As for Merzbow, that's just my opinion. I've listened to Merzbow and I am unable to understand how people can enjoy listening to it. Every song sounds exactly the same to me, composed of sheer static.
And no I'm not trying to compare the two, although the Black Dice did have alot of sounds in their set that were similar to what you hear in Merzbow. I said above that I don't like them for the same " reason " I don't like merzbow.

I love the Black Dice and Merzbow both, and yes they are nothing alike. However, Black Dice really aren't the same a lot of the time. What Adam described, they could have been for a phase, and what you describe, I believe they did that night and might be into at the moment. They also do some more straight up noise rock stuff sometimes which is definitely where their roots are. I'm more impressed with a group like them who is always adventurous and trying new things than a group like the Buttholes who are rehashing what they did years ago that was original and in the years in between produced a lot of lame alternative rock with just a hint of their former greatness.
