Taproot were a strange band. Their guitarist started dressing like he was in The Smiths on the second album. That “Incase of fire BREAK the glass” vocal was hilarious too.
Saw Kennedy Soundtrack supporting Miocene, aka “the British Tool”, who were actually good but fucked it by taking forever with their proper debut album.
KS were dreadful.
Was at both of those. Spineshank was the first time i heard SikTh
I saw that lineup at the Apollo in Manchester, great gig.
I bought the Kennedy Soundtrack album, I think on the basis of one of those end-of-aisle CD racks in HMV with the micro reviews on bits of card. It’s still the worst music I’ve ever paid for. I bought Trust Company, Number One Son and Boy Hits Car albums for the same reasons before I learnt my lesson, definitely a low period in my life!
Was on the front row for that shit, so we could be there for (hed) pe, fear factory and SOAD.
I was there too. Serj came onstage with (hed) pe in an orange hoodie. Great times. SOAD were awesome.
Oh yeah, i forgot about them doing Feel Good. Thought Marilyn Manson was incredible that day too. Eminem, not so much.
Incubus?
Gr8 shout
Yes! Same - forgot they were the support. From memory I got elbowed in the face about 10 seconds into Sikth’s first song then retreated to the back for the rest of the evening
I think we’d got there early and grabbed a table right at the front of the balcony. Wasn’t my usual preference for gigs, but can’t knock the view.
Miocene! Fucking hell
Just looked them up and it turns out Wayne Static isn’t even in the band anymore?!
Well to be fair, he is dead.
I… did not know that.
