Got three encores, mosh pit kicked rear end, the show was good. Their lineup was kind of meh because They had songs from their newer album, which I haven't actually heard yet, but it was a great show. Also the singer for 16Volt jumped into the mosh pit mid-show and knocked people out, then let the audience sing into his mic. Definitely better than last time KMFDM was in Portland.

teethgrinder posted:m.i.a.b are so loving good. They're sort of new at live shows though so things go wrong occasionally. They've previously been at the mercy of local mixing boards, but it sounds like they've taken over everything with their latest set up. How do you feel about the way they change up their sound while performing live? Is it too drastic? Are the guitars, etc complimentary or overbearing? I've read complaints from a bunch of people about the changes, but it sounds great to me. I've become such a huge fan by this point that they really can do no wrong anyway. I can't wait for the new album and his THYX side project release. One day I'll get to see them live.. one day  And for anyone who hasn't seen it, here is a live cut video of Whatever Mattered that he released on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btRynJZqzgY

I loving love their live sound! I find these kinds of shows where the band just plays their recordings over again boring as hell. I was a big fan of APBL2000 too though, and MIAB does it just so much better. The thing with MIAB is that they're somewhat new at this and apparently the live mixing has been terrible at some shows, like guitars blasting completely over everything else. They've been experimenting with different equipment and now have some system in place to control it themselves so they're not at the mercy of the local sound guy. (I don't quite understand how they plan to do it, but that's what they posted to their Facebook.)

Anyway, my pleasure  I'm always happy to help if someone is cool enough to want to make their momma happy. In the immortal words of Mr. T: "Treat your mother right!"quote:(also those tiny licorices you sent me are amazing. I love them half the time and then the other half they basically taste like a death threat.) Haha, glad you found them interesting. Salmiakki / salted liquorice is super fuckin popular here in Finland and the rest of the northern Europe, but isn't that well known in the 'States as far as I know. Just wanted to give a fella a new experience now that there was a chance! Also you're kind of right about the death threat. Ammonium chloride, which is used to give the liquorice the salty taste is extremely poisonous when consumed (you'd have to eat an impossible amount of this stuff to get poisoned though) Allllso goddamn you bastards were right about Tactical Neural Implant. Finally got my copy today, been Audiosurfing through it. Question: how the gently caress does one even go from releasing an album like Caustic Grip, which is alright I guess, to releasing something like TNI? What happened between these two records? And why do you release something like Millennium afterwards? I mean I'm all for developing your sound and experimenting which is obviously part of what happened between these albums, but just the overall quality of the material is astoundingly different.

Hedenius posted:I won't be able to make it before the gig. I double booked the 27:th. But I will be at debaser so we can meet up at the concert. I'll send you an email with my facebook. Yeah, answered you on Facebook! In other news, got Project Pitchfork's Quantum Mechanics today. Having listened to it a couple of times now, I gotta say, this is definitely not as strong an album as Continuum Ride. There's definitely some amazing poo poo here, like The Queen of Time and Space and Splice, and the overall sound is fantastically skillfully done, but something's just missing here. Too much average material. It's a "very good" album, nothing more. I guess I just had my expectations waaayy too high after Continuum Ride, which is like my favorite PP album The new Santa Hates You album, on the other hand, is totally unexpectedly loving awesome. I mean I liked Crucifix Powerbomb a lot and thought that that was a surprisingly good album, but goddrat. MAN. This is some tight rear end poo poo, I'm telling y'all, I'd even go as far as to say that it's better than Quantum Mechanics. Also, in case you didn't know, the last track Watch Out Motherfucker, I Know Karate! has Brian Gaupner on the vocals and is  e: I mean goddamn Gaupner posted:My martial arts are amazing / Even Van Damme says I'm his favorite / 'Cause I hella punch dudes with my first

Bahaha sorry but that's actually pretty funny. I know nothing about him or the band but they seemed pretty energetic-yet-humble at the Toronto KMFDM show. I was right in the front for most of the show and it was just hand-claps and the occasional shouting into the crowd from my pov. Perhaps the lights were in his eyes? It gets ridiculously bright at times.

He seemed a little apologetic after and said something about not being able to reach my hand. Whatever. It was ... unexpected. KMFDM were much better than the first time I saw them. Very light on classics, but I enjoyed their new stuff all the same, surprisingly. I didn't mean to, but ended up in the pit for the first time in like a decade. It was good; I managed to get to the other side of the stage to take pictures from a different angle  I managed a picture of the setlist too:
Lucia was stupidly loving hot. So KMFDM is a little bit samey nowadays... Sascha did the right thing marrying her.  I won't have time to process photos until next week unfortunately.

I just got back from KMFDM in Boston at the Royale. My second time seeing KMFDM (first was house of blues Boston in 09). I have to say this show was utterly amazing. Andy the drummer has a hosed up hand and played with one arm. Great show! Much better than the first time i saw them.

Say what you will about WTF?! (personally I think it's easily the strongest KMFDM album since WWIII) but I really dig how they're playing nearly everything off it. Gives me a feeling that the band has confidence in their new material, whatever a certain part of their fanbase might say about it. I think I'm gonna have to start planning another trip to Stockholm this year, seeing as Finland isn't one of their stops on this tour
