I was trying to speak like an American hick, possibly from a cowboy film.

anyway, she fell off a horse and broke some ribs..I'm not sure if she can make it to London, Frankfurt or Brussels which is the suxxors

Cool As Ice Cream · 01-30-2008, 09:35 AM

aw, that would be a shame. i hope she can make it. it's three more weeks until brussels. plenty of healing time.

NothingSafe · 02-08-2008, 01:30 PM

Am going to Vorst, looking forward to it!

Tim Vanhamel should be a decent opener, unlike puddy in paris, what the hell was that?

Cool As Ice Cream · 02-08-2008, 02:13 PM

i heard the new tim vanhamel album. it's good. i'm not sure if vorst nationaal is a good place to bring it though.

come spend some time in my town; you'll learn the proper dialect. One quick visit to the local wal-mart should do it.

Cool As Ice Cream · 02-08-2008, 02:31 PM

there's cowboys at walmart?
boy, you americans have everything!

skipgo · 02-08-2008, 02:37 PM

in northern louisiana, there are cowboys and rednecks everywhere.
the typical person you will find walking around my town looks like:

actually we just have rednecks. Cowboys are in texas i guess.

leena · 02-09-2008, 06:11 AM

Hmm... I'd make a bad cowgirl as i fall of horses. Though i do it rodeo style.

I'll be in Vorst. And London. And Frankfurt as well most likely. Nothing superglue can't fix

. I'm gonna try and survive in the front even though this seems like a bad idea considering i fell on my back, but hey we only live once.

And Yes Tim Vanhamel is a decent opener. The venue is still far from selling out though.

Anyone else coming to Vorst?

Really? Vorst's capacity is around 6000 right?

leena · 02-12-2008, 09:30 AM

7000 to 8000 depending on the setup of the stage. My guess is there will be about 5000, maybe 6000 tickets sold by next week, not too bad really. There will be space left to breathe

. The standing area will be filled pretty fast though, and when it's full it's closed and you have to go to the balcony.

NothingSafe · 02-19-2008, 04:15 AM

This better be good, in a few hours i'll leave for brussels.

leena · 02-19-2008, 04:22 AM

Let's help make it be good

. What time will you be at the venue?

NothingSafe · 02-19-2008, 04:31 AM

I'll do my best, I feel like losing some energy

I'll probably be there around 18h

ancient_soul · 02-19-2008, 06:31 AM

anybody here still needs a ticket? i know it won't be sold out but we now have a spare ticket. we will leave eastwestphalia (germany) around 14h so we will be at the venue around 18h. if anybody is interested pm me before 14h. cu in brussels

Cool As Ice Cream · 02-19-2008, 07:19 AM

yo yo see you guys!

JRiordan · 02-19-2008, 07:24 AM

Hopefully the show rocks!

Puggy, and yes there were shit. Attempted to ruin the evening.

leena · 02-19-2008, 08:35 PM

Just got back from the Brussels show and it was a blast! Same setlist as London, but what a great show. The Billy rant in the middle was so... Billy, pretty silly but he tried fooling us by saying the show was over, hahaha. He talked about the Brussels gig that got canceled years ago (SP1 era) and the speech in Gent, during TFE.

It seems the crowd was pretty cool as well, i can't really tell i was in the front. The venue wasn't sold out, but they closed the upper part close to the stage so it looked full. I was told there were 6000 people. Not bad at all.

The show lasted till past 11:30, 10 minutes more than the O2 gig, i think because of US being even longer than before. Good vibes, Billy took the time to thank the audience.

Oh and Ginger was wearing some latex pants under her dress. Lol. Jeff was wearing the coolest suit.

It was fun and it was nice seeing familiar faces.

And i really like Billy doing "lips like sugar".

And i liked this show more than the 02 one.

The Gaddrow · 02-19-2008, 09:26 PM

Awesome. I'm glad to hear about another good show. I really hope they keep working on Lips Like Sugar.

I really like Billy's cover of lips like sugar, I think his vocals sound really good and I haven't been able to get it out of my head all day!

stumpycat · 02-20-2008, 03:36 AM

I like this idea of the band stationing themselves in a residency playing "a night for each era." It would be brilliant! Everyone could be satisfied! (However, I do wonder if Billy would get the not-so-pretty "reality check" about some later material when everything past "MCIS night" drew proportionately descreasing crowds?)

Yes, to me it's very much in Bill's "old vocal style" which he did typically employ, well...back in the 80's. It seems that, on the whole, his vocals have lost some of the weirder affectations that he's adopted on and off in recent years--yet, for the better--also kept some quality of consistency (which seemed wildly lacking starting about the Siamese Dream era.)

It is true!
When Texas is said to lie in the "southwestern" United States, it is a pretty good desriptor of some of the influences we have here. Basically, "rednecks" are most often associated with the Southern states, and "cowboys" are associated with the Western states. Here, we have both. They are actually two different regional "cultures" which do not necessarily overlap--not even in the same social circles. If you're truly curious you could ask me the difference, but perhaps you can draw certain conclusions about what these are based on your own knowledge of certain well known stereotypes that are apparently known well enough in the rest of the world.

(My guess, though, is that some of the only "true" working cowboys still left in the US reside in states like Montana.)

Me too. I love the bit where he says sugar kisses and brings the end of kisses down a few notes so it's kinda harmonized with ginger. This isn't in the original.

I love the little touches the pumpkins put on other peoples songs thta seem to improve them 10 fold.
