I still have the t-shirt from the gig. It has "Nazi Punks F**k Off!" on the front (what a classic DK cover!) and a crossed out swastika on the back - saying that, one of my mates has the same shirt and got grief from a couple of guys on the Underground. Anyway, what I was trying to say, is they sure ain't right wing!
I saw them in 2003 playing at a little dump hole in the wall, and before the concert Shane was walking around in front of the club mingling with the crowd. Heck in late 2001 post 9/11 after a concert date was canceled here in FL, he personally responded to a fan email I sent. They are the real deal, real down to earth people just like their fans.
Sounds just like the gig I went to, at the London Astoria 2, just on the corner of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Road in London, a little venue, that made the gig all the more intimate and intense. I trust they failed to disappoint? The one in London was probably the best ever gig I've been to, and this was only a couple of years back, well after I'd finished going through my 'metal stage'.
The only comparable gig would be a 'secret' Sepultura one I went to in 1995, also in the same venue. Had to sleep on the street in London overnight to buy the tickets to that one - well worth it though!
