My most hated sample comes from houses and i dont know what song it is but its they guy on the phone to a radio station saying he cant take it anymore and hes going to kill himself or some shit. Yeah, don’t care for that one.
I do like the one on houses that has the old guy telling about how an old husband and wife are fighting and he says hes gonna kill her she says you dont have the guts and he blasts her in the bath tub. “Fine way to end married life…”

I kind of like that one. It’s so bleak and unsettling that I think it works for its purpose. “Do it, Man. Just blow your brains out.”

Yeah, that one’s wonderful.
On “Houses” I also really love “Wouldn’t it be nice to have all the fried chicken you want?”

Ha Ha I forgot about that one. Yeah that one always makes me laugh. I also like the same guy telling you not to send “dead chickens back because the post office…”
Yeah, that one’s wonderful.

Reminds me a bit of an extended commercial that was broadcast through the Chicago area at the time that Atkins was with Killing Joke, which begins with “when was the last time you had a tender, juicy steak?”.
[url https://youtu.be/dCs0D6AJUuM]Almost the full commercial was used on the KJ track ‘Age of Greed’, and I nearly rolled out of my seat laughing when I first heard it…my brother and I had committed that stupid commercial to memory before that track was released, and based whole in-jokey comic routines off of it.

I can’t think of a Skinny Puppy song that was fucked up by samples.
Second Tooth. The sample from Legend, “Black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch!” is so cheesy and out of place.
Exorcist III?
Weird. I’ve never even seen the movie.
It’s actually really good, very creepy. Brad Dourif turns up in it, playing a nutcase as usual. Gn’R sampled a George C Scott speech from Exorcist III on their track Madagascar, from Chinese Democracy.

Nah, it’s great. Skinny Puppy takes themselves less seriously than their fans do - they used a Bugs Bunny sample for cryin’ out loud!
I don’t even remember what song it was from or if I even liked it much (something from VIVIsectVI), but I liked when the one song ends with Jack Torrance’s “That’s okay. He saw it on the television” from The Shining.

I’ll agree that choice members of the SP fanbase - particularly when partaking of the weed - have a great knack for over-analyzing things which, themselves, were probably recorded while stoned and simply meant to lighten the musical atmosphere.
I remember one late night drive while the horror-funk of ‘Stairs and Flowers’ was bumping in the car, and I laughed at the “whaddya mean what happened…I just tripped over (or was it ‘fell down?’ Can’t honestly remember) these goddam stairs!” sample. My passenger immediately started going off on this rant about “if ya think about it man…we’re all tripping down the GODDAM STAIRS!”
“Ok…what do you mean exactly?” I foolishly asked my passenger when I should have just nodded “mm-hmmm” and let it go at that.
“Well,” he replied breathlessly “the STAIRS symbolize human progress, right, but each step forward we take is really a step back, and next thing you know all of our human artifice is literally making us forget about the FLOWERS, man, and…”
…you get the point…
Sounds like a painful car ride!
I like a decent amount of Puppy quite a bit, but their fans can be a lot to take. That said, the interview with the American Records A&R guy who repped them for The Process makes the band appear like a bunch of passive aggressive annoying twits. I suspect that was them at their worst, but ocassionally I’ll read an interview with Key where I feel the guy would really get under my skin if I ever hung out with him.
That is exactly why I hate stoners.
And yeah, Puppy fans can be lodged a bit too far up their own asses. So I suppose combining the two in my presence would result in a homicide charge.

It was either “Punks In Park’s Zoo” or “Yes He Ran”

^I love that one. I will never forget listening to that album for the first time.
I was glad to hear the “hello?” In Watch Yourself.
I think there was another thread that mentioned the words “be healed” in Lava. How sure are we that its Charles Manson or that its just a toy car?

My mistake - Charles Manson is sampled in Crumbs, not Lava. I got momentarily confused.
