Future User has released a new NSFW video for the single “Voodoo” featuring Tom Morello, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson performing spinal surgery on Tim Commerford.

In this graphic video which makes a huge statement about the American health care system, Future User goes to great lengths to make their point quite clear. Future User frontman Commerford explains in a press release that the footage of the back surgery is all from the surgery he had in reality.

“I got the idea for the video after I ruptured a disc in my back and needed emergency surgery,” recalls Commerford. “As someone who often goes under the knife, I’ve always been a bit overwhelmed by the process, paperwork, approvals and costs. Luckily, I have insurance, but it got me thinking about all the people in this country who can’t afford medical treatment. I read an article recently that said there are over 40 million uninsured people living in the States, which is insane. I talked my doctor into letting me shoot the surgery, then explained the concept to Tom (Morello), who was totally into the idea. And of course, you can’t talk about universal health care without bringing Canada into the conversation, so I called Geddy (Lee) and Alex (Lifeson) and asked if they’d be part of it and was blown away when they said yes. And all that footage of my back being opened up is real, no joke.

Future user is known for creating outrageous videos that flesh out controversial topics and leave fans often in both awe and disgust. “Voodoo” is no different as Commerford focuses particularly on what happens to those who lack insurance. Morello, Lee, and Lifeson, who played roles in the video, agree that “Voodoo” is truly a work of art that touches on such a crucial topic.

“Timmy C is not just a great musician, but an artist in the truest sense of the word,” says Morello. “His amazing Future User videos are unlike any others in the history of music videos and I’m proud to work with him on his latest. It was a blast hanging out with him and one of our all-time favorite bands, Rush. This new video will likely get us all honorary medical degrees or at least a few comedic acting gigs. The video skewers our broken ‘for profit’ health care system with great wit and great rock.”
