I didn’t mention Vaginal Jesus because they have “Vagina” in the band name and vaginas are gay Edit: Also I was wrong about Picnic of Love: Seth Putnam did not play guitar on that album. It was Josh Martin who played guitar on that one. For some reason, I always thought it was Seth who wrote all the licks on that one. Being wrong about things is gay.
I remember I was dating this feminist bizznatch and she learned I liked death metal and she immediately presumed I was a Cannibal Corpse fan, which so what if I were, but I'm not. And anyway I explained to her that Chris Barnes was the person she was mad at, and that everyone pretty much thinks he sucks, except fans of Six Feet Under, which was his new band. She calmed down and resumed her willingness to fornicate with me. I also broke up with her because she sucked, and got kinda fatter than I was okay with.
I saw A/C back in the day. Seth made fun of people in line while walking backstage then when I asked if they had any merch he said no. The guitarist said they did but didn't want to get it out of the car. Legends
When Seth was in his coma, I was friends with his little brother Kerin. The details of that was insane. Also, it was pretty awesome how kind Seth was to the special needs patients while he was in the nursing home. I'm not kidding. He had his moments of humanity.
His wife was shockingly decent. She was really sweet. None of us ever understood how the fuck that happened, but she loved him. …and yeah, she was like a real grownup.
@@kevinp8882 I haven't seen Kerin in like 17 or 18 years. I miss him. He was fun. Total jackass, but so am I, and once we had a screaming match, we ended up laughing at how dumb we both were, and we got along great after that.
You have to admit A.C. had some GOATed song titles "You Thought We Were Avant Garde But We Actually Work At Gas Stations" "Conor Clapton Killed Himself Because His Dad's Music Sucks" "You Look Adopted"
Don’t call Japanese hardcore Japcore, Beating up $&@$&@ who sell fake crack, Cranking my bands demo on a box at the beach, steroid guy, it goes on and on.🤘
I first encountered AxCx via a review of (I think) it just gets worse that said: “the best way to enjoy an Anal Cunt album is to pick it up at a store, giggle at song titles like “You’re Pregnant, so I Kicked You in the Stomach” and “Hitler Was a Sensitive Man” and then put it down and buy something worth listening to.”
@@sethputnamjrhow he did vocals was incredibly impressive. the fact that he could do them for so long, for 25+ years, and his voice wasn't completely fucked by the end of his life, is incredible.
Come to think of it…..the fact that these guys definitely laid down decent money to record the first two EPS……….and just record noise. That’s respectable
Thanks for making this video... I got to know Seth in the last few years of his life, after his coma. I grew up playing in bands around Boston, eventually crossing paths with, opening for, and/or straight-up worshipping bands like AxCx, SBC, Siege, Austen's Dead, NIGHTSTICK, etc. I was in a band that Seth would definitely describe as "gay". But years later, 2007-2008ish? He became a frequent guest of the apartment I lived in at the time ("The Windjammer" to be precise lol - many legends came through that place, because my roommates were WAY cooler than me - respect to Lauren and Mitchie). I could probably write an entire book just on the interactions I had with Seth during those few short years, and the weird, touching, KIND and supportive friendship we developed, even if only for a brief and surreal hiccup of a phase in my bizarre life. Sounds crazy if you are only judging on his lyrics, but he was a beautiful, albeit tortured, person. He forced me to watch the entirety of R Kelly's trapped in the closet on DVD and was dead serious about it. Also introduced me to The Polyphonic Spree, which was one of his favorite bands at the time, and continues to be one of mine. But yeah he was also a horrible shitbag. Not gonna lie though - we did make out once, as a gag; I wish there weren't living witnesses but I just admitted it in public so... R.I.P. Seth - I hope they have your size Hello Kitty pajama bottoms in hell. My lizard is dead now, you'd be psyched.
Haha, Nightstick! I was in the original lineup if you will, couldn't work with Rob. Had a chance to play guitar in AC right before Josh, like an idiot I didn't think not making it to rehearsal would be a problem and didn't take it seriously. I missed out
A child of extreme wealth and privilege who gets a complex about it and gets drunk and plays music? Nah, we don’t. We still have plenty, they still suck
I got kicked out of an AC show by a skinhead doorman. I didn't do anything wrong... I just asked him why he wore a costume. I guess that was provocative, so I'm not going to play the victim card here. This was after I drove Seth and Josh around KC for an hour getting hammered and looking for coke. There's really no point to this story, other than I thought it might be entertaining to people watching this video.

