The Plasmatics - Butcher Baby

I doubt you'll ever see a more deranged and energetic live performance that this one dating, I guess, to the early 80s. Townsend may have smashed his guitar and Hendrix set his on fire but Wendy O. Williams is quite possibly the only one to have cut hers in half with a frickin' chainsaw. Imagine the health and safety hoops you'd have to jump through (carefully mind you and with an appropriate safety net) these days to pull such a stunt. Sadly Wendy O was a troubled soul and after a couple of failed suicide attempts finally succeeded by shooting herself with a pistol almost 21 years ago noting in a note she left behind that 'much of the world makes no sense'. Blimey imagine what she'd make of 2019 eh?
