Keresés

mert eddig nem láttam, baszod

hát úgy tűnik, én leszek a legkevésbé cool azzal, hogy végre beírom: láttam a Pixiest Ljubljanában, és örültem neki. akkor még jobb lett volna, ha mondjuk kétszázzal kevesebb jegyet adnak el a szervezők, és az a Zahovic-fejű köcsög nem hadonászik mellettem egész végig, de azért így is FASSSSSSSSSSZA volt (ahogy Károly mondaná).
top 5 a koncertről:
Velouria
I Bleed
Planet Of Sound
Something Against You
Dead.

top 5 a le nem játszott számokból:

Cecilia Ann
Allison
Is She Weird?
Tony's Theme
Levitate Me

megüresedett egy hely a berlini Pixies (+Ash +Franz Ferdinand) koncertre. 32ezer a koncertjegy+repjegy, szállás is megvan 3 estére, az se drága, lehet jelentkezni (fényképpel:)

hát a közönségről elég annyit elmondani, hogy a toten hosen után léptek fel amire felvonult az osztrák punktársadalom színe-java:) aztán amelyikük még nem volt öntudatlanul bebaszva az rögtön takarodott is el onnan..
az ottmaradt emberek nagy része meg chilire várt ami persze azért mind népszerűségben mind stílusban más kategória.. valószínű töredékük hallott csak a pixiesről de erre számítani lehetett..
azért voltunk páran rajongók elöl a 3. sorban:)))
a kontakt tényleg kimerült kb egy "today is my birthday"-ben de akkor is krva jó volt őket élőben látni-hallani!!!
persze a napot inkábbb a chili zseniális fellépése tette emlékezetessé.
én azért finoman szólva nem bántam meg hogy elmentem..

Hát, nagy élmény lehetett... FrankBlack.net fórumból:

"I expected this concert to be bad, but not THAT bad. it was not the band's fault, they were in good shape. but they were completely misplaced and lost at this shit festival (rhcp, metallica, slipknot, life of agony,...). somewhere between 100.000 and 150.000 people attended it, maybe more. and as i expected, most of them came to get heavily drunk to heavy metal. additionally, the festival site is absolutely awful and depressing - industrial wasteland. the only reason behind this so-called festival is the maximation of money - it has nothing to do with music, there is no heart or soul behind it, and so there is absolutely no atmosphere. just really awful - and people like me are still stupid enough to spend money on it.
what about the pixies ? they played to 60.000 people (some number i heard at sometime). all those people knew the band which played before, and they knew the band after (rhcp). but maybe 5% knew about the pixies. and so was the response. being sqeezed like tuna fish, all i could see was the big video wall. really great. i had the notion when they walked up, in my area i was the only one who cheered, so i gave up quickly.
they started with bone machine, then followed the usual pilgrim/surfer/doolittle-program. pre-doolittle songs were velouria and u-mass only. drunken assholes with slipknots shirt next to me screamed, vomited and jumped around - much to stoned to have any idea what is going on. gigantic was recognized, and so was where is my mind - possibly everbody thought they are covering placebo. really sad. at some point kim said "today is my birthday" -people next to me started singing happy birthday, and when they came to "happy birthday, dear... " they didn't know the name. seeing frank on the video screen most people were obviously thinking "who is this fat guy ? he should make place for rhcp". to this non-existent audience-band relationship, which could be felt all the time, the pixies reacted by marching off after vamos, without any word or encore. but practically no-one asked for the latter one.
overall, the band and sound was very good, very tight. this concert would have been perfect in a smaller venue, with people who come and pay to see the pixies. but under this circumstances it was just awful and sad. so who is to blame ? they said they are basically doing this tour for money, and i knew. but i was optimistic enough to believe i would get something for my money - and i was wrong. terribly wrong. this concert left a very bad taste in my mouth. it was one of this things which you can only respond to in a cynical way, and that is never good.

i have seen fb&tc half a year ago - it was in small club, 400 people, assorted fans, if you like. it was the best concert i have ever attended. he also played pixies tunes, and i enjoyed them a lot. and it seemed he also enjoyed it - quite the opposite to today. to conclude, i can only say, i want my frank black back."

június 10-én a bécsújhelyi pixies-rhcp-re beszállnék odaút-visszaútba, ha van még hely valakinél kocsiban
(sőt ha netán két szabad hely lenne, tudok még egy jelentkezőt)

Tessék ezt szépen végigolvasni, megéri. Frankblack.net fórumból van.

Right.
Yesterday, I went to the Pinkpop festival only to see the Pixies.
You can find a review here: http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8074
After the show I wanted to go home immediately, it kept raining, and after seeing the Pixies, no other bands seemed to have any importance.
I met another fan at the train station.
We talked about how cool the Pixies were, and still are.
Started singing Pixies songs to kill some time.
Talked about the show, how cool Joey was during Vamos, how glad I was they did In heaven.
After about half an hour a voice came through the speakers in the train telling us we had to switch trains due to a car accident some miles ahead.
A guy with a sleepy head asked us in English what they told, and if this was the right train to Amsterdam.
I told him he also had to leave this train and take the other one.
I noticed the pink bracelet he was wearing around his wrist and while walking on te platform towards the next train I asked him if he also went to the Pinkpop festival.
"Yeah," he siad, "I went to see my brother."
All of a sudden I just knew who was walking next to me.
This person had to be...
"So your name is... Thompson?"
"Yeah yeah, Chuck's my brother, I came here to see him perform with the Pixies..."
I was stunned.
Of all people in the world I just met the brother of the person who I adore for making in my opinion the best music ever made!
The beginning of a very interesting conversation.
I talked to him for about fifty minutes, enough time to ask him almost anything I wanted to know about The man and his music.

