100% not crap. Killdozer rocks.

Knuckles the Dog What a Very Good Dog You Are!

Not Crap.

There are 6 people on this forum who are crap though.

If you cannot see the greatness in Killdozer, you are an obvious schmuck.

And I mean that sincerely.

The Short Eyes 45 is one of the best singles ever.

Knuckles the Dog also makes me feel sadness. How does a song that insane and calculatedly absurd make me feel sorrow. I don't know.

But Hamburger martyr, THAT only makes me cry with joy.

"Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck you. You call this a hamburger?"

...

"And you call this cup of shit coffee? Well I'd rather drink from the dick of a goat."

Agreed. Driving up to Madison last weekend, we all had a good laugh listening to this.

"I could make a better hamburger with my asshole!"

I still think Man Vs Nature is their best thing.

It never fails to make me laugh till I cry with it's sarcasm.

I see this is an old thread but if ever a band was deserving of an old
thread being revived it's Killdozer.

Genius.

I was playing "Google Killdozer" a couple months ago and came upon an interview where Michael talked about being really really influenced by the Birthday Party when they first started...something that never occured to me at all. So I put on their first couple records and he was totally right! He even does Cave-like grunting on 'Farmer Johnson'.

Anyway....I love Killdozer. Killdozer and Neil Young were the two artists I listened to over and over and over in my formative years, and nothing else. My favourite Killdozer cover is not a classic rock song at all...it's "Unbelievable".

A band with the finest and funniest choice of cover numbers ever. "I'm not Lisa", "Nasty", "Unbelievable", all of "For Ladies Only"... amongst many others.

If their own music was average they'd still merit a not crap.

Their music is way above average. Many years ago at uni I used to play "the King of Sex" off Snakeboy about every fifteen minutes. At uni I was not the king of sex.

Needless to say that irony was lost on me til now. The menacing, aggressive, funny and smart music was not.

Not crap.

Oddly enough, there were two other people in the band besides Mr. Gerald. The Hobson brothers, Bill and Dan.

And Bill and Dan were from Minneapolis. They "became" a Wisconsin band while going to school in Madison. Bill and Dan used to be in a band here previous to Killdozer, and now I cannot seem to remember their name, but they used to play the same time we started playing shows, around '81 or so.

I used to work with Bill a bit in the film biz, I believe he moved out west to follow the work. He taught me how to be a better fly-fisherman. A great guy.

Also, nobody seems to have mentioned that Tom Hazelmyer did a stint as guitarist after Bill left the band.
