what the heck is going on with the vocals?
I think it’s called alcoholism.
lol
That was wretched…
Love this forum, Groovie posted that clip on his fb page and everyone was eating it up, I was cringing. Even though they played the intro scream via tape his actual scream with it sounded more on point than the actual singing…usually the other way around
Haven’t really felt like mentioning it, but I caught the mini Inferno Xpress tour back in September and I can honestly say I caught them on a bad day. Very strange how a band can do the best show I’ve ever attended in 20+ years of going to concerts and pretty much suck the next time they come around just 2 months later. I guess since the Spooky Tricks tour ended, Groovie broke up with his boyfriend and was all over my roommate who filmed the show and pretty much every bay area show since 1995. I was supposed to hang out with the band too, but I had to escort my cute lady friend back to my house in Oakland where she was parked. So I lost out on hanging with one of my favorite bands, but it worked out since they all went to a packed gay bar and I was pretty much done with big crowds at that point, not to mention I didn’t wanna watch Groovie being a drunken mess.
And then a funny little side note that Groovie wanted to take my roommate back to the hotel, but Mimi freaked out and put the kibosh on that since her and Groovie were sharing a room.
what’s the old saying? nothing sadder than an old queen
Another funny detail was fucking them up during “The Days Of Swine & Roses.” They switched around the part where they do the “CHRISTIAN, ZOMBIE, VAMPIRE,” placing it after the first verse after the second, which confused me a bit. When the second verse ended, my drunk ass right at the front of the stage yells “CHRISTIAN, ZOMBIE, VAMPIRE,” and Groovie responded with an awkward “I am the father, the father of nothing.” I think Buzz also yelled something like “Yay, outside samples!” They also cut their encore short (I could see the setlist from where Mimi was standing), closing with “Blue Buddha,” and cutting out older tunes like “X-Communication” and “The Devil Does Drugs.” I hate to add them to the list of bands that are pretty much stale after seeing them more than twice, but this was still a better show than say Marilyn Manson and NIN, whose shows left such a bad taste in my mouth the last time I saw them that I’ve never cared to see either again. I’m sure I’ll catch TKK at least one more time since every set list has been pretty different all 3 times I’ve seen them.
Truth be told I’d love to see a TKK show but I’ve heard more bad reviews than good over the past ten years
AIDS.

If there wasn’t confirmation from other folks here that Mr. Nardiello was indeed hitting the liquor hard, I’d just assume that he’s going into some kind of ‘character’ voice…bands seem to do these little things to prevent themselves from being savagely bored after playing a song for the 9,000th time.
I realize now I haven’t seen a TKK show since Charles Levi stopped doing bass duties. Though few people I talked to in Chicago ever had a good word to say about the guy, I think his playing style fit the band much better than what the newer lady is doing.

Buzz is definitely carrying the load more and more each time. The Inferno show was ridiculous at how loud his mic was. As for the bass duties, Levi may be better on a technical level, but I’d rather watch an adorable Japanese girl who does good than a big black dude any day, no matter how good he is. I too have heard Levi was an asshole and I know someone on here has shared a story of meeting him before and saying that he smelled like doo doo.
Dude, he smelled like pure unadulterated boiling feces. Couldn’t get within ten feet of him. At Guitar Center.

Guitar Center? That explains everything! He probably intentionally made himself smell that way in order to repel the army of clingy sales-dudes looking for a commission.
Of course that’s not exclusively a G.C. problem; seems like every time I’ve set foot in a similar store (Sam Ash etc.) I’m immediately assaulted by a jittery and deafening fellow saying something to the effect of “HEY MAN HOW’S IT GOIN!!! CAN I GET YA SOME PATCH CABLES TO HELP YOU ROOOOOOOOCCKKKK OUT!!!”

HAHA!!!
I hate that. I suck at playing and just try to find some corner in the back to hide in and strum the strings once or twice to feel out an instrument. I’m clumsily twangin’ out some Sabbath chords and Dimwit McLonghair descends like a vulture. “Let’s get you plugged in there, Man! Here, give it a try!” [Embarrassed I play the same clumsy chords and feel like a lame ass] “NICE!!! Feels good, right! Just crunch down on that, Man! It’s got a Floyd Rose Floating Humbucker Tremolo and you can just let that shit rip!”
“Uhhh, yeah, it’s nice. Thanks. Uhhh, where are your tab books?”
Haha gunnar your GC employee voice reminds me of this guy:
Must be nice. There are no sales reps in sight when I go in. I have to track those fuckers down.
