About
In addition to continuing to record/tour with the Buttholes, Haynes produced the sophomore effort by Reverend Horton Heat, Full Custom Gospel Sounds, and lent his vocal skills to both Ministry's breakthrough single/video "Jesus Built My Hotrod" and the song "Fire in the Hole" from the Jane's Addiction offshoot Deconstruction. But Haynes reacted badly to all the sudden attention, as he began indulging heavily in hard drugs, eventually working his way to a deadly habit. Haynes eventually cleaned up his act via rehab (even sharing a room in a L.A. facility with Kurt Cobain shortly before the Nirvana leader's tragic suicide in 1994); and formed another one-off side project with actor Johnny Depp, P, issuing a self-titled album in 1995. Haynes' first recording with the Butthole Surfers after rehab, 1996's Electriclarryland, went on to become the group's most commercially successful yet, even spawning a hit single with "Pepper." However, conflicts with Capitol Records prevented the Buttholes' follow-up, 1998's After The Astronaut, from ever seeing a commercial release, and their next album, 2001's The Weird Revolution, proved to be a critical and commercial disappointment, and the group was dropped by Hollywood Records shortly afterward. As the Butthole Surfers plotted their next move, Haynes stepped out as a solo artist with a new project, Gibby Haynes and his Problem; the band recorded their first album (with Paul Leary helping out in the studio) for the independent Surfdog label in 2004. When not busy with his musical career, Haynes has worked as a radio host and appeared in several motion pictures, including Freaked, Dead Man, Nowhere, and The Brave. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
