OKAY!!! The concert in syracuse started off really sucky. I
hate the club (the lost horizon). there is an unusually long wait. they
played the xian music twice and then started the diamana galas music.
they finally came out. Get your gunn. It was very good. Then another
song (organ grinder?) . Then they started another
song (cake and sodomy?) . the rev was getting **VERY**
pissed. he smashed the mic stand a few times, threw the mic down and
walked off. Twiggy put his bass covering his amp so it started to feed
back. daisy did likewise. Pogo threw his keyboard across the stage into
the drums. Ginger got up and left. (it's looking real bad) Frankie
comes out and they fix the stage. They put tape around the rev's mic.
They come back out and start with down in the park. (the rev is
**PISSED**) he get's most of the way through it and smashes his guitar
down and then smashes it into the drums, he then leaves. Twiggy gives his
bass to someone off stage, as does daisy. pogo leaves, ginger kicks
apart his drums and also leaves. <<>> they start to rebuild
the stage during the wait. they put rubber mats on the stage where the
rev stands. Finally, they come back out. They are ALL pissed at this
point. The rev screams about how the club sucks and that if they could
get their shit together he wouldn't be getting fucking electrocuted. He
says they are going to play a few more songs, but it was up to us to rip
this place apart. IRRESPONSIBLE HATE ANTHEM. (like I said they are pissed) about into the second chorus
the ceiling behind me comes down. (here's the layout. First the stage,
then a pit area where there is a high ceiling. then a railing and a
higher floor where there is a dropped ceiling) the dropped ceiling get's
completely removed. Chaos ensues. The rev gets hit by a large peice of
the ceiling tile, but continues to sing (zepp is taping the whole thing)
(don't ask me for a tape, I don't have one; zepp works for the band) The
club shuts down the lights and the sound system, but the band still has
power to their own amps and continue to play. they finish the song (in
the dark) and then they leave. (it's now 10:50 pm) shows over.
But we aren't done. The crowd stays for ten more minutes ripping the
place apart. Franky comes out at about 10:55 and announces that The Rev.
got hit by somethin and that his eye is bleeding. A riot almost starts. A
bouncer jumps into the pit and starts punching people (fucking total
anarchy at this point) ceiling tiles, the metal support braces, and
beer bottles are flying everywhere) finally at eleven most people
start to leave.
