Re: the "what next?" discussion, I just had an epiphany: I would really, really love to hear a collaboration between Motorpsycho and Huun-Huur Tu (or Alash for that matter!). I just listened to Big Black Dog back to back with Tandym (they're in the same key and everything). How great wouldn't it be to hear those wonderful voices and sounds of Tuva backed by the "oomph" of MP?
Oh well, maybe it's just me.
@supernaut: That’s the closest they’ll ever get, I guess. Wouldn’t mind more oddballs like that one, though!
Quote:Beastie Boys og Cypress Hill er to rapnavn som dras fram. Aphex Twins er det eneste technonavnet de vil godkjenne. Snah synes annen techno blir for statisk – i hvert fall live. Han fÃ¥r bifall fra Bent:Techno har jeg ikke fÃ¥tt fot for enda. Jeg skjønte heller aldri Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk og de gruppene der. Det har skorta pÃ¥ tid og lyst til Ã¥ utforske dette skikkelig. Og nÃ¥ da jeg oppdaga Sebadoh for noen uker sia… Men jeg ligger jo alltid noen Ã¥r etter, sÃ¥ om to Ã¥r oppdager jeg sikkert techno.
BEAT, 1994.

Jævlig mye innen Hip-Hop-Funk er bra, elementer som godt kunne ha passet inn i det vi holder pÃ¥ med. Men det har det ennÃ¥ ikke gjort.Bent to Puls, 1995. Well, they’re not exactly rushing to it …
You might find comfort in this.
That’s not what happened, is it? Someone at Man’s Ruin leaked the songs online, which pissed MP and Stickman off. I seem to remember they called off the deal because of this, Man’s Ruin went on for a good while after this if I remember correctly.
I’m sure your heroic battle against decency and general likeability will be rewarded somehow, doglicksman. Maybe with a song or something.
I'm pretty sure The Other Anders has at least 13-14 countries under his belt, including Japan. Speaking of Japan, Akane's list is probably pretty impressive as well. Anyone seen her lately, or did she jump off the tour wagon years ago?
That's why we are here, and why we've got a million praise threads. Can't we have this one bitching thread where some of us discuss the .25 per cent of the entire MP discography we don't think as much of as the rest?
Songs of which early (live) versions were actally enjoyable, but then the band made some bad decisions and ruined them in the studio):
Fade To Grey
What If
Ratcatcher (Dora Peach was great!)
Star Star Star
Just unlistenable to these ears:
The Mirror and The Lie (Bent at his worst in every possible way)
Coventry Boy (mostly thanks to Snah's vocal performance)
L.T.E.C. (musically the evil cousin of Star Star Star, sans the greasy horns, and I just can't take Bent's delivery of the nasty, self-righteous lyrics)
I love these lists. Could someone kindly add numbers of times played to each song? That's always interesting. For us who just saw one show on a tour it's also nice to go back and see if one got the average set and/or was treated with something special.
Fantastic list. I've only got a couple of notes about snippets. I guess it's gonna be very hard to get those near complete. For instance, I seem to recall that especially around 1998-2001 the You Lied / Black To Comm combo would very frequently include snippets of all kinds of songs from Dra Te Hælvete (Beranek) to, well, anything really. Also: Gold and Silver used to appear regularly within Mountain in 93 and 94, not only that one time (like Rome and Sentrum Scene, Oslo 94, for instance). We Travel The Spaceways also appeared as a snippet in 2000 (Halden).
(Oh, and Roadhouse Blues in Lillehammer 96 is not just a rumour, I was there. That was Bent performing it solo because Geb was taking a shower and Snah having a beer or something after the main set.)
Edit: I see BronYAur beat me to it a couple of places. Bravo to both him and Juergen for the work!
