Wolfgang DoebelingNicht daß ich wüßte. Allerdings habe ich sie in Berlin nur einmal gesehen, sonst in London und Glasgow. Publikumsbeschimpfungen habe ich dabei nie erlebt. Wieso auch? Der natürliche Feind der schottischen Naturgewalt war ja der gemeine Mucker, eine Spezies, die sich allenfalls versehentlich in ein JAMC-Konzert verirrt haben mag und sich sicher schnell wieder trollte.
Zu Deiner Ergänzungsfrage: Top100, alle drei.
Ich habe wie gesagt auch nur davon gelesen, und habe das nicht aus der Luft gegriffen. Ich erlaube mir Alan McGee zu zitieren:
„The interviews before their first UK tour had them calling the audiences sheep, saying they were thick as shit. William’s biggest ambition, he said, was ‚to be murdered‘! I’m surprised he’s never achieved it. […] Then, at the Electric Ballroom in Camden […] we had the worst riot ever. […] Because of their reputation, people were turning up on purpose now just to smash stuff up. […] The sound was awful and the band went off early, even earlier than usual. The audience invaded the stage straight away. There were glass bottles flying through the air. Lights smashing, raining broken glass. The bouncers couldn’t cope and the crowd smashed up the amps, the PA. One of the security guards we’d employed got brained with a metal bar.
That’s when we decided it had gone too far. The band weren’t up for continuing the provocation in the way we’d been doing. […] When you had Jim being battered in clubs, people ending up in hospital – in the end, it was pop music, not war“.
