“Videos don’t get much more excessive or insane than this..Yes, it features the Suicide Girls and fetish models. Yes, they are naked more often than not. But, that’s one of the tamer aspects of “FEFU, ” which looks a bit like a Manson Family reunion. The video proudly features a crucifix, buckets of blood, violent orgy scenes and a whole lot more that you will either find cool or totally offensive. PS: Queens Of The Stone Age fans should keep an eye out for a cameo by former QOTSA bassist Nick Oliveri. — watch “FEFU” (if you dare).This video is fucking insane.” – Steven Gottlieb / VideoStatic
“It takes a cast-iron stomach and huge balls to get in a crowd’s face wearing a mask, a thong and a guitar. But it takes something else to let the Suicide Girls kick your ass.
