'introducing' festival
from bartek gil:
this was something beyond my expectations. if they're going to play half
like this in warsaw they'll smash the venue.
they went on stage at about 2 am, stuart thanked us for staying up so late and the show commenced. everything was very loud. 'you don't know jesus' was fuckin' metal and 'fear
satan' was a wall of white noise. but it's nothing when you compare it with
'jewish hymn'!!! it lasted for more than half an hour, i'm absolutely sure! i would risk that it was closer to an hour. after 15 minutes stuart was
playing only on two strings as the other four had busted; then sliding the
remaining parts on the edge of the stage making unbearable noise.
i saw a legion of german people at 3.45 am trying to hide their ears between
their knees. barry and dominic left the stage and john went on his knees
also. it was like a slaughter.
the monitors were turned to the audience. stuart left his guitar and - still kneeling -
started to play with the delays. my mouth was on the floor!!! martin trying
to ruin his drums... at the end of the show he threw his sticks. i managed to
catch one. broken of course.
after the show barry just said: 'this was good' (compared to the previous
show in berlin). marvellous!!! dying to see them this sunday in warsaw. all you up there who have nothing else to do!!! must come and see!!!
