Here’s my current stab at a Meat Puppets discography, complete with cover art and links to Amazon. It’s not entirely comprehensive yet, so consider it a work in progress (and not just something I’ve been slaving over for the past three weeks and never want to think about again). I’ve added a page of notes from the original online discography that I did a decade ago. I still need to add a Part Four devoted to solo projects — that of course is where the “Meat Puppets 2.0″ albums will reside. But that stuff is in another drawer to dig through on another day.

Something to say?
You forgot the “Special Forces Radio Concert” : Meat Puppets at the Roxy in L.A. 1986, since then its been widely bootlegged of course, but you can still find the original.

That one’s beyond the scope of this discography. I have several syndicated radio shows on vinyl or CD, but those aren’t official releases, comps, or promos.

Two things:
1) I’d like to know where I could find the odd stuff. I mean, I’ve got some compilations with puppets songs (Songs in the key of X, Fast track to nowhere and a couple of soundtracks) but I don’t know where I look for the other stuff (the most part).
2) Let me tell you that I think Curt Kirkwood is the most talented and unappreciated guy in the music business. I’ve been tried to get all the stuff where he’s involved (Eyes Adrift and different colaborations) but it’s very hard to find some of this stuff. So, it would be great if you could include a related discography with all the records where all of you had been involved (as producers, musicians, etc.)
Well, that’s it.
Derrick, thanks for all you have been doing to keeping the puppets alive.
Bye

1) You’re on your own there.
2) I’ll do a solo page eventually.

i just want to know who was the first one to put “lake of fire” in a song;
by a simple search on google i allready found out that it’s from the bible ; so, my question is: in wich year did the meat puppets release “lake of fire”?(sorry i hadn’t time to actually look at the site)

I don’t know of any other songs called “Lake Of Fire” besides ours, which we first released in 1984 on the “II” album, then later released as a bonus track on “Too High To Die.” Nirvana didn’t cover it until 1993.
I do know of a lot of songs called “Halloween,” which is why we changed the name of our song from “Halloween” to “Lake Of Fire.”

Stupid question (waiting for a good answer) : why “halloween” ? I mean, for “Lake of Fire” the lyrics are ‘Where do bad folks go when they die? (…) go to the lake of fire and fry’. Did you first think they goes into Halloween ? (:
Ok, I go out.
chirac sucks, france rules

Derrick,
Are there any posters/lithographs, etc. available of any of the album cover/jacket artwork? II, Huevos, Monsters and Forbidden Places—oh hell I enjoyed them all.
Thanks for any info you have.
On a side note, I saw the Puppets (sans you unfortunately) in SF a few months ago. While Kris didn’t look that great (although who would!) he seemed revitalized. Glad to see the brothers back together.

The only posters that ever came out were promotional POS (point of sale) posters issued to record stores by the label. I see them show up on eBay from time to time.

Thanks Derrick. When my wife suggested the Forbidden Places cover would look good in our house, I thought I’d look into it a little further. I’ll assume that Curt kept all the original paintings.
