    this song has a power that carries on through the years. It just never fades. I'm glad I found out about them in the late 80s, and finally heard them early 90s. His use of tape echo and feedback created soundscapes, like being sucked into subway tunnels and out into another dimension of time and space before being returned to reality. It's up there with "I Don't Live Today" and "Third Stone from the Sun," or "If Six was Nine." I liked the Alan Vega yelps on this song and the Ian Curtis/Joy Division tone of "Pushing the Extreme." Sage has a unique playing style you never hear elsewhere. Quite jazz influenced at times. Reminds me a little of Eric Bell of Thin Lizzy, who could turn out a truly adventurous guitar solo, like on "The Rocker." He flies on that one, verging on atonality and noise. I hear a lot of the Wipers in Voivod, circa "Angel Rat" and "Nothingface."

    Man…there’s something about this performance. This may be the most stripped down and vulnerable and open version of greg Sage that we’ll ever get to see.
    I mean sure, he’s always done his little intros/preambles to the crowd, words of advice.
    But this one is different, it has a very avant garde/spoken word vibe to it.
    Lots of added lyrics and solos.

E o engraçado, Napalm Beach apesar de ser muito menos conhecido, tem mais vídeos de performances ao vivo nessa época do que os admiráveis Wipers.

    When was the last time this amazing man was spotted in public? I really wish he’d be more involved, we need people like him

      he lives in phoenix arizona now and according to his brother he takes care of dogs. someone who interviewed him a few times back in the day theorized that when cd's took over vinyl and vinyl died in popularity, he lost his inspiration and create and release new music, because the thing that really inspired him to create music in the first place was the grooves that sound waves implanted into vinyl records.

      Last time they played live as a band was the late 90’s sometime I think. Sage stormed off stage apparently unsatisfied with the sound from the hired Marshall amp he was using. Ever the stoic...

      4 times live over here in Hamburg/Germany, still play all of yer records at home very often, and when I was livin' down in the Black Forest inbetween also @ my own R'n'R radio show. Ya're not forgotten over here 'cause I know alot of Wipers fans personally. And I'm talkin' 'bout Hamburg alone here. I can't thank ya enuff for yer music! Take care Greg
