Anaheim House of Blues review 5/23/06 Spoilers

Alright this show went pretty quick. I finally got the bald roadie guy to crack a smile. I had been sheering the ministry roadies at every gig in between set changes. the guy with the blonde hair was cool about it and laughed the bald guy seemed bothered by it but last night he totally cracked a smile finally and even smoke to me. I told him this was the last night he would have to put up with me. He laughed and said good! Also informed me he has 107 more shows to do including Europe and AUSTRALIA I know there is a dude on here always wanting them to play Australia and bald roadie guy confirmed it so there ya go.
So I met Orbasm last night well sorta he was a couple people back from me I had to yell his name a few times and the people around me thought I was nuts! who cares! Nice to sort of meet ya bro you look like your monster picture!
anyway I MET ANNA K holy crap what a nice lady!!! very sweet and down to earth. She actually spoke to me first (she has a very pretty accent). I didn’t even recognize her she looks WAAAAAY different off stage. Of course she’s not dressing all smoking hot off stage. So I was at the merch booth getting the tour shirt with the dates and she says to me "back again hugh? I said “yeah not really looking at her or recognizing who she was. She said you were at the Hollywood shows right. I looked at her and said “yeah” trying to figure out if I had seen her at one of the shows. she said I recognize your clothes you haven’t changed. I said yeah I’m just trying to get noticed. and she said Yeah well it worked!” and at that point I said Hey your Anna right? and she said yes. So I shook her and said very nice to meet you. so I gave her the run down about how this was my last show and I thought she plays very well. and then I left. so I ran back downstairs next to ms grmpysmrf and totally bragged that I had met Anna and she was super nice. so then I wanted to talk to her more cause I couldn’t believe how nice she was so I went back upstairs and she was on the rail smoking a cigarette. and I so I just made mindless chit chat with her. She was very nice and didn’t seem to be bothered by me at all just really freaking nice. so then we talked for about 5 minutes (about laundry of all things and among other things) and then she said well I have to go I need to give this guy and interview (apparently the magazine is called RUIN and it will be out June 5 in hot topic Guitar center and some other place) but I will see you soon so I was way stoked .
so anyway on to the show, pitbull day care: see my other reviews.

Revco takes the stage Phildo is in a noticeably better mood than he had been all previous dates I had seen. which made for a better show. Luc van acker crazy zany guy pumping the crowd up and Josh perfect vocal performance again as well. He recognized me again and actually let me sing on …sexy. He held the mic down for me on the chorus! that part was waay cool!!! so I’m the crappy tone deaf guy that’s in the audience who gets to sing on the mic which always ends up in a bootleg.
BUT here is the kicker tonight
NO ENCORE OF PURPLE HEAD Al got super pissed because as usual for …sexy he called all of the girls on stage but then House of Blues kicked them off AND Al got so freaking pissed he yells out< “house of blues just kicked off all my dancers FUCK HOUSE OF BLUES FUCK THIS PLACE FUCK THE SECURITY FUCK YOU!!!” so I don’t remember them even finishing …sexy because they started the song and they got all the way through all lyrics but then towards the end AL just started singing FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK over josh and then just walked off stage. so there was no encore! they just started breaking down the set. (set list was the same minus purple head they didn’t play)
SEVEN (from Opiate for the masses) the drummer starting throwing out sticks for people and of course I got one so Now I have a pair of sticks (although I gave it to MS grmpysmrf so not really a pair)
One thing that needs to be addressed though is, SEVEN is without a doubt a bad ass drummer. This guy does all of these crazy stick tosses. I don’t mean he just throws the stick in the air I mean he looks like a freakin baton twirler when they throw the baton 40 feet in the air! He does these crazy stick twirls. He’s very entertaining. I’ve never seen a drummer put on a one man show before. mind boggling to watch! I met him after the show and told him he’s bad ass he put his head on mine and after a pause said …thank you man!" he was a little buzzed.
So anyway Ministry came out next Al seemed to be over the Revco fiasco (although after the show, talking to josh, He was NOT and was still SUPER PISSED. he said it was NOT good back stage after that)
Ministry just blistered through their set Tommy victor was funny when he saw me up front again he made this face like "holy shit you AGAIN???"and just kinda shook his head but smiled at me none the less! It wasn’t a bad look more like a look of appreciation if I may be so bold.
So anyway normal routine I held up my please play THE FALL sign and al said something that I couldn’t make out maybe “next time”? I’m not sure. AL was happy with the crows response to the older tunes. He said something to the effect of so ya like the older ones hugh? well guess what! HERE’S A NEW ONE!!!
so then Liz came out and sang khyber pass she’s not so hot anymore she kinda seems really full of herself that has been the vibe she gives off the last 3 shows and each time it becomes more and more apparent. I mean she is still pretty and all but someone I wouldn’t want to hang out with like I would Anna. Anna seems like a normal person as a matter of fact like I wrote before she’s not really that hot off stage but definitely pretty and her attitude elevates her above any kind of physical beauty Liz has or even she has on stage.
so anyway the standard encore ensued and then AL quickly bolted off stage.
I had told Josh I would buy his Stayte CD at Anaheim which I did and I was trying to get him to sign it and it seemed for a while that I wouldn’t cause he was at the meet and greet or whatever that I couldn’t get to cause I didn’t have a pass. BUT when I was talking to SEVEN I had asked him if he was going back to the pass area cause that was where josh was and asked him if he would come out. so Seven’s friend said hey I’m going back there I’ll go grab him so he did and so josh signed his Stayte CD for me and actually had the keyboardist sign too (his name escapes me at the moment and like most autographs it’s impossible to decipher) Clayton I think his name was. I spoke to Anna again after the show and introduced her to ms. grmpysmrf she was very nice again, so ms. grmpysmrf had her sign our ticket as well as seven and sin. SO over all even though Revco scrapped Purple head this was by far my most favorite show. Just a good time I met Raven as well he seems to big and Ogerish on stage but off stage he’s actually not the big or dirty looking when ever I had seem him interact with anybody while he was on stage he was yelling at someone or telling them to fuck off or whatever so that kinda added to the stand offish-ness of this guy but I figured what the hell and went up to him after the show and he was very polite and not so big and ogerish. I asked him for a pick as well but he gave me 3 but the they were Tommy Victor’s pick and the black Jim Dunlops that Anna uses. I actually asked Anna about that and she said that she did have picks with her name on it BUT they came as MINISTRY picks not Revco picks and because she is not in ministry she doesn’t want to hand them out or use them. and Raven said he just uses Tommy victors picks. anyway that pretty much it. It was great going to these shows and I will probably go see Hanzyl und gretyl when they tour in October I’m not familiar with their music but I will become so before then. I’ll definitely go see josh when he tours with his band. Abandon in the amber is not bad! I think the best way I can describe it is if Most of the songs on Darkside of the spoon were Poppy. I don’t know. I do know that I do know I dig what I hear. it will surely make it into normal rotation.

