haha, i know where you're coming from...
i saw him at subcurrent. an hour and a half of drone. first half hour was okay and then it was like... okay... we get it...

then wolf eyes played after him and after their set finished, everyone was yelling for an encore and I shouted
"come on, we hadda sit thru fucking tony conrad!"
i'm sure i saw john olsen smirk

I would rep you, but, well, you know...

it's okay, i understand

Nope. I saw him in Newcastle last year doing the four-hour monster show, which was the best show I've ever seen. I contend that there is no-one else in the world who could play for that length of time and still merit an encore. I also saw the two London shows this year, which were also awesome, but not quite as monolithic. If I had a criticism of the London shows, it would be that they were too short, which is the best kind of criticism methinks.

I'm quite enjoying this live show, I'm about 20 minutes in. Conrad's starting to come to the forefront a bit more. To be fair though, it could quite easily be Haino with his loops... it's very much Haino's gig so far. Then again, he played with one of the most dominating drummers playing at the moment (Corsano) and left him for dead. He's just phenomenal this man. In ancient times they'd start religions for him.

there were moments when Conrad seemed a bit unsure of what to do... at least that's how it seemed... Haino was very much at the forefront throughout...
