Extreme live performances

[Dr Alex]

Recently I watched Death Squad live performance from Freak Animal festival. Ending with cutting is really extreme.
Share your live experience from some extreme performance. ...or some extreme video.

Survival Unit at War & Hate festival 2012. Set Teitan was guest vocalist and kicked a random guy at the front straight in the face. Looked rather painful. Set... well, he didn't wear sneakers.

Yeah, Bloodline played the same festival. Rather lame show though. And Set is no longer a member of Bloodline.
Watain can be pretty wild. The show in Linköping, Sweden 2006 is quite legendary over here. But they haven't lived up to that show since,  think. I guess it has to do with the bigger and more controlled venues they play nowadays.

Litter Shitter have performed some of the most olfactory/unhygenically extreme performances I've attended.

Sonically/atmosphere/words-wise, Brian Lewis Sander's set at "Extreme Rituals: A Schimpfluch Carnival" in bristol 2012 is the only noise show I've been to that nearly made me physically ill/have a panic attack, tho bit in Dave Phillips' set where there was a sudden move to timestretching, strobes and plants in the audience screaming came close too, thought for a moment I'd been spiked or something :D

+1 on that one. Funny that this set comes up and funny that somebody actually felt they way that I felt. Something about the intensity/volume/visuals/delivery that was straight forward nauseating and intimidating.

To blow my own trumpet a little, see http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=2971.0

Whitehouse as a three-piece 1996-2002 were extreme shows by any standards - amazing and memorable performances of catharsis, black comedy and transcendent visceral excitement.

Death Squad and Dave Phillips certainly can be memorably intense. There's a kind of dead-end of absurdity when it comes to self-conscious 'extremity' though - those two guys have content and intelligence but that story of some dimwitted heavy metal guy guesting with Survival Unit would seem to make GG Allin look deep.

Is Miley Cyrus's current stage show 'extreme'?

"Mainstream extreme" - the type of performance/art/movie etc. one gets from a mainstream source that then becomes a sounding board for the views and opinions of punters and the public alike, making money and gaining attention for the "artists" in the meantime. Not so much accepted as expected.

Sadly, I've never experienced a live performance that could be called "extreme". I've had ago at it myself, on a couple of occasions, but it seems to me that in Melbourne at least there is a dearth of PE/Noise/etc. artists who just don't want to take the opportunities to take performance to a level beyond simply playing. I'm really not sure why that is, the field is wide open.

Talking about mainstream extreme, I guess some of you have heard about the latest Lady Gaga stunt where she hired the chick who paints on canvas by puking on it to puke on her. Here's the video: http://youtu.be/K5ZnHssq4Fs?t=2m10s

Annoying as fuck but quite entertaining at the same time.

Eugenics Council seem to fit this to a tee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF4p-aW8vew

Could someone clarify wtf happened in that video? They set of somekind of pipebomb or what?

[P-K]

Whitehouse in Sotos-Best-Bennett line-up.....i really like the way they could heat up a crowd to scary-level without getting hurt :-)

old docile men now...

[tiny_tove]
