So on comes Mark Arm. He's a got a big nose, he usually wears bad shirts, I wish he was playing guitar, and also throwing in a few mudhoney songs, but tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Rob Tyner of the MC5.
You could tell me was just like a little kid. He was delighted to be playing all these songs from his childhood with his heros.
I remember when mudhoney played at the Melkweg(Another Amsterdam venue, just round the corner from the paradiso), I had only been living in Amsterdam for a few months and to my shame didn't know which door you entered to get to the Bands part of the Melkweg. I walked past the front and saw mudhoney and the catheters sitting at the bar and decided I must be in the right place. I offered to buy them a drink, and they told me that they had free drink and bought me one. Which I thought was pretty cool. They then talked about there car breaking down coming from Paris and having to get it fixed or something. Just a completely down to earth set of guys having a beer. It felt great to confirm that they were just some guys who enjoyed being in a band.
Anyway. He was as good and full of passion and energy with mudhoney as he was with MC5. We even had the in the crowd with a microphone singing to women Jim Morrison style(Maybe its Rob Tyner style - I don't know)
