Guest Z_B_Z Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 i suppose you either love them or hate them.. although how you couldnt like something like "hot on the heels of love" or "united" is beyond me.. id really love to see one of their us shows.. chicago is the closest but its just not feasable for me to go there. money would be required and i have none.

J3FF3R00 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) A/D said: i have a good friend who's going to the show tonight . . if you see a tall punk-looking girl with alex gray tattoos, tell her abe said hi! and then get to know her, she is awesome. i hope it's a good show! report back please. hey, the girl you described was just about every other person there. The show was cool. The first hour was the band performing a live score for Derek Jarman's "In the Shadow of the Sun". That was my favorite part of the show. The next hour and a half, the band sat down and signed autographs. No kidding. The following hour was projector art with a loud repetitive note synced to 3 projectors. Then, the band played for about another hour - hour and a half. They played about 7 or 8 songs. The only 2 I recognized were Discipline and Hamburger Lady. It was a cool show, but they are all so old. The bass and sound was top notch. The lighting was terrible. The house lights were on the whole time and people kept yelling to turn the lights down. At several points, Genesis gestured to someone offstage to turn down the lights, following which, some idiot turned down the key lights on the band. The only song that was somewhat energetic was Discipline (energetic meaning Genesis took the mic off the stand). Truthfully, I'm happy I got my ticket for free. I don't think I would have ever paid $100 to go see them. I also got them to sign my ticket... which is pretty cool. ps Here is a cool, recent interview with Genesis on the VBS series "Soft Focus" http://www.vbs.tv/shows.php?show=1087 *edit* post # 1111 Edited April 17, 2009 by jefferoo Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide J3FF3R00's signature Hide all signatures 666 Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/38548-throbbing-gristle/page/2/#findComment-1015958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A/D Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 haha, word. i think tickets were $20. i probably would have gone if i was in the area. i don't know if i'm good for 4 hours of vaguely TG-related activity though Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/38548-throbbing-gristle/page/2/#findComment-1016144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that in the disc changer once, whilst getting busy and when it switched over to Electric Cafe , it seriously side railed the whole situation.

Velazquez Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'd advise keeping TG out of boot knocking playlists, unless you've ball gagged some goth chic and you've neatly placed your nuts on her forehead and unfurled your schlong down the bridge of her nose.
