A day later and I'm back at Phantaz for a youth crew revival show. I'm not sure who set up this show. I don't recognize the email address on the flyer. The most memorable thing about the show was some choice stage banter from the singer of Mainstrike, in choppy English with a Dutch accent. The crowd was pretty tame, as they can tend to be at matinee shows and the singer was really trying hard to get kids pumped up. At one point between songs as he was pacing the stage he shouted, "C'mon! This is a hardcore show, not a walk in the park! Let's go!" As you might expect it didn't fire up the crowd like he might have hoped. I know there was more but I'm drawing a blank right now. The whole show remained pretty tame despite every bands' best efforts to get the crowd going. It was the late 90s and the youth crew revival thing was getting stale.

Funny. We used that 'Not walk ein parrrhhkkk' line with Euro-accent many times when we toured Europe.

That rules. I've been quoting that for years. I know there were a bunch more gems from that show but I'm drawing a total blank right now. Something about how he used to listen to rock and it was all 'lalalalala' but then he found hardcore and he was hooked cuz it was all 'RHAHAHRAHARHARHARHAR'.
