Them Crooked Vulture Roll Call

"You gotta count it fucking right Dave !!!!"

"ONE TWO THREE FOUR !!!!"

I'm not going to shit right for a week after that concert...

My hearing is still fucked.

To add to the gear notes, aside from Dave's drumkit which i could go on about. Both Alain and Josh were playing Motor Ave BelaAire guitars. In wellington there were two Fender amps, looking a lot like Twins to me. The Bad Cat I think was for JPJ? The funny little amp looked like it had a Hofner badge on it from where I was standing. Also Alain had a Hofner bass in Wellington.

So fucking sweet.

Ah yes, the Bel-Aires. I forgot about those. And it was indeed a Hofner, not a Maton or Italia. I was guessing on the basis of the fruity styling and headstock shape.

Oops, cancel that too. Looks like the fruity bass was a Airline. Check out the authoritative gear list article here:

Those are indeed all the things we saw on Friday/Saturday (although I don't remember seeing the steel guitar).

You can be a white knight if you want, but seriously, what did she expect me to do?

Maybe exercise some self control, turn around and ask them to stop?

Yeah right, I'm gonna turn around in a jam packed mosh pot and kindly ask her to stop (like she would hear?) and most likely catch one in the face instead of the back of the head. Nah, i think I got my point across more effectively. I'm not a fan of getting fucked up in mosh pots, and if she'd have pushed me over (i'm not the biggest guy) I would've got fucked up

I'm not really bragging about it foal haha it was just a pretty integral part of my TCV experience, I thought it'd make for some LOL forum activity though, seeing as there'd obviously be pretty hugely differing views about it. Some of you guys are making it seem like it was unprovoked and that I actually thought it was a female Needless to say, alc coupled with thousands of people really close together = something like this bound to happen. And yeah, moving wasn't really an option.. I was packed in somewhere near the front and didn't want to leave the two girls I was with to the mercys of the mosh

Anyways, anyone remember Josh Hommes dance during Interlude with Ludes? that was epic

[Polar Bear]

I remember his dance. I also remember him quite clearly pointing at someone near the front and saying "Stop it". Was that when you were punching the chick in the face, out of interest?

On a slightly related note, always seemed a massive waste of money getting well pissed or wasted before a big gig. The number of people I saw getting dragged out of the pit by their buddies, soaked in sweat, obviously peaking way too early, was numerous.

[El Chris]

lol nah he wasn't talking to me, pretty much no one saw me otherwise i'm sure i would've either got kicked out and or beaten up by some white knights. And yeah, I'm definitely not getting that cut again, totally takes away from the concert

2nd Consolidated Album has an interesting discussion on Mosh-Pit Etiquette.
it is not called the Sexual Politics of Meat

When I was outside before the show some young munter came over to chat, followed shortly thereafter by a security guard to tell him that he should sober up before coming back in. Kid had puked inside the venue during the opening act.
