| m wilson we'll sink this city | Posted On 23-10-04 02:18:30 Subject: RE: KMFDM atlhough there were not as many people there as were needed, it really raises the bar for shows in saint john i think. there were about 200 people there, and the crowd was awesome, and it was a really good time. i was very impressed with everything. erin: nice meeting you. finally you got your pin. liam: i'm sorry, i hope you get well soon. linda and brian: thanks for putting so much effort into this show and to all the others you do. i know you both get discouraged sometimes, but we all really appreciate what you're doing. xo |
| skeptic tank drummer | Posted On 23-10-04 02:20:50 Subject: RE: KMFDM sounds like a good time |
| LashingOutHilariously Errrin Just another manniquin face? | Posted On 23-10-04 02:24:56 Subject: RE: KMFDM Thankya! It's on my sweater now. |
| boyer Sean Boyer Wrong by default | Posted On 23-10-04 02:26:41 Subject: RE: KMFDM Yeah! Fuckin' eh MW. A round of applause to Linda and Brain. Say thanks to them everyone. And I swear we should have a parade for Leeman. I'm going to anyway. Who's with me? |
| kinetic i take pictures without their permission. | Posted On 23-10-04 02:55:10 Subject: RE: KMFDM Oh. My. Fuck. Linda - you are a goddess. Thank you, thank you, for bringing that show to us. To the guy who kept elbowing me in the face in the pit - you are not a goddess. Everyone else: well done. I love being in a crowd with a hundred people all kicking the crap out of each other and smilin' at each other the whole time. Power of the music, baby. To Tan-Nee: thank you for being so light and easy to lift, for i am very weak. I saw a lot of digicams out there tonight. Let's see those pics, people! |
| C.S. Graves I've got angst in my pants | Posted On 23-10-04 02:59:19 Subject: RE: KMFDM I take it this was better than their Kamloops show: http://www.livejournal.com/users/devoguy/ (search for KMFDM) |
| Eddie No good deed goes unpunished. msn: eddie@sjfn.nb.caYou and I in a rowboat, at the end of the world. | Posted On 23-10-04 03:19:59 Subject: RE: KMFDM I agree, thank you to Linda & Brian for such an awesome show. And Boyer, I'd probably be down for a parade for leeman, just let me know when. and Kinetic: "To the guy who kept elbowing me in the face in the pit - you are not a goddess" <evil>are you sure that wasn't Betsy?</evil> and Matt, I don't think I saw you there (I turned up a bit late), but I'm glad you had a good time. W00t! |
| crow ho crow ho | Posted On 23-10-04 03:31:28 Subject: RE: KMFDM Linda and Brian, gove yourselves a BIG pat on the back. Thanx for all the hard work k, I must get some sleep |
| Eddie No good deed goes unpunished. msn: eddie@sjfn.nb.caYou and I in a rowboat, at the end of the world. | Posted On 23-10-04 03:37:55 Subject: RE: KMFDM Now that I think about it, Leeman might appreciate us all buying him a beer some night (like this wednesday) instead of a parade. I 'spose we'll have to ask him though. (I know which I'd want) |
| medusa medusa smoke crack and worship satan | Posted On 23-10-04 03:56:56 Subject: RE: KMFDM I just want to thank everyone for coming out.. there were actually 300 plus there.. so thank you saint john and the 70 plus people who came from fredericton.. thanks to everyone who helped up by spreading the word for the show.. hopefully we will see this many people for the great fire festival Linda |
| tan-nee | Posted On 23-10-04 09:55:52 Subject: RE: KMFDM i wanted to write a post to thank linda and brian and everyone who helped as soon as i got in last night, but since i had to work this morning, i was forced to go to sleep...but i was so excited that didn't happen for close to an hour!! in either care: THANK YOU GUYS! the show was awesome, definitely best show i've been to this year. the front was crazy and filled with good vibes. there's just something about seeing a big band like kmfdm and knowing EVERYBODY in the crowd that makes it all worthwhile and a totally unique experience! for the record, i would have payed more than $25 for that. kinetic: heh heh heh, it felt good to be able to throw around 300 lb men like paper. ;) matthew: i just realized WE WERE PICKING UP CHANGE IN THE PIT! erin: you're cute! |
| hooligans hooligans | Posted On 23-10-04 10:26:47 Subject: RE: KMFDM Woah, I have to agree with you Matt. In my short life it's probably the best show I've been to. I definately want to thank linda for bringing them aswell. The highlight was probably when some guy from fredericton said i was "the craziest 16 year old he ever met" :) |
