I saw Om last week and that is pretty much how I walked away from the show as well. It was really demanding of the audience the way they'd start a jam, build it up and the kind of taper out again. They were great, but it would have been much more enjoyable if I was ripped and could have sat down to watch it, as one of my mates said. Unfortunately it was a school night and I had to drive as Brisbane's public transport is terrible and pretty much stops before shows finish. I did dig the hypnotic kind of psych stuff the were doing (Emil is a groove machine) but I was hanging out for more monolithic fuzz riffage. They played a little bit of Bhima's Theme, which is my second favorite of theirs (flight of the eagle does it for me,personally), but there wasn't a lot of that going on.
I've only ever seen them with Ampegs, obviously getting the greens down here is out of the question.
That pyramid gig sounds like the fucking tits though.
I read up on that Manson page for like a line and just couldn't be fucked. Those people are just time wasters and oxygen thieves.
Also, Skip, stop posting shit about your friggin Skyhammer!
