Boyd Rice Intrigues Me

So where do I begin record-wise? Could I simply get everything and more from some other artist? The records aren't really reviewed on All Music, so I turn to all of you.

Depends how much you can stand his (anti)politics. "Receive The Flame" is very good and wordless: Probably the best intro. Its mostly noisy loops, but there are two tracks 'pleasant' tracks. Also try "Blood & Flame." For wordy stuff, "God and Beast".

Search slsk for the solo Rice vs. Bob Larson interview. The funniest thing ever, especially when Boyd misuses terminology.

the one with the bloke out of fad gadget is very good, if my memory serves me.

bizarrely, the only recording of Rice's I've ever heard is a band called Spell - him and one of the women from Strawberry Switchblade doing Lee & Nancy songs. It's quite an enjoyable listen, but I don't think it captures what I've heard of Rice's full on neo-pagan dangerously close to Fascism shtick.

Reading his chapter in the Re/Search Pranks book was the highlight of the book.. otherwise, the guy is a tool.

"easy listening for iron youth" is probably a good place to start. "boyd rice" (the black album) is old school looping noise based on exotica records, and is pretty good. "receive the flame" and "blood and flame" recommendations seconded, and "god and beast" if you can 'handle' the spoken parts. oh yeah, and "easy listening for the hard of hearing" with frank tovey is also keen.

spell is interesting - i probably like their choice of material (the poppy family!!) more than the execution.

btw, if you've got HBO, keep an eye out for "by satan possessed" - mr. rice is featured in the intro and outro performing "total war."

Fuck all that shit if you must hear anything by this intriguing but politically disgusting person, you MUST get "Music Martinis and Misanthropy" a collaboration with a guy from Death In June, Rose McDowell from Strawberry Switchblade, and (I think) 2 members of Coil. Not only is it listenable and tuneful unlike NON I have heard, some of it is actually demonstrates lyrical depth and wit:

someday i'll take you to disneyland
someday i'll take you to disneyland
we'll go on mister toad's wild ride
and follow him straight to hell
but that's not necessary just now
for now hell is all around us
no rubber devils, no smell of sulphur
but hell none the less
hell more grotesque than any medieval woodcut
instead of dramatic demons, a lifeless shuffling horde
without souls
without imagination
without worth
and beyond redemption
someday i'll take you to disneyland
i'll buy you a pair of mouse ears
tons of cotton candy
and a big helium baloon with mickey inside
but all that can wait
today i'll buy you a 357 magnum
and lots and lots of bullets
i'll buy you a stack of AK-47's
and a warehouse filled with bananaclips
all loaded and ready to go
i'll buy you B52 loaded with neutron bombs
and lots of soldiers, to do whatever is necessary
disneyland can wait
we have time
someday there will be more of us
maybe then the world can be disneyland
and visiting Hell will be noble again

Yeah, now he is divested with the Anton La Vey crap but how many TOOLS do you know that have worked with Coil, Current 93, Nurse with Wound, Psychic TV even before they were am ILM staple.

True, Phil's too busy looking for nasty things written about him in the UK music press.. far more noble. Then again, maybe he gave that up over a decade ago and admitted it, just like I did with the long box thing.

(hmmm, a new quasi-creepy poster that likes to go back and reference completely unrelated posts of my recent past to use as lame retorts... cool! I mean TOOL!)

(Frank Tovey on the other hand is decidedly not a tool, but is sadly no longer.. was just blasting "Bridge St. Shuffle" off Civilian the other day)

You still make no sense, Donut. I am not a creepy poster. I think this is the first time I had to seriously rebutt a stupid comment. I talk enough with everyday people about music that I know I am not weirdo. You still cannot say why you think Boyd Rice is a tool. It's a simple question. Why is Boyd Rice a tool?

The man may be a tool but in a very cartoony way. I think he uses those symbols much as the old school punk rockers did (I mean you can find pictures of Siouxsie with swastikas too and Siouxsie is really cool.) He would be terrible and awful if not for that. I find his misanthropy to be somewhat refreshing sometimes.

