NSFW General: Tell Us Your Concerts

[Snarf Zagyg]

Slayer played the Connecticut Street Armory 94ish. I didnt go but talked to 3-5 people who did and said they were standing and cou;d feel the floor sway from everyone moshing.

Saw Slayer in 90, you couldnt even see the stage because of the dust cloud from everyone moshing,

Slayer shows were fun, I can imagine a Ministry show being the same.

Ministry was intense. Well, it was in the 90s (pretty much through Filth Pig).

Al Jourgenson's ... habits .... made their performances a little more erratic after that. But you never felt as alive as in a Ministry mosh pit. And you never felt as broken as the day after!

Al Jourgenson's ... habits ....

Isn't there an old video they put out on VHS of them and Dave Navaro driving around LA trying to cop?

Al almost lost an arm and a foot.

Every now and then I think of Al, and then I'm like, "Wait, how is he still alive?"

"Wait, how is he still alive?"

Tell that to Mike Scacia. Too soon?

After awhile, it's all borrowed time.

You're not surprised by the Scaccias or the Layne Staleys or the Scott Weilands or Rick Jameses, so much as the ones who (like Keith Richards or Al Jourgenson) that manage to keep on going.

Oh yeah. Actually the novels he wrote with Brian Herbert were good.
