Fyfe Ewing was clearly one of the most insanely talented drummers to have ever lived on planet earth....and hardly anyone has heard of him! Long live Therapy? Such a shame he left but that's life eh 👍
I think what people forget when Fyfe left is that the balance of the band completely collapsed with him. Fyfe was obviously into EBM/EDM and carried a lot of the songs with Andy with the equivalent of a Hart-Mould vocal relationship in Husker Du. The mix of dance with rock and metal is what gave them their edge at the time. If you listen to Teethgrinder, it's not like anything else really at the time and they couldn't have done it individually only as an oddly matched 3 piece. It shouldn't have worked but it did with these 3 in the band. After Fyfe left they became something else different. It's a pity as they were fucking bonkers during this period and it shouldn't have worked but it did. It's good that they are still together and making music now, if only the Ewing-Cairns relationship wasn't so fractious and had lasted to produce a few more songs like Loose. They were definitely onto something with the 2 vocalists and the call and response technique.
Personally I can't get enough of this era Therapy? bringing their unapologetic unique tribal noise rock blend... that's when I fell in love with them! Brilliant stuff!
Fyfe is the most amazing drummer this planet has ever produced! He should be the new drummer for Bad Religion! I do believe that this is the only live footage I've ever seen where Fyfe is not wearing a Jesus Lizard t-shirt.
Jesus!!! Never heard of Therapy. Came here from the Babes In Toyland gig. That drummer is insanely good!!! From what I can see here he's up there with Grohl. Wtf!?Immediately a fan!!
Fyfe is a madman guy is a killer drummer blends rock,dance,electronica all together,and sings amazing,and is a lefty.....like me hehe.Its a shame he left and when he left a big chunk of therapy? Died but there post Fyfe stuff is good too
Such a great upload, thanks so much!! 1. Meat Abstract 2. Skyward 3. Fantasy Bag 4. Skinning Pit 5. Innocent X 6. Prison Breaker 7. Potato Junkie 8. Punishment Kiss
If they did, we wouldn't have gotten the untouchable brilliance of Semi Detached, Suicide Pact, High Anxiety, NANE, One Cure, Disquiet or Cleave. The best band ever should never break up
I know Fyfe is an absolute beast on the drums while singing as well (!!!!!) but my god is Andy my absolute idol. I'll also never forget throwing metal horns at Michael and getting them straight back at Cardiff. Best band ever
@8:49 is the almost exact same guitar line as in Hunger Strike by Temple of The Dog. Listening to Therapy 22 years but only listening to TOTD lately so never noticed!
It was such a shame that he did but I heard in article that it was doing his head in and I think he thought, get out before I do something stupid. Fair play to him, you know a rock and roll lifestyle can really fuck you up.
As I recall, playing live just did his head in. Fyfe was quite introverted and wouldn’t really engage with people on tour, keeping himself to himself - basically he just didn’t enjoy gigging. It’s a real shame as he was a fucking incredible musician and I’d genuinely never seen a drummer like him before, in fact calling him just a drummer seems like an insult. I think he kept himself out of the limelight after Therapy? and that’s a real shame because he should be regarded as one of the best ever.

I was there ! :) with 'Babes In Toyland'
F*ck! I had no idea that Fyfe did the vocals in so many songs..and I call myself a fan
Excellent video, thanks for uploading
I remember around this time Therapy? were one of the coolest bands on the planet...
Still are. Well, they should be anyway
what a band!
Oh my days, what a find this is? This was the band at their finest.. The two Wiija EPS were untouchable. After Fyfe went they should have broke up
They had the US leg of the infernal love tour to complete so they had to find a drummer
If they did, we wouldn't have gotten the untouchable brilliance of Semi Detached, Suicide Pact, High Anxiety, NANE, One Cure, Disquiet or Cleave. The best band ever should never break up
I know Fyfe is an absolute beast on the drums while singing as well (!!!!!) but my god is Andy my absolute idol. I'll also never forget throwing metal horns at Michael and getting them straight back at Cardiff. Best band ever
This is amazing! I've always wondered if there was any pre-Nurse footage out there. Thank you!!!
what a drummer !
This is so good.
what a gig. 91 therapy and babes in toyland!
On fuking fire !!! This isn’t Fyfes actual personal channel?
That scream In the 25th minute during prisonbreaker.. Only frank black or Cobain could do that ASWELL WOW
@8:49 is the almost exact same guitar line as in Hunger Strike by Temple of The Dog. Listening to Therapy 22 years but only listening to TOTD lately so never noticed!
Follow that, babes in toyland😂😂
I'd say Therapy? wiped the floor with Babes N Toyland
Your the reason I play drums Fyfe…..
Does anyone know where this riff is from in the minute 21:51
Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy
Fyfe is as good as Stainer. They were imperious at this point
Fuck yeah Helmet and Johns high symbol with battles amazing band
Uploaded my version of this gig, a first generation copy, but its just a little bit better: ua-cam.com/video/Ok58Wqes4fg/v-deo.html
I'd love to know fyfe's reasons for walking away from music.
It was such a shame that he did
but I heard in article that it was doing his head in and I think he thought, get out before I do something stupid.
