Oddball poor choice of words.

DADKNESS IMPRESIONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE HORRORS!

Closer is an album that hits the nerve. As someone who lives with long term mental health issues, it's not an easy listen but an essential piece of work.

“We’re all Frankie” after 5 minutes of noise is the most disturbing part

is this why frank zappa played there

LOU!!!!!!! Cool video thanks 🙏🏼

Reminds me of the Easybeats top man, and what he had to go through in life.

This is a song that a lot of ppl HATE, but I love it. :3

Enjoy the listen reggae since been a teen at 12,13 old. Now I'm late 30s and still heavy on Jamaican music! 🇯🇲 And also visiting local punk gigs. Good tribe!

Joan Jett was the one who help me the Germs and album 💿

Thank you for making this series. These kinds of songs always endlessly fascinate me for some reason.

The Archies were the first vtubers. Archie walked so Gawr Gura could run.

some songs are just meant to be fun and that's okay

:)

the Gorillaz of the 1960s

No, the legends, man. Print the legends. I can do an hour on the ultralight incident leading up to oar and all that weird stuff. Just read about him, not on the internet. Everything isnt on the internet, rather, everything's in the waback machine

Spring, 1968. Senior in high school. Me & 3 of my friends used to go to the Strip on Saturday nights to hang out, check the action, chase the Hippie girls &/or high school girls. One Saturday night, in the vicinity of the Whiskey, a couple of guys got into a fight. Real blows were being thrown. One of the guys? Wild Man Fischer. Fast forward to the mid 70's. I'm working for Capitol Records at the famous round building. I worked in the recording department. One day when I was coming back from lunch, I'm accosted in the parking lot behind the building by this disheveled guy. He asked me for a quarter. I said, "I know you. You're the Wild Man." He looked at me, eyes widened, incredulous. "You know who I am?" "Hell, yeah. I saw you get into a fight on the Strip back in the day." He beamed, big smile on his face. I guess I must have made his day. I gave him a dollar.

Nice video. I've been a bit obsessed with joy division at the moment. I've done more of an electronic cover of decades ruclips.net/video/zcYWdzk29so/видео.htmlsi=dTFaSv7BIR9C0zZX

Throbbing Gristle frightened me as a teen, but I was fascinated by them. I still listen to them and watch their terrifying live performances and documentaries

Outsider music= no talent incompetance.Not always,but mostly

i'm absolutely mystified by this song right now, it is one of those songs which perfectly recreates the feeling of watching a horror film alone in a dark room, love it.

I had the vinyl album of NOTHING SCARY when I was 12 because my older brother left it behind when he moved out of the house. Now I am 35 years older than back then and I own the CD versions of all 4 of Larry's albums, but it's the simple beauty, frankness, and pure existential angst of NOTHING SCARY which makes it Larry's perfect album i.m.o.

Schizophrenia is often a double edged sword bringing creativity and chaos in equal measure. One of my favorite artists is Walter Anderson, who was also diagnosed with schizophrenia; he was incredibly lucky to have a family and community that sheltered him and allowed him to thrive. Very few with this condition have been so lucky, though medications have seriously improved over time, so maybe there will be a balance had where the chaos is controlled but the creativity can still blossom. Thank you for an excellent video.

I'm having Dr. Demento flashbacks.

Sorry, but I think calling anyone "The Godfather of Outsider Music" reveals quite a narrow view of music-making in the history of humankind and about the term "outsider" itself. What about the thousands upon thousands of incredible self-taught amateur musicians we've never heard of - all throughout the world for centuries and centuries before our time? If we go with Irwin Chusid's definition that you quote, there has been "outsider artists" for millennia, most probably on all continents. "Outsider music" is not a style and Larry "Wild Man" Fischer did not pioneer it. There is simply zero stylistic similarities between him, Lucia Pamela and Moondog, for instance.

A tiny tiny tiny of this goes a long way.

I enjoyed the video but it makes the same dangerous mistake that many fall into with maverick and eccentric artists who were severely debilitated with mental health problems i.e. it implies that the mental illness was the muse that deserted the host when their medication/treatment kicked in. The likes of Wild Man Fischer, Syd Barrett, Graham Bond, Thelonious Monk and Roky Erikson were creative in spite of their mental illness not because of it.

He had a near Brian Wilson experience where he thought Phil Spector was going to do him in.

Wesley Willis it great BTW and I high suggest looking up his song on here. "Batman Kicked My Ass" is only one of many greats.

PIPCO!

Rhino Records was just a store when that promo 45 being made. The first release was that 45.

A thoughtful, empathetic and sensitive video. Thank you.

My high school buddies and me all bought copies of An Evening with Wild Man Fischer. Because we were Zappa fans.

Thanks to medical advances ? I've always been afraid of people who would keep me alive if I was in a state like this

If the outsider musician doesn't care what people think of them, why do they try to get their music heard? Shouldn't they, by definition, be completely unknown? A true outsider is obscure and their music cannot be found on any platform. Why? Because they are outsiders.

nice picture of Rhino Records Montclair at 7:03 ! Not affiliated with the record label (not since the 1970's). But it is a local institution. I worked there for around 12 years when it was located in the Claremont Village.

Wild Man Fischer was the man!

moondog

Thank you! I didn’t know any of this even though I’ve got a couple of his records. I became interested in outsider music about 40 years ago, and collected mainly Swedish and European albums. In the mid 80’s I stumbled over The Rhino Brothers' Greatest Flops and realized there was people in the states who cherished this cultural inheritance as well. However, on the The Rhino Brothers' Greatest Flops album there’s a song called I'm The Creature From Outer Space by Wild Man, Jr. I haven’t been able to figure out if this in fact is Wild Man Fisher or someone completely different. Any one who knows here in the comment section?

David Bowie quoted this guy as not playing with a full deck. I remember reading a MOJO magazine outsider special that had a sort of musical fugazi deck of cards of the most involuntary disturbed artists who had abit of screw loose in their genius. Vince Taylor was one as well , and Roky Erickson as well i think, maybe John Fahey as well as other oddballs.

The Futurists graced the early 20th century; they were certainly experimental outsiders. Syd Barrett created great music as well right around the same time as Fischer. A group called the Residents started around that time as well. Have you heard of Daniel Johnston? It's amazing encountering people that have a wide open ray of light to their unique creative source. Look forward to seeing more.

super! Wild Man! his songs make make guffaw and sob in equal measure. That's an artist.

Amazing video my friend! I never been this happy since I filed the divorce papers! :)

Very insightful video! Nice

Poggers he's back! UWU LET'S GO! Now all i need is for my dad to come back from getting milk and i'll have everything back.

hes BACk baby!!!

“Very Friendly” is another TG dark song based on a real life event.

By far the most disturbing Throbbing Gristle song is “Slug Bait”.

I was just commenting on another Manics related video, and if you haven't heard it, a great view into Ritchie's mind (at the end, sadly) is The Holy Bible. The bands 1994 album. It's an experience. It's not a "good time" album 😅 but a MUST hear. The most harrowing lyrics about anorexicia ever.
