Hopefully he will do a m & g like he has been doing - I have met him several times on these as well as out the back of a couple of gigs - he is super sweet and nice. No airs n graces!! Very humble man - go for it Wow,your very lucky!!!If I ever got the chance to meet Mark I think it would blow my mind. Trust me - it has!!! The first time I just got a cd signed, I thanked him for the gig and he said thanks. Next time I was braver got a photo then 2 posters signed, a conversation and a chuckle and finally a hug Next few times was getting o/s forum members cd's signed and by the 3rd nite he remembered me - he is such a lovely lovely guy!!

Well, they've finally played the video of Gravedigger's Song on Rage last Friday and tonight. Granted, it's on at 3.30am, but that's better than nothing! The support band for Sydney won't be Creature With The Atom Brain. It'll be Howl At The Moon www.hatm.com.au/index.php?p=music 6 days to go....but who's counting?

Cool show in Auckland last night, magical to hear the new songs live. Really enjoyed Pendulum, Creeping Coastline & One Way Street too. And they definitely crank the volume up for Methamphetamine Blues for the big finish! I thought I'd be cool with saying hello, but when I gave him my stuff to sign I found I was a bit nervous, mumbled something about how the LA Clippers were going well & made an exit! He seemed really cool though. Attachments:

Sounds great, glad you enjoyed it scarfaceclaw. And (not surprisingly) Mark's signature seems to be getting smaller and messier.

Yeah,it was an awesome night.Me and the wife got a place right underneath Mark's mike. It was loud!!! The ears were definitely ringing back at the motel. I bought a live CD which Mark signed as well as my Blues Funeral one.I too was a bit nervous and muttered something about thanks for coming,awesome show and hows the tour going.I can't really remember what he replied.I was very dazed.He seems totally different offstage.Really approachable and nice.A cool guy for sure. That strange looking guy next to Mark is me.I look like one of the undead!!! Attachments:

Well, the Sydney gig was great, exactly as I expected. I was hoping it would be 'rocking' like the Brazilian one, but no.....it was a pretty standard show. Great yes, but nothing special. They all seemed a bit tired and laid back....maybe the jet lag from South America was kicking in. Mark didn't talk except to say thanks a couple of times, and to introduce the band. He half-smiled once when someone shouted out "Fuck yeah", and seemed to smirk(?) when introducing Aldo, as if there was an in-joke going on. Or maybe that was my imagination. I was with Chapeuzinho and we were right up the front (of course) in about second or third row in front of Mark. I can't remember the set list, but it was standard.....nothing new or different, and no Wish You Well . It also wasn't as loud as I was expecting, except for Tiny Grain Of Truth and Meth Blues.....they were LOUD! And GOOD! It was a really great gig (as it always is with Mark), but not mind-blowing. Mark signed stuff after....the queue was really long (as it always is with Mark) but it moved really quickly. He signed everything that I had bought for forum members (11 cds), and I spoke to him briefly. He didn't seem as happy and 'bubbly' (what a weird word to describe Mark ) as he was last year, but I guess several months of relentless touring and meeting idiots like me will do that to you. There was nothing new for sale at the merch stall....5 cds (Antwerp, Amsterdam, Voxhall, Barbican, and one other - Hollywood I think) and a poster. Afterwards we hung around outside and the band came out to smoke. We talked to them for a while and took some photos. I told Aldo how disappointed I was that CWTAB weren't supporting Mark and he said it was just too expensive to bring the other band members out. I talked to Steven (the guitarist) about the Brazil show and he said (with a big smile on his face) "Brazilians are crazy!" ;D They seem like really nice guys, but they all looked really tired. I also mentioned to Aldo that it wasn't as loud as I was expecting, except for those two songs, and he said he'd talk to the sound guy. So hopefully it'll be EXTRA loud in Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. He also said he'd recorded some stuff a while ago with Millionaire, but it hasn't been released, and implied he had no plans to either. I don't know if that's old news or not. We also talked to Rosa (Red Ghost) outside. She was really lovely (and really pretty). She said she's done a small amount of singing that's going to be on the new Soulsavers album with Dave Gahan which will be coming out in June (I think that's when she said), and one of the reasons the album has taken so long is that Rich's partner has had a baby recently. Congratulations Rich. And that's it.....a great night. Come back soon Mark (and please bring Creature With The Atom Brain with you). Oh, and have a great night TONIGHT Tanty!

Glad you had a great night BTP. Looks like you got the full sized signature! Cool that you got to meet the rest of the band as well.