Also informed me he has 107 more shows to do including Europe and AUSTRALIA I know there is a dude on here always wanting them to play Australia and bald roadie guy confirmed it so there ya go.

That’s me, thanx for the info! I’m a happy camper [:)]
Thanks for the reviews too, sounds like you had a blast, and got some good swag! Did the roadie mention RevCo at all? Probably just be ministry coming down… never know!

I’ve never seen such enthusiasm for drumstick twirling. This really must be a sight to behold.

Haha yeah dude, I heard you yell “ORBASM!!” three times, before i was like “whoa someone recognizes me as orbasm, score! oh shit, thats freaking grmpysmrf!” i had a bit of a green session before i went so yeah, was almost postive i was just hearing things, haha. nice to finally act and scream like a lunatic with a fellow pronger, and you were kicking some ass in the circle pits, kudos, lol. was actually going to go in full jourgensen mode with cowboy hat and black circle glasses, but had to run errands (chop down some cacti, drive friends places, rock the ganja, clean room, etc…) right before the show.

revolting cocks were freaking quacktastic. josh (or gaydolf hitler, as he so elequently put it) was freaking awesome indeed. the second he came onstage and started doing that weird march/walk thing from the NWO sphinctour backing tape, i knew he was going to kickass. was quite a crazy little man (haha “you guys wanna see my penis? you sure? here ya go… its reeallly biig… pulls out towel I STUFF MY CROTCH!”) and reminded me of a cross between charlie chaplin, hitler, and dr.vannecut from house on haunted hill in a very good way, lol. great stage presence from all of them, drummer was kickass, luc was exciting & crazy in the best way possible (loved all the weird hats and masks he kept putting on), phildo rocked BSQ very nicely, anna was hot & played some phat sounding bass, the guitarist was doing pretty good, and totally made eye contact with an also pretty active Mr.J himself a bunch of times (probably cos i was screaming all the lyrics at them like 90 percent of the time, but thankfully he was digging it and wasnt gravely annoyed by the enthusiam lol). also was a plus that they didnt play prunetang, its a cute little song but thats just pushing the sillyness factor (even though they mightve made it work for me that night cos they ruled the entire time.)

ministry was freaking intense the whole way right from the start. minus khyber pass (which, according to the crowd, went on a little too long, even though i dug its weirdness and liz’s wacky screams/wails/vocals, seemed like the crowd was getting a little restless). not as many older songs as id like and they played lots of HOTM stuff, BUT they played GOOD houses material (waiting, no w, wrong). the backgound screens were awesome, much props to whoever set that up, lots of psychadelic imagery and clips of funky coloured versions of previous music videos. aside from falling & eating it in the circle pit and being almost deaf now (ive heard many people say that ministry is one of the loudest live bands, and they are definitely right. loudest… concert… EVER. i went to ozzfest 2004 too, with freaking slayer and judas and whatnot, just pale in comparison to ministry) it was quite a spectacular event.

