Yup, less than 24 hours after coming back from London after seeing Rammstein we went back to see Lacuna Coil’s head-lining performance at the O2 Empire. See understandably we were a bit knackered for the performance. We have now decided that next time two bands we want to see are playing one night after the other we’re going to pick one or the other!
As I’ve yet to explain fully the Rammstein show was friggin’ awesome and had a number of memorable parts! One of which is shown during the video above. When performing their song Pussy (it’s about sex, go figure!) there’s a point where Till mounts a cannon, which looks like a penis. He then proceeds to ride it along the stage while it shoots foam everywhere (guess what that’s meant to signify!) spraying the front of the crowd.
Check out this video as this guy was within range of the foam!
Yup, I’m heading back up to London just over 12 hours after coming back from there* to go and see Lacuna Coil perform at the Shepherds Bush Empire. It should be good, except for the part where Dirty Little Rabbits are on. They were supposed to be the support back in July but dropped out, we throught we had dodged a bullet but alas the bullet has made a 180 degree turn and is on it’s way back!
*Yes, we’d originally planned on staying the night but it turned into a pain in the ass to find a nice hotel.
I got back from the Rammstein show around three hours ago and I must say it was a friggin’ awesome show. At the moment I’m too tired to explain what I liked about the show so I’ll update you later on today in another entry.
In the meantime here’s some of my favourite pics from what I took. Pretty good going considering how difficult it was to get a good shot due to the light displays, pyrotechnics, tremors in my hands and especially how far back we were!
Download 2009 was the first time I’d ever since any bands perform live and Lacuna Coil were one of the main highlights of the weekend for me, which meant it was time to look out for more performances from them in this country. Fortunately after a few weeks it was announced that they were playing a few venues over a few days so we snapped up some tickets quickly for their performance in Camden.
