Paul Samuels appreciates one of Rock's true curiousities.On the face of it a Nick Cave gig shouldn't have been this much fun. What with all the Old Testament bellowing and all that murdering. And lest we forget he is a confirmed Kylie killer. One minute he was duetting with her on Where The Wild Roses Grow and then by the end of the song he's killed her with a rock and stuck a rose between her teeth. What a rotter.He's 50 now and has been perfecting his pervy horror shtick and spilling blood in a literate and unique style over 15 solo albums. For years people have argued that there is a sense of humour at work, but after listening to all that bloodshed and bile could a sold out Academy just be full of serial killers in disguise? And while we're at it, if Cave can't think of anything nice to write about, then shouldn't he go to a garden centre or visit a National Trust property instead.Evidently not. The latest album Dig Lazarus Dig is amongst his more user friendly. And Nick Cave himself was positively jovial.They opened with the clanking call and response chain gang sound of Night Of The Lotus Eaters and Dig Lazarus Dig. The Bad Seeds specialise in that swampy, alcoholic sound. Rain hammering on a cabin roof and face at the window stuff.For this tour they've brought the full drum shop. Loads of percussion and some songs had 2 drummers (the excellent Jim Sacluvas and his legendary pink drum kit) and any Bad Seed not otherwise gainfully employed could usually be spotted banging something or other.Dig Lazarus Dig has Cave in full declamatory preacher mode, as he tells the story of a cult figure and his downfall. "The women all went back to their homes and their husbands with secret smiles in the corner of their mouths. He ended up as so many of them do, back on the streets in a soup queue.... Poor Larry" He sounds like he's having fun by the way he squeezes out the "Poor Larry" line.The swirling Tupelo is as threatening as the storm it describes and Red Right Hand suits the clankier sound of the current Bad Seeds sound. Cave switches between guitar, keyboard and stage prowling and fist shaking depending on the song. His civil war 'tache remains resolutely lady scaring though. He's got some completion in the beardy stakes though. Guitarist Warren Ellis seems to have a hermit attached to his chin.Cave responds good-humouredly to the constant audience requests, although sadly not to the hopeful "Play the one from Shrek". At one point he announces "It's Rock 'n' Roll. It's incredible what you can get away with."He adopted one fan's shout of "You're the man" and enthusiastically took it up as the theme for the evening. After each song the patter would be a variant on "I'm the Man," or "No you're the Man"After playing Your Funeral My Trial he said, "It was a happy day when I wrote that song" before almost giggling "The bitch never talked to me again". Oh yes he's in a good mood. Book him for your next children's party!Lie Down Here And Be My Girl from the new album sounds excellent, powering along like it's close relative Third Uncle by Eno. The sparse and delicate Moonland has the arresting opening line "When I first came up out of the meat locker. The city was gone"The set closer More News From Nowhere has Cave waving bye bye to the audience (oh yes) in contrast to the Birthday Party days when he'd be more likely to be sticking a winklepickered boot into the front row.Oldies encores included Get Ready For Love where the "All around the world" part got played liked AC/DC's Whole Lotta Rosie and the frankly beautiful Into My Arms. In a parallel universe couples may well be cuddling up to that one. And some were at the Academy! But just to prove that he's not ready for the Simon Bates gig yet, his last song was Stagger Lee. As the song veered from taut and brooding to it's full bloody climax, the stage lighting went as mental as the band in full explosive flight....And the language. Dear oh dear! What a lot of mother loving. Unfortunately what we've got in that song, is a very bad man who leaves a trail of death and destruction; starting with the murder of the bar man at the Bucket Of Blood and finishing with some sexual bad manners and the line "Billy dropped down and slobbered on his head and Stag filled him full of lead"(Amazingly this isn't actually the most unsettling use of the word "head" in pop music....That would be the line from the Jacques Brel song Next. "And I swear on the wet head of my first case of gonorrhoea")As a song and performance it summed up just why Nick Cave is still such a good thing. Funny, hokey, unsettling and thoroughly enjoying playing with the possibilities of a musical and literary history and also well aware of his own image and the fun he can have with it. Backed by a band who rock like bastards.

