We also went to South Korea for the first time. We had no idea what to expect. And what we witnessed was rather scary…. And I mean that in an incredible way. It was as if 19 years of waiting for Extreme to show up exploded in one concert. Not only was it deafening when the lights went down…. But when we kicked into the first song that night… which was Decadence Dance … The crowd was so explosive that it was the first time in my whole career that I could not hear my guitar…. nor could I hear the rest of the band. I remember looking over at my band mates and seeing the combination of fear and elation at the same time. When I stepped out front to play a solo, I was sonically engulfed and ripped apart by the fans… It was like being on deck of a ship in a storm with hurricane winds and waves relentlessly hitting you in the face… but instead of running for cover you had to hold it together and take it. Quite an amazing experience. I’m sure it was 19 years of pent up energy… but the biggest surprise was looking out and seeing at least 60% of a new generation of young fans. Regardless… Seoul let us know that they have SOUL! And they express in a way I have never witnessed before. It was like stuffing the intensity and energy of a 70,000 Stadium crowd into a 2,000 capacity venue. After the show our FOH sound engineer told us he had to reach for the Master fader in a panic, cause even out front, with the big PA system, he also lost the band. No lie.
Thank You Korea for that memorable experience. Sorry we never made it to play for you. Now we know what we were missing. And we won’t make that mistake again…see you all soon.

첫댓글 와.. 너무 좋았나보다.. 이런 감동어린 격찬을!
울거 같네요 누노나 나나 ㅜㅜ
완전 뮤지션들이 후기 쓴것 가운데 반응이 제일 좋은것 같아욬ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 진짜 감동했나봐요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
후기만 읽어도 전율이 느껴진다..
아아아아아아아아아아아아아...........누노가 펜타에도 단독으로도 이미 왔었지만 이런 감동은 역시 익스트림이어야 완성되는것...........ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
누노만으로는 많이 한국에 왔지만.. 정말 개시키님말대로 익스트림이라서 더욱더 전율이 배가 된듯 싶어요. 멋져!!! 다음에도 왔음 좋겠어요!
누노 너무 맛깔스럽게 잘 쓰네요... Seoul let us know that they have SOUL! And they express in a way I have never witnessed before........ㅎㄷㄷ
Now we know what we were missing. And we won’t make that mistake again…see you all soon...라니... 와와와..
우린 인당 35인분의 몫인가 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
저 안에 내가 있었다!!~와우~
누노의 글을 보면서 참 문학적이다 란 생각이 들었어요..감성이 풍부하니 그게 음악으로 나타나는것 같아요..행복해요..ㅎㅎ
