I was 14 back then, but what a time to be alive. All those great concerts at halles de schaerbeek, La Gaite, the Manhattan (in Leuven) that period. I was pissed out of my skull most times but when I see recordings of those concerts I feel the energy just like before

Yeah, my favorite tv show at that time, ROXBOX with host Ray Cokes. The RTBF (Belgian French speaking TV chanel) organized free concerts and I went to several of them. This Front 242 concert @ La Gaité-Brussels was too short (35min), but as a 16 year old kid I was deeply impressed about what I've seen. Many Front 242 concerts followed, but this one will forever be in my top 3. Still gettin goosebumps after all this years! This is Belgian EBM history!
@hankscorpio89285 ай бұрын
I couldn’t imagine seeing 242 at 16. My head would have exploded and I would have become obsessed with EBM / Industrial Dance and listen to the classics every day till 50 years old. Instead I saw them at 18 and the same thing happened except I qualified for a credit card and bought a sampler.

I discovered them exactly one year after this gig, in the fall of 86, and just before the release of Official Version. I was 16. I saw them live when they toured in 87 with that release, and that's still the best concert I've ever been to (including the 4-5 times I've seen them since).

I saw Front 242 in Chicago in 2004 or 2005 for the first time at a place called The Congress theater, and the place is not a lovely venue for concerts. Fast forward to 2020 they were gonna play at the Metro which is an awesome venue, but it got cancelled due to the Corona Virus, so, the concert was rescheduled for April, 2021, so i dont know when they may play again. This pandemic screwed up everything. Welcome to paradise. Lol

4:39 I love how he downplays his own genius. We all love Richard, Jean-Luc, and Patrick but as their military aesthetic would dictate- what you see operating on the surface is but a function of the cause, lying beneath. And that “cause” is Daniel Fu&$?ng B. Individually the “Front 3” are: a painfully shy and introverted technical genius, the angriest man in Belgium (who is being forced to sing to massive crowds of people he hates) and the poster boy for ADHD. Individually I’d hate all three of them. But Daniel B. said “If these three beautiful outcasts can be balanced in certain proportions, music will be changed forever.” Front 242 are not only the best / most important band of the “Industrial Dance” days but they are one of musics most iconic and enigmatic brands- through 1991. (After that they let their guard down, which was a shame.) Anyhoo. Daniel B. is the man.
