Butthole Surfers include: Gibby Haynes (vocals); Paul Leary (guitar); King Coffee (drums).Personnel: Paul Leary (guitar).After Pioughd's semi-misfire and Rough Trade's subsequent collapse, the Surfers were in a surprising position. Not only were they courted and signed to Capitol thanks to the Nirvana-led alternative explosion, they also got high-profile arranger and Led Zeppelin legend John Paul Jones to produce the new album.
