

"Immaculate molars, baby; immacular molars!"

Wow, it is a Wal.

The actual song was creepy.

I'm not actually British, I just live here. No defense necessary (or possible, for that matter)!

Stump - Buffalo. I don't even know how to react. The song is stranger than strange. I give them credit though, they are definitely doing what they want and don't sound like anything mainstream. The bassist has a twisted way of doing a bass line on that fretless! The singer is a little crazy looking - yeek! I want his immacculate molars too!

Stump!!!!! For about 20 years I have been telling people about this pile of garbage - no-one actually believed me it existed until I found a copy about 5 years ago!

It is bloody awful!!!! Sounds as bad today as the first time I heard it!! hahahahaha

If the members of 80's era King Crimson were each given 4 hits of acid and a softball sized crack rock to puff on, this is what they would sound like. I have a new favorite band!

Off topic on King Crimson... at a recent masterclass, Tony Levin mentioned the time the King Crimson guitarists (Fripp, Belew) had the mad idea of tuning a quarter tone away from each other as an experiment when rehearsing. Peter Gabriel couldn't take it... quite understandable!
