Every time I hear the part about the ice pick I kind of tear up. Those kids cared and I'm so grateful for their intervention and Ogre's willingness to hear them.
I have always had a lot of respect for Skinny Puppy. Glad Ogre is in a good place now at 60. These things take time and unfortunately many never reach it. Hope this helps others out there suffering.
I truly thank the person who filmed this; it is such an amazing insight into Orge's mindset. He's an humanist at this core, and an intelligent, creative and powerful human being, and quite humble in regard to his many people talents. My husband has been a fanatic of all of his music for decades; I met my husband when we were both 16 and have been together since then. He is now 43 and I'm 42. We went to two of their shows on this tour and it was cathartic for him seeing SP complete their musical journey. My husband cried all the way through "Worlock", embarrassing so (from his prospective), but I think it's not something to be ashamed of. SP has been a huge part of his life and therfore, our lives for so long. It's wild how music guides you through life; the ups and downs, highs and lows...its a journey. I think it's beautiful. I am SO grateful for all the music through the years, and beyond that, humbled to have been part of it, seeing Orge perform with SP back in the late 1990s through a few months ago. I just don't have the words to describe it properly, so I'm rambling to a bunch of strangers who might read this... Thank you. Just thank you.
met him last week, really sweet guy and really nice human being. They put on a great show and it was wonderful. anyone spreading nonsense are idiots and not worthy of the music.
Lack of pretension for such a provocative and theatrical band is not an easy thing to do. I'm glad I got to see you live finally. Was on my bucket list.
come on guys no negative comments on here this is skinny puppy for gods sake,first off im 53 and was jamming them in the 80's he is 60 yrs old,he used to crawl around bending his knee's on stage all night good lord that makes my knees hurt thinking about it,so he out grew the blood and stuff so what,its a change in his life,I THINK that you who were there got to see something super awesome,Ogre telling us how he really feels deep down inside,now how man people have got to witness that ? huh i would imagine not many.i love the dude i think he's a great guy,i love all animals just like him and i hope he is a very happy man these days.cant party for ever guys.
I was at the Montreal show, it was my first time seeing them live and (probably the last if it's really their last tour). I was blown away and it was everything I could have asked for. The crowd was mostly Gen X or boomers. They were the ones who have seen the band at their most crazy era and I feel like these were the ones making most of the complaining online. These guys are in the 60s... You can't expect them to get on stilts, wear multiple elaborate costumes and drench themselves in blood every night for more than a month. People have become spoiled and have unrealistic standards. I think that the Kevins had great energy at the show, a lot more than I would have thought considering their age, especially considering how hard it is on the body and mind to tour. I found that the show was even better once all costumes were off. Just Skinny Puppy being their realest selves waving goodbye one last time. If you talk shit about Skinny Puppy because of this, perhaps you were not there for the music and you were there for the wrong reasons.
Jeez, yea I’d say it was the younger crowd. It seems instead of going to shows, music or whatever it may be, if it’s not what their own expectations were,!instead of appreciating the show that is genuinely worked hard on and performed for them, they go right to social media and complain and put some kind of bratty outlook on it. It must suck going through life being and acting that way. Learn to appreciate, understand, and enjoy things instead of putting your own expectations that might no coincide with every other person, or the artist themselves, that it seems they are in a good place in life and it feels they are genuinely happy, and that’s great to see, knowing they have brought us all happiness. Thank you cEvin, Ohgr, Mathew, all members(past n present)of skinny puppy, forever will be a fan of these legends
To me, Skinny Puppy's music has always been about all the horrific shit out there in the world and how it gets thrown at you and you have to be stronger than it and not let it overtake you. I find it very uplifting and inspiring and it has always been there for me in good times and bad. Great speech Ogre. I wish I could give you a big hug! I hope there's another leg of the tour they book and I can see them again one last time
Saw you Opening night and it was amazing!! Ohgr your voice and theatrics were incredible !! The haters can F off !!! Thank you for your honesty and 40 years of incredible sound !!
