My only other constant pain is in my ring finger, which was broken during an Anal **** show, as I was sieg hailing, which offended this terrifically fat skinhead who apparently didn't realize he was at an Anal **** show... but, the cool thing was, when I was lying, sprawled out on the floor, they launched into a variety of songs about Hitler, and I got a girl out of it. So I count that as a win, even if it makes typing awkward.

And much lulz was had. I thought he was trolling me at first, but a quick search revealed this metal forum does not yet have a thread about Anal ****. So, I decided to remedy that situation.
Firstly, the sad part: Seth Putnam is dead,
Quote:
The Guardian reports that Seth Putnam, longtime frontman for the deliriously misanthropic, ecstatically offensive grindcore band Anal ****, has died of a heart attack; his publicist Grim Kim Kelly posted the news on her Tumblr yesterday. Putnam was 43.As Kelly writes, Putnam had a number of different musical projects, with ridiculous names like Vaginal Jesus and Adolph Satan, and he collaborated with metal bands like Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, Napalm Death, and Eyehategod. But he'll always be best known for Anal ****, the band he formed in Massachusetts in 1988.
Anal **** quickly became notorious for their brief, throat-shred songs, their confrontational live shows, their constantly-shifting lineups, and, more than anything else, their song titles, almost all of which were intentionally offensive to ridiculous degrees: "Caring About Anything Is Gay", "Don't Offer Me Weak Drugs or I'll Kick Your ****ing Ass", "I Sold Your Dog to a Chinese Restaurant". (These are some of their milder works.)
Below, check out a clip of Anal **** performing at a Maryland park, to a sparse and terrified-looking crowd, in 1993. Also, watch their video for the self-explanatory "311 Sucks".
So, first things first, what did the only original member of Anal ****, Seth Putnam, think of this sort of behavior:
Quote:
On stage, didst thou ever have the crowd perform a group Zieg Heil to thee?
Many times.
Wert thou in an SS uniform?
I wish I was.
So how did that go over?
We’ve done songs by racist bands live a million times and it has always been well received by the crowd. Are you familiar with the band Vaginal Jesus?
Ain’t never.
I’ll send you a copy. Actually they’ve been around since like 1988. They make Screwdriver sound like the most unracist band ever. We do Vaginal Jesus covers a lot. You know how oi bands are racist bands... sort of like cover up things... Vaginal Jesus is completely blatant like , I hate ******s, or I hate jews. So we do those covers a lot. People know that we’re friends with Vaginal Jesus, and when we do those songs everyone is totally psyched.
While thou art trying to make people Zieg Heil...
Can you talk in normal English? Can you talk in American? You can write it later in like gay pompous English.
No, I’ll do you a favor since I do it to Swedish *******s because they can’t understand me either. While you’re making people Zieg heil you...
We don’t make them do it. They just do it by themselves.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I don’t force anyone to do it. But when people do it I’m psyched. I don’t stop them from doing it. I’ll do it as an example and people will keep doing it, but I’m not against other people doing it and I’ve never frowned on other people doing it. Actually I encourage it and try to get them to do it some more.
Even before A.C. started, I was a pretty well-known ******* around here, especially tormenting bands when they were playing and getting into fights with Possessed when they came, and wearing John Travolta suits when Wargasm played and "break dance" during the whole show and stuff like that. They 'd be totally mad and wouldn't want to finish playing. I just made it more of an international level kind of thing, being a dick to everyone across the planet.
He went to art school when he was younger
He wanted to be a painter
Hitler was a vegetarian
He was also a non-smoker
[Chorus]
He hired gay and handicapped officers
He was concerned about overpopulation
If Hitler were alive today
He’d listen to The Cure, The Smiths, and Depeche Mode
[Chorus]
Quote:
we just wanted to sound like ****
but you thought we were avant garde
you thought we went to art school
but we worked at gas stations
you thought we were cool
but you diden't know we hate you
you thought we were cool
**** off all you ****ing ***gots
you diden't know we were a bunch of *******s
you thought we were liberal and arty
you tried to act wierd and pretend you were violent
when I whipped chairs at you, you can off and cried
you thought we were cool
but you diden't know we hate you
you thought we were cool
**** off all you ****ing ***gots
once you realized we hate people like you
you finally stopped coming to our shows
now there's less ***gots, less people with glasses
less know it all eggheads, no more jazz ***s
you thought we were cool
but you diden't know we hate you
you thought we were cool
**** off all you ****ing ***gots
This next track is especially memorable, as it was recorded after Seth got out of his attempted-suicide induced coma:
Quote:
Picking up sluts in a bar
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Getting head in the back of my car
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Blowing eardrums with my Marshall stacks
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Shooting heroin and smoking crack
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
You said you're eighteen but you're only twelve
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
You said you're racist and you've got big tits
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
You pay my bar tab with your parents card
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
You work all day while I **** other chicks
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
[Chorus]
You invite us over to *** in your face
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Me and the boys end up trashing the place
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Tons of sluts fighting over my ***
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
Don't worry sluts, you'll all get some
**** Yeah! **** Yeah!
[Chorus]
This next one is one of their more famous, and it remains a favorite because, well.... there are people who actually right **** like this. Hell, Crass practically made a career off preaching this nonsense.

Help! This is Mother Earth!
Somebody please help me!
The corporations don't even care
While the rain forests go bare
Oil spills & tanker wrecks
Don't show the sea creatures any respect
The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?
Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need
You stand by and watch the corporate rape
But not me, I made this tape
After 12 years of Bush & Reagan
We've become an insensitive nation
The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?
Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need
Corporate greed, rape and crime
The laws are stepped on all the time
Polluting the water, they don't even think
But their money won't help when there's none left to drink
The park turned into a parking lot
The woods turned into a shopping mall
The swimming hole turned into a sewer dump
Isn't there anyone who cares at all?
Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed
Greed is something that we don't need
Hmm.
Well, that's all for now.
Anyone else got any other Anal **** stories? Interviews? Favorite songs?
