Here's a review of the show FNM did in Amsterdam yesterday. It was f!@#ing brilliant!!
April 30th is a national partyday in Holland. It's called queensday and it celebrates the birthday of the
queen of Holland. This ment a big mess and a lot of people in the streets Amsterdam.
About 80 percent of the audience was already drunk before they entered the venue. Faith no more played early and the show started at 21.00 hrs. (normally shows at the Paradiso start at about 22.00 hrs.) and were also really in a "queensday" mood. The band entered the stage all in grey suits, exept for Mike Bordin who wore nothing but some shorts. They started with BE A.G.G.R.E.S.S.I.V.E., directly followed by MIDLIFE CRISIS. Then some new songs followed and they really rocked! I can't wait to hear the new album!
One guy managed to jump from the balcony onto the stage and then into the audience. A huge applause for the poor fellow, who got beat up by secutity and kicked out of the venue after only two songs... stage diving is forbidden at the Paradiso.
The band played some sort of greatest hits show with some new material inbetween. It worked really
well and the audience really got into the new songs. Mike Patton was really screaming his lungs out
and had to quit after about 80 minutes. Best show I saw this year so far! I managed to tape the show
and it sounds really well! I heard FNM returns to Europe in August, so I hope I'll see them again
soon! Album of the year, BAND OF THE CENTURY!!!!
