Fantomas played here before? I know Tomahawk played before, didn't think Fantomas have ever been...Ph3n0m wrote:absolute toss.
Personally I love Fantomas, and really enjoyed them last time they came here, but last night - ugh, seems to me like it was a complete mess
Doors were open late, and we were kept waiting ages until the band came on - and they only played for little over an hour??
Gig of the year - not really
Personally I thought they were amazing, they played about 80-90 minutes, and rocked for the entirity of it, nailed the shít perfectly, which is no easy task! Are you sure you're not thinking of Tomahawk?!

Big fan myself, but seeing as that was my first Fantomas (and Buzz!) experience, I loved it!Ph3n0m wrote:Nope, I am thinking of Fantomas, but I just realised it wasnt in Ireland I saw them
Nah that gig was very, very disappointing last night especially for a fan like me 0 -

Think it was worth it, heightened the suspense, time to get some beer ddown the neck etcPh3n0m wrote:Guess I just got sick of waiting and waiting and waiting and.....(well you get the idea) Think about it, bands play till 11:00 approx here, they never wind up earlier, there was to be no support band, so wasn't expecting anything to happen till 9:15ish, so 9:30 wasn't too bad! 0 -
If you'd heard any of their stuff before you'd know thats what they're like, which is what I'm guessing most people were there for!My name is Mud wrote:it was ****
if you enjoy "experimental" nonsense, then you would have loved it...
I also left 45 mins into it. I was just there to see Bozzio really 0 -

Problem was I had already quaffed a mighty supply of whiskey before the gig and at my age, I grow impatient with the "rock and roll mannerisms" of some bands and yes I would include Fantomas of being guilty of that.
I knew there would be no support, but come on keeping people hanging around in an over-crowded and exceptionally warm venue is just not on - I could barely get to the freaking bar from my cosy little spot
And they didnt finish at 11 - they finished a little after 10:30 - think it was around 10:400 -

Maybe you should have listened to them before you went!Kali wrote:Meh wasn't impressed at all, maybe I was just expecting more than a few shrieks... the only interesting and enjoyable aspect was the playoff between the drummer (who was obviously new to fantomas) and patton... but god the same screaming over and over again with different drums and samples? no thanks...
The drummer was Terry Bozzio, filling in for Dave Lombardo who's touring with Slayer at the moment.0 -
Well ... it certainly was different ... here review i sent my mate back home in England:
Orchestrated Noise Timed To Perfection
Well it was the busiest I've ever seen this small venue that holds around 600.... Surprise, surprise after around 20 minutes there was suddenly room to breath. Apparently about 50 paying customers must not have heard any of Fantomas' releases, and subsequently thought they had stumbled into a live exorcism.
Patton thrashed around the stage from microphone to microphone, conducting his players like a ****ed up Herbert von Karajan. All eyes were on the former Faith No More frontman from start to finish, gazing in amazement and wondering what he will do next.
There wasn't much spiel form Patton, but when it came it was as if it had spilled off the tongue of Martin Luther King or any other 20th century visionary . "**** you, and **** Bono!" After making an initial remark about Bono the crowd started singing "Bono is a wanker, Bono is a wanker" Patton seemed to miss hear this and took it as praise for the U2 Megastar. Something must have clicked a while after and made a swift apology to the somewhat bewildered crowd ... "OK, maybe I shouldn't have said **** you"
After ploughing though a set perhaps not destined for a Saturday morning slot on CD:UK, you come to ask yourself one question. Is Patton taking the piss out of us? Or is he the Beethoven for the 21st Century?0 -

work away ... thought it was great last night, although personally i would have prefered to see FNM, BUngle, or Tomahawk .... it was certainly entertaining though and it meant we got a long overdue dose of Patton 0