Bivši Saint ispred CaveaGitarista Ed Kuepper, jedan od osnivača australijskih pank pionira The Saints, sa bubnjarem Jeffreyjem Wegenerom biće predgrupa na koncertu Nicka Cavea i Bad Seedsa u Beogradskoj areni 4. juna.The Saints su osnovani 1975; Kuepper je učestvovao u snimanju kultnih albuma (I'm) Stranded i Eternally Yours, da bi 1979. istupio iz grupe i osnovao The Laughing Clowns sa kojima se okrenuo tišem, eksperimentalnijem zvuku.Godine 1985. je, na iznenađenje fanova, čistim pop albumom Electric Storm započeo solo karijeru koju uz mali prekid neguje do danas.U sezonama 1993. i 1994. osvojio je nagradu Aria koja se dođeljuje najboljim nezavisnim australijskim kantautorima, a još tri puta je za nju bio nominovan.Mali iskorak iz solo voda Kuepper je napravio početkom 90-ih, kada je osnovao grupu The Aints koja je zvukom naginjala prema žanru koji je tek bio u nastajanju - grandžu.Ta faza je trajala kratko i Kuepper je ponovno zaopčeo solo nastupe, tako da je za četiri godine snimio čak devet albuma.Nekoliko poslednjih godina Kuepper se bavi i snimanjem muzike za radio drame i eksperimentalne filmove.Naziv njegovog poslednjeg studijskog albuma Jean Lee And The Yellow Dog, Part 2 preuzet je iz australijske istorije.Ed Kuepper je veoma cenjen među svojim kolegama - što potvrđuje i poziv Nicka Cavea da nastupa u okviru turneje Dig! Lazarus! Dig!.

ed kuepper je svirao u prvom punk rock bendu (mislim na pank sredine 70-tih, ne onaj 10 godina ranije) koji je i dan-danas jedan od najbitnijih, ne samo u australiji. mozda ti cenis da je to nevazno, ali u r'n'r istoriji mesto mu je jos uvek ispred kejva. to sto je po razlazu sa baileyem pravio, bas kao i bailey, neuspele albume ne moze da umanji znacaj i uticaj the saints. sam nc ih je apostrofirao kao jedan od kljucnih mu uzora u '120 minutes' kada je doveden da bira muziku/spotove bendova koje voli.

ne znam za The Saints, znam Eda od laughable 'Laughing Clownsa' pa nadalje kroz arty grunge inkarnacije 90ih. nego, kakav je to kvalitativni parametar 'prvi pank rock bend u regionu' ? mogu misliti koliko ima pionirskih punk-rock bendova, tako rasporededjenim po regionima ? nemoguce da su svi oni dobri, samo jer su pioniri jer su krenuli 1976. mislim, to je cisti trendsetting - odsjaji desavanja po velikim centrima. ne kazem da trendsetting nije bitan [cak je vrlo vazan preduslov za bilo sta dobro], vec jednostavno nije punk bend iz nikaragve '76 dobar samo jer je iz '76.

ne znas za the saints? najuticajniji punk rock bend iz australije, no, imas net, guglaj i bice ti jasno o cemu pricam. rekoh da to sto je posle radio ne vredi po lule duvana, ali the saints su ista liga kao clash, ramones, pistols.

Najedite se koncerata, dugo ih neće biti...Iz Beogradske arene stiglo je obaveštenje da je "zbog velikog interesovanja" pušten u prodaju dodatni kontingent karata u svim kategorijama. U prevodu na ljudski jezik to znači da je koncert pukao, i da će biti dobro ako se popuni i trećina megalomanske hale.

Ma biće do jaja, kada God vidi da nije uspeo da popuni ni parter.

ima li nekog dubljeg razloga za taj sarkazam ili je u pitanju prezir prema organizatorima, areni ili kejvu?ako je ovo drugo, ne vidim da postoji potreba za jos kojim uanlajnerom.hvala.

