when i first became interested in mr. rdj, about the time SAWI came out
maybe a little after, i remember hearing and reading about his reworking
and reinterpreting of pieces for his live shows, if this was true i would
love to see him even if most of it is sequenced & sampled.

tell me about it, after seeing Thrill Kill Kult (totally un-idm related,
sorry) twice before i went once again after 3 years of not seeing them
and simply was expecting a typical TKK show compared to past experiences
with them live and ended up witnessing the biggest pile of bung on stage
the likes i had not seen since my early teen years when i watched glam
rock boys Poison open for Ratt. :P
just one mans opinion.
sorry for the length of those statements, todays my first wakenbake in
ages. ;}