Renamed to "Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck" because Earache Records basically said "you absolutely cannot do this because Eric Clapton will sue us."
I support racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism. I don't support prejudiced and stupid ways of thinking, such as anything opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism.
FYI: Seth´s "childhood photo" shows a baby Adolf Hitler, Putman´s alleged "parents" also are Hitler´s, Klara Hitler and Alois Schicklgruber if I´m not mistaken ...and Seth would probably have liked this a lot...btw: making videos about Seth is gay.
Also, seth sang for siege briefly. The music is on yt. Another seth gem is him playing guitar for an outdoor live kilslug show on here as well. And as always there crossover musicians and links to other musicians, one being j mascis having played guitar for a gg allin session and ofc mascis was recording with the upsidedown cross/ kilslug guys. GG had some interesting musicians involved with his bands as well aside from dee dee ramone and mc5 members, there were guys like the bass player of codeine that played with gg, and the aforementioned j mascis. And j mascis links to other branches via the band witch who have members who toured with b'eirth of in gowan ring/birch book, and b'eirth linking to blood axis, death in june, forseti, otwatm, sonne hagal etc etc since b'eirth recorded with all these bands. The musician family tree basically. Theres even flyers of shows that fell apart when thurston moore was planning to do some gigs with gg. And aside from recording music theres photos of gg with people like johnny cash, jello biafra and roky erickson to name a few. He got around.
The backups he did on Trendkill with Pantera were pretty awesome, iirc he did one show with em in massachusetts and the footage only came back recently. His other bands, full blown AIDS, you're fired, and vaginal jesus, are pretty damn good if you can find em. What i think is the craziest mainstream connection is that GG did a ton of country covers, including probably his most famous- Outlaw Scumfuc- of David Allan Coe. DAC also did an album with the Abbott brothers, which was sadly Dime's last recorded work and i believe the compiled album released shortly after His death. And despite being the oldest between DAC, GG, Seth, and Dime, DAC is the only one still alive (to my knowledge).
Hahaha my old band played a show with these guys and EYEHATEGOD. My wife was pregnant at the show, Seth was throwing rancid chicken all over the place!!! Not a great thing for a woman, pregnant with morning sickness!!! Still had a great night!! All the guys were super cool and chill and we had a ball!!!
As a big AxCx fan from Russia, I am simply delighted with such a great job! Thank you, it’s a pity that most people don’t understand that this guy was a genius)))
I was misdiagnosed as being bi-polar for 15 years, and it turned out that I was actually autistic and didn't know until I was 40. Help is out there. You just have to want it!
Seth was and always will be an American legend. He will not be totally understood during our lifetime. The most important thing is that all direct account of his life needs to be documented now that 100 years from now they can analyze on a higher level. All we now have to do is suffer a world where Seth Putnam is dead and we have no AC shows to look forward to. All respect to Mr. Putnam
Seth Putnam was the human embodiment of "Chaotic Neutral" and despite the bigotry he did seem like a relatively chill guy when he wasn't trying to be a shit stirrer, which I'm only convinced he did because it was a cry for attention. Like maybe he wanted somebody to call him out on his shit. This video was really insightful into his life as well as absurdly hilarious. So glad that I found this channel.
The entire band was a work. He said himself he just wanted to make a band universally hated. It was the bands gimmick. Not to go all wrestling or anything but Anal Cunt were the MJF of music.
I tell you that, whoever is being provocative, offensive and extreme all the time is someone, a person who got really tired of being treated like a lesser human and then snapped. When you feel that you don't deserve being treated with love and respect, when you feel alone and cornered by the burden of life, you either become a cold blooded victim and try to survive or you go ape shit and conflict is your way to hit back. Seth was unfortunatelly a lost soul, not in any religious way, he just got disconnected from societal norms and chose drugs and violence to cope with it. Deep inside the only thing he wanted I guess was to be loved when was a kid but as an adult knew that it was to late and futile. Music was his weapon, he ridiculed his whole existence and didn't blink an eye. It was like a self immolation to everything that hurt him. He couldn't be saved, so he continued until the end.
I went into this expecting another Mad Mike shitpost, but instead ended up learning a lot about my own mental health problems. This is the gayest video I’ve ever seen. 420/69.
No one ever talks about how fucking awesome his vocals were. His influence is all over grindcore, even if a lot of vocalists don’t wanna admit it. Jon Chang TOTALLY jacked Seth’s style, but I’m glad for it. Yeah, garbage person though. The world was worse in a better way with him here, if that makes sense.
