XnMeX - 8-14-2009 at 11:29 PM

Such a rock star! ;) I know you must have been shitting your pants up there but pulling off a good job at the same time.

panzerkreuzer - 8-15-2009 at 05:41 AM

here are my 50c.
i think itīs one of the best line up since years. sorry mark, but your replacemant does a really good job.
and our mighty honus? excellent work, although the merch girl told me he was nervous a fuvk.. only one hearable mistake in the whole set and after some time he felt comfortable on stage. is he the new craig setari? might be.
was a awesome show yesterday, much better than some i saw on the last tour. good sound, big crowd that has fun and beer all over the place.

sorry josh, we had to leave right after the show, my girlfriend wasnīt feeling well after eating some bad food, i had to work today and we hab a two hour drive to make.
see you next week. have fun on the endless summer today.

as for merch,
the have the bruins design josh posted here for the dkm show, the classic logo on red, and another cool black flag rip off shirt.
the jacket is 35 euro.


hereīs some picuters of sightseeing in the beautiful antwerp and of the show:














Furly - 8-15-2009 at 11:22 AM

awesome pics!

Is that just a random scooter outside the show?


panzerkreuzer - 8-15-2009 at 12:47 PM

it is, it stood right before the club. looks great i think.

XHonusWagnerX - 8-16-2009 at 02:36 PM

That scooter is awesome! I didn't see it at the show I wish I had!

Were at the 3rd show now. Things are going well so far. Last night was a HUGE stage and about 5000 people. LOTS of bands.....
Blitzkid
Regan Youth
The Other
Cockney Rejects
The Red Chord
True Colors
and a buch more.


Tonight is a small club, really small stage and just Slapshot & Frigate.


That's all as of now!

panzerkreuzer - 8-16-2009 at 02:43 PM

here are some pics of then endless summer show, not that good, but you can get a impression.
a friend of mine was there and said it was good, but backfire! were the best at the weekend.









XHonusWagnerX - 8-16-2009 at 06:43 PM

I gotta slim down some more..... I know the camera adds pounds, but how many cameras are on me?



The show tonight was pretty good. Not a huge crowd but not bad. Chris broke a guitar string, I broke a bass string & John broke a snare head. The snare broke at soundcheck but the 2 strings were in the slapshot set. A


XHonusWagnerX - 8-19-2009 at 11:02 AM

At the club. Using the wi-fi. Kinda bored. Waiting for soundcheck.

I posted a few more pics on my facebook so you can check that out. I'm sure some of you have the link.

XHonusWagnerX - 8-19-2009 at 05:48 PM

Saw Roland tonight and he said I only made 1 mistake. Not bad!

ShawnRefuse - 8-20-2009 at 04:00 PM

very nice!!!

XHonusWagnerX - 8-20-2009 at 08:36 PM

Didn't have a great show tonight. I saw Roland again and he said I didn't screw up and the band sounde good but the crowd wasn't into it and
it was hard to really get into it on stage.

Only 3 more to go then it's home.

XHonusWagnerX - 8-23-2009 at 02:02 PM

Last show is over. It's bittersweet but at least it was an awesome Show.

I posted a picture of me and Roland on my facebook bur can't like it here using my phone so someone can post it here if they want.

I will be back in Boston by about 10:00am tomorrow.

Furly - 8-23-2009 at 05:57 PM

Have a good flight!

XHonusWagnerX - 8-24-2009 at 11:52 AM

Back On The Bus!

But this time it's the Logan Shuttle from Boston to Braintree where I will have a ride waiting and be home shortly after!

There will be more pics as they show up and Roland will have a full review since he was at 5 out of 10 shows! He said his computer isn't working but he will be back eventually!

Thanks for all the kind wishes & words of support there will be video online from people I'm sure so you can all be the judge(s).

panzerkreuzer - 8-24-2009 at 02:07 PM

short impressions.
5 showsand 1000 miles autobahn. 4 of the shows were really good. the new line up is very tight.
the first one in antwerp had the biggest crowd which were very enthusiastic. honus lost his virginity, was quite nervous in the beginning, but after some songs he posed like joey de maio.
second one was amersfoort, not that much people there, but the skinheads in front of the stage had their fun. generally i must say there were lots of skins at the shows, like in the early nineties. good!
third one was aachen, worst show of the tour. a friend of mine was the organizer and really shocked that only a few people showed up. the band seemed to have no fun either and played a short and fast set. forgetable for me, but i spoke to a guy who was excited to see slapshot for the first time in his life and he told me the show was awesome....
fourth one was bochum, more people than i expected cause normally the club isnīt filled very well, all had fun and it was the second best show so far.
then came the last show in tilburg. the homepage of the club said on saturday "sold out" and when i reached the club i knew why. it was a better living room with a very small stage. best requirement for a good show... and it was. there was everything a hc show needed. circle pits, stagedives, hard pogo dancing everything. if the band had mics on stage, josh wouldnīt have any teeth left i think.
best slapshot show i saw for years. perfect.
here are some pics of the show.
see you next time....

















BDx13 - 8-24-2009 at 02:42 PM

bombidol - 8-25-2009 at 06:43 AM

Sounds like a good time lads!



Theres one of these guys at EVERY show in Europe.

XHonusWagnerX - 8-25-2009 at 07:56 AM

there was actually 3 'classic thrash metal guys' he was just the most obvious. All I could think of was "How into Municipal Waste is he?"

XHonusWagnerX - 8-26-2009 at 09:15 AM

OLDE TYME HARDCORE

ShawnRefuse - 8-26-2009 at 05:26 PM

Don't think anyone has said this yet, but Josh you look good (you can see the thinness in the face) in that pic with Roland. Keep up the good fight man.

BDx13 - 8-26-2009 at 09:10 PM

you really do look like you've lost a lot of weight, josh.
that was actually one of the 'number of reasons' i was referring to!

XHonusWagnerX - 8-27-2009 at 08:17 AM

thanks guys.... in the weight loss contest at work I'm down 30 pounds as of today. Tomorrow is the final weigh in to see what teams wins the $250.

I'm gonna go with eating/drinking as little as possible today, wear the lightest clothes I have tomorrow and then get back on the 'normal trying to lose weight in a healthy way' diet probably on Monday.


panzerkreuzer - 2-23-2010 at 08:30 AM

found this, seems that the guy recorded the whole last show of the tour. worth checking out, good quality.
