Can anyone verify my co-worker's Butthole Surfers story?

I worked briefly with a guy who claimed that he was called on to play bass for the Butthole Surfers. He was introduced by some mutual friend, while their bassist was in rehab. He said he played with them on TV; I believe it was on Letterman. Sure enough there is a video of them on Letterman, but the lighting is bad and they never focus on the bass player. I can't even tell if it's him in the video or not.

So did the Butthole Surfers have an obscure replacement bassist for a short time, possibly named John, who performed with them on a TV show?

Soundboard Recording - San Francisco 1986

Do you feel like surfing the cosmos with the Buttholes?

Engineered the audio for a great early Surfer's show, and put it to some video of floating in space. It was a ganja-induced idea, and I'm stickin' to it. ha!

Jokes aside, great show. Smoke 'em if ya' got 'em and crank it loud

Peel Sessions Vatican radio records

Found this bootleg awhile ago and finally got a chance to listen to it properly. These sessions done in 87 and 88 were so freaking awesome. The record sounds great as well which is awesome because sometimes boots sound like dog dirt. Edgar, Nee Nee and To Parter are probably my favorites off of it. If you find it in the wild pick it up!

Revelation?

I found the Electriclarryland album in my garage when I was a kid. The year 2000. I was approximately 9 years old.
I have a brother who is 10 years older than me. Must not have been his cup of tea.
Holy fuck, was it mine.

I’m 35 years old now.

Got day drunk on a Sunday (like, right now) on my own, and listened to the whole album for the first time in a decade. Cough Syrup is my favorite.

But more importantly, TV Star sounds exactly like a Carpenter’s song but inside of a haunted house.

Movie

I think we are going to be able to watch this soon… I just want to see this movie so bad! Like I can’t even imagine the hype being as good but this band is so beyond that there is nothing about this movie that is going to be bad!

I saw the butthole surfers live twice… Once they opened for Stone Temple Pilots… (I actively dislike STP… I went for the Surfers), Once I saw them open for the Reverend Horton Heat… oh shit! I’ve seen them three times… because I saw them open for Nirvana… Which was the last Seattle show… Kurt was dead 3 or so months later… Traumatizing! But the Butthole Surfers were being amazing! Gibby lit his keyboards on fire and their pyrotechnics were being Just Wow!… weirdly bobcat goldthwait was the emcee and he was dressed as a pirate??? It was still the most insane show I’ve ever seen!!!
