The Brown Reason To Live/PPP EP is OK, but I think one of the best representaions of the Butthole Surfers early period is the truly excellent 'Blind Eye See's All' video that was shot in early 1985. It's primarily from a couple of Detroit shows in February and March 1985. The songs re broken up with an interview that they did where they were very clearly under the influence of chemical compounds.
The video captures the best period of them when they still had the two standup drummers, and Kathleen the dancer, who has a relative that's posted to these forums. --It was originally released on VHS by Touch&Go, and was subsequently out of print for years until the past year or so, where it is now available as a DVD from the Butthole Surfers website.

Fugazi are great; but the most notable noise rock band I'm into are Sonic Youth. Their use of feedback, wilful experimentalism, and most importantly the way they use guitars as virtually anything but traditional guitars (alternate tunings, drumsticks, etc.) is an inspiration to me and I've often straight-out ripped them off. But I do experiment with my own tunings and f**k about with my guitars, so it's not all plagiarism.
Basically, Sonic Youth are awesome. |

In 1991, a local music store in Maine had a 64 Fender Jaguar guitar on sale fairly cheaply due to the fact that the paint had been stripped from the body, saned down to the bare wood, and when refinished with clear laquer. I went to trade anold Marshall amp that I had for the guitar. When I go to the store with my amp, the Jaguar was gone. --You can see it on Lee Ranaldo's website though, as it wasn't in their equipment van when that got stolen in 1999.
The day before I brought the amp in, Sonic Youth had opened a show for Neil Young, but before that, He was in the music store, and bought the guitar that I wanted.
I don't know about the Blast First! releases of those bands, but they were on a bunch of differant labels here in the US.

| What exactly is noise rock? I like metal and some loud-sounding rock -- gothic rock, alternative, hardcore, metalcore, etc... but I never heard of Noise Rock, or most of these bands for that matter. What genre is it compared to? |

It's basically an outgrouth of both the punk and metal scenes, Noise Rock is a bit more Avante Garde than either, and can be quite mathy at times. --Sonic Youth's 'Bad Moon Rising' CD is a good choice for your first Noise Rock CD. So is practically everything put out by The Boredoms, which is also a good introduction to the subgenre of Japanoise.
