All right. I agree that Skinny Puppy was Intense, With A Capital I, after all, Who else would show video tape coverage of a slaughter-house in action, but the REAL THING? Two people punching buttons and a vocalist moaning and Screaming into heavy reverb just doesn't cut it. Also, when someone comes onstage in a body bag and starts oozing blood and guts, I call that genuine Death Rock. About Severed Heads: Although I'm not an "art-damaged neopunk nor an industrial music froghead, I enjoy listening to them on vinyl. On stage, Two people punching buttons ALONE is little better than having a friend put on a Severed Heads Record fer yer listenin' enjoyment. Overheard after Severed Heads left the stage: "Well, flip over the record and let's listen to the other side!"
