[kj] OT: Loud Shows

[Christof hamille]

Motörhead is obvious.  Haven't seen them enough and my ears are always 
shaking out of my skull for the next two days.
But surprisingly....
Skinny Puppy - Latin Quarter - Too Dark Park tour
Alien Sex Fiend - I think it was 88 at St. Andrew's Hall
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - firs US tour
Cocteau Twins - first US Tour

No surprise
Manowar
Slayer
The Melvins (in a teeny tiny place)
The Swans

And for good, gloating, measure the band I was in many moons ago have given 
noise level tickets on three different occasions

rock 'n' roll baby

HELLO CLEVELAND!!

Chris
