Dealing with religious and personal issues, "Garbadge Man" was Hole's first song to have a music video, which was broadcast on 120 Minutes on MTV several times in the early 1990s.
A Melody Maker review on Hole's live performance at Club Lingerie in Hollywood, California, on May 23, 1991, written by Everett True, a friend of the co-writers Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson, clearly stated the grammatical error[1] and the original register at BMI for copyright collect also has the "d" in "Garbadge".
The lyrics, written solely by Love, narrate themes common in Hole songs from this period and also use vast amounts of religious imagery, similar to that in "Turpentine".
Directed by an Kevin Kerslake,[8] the video is extremely abstract, with no definitive visual characteristics other than major use of contrast and light.
According to Love, she obtained original rolls of radiographic medical film from Denver, Colorado that had been used in the Vietnam War, which the music video was then shot on, giving many of the images an X-ray-like appearance.
This mix, reputedly done solely by Gordon, diverged significantly from the final version featured on Pretty on the Inside.
