Quote:they were dead silent during the quiet parts of the show
Apart from the two assholes talking for the first minutes of GC close to me. Then suddenly they acted as if it was their favourite song ever. Why?
Btw is the funny swedish (long blonde hair and a cap) , quite drunk guy I talked to at the merch table a member here? Sorry for not giving you better directions to a bar!
Fun fact:
Before the golden core Bent said "If you know this one, don't sing along! It's not one of those!"
@Anders The wheel over Golden Core! I think I'll have to condemn you to a witch trial for that blasphemy!
Some thoughts:
Obviously a quite unique setlist. I have been to loads of MP gigs at the Schlachthof in the past 20 years and I think it's safe to say that this venue has a special place in the band's hearts. Always very good gigs!
Fourth member works extremely well!
I like Thomas' drumming. Although he also has a jazzy touch he is really on point and not so "space taking" as Kenneth.
I am really glad they stopped playing these all out heavy shows. The gigs on the HBM tour were already good, but in 2014 or 2015 I saw gigs that were just a non stop sound attack from start to finish and quite boring to me. I hope I'll never again have to endure Hell 1-7!
Where I stood (all the way back, dead center) the sound was perfect!
Yeah! Flick of the wrist. I love that song.
Feel as only encore and final song feels (no pun intended) kinda strange though.
As I said, dime is not illegal in any way, so there is no risk involved, if that is your concern.
There are some soundboards from over the years, but I don't know exactly which. There are also some really good audience recordings, too. MP has been and is followed by some really good tapers, also the band has been quite taper friendly.
Usually you can check a sample on dime. I don't know how picky you are about sound quality.
Not all recordings will still have seeders, but there are always people reposting older recordings. Just check it out.
Welcome Psychonaut!
If you don't own it already, you HAVE to get Timothy's Monster! For a lot of people this is the best album they ever did.
Also Blissard and Angels and Daemons at play are essential!
If you want to listen to loads of their live stuff, you can find it on dimeadozen (if you don't know that site, it is a non-illegal torrent site for the sharing of live recordings).
Regarding Bowie: Of course the hits got chosen, but in my town some song was voted at No 3 and he didn't play it. So I guess Bowie didn't care much for these polls.
Was a good gig anyway. I was teenager and the only Bowie fan in my class. I was considering myself way above my mates in musical taste.
Maybe they are afraid that they will have to play the Golden Core every night! 😀
I remember that Bowie (around 1990) pretended to do something similar. Each city got 5 songs to choose, but he just assumed that people will always choose songs he'd play anyway. Where I lived back then, he didn't play the song that was chosen on place 3 of 5.
"I'm still wearing your smell" has a really romantic meaning to me. I don't know, if the song has this in mind.
