We are in Berlin now, but tonight we continue our journey to Polland. It was my first night on the Snoop Dogg coach (not counting the night from Glastonbury to London) and I slept quite well.
We performed on the Werchter festival last night, sandwiched between Marilyn Manson and Muse. As I’m first and foremost a classical musician (whatever that means!) I had never even heard of Muse, but I understand they are HUGE. However I immediately recognized the music Marilyn Manson chose to play before he appeared on the stage. It was the slow movement from Schubert’s Piano Trio op. 100.
That’s not exactly rock music.
However, Schubert’s Trio is played several times in the vampire cult film Hunger, and as Manson has declared himself a Satanist, maybe that’s the connection.
It was fairly obvious that not all of the audience came to hear Björk, so I didn’t experience the warmth from it I have grown accostumed to. Still, a lot of people seemed very enthusiastic.
I had kind of fantasized about partying afterwards with Marilyn Manson and I did listen to the beginning of his concert back stage… but when we ourselves had performed I felt mildly ill. So I just went back to the coach and took it easy.