| theVoid Josh josh dot darrell at gmail dot com | Posted On 23-10-04 11:01:54 Subject: RE: KMFDM definitely, easily, the best show I've ever been to... still in a lot of pain in recovering, but it was all worth it. I only got 20 pictures taken (after the super-blur and/or blackness ones were deleted) and 8 movies. The sound is pretty horrible in the movies, but they are still cool :) And yeah, that pit was intense and so much fun. Everyone was jumping, pushing, punching, you name it... but if you met eyes with someone, they met yours right back with a smile. Everyone was there to have fun and not to hurt others. And how about those Acucrack guys? Jesus fuck! (I will work on a way to host the pics and vids) |
| m wilson we'll sink this city | Posted On 23-10-04 12:10:36 Subject: RE: KMFDM so yeah, i've never seen a show like that in saint john before. excellent. |
| kinetic i take pictures without their permission. | Posted On 23-10-04 12:10:56 Subject: RE: KMFDM Hooligans: are you the Scott that i met in line with the short folks? If so, it was good meeting you. ("Scott? Yeah, i know him. I met him in line." "You mean online?" "No. In line.") |
| LashingOutHilariously Errrin Just another manniquin face? | Posted On 23-10-04 12:29:32 Subject: RE: KMFDM Tan-nee: You put a big smile on my face, you're so cute n small. Kinetic: If that Scott had a fro, it was probably him. I was a short folk with him. |
| Leeman HAIL TO THE Leeman1@gamil.com | Posted On 23-10-04 12:43:53 Subject: RE: KMFDM I missed the whole thing I saw one song though |
| hooligans hooligans | Posted On 23-10-04 13:09:58 Subject: RE: KMFDM Yeah man that was me! and Erin (lashingblablabla) was one of the gals. We had one fucking sweet time in that pit man :D |
| collide Collide maintaining plausible deniability | Posted On 23-10-04 13:17:11 Subject: RE: KMFDM leeman: that fukkin' blows. milson: um, matt? what are you doing? why are you still wearing the costume? lash: *squeeze* kmfdm: i hear you guys are good. everyone: thank you for letting me live vicariously through you since i couldn't go. |
| LashingOutHilariously Errrin Just another manniquin face? | Posted On 23-10-04 13:25:04 Subject: RE: KMFDM Cooolide: Squeeze! |
| m wilson we'll sink this city | Posted On 23-10-04 13:33:18 Subject: RE: KMFDM Josh was rough housing in the pit! The best part was when Matt White's boyfriend kept getting into my personal space, and I kept pushing him away. And then he realized that I was pushing him and he started to get all mean to me. And I started pushing him really hard, and his friend stopped him cause his friend realized I was about to break some skulls. |
| meg | Posted On 23-10-04 13:45:33 Subject: RE: KMFDM I'm not a big fan of the band, but great job Linda and Brian for the great turn out! This will look great for SJ.... We can get some even better bands! I'm glad everyone had fun. |
| pierre pierre i like the night life baby | Posted On 23-10-04 13:49:16 Subject: RE: KMFDM me and isabelle had a great time. thanks linda and brian, awesome to see you succeed. you must feel like this weight is off your shoulders. |
| Leader of the Autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 15:05:00 Subject: RE: KMFDM Question?? Who the fuck has bought a KMFDM cd before this show??? If it's more than 10 (and you have receipts to prove it) I'll take of my clothes and teabag myself in King's Square. And 25 bucks!!???? For an extra 5 bucks I'm gonna see Lamb of God, Fear Factory, Throwdown and Children of Botom. Could the band wagon get any fuller? |
| theVoid Josh josh dot darrell at gmail dot com | Posted On 23-10-04 15:18:06 Subject: RE: KMFDM randall: for myself, kmfdm was a band that I listened to quite a bit in high school... almost as much as NIN, Front Line Assembly, and Skinny Puppy. The past few years of my life I haven't listened to them as much, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna shit my pants when they come to Saint John. I expect it was the same for a lot of people. |
| Leader of the Autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 15:28:43 Subject: RE: KMFDM I'm not doubting there is a few who really like them. Everyones making a big stink acting like it's the biggest act we ever got. Remember June 12th??? Slayer?? It's was only and extra 10 bucks too. Not to mention Dime was there. Where the fuck was everybody's support for the Saint John music scene then?? This was a really good opportunity to get big heavy bands more serious about coming here and no one fucking showed. Let's see how many new KMFDM t-shirt we see floating around for the next month or so before they fade back into the early 90's where they where good and dead. |
| dan j mrdanjones@hotmail.com - for MSN website has contact info for shows | Posted On 23-10-04 15:42:45 Subject: RE: KMFDM the thing about the kmfdm show is that it was actually someone from the scene that took the risk to put the show on, not harbour station and a big promotional company. its hard to say a concert at harbour station is reflective of any sort of scene effort. |
| C.S. Graves I've got angst in my pants | Posted On 23-10-04 15:48:41 Subject: RE: KMFDM I've got one of their CD's but did not attend. Went to some can't miss shows at the Imperial though. I mean, how often do we get Maori and kodo drummers? |
