Did anyone go ?, reported on the NME website that he trashed his amps ?

[angelsighs]

got a link? can't find that story on NME site

mentioned on the pictures round up, probably rubbish, but would of like to seen that, i love a good trash, me.

I went, he seemed pretty pissed off with his amp at the start of the set but i didn't see it bother him again till the end when he just launched his guitar at it and then at the drums. Then he just walked off while Take Me To The Other Side was ending. He came back on and applauded the crowd afterwards though.

I never thought I'd see the day when the spaceman got aggro with his gear! are there any pics of this knocking around?

[Dikky]

I didn't take any, but surely there must be, right?

he did the EXACT same thing at Pitchfork Music Festival this past Sunday.
so im assuming it was a pre-planned part of the performance.

Weird, i never would have thought Spaceman would be into choreographed anger.

[TheWarmth]

It wasn't anger. As far as I could tell at Pitchfork, it was overwhelming joy and excitement. Just because it happened more than once makes it choreographed?

It seemed like anger at Benni, mainly becuase he did seem pissed off with the amp at the start of the gig and i'm pretty sure people were trying to fix it throughout the show.

Oh and the choreographed part was a joke, i didn't actually think he's been sitting around drawing plans and practising it like.

of course it wasn't choreogrpahed, he would have done the pratice prototype at pichfork then tinkered around with it for 5 years behind closed doors and then unleased it

I went to Benicassim but chose My Bloody Valentine over Spiritualized as they clashed. I'll try + find out what happened regards amp smashing, they guy who recorded my bands CD is currently Spiritaulizeds sound man.
