[trash-talk] Forestglade-final European date and spitting attack

[JesslMaul@aol.com]

hi trashers!

A highly memorable concert in garbage history (and I have seen some). I think 
I will ever remember this!!!!
Wiesen in Austria, July 16th, a cool venue, no big open air with a very good 
atmosphere...

First: The band was looking forward to have a week off...so they felt quite 
easy...playing energetic and electrifying. Steve just played his arse off. I 
have never seen him that emotional and being into it. Stevo, our rock god 
forever.
Second: Shirl in the talking mood, sharing experienbce with us talking about 
the different European gigs ending with the quotation that people are all over 
the same and respond in the same way. Hitting on governments and their 
wrongly directed politics.
Third: Shirl sharing childhood rememberings: Starting with a kind of rap 
about equality (I think it started like that) turning to "The Sound of Music" 
performing a capella a small part of the following tune (the part in bold letters)

Artist: Maria and the Captain Lyrics
Song: Something Good Lyrics

[Maria:]
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somwhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth

For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

[Captain:]
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should

[Maria:]
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

[Maria and the Captain:]
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could

[Maria:]
So somewhere in my youth
[Captain:]
Or childhood
[Maria:]
I must have done something . . .
[Maria and the Captain:]
Something good

So far so good, lets turn to 
Fourth: The spitting incident...or have you ever seen a raging Shirl without 
limits. We did.
It happened after ITIP: Shirl finished the track and suddenly turned to the 
audience: Some guy spat on her during the song. She freaked out, litterally. 
Starting with "Me and my crew will come, find you and separate you etc...you 
motherfucking bastard". After tracking the guy following with "Did you fucking 
spat on me, motherfucker?". The guy was thrown out "and may god's love be with 
you, motherfucker! Shirl raging around."Do not ever fucking spit on my own 
fucking stage"...getting more control  saying "I can't tolerate people spitting 
gob on me!".
She was close to tears and in such a rage...she really felt insulted and lost 
control, totally...
To understand: I mean, how awful she must have felt! The rage took around 5 
minutes....with 80% fucking vocabulary:-) Finally, she made her temper 
responsible...lol.
The audience first did not understand what was the rage about...just, as she 
dind't stop. That was really awful: on one hand experiencing such a insulting 
attack and on the other watch Shirl in such a disgusting situation.
To finalize, Shirl calmed down, after some Whisky she asked Duke to play some 
mellow tune. So, they ended up with "Thirteen".
Sadly enough, the good mood the band was in first vanished. But luckily was 
built up later on again.
Ah what a concert...the band played more or less a 90 minutes set. We caught 
them after the concert but they weren't in the mood to sign. Shirl did some 
signing but more or less because she had to.

Here the complete setlist:

For those who understand German turn to the website to FM4, they still play 
highlights from the festival and there is a live stream.
