[Trash-talk] Scala

[Shell Bryson]

I think it was very harsh. We mingled with the crowd (not front row) after
the photo shoot and everyone seemed VERY upbeat and happy. Even the people
around the back were dancing and singing along and cheering.

 

There were mistakes, but as usual Shirley handled them gracefully and with a
sense of humour. All in all we thought it was a superb gig, and Garbage are
on top form.

Sorry if my review was a bit harsh, I didnt mean it that way. A lot of
things added up, i was exhausted when i wrote the review. And a few people
agreed with me. The concert was quite good, enjoyable, different,
interesting. I was exhausted and ill, still am, i was angry against all
those fans who did not respect the queue, angry at the crappy organisation,
angry at some people i know (a couple of French people) because they ruined
things... I was surprised that the audience didn't show that much
enthousiasm, and i was not being crushed to the front row barriers, although
it doesnt mean anything, I guess every audience is different, because of the
different cultures, they were really into it but very reserved and quiet. I
was sad and disapointed because QUEER didn't go the way it was supposed to
because the lights were different, we were too close to appreciate it, and
people were taking pictures when they were not supposed to. I was
disapointed and annoyed because! Shirley fucked up so many songs and looked
like she was somewhere else. Also, for the first time i noticed big
competition between G fans especially girls (I guess it's that way
everywhere) and it saddened me a bit. So everytime I really got into the
concert something happened that ruined the moment. So yeah, all those things
added up and made the show not so enjoyable for me...

The Paris concert was AMAZING, a big slap in my face, the oh my god Queer,
my god, and #1 crush... and the audience. It was incredible, perfect, no
mistakes. A perfect concert. Probably one of the best Garbage concerts I've
been to, if not THE BEST.

London Scala... disapointing. Shirley fucked up many times, the audience was
a bit crap (but I was glad to see a lot of people there! And a lot of people
around me were very into it), I was looking around, not even being crushed,
and like "what's going on? where are the cheers, the atmosphere...", Queer
was messed up because fans in the audience took pictures (with flashes)
during the song (when no one was allowed to do so during the first song) so
it completely ruined it, and Shirley seemed to be somewhere else. Her eyes
were so weird (contact lenses?). Queuing organisation was crap too, and many
people just went in front of the others just because their friends were
there (I was so so a! ! ngry). I guess, after the Paris concert, I expected
something as good and efficient in Paris. 

It was great to be so close to them though, I saw a lot of details I'd never
noticed before. 

 

I can't wait for Koln and hearing the three new songs!
