По поводу концерта "лошадок". Вот что пишет ЭрикВот что пишет Эрик (клавишник).
I don't usually like metal jokes as a genre but that one is pretty unstoppable. I mean you have to say it like arnold and it helps if you're in a metal band onstage at a show. Fucking Ukraine and Belarus. Non-stop techno party. In the store, at the street food carts, at church. At the airport in totalitarian Belarus with these dominatrix customs bitches in olive green army miniskirts they were playing Terminator theme techno remix. I'm sad we're leaving I had like 72 hours of euphoria.
We flew into Minsk on this antique plane. It was like a salvaged WW2 cargo propellor plane. Total Indiana Jones style. Boxy, shiny metal with Belavia Airlines painted on the side and some seats bolted to the floor. The interior hadn't changed since like 1958. I can't even begin to describe it to you, it was just awesome and it took 15 minutes to warm up the propellors. The thing was so loud and started to smell like burning brakes half way through the flight. I also didn't know you could fly 40 miles per hour. When it took off I think I could have run faster than it was going. Anyway no big deal.
We were the first American band to play in Belarus since Cannibal Corpse 5 years ago. The show was huge and ridiculous. Everything lately has been huge and ridiculous. It doesn't "make sense" to play here. Rush visas for our whole group cost the promoter $2000, plus $2000 for plane tickets, and we got 400 euros and played to 600 people. Pretty much everyone just breaks even. No band plays to 600 people for 400 euros. But it's soooo fun. Just being in Belarus. The first American band since Cannibal Corpse. Hahahah fuck yeah.
This soviet shit around here is the best. I saw a slide at a playground and the slide part was made out of wood.