Dude is 60 and Cevin is 62. He could do it without the theatrics and I would have a great time. Unfortunately they cancelled the show I was supposed to go to. But I’ve seen them 6 times and Ohgr about 3 times so I’ve probably had my fill. Thanks for posting this.
Apparently bands cancel when they come to my city... The lead guy from nitzer ebb didn't show up and now I have a feeling skinny puppy's going to be cancelled. In the Baltimore/DC area. I'm so done going to concerts.
Apparently in Pittsburgh, they weren't told that ohgr cancelled until it was time for him to come on stage. That's unacceptable. Same thing happened to me with nitzer ebb and the venue didn't announce he was gonna no show. Needless to say I'm never going back there for any concert or going to a concert again.
dang i remember your magazine single. i got a lodge lodged up my butt and a situation in dogiyai i'm real concerned about. i also got a couple decades practical audio dsp experience that says not today MK. when i work on base, only my left ear picks up. people are useless.
I just wanna give him a big ol' "psychic" hug. So glad he made it tru to a better place, and hey, to if you're out there whomever it was that wrote him the note, thank you! You're my hero. 💚
Thank you very much for posting this video. I came on board with Skinny Puppy during the “Rabies” era, seeing them live in Detroit on both their “Too Dark Park” and “Last Rights” tours. After watching some new concert footage and comparing it to my own experiences, like others, I too was underwhelmed by the new stage set-up and theatrics, as well as the zombie-like audience just standing placidly in place with phones raised in unison, filming instead of participating. Where was the raw energy between stage and audience? Doesn’t anyone feel the music? I rode the crowd for the first time in my life at my first Skinny Puppy concert during “Tin Omen”, and stage-dived with blood streaming from my nose at Pigface directly in line of Ogre’s intense eyes back in the early ‘90s. Yesterday, I almost left a negative comment on a recent Skinny Puppy video from this final tour, but stopped myself- I am glad that I did. Authenticity is very important, and lacking in many aspects of society today. We are all older now, and we change, as people naturally do, over the years. I am glad that Ogre is not self-destructing as a form of theater in front of our eyes, and is in a more positive mindset than he used to be when he struggled with his demons on stage. Although I never went as deep into the darkness as Ogre and others did, I too have grown to become a more positive person over time, and deeply appreciate Ogre’s earnestness, authenticity, and overall change for the better. I was lucky to have met him briefly at Motor City Nightmares in 2014, and treasure my old autographed “Too Dark Park” cd album art insert, framed on a wall in my house. There is only a drive in my life for bettering myself, making good memories, and maintaining positive relationships with people. That is all I want…but I do still have one small negative critique of Skinny Puppy’s FINAL tour: Why TWO Ohio shows but ZERO in Michigan? HOW CAN YOU MISS DETROIT?!! Ha ha ha!
I didn't see this until now, I am so happy he's in a great place now and also addressed the people complaining about how they should present on stage. I was happy with what we got and I'd rather him be authentic then putting on a show that doesn't represent where he is at.
Wow I feel incredibly bad I made a comment the other day online that the theatrical aspect of the show seemed a lil underwhelming for a final tour. I never even thought about the things he said here. I feel really bad & want to apologize publicly to whomever saw it(can’t remember which video)(not the comments he mentioned specifically tho) I think what he said here really puts it into perspective. It was cool hearing from Kevin Graham Ogilvie as opposed to ogre the character Thanks for uploading this God bless you all Much love
@@respobabs the man is 60 yrs old ok,not in his young 20's anymore.he outgrew it and im sure his knee's bother him from crawling around on stage all night you know,what these people saw was something i bet no one else has ever seen,ogre talking deep about his true feelings i think that everyone that loves him and his music should show a little respect and leave out the bad comments,im sure he doesnt want to read them,go leave bad comments on a biden video instead lol later..
hi, this is reality here. if you want to notice some of this sh sometime, cut it tak u a wile. anyway, it's coming to kick your ass holmes even if you want to play with your toys. free, the f out of a merdeka today you don't even understand baby boy useless
Last Skinny Puppy show I saw was the “Greater Wrong of the Right” tour. He didn’t do any of that stuff and it was the best Skinny Puppy show I think a I’ve ever seen.
