“We wanted to channel the big guitar solo energy of the ’80s music videos and some of the great Easy Rider videos of the ’70s — plus anytime I collaborate with the Supersuckers, it’s as fun as it gets,” recalls Bahrth, who has directed three of the band’s previous videos. “. In addition to the films Devo, Seal, and the documentary “Bob and The Monster.”
Written by Roger Alan Wade (who co-hosted “The Big Ass Happy Family Jubilee” with his cousin Johnny Knoxville on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country), “Reckless Kind” struck a chord with Marty immediately. “When I first heard that song I felt like it was written for me. I always thought it would be cool to give it the ‘rock’ treatment. I was so proud to play it for Roger when we finished mixing it. He’s my brother for life.”
Wade recounts his first meeting with Metal Marty, “The first time I met Marty was when he jumped on the speakers out of nowhere and started singing ‘The Reckless Kind.’ I wasn’t sure who he was, but he blew the roof off.”
Marty laughs, “Yes, that’s pretty much how it went, welcome to the ride of chaos and bad decisions that is my life!”
The Supersuckers embark on a five-week UK and European tour on 4 October 2023. ‘Metal Marty’s Greatest Hits’ and the Supersuckers’ recent catalog are available via Acetate Records. www.acetate.com | (acetaterecords.bandcamp.com)
