Kleiner Bericht von Vinnie zur Europa Tournee:
Day Five: Munich, Germany
We stayed up all night entertaining some new female friends until we had to pack to leave for our flight to Munich this morning. Mario, our driver in Spain, picked us up at the hotel in Madrid at 5:30a.m. to take us to our 7:30a.m. flight to Munich. At the Madrid airport, we stumbled through security to our fourth flight in four days. Luckily, the guy at the Lufthansa check-in counter was a hip-hop fan and asked Vin for an autographed CD or they probably would’ve sent us to some dungeon for drunks until we were sober enough to get on the flight.
Our European tour manager, Sly, picked us up from the airport in Munich today and will be driving us to the next six shows through Germany and Holland. This is the first time we’ve had a driver on tour. In the States, Stoupe and I are usually behind the wheel. We loaded our shit into the eight-passenger van and made our way to the next bed. We’re averaging three hours of sleep per day.
The crowd at tonight’s show was nuts. People were drinking bottled beer and breaking the empties on the floor. Drew cut his hand on some glass after hitting the floor on his first stage dive. He DJ’ed half the show with a bloody right hand. The circus never ceases.
Day Six: Berlin, Germany
The beds in these German hotels are pretty damn comfortable. None of those generic, low-threadcount, sandpaper-like bedsheets we usually score at the hotels while on tour in the States. Quality bedding products aren’t noteworthy until you’re sleep deprived.
Vin is starting to lose his voice. He knocked back a few cups of tea at rest stops to help his cause. Nine shows in nine days is an ambitious schedule – one Vin has never attempted before. If we can make it to Berlin in time for some sleep, I think he’ll be alright. Today is hump day: four shows behind us, five ahead, including tonight.
Day Seven: Duisburg, Germany
This morning, our tour manager, Sly, told us that the last four shows of the tour are sold out.
They oversold tonight’s show. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder. Fans in the front row were falling onto the stage from the force of the throngs of people standing behind them. It was a human domino scene, but only the front row had an opportunity to fall forward onto the stage because the other rows were packed too tightly with bodies to allow enough space for anyone to fall to the floor. It was beginning to look like a European football match. I thought someone would be stomped to death, but we made it out of the building with no deaths on stage or in the crowd.
Vin’s wireless mic cut out at the beginning of the show, so he swapped it with a wired mic. For a minute, I thought his voice was gone.
The circus rolls on…
Vielleicht war die Show in Berlin wegen der stimmlichen Probleme von Vinnie so kurz...
. Und Stoupe war wegen seiner Flugangst nicht dabei. Als DJ war irgendein Drew dabei, der Rapper war wohl doch King Syze...
