A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Hot Cross Fun

Dave K, the bloke wielding the hammer, sent me this awesome crucifixion footage (which contains flashing lights and was shot by Drew) of Rev. Shawn Lower of the band OnlyFlesh (amongst many other things) being well and truly nailed!

I can probably speak for everyone when I say the answer to his question at the end is, YES!

There’s no spliced frames in this one, so don’t waste your time looking.

    Hilarious! Did that to my foot once (accidentally). I’d like to see how they de-nailed him.

    Glynis – Yeah, I did the same when I was about six or seven, I jumped off a wall onto the beach and there was a plank of wood with a rusty nail sticking out, it went straight through my little tiny foot.

    I’ve still got the scar somewhere, probably on my foot, heh.

    Ahh nailguns, how you’ve hurt me. This was pretty damn interesting I must say. I’d like to see the de-nailing process of a crucifixion. Usually all the footage I’ve seen are of the people being nailed down.

    Rev is always one sure to impress. I’d like to see Manson try to do something even close to what Rev does at any given Only Flesh show.

    I was at this show.. and afterwards, I took Dave K to the side, and I sincerely thanked him for not hurting my friend. Its kinda weird and emotional to see this happen to someone you truly care about… BUT Rev made it threw, and then we drank some beer and life was ok again!
