Chrome was a big influence on the Butthole Surfers music. You probably
don't need to listen too hard to get that point! They even invited
Helios Creed to play guitar on two songs for their first major label
release, Independent Worm Saloon on Capitol Records in 1993. Helios plays
guitar on "The Annoying Song" and "Clean It Up." Click Here to read some comments
from the Buttholes about playing with Helios. The Butthole Surfers
played a short mini tour in the summer of 2002 and for a few shows they
opened their set by covering 2 Chrome songs; "TV As Eyes" and "March of
The Chrome Police." Check out the video below of the Butthole Surfers
covering Chrome, video includes excellent sound quality as the board
recording was synced in by Craig Smith! I'm also offering the full,
uncompressed video file for download as well for those who wish not to
be limited to youtube compressed videos only. Enjoy.
