Electronic noise experimentalists Whitehouse (William Bennett and Philip Best) have given and received torrents of aesthetic abuse in their 20-year career, their ‘aural sadism’ and lyrical violence triggering accusations of misogyny, Nazism and banality from some and fanatic devotion from others.“ ” [sic] Goldie goes beyond hagiography and demonology ‘to twist a political issue from the inside’

‘THE ARTWORLD ALLOWS FOR SUCH SAFE POST-MODERN DISTANCING. JUST LIKE TREADMILL FETISHISTS NEED. JUST AS REDUCED LAZY PERVERTS SPOUT WHEN THEY’RE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. GRUBBING JOB-HUNTING ARTISTS AND ART AFFICIONADOS WHO PREFER ART THAT ‘RAISES QUESTIONS’ ARE CERTAINLY AS DISGUSTING AS THOSE RUBBERED DILETTANTES WHO RECOGNISE THAT THE ANSWERS ARE WHAT YOU MASTURBATE OVER. ONCE YOU’RE OUT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU CAN’T APPRECIATE MERE QUESTIONS. UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU’D PREFER TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE RESPONSES THAT THOSE QUESTIONS PRODUCE IN PUBLIC. SO BETTER TO JUST SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.’ (William Bennett)

‘There are certain people who, for needs of self-affirmation of their own prejudices, demand that certain things be demonised in contrast to their own image. You know you’re fucking loving it, you know who you are, just admit it.’ (William Bennett)

Bennett orchestrates some crowd participation:

‘DO YOU BELIEVE IN ROCK AND ROLL? WELL SAY IT! ROCK…AND…ROLL! (waits a while to soak establish subliminal alligator grin) ‘WHY DON’T YOU STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN?’ Then Best, grinning –‘YOU WANKERS! YOU FUCKING WANKERS!’
