bootlegging with mini-disc players

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

FOH = "Front Of House"?
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

i'ld have to agree 100% ...it's a rare enough treat as it is.
there was a german guy stood next to me at NMA last month with a minidsc. i chatted to him a bit before and as they came on i was politely asked to not speak during the gig or bang into him. i just nodded politely: WE WERE THREE ROWS FROM THE FUCKIN' STAGE!!! :eek: :eek: :roll: ....i didn't see him again. :lol:
Well I was handsome and I was strong

There's nothing like the frontrow! :D :notworthy:

If I'm recording it's either in the frontrow, where I can behave like the proper barrier monkey I am and hold onto the barrier for dear life, or it's at the back around where the mixing desk is (only if it isn't The Sisters playing), as no recording survives the moshpit, which starts directly behind the frontrow. As to chatting nicely to people asking them to be quiet - I've given up. They either forget, don't care or - as has happened to other people - decide to ruin your recording on purpose. Usually I'm with good friends and it's at least the three of us in the frontrow, so if I have a nutter directly behind me and having my shoulder between his/her ugly voice and my mic isn't enough, I swap places with one of said friends :notworthy: until the screeching, shouting, hissing, humming, whatever subsides. Or, and this is even better, the lovely ladies (you know who you are! :notworthy: ) are with us and any - especially female - nutter will be elbowed into ablivion and away from us within seconds. :twisted:

Well, if I would have been aware you were recording in Lokeren I wouldn't have shouted along like my life depended on it :oops: Hope I did not ruin it and I'll remember it for the next time :wink:

Er.... I haven't considered you a nutter, but if you say so... :roll: :lol: No, honestly, people I know have never been the problem, It's those you don't know, those who shout "MOTHERFUCKER" during the whole gig (male, Leipzig 03) or "ANDIE, ANDIE...." (female, Vienna 05) that are a pain in the arse. People I know, like HLers and Dominion people - wether loud or quiet - are part of the party and part of the fun. :notworthy: :D

Alright, thanks :lol: Don't know if I'm entirely sane, really :lol:

I can't stand people shouting the same thing throughout an entire gig too, get a dictionary for f**k's sake!

And I excused myself right after the Lokeren gig when I saw you turning your MD off already anyway :innocent:

As far as I can remember there was no reason for excuses.... (if you continue like that everybody will keep half a mile distance to me at the next gig and that's not the intention (unless they're between me and the frontrow, but that's not going to happen)... :lol:
