Wow sounds cool. I wonder who will support in London...

tesla69 · 06.05.2007, 01:44 PM

I'm just wondering if its worth it to get a ticket and bring my recorder...I know SY is fine with it but did anyone deal with pool security last year?

I'm not sure if there's a bigger bunch of selfimportant unwarranted fucking useless assholes as rocknroll security fucks, especially in NYC.

I'm hoping for Rapeman and Die Kreuzen, just like the first time around.

guitarpro · 06.05.2007, 02:01 PM

Cool

Redd Kross that sounds very kick ass

Georgekrz · 06.05.2007, 02:52 PM

security last year was non-existent, you could have taped both sy shows no prob. many people did...

Prisstina · 06.05.2007, 03:18 PM

thanks man, thats just what I needed to know...

sonicl · 06.06.2007, 08:20 AM

Rapeman were funny. I think too many people miss the humour in Albini's work. Oh and they shredded too (I think that's the right word).

demonrail666 · 06.06.2007, 09:21 AM

I was at that gig with Rapeman and Die Kreuzen. I heard that Albini let off a stinkbomb on the stage just as SY came on. Great gig.

sonicl · 06.06.2007, 09:52 AM

I know this will sound like something that I made up, but did Albini also throw stinkbombs during the encore, and they tied him up with guitar cords, and possibly whipped him? I remember some sort of kerfuffle involving him during the encore, but those details seem so ridiculous that I can't be sure that some of it doesn't come from out of my imagination.

pokkeherrie · 06.06.2007, 10:03 AM

I've definitely read about that tying albini up thing before, maybe in that final big black tour diary or in the confusion is sex book.

Anyway, i hope there will be some interesting support acts at the london gigs, preferably even different bands for every gig.

demonrail666 · 06.06.2007, 10:06 AM

I know stinkbombs were involved but whether it was for the main set or the encore. I don't know. I remember members of all the bands coming out at the end to do a cover of (I think) I Wanna be Your Dog and that someone was wrestling with Albini but my memory is fading as to the details. For some reason though, I do recall Albini going on some long speil about looking for Derek and Clive albums and the singer in Die Kreuzen calling someone in the audience a 'cunt' and thinking it sounded funny with an American accent.

sonicl · 06.06.2007, 10:12 AM

I don't remember anything about Die Kreuzen at all. When the gig was first announced there was only one date, and the flyers (which I think were given to us at the Throwing Muses / Pixies show a few months earlier) showed that it be SY supported by Rapeman and Dino Jr. I quite rightly pissed myself with excitement, and felt very let down when this band Die Kreuzen turned up instead so I didn't bother to take much notice of them.

I wish I'd have kept that flyer, that would have been some seriously cool shit to be showing off right now.

maggot brain · 06.06.2007, 11:02 AM

Dino Jr. are at Reading the weekend before SY play in London...maybe they will stick around and open for them. That would be amazing.
