Jun 23, 2008 - Nobody has ever told *me* something was "cool" and gotten me to go along with it. If that were true my entire music collection would be completely and thoroughly different from what it is. I collect what I collect for myself not assholes who authoritatively assert, "This is great, that is shit." Would you allow some schmuck to come into your house, rearrange your furniture, repaint your house inside and out and change anything *they* decided was *wrong*? I doubt it. In the same way, no one

Jun 23, 2008 - [continued] has ever slapped a CD or LP in my hand and said, "Listen to this good music, throw out your crap." No, never, ever. I've never looked for a show of hands to tell me, "Yes!" or "No!" -- only if the glove fits naturally will I wear it. (And one final thing: I've sat through hours of *other peoples'* shit ready to blow my guts on the floor it was so bloody fucking "good"!

Jun 23, 2008 - Froderoo, if i tell you nobody ever told me they were cool, your statement doesn't hold, and it seems like i'm not the only one who can say this. Also, nobody ever told you you have to like this stuff. And even if it isn't meant to be pleasant to listen to, i'd say it is.

Jun 25, 2008 - Hey froderoo, guess what? I love to listen to this music, and I'm 14! Do you think any of my friends think I'm cool for listening to this? HELL NO. I like this music because I think it's enjoyable to listen to, and it's creative :)

Jul 2, 2008 - froderoo !! At the end of the day.. like it or not this is art...and also part of History! This like any art should be be seen in a context of its day to try to understand its relevance.. to compare it with something conventional is quite absurd. Captain Beefheart recorded the "first musical Video of all timer" in 1972 with "lick my decals baby" and this tape is stored in the Museum of modern Art in LA He has also been called the Father of "Punk" and clearly influenced the New York Dolls...

Jul 6, 2008 - I guess it was a revolution at the time. But since I wasn't there to know what was already created and what not...It's hard to say anything else but my opinion that this is one of the painful things I could ever listen to.

roklaw Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - All I want to say is thank fuck some guy called Jack White listened to the Captain. I think personal opinions should be accepted, digested and filed. If someone don't like it, well that's great, it's one less sheep for all I care.

Jul 25, 2008 - Trout Mask Replica is one of the very greatest recordings anyone's done, genuinely special.

Aug 9, 2008 - youre obviously looking for something that aint there... suffering is the desire for comfort

Sunchild333 Says:

Aug 9, 2008 - I'm not saying it's shit or anything...Just that it's out of my pleasant listening range. I can listen to all sorts of stuff but I simply can't find anything that would suit my taste in this. Don't know why thumbs down if I said on purpose that it's only my opinion.

funkbass69 Says:

Aug 19, 2008 - well, you listed "Emerson, Lake and Palmer" as one of your favorite bands...so that right there shows that your opinion can't possibly be of importance.

Sunchild333 Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - And that, sir, is not an opinion?

m0t0fr3ak Says:

Aug 21, 2008 - wtf? this is just not music...

Aug 23, 2008 - Try listening to the album a few times- it didn't "work" for me immediately

lofi73 Says:

Aug 25, 2008 - I love this.Must be one of the first live performances of Trout-material.The Captain brought a lyric sheet!?

BradfordMan Says:

Sep 1, 2008 - I honestly don't understand why people are taking time out their day to watch this and then leave comments about how they don't like. I also don't understand why I'm taking time out my day to type this message. So I guess I'll stop right here...
