[Trash-talk] Scala

Sat Apr 2 06:06:55 PST 2005

Yeah, that is why i changed my review and changed it, because my words were not the ones I meant to use in the first review (was trying to translate how I felt), as explained in second email. I didn't say the audience was not upbeat, singing or cheering or happy either. (same in all London shows anyway, doesnt make them bad concert or bad audience, great things!!!) It was just completey different to the previous concert so it was strange, but it didn't make it less good. As I said, a lot of things added up that didn't make the concert as enjoyable as it could have been to me. I expected too much from it so I should lower my expectations and live every Garbage concert as if it were my first and last. :) Hope this clears any misunderstanding!

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!
