Subject: [kj] My report from Mexico city

 

It's not that i just arrived, but i was pretty tired these past days (i even
asked for two more days at the office). Besides there were nearly 800
gathering messages waiting for me in this inbox, so you may imagine. I don't
want to hurt anyone's feelings but i just threw to the trash the very most
of them. 

I walked damn too much these past days in NYC and after walking all day,
there were these two fantastic gigs that really blew me away and got me
jumping and dancing almost all the time. I was really happy -to say the
less- to finally see Killing Joke (and even meet the band!) and besides meet
a very nice bunch of gatherers. 

Both nights were excellent for me. I loved the first gig for the songs, and
the second one for the energy and heaviness of the set (even when
Pandemonium is not between my fave KJ albums). 
BIG PAUL IS THE MAN! His drumming is outstanding, i even thought there could
be some drum machine involved, but i had the chance to be at the soundcheck
on sunday 12th and no, happily there was no drum programming at all. He's
just great behind the drums: very energetic and very clean. I hope this guys
stay together for a good number of years. 

I'm not going to go deeper into the songs because it would take me so long
(in time and space). You must understand this was my very first time in a
Killing Joke concert, so everything was new to me. Still i will dare to
mention only one song: 
Turn to Red... holly shit!! i've always liked this track, but was not
between my favorites, buuuuuut the way they played it live was from other
world. AWESOME!!!! 

The words can't describe how happy and excited i was (still, some of you
were able to testify it!). 

I want to thank all of you guys at the NY gathering, i don't want to mention
your names because i'm afraid to miss someone, but you know who you are,
from those of you that were next to me almost all the time at the gigs to
the other gatherers that just approached to introduce yourselves and shake
hands with me. Believe me, it was a high honour and pleasure to meet you
all. I can't imagine how this trip to the gigs would have been without your
very nice company. 

I'm preparing to upload some pics, just give me a couple of days. 

I hope i can join you again in the -not very far- future. 

CHEERS!