Its all over metal honestly. The shit he taught to Phil made Trendkill one of the best albums of all time imo. The way he was able to blend that style with chants and some more somber vocals is far beyond metal.
Not really. People liked to he song titles and hilarious interviews . Noone , not even grindcore kids ( all half a dozen of them ) took ac seriously, or listened to them except for an occasional song or two on compilations.
@@WilliamDunn-u2qAxCx was known even in Spain already in the early 90s. Fucking Spain dude😂. They even came in 94 for 2/4 gigs. They did many countries.
I knew Seth pretty well. There was a couple things I wish you'd covered more or made clearer; Seth was an insanely good musician. No joke. He played every instrument on thier cover of Killing Yourself to Live, which I'd put against the original any day. And he was such a good guitarist. He'd just sit on the edge of his bed and try to play faster and faster. He was easily the fastest guitarist I'd ever seen. And he it was so clean. The only time he really flexed this on record was the first You're Fired 7" (which I wish you had brought up. It's one of Seth's few serious outings) But I wholeheartedly believe Seth probably could have gotten into Guiness for playing fast. If he wouldn't have broken the record, he'd have been damn close. He was great. He knew it, too. He just didn't care. I always thought it'd have been on brand if the official world's fastest guitarist was a fat Hesher Blasting through Slapshot riffs at 20x speed, but he didn't see it that way. If you could get him off doing his shtick, he was cool as hell. Funny as could be. And just a nice man. He was always super depressed though. You got that right. It was saddening. But what could you do? All he ever wanted to do was play guitar and do drugs. And I guess we can all be kind of happy that's what he got to do.
So playing as fast as possible is how he came up with that iconic A.C. blur that all Noisecore bands tried to replicate since but havent quite achieved it imo. What I always thought was really amazing was the high pitched screeching he did high up on the neck. Ive never heard anyone do that before him or outside the Grind scene. He was an influence to me and many others.
My Dad actually knew Seth back in the mid to late 00's and was friends with him too! I never got to meet/know Seth since I was still a baby/toddler but still thought I'd share. :) [P.S Sharing family lore is gay] [P.S writing "P.S" is gay]
I’d love an essay on Brainbombs probably one of the most obscure Bands of all time. While in private they weren’t as psychotic as Putnam or GG Allin but to me they definitely put out the most vile and degenerate lyrics ever. Kinda adds to the mystery that not much is know about the band members aside from their connection to Totalitär
You nailed Putnam. Your video will explain him to countless generations. Best content anybody who by some miracle stumbled upon Putnam and wanted to know more. Closest thing to immortality.
I knew Seth he would not do well at all in this current climate I really like watching the people that hung around him when he was alive scurry to deny it these days lol...I met him in 1990 and played music in some projects w him I was there the night he o.d. after a birthday party on cape cod one thing I can add about the "antisemitism " he grew up in Newton ma.one of the most Jewish towns in America where Louis c.k. came from and Matt LeBlanc Seth should have gone into stand up or something He was brilliant and I think his dad was a cop.
Brilliant video, Mike. A UA-cam acquaintance soundtracked his video with "I Just Saw The Gayest Guy On Earth" recently and it has led me down the AxCx rabbit hole. I've been in equal parts horrified and in fits of uncontrollable laughter at the gems I've uncovered so far, with a long way left to go. Thanks for sharing your insight into this musical genius.
Saw AxCx open for Eyehategod at the Khyber in Philly in 1995. During their set, Seth sprayed the fire extinguisher everywhere making the entire club run to the bar for fresh air
Wow, this just popped up in my feed 90 minutes ago so I watched it because he was a friend of mine. We went to the same high school but in different years. AC drummer Tim dated my best friend (who I met in that same high school) and we all hung out together and knew each other. I dated one of the guys in VJ and also AC and Seth tried to teach me guitar at one point so I could BE in AC but after 2 weeks we realized it was hopeless and they got Fred from Shit Scum. Seth's mom was an archeologist and a really cool lady. He also had a younger bratty brother we all got a kick out of. He was actually a sweet guy, super mellow, actually easy to get along with and was REALLY smart with a great sense of humor. My mom LOVED him and thought he was a riot! That is how I like to remember him. I didn't see too much of him in the last decade of his life though. This video really brought back some good memories for me. Thanks for the deep dive! Also here's some fun trivia for you: he called big bellies a "Guy Lombardo." LOL!
Fuckin A is a great album. It's basically old school cock rock played in a grindy style. "Crankin my band's demo on a box at the beach" is basically a cover of "you're invited but your friends can't come" by Vince Neal's solo band, or at least they stole the main riff.
