it's ok. it'll all be over soon.
when i had the misfortune of seeing them about 10 years ago, it didn't take too long for it to all be over with, though it seemed like an eternity.

Lol you mean the actual concert or the waiting? The concert will be etched in my memory forever, lol, and i shall die a happy gal.

I think he's referring to the concert.
-
Garbage? That night, just go to see Sound of Urchin & Instant Death at the Velvet Lounge instead. You'll spend a lot less on tickets/booze and have a more enjoyable experience.
-
Ignore all the naysayers here on the forum. I am really looking forward to this as well. They put on a great show when they toured with Beautiful Garbage. I like Bleed like Me much better than that record, so I'm looking foward to seeing them on Thursday.
-
Lol fuck no! Are you kidding me? Ive been waiting to see G for 10 years no... they are better then that BS anyways. Im only 17, so i cant get booze anyways. I cant wait :D

when i was seven my favourite song contained the lines.... "why cant i get just one fuck" but probably just cause my mom would yell at me whenever i played it....
-
Saw them in Philly on Saturday night, and they were great! They did quite a few songs from the first two CD's, and maybe five from the new one and one from Beautiful Garbage.
-
when i was seven we were making music with rocks...
-
you lucky, lucky bastard....we didn't even have rocks

Is that like a good 'wet yourself' or a pee?
When I was seven I was Georgie Best running down the wing and scoring the winning goal at Wembley. Come to think of it, I still am!!!!!

Did she at least scrap that Annie Lennox look? Last tour she looked terrible with that bleached short hair.

Yes, thank God. The pictures I've seen of her promoting the new album show her with the longer red hair we are used to. Change is not always a good thing. The short blonde hair was really awful.
-
What time are you guys getting there? It's sold out so i guess its going to be packed! Will that mean it will be difficult to see the band?

Great. She looked bad with that hair, about 10 years older than she is and just "wrong". With the red hair, she had style.

So I got a free ticket for tonight's Garbage show and I went to check it out. INCREDIBLE sound, nice lighting, great performance...mind you I don't own any of their stuff but just from what I could tell (I saw them once before) this seemed like a very good evening. But what the hell was up with the way the show finished?? Was that staged? If so, what a lame-ass way to end what was a really enjoyable evening. If it wasn't staged...then what the fuck happened? If someone can enlighten me I would greatly appreciate it. What puzzles me is that you'd think they would have played "Special", and also for how glowing Shirley Manson was, you'd think a "thank you and good night" would have been said, instead of her getting pushed off the stage. Oh well. At least I didn't drop a dime on the show.
-
Yes, I agree it was a great show until the ending. I don't know, but I don't think it was staged because my friend saw them in NYC the other night, and she said they did one more song in their encore and the show did not end like that. I don't know what happened because otherwise she seemed to be in a good mood.
-
Well, there were a few things that lead me to think it wasn't staged...for one thing, the band looked pretty surprised. Second, it didn't quite seem like the last song was entirely over...the words kept flashing on the screens. Everyone just seemed pretty puzzled. But I am never one to assume anything I guess.
-
Is there some sort of noise ordinance in DC during the weekday? My buddy threw it out that maybe this was the case. I'm pissed!
-
Don't know if it was staged or not. Unfortunately, we couldn't see her when it happened, so I don't know if she actually did anything to provoke being interrupted like that. It looked real to us because when of the guitarists (Duke) tried to intervene the second cop moved to box him out. That, and the way that Butch threw off his headphones and came flying out of his drum kick.
The audience seemed puzzled and stood around for a good long while after the lights came up.
-
No, it wasn't that loud and plus I've seen bands play past midnight on a weeknight. Very, very weird.
-
she pretended to flash the audience...the cops came down on her within seconds. I can't explain how they could have reacted so quickly (I didn't even know they were there!) unless they knew she was going to do something...that leads me to believe it was staged, esp. since she didn't actually show her breasts. I will be really, really pissed at the band if I find out it was some sort of publicity stunt, but in any event I will be pissed at the DC pigs for reacting without using their brains first...it ruined the night.
-
What does she think she's Jim Morrison? Weird. Well, whatever it was, I hope that at future shows they don't pull that stuff. I agree, it really ended things on a crappy note.
-
I'm having a hard time seeing this as staged. It's not really the band's MO. Plus they had only played for about an hour, and still had a solid 20-30 minutes before curfew. So if it is real, damn. I hope nobody did anything stupid at the club after the incident.
Excellent show, though. Always amazed that they can recreate their sound live.
-
I'm going to have to agree with the general sentiment of puzzlement. There was no actual flashing going on. What was the argument for stopping the show? Unreal buffoonery. And the general surprise among everybody involved seems to point to the fact that it wasn't staged.
-
I'm going to say it was staged. What business do the DC police have in a freaking Garbage show? None. It was staged. Plus, they weren't going to play any more songs. On this tour, they've been playing 16 songs and the last song, sex is not the enemy, was song #16.
-
well if that's the case, then it was LAME. At a Morrissey show fans usually rush the stage and he gets dragged off, and I can kind of understand that, but tonight's little bum rush just seemed so ridiculous.
-
Plus, how can you get arrested for flashing.......but you're wearing a bra underneath?
-
I think it was staged, because the flesh colored bra-esque thing was put on for the encore, as you could see her full back earlier in the show and she was not wearing it, plus the police came on so quickly after she "flashed" the audience.
However, there were signs up saying that they would be filming for a music video on the premises, so is it possible that this was part of that?
-
Sorry, but if anyone thought the ending of the Garbage show was real then you are stupid and serve no purpose being alive. Go kill yourself now.
-
Garbage are shit.
-
Considering the last song is going to be their next single...yes it was staged.
-
For those of us all the way in back, it happened so damn fast and we couldn't really see what the hell was going on. So for those with such infinite wisdom, thanks for enlightening the rest of us peons.
-
I can also back-up the filming of a video. I got there an hour or so before doors opened and they had a professional camera man walking back and forth from van to van.
Also I did happen to notice her back during the majority of songs until the encore and realized she added something.
STAGED!!!
-
yeah, I was right on the front rail & totally noticed the flesh colored bra-esque when she came out for the encore. I was a little puzzled at 1st because I was checking her out all nite (she looked amazing!!!) & she definitely didn't have that on before.
I was extremely pissed at the popo at 1st (it made me kinda nauseous that something like that could actually happen, when nothing did happen & to Shirley no less- I felt horrible for her..) but then thought about it & assumed it was staged because they were filming video footage throughout, she did have on the flesh bra just for the encore & I guess they wanted to get 'real' reactions from the audience.
It was frustrating at 1st but then again 'sex is not the enemy' was THE last song on the setlist (16 total), 'enemy' is going to be the next single so I assume that is what they wanted to create- a 'real-life' situation- so it definitely worked because everyone 'was' pissed & frustrated.
I would say don't hate'm for doing that or for not gettin' a 'Thank you, Good Nite' from Shirley- it WAS the last song- there was no more show & obviously it's going to be a part of some future video (who knows, you may end up on it looking perplexed)- afterall, Shirley rocked the house!!! I'm very glad their back..
-
this was a staged event. the "police" were actors and a member of garbage's crew. it was filmed for use in a video.
-
I must say that was the best "sound quality" concert I've been to at the club. I noticed the different speakers, wonder if those are 9:30's or Garbage's. Anyways, they sounded excellant and the quality was just amazing. I was waaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back, way too crowded to even attempt to get close. But still, an excellant show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Did Feline Queer wet herself again at the show?
-
If it was staged for the video - why wouldn't they come out at the end to say goodnight or thanks or this was for the video thanks for playing. The abrupt lame ass ending kinda ruined an otherwise spectacular show.

But no matter what they did or didnt do or say, they will still sell out their next show at the 9:30 Club.
-
The sound was unreal...they brought in their own PA. My only question is how much of the show was live and how much was pre-recorded? The cynic in me can't help but feel it was almost too pristine, but hey, I haven't been to a show that sounded like that in a long time.
-
I can't admit to being a Garbage fan but I was surprised by not only the number of songs I recognized but also by how much I enjoyed the show.
As people have said, the sound was excellent and Shirley seemed to really get into after about the third or fourth song.
However...I kept thinking that Paul Schaeffer has joined her band. Had me chuckling much of the night.

That's pretty funny and true.
-
Any opinions on the Dead 60s?
-
The Dead 60's sucked. The lead singer was a tool. Also, the second guitar player had a facial expression of a tool as he played.
-
Anyone know what the intro song was that was played right before Garbage went on?
-
That was my 4th time seeing Garbage and it was without a doubt the best show I've ever seen them do and one of the better shows I've seen so far this year. Yea, I noticed the new speakers too. Great sound, Shirley was really having a lot of fun tonight, and fantastic song selection. The only song they didn't play I wanted to hear was Special but an otherwise impressive setlist.
The Dead 60s were fucking great. It's officially my new favorite band. Too bad they didn't have any cds to sell at the merch booth. This wasn't a Dead 60s type of crowd but I thought they did a pretty good job of winning a lot of people over. Yea, they wear their Clash influneces liberally on their sleave. But they were damn good at what they do. I love that reggae/ska/dub/punk sound. More cowbells!!! :D

or, if I can get picky here, Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." Great rendition.

My girlfriend said it was one of her favorite Nine Inch Nails songs.

I didn't notice anything obviously pre-recorded. Most of Butch Vig's drum kit is electronic, so he rarely plays a 100 pct "real" drum sound. And he's probably got a trigger pad or two back there to start any synth type bits that Duke or Steve can't play because they're doing guitar. But I'd say the vast majority of what was played was played live. It can be hard to tell though sometimes since everything is so processed, but in a good way.

Does anyone have any pics of the flashing incident?

What curfew?
-
Some of you need to grow a sense of humor. You were there to see a very funny stunt that will probably end up in a video. Heck, maybe YOU'LL be in the video! That's pretty cool.
I thought it was great. Yeah, I was a little disappointed we didn't get to give them a proper ovation to end the show, but they had to make it look real, I guess, to get the proper reaction from the crowd.
I really am surprised that so many people thought that was real.
-
I think it was pretty interesting to hear comments from a buddy of mine who is a professional musician who was at the Garbage show. He commented on the lack of stage monitors and amps and said that pretty much all of the drumming was pre-recorded and Butch just played along with it. I'm sure there's some truth to that, just not sure how much.
-
I can see why peeps would be annoyed with that stunt, they were unwittingly drafted into a music video which they won't get paid for. And if anyone has any lingering doubt, there's no way it could possibly have been real -- I assure you, chix could walk around topless in downtown DC in the middle of the day and you wouldn't be arrested. Even if it's illegal, which I don't believe it is, DC cops aren't going to give up their donut break for something petty like that.

they used in-ear monitors. No amps because everything is run straight to the PA system. The rack units they use for guitar processing, a pair of Line 6 Pod Pros, can mimic different amp sounds. Other artists who use them often run them straight to the house PA. Butch's drums are hooked up to sound processors, which are triggered each time he hits the drum. so the sound of the drums can, and usually does, vary from song to song and doesn't always match a "true" drum sound. But he was most definitely playing. Though I think there were some background synth type sounds that no one in the band played but were triggered by a Butch.
-
I'm pretty sure I did not see any Line 6 Pod's in the rack. If they were, I'm not sure why he would use a Ground Control midi controller to run it instead of of the floorboard for it. I actually picked up the Line 6 Pod XT Live which is the all-in-one unit and it rules!
As for Butch's drums, there was a real acoustic kit there that he was playing. Toms, and all...there were of course some extra trigger pads as well, but that's why you'll notice the shields that were around his toms to help isolate the drums a bit.
There was definitely some backing tracks which included backing vocals (bitch about that if you want to bitch about something pre-recorded.) Nothing wrong with using backing music tracks at all. We do it as well. No way to actually play all the synth lines without X number of people on stage to play. Hit play on the tracks and off you go. We know the timing between tracks, etc. So no need to keeping hitting play after each song as the tracks are already in the setlist order.

I use the Ground Control Pro for my Pod Pro XT, and a couple of other rack units. My guess would be Duke used it to change programs for the synth rack units. But I definitely saw two Pod Pros back there.

this is an old pic, but there definite two Pod Pros (the old one, no the XT) in that rack.
-
I was standing by the bar and couldn't see the "flashing." As a long-time DC resident, I assumed someone handed Shirley a joint, causing the reaction. Its kind of funny that they would pull the police-involved stunt in DC . . . I mean, if it were SF, everyone would be in on the joke. Police in DC? Could be real. My reaction was buzzkill.
In any event it was an awkward end to an otherwise stellar night at the club, and I definitely think the right call would have been to come back and play one more song.
-
there was a review in the post on saturday that said the publicist confirmed it was staged for a music video. just in case there was any last shred of doubt!