Ogre came over to my house after Bauhaus reunion show. I went to the show alone as the guy I was seeing was being a douche. I went to the show awardedly alone. I got into the venue and omg, OGRE was next to
I remember reading these comments and people saying stuff like “they forgot they’re Skinny Puppy..” but videos of this last tour seem like it was an awesome show.
the real tragedy here is not that the performance started or stopped being about an icepick, but that the performance started bwing abou tthe performance instead of the message. i got people going through a genocide you don't even know exists but back for SIXTY YEARS in we, 5t, 949ua. and the domestic things i can't type if this is gonna be visible. thanks guys for caring.
Feel like I grew up with Skinny Puppy as they grew, but I'm on the younger end of the band's lifetime. I saw them live for the first time on The Greater Wrong Of The Right tour, I saw them at Eye Vs. Spy, I saw OhGr on the Tricks Tour, and I just saw them on this tour this year. And honestly, I don't think I would have liked it with the sort of theatrics I enjoyed at The Greater Wrong of the Right when I was a punk-ass 17-year-old. They closed their career out well and I'll always love these guys. But goddamn do I hope OhGr does a final hurrah somewhere. I'll take time off and travel for that if I have to. Tricks Tour at Underground Arts in Philly was KILLER, and that's despite Ogre having his jaw randomly broken. Welcome to Philly, my guy! 😂
I always used to love all the blood, gore and guts. It was part of their show. Great theatric art. Of course we all know self-mutilation is not a good example for some vulnerable souls but back in the day I think most people saw through that. Ogre is a sincere seeking spirit and its good to hear he has evolved over time.
You finally are growing up. You were the first authentic people i ever met. I was with Dwayne in that hotel in Tampa. It was the last time we spent the night together. Im sorry for hurting you. You never gave me a chance to absolve us.
Uh yeah, you don't actually have to be suicidal or whatever to use fake blood and do horror theatrics. At all. SP changed the stageshow from what it used to be back when they were a trailblazing, underground cultural force, and some people think the new show isn't as good. I am one of them. To me, this seems like a dishonest response from him to the criticism. If he's not feeling SP anymore, then don't do SP shows. Doing it kinda halfway is just bad. I sat this tour out for this reason.
@@respobabsyou don't get it, because your own terms are what dictate truth and what all things should be. He gave his explanation and it was authentic, you clearly never understood this band for anything other than what you wanted to see it as. You don't like it, that's as deep as it goes, and that's fine.
damn they were here and i didnt even know,ive been jamming skinny puppy since 1988 cruising around smoking weed,doing lsd,and extacy and what ever and yea im 53 now funny thing is ive been watching skinny puppy live video's and the cure here the last week early in the mornings when i cant sleep and get up at like 4 am,and wow they were just here,i was excited to hear the cure got the rock-n-roll hall of fame in 2019 i didnt even know that,i saw them in 1989 at the summit,good stuff to hear ogre talk.
I've rewatched it a few times, Ogre is such an inspirational human being and he inpsires me to strive to be authentic every day.
Me too! I saw where Cevin promoted a Gofundme and took the time to donate himself. Now that is authentic.
Every time I hear the part about the ice pick I kind of tear up. Those kids cared and I'm so grateful for their intervention and Ogre's willingness to hear them.
Me too 😢 I'm a not quite recovered self harmer and hearing people talk about it is tear inducing. I'm so glad he's jn a good place now 🖤

met him last week, really sweet guy and really nice human being. They put on a great show and it was wonderful. anyone spreading nonsense are idiots and not worthy of the music.
All that really matters is that they had fun and the performance was good. And they DELIVERED!
AND he's in a better place mentally. Saw them last night in SLC....great show (as always).
Lack of pretension for such a provocative and theatrical band is not an easy thing to do. I'm glad I got to see you live finally. Was on my bucket list.
skinny puppy changed my life in 1993, when i was a wee 14 year old. i'm 44 now, and they still change my life every single day.