His band Satans Warriors used to open a for my band Afterbirth in 87.And knocked out the guitarist teeth w a mic stand!And My Band Ugly Dentist opened for AC first show! I still have to photos of seth that night!and Ya there for Sale!$$$

Renamed to "Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck" because Earache Records basically said "you absolutely cannot do this because Eric Clapton will sue us."
I support racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism. I don't support prejudiced and stupid ways of thinking, such as anything opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia and fascism.
Nice joke 💀
Supporting things is gay.
@@deltamaxxhomevideo So is saying supporting things is gay
@@deltamaxxhomevideo you are supporting the fact that supporting things are pretty gay which is pretty gay

FYI: Seth´s "childhood photo" shows a baby Adolf Hitler, Putman´s alleged "parents" also are Hitler´s, Klara Hitler and Alois Schicklgruber if I´m not mistaken ...and Seth would probably have liked this a lot...btw: making videos about Seth is gay.
Pointing out facts is gay.
If GG Allin was a trust fund rich kid
Also, seth sang for siege briefly. The music is on yt. Another seth gem is him playing guitar for an outdoor live kilslug show on here as well. And as always there crossover musicians and links to other musicians, one being j mascis having played guitar for a gg allin session and ofc mascis was recording with the upsidedown cross/ kilslug guys.
GG had some interesting musicians involved with his bands as well aside from dee dee ramone and mc5 members, there were guys like the bass player of codeine that played with gg, and the aforementioned j mascis. And j mascis links to other branches via the band witch who have members who toured with b'eirth of in gowan ring/birch book, and b'eirth linking to blood axis, death in june, forseti, otwatm, sonne hagal etc etc since b'eirth recorded with all these bands. The musician family tree basically.
Theres even flyers of shows that fell apart when thurston moore was planning to do some gigs with gg. And aside from recording music theres photos of gg with people like johnny cash, jello biafra and roky erickson to name a few. He got around.
The backups he did on Trendkill with Pantera were pretty awesome, iirc he did one show with em in massachusetts and the footage only came back recently. His other bands, full blown AIDS, you're fired, and vaginal jesus, are pretty damn good if you can find em. What i think is the craziest mainstream connection is that GG did a ton of country covers, including probably his most famous- Outlaw Scumfuc- of David Allan Coe. DAC also did an album with the Abbott brothers, which was sadly Dime's last recorded work and i believe the compiled album released shortly after His death. And despite being the oldest between DAC, GG, Seth, and Dime, DAC is the only one still alive (to my knowledge).
Gay
Pretty old testament.
didnt know j mascis played with gg allin
I thought he was a good fit for Siege, maybe not personality wise but I thought the shit sounded good.
Hahaha my old band played a show with these guys and EYEHATEGOD. My wife was pregnant at the show, Seth was throwing rancid chicken all over the place!!! Not a great thing for a woman, pregnant with morning sickness!!! Still had a great night!! All the guys were super cool and chill and we had a ball!!!
Getting your wife pregnant is gay
Chill? Are you Too Apree? lol
my favorite AC lyrics are "You live on a houseboat, your dog wears a bandana"
VAGINAL JESUS IS THE BEST BAND HE HAD
I agree 100%
homie's got balls posting this lol its nice to see a thorough dive into Seth. Banger video.
Yeah a girl was licking my tribal connections just last night
As a big AxCx fan from Russia, I am simply delighted with such a great job!
Thank you, it’s a pity that most people don’t understand that this guy was a genius)))

Bro, you’re the fkn man for this
You completely skipped over the Morbid Florist E.P. from 93. My band opened for them around that time, Seth was cool.
I like his song about a certain sensitive man.
Daddy 'dolf
Extreme Noise terror are still scared of him.
I liked your comment because you have an Abbath profile picture
I was misdiagnosed as being bi-polar for 15 years, and it turned out that I was actually autistic and didn't know until I was 40.
Help is out there. You just have to want it!
you were diagnosed by how many doctors?
Have you figured out yet that you were vaccine injured?
Autism is gay

Gay.
Seth was and always will be an American legend. He will not be totally understood during our lifetime. The most important thing is that all direct account of his life needs to be documented now that 100 years from now they can analyze on a higher level. All we now have to do is suffer a world where Seth Putnam is dead and we have no AC shows to look forward to. All respect to
Mr. Putnam
Seth Putnam was the human embodiment of "Chaotic Neutral" and despite the bigotry he did seem like a relatively chill guy when he wasn't trying to be a shit stirrer, which I'm only convinced he did because it was a cry for attention. Like maybe he wanted somebody to call him out on his shit.
