From Louder than Hell" book SEAN YSEULT: Back when we played at CBGB, we used to rig our own pyro. It was totally illegal and very Spinal Tap. Either we'd pack too much gunpowder and everyone in the front row would get singed, or we'd use too little and just get this non-impressive fizzle. We were buying all this stuff at these industrial stores on Canal Street—all these cop lights and rope lights. We’d put them all over the stage and wrap them around the amps—anything we could do to be a little more outrageous and obnoxious.

and the Reading Festival : Only one day after...
I arrived at the show an hour late, but I wasnt too keen on seeing EyeHateGod. Pantera is ok or whatever, but I coulda missed them and not felt bad (seen em twice already). Anyway, got there and waited around for Pantera to start but the next thing I know the lights drop and the intro to Electrichead Pt1 starts playing. Then theres some static and then the stage lights up in explosions and they Sean and J and Rob pop out and tear into "I, Zombie".
Like I said, they played a great show, alot better than I expected after having been on the road all over the world since early last year. Rob commented on this saying they had already been around the world twice and were gonna stop but they said fukkit and decided to do a summer tour.
As for the setlist, they played most everything off AstroCreep, even El Phantasmo, which kicks ass live, but the only thing they played off La Sexorcisto was Thunderkiss. I kinda missed hearing Black Sunshine. They did play the new song from the Escape from LA soundtrack, called "The One." Starts off with an electro sound but jumps into some hard ass guitars and Rob puts on a good vocal effort. I think its one of their best songs not on an album since "Feed the Gods."
Rob also talked about the album of Astrocreep remixes coming out in early August. The appearance has this hot woman all dressed up in a sequined bathing suit. Theyre already selling shirts to go along with it.
Speaking of shirts and stuff, I saw like 4 new shirts and a new cap. There was even this special shirt thats small as hell, like only a kid or maybe a petite girl could wear. Another of the shirts had a funny caption on the back, "I went to hell and all I got was this crummy t-shirt"
As for the show, I was kinda pissed that White Zombie opened for Pantera. Pantera has been popular just a little bit longer than White Zombie, but most of the people at this show were wearing Zombie shirts. Not to mention the show was billed as White Zombie *with* Pantera, as in Pantera was a side attraction. Between sets I walked around the promenade and some of the people just arriving were hearing theyd already missed White Zombie and boy were they pissed. Its a good thing I came early cuz if I'd come late just to see Zombie and missed it, I woulda gone fukkn bezerk. I know Pantera is from Texas and all, but I think White Zombie is bigger...

I was at the show in Houston also...nothing but ass-kicking.
Right down in front of me...four people from one of the local churches protesting the show were passing out little books called something like
"How to find Hope and Glory." It was pretty damn stupid,
but it was funny when someone from the top rafters threw a beer down
and it managed to hit the guy in the 3 piece suit right in the head.
What more can I say about the show... its all been said...
except that eye hate god sucks.
By the way that they sounded...I think that God Hates Them Too!
They have no talent. Anyway...did I hear right...
did Rob say that this was going to be the last tour?
Hope Not...later
Just an Idea : Will GWAR tour with WZ Anytime ??? :-)
$ Spent on The Astrocreep Tour They Spent $20,000 a night on The Astrocreep Tour on pyrotechnics, stage sets, transportation, etc.... Rob is creating the stage himself with the help of Hellraiser IVs set designer
