the weirdest music you have ever heard?

[Thirsk]

[youtube.com/watch?v=iu5veYaCUPs]

I haven't heard much of the other suggestions, but I think this one takes the cake. I have yet to hear something wierder, in any case.
The title is danish and translates to "Freshly Hacked Music Education", by the way.

 

[FinalHeart95]

Revolution 9 by the Beatles.

Ninja'd

It's even better backwards though.

 

[noble cookie]

not the weirdest, but deserves an honorable mention.

 

[II2]

I don't know if there really is any definitive weirdest, but here's a few gems:

Throbbing Gristle - Hamburger Lady

SPK - SLOGAN

K. Stockhausen - Gesang der Junglinge

 

[Deadlock Radium]

not the weirdest, but deserves an honorable mention.

DO NOT WANT!

Let's see, this one is just weird:

Spoiler: Why the hell would someone listen to this? And what the hell is that solo a while into the song?

[TheAbominableDan]

Nobody's said Merzbow?

The Residents sure are pretty strange.

Edit: Oh, and FYI, they aren't nazis or KKK or anything like that, they're just artists with a bizarre sense of humour.

Agreed! I can't believe more people haven't mentioned these guys.
I know they're just opinions, but System of a Down? Tool? Manson? Surely this can't be the strangest music you've heard.
I've seen all of those bands and The Residents live, and The Residents are by far the weirdest act, and the only concert where I walked away a little scared.

Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa


Not even close to the weirdest, but the weirdest 'good' music that I can find on youtube.

Spoiler: Other weird artists I can't find on youtube

Guernica, Kahonda Style, Zbigniew Karkowski & Daniel Menche, Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun, Eric Ostrowski, Yamasuki, Hild Sofie Tafjord, Charming Hostess

Oddly enough, this is becoming the thread with the best music on the Escapist: Faust, Can, Gorguts, the Residents, Throbbing Gristle, Current 93, and the Incredible String Band.

 

[JLML]

Obviously this...

MozART Group is awesome ​

[the Dept of Science]

Try and identify a song structure for this song. I dare you.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Here ya go

 

[the Dept of Science]

(I apologise for the horrible video for the last one)

Wow, so you've actually seen them live. That is just awesome. I hear they put on a really good show.
I think people aren't mentioning them just because they don't even know they exist. I mean, they are pretty obscure.

 

[Fraught]

Probably Whitehouse. I don't know what it is, they call it power noise.

*video snip*

Either that, or the Hello Kitty Suicide Club.

*video snip*

Gah, it's like someone trying to play Napalm Death on Doom!

Jesus FUCKIN' Christ, man. That Whitehouse...What the fuck IS that?

And that Hello Kitty Suicide Club, woah. If only it was evening, I'd be scared that some fucker might jump me from somewhere, screaming like that. That sure was weird. And deafening.

Revolution 9 by the Beatles.

This. So much this. I haven't really stumbled upon that many weird music and/or bands, but man, I love to hate Revolution 9. We have a kind of in-joke with a classmate of mine who's a Beatles fan, and he says it's the "one Beatles song he doesn't like".

Oh, oh! I have one song!


I HATE this song, through and through. It's weird as fuck, and creepy as fuck.

Hunting And Gathering (Cydonia) by Sun 0)))

[TheBlackKnight]

Well 80ies Industrial is relly odd, I mean you already have some of it in this thread, like Current 83 or Throbbing gristle, other then that: Grindcore, Porngrind, etc are all genres who would fit in here nicely

 

[mageroel]

Listen to the whole Einstein on the Beach by Phillip Glass. It will blow your minds. (WATCH THE WHOLE MOVIE, not just the youtube bit called "Einstein on the Beach")

 

[Anonymoustache]

Probably Mr. Krinkle by Primus, although that may just be because the music video scared the hell out of me when I was younger.

 

[Reveras]

This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8F5YSA1Oz0 - It's like the Jonas Brothers, Slipknot and Cher had twins.

EDIT: sorry, just saw this shitstorm has already been posted so I'll recommend another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G1uEPtumI0