| Norman | Posted On 23-10-04 16:05:44 Subject: RE: KMFDM Hey Randall: >Everyones making a big stink acting like it's the biggest act we ever got. Remember June 12th??? Slayer?? It's was only and extra 10 bucks too. There is a world of difference between Slayer and KMFDM, so don't even put them in the same category dude. Maybe nobody went to the Slayer show because they're fucking boring and I can name 20 other bands who sound just like them. >Let's see how many new KMFDM t-shirt we see floating around for the next month or so before they fade back into the early 90's where they where good and dead. There always has to be some dork who likes to shit on everyone's parade. KMFDM are the best, most interesting band to come to this city in a long time. I'd rather go see them than some contrived metal band that have nothing interesting to say, and I'm sure many of the people there last night feel the same way. And whoever brought up the fact that the maritime shows weren't sold out like the other Canadian cities...big friggin surprise!!! Maybe it's because most folks on the east coast listen to crap music. Just turn on any commercial FM station in this city and you'll see what I mean. |
| Leader of the Autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 16:20:00 Subject: RE: KMFDM What are you fucking brain dead?? KMFDM is more of a deserving act than Slayer?? They might have a more seemingly unique approach than Slayer for music being made around here but there's a ton of Eurotrash that sounds like them. As far as shitting on your parade. I don't give a fuck who was there and whether they liked them or not. It's this jump on the new thing mentality that's is this city's biggest problem as far as musical growth goes. It's too bad the new thing this week is a washed up band that wasn't even fuck all in their prime. But hey they're better than Slayer. |
| dan j mrdanjones@hotmail.com - for MSN website has contact info for shows | Posted On 23-10-04 16:30:24 Subject: RE: KMFDM sour grapes? |
| hooligans hooligans | Posted On 23-10-04 16:38:26 Subject: RE: KMFDM Get ready for that teabag, Randy, I owned kmfdm cd's long before this show and i'm fucking 16 man. So what if we say this is the biggest show put on in Saint John? I'd have to agree on what was said about it being put on by showgoers themself rather then a 'stadium' dealy. I enjoyed the show to no end, and don't think i'll top it for a while. And what would you get pissed at us for saying the KMFDM show was better for the scene then the Slayer one, when you're doing the same thing to us! |
| collide Collide maintaining plausible deniability | Posted On 23-10-04 16:41:56 Subject: RE: KMFDM sour grapes can still make a good wine. either way, i'm sure there were plenty of people at slayer for the same reason. unless you can prove to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that everyone, or even a majority, of those at the slayer concert are hardcore fans, or even listen at all, i think this conversation could easily keep going in circles. |
| kinetic i take pictures without their permission. | Posted On 23-10-04 17:18:00 Subject: RE: KMFDM So...you're mad because some people who attended the show weren't KMFDM fans from way back? I go to shows all the time for bands whose albums i don't own, and if i enjoy the show i'll rave about it afterwards. Sheesh. I mean, as it happens, i've owned several KMFDM cd's for years, and i've long considered them one of my favourite bands. They're also a bit more "underground" than most of the big acts that come to Harbour Station (Slayer included) so it's a more rare treat that they would come here. I also happen to find KMFDM about a hundred times more interesting than Slayer, who i've always found bland and way overrated - but that's just my opinion and i'm not into the genre, so there you are. KMFDM and Slayer have very different styles and personalities as performers, so they're gonna attract some different kinds of people. If it's that much of a problem for you that some of us think KMFDM are (much, much) better than Slayer, well, i guess you're just going to have to get over it. And, yes, i'd rather go out of my way to see a local promoter like Linda's shows make money than Harbour Station. And quit complaining about the ticket price, anyone who wanted to could've got a ticket for $15 in advance - i'd have paid twice that to see KMFDM. I wouldn't take a Slayer ticket if it was free. |
| Leader of the Autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 18:14:44 Subject: RE: KMFDM The teabag deal is only valid with actual receipt no close fascimilies accepted. My main argument is the show was over-priced and over-hyped. I'm glad you all had a good time, I'm sad KMFDM's bus didn't blow up on the way out of town. I'm also more metal than the average man. Schwing!!! |
