Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Skinny Puupy, Frontline Assembly, and others are amazing! I had the great pleasure of growing up in Orlando, Florida where industrial music was HUGE in the late 80’s through today even!
I'm a big (Belgian) fan of the Front. I agree. Yet, I think we all can agree they ain't no wussies. So maybe the energy levels & still admirablely great bodyshapes aren't necessarily the result of physical workouts but something rather more chemical.
Saw them here in Austin this last October and was blown away the same as another comment, these guys have boundless frenetic energy. Even during the encore. It was a small venue but was packed to the walls. The audience singing and participating to Headhunter made me want run out into the streets and yell, "you gotta come see this sh*t!" And these guys are in their early 60's! (Im not too far behind in my early 50's) but i grew up with their music from around 15 or 16 years old (try 1984 or 85! 😮😊 was so happy I got to see them live. A concert in my top 3 now (Bauhaus, then Skinny Puppy, then 242). [ On a complete tangent, The 60's psychedelic Prog Rock band The Moody Blues (saw them in early 90's) is a solid #4 knocked down by 242.]
Thanks Brett. When I was a child I lived in Illinois then when I was 10 I moved south and over the years I visited but mainly my point is that I Really Miss Real Chicago Style Hot Dogs, Pizza, and Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches. I will literally wake up in the middle of the night craving a Pork Tenderloin sandwich and say To myself that's 2000 miles Away I can't get my hands on it, Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!!
I'm shocked I was at this show and I didn't notice they counted the American 3. Using the index middle and ring finger not the European 3 using the thumb index and middle finger like they did in the music video. Also I was at the back of the room near the bar so I could dance.
Their music aged really well. Actually, sounds more modern than today's music. I just can't get over how much they aged though. They look like Grandpas.
Awesome funny as heck that the DJ messed up at the end not the first time. A very sure it was Alex Patterson from the orb guest DJing in Tampa in 1997 and Rodney looked over and said what the f***fuk fuk LOL