I hope he's cool with me publishing this on the forum, and I guess he knew I would do this, so I feel I'm doing right.
Chuck, don't hate me for this, don't kill your brother for this...

Ok here's the rest of the Errol Thompson IV story:

"Oh man, there's so much I'd like to as you about his music, and there's so much you probably know about it, but I'm afraid you won't tell?"
He laughs.
I ask him about the new stuff.
"What do you wanna know? Pixies or his solo stuff?"
I start about the solo album.
"Honeycomb?, ah, it's good..."
"Better than Show me your tears?"
"I thinks so, yes, but it's different, that's because it's not live recorded"
"Recorded in 24 tracks right?"
"Yeah, it sounds slick, but it's damn good"
He tells about the difference between this and a Catholics record. All different sudio artists, completely different sound compared to the Catholics stuff.
Honeycomb is already completely finished, waiting for it's release.
He couldn't tell me the date of release though.
Couldn't believe my ears when he tells me he owns three different versions of that album...
But there's more to top that...
He tells me he owns a lot of unreleased stuff, enough to fill six albums!!!
Of course I asked if it's possible to put it on the fb.net FTP.
He smiles and says it's not gonna happen.
Yet.
CT often uses parts of old unreleased songs to use in new ones.
Once, there will be a moment these song will be released too, he assures me.
I can't help to ask:"So are the Catholics history?"
"No no, I guess not, they definately will be playing together some time, for sure, they're so good as a band, they're amazing."
He tells me it doesn't matter who Chuck's playing with, it's all good.
Nice to see his brother is probably his biggest fan.
He's very proud and is happy to tell about his brother, obviously he's willing to tell me a lot because of the fact it's not hard to see I'm a big fan...
He tells me Charles gave him all the DiscLive recordings, but he didn't have the time to listen to all of them.
Coachella is my favourite, and he says he was there as well...
When his job allows it he's following Chuck where he can.
After staying with friends in Amsterdam he'll travel to London to watch the Pixies' shows.
After that, he will join them in Paris, and even in Japan...
I ask him what kind of job he has, how the hell does he manage to have the time and/or money to join the half of the Pixies tour?
He says he owns a bar, which is quite succesfull, one good man is all it takes to do the job, he says, grinning.
"Quite a good living..."
I ask for the name of the bar, which I forgot already.
According to him, it's already posted somewhere on the forum.
Yep that's right, Frank's brother often reads our posts on the forum...
He's quite positive about the site:"It's a good site, it's so complete, and I really enjoy reading the posts, don't know who runs it though.."
I tell him I believe it's some guy from Canada, haha, referring to Dean with the most posts...
You're from Canada right?
But are you the one who runs the site?
He tells he signed in once, but actually didn't post anything.
"It's good not to spoil the mystery..."
He assures me Charles will be back to post on the forum.
"He likes that a lot"
I tell he him how much it is appreciated by us, the fans, and he says Frank knows that, he knows how we feel to be close to our hero.
Talking about our hero: I asked Errol about The Ring...
"They'll probably get married soon..."
"So it's an engagement ring?"
"I like to call it a promise ring"
I sure like the idea of that.
And now for something completely different:
The Pixies will release an album with new songs!!!
The Pixies will release an album with new songs!!!
The Pixies will release an album with new songs!!!
Yes, that's right.
The Pixies will release an album with new songs!!!
Errol told me he's not easily shocked but he sure was when he listened to those new songs...
So now you know why I referred to a 2005/2006 tour...
Man, I was flabbergasted by these words he told me.
New Pixies songs...
There is a god!

And then I gave him my last cigarette which he enjoyed and went home.

Biztos, hogy sokan olvastátok már, de ez jó.
Annak meg, aki megy koncertre, igéretes.

"Instead, tonight is for the music, which is exactly how it should be with this legendary band. And that music? Well, it's still perfect. Set over a roar of a thousand screaming voices that know nearly every word, the Pixies are buzzing with brilliance and better than you ever imagined they could be. Onstage, Black looks like an older, chubbier, constantly grimacing cousin of Matt Lucas, but he slurs the blues of 'Bone Machine' like a sex god, eeks the lyrics of 'Monkey Gone To Heaven' like an indie prophet, and curls out every note of 'Where Is My Mind?' in the way that makes you forget every other band in the world. Radiofoot? Libertimes? Franz Fernando?"

mellé ment, a vamos-ra gondoltam, giganticot komázom

A Gigantic? Nekem sem kedvencem.

egyetlen Pixies szám van, amit nem szeretek, és nem elég hogy két lemezen is rajta van, de még következetesen eljátszák mindig

Ja, ha fesztivál, akkor oké. Az azért nem ugyanaz, mint előzenekarnak lenni, bár kétségtelenül ez is hányás.

Q magazinban lattam hirdetest. ugyanazon a fesztivalon lep fel mas napokon a Madness ill. Morrissey is.
faszt akadekoskodsz, nem keresek forrast.

Szerintem ez a Manchester dolog nem stimmel. Forrást!

Hogy merik...
Persze volt a U2-nak is. A világ LEGSZARABB zenekarának.

Allison egyszer sem???
hiba.

Manchesterben nyaron lesz Pixies, mint support act. es kinek lesz az elozenekara a Pixies? ugy van, a kibaszott Stereophonicsnak... ezt egyszeruen nem hiszem el, a vilag egyik legszarabb zenekaranak!
