PUDDLE
OF
MUDD’S
SCANTLIN
GOES
BACKWARDS
FOR
“PSYHCHO”
Puddle
Of
Mudd
are
turning
a
few
heads
with
their
latest
video
for
“Psycho,”
and
there
were
even
a
few
double-takes
before
the
shoot
ever
happened.
Guitarist
Christian
Stone
tells
us
that
singer
Wes
Scantlin
had
to
learn
the
track
backwards
in
order
to
achieve
the
visual
effect
that
makes
the
clip.
The
director
merely
flipped
the
footage
after
the
shoot
was
done
to
make
it
look
like
Scantlin
is
the
one
moving
and
singing
properly,
while
everything
else
around
him
is
in
reverse.
Ryan
Yerdon
adds
that
while
on
the
tour
bus,
Scantlin
would
be
in
the
back
room
trying
to
learn
the
song
backwards,
which
often
led
to
some
confusion
for
those
passing
by
and
overhearing
his
process.