This video was really insightful into his life as well as absurdly hilarious. So glad that I found this channel.
The entire band was a work. He said himself he just wanted to make a band universally hated. It was the bands gimmick. Not to go all wrestling or anything but Anal Cunt were the MJF of music.
The random bigotry is the best bit! lol
Gay
Ah, yes. The quintessential 4 of Grindcore. Napalm Death, Carcass, Napalm Death, and of course, Carcass!
my favorite seth putnam moment is from a show video where he says "before we start, does anybody wanna fight us?"
That was hilarious. Very well put together and I enjoyed all of it. Saw Full Blown Aids just days before Seth died.
This guy sounds like a cool dude after hearing that opening disclaimer.
I tell you that, whoever is being provocative, offensive and extreme all the time is someone, a person who got really tired of being treated like a lesser human and then snapped. When you feel that you don't deserve being treated with love and respect, when you feel alone and cornered by the burden of life, you either become a cold blooded victim and try to survive or you go ape shit and conflict is your way to hit back. Seth was unfortunatelly a lost soul, not in any religious way, he just got disconnected from societal norms and chose drugs and violence to cope with it. Deep inside the only thing he wanted I guess was to be loved when was a kid but as an adult knew that it was to late and futile. Music was his weapon, he ridiculed his whole existence and didn't blink an eye. It was like a self immolation to everything that hurt him. He couldn't be saved, so he continued until the end.
That disclaimer about Seth Putnam's view was gay.
im surprised you didn't mention "wearing out our welcome"
This was probably a perfect way to do a video on Seth. Great video!
I remember when I was younger meeting him without knowing who he was. Bro was high af and drunk af 😂
Congratulations on the good work, without any joke this is one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam, both informative and fun! Keep the good work!
5:22 That production is top notch
Sounds great
I went into this expecting another Mad Mike shitpost, but instead ended up learning a lot about my own mental health problems. This is the gayest video I’ve ever seen. 420/69.
Thank you for making this
No one ever talks about how fucking awesome his vocals were. His influence is all over grindcore, even if a lot of vocalists don’t wanna admit it. Jon Chang TOTALLY jacked Seth’s style, but I’m glad for it. Yeah, garbage person though. The world was worse in a better way with him here, if that makes sense.
Its all over metal honestly. The shit he taught to Phil made Trendkill one of the best albums of all time imo. The way he was able to blend that style with chants and some more somber vocals is far beyond metal.
Nice little gay opinion
Not really. People liked to he song titles and hilarious interviews . Noone , not even grindcore kids ( all half a dozen of them ) took ac seriously, or listened to them except for an occasional song or two on compilations.
@@WilliamDunn-u2qAxCx was known even in Spain already in the early 90s. Fucking Spain dude😂. They even came in 94 for 2/4 gigs. They did many countries.
@@WilliamDunn-u2q wrong and gay
I knew Seth pretty well. There was a couple things I wish you'd covered more or made clearer;
Seth was an insanely good musician. No joke. He played every instrument on thier cover of Killing Yourself to Live, which I'd put against the original any day. And he was such a good guitarist. He'd just sit on the edge of his bed and try to play faster and faster. He was easily the fastest guitarist I'd ever seen. And he it was so clean. The only time he really flexed this on record was the first You're Fired 7" (which I wish you had brought up. It's one of Seth's few serious outings)
But I wholeheartedly believe Seth probably could have gotten into Guiness for playing fast. If he wouldn't have broken the record, he'd have been damn close.
He was great. He knew it, too. He just didn't care. I always thought it'd have been on brand if the official world's fastest guitarist was a fat Hesher Blasting through Slapshot riffs at 20x speed, but he didn't see it that way.
If you could get him off doing his shtick, he was cool as hell. Funny as could be. And just a nice man.
He was always super depressed though. You got that right. It was saddening. But what could you do?
All he ever wanted to do was play guitar and do drugs. And I guess we can all be kind of happy that's what he got to do.
I am sure Seth specialized in playing the skin flute.
If he did leads on Throwing Cars At People On Coke With Thor that kinda makes sense , too.
Long boring comments like this that I don't read but reply to are heterosexual. And being hetero is gay
So playing as fast as possible is how he came up with that iconic A.C. blur that all Noisecore bands tried to replicate since but havent quite achieved it imo. What I always thought was really amazing was the high pitched screeching he did high up on the neck. Ive never heard anyone do that before him or outside the Grind scene. He was an influence to me and many others.
