I met an industrial legend...
and he ate some jelly beans I offered him.


This guy is En Esch, from the band Slick Idiot, and who used to be in KMFDM (who, in case you hadn't heard, are a drug against war). I ran sound for them the other night, and he told me the following story: (i would like to point out that this is paraphrased and should be read aloud in a heavy german accent)

"In 1997 or 98 we were opening for Rammstein in Dusseldorf, you know it? Well, we were on stage and I felt this spirit, like a presence. I felt that it must be the ghost of Bach channeling through me. He had played the same concert hall many years before, but I don't know if I was tripping or what..."

He was pretty cool, even though I hate industrial music, and he alternated drinking from a half gallon of cheap orange juice and bottles of Heineken. Also this band called More Machine Than Man (who, according to their website are cybergoth and electrofetish, whatever that means) opened and amused me with their quasi-pornographic-horror-shock-video sync'd up to the music.
