They even made Wembley Arena sound smaller. I like their first 2 albums but wasn't that impressed with the third one. I was fortunate enough to meet her when I booked Goodbye Mr McKenzie, very nice girl indeed. Their guitarist was also quite a nice fella (Big John from The Exploited) Cheers Raj - ----- Original Message ----- From: Martyn White Sent: 30 August 2002 16:19 To: Seven-Seas@Smoe.Org Subject: seven-seas OT Garbage/Flapping! This will probably get me some stick, but I saw Garbage last night at the Electric Ballroom(small venue, holds 600) in London, and they were fantastic! Been a fan for yeras but never seen them live, as I hate stadium gigs but I was lucky enough to get tickets for this small gig. Shirley's voice is so powerful, and it was good to see that she can cut it live. Spent the later stages of the gig watching from the balcony, so that Joy could see(she's only 5'0"), and watching the crowd got me thinking. Despite most of their songs being good rocking numbers, there was no flapping going on(or moshing as it seems to be more generally known nowadays). Plenty of jumping up and down but no real flapping, as you'd get at a good Bunnymen gig. I've always enjoyed a good flap, especially in my younger days, and most of the bands I have been to see live, have had a flapping element in the crowd. Struck by the abscence at last nights gig, made me wonder why some bands get flapping in the audience, and some don't. Anyone got any ideas? Some bands certainly attract(ed!) more flapping than others. I think the roughest gigs I have ever been to, when it seemed the entire audience was at it, were Theatre of Hate/Spear of Destiny and early Sisters of Mercy, and The Smiths were always pretty rough too. There have been some great Bunnymen gigs for flapping too, and The Chameleons but why do people flap at some gigs, and not others? Answers on a postcard, please. Cheers Martyn PS Shirley really stared into the crowd, making every bloke there think she was staring just at them. Bit sad for them all, really, as it was obvious that she only had eyes for me! : ) Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= New Choices! *seven-seas or seven-seas-moderated Questions? mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Get more from the Web.

Argh! I have absolutely no idea why that post has come three times! Worried I have some wacky virus, now, although I have up-to-date Norton. Cheers Martyn Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? "This will probably get me some stick, but...." No, what will get you some stick is if you keep on sending the same post to the list!
