The post-Stan Seitrich era of the Drunks With Guns wing led by Mike Doskocil created some classics and some duds.  Since Mike was the "voice" of DWG, his lineups carried the day in head to head noise rock combat particularly with "Drug Problem" and this one.

This single lays waste to two tracks from Jesus Christ Superstar.  The A-side is a nice noise rendition of the theme with some overwhelming slap back vocals.  The B-side repurposes the nailing of Christ to the cross for the alcoholic martyr.  The character Doskocil has become needs his Christ to have only one thing for his return to forever.

A fuckin' beer man!
