Long time I haven´t been around. *sweat drop*
I may try to make some reviews/comparisons between lives. But for now some comments.
I can hardly believe Mana showed the middle finger. Sounds unlikely. So my recommendation to everyone is to consider a LOT more possible that it was just that he had the pic between his fingers.
That woman that is rumored to be Mana´s Wife is
YUKI ITO the manager of M10M (and possibly Malice Mizer), ruler/owner of Midi:Nette, nominal owner of Mana-related web domains, etc etc etc. So, Yuki Ito is the top boss in there with/after Mana. She´s been around forever.
I can´t believe is that someone who got the trust of people to get a pass in and make an interview would be as unprofessional and irresponsible to start suggesting it´s Mana´s wife. Even if she does is his wife, you should not be telling about it at all. It´s not about it being true or not (no one knows and most of us doesn´t cares) it´s about being minimally professional and responsible. You got the trust to get an interview. Please, don´t betray that trust by spreading rumors and private details in an online forum. Sorry if I come across as a b**ch. My English is never good enough to avoid coming across in a nasty way even if it´s not my intention. But I think it needs to be said. I find that spreading that rumor in such a place from your advantaged position is highly irresponsible.
Salutation to Ma_Cherie. NICE meeting you! Also to Morgan Ivy (I´m the freckled girl we spoke a few words, I don´t know if you can remember me at all).
About Madrid live. Basically same as everywhere else. Seth seemed more energetic than in Barcelona. But no snake dance (as far as I know Madrid is the only concert in whole tour where he didn´t do it). But his new tongue fetish do was there, with a vengeance. O_O Apparently he started doing it in Milan. I had never noticed it before Barcelona but someone mentioned it in Milan.
Same goes for Mana recording the audience. They started doing that in Milan, they also did it in Barcelona but not in Madrid.
Barcelona was white costumes *much love for those costumes*. Madrid was black (I do prefer the black costume for Mana).
Barcelona we estimate around 600/550 tickets (almost sold out, room full). Madrid we guess around 300/350? (room half-full).
In Barcelona there was that shitty accident with the white mask. It wasn´t done on purpose. just that someone didn´t think straight and instead of handing the mask to 1st row to put it away in a corner he threw it on the strange and landed in Mana´s position. Which messed his liberty to move for 2 songs until another girl and me managed to call the security guard (useless lazy b**tard didn´t even try to stop cameras in front rows) to put it out of the way.
Barcelona, in general, audience-wise, sucked something bad.
live house staff didn´t warn about cameras properly, nor did they check half the bags. Audience was a bunch of over-hormonal fangirls screaming nonsense all over the songs. Front rows didn´t hear the 2 1st songs under the screams. We didn´t manage to hear much of instrumental parts either. The pushing was bad but never as bad as Paris (no one can beat the levels of nastiness a Paris concert can reach, it´s one of the reasons why this year I skipped it even if it was the 1st final tour and the live that´ll be on DVD).
Madrid was nice, screams and pushing were there, of course. But much more civil than Barcelona and people did worry about others not getting too hurt.
In Madrid people also got to see them come in and out through the front door. In Barcelona that was impossible since they entered through another door in a different street.
Generally speaking, Moi dix Mois has offered its fans and non-fans wonderful lives. The band with its current line-up has been together for many lives and they´ve become very strong on stage. Seth has always been what we call in Spain a "stage-animal" (meaning people who gets on stage with a strong charisma and takes ownership very fast) and now that everyone in the band is very used to each other it has even more of an impact on the audience. Very very strong lives.
Also, the total mess Germany did with the concerts offered us the opportunity to observe how little problems the band has to go fetch their screams when not offered immediately. Up till now, this last years, all we´ve seen is almost full live houses with a confident (and many time over-confident) audience. But the big sized live houses full to only a 1/3 made the audience kinda shy in Germany so M10M had to warm us up and they did, flawlessly, restlessly. They worked everyone up until any kind of shyness was gone. The circumstances sucked for the band, of course. But it offered us the chance to see a new side of M10M we hadn´t seen yet.
I´m sure I´ll remember more things in the future. I´ll post them if no one else does. But there were Scape member in almost every live.
So it probably won´t be needed, I´m very bad at doing reviews. sorry