If this documentary short doesn't win an Oscar™, i'm gonna riot ! 🔥
Hands down the best 55 minutes and 11 seconds I've ever invested in my life
I just saw....the gayest guy on earth!
He hangs around in Austinnnnnn
He’s got a tribal tattoo
He wears purple dreadlocks
Seeing things is gay.
FIRST TIME I WATCHED A VIDEO FROM YOU AND YOU ARE A GREAT STORY TELLER, YOU HAVE GAINED AN INSTANT FOLLOWER.
Caps lock is gay
GAY'nd
Great work. Thanks for including me
My Dad actually knew Seth back in the mid to late 00's and was friends with him too! I never got to meet/know Seth since I was still a baby/toddler but still thought I'd share. :)
[P.S Sharing family lore is gay]
[P.S writing "P.S" is gay]
Seth probably thought you were a gay baby
I’d love an essay on Brainbombs probably one of the most obscure Bands of all time. While in private they weren’t as psychotic as Putnam or GG Allin but to me they definitely put out the most vile and degenerate lyrics ever. Kinda adds to the mystery that not much is know about the band members aside from their connection to Totalitär
You nailed Putnam. Your video will explain him to countless generations. Best content anybody who by some miracle stumbled upon Putnam and wanted to know more. Closest thing to immortality.
Video essayists take notes. This is what a GREAT videos looks like
Video essays are gay
@MadMike1 not as gay as videos and subsequent comments pertaining to said videos
Hardly
Seth is gay for dying
I knew Seth he would not do well at all in this current climate I really like watching the people that hung around him when he was alive scurry to deny it these days lol...I met him in 1990 and played music in some projects w him I was there the night he o.d. after a birthday party on cape cod one thing I can add about the "antisemitism " he grew up in Newton ma.one of the most Jewish towns in America where Louis c.k. came from and Matt LeBlanc Seth should have gone into stand up or something He was brilliant and I think his dad was a cop.
I was in a coma for 4 months and when i was waking up everything was like a black and white tv
Brilliant video, Mike. A UA-cam acquaintance soundtracked his video with "I Just Saw The Gayest Guy On Earth" recently and it has led me down the AxCx rabbit hole. I've been in equal parts horrified and in fits of uncontrollable laughter at the gems I've uncovered so far, with a long way left to go. Thanks for sharing your insight into this musical genius.
Saw AxCx open for Eyehategod at the Khyber in Philly in 1995. During their set, Seth sprayed the fire extinguisher everywhere making the entire club run to the bar for fresh air
Wow, this just popped up in my feed 90 minutes ago so I watched it because he was a friend of mine. We went to the same high school but in different years. AC drummer Tim dated my best friend (who I met in that same high school) and we all hung out together and knew each other. I dated one of the guys in VJ and also AC and Seth tried to teach me guitar at one point so I could BE in AC but after 2 weeks we realized it was hopeless and they got Fred from Shit Scum. Seth's mom was an archeologist and a really cool lady. He also had a younger bratty brother we all got a kick out of. He was actually a sweet guy, super mellow, actually easy to get along with and was REALLY smart with a great sense of humor. My mom LOVED him and thought he was a riot! That is how I like to remember him. I didn't see too much of him in the last decade of his life though. This video really brought back some good memories for me. Thanks for the deep dive! Also here's some fun trivia for you: he called big bellies a "Guy Lombardo." LOL!
Ghouly is this you?
Fuckin A is actually really good. One of their best. And you try making an album while you're half-dead from a coma. Also, Howard is Bald!
Fuckin A is a great album. It's basically old school cock rock played in a grindy style. "Crankin my band's demo on a box at the beach" is basically a cover of "you're invited but your friends can't come" by Vince Neal's solo band, or at least they stole the main riff.
The internet went soft the day he logged out permanently lol
Just recently found this video. You posted this on my 30th birthday. Nice
I always wanted a A.C./wesley willis collab
Wow the collab I didn't know I NEEDED!
Best doc I have seen in well over a decade. Well done sir.
I fully support all of Seth Putnam's views.
That’s stupid and gay
BEST "artist retrospective" I have ever seen. Well done!
His band Satans Warriors used to open a for my band Afterbirth in 87.And knocked out the guitarist teeth w a mic stand!And My Band Ugly Dentist opened for AC first show! I still have to photos of seth that night!and Ya there for Sale!$$$
