A Twitter-transcipt of INTEGRITY's European Tour-Start 2013 a.D.

Due to the large success, I once again let you re-live my transmission from a show... it was quite one, although not as good as before (I am speaking of Orr-era, not Melnick-ing).
I edited and reworked the tweets for a better experience. Read for yourself:

@INTEGRITY_HT Euro-Tour about to begin at JZ St.Peter in Duisburg...looking forward to OPTIMIST also. pic.twitter.com/rSYFupYlOG

-  OPTIMIST...if you like your traditional Ruhrpott-Metal to be stomping and moshy - there you go! Like the (sometimes) German vocals!

- OPTIMIST... 3rd song, was about time Kevin took his shirt off. An ugly smell of sweat is in the air...but I still very much enjoy "Weltenbrand"

- Unfortunately, no "Imbiss" around,but some Beef Jerkys and Barbecue-flavored crisps help overcome both: waiting for @INTEGRITY_HT and hunger

- Someone is up now...I honestly don't care, and rather keep talking about Bundesliga, even when a Schalke-supporter is asking about how Westermann is doing with #HSV. WHAT SHOULD I SAY MORE? Three words: I don't care. For both

- Okay, skipped that, another one and then finally @INTEGRITY_HT is up.
#nurderhsv

- I just couldn't resist to hang out at the Merch area for nostalgic reasons.nothing to spectacular happening, but even that is familiar

- @INTEGRITY_HT are about to start this European Inquisition in a few moments, we will see how that fits into the last encounters. Doubtful, because of the crowd, with (only) a few familiar faces and a couple of diehards - but I am willing to be surprised

- Thanks to Adrian Brachman for having a time-

Someone did a video

killing conversation about 90s HC, working the Blue Collar way, vinyl and social ambitions. I could not care less for TV-series, Street Punk and ADOLESCENTS-records that seem to be hot topics in other groups around

Wait...is black still the color of choice in 2010s merch, or are we having a comeback here? What definitely (has) changed is, that not Punk people (there aren't any) but HC dudes bring their dogs. I'd rather see some kids,if you are about to show-off your Cocooning-style. Was a definite highlight conversation: talking about Baby-Car seats and stuff to (an) OPTIMIST

- Orr-tunes...it's starting NOW @INTEGRITY_HT ...see ya in abit - or the pit!

- @INTEGRITY_HT took it of with "Vocal Test" and "Hollow",a cacophony of sound melted into the overheated room, and after some then-&-now it lasted until "Diehard" and "Systems" until the crowd went crazy. They definitely weren't for the more Japanese-styled stuff, but when shifted into the slower part with "Dawn" and a dragging "Those who fear", the heat was yet again forgotten. Being at my usual spot at the left speakers helped bathing in a stream of inflictions, until an "Abraxas Annihalation" served for a perfect ending. Could have lived without the encore - even if that was some serious @INTEGRITY_HT smashers like "Sarin".Only one missed was a "Lucifer before.." but got an harmonica instead. If this happens to be yet again the only show of the year, this was rightly so. Thanks, @INTEGRITY_HT

- After some watching of loading and talks about Belgium beer, I headed home in a not overwhelmed way like after last tour, but satisfied

- one more thing: heard some interesting stuff about lineups of next years A389-bash

Hell freezes over? January, INTEGRITY, A389-Bash!

Going to be awesome

To speak the truth, a slightly changed famous HC-quote: "It took us 17 years to get this far, by now we are only... http://t.co/vn6410gR

Post Mortem

"before the Jahrhundertwende, some of us and our friends played (in) these bands. 

It's part of us, it made us what we are, still denying the past, ignoring the future! Hardcore"

Dubious Bands

Before I was casted by the LEBENSREFORM-dudes, I had acquired some time in a handful of other projects that could be called "music bands" more or less. Very early on, it was very much more a teenage approach to drinking and partying - it was just hanging around with guys and tried banging drums (could not even beat an Oi!-kid of, let's say, 9 years). At least, somebody of the infamous DOSENMONTAG was involved.

I skipped the whole thing for many years, and tried to fail again on totally different territory, i.e. Hamburg. By 1994, I guess, I got together with two hanseatic buddies I don't know nothing about these days, and an old almost-hometown friend and by then co-writer for ZAP-Fanzine and VISIONS also (besides being a journalist in East-Germany): Dietmar Stork. The musical approach must have been something like a crossbreed of INFEST and PRIMUS - but I don't recall a thing of that part. That band, HALZZ, practised like 150m away from the Borstelmannsweg-thing in which LEBENSREFORM, LINSAY, LOXIRAN and TOMTE would reside. The only public appearance was a text-excerpt in HORIZONS-fanzine #2. For those who follow some of my works, you might recognise something.

The most promising effort of having another "real" band was another Hamburg-project with a JUST WENT BLACK-nucleus (by than more famous of being FIRE AT WILL) and veganhardcore.de-contribution. We were called SEBGHA, and had almost as much drummers as we had songs. Both shared the the habit of being not too steady. But the whole thing really made us proud and who knows what might see the face of earth one day. I have been told, that there is something still hiding somewhere - caught in space and time.
