Chris from kings destroy said to me, "everyone I turn around, I have a new favorite." Poland is madness. The fans are crazy, and the women are crazy beautiful.
ToruĊ is apparently the oldest city in Poland. There's lots of history here. The show was a bit weird, in that there were only two bands (us and kings destroy), and we had to wait to start till after the football (soccer) game was over. Italy vs. Spain. Spain ended up winning, and kings destroy ended up starting before the game was completely over.
The pol's seemed to be really into kings destroy. There was lots of simultaneous head banging.
Afterwards, everyone was really drunk, and some hangers on were with Persil and the kings destroy guys. We went back to the hostel, but some stayed out to drink.
Had some coffee, now we're off to Gdynia. Polish hotdogs to be eaten along the way.
Ucho is just as big as I remember it when we played with Sepultura in '09. This time we're minus the stupidly large drum riser. The sound is big, and the stage is still a bit intimidating, but, I'm ready to hit things just the same.
The show was crazy. People going nuts for kings destroy again too. Many photos, many signature requests, and two dudes at the front of crowd being really weird, even as far to jump on stage and start imitating Matt air guitar style. I think they should have left the barricade up.
I slept in the van for the first time thus tour (for security reasons), and it was okay. The van was parked at an angle, so it was sometimes hard to keep from falling out of the loft, but eventually I for the hang of it. It stormed pretty badly, one thunder crack sounding like a strike on a synth guitar combined with an explosion.
Off to Warsaw today.
This band from Australia called Meniscus opened the show and they were absolutely incredible. They were instrumental rock, and they rocked hard. Kind of wish they would be home to play or attend a show when we're in Australia in a few weeks. Oh well.
The whole show was broadcast on the Internet, and the same dude did a recording of the set as well. That'll be fun to watch.
People went crazy. We called for more stage dives, and I think they thought we were kidding, but once one person did it, they just went crazy.
Poznan tomorrow.
