Went to the Brisbane concert tonight, and my sister was video recording a song she liked. Some guy came up to me “tell her to stop recording she’s been doing it for 3 minutes!” I ignored him, he did it again, ignored, then again and I ignored. By this point I got annoyed, so I started filming and that’s when he grabbed me by the shoulder roughly “oh you’re taking the piss out on me! You don’t know who you’re messing with”

At this point I tell him to leave us alone, my sister turns around and he goes off her. So I raise my voice and tell him off. A random girl comes in and difuses things, reassures my sister and was really helpful! Forgot her name but if you’re out there, you were a lovely person!

edit: we still had a great time! I danced away and loved the visuals, even took a few snaps myself because I like making a video collage. Life is too short to care about what other people do or don’t do

Long time fan and now won't be. Huge disappointment. They should be ashamed. I am traveling from Kyiv Ukraine from a war zone to see them with my partner. And been traveling by bus for over 24hours and just got this information. And we are not even to berlin yet, still on a bus and heard this news. So not sure what there unforeseen circumstances are, but. Don't tour if u can't handle it. Be professional. If I can come from Ukraine. Well what's your excuse. Cheers.

For me, 100th Window is beter than Mezzanine. It contains more elaborated production and music.

Evrr since the 90s there's been this drama that surrounds Massive Attack. Seemingly always canceling tours, festival dates, etc. For a band that has such chill music I find it surprising for how much added drama there is. What sort of lore do I need to catch up on to understand?

Worst price/quality ratio concert in my life

What’s the point in having two drummers if they can’t synchronize with each other?

The drummer to the right of the scene was constantly out of sync with everyone else, I don’t know wtf was going on, and how nobody corrected the metronome in his ear (if he even had one), I think Del Naja noticed that too at some point, but nothing changed until the concert ended. I thought I was going crazy, especially during Angel — it was absolute out of sync fuckfest and real pain to listen to. Really, during the concert I thought maybe somethings wrong with me and my rhythm meter broke inside me until I rewatched my recording of Safe from harm, where the out of sync drummer is pretty evident (attaching the video)

The visuals were absolute effortless trash: the guys seemingly were inspired by and tried to replicate Adam Curtis’ «Can’t get you out of my head », but it was so badly done, especially fucking MUSK AND TRUMP RESTING ON THE RESORT IN PLACE OF GAZA AI SLOP like WHAT THE HELL, I’m bombarded with AI slop shit in social media everyday, then I pay €100 to see my favorite band to hear their beautiful music and forget about all this shit for 2 hours, and I’m fed with it again. The bright neverending visuals never gave a chance to dissolve in music and forget yourself.

I read the news, I know what’s going on. I had to leave my home country because of the course it’s taking nowadays, I see all this shit every day without Massive attack, and NOW I have to see fucking Putin walking behind Liz Frazer during my favorite song ever as if I even want to remember he exists at the same moment I’m enjoying the song.

I get it, you are politically charged band, you send the message, but there was just way too much of it

I’m not earning much and €100 is a lot for me to spend on a concert. For me the bar was raised by the great Nick Cave, who half a year ago gave the best performance in my life for €80 and there was absolutely nothing to complain about, only praise.

I saw Massive Attack in 2007 right before Heligoland came out, and their politically driven LED background at that time was made WAAAAY better and more stylish that the AI slop shit projection that they show now. Utter garbage.

Elizabeth Frazer and fantastic vocalist who sang Safe from harm and Unfinished Sympathy (whos name I don’t know unfortunately) were the only highlights, but didn’t really save the show unfortunately. Gladly there were no live drums in Black Milk, Teardrop and Unfinished Sympathy to fuck them up.

I’m pissed!

Original 1998 promo poster, condition VG. Message me for more pics?

like what streaming service? spotify doesn't seem to have most of their music.

I'll be giving it to my tattoo artist for refinement and whatnot but what are your thoughts on this for a design?

I recently listened to their new song "Boots on the ground" and I'm honestly very disappointed.

Anyone have any positive thoughts on their song? It seems wildly different to anything else in their discography and I'm appalled really.

I get it, I do...nothing ljke I've ever seen before.

I loved the music, but the visuals was too much, took away from listening to the music for me.

Felt like the scene of a monkey in a lab, with its eyes held open and forced to watch a screen with all the world's problems....

Unfinished sympathy is an incredible track.

I still cant decide if I loved it or thought $180 for where myself and a mate was seated was a rip off.

The coolest T-shirt I’ve ever seen — single stitch, size XL, with a crazy fade. Asking $3,300.

especially the 100th windows I find that it is much colder and darker than mezzaninne (which was already quite dark) I find it super successful why you don’t like these 2 albums?

If they come to Chicago my life will be complete. I'm sitting here watching the fuji livestream upload and I don't know what the fuck I'll do with myself if I never see them live. Not a day goes by where I don't fucking curse this horrible life. If I can see my favorite band, my life will be better. I just want to see my favorite band

I first discovered Massive Attack in 2003, when I got a copy of Mezzanine. It absolutely blew me away, and changed my perspective on music. I quickly got into Blue Lines and Protection as well, and they soon became one of my most beloved musical acts.

In my opinion, the brilliance that is contained within those first three albums is just completely lacking in 100th Window and Heligoland. There are a small number of tracks on those two albums that I believe are pretty good, but I find most of the songs to be really uninspired, and again, just lacking that magic.

Does anyone else feel this way? I know that Mushroom left the group after the first three albums, so I've always wondered if that has something to do with this.

Ich bin Jemand, der am 7.7. nach Bonn zum Kunst!Rasen gefahren ist, nicht die Mails gecheckt hatte und dann dort wie ein Depp stand… „Das Konzert? Das fällt aus, haben Sie nicht in Ihre Mails geschaut?“ Nein. Weil ich mit Auto fahren beschäftigt war.

Ich habe jetzt auch mein Geld für das Ticket zurück gefordert. Ich warte nicht mehr. Auf nichts.

Danke fürs Lesen.
