I have never been to a LIVE residents show (gee, come to think
of it, I wonder when they'll be in LA next...) but if you listen
to the HELL! CD (a compilation album) you can hear 60 minutes of
their gloomy side, and some of the songs are very similar stylistically
to both severed heads and skinny puppy.  In fact, the first time I heard 
these bands, I thought to myself `Gee, you know... that
sounds sort of like the residents on _Hell!_'  It seems kind of
strange that they played an entire concert full of this kind of
music, but perhaps they are just experimenting.
