Chill, dude. That's why I wrote "I assume". And you're assuming or rather making stuff up just as well.
And what do you mean by "again you show a yaddayaddayadda…"? I must have missed something. 8O
I assume (well I think I also read so somewhere) he dropped Rand due to getting older, wiser, his travels and seeing the world as it is. Real experience took over from (post)adolescent reading. So there… live to learn and change. I respect that.
According to the DB, there's a recording available for Verstedthallen 2017 but where? Didn't find one neither on dime nor motortrades…
A great setlist overall but I especially would love to hear Mantrick Muffin Stomp in a 2017 version.
That's an amazing Chien! Not even sure if I prefer it to the more current versions. The build up nowadays is sheer madness but this ol' one here has something more brutal to it.
The count is down but erm… what am I missing out on? It all looks like it did before, doesn't it?
so here's a quote:
Hans at the 38min mark:
"we're still learning how to play, sing and write, a continuous learning process. As long as you have that spirit and the will to experiment, then it doesn't settle into something stale. And we still have immense fun struggling to make our music come through."
So good news: there's probably quite a few years of music and juice left in the band. But where haven't they been yet? How much is there left to explore? Of course experimentation or rather free form jammin is endless by nature. Will the realization of having made everything (possible) be the end of the band? Or – which seems more important the way Hans said – when the fun's gone? Well according to the film, that day seems to be way off.

@bernie: sorry to ask again, maybe you haven't seen me doing so the first time around: Did you present the finished movie to them for some sort of reviewing before releasing?
haha The Elder. I think its pompousness kills it. It's really not the most clever concept album. That said, it was quite daring, pushing the boundaries and I liked it at the time. (heck I even liked Unmasked and still do). "Forget what we did so far, what anyone expects from us, what anyone thinks we're (not) capable of. Now we gonna do this because we feel like it!" Quite motorpsychedelic in spirit. The band is more than we individual musicians are. It's a vessel to do things and go places.
sorry for slightly being OT but it relates to the film…:
@johnny, I've also been a fan when I was 10 to 12, but when I discovered Zeppelin and Sabbath I started to think Kiss were maybe not really thaaaat good and droppped them. Later, maybe around 25, I rediscovered them. They had great songs in the 70s until Ace left. His songs but also some of Gene's like She, Deuce or Watching You I'd put up there with Immigrant Song or Wheels of Confusion.
@Bernie:
How was the band's final say? Did you show it to them before release?
I did mean the links to the video recordings.
