Glitterhosen, explodierenden Kleinkinder, und Feuer

Made the quick drive up to Edmonton on Friday to see Combichrist and Rammstein. With external beta on my new project opening up today it was good timing for a last minute escape ( Read more... )

I really wanted to go to Rammstein when they were in Seattle yesterday but I just couldn't make it work. I heard the Combrichrist part of the Seattle show was pretty crappy too.

Aw that sucks; I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance in future.

It's really too bad about Combichrist; they're a great band and normally a very good live show.

I saw them the last time they came through Portland but that was about 10 years ago.

Ah ok, excellent. I had never seen them before; I don't even think they've toured Western Canada before.

Heh, it's funny, Combichrist playing was a definite factor in my sentiment of "I'm not paying $80 for that." (I play them at the club because it's kind of obligatory, but I'm really not a fan.) If their set was not-so-good anyway, I feel even better about that decision. :)

Too bad about missing the fire-goodness, but oh well. Thanks for posting the videos. Z tried to send me some but I couldn't get it to play.

I like Combichrist. I don't pretend they're terribly groundbreaking or anything, but I enjoy their music. Rammstein was awesome and well worth it on their own. Oh and tickets were $30... in the section we were in, anyways.

Most of the people I knew who were going were sitting together somewhere that was in the $80 range. I'm not sure if it's a case where one person bought the tickets early on and then set out to profit slightly though. Either way, I don't like either band quite enough to sit by myself, and floor is not an attractive option at my height.

Either way, even if it was $30 I'm not sure I would have gone. I didn't like Rammstein's last few albums very much, plus I'm not big on making road trips when I'm trying to keep steady progress on my thesis. I actually missed seeing Kraftwerk when I was writing my MA, under similar circumstances.

Yeah I think ours were cheap because by the time we were done humming and hawing about whether or not we could go, the good seats were sold out :D That's ok, because

Oh yes. Much better to be a little further away and not trying to peer between people's shoulders :/