great show, much thanks to everyone who setup and attended the show, met some rad peoples. oh and grmpysmrf, do you know who was smoking weed during ministry? some people were having ciggarettes but me and some other dude totally smelled pot smoke coming from somewhere, we were jealous, lol. also, did you see that dude that kinda looked like ogre among the audience, they totally looked like slacklove from these message boards. oh yeah, i totally saw a porn star at the show! some of youz may not be into the whole mrs.robinson/teacher/milf scene, but shes all up in it (http://myfirstsexteacher.littlemidgets.com/nichol/index.html), and i was quite bashful to say the least, cos well… how many times to you get to meet the lady youve masturbated many times to? i didnt talk to her for fear of embarassing her or upsetting the guyfriend she was with but it was nice to get to see her in person and i did make pleasant eye contact with her. anywhooo, now that ive creeped everyone out, hope everyone else got and/or will get to have a great concert experience this tour!

DUDE this lady was at several of the shows dressed up like a cheer leader she was all jumping around and shit on stage with revco. she actually said hello to me before the show I was watching the sound check and I think she recognized me from the other shows cause of the hockey jersey! I had no idea she was a porno chick. HAHAHA how funny. I don’t want to make this too horribly awkward but you spank to that?? that must one be one hell of a fantasy! can’t say I see the appeal physically! LOL

he didn’t say but I assume it will be both bands at least he told me this before revco hit the stage so i have no reason to assume that it won’t be both bands. especially since the tour is being billed as MINISTRY AND REVOLTING COCKS. musically if your lucky pit bull day care won’t show up BUT for a comedy opener if your lucky pitbull day care will show up! “hit yourself again!” lead singer hit himself 16 times in the first song alone! (I lost the bet I guessed 9)

lol nice dude! i wouldve love to see her cheerleader styley with the cox. she seemed kind of down er tired er something at the show so that was another reason i didnt really want to bug such a giving person. haha yeah i know im a sick bitch, but dont worry i do have a somewhat normal sexual side too, shes not the only chick i jerk it to: www.abbywinters.com & www.suicidegirls.com & www.atkgirls.com & of course www.rubberdollies.com

do you know that chicks name? also if you search for gianna michaels online somewhere, she is probably my favorite porn star ever.

Wait…so this porn star is a midget?

I can’t really follow the link right now because I’m at work…

Just cause we’re talking about porn stars, i found out recently that my first girlfriend when i was like 16 now goes by the name Katrina Kraven (www.katrinakraven.com not work safe!). Granted this was high school and a good 10 years before she started doing porn, but i still feel special.

OK, here’s an opportunity, because I’ve never met someone who actually dated a pre-porn star before. Now, I’ve seen Katrina Kraven do some fucked up stuff, so I’ve gotta ask - was she a basket case at 16? Any indication she’d wind up in the porno world?
Sorry to pry, but I’m just fascinated in the events that lead up to someone taking that path.

Well we grew up in a town of about 5000 people and if i had to have guessed who in that town would have ended up doing porn, she would have been on my top 3. She was basically an average italian girl who was huge into nirvana, pearl jam, and the whole grunge scene as it was huge then. she started doing the green hair and piercings around that time. This is around 94. back then there were plenty of local girls who slept around more than her (i was # 2 on her now extended list) but she was a bit kinky for sure and liked to experiment with a group of “bi” girls in our circle. that was the “cool” thing to do then. overall though i wouldn’t say she was much more of a basket case than any 16 year old girl. and although she did some stuff that she does now in her vids, she wasn’t that crazy hehe.

lol i had a feeling this would turn into a porn thread. ha no shes not a midget, despite what the link says for some weird reason. shes a little mature, if you will, may not totally dig her unless your into friends’ hot moms and teachers, i think she rocks though.

wow, ex-girlfriend turned pornstar, eh? At least you arent her 37th (cough clerks reference couugh).

i wanna go to one of those porn conventions they have annually in las vegas. my dad got stuff signed by few hotties when he went.

oh yeah and to kind of get back into ministry/revco shiz, how was the nudity this tour? freaking house of blues in anaheim sucks balls cos of the whole “its in disneyland so nothing above PG rating” shit. i was equally (well maybe not AS much) pissed off as Al when all those chicks were taken offstage by security during Do Ya Think Im Sexy?, i mean come on, its the revolting COCKS, not the revolting expletive deleteds, for pete’s sake, what do they expect?

oh yeah and to kind of get back into ministry/revco shiz, how was the nudity this tour?

Except for vegas and then the two girls on the balcony at anaheim there has been NONE! the two girls in anaheim on the blacony willingly flashed AL one with really nice roundies with pierced nipples and the girl next to her had some end of a nerf football shaped ones! The Nudity in vegas was very “un called for?” none of the girls were really willing as I had written (see the vegas house of blues review) they were just molested by the lesbian chick! that’s it for boobs. no nakedness at all at the hollywood show no crowd boobs no stage boobs :frowning:
