OK, if we were at like Stormfront presents Hate Aid, I could see it, but two concerts I’ve been to recently featured at least one sieg heiler.
Nile: Seriously. OK, they do have a song about slaughtering a neighboring tribe, but they also glorify pagan gods and their bassist/singer/de facto frontman is Mexican you fucking retard. So stop seig heiling already. Ah well, your pimply shirtless ass got beat up in the pit by una chica latina. Y una chica pequena tambien! Jagoff.
Laibach: Uh. Their fascist trappings are a parody/shock device. It’s pretty obvious. And their songs about how much they hate fascists should also tip you off. So sieg heiling and throwing up the white power “W” (or at least that’s what I assumed it was. Maybe he was from Lawndale and he was showing everyone how proud he was of his west side heritage). What really threw me was you clearly screaming, “all gay, all white!” WTF does that mean?
So seriously, I can’t be the only one who notices this. I presume that dumbass decides that he’s got something to prove, gets blitzed and tries to make a spectacle of himself so people will kick the crap out of him and fuel his narcissism/self-loathing/self-righteousness/jagoffocity, but people generally just ignore them (even when they try picking fights, exception of course goes to the Nile concert).
Also, what’s with the “all gay, all white” comment? Is there some sort of Gay Nazi movement? He screamed it about two thousand times and I very clearly heard that specific phrase.
Dancing kitties! Loved the song - it took me waaaay back to when I listened to cool German chant/beat bands like Nitzer Ebb (circa 1988), but then I got sad that music just passed my sorry ass up and kept on going and the music’s still great but now I’m 32 and uncool…
As for seig heiling, is this a common concert thing these days? Or was it a few idiots who thought they were being cool? How big is the neo-Nazi thing these days, anyway?
To make the story stranger, he tried to pick a fight with me because I was “breathing down his ass.” Despite the fact that I was easily a foot taller than he was…
Went to the second Laibach show and *paneboze * did it fucking rock. No sieg heilers this time. You can safely miss Bonfire Madigan though (it’s much better the second time around IMO).
Do a little digging [into industrial music history] and when you get to KMFDM and Laibach, you’ll want to sell your Rammstein CDs.
I know what you mean Chairman Pow. I’ve seen it at quite a few concerts and at clubs as well sometimes when something in German is played. It seems some fucking idiots think that any band that sings in German is nazi.
If these morons would listen to the lyrics they would understand that it’s not about politics at all and especially not anywhere near endorsing that evil ideology. Take Rammstein for example their songs are mostly about sex.
I’ve seen those types at Rammstein, Kratwerk and And One concerts for example. Usually the sieg hailers are booed at or confronted by more intelligent concert goers (meaning anyone with more than one functioning brain cell).
Just a little nitpick. Nitzer Ebb are/were not German. Douglas Mccarthy and Bon Harris are Brits AFAIK.