Ne prezirem ni Kejva, ni organizatore, ni Arenu. Naprosto me je sramota zbog toga što će takav izvođač i takav bend nastupati u polupraznom prostoru. Nisam želeo da zvučim sarkastično, ali sam ovih dana saznao veliki broj jezivih informacija o koncertnoj sceni u Srbiji, a slaba prodaja Kejva je jedna od njih. Problem je u tome što su koncertni promoteri ove godine preterali načisto. Green fest, Exit, Julio Iglesias, Mark Knopfler...Slayer, John Fogerty...pa dalje: Legacy festival, Castle festival...Adria rock...Ian Brown...Police...ma mrzi me dalje i da nabrajam. Slejer je prodao 260 ulaznica. Adria - otkazan, prevara. Slejer danas otkazan. Fogerti otkazan. Kestl će biti skraćen na tri dana, ili otkazan. Legasi festival nije isplatio muziku, i izvesno nestaje sa scene, zajedno sa metal svirkama srednje klase - promoteri u svetu, za razliku od Srbije, pričaju jedni sa drugima. Razlozi za sve izvesniji krah srpske koncertne scene su mnogostruki, ali je svakako glavni taj da su se promoteri, poneseni uspehom 2007. godine polakomili, rascepkali scenu, bukirali previše a onda počeli da uništavaju jedni druge podmetanjima, cinkarenjima i drugim metodama.Publika je, naravno, osetila da se nešto dešava, i okrenula se starom dobrom metodu za miniranje promotera: kupovini karata poslednjeg dana...Prevarant se tako spreči da mazne pare, ali je kolateralna šteta i pošten organizator, koji izgubi živce čekajući publiku i saseče troškove otkazivanjem svirke. Posedujem i informaciju o tome koliko je karata do sada prodato za "Police". Neću je podeliti sa vama jer mi ne biste poverovali.p. s. Ovaj forum postao je načisto premoderiran...Luba, drugarski savet, ali stvarno drugarski: ako ti se ne sviđa šta pišu forumaši, pobriši poruke pa popunjavaj topike sama, kao što su radili na ZamisliSrbiji, ali nemoj da misliš da ćeš zaštititi kvalitet potforuma arbitrarnim moderatorskim uletanjima u raspravu izrečenim u vidu upozorenja. Nijedno pravilo foruma nisam prekršio osim onog idiotskog o "uanlajnerima", koje se ionako sprovodi samo kada je sporan sadržaj "uanlajnera". Napišem jedan post u 5 dana, i nalećem momentalno na minu. Shvatite, ja nikog od vas ne znam uživo (osim jednog moda...a to je ionako iskustvo par excellence ;) ), i za mene niste nikakvi moralni, kulturni i bilo koji drugi autoriteti, već ste najobičnija tehnička lica koja održavaju pHpBB forum. Ponašajte se tako, više ćemo se voleti.p. p. s. Da si pročitala moj prethodni post, znala bi šta hoću da kažem svojim "uanlajnerom".p.p.s. Do sada je na ovom topiku zabeleženo 20+ uanlajnera i nekoliko hailovanja, bez intervencije moderatora. p.p.p.s. Ovo mi je bio prvi i poslednji put da se pravdam i objašnjavam svoje stavove o bilo čemu volonteru maleckog foruma. Sledeći put bolje odma' kažnjavaj. Edited by vasudeva418

procitala sam tvoj prethodni post i zato sam i reagovala, jer mislim da je bio sasvim dovoljan.na ovom topiku je vec bilo incidenata i zaista ne mislim da bi dalja rasprava o kvalitetu promotera, njihovim mega planovima i slicno, doprinela prici o niku kejvu.tvoj dugi post bi odlicno legao na temu "koncerti", jer bi tamo moglo da se raspravlja o tome.o ostalom, na drugom mestu i drugi put.

ukusi su razliciti. meni su The Saints (prvi album narocito) bili odlicni, ali su mi Laughing Clowns bolji - ostavili su vise materijala za sobom. kada je pre par godina objavljen onaj trostruki box set prilikom prvog preslusavanja bio sam odusevljen pesmom koja otvara, a onda je svaka sledece bila jos bolja. nevidjeno dobar bend i sa zaljenjem mogu da konstatujem da nisu nikad otisli dalje od cult-statusa.a Ed Kuepper je radio mnogo bolje solo albume nego Chris Bailey.
