I went to Lund by car at 3pm, and met some guys from the Stockholm show as arranged. We ate a bit at Burger king and went to their place to unload their stuff. Then we went to the arena (Mejeriet) at about 6-6.30. The first support started playing at 7.15 and they actually sucked pretty bad... The second supports started 8.30 and were a bit better.
At 10 BR entered the stage! I can't remember the exact set list, but they started with Fuck Armageddon, and went on to Supersonic. They played about the same songs with one BIG exception! SKYSCRAPER!!!
Let me tell you about this!!!
In the middle of the show Jay started playing a song by himself with the bass which he claimed was Skyscraper (so people say, I didn't hear him say it), and he told everyone to sing. No one did, so he said something about bass being the least needed instrument ever. Later, at some other quiet pause, everyone started screaming for Skyscraper, really high! We even started singing "Build me up, tear me down, like a skyscraper. Build me up and tear down these joining walls. So they can't climb at all. Build me uuuup" like a fucking choir, fucking amazing!
Greg said something like "I don't understand Swedish, sorry", we continued to scream. Greg H said something to Greg and Greg G said "Aaah, Generator" and he started saying Generator nad we kept on with Skyscraper. They begun playing Generator, but we screamed on for Skyscraper after every song.
At last when they got back for the extra songs, they started with Along the way, then they did Skyscraper! I've never heard a crowd sing so high! And after that they ended with American Jesus, fucking brilliant!
After the show we went to the back to see the band, and first we met Brooks standing behind the tour bus, and spoke quickly to him and got our stuff signed. A while later, Greg came out. My friend got his Infected EP signed twice, on the back Greg wrote "Hi Chris, Greg Graffin". I said "Thanks for Skyscraper" when it was my turn, and he just said "No, no, you mean Generator" for a good laugh. Also, someone asked why they didn't play Anxiety, and he just said that they have so many songs (he stated over 200), and that it would take four days to play them all, we just said "We have time for it".
And I didn't ask about ITU... Fuck me.
It's amazing that I've actually met Greg G twice in three days though! Now I can die in peace!

Infected EP? did they sell stuff or did you bring it?
Me? I wrote that it was my friend's. He brought it and kept it in his backpack (I could have had my booklet there, but was I smart? NO!) They didn't sell cd's there, just shirts, and anyway the Infected single pack (it wasn't any ep pack, but the double single pack) is pretty rare nowadays. |

Maniac: yeah that's not impossible. They says that they suck on the first shows and that they feel sorry for the fans who will see their first gigs and that they get better and better for every show.

Anyway, seemed like a great show. Maybe this tour is getting better and better every day until the climax on may 20 ;) |
