I also wonder how much retooling/preproduction is involved to perform new/different songs?
It’s simply not a matter of relearning the parts/lyrics. There’s a lot more that goes into it when the band is so heavily reliant on samples.
It must seem pretty tempting to just bust out the old stuff when all you basically have to do is mime along.
There any new/noteworthy merch at the shows?

The fact that nobody has written about the merch ought to be a clue… just kidding
but yeah nothing worth noting. I think he had 2 men’s shirts 2 women’s shirts (one with a fake corset attached to it which Prototype’s woman assured me was cute and my wife agreed when I brought it home. )a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie. Although they were out of 2X hoodie.
The graphics are pretty uninspiring. Al sitting in the oil drum instead of bush from the rio grande album and pretty much just the logos.
shirts run from 30 to 35 Dollars Hoodie is $60 long sleeve is $45.
Also, he selling a metal M logo on a necklace fro 15 bucks and I think a bandanna . and Oh yes almost forgot the beer cozy. Meant to take picture of the stand but forgot.

Word homey.
Wonder what ministry’s gonna play on their ResurrecTOUR in a few years. Less hits and more new SHIT. Seriously, maybe he plays the more recent stuff because it’s from his label? If they albums sell, it goes straight to him, right? Dunno… Guess I’m just waiting for that kitchen sink that was supposed to be in Relapse. “Everything” and the toilet’s what we got.

This sums up the current fanbase quite well.

Heard on UHB that Al’s vox were pre-recorded.
What’s UHB?
Ultra Heavy Beat, the KMFDM fan forum.
^
Seriously?
That’s quite possibly the most retarded forum name I’ve ever heard in my life.
Proto’s girl was really cool, by the way. I don’t even remember why the topic came up (I think maybe she’d warned me that my behaviour might get me punched) but I told her if she wanted to punch me in the face she could. She says “Okay”, as I presented my money maker to her. Then she balled up a fist and POW! wallopped me a nice one right on the side of my face. I was properly impressed and said, of course, “That was AWESOME!” Proto, as I recall, just stared in horror and wondered if meeting people from the internet was such a great idea.

Yes. It’s a recurring phrase used to describe KMFDM in several of their songs (D.I.Y., Risen, Intro, Superpower).

Too funny. I’m not sure how much gin and tonics she had consumed at that point, I just couldn’t believe she actually did it. Haha, good times.
On the vocals. He definitely backtracks some of the choruses while singing over them. Backtrack was turned up too high so you could barely hear him sometimes.
I noticed Al singing over pre-recorded vocals on the tour rehearsal videos.
You can see he actually misses his cue and comes in late on the beginning of “Worthless”.
Granted, it’s a promo vid for the tour and it’s a rehearsal. Devil’s advocate could argue why over exert during practice. But it totally crossed my mind.
Especially when I listen to my bootlegs from the 2003 tour.

She didn’t belt him once BUT TWICE!!! both times it wasn’t a little girly hit either you could hear the thud!!
What started it was Gunnar says to me, he says, "grmpy, I am surprised I haven’t been punched in the face yet for all the shit I’ve been talking.
So, I says to him, I says, “Gunnar, it can’t be that bad. you’re still here with no bruises.”
Skip too a few minutes later, Gunnar is talking about how he’s a charmer and can do anything (or something along those lines). So, I pointed out a very hefty girl (were talking the kinda pounds Voidhead likes) and told him to pull her tube top down.
So, gunnar says to me, he says “grmpy, I’m not an asshole.”
So, I says to Gunnar, Gunnar I says, " yeah but (and I switched his words on him) you said you wanted to get punched in the face, that will do it, and then we’ll all be happy, we’ll all see some tits and you’ll get punched in the face just like you wanted…
Enter Proto’s lady friend!! She offered to Belt Gunnar in the face and Gunnar readily accepted. so she did it. I think both were shocked that it happened so he let her hit him one more time for the sake of reality. So, she popped him again.
HAHA I had forgotten about that.

Yeah, it was a great night filled with many tales of adventure and heroism which I can’t fully recall. Someone will say something or I’ll see a photo and it will make me remember something else. Or I’ll reach into my pocket and pull out a business card for “Nikki Napalm”, haha!

That’s because KMFDM lyrics are quite possibly the most retarded lyrics I’ve ever heard in my life.
“KMFDM, let’s say it again, KMFDM, it will never end…”
