funny anecdotes about anathema live (or not) !

[cedarbreed]

I especialy remember that one :
My first Anathema show ever : April 19th 1996, Paris, Club Dunois ...
the opening act was good i don't remember that swiss band's name ...
Anathema comes on stage with heavy smoke (I think) , keyboards etc ... Vinny is here in front of me representing as the frontman he is he strikes the opening opening chord of Angelica ... and no sound ! the amps dont work ... hahahaha
it took a few secondes to rearange it and vinny passed time handing a bottle of red wine to the audience ( VERY SMALL audience !!! ) , i think Danny was laughing to death ...
After that incident the show was awesome and i knew i had met my favourite band ever ... and Danny if i may tell you this : you inspired me as a guitar player from this day. your solis and your feelling and the way you use feedback and delay are carved in my memory since this very day. no asslicking, not my style ... just being honest... I was young then , 15 , i bought a Gibson cause of you ! gimme back the money

hey time to take my pills and go to bed

When I saw Anathema last year Vincent after some song said: "In the words of King Diamond..." and then cried out like him!!!

In december 2002 @ the biebob - Vosselaar / Belgium, Vinnie saw a laughing guy in the place, he looks to the audience with a zombie face and said:

"YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LAUGH, IT'S A DOOM METAL CONCERT" or something...

Jamie at Huntenpop this year
Er is een nijlpaard los op de camping

Hilarious
but in fact we can tell as much quotes from Mick in half a year as Anathema in 10 years

That Serena chick won our girl too... And she's from Thessaloniki like me... I seeked vengeance form the Kim girl but I was let down...

Me too, don't bother belgian tennis supporters....

 

[Thortyir]

It's the typically tennis-syndrom entitled: FEAR OF WINNING.
Really weird

in Paris at The Locomotive in 99 they played the whole Judgement album and Lee Douglas sang on Parisienne Moonlight but the song ended in a grindcore way with John blasting , Vinny Danny and Lee grunting as hell !!!

 

[sol83]
