Revolting Cocks doing "Do ya think I'm sexy"!!!
I taped this off MTV's "120 min" in around 1992 along with a Chris Connelly interview. Connelly was the lead singer at the time and one of the things he said was that the video is directed by the guy who did the special effects for the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. To me it looks more like it could have been done by someone who did the SFX for the much gorier sequel, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, part 2 but anyway I haven't actually been able to establish the connection between any of them, neither the video nor any of the films. EDIT: 12 years later and I've just rewatched the old Chris Connelly interview and I CLEARLY GOT IT WRONG the first time around! He doesn't mention that the director (Tom Rainone) directed TCM. He said that some of the castmembers from the original TCM are in the music video. D'oh!!! /Jack, 19.12.2022) And now I can't even remember the fucken director's name, hahaha. Arrr, sod it. Just watch this piece of brilliant trash popculture. There's stuff from 1980s splatter movies in there, there's psychotronica galore, and awesome chicks. One of the actors from TCM is there and Scott Ian (of Anthrax) shoots a machine gun in there somewhere too. Play this over and over all night. The picture quality is a li'l low but if you really wanna watch it properly it's out on DVD (incidentally a Ministry DVD!).
If I'm not mistaken, Tom Rainone directed it.
ReplyDeleteJesus......I haven't seen that video in a long, long time.
Yes, he did. Someone else informed me about that as well this afternoon. Thanks, Erik. And I can't actually find any link between him and any of the TCM films so I suspect Chris Connelly got it wrong. Rainone did do the SFX on BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR though.
ReplyDeleteAnd it does feature a cameo from Edwin Neal who was the hitch-hiker in the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
Would be the perfect double-bill with Chris Cunningham's Aphex Twin videos ;-D
ReplyDeleteThanx for the walk down memory lane...
