      @supernaut: No idea, I only saw a couple of minutes.


      @Netsrak
      : Not really sure. It sounded vaguely like "(something) hein(t)z" but I have no clue what he actually sang.


      @fillmore
      : Not as far as I remember. They seemed to take a minute of rest or so before doing Psychtzar, but stayed on stage.

        Correct.

          I guess it is. I'm not entirely sure cause I didn't get one. They called it tour box, 10"-size, slver packaging.

            It seems to be Latin, although it should be "facite", not "facete". And it was most likely translated into Latin from the English version cited above (which is an adaptation of the old hippie slogan "Make love, not war"), instead of being an original Latin phrase, as one might think.

              Lol, pfnuesel, "when" instead of "if" is exactly the right way to put it. Excellent!

                Agreed, DeepL seems to produce better results in English than Google. Or is that due to Dutch being closer to English and thus easier translatable?

                  Yeah, that one is brilliant! "Auf etwas pfeifen" literally translates as "whistle on sth.", while a proper translation would be sth. like "don't give a damn about sth." A good example for the limits of translation programs: idoms.

                    I'm also looking forward to hearing it. But the review …?

                    This might be off topic but I still need to write it down 'cause it's been annoying me for years now. In Germany, music journalists tend to have a pretty wild style of writing. You get loads of strange metaphors and comparisons and generally very daring formulations. Maybe that's due to fact that it's difficult to describe music with words in the first place. So it might be true in other languauges as well, I don't know… But that guy beats them all! There's almost no sentence I don't stumble upon. Hardly have I encountered so many crooked images, grammatical violations, simply wrong words and logical mistakes in one text. I sort of understand what the author wants to say but when I read those sentences carefully I end up with a bad headache very soon. I consider that text an insult to anyone with a little bit of sprachgefühl (my dictionary says that can be used in English… a feel for language?). Call me a pedantic killjoy if you want to, but that text is absolutely terrible. Jeez, I need a beer now.

                      Reading Tjaaaa's comment ("nice bandname"), I just remembered the best bandname in the world. The music's terrible in my ears, and it's been around for ages, so I'm breaking rule 1 and 4 big time. Still, I need to share this. They're called Duran Duran Duran! Still laughing my ass off after so many years…

                        I'm just hoping. Would fit in well, and two days off in a row are rather uncommon, I think. Yeah, Kulturetage would be good too, though nothing beats Schlachthof.

                          One of the two off-days after Hamburg is predestined for a Schlachthof gig in Bremen! Friday or Saturday night, either would be awesome. Also not unlikely, I guess, because the next scheduled show is in the NL, so logistically Bremen would merely be a stop on the way. Let's hope!

                            For me, it's Wearing yr smell. I only heard it live once, last year, when they played that mellow version. That didn't do it for me at all. The original is such a groovy tune! Unfortunately I wasn't around in the early and mid-nineties when they still played it, and I couldn't make Oya a couple of years ago. So I don't know how it used to be live.

                                @grindove: Name one! Come on, I'm curious. I've got one for you too: AEnema by Tool.

                                  grindove, if those three albums don't match your indeed very strict parameters, is there an album – by any band – at all that does?
