Yep – the most mind expanding stuff comes in written form…
Here they follow Onkel Fuzzbazz' "uncle" Lemmy, who in many interviews spoke about LSD in the 60s and early 70s as the best drug ever and spent the rest of his life reading books in his tourbus – beside the usual alcoholic mayhem, framed by two topless models, that is. Which brings us to the Tussler discussion – oh yes, wrong thread indeed
Drugs or no drugs, inspirational or not – does it really matter? As long as they're not openly advertising anything?? No reason for any dogfights!
R.A. Wilson & Tim Leary once suggested another amendment to the rights of man:
Every person should have the right to alter their mind with or without drugs – and no-one should have the right to alter another person's mind (for instance via brain-washing).
As long as you don't harm anybody else its up to yourself!
And back to Cologne at 1.55?
I'm still considering it – if somebody's willing to join for a drink or two after the gig the time might be passing faster…
I'll take a later bus to Maastricht though.
Yep, and the influence is loads of 70s records that stood the test of time. They are probably not recreating 70s originals intentionally, except for the odd title and musical wink here and there. But Bent has admitted on release of "The Tower" that his listening habits during the winter before – i.e. Magma and Van der Graaf Generator – have certainly found their way into the songwriting and recording somehow.
Wonder what he's been listening during the last months. According to his comments on the new material in the Romanian interview – or was it Belgrad? – it must be something like King Crimson meets the Mothers of Invention in Amon Düül II's kitchen
So it's the other Rockfield studios for the other other fools
Looks great – looking forward for the outcome…
Great pictures, Thor. As usual, I'm tempted to say, but they're special. Like the first one best – and the heavy contrast Bent of No.7 stepping on his pedals right out of the saddle.
Waht do we learn here? Violin players give good motives – it doesn't matter how thick the four strings are
Rockpalast "live" from Herzberg on 17th September 01.00 – 5.00 on WDR
Hopefully lots of Motorpsycho included – shame they didn't film the whole show!
Could avoid the paywall by printing the whole page as pdf after opening. Nice little article – obvioulsy written by a fan.
But I do hope for a decenct recording. Makes it easier for me not to attend. So raise your voices (but not during the songs)
Going back from Düsseldorf is exactly the problem. Spending some time in DD before the concert is quite o.k.
I finally decided against the concert for several reasons, one of them being the 2018 setlists that up to now hardly contain any surprises and I don't think any Tower gig this year might reach the heights of last year's Cologne or Leipzig. Considering that and my momentarily scarce monetary resources I decided to go to Finkenbach Festival instead – near my old hometown Heidelberg in August.
My annual Motorpsycho gig will then most likely be Maastricht in september where the gig is free and bus tickets from Cologne available at reasonable prices.
Nevertheless I wish you a brilliant gig and a good time in Düsseldorf. Enjoy yourselves!
There's just 2 flixbus trains every day to Düsseldorf or back during the day – at absolutely stupid times. Regional trains – well, try to get one after the gig – hourlong waiting guaranteed. And not quite cheap.
As I'm getting older, probably lazy and am quite broke this month I promised myself only to attend the gig in case of a lift from Cologne. Would like to – but we'll see…
That 2014 Düsseldorf gig was the best one they played at ZAKK imho. Wasn't there though – I attended the almost equally brilliant Heidelberg gig that year. Caught them at ZAKK in 2002 and 2008.
Still not sure If I'm going – I need a lift from Cologne. Anyone going?
Love Machine sounds promising.
Anyone from Cologne going to the Düsseldorf gig and willing to give me a lift?
– that wonderful bizarre Bizarre festival '02 gig –
has grown with me from year to year. On first watching the Rockpalast video on TV I was duly disappointed – rather flat Rockpalast sound, lame audience reactions, rather short festival gig, very bizarre set list – not just the selection itself, but also the order of songs played…
After listening to it several times I began to realize what an extraordinary gig that was. Still way to short, but man: Song for A Bro & that Supertristano with JJ Horns! Black to Comm! Shame the audience obviously didn't get it. But hey – what can you expect from a big festival KoЯn audience…
