Lou Reed - Berlin
Three Days (Jane’s Addiction '97 documentary)
I don’t even own the DVD, but I just saw this one on YouTube and it is one of the best live recorded shows I’ve ever heard.
W.A.S.P. – The Sting (live at Hollywood Key Club [RIP] 2000)

Even the deadbeat audience doesn’t stop this from being a phenomenal performance.
Key Club RIP?

Haha, i dunno what year that’s from but WASP and Fear Factory are the only shows i’ve ever walked out of. And Russian Circles. WASP was about 7 years ago, i don’t know their stuff anyway, was going with a friend, but ended up not going. Didn’t enjoy it that much, ended up very drunk and walked out probably 2/3 of the way through.
Key Club RIP?
Yeah, the Key Club closed a couple months ago. Was pretty much a staple on the Sunset Strip. (Was Gazzari’s prior, which you may remember from The Decline of Western Civilization Pt II)

Ha! First time I saw Fear Factory, they were so horrible. It was '98 and they were opening for Slayer. Burton was so sloppy drunk he could barely stand/sing. The keyboardist was still rocking a mullet. And I couldn’t stop laughing at Dino and how his guitar sits on his fat belly.

I can’t imagine sitting through an entire Fear Factory set. They’re one of those bands that I’ve just never understood the appeal of. That being said . . . . I think Burton C. Bell is awesome. He took front duty on the Ministry oldies on one of the CULAtour shows (San Diego) and he was way more entertaining and energetic than Al.
I saw him on my way back to my hotel after the show and told him, “Dude, I was planning on heckling the crap out of you, but you were actually really good.” He was really appreciative and humble and we hung out for a while chatting about Ministry, hahaha!
The WASP show I posted is from 2000, so it was some time before Jay’s show. One thing that makes this 2000 show so great is that Chris Holmes is on guitar and is still in great shape. He looks like living death now . . . and I do NOT recommend checking out his most recent solo stuff.
Too bad about the Key Club. I managed to see Possessed there a couple years ago. One of the best metal shows I’ve ever been to.

I think i lasted 3 songs into Fear Factory’s set, it was just a load of clicking drums and downtuned guitars being played by massively fat guys, there were no actual songs, just stop-start bullshit. I fucking hated it. I did like Burton C Bell’s contribution to Ministry though, and he seems a decent guy, but Fear Factory’s enduring success mystifies me. I couldn’t take any more and left my friends to it, walked home cursing myself for wasting the money on the ticket. My friends were like “But Gene Hoglan, what a drummer! The Atomic Clock!”. All the drums in the world don’t make up for a lack of songs, it’s just soulless noise to me i’m afraid.
WASP, i may have enjoyed that if there was anyone else with me, but like i said my friend decided on the day that he wasn’t going, so i endured as much as i could alone. Not knowing any of the songs and not having anyone to turn to and say “Haha, this is fucking terrible” kinda made it hard to enjoy.
I enjoyed Fear Factory when I saw them open for Rob Zombie in the '90s. They were way better than Monster Magnet on the same tour, that’s for damn sure.

A few people have told me how much they hated Monster Magnet live.
