Well, I also hate how the government treats gay people here (declaring marriage as a man/woman relation in our constitution etc), but I'm almost sure that "ban" has nothing to do with gay people or his comments against the regime.
A38 indeed have some connection to the state but I don't think anybody would be banned from there for such reasons.
I saw New Model Army just a few years back there, I remember Justin Sullivan made some comments ("f**k them!") against Orban and that gig was filmed and aired in the State TV, maybe they edited out that comment, but that's all. Nobody cared, NMA will play again at the ship next year...

I believe the "ban" must be related to their last terrible gig on the ship.
First of all, I'm an old fan, saw all of their Hungarian gigs in the last 30+ yrs and a couple of shows in neighbour countries but the last A38 one was def the worst of all. Sound was really bad, they had to interrupt the gig after the first song as Von was entirely inaudible (no, not just the usual mumble thingy). They sorted it out (more or less) but I saw lots of people leaving the venue. I wasn't so disappointed as I saw them several times and knew what to expect (very low volume etc) but my wife who came with me was also very upset. I saw hundreds of raging "give my money back" online comments after the gig and eventually the venue had to release an announcement (they said that they had no responsibility for the bad sound etc). So I remember I thought it would have been the last Sisters gig at the ship and it seems I was right. So I think A38 just don't want this to happen again...

We don’t decide on a set-list till about an hour before showtime. We intend to play three new songs every night. Different ones too... they’re going to get different new songs every night.

And we will be playing more new songs at the Roundhouse. Sisters songs generally fit into into three categories – moody, atmospheric, expansive numbers like Neverland or Something Fast; mid-paced rock numbers like Lucretia; and then the gung-ho punk numbers like Vision Thing. The new tracks fall into each of those categories.

So they undoubtedly had a plan to play completely new songs. Something (preferably) or someone (sadly more likely tbh) put an end to the plan.

Better Reptile RIP?

That's interesting, haven't read/seen that!

Well I shouldn't be blaming Andrew before the reason is clarified, I don't really get why even he would so clearly declare something just a few days/weeks before and then wilfully disappoint (not comparable to Trump elected/new album before someone mentions that).


@both: About Better Reptile, wasn't that one scrapped already before the cut-off 2020 tour?

@Todashi interesting thought...but that's a simple reasoning they must have understood/considered already when the interviews took place, and more importantly - to me they have now lost momentum, not kept it up. But I so wish that you are right and we will see lots of new songs in spring. Sadly I remain very sceptical, though.

eastmidswhizzkid wrote: ↑13 Sep 2021, 15:22 NOBODY i spoke to after any of the gigs was in the least bit surprised at the lack of 'new new new' songs... almost as if we never really expected it to be true. come on, most of us have been at this almost as long as Andrew! certainly the hardcore following have been members of this relationship far longer than Ben! and whatever disappointment there was it was nothing to the universal joy of what an utterly fabulous occasion this .as for ALL who attended, including the visually obvious enjoyment of Mr. Eldritch.