― sucka (sucka), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 05:29 (9 years ago) Permalink

Souixsie was relatively young and stupid when she did it. Boyd's gotta be as old as I am by now and as far as I know he's still doing it. If it's just a schtick it's still pretty tired.

― nickn (nickn), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 05:34 (9 years ago) Permalink

Boyd Rice is one of the guys who helped popularize that entire art of shallow shock and awe "extreme" music, but with none of the good aspects -- the type of scene that influences the kind of guys you find at that one hole-in-a-wall coffeehouse in your [insert semi sized urban city of your choice] who like just turn up the volume and say really offensive things for "art" on that alternate open mic Wednesday, but just end up annoying and boring you while you're waiting for your expresso. And I can't, for the life of me, make my way through a Non CD without being a) annoyed, or b) bored. I'm not denying he has influenced folks who have produced music far more insightful and creative, and that he was there "first", if that really means anything. And as I stated above, his stories of early pranks were very entertaining. But that's where my praise of Boyd Rice ends. I find his politic views pretty horrific, although I find his pretentions in defending them even more horrific. Or better phrased, pathetic.

.. basically, he comes off like he's going to bed every night thinking "I'm so smart.. and I'm soooo fucking up people's preconceptions", kinda like Frank Discussion of the Feederz but with less humor. Unless of course, all those interviews with him since the Pranks books are all pranks themselves, and he's just doing a more "evil" version of the Andy Kaufman thing for over a decade.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 05:40 (9 years ago) Permalink

Then again, I generally have a problem with people who live their lives under the motto "I'm so fucked up, therefore I will fuck things up and upset people along the way and show that that I'M SO FUCKED UP and that THEY ARE FUCKED UP TOO".. As Nick mentioned, justifiable enough when you're young and stupid, but...

And I'll admit I haven't paid attention to any of Rice's escapades in the last few years (my last memory of him was an interview from the late 90s where he spent the entire time trashing Merzbow for "not getting it" and saying more equally snotty bullshit) For all I know, he may have become a born again, and is now truly living life for jesus.

― donut bitch (donut), Tuesday, 27 January 2004 05:45 (9 years ago) Permalink

Funny, I used to debate catholic school kids about his influence. This was 17 years ago. These kids debated me yet we both loved it anyhow. Donut, that was 17 years ago. He's probably gay anyhow as most of those folk's tend to border on sexual extreme themes, Don't quote me...as who cares. The Misogynistic thing is funny. You won't find him at a coffee house any longer. You might find Steve Von Till of Neurosis there though. Maybe even Michael Gira. Where you from, Donut? Upstate Pacific No-where? At this level it's all politics as you say.

Boyd Rice is heterosexual, married(?), and has a kid, "Wolfgang". He's mellowed out a bit over the past five years. However, I agree he was far too old to be into nazi schtick as long as he was - a very delayed adolescence.

I agree with db: I find that whole "he's just pushing your buttons" thing really tiresome. What are we supposed to learn, anyway, by having our buttons pushed? That nothing matters whatsoever, and therefore we shouldn't be offended by anything? I don't know what his politics really are, but his coyness about them is tiresome (or was when I paid more attention to him). For instance, I remember one interview when he was asked if he thought any race was more superior than any other, or something of that sort. His reply was approximately: "I think all races have evolved as far as they are capable of evolving" (leaving the reader in doubt, so that buttons can be pushed inr the future). Regardless, I think that posing with American Front members is pushing the pranksterism too far. The American Front may not be a serious threat to society at large, but they have done some nasty stuff.

Yeah, I'm pretty torn about this dude. On the one hand, the early noise work is rad, the record with frank tovey is great, very cool stuff. On the other hand, the whole "aren't I naughty?" dynamic is ultimately a dud and a waste of time. It's not all that transgressive once your fanbase expects it out of you, it's just a delivery system for a feeling of in-group superiority and that's tedious. I went to the NON/Death in June show in San Francisco (on Gay Pride Day, lol) and the kind of feedback loop of smugness between performer and audience while Boyd and Douglas P. did their thangs was queasy. Plus the whole "in here we can say the things we really feel, oh whoops except we're all about keeping you guessing so we're not going to shit or get off the fascist pot" dynamic sits very oddly, to say the least, with a spurious philosophy of "strength".

Which just brought to mind the Foetus lyric: Say what you mean and say it MEAN. Boyd and Douglas P. don't, or won't, do that, and so they seem essentially coquettish about genocide etc. Which is trivializing.

Boyd Rice was involved in creating a Tiki bar called Tiki Boyd's at the East Coast Bar in Denver, Colorado. Rice decorated the entire establishment out of his own pocket due to his fondness of Tiki culture, asking an open tab at the bar in return. Boyd has long expressed a love of Tiki culture, in contrast to the other elements of his public persona.[citation needed]

Tiki Boyd's was given its name in his honor.[8] Due to disagreements between Rice and the owners, Rice pulled out of the deal and reclaimed all of his Tiki decorations. The future of the bar as it remains now is uncertain. Rice plans to re-establish another Tiki Bar elsewhere in Denver.[citation needed]

Yep. Plus, nowadays, the great mass of overtly Nazi and NS black metal bands (Satanic Warmaster, Branikald, Blazebirth Hall people etc.) going around openly proclaiming their views makes the whole "am I or aren't I?" charade on the part of Boyd/DIJ seem especially strongly like a case of bad faith / weak nerves / standard chickenshit. Not that 'real' Nazis are somehow better than 'fake' Nazis because at least they have the courage of their asinine convictions, but rather, duh, if you know enough to hesitate then maybe you shouldn't be in the fake Nazi game in the first place. Leave that to Glenn Beck!

You still cannot say why you think Boyd Rice is a tool. It's a simple question. Why is Boyd Rice a tool?

Do you ever think about
What a lovely place the world would be
Without all the people
That make life so unpleasant?

All the small, petty people
All the ugly, annoying people
It's hard not to think about it

I like to think about
What could be
Done to these people
Something cruel
Something mean
Something just
But the meaner the better
Goodness knows they deserve it

Have you ever dreamed of
Killing all the stupid people?
Not just the unintelligent people
But the sort that don't know anything about anything
But seem to have opinions about everything
They're only too ready to offer their advice about
How to run your life
And yet look at how they run their own lives
For the most part they've accomplished nothing
They've contributed nothing
Their lives are miserable
But they talk, talk, talk…
At the very least their tongues should be cut out
At the very least

Do you ever wanna
Kill all the people who tell lies?
Some certainly deserve it
Not necessarily the big liars
Or even those who teach lies as truth
I'm talking about people
Who say one thing and do another
Or who tell you they sent something express mail
When you know they haven't

Did you ever want to
Kill all the slow people in the world?
The people who are in front of you
When they should be behind you
A crime that the swift should be help back by the slow
And it's criminal that nothing is going to rectify it

And what about all the really ugly people?
Add them to the list as well
Some people try not to think about life's ugliness
I've thought about it
I've thought about it quite a lot
Something should be done to these people
Something to make them suffer
The way they've made us suffer

I say, bring back the Circus Maximus
For starters
Unless these weeds are dealt with
They’ll poison everything
They are poisoning everything
We need a gardener
A brutal gardener
A thorough, thoughtful gardener
An iron gardener

Whatever happened to Vlad the Impaler?
Where's Genghis Kahn when you need him?
Or Roi d'Ys?
Ayatollah Khomeini?
Adolf Hitler?
Benito Mussolini?
Nero?
Diocletian?
Kitchener?

Come back!
Come back!

Purchased the NON "Children Of The Black Sun" from a used bin recently because the cover was kind of amazing:

That plus a quick phone search said it would be some ambient stuff that was sometimes beautiful and sometimes ugly, so I took a flyer not knowing NON or Boyd Rice very much.

The disc was haunting and elegant and mesmerizing! Quite enjoyable!

How does this fit into the Boyd Rice cannon?

Also, this thread has some evidence that the dude's a bit of an asshole whereas his Wiki Page downplays such allegations. Where does he stand now? Would it be embarassing for me to support him or is he just being shocking and demure?