| hooligans hooligans | Posted On 23-10-04 18:31:05 Subject: RE: KMFDM Because there is nothing more metal then saying how metal you are. |
| JordanZ alive & breathing. | Posted On 23-10-04 18:31:48 Subject: RE: KMFDM LOL awesome. |
| kinetic i take pictures without their permission. | Posted On 23-10-04 19:09:09 Subject: RE: KMFDM Agreed, hooligans. Well said. Same goes for punk. |
| Leader of the Autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 20:33:28 Subject: RE: KMFDM The only things more metal than proclaimings one's own metal are 1- a skull tattoo 2- a flying V guitar 3- T shirt of bands that are far too metal for the current time (IE Van Halen, GnFnR and to a lesser extent ZZ Top). For the record I have to skull tattoos and a solid GnR collection. |

| leader of the autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 21:38:34 Subject: RE: KMFDM Dan you aren't Metal enough to post within 3 posts of me. So if a mod could come in and delete his post it'd really boost the metal up in here. |
| JordanZ alive & breathing. | Posted On 23-10-04 21:40:04 Subject: RE: KMFDM lol now THAT made me laugh. |
| dan j mrdanjones@hotmail.com - for MSN website has contact info for shows | Posted On 23-10-04 21:44:13 Subject: RE: KMFDM no, i'm not metal enough but i'm also a moderator here on giraffecycle. watch your step ;) |
| leader of the autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 23-10-04 21:48:54 Subject: RE: KMFDM Even on the internet where I can't see your funny haircut your threats still mean nothing haha. PS That was only 1 post. |

| Brain | Posted On 24-10-04 14:11:37 Subject: RE: KMFDM Is it ok for me to where my t-shirt Randall? Wouldnt want you to laugh at me if I walk by the shop with it on! |
| meg | Posted On 24-10-04 16:53:38 Subject: RE: KMFDM ahh Randels' just a grouchy dork. |
| leader of the autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 24-10-04 17:24:57 Subject: RE: KMFDM First you bring in the Pitbull posters now you want to wear the KMFDM t-shirts. That's dirty pool. |
| zmd | Posted On 24-10-04 18:06:30 Subject: RE: KMFDM sorry, i have to interrupt but...thank you guys for putting on the show. it has completed 1 third of my lifes goal as far as seeing bands go...i personally thought the price was pretty cheap, esp with the 15 dollar tickets up front. now, if you could do me the favour of getting ministry to open for nine inch nails(and maybe tack Einstürzende Neubauten onto the bill)then life would be complete and i would wander off into the forest and die happy and i personally loved seeing lots of people who were not regulars to the "scene". i talked with a few people in the line up who had obviously been fans for years(like myself). all in all, my favourite show in SJ. |
| Christian | Posted On 25-10-04 08:04:30 Subject: RE: KMFDM Big props and thank you's to Linda and Brian for the show. Not to sound too rustic or anything, but it felt like one of them thar big city shows. Very awesome. (and a big 'fuck you' to anyone who has a problem with people enjoying themselves, bandwagon or no bandwagon...Optimus Prime, I'm looking at you here) |
| leader of the autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 25-10-04 17:52:46 Subject: RE: KMFDM Oh he said "fuck you" to me. If only I could describe the sound of my tears hitting the floor through mere typing. NO TALKING ON THE BAND WAGON PERMITTED CHRISTA!! |
| ecPunk Brad, I think guys the internet for other people. | Posted On 25-10-04 18:10:35 Subject: RE: KMFDM I have 11 skulls tattooed on me and i own a g'n'r shirt and a def leppard shirt (circa hysteria)...How metal am I? |
| El Jefe Jon Forward healing tool in a world torn apart ... by religion | Posted On 25-10-04 18:47:40 Subject: RE: KMFDM I never listened to them before, but I'll probably start. There should have been a KMFDM trivia contest and a CD receipt checker at the door to keep people like me out though. |
| Christian | Posted On 26-10-04 13:06:44 Subject: RE: KMFDM Dear leader: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cr...hey, wait a minute, I thought that that Meatloaf thing was the only thing that could get to you! |
| leader of the autobots Captain Metal | Posted On 26-10-04 15:37:50 Subject: RE: KMFDM The Meatloaf video and meaningless slander from people I don't know. My chest hair and poor etiquette makes up for it though. |
| sixteenth avenue | Posted On 18-04-05 10:42:13 Subject: RE: KMFDM Great Show. |
| Panik How was my weekend? one of those bridget jones movies Thanks for asking. :( | Posted On 18-04-05 21:02:54 Subject: RE: KMFDM pbbbbbbbt you guys havent seen a good show till you experience what i did this weekend. An 80 year old womans birthday. Like 40 old people crammed in one house with an elvis impersonator...some even cried. Yeah! top that one. Time of my life. |
