@tooolest32 Gira has total control, directs the band; changing the music to be how he wants it to be at that moment in time. The set began with a drone loop, then builds into 'No words/no thoughts'...How was SWANS live? Tight, together, controlled; the drummers deserve massive praise for sheer hard work. Swans live? like standing on the edge of a portal to Hell, Gira as the possessed preacher-man in a church of blood, calling on Jesus to tear his soul into shreds...
@RideFlame i feel divided about these vids from the last tour.........on one hand they seem fresh, which i admire....on the other hand giras 'singing' too much and the concept seems out of place and time for 2010......but doesm't [everything] human?
