Yes. I saw them live, too. It was in an old movie theater in Staten Island. At the time, it reinforced the perception that they were totally unappreciated. I knew few Beefheart fans. People would say "how can you listen to that?". I couldn't understand why they couldn't. Then a band like the Talkin' Heads would come along, they'd go orgasmic, and I'd wonder what's the big freakin' deal? Their shit was boring after the fifth listening.

For someone who pretends to know all about this scene, it's quite strange you constantly referring to him as Vlient, while it's Van Vliet (or Vliet really). And are you on anti-psychotics? If not, you should.

het, sry all u beefheart fans. I cant get in too most of beefhearts albums, i really like clearspot and safe as milk. but, fuking hell i realy dont get trountface repucla - maybe ill get it when i am older. to me beefheart just seems like one of them artists who doesnt really know why he is good, like mark E smith. Because in troutmask replica it seems to me that the Idea has became more important than the music, in my opinion that is no longer music - maybe art. correct me if i am wrong cheers

Hi Jack
I own every official Beefheart record and quite a few (commercialized) bootlegs. I listened many times to all of them and I can only agree with you. TMR is so inaccessible that even for a big fan of his music it is difficult to honestly like it. You can be bewildered by the raw power and musical extravagance of the album, but sincerely being fulfilled with it, I doubt.
To me there are four masterpieces: Safe as milk, Clear spot, Shiny beast and the original tapes of Strictly Personal.

I love Beefheart but i totally agree with some of the people here i dont like TMR simply because its un-listenable, i can't sit there and listen to TMR and enjoy it as i can with safe as milk etc, i do agree it is avant-garde but i'm not a fan of it at all. I still think beefheart was soo talented though
