Re: beat: MF Doom show sucked balls
Ha, I had pretty much the exact same experience as you last year at The Independent in SF. Show started at nine. Some DJ opens who is pretty good but then he has to extend his set an extra half hour. Then the DJ for MF Doom comes on for an an hour, after a while it seems like he's stalling and doesn't seem that prepared. Then a bunch of MF Doom's posse or something comes out and raps, like four of them in a row, they all suck. Everyone is getting restless. Then at like one in the morning MF Doom finally comes out. He kept fiddling with the sound levels, he would turn around and adjust knobs in the middle of his songs which messed up the energy. And then by the way he left it was clear there wouldn't be an encore, it was like he couldn't wait to go. Couldn't have been more than a half hour that he was actually on stage.
MF Doom rules, just not live I guess, it was pretty disappointing. So it seems like that's standard for him. We paid $40 each for our tickets though. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
