On this Berlin recording, Bent’s backing uuuuuuhoooooh’s on Spiral are wonderfully scratchy. I love that.

oh me i really couldn’t care less. though i thought the singing was quite good on the last tour and that sure didn’t bother me either. but after 20 years… i REALLY couldn’t care less. i prefer great melodies and songwriting sung shaky to perfect pitch just for the sake of it any day.

we’re auditioning singers right now and i realized i can’t stand these pathetically stretched out vocals in perfect alternative rock manner. head down, playing bass and thinking “oh please will you shut up!”. :lol:

oh and i forgot, kenneth played synth on Feel. i did notice that.

@dinosycho

oh i didn’t notice that. so they did turn him around to do more than only bashing on things after all. :lol:

Mindblowing that one can go see a gig and get greener, taifun, manmower, plan #1, loneliness, 577 AND golden core in 2009.

very true. tho i missed this one.

[supernaut]

ha after the golden core, you can hear that amp beeping which nearly freaked me out. it was such a loud show, i though my tinnitus came back.

[supernaut]

btw anyone noted who played the synths? was it Lolly or the other guy?

[supernaut]

For me also due to sentimental reasons it’ll always be Timothy’s Monster.

Followed at the mo by COTF, LLM, BHBC and Trust Us.

Whole Lotta Diana!

jesus freaking christ!!!

Snah’s first vocal line in Spiral and the crowd’s cheering. That was such a good first moment.

[supernaut]

thank you supermuch.

[supernaut]

Well they must play KDH in Winterthur. Missed it in Berlin. Can’t get enough of that one. As opposed to Go To California. :mrgreen:

I had an issue with “less is more” during the Cake and Phanerothyme shows. Too much hippiejam noodling back then. Now it’s just right for me.

and yeah, some prick that guy must have been.

and the day after show i met the “boys” at the ramones museum in very downtown berlin

Ha lucky you, I went for a few days too and wondered if and where one would stumble across them. It didn’t happen in the DDR museum.

[supernaut]

But somebody bought the last sidebag just before me. :x

@bodysnatcher:

actually that was Ozzylot. Bent sang the last line as “I want you to be my friend”, if memory serves right.

I also thought they suffered from the loss. Some concentration issues and “wrong” cues. But still it was LOUD and energetic and they were on fire, and in a good playing mood.

Ocean and Glow I heard both the first time live, nice. The COTF songs were all amazing. Main set a bit short but you can’t complain when the suite is the encore, right? And what a suite it was! Despite the reason, it was great to hear The Golden Core again. Maybe on this one, too but probably only on All Is Loneliness the Taurus pedals got their moment. A bit of a shame. I’m a basspedal junkie.

Is it just me or do they – after 90ties epic psychedelism and early 00ties jazzy moods – lean now towards the funky side of it all? Bent & Kenneth is some bad ass groove machine, very uptight and poignant (if that’s the right word…).

The audience was great, btw. So many people really appreciating the band. Swiss audiences usually wait until the encores with bursting cheering.

[supernaut]

It was LOUD and i stood about where Superstooka was. But I could hear everything, good bass, good guitar. My ear sometimes hurt nevertheless, but I thought that’s my old tinnitus problems. I didn’t see any earplugs display. So I thought those Berlin people must be tough breed.
