KMFDM was always so ahead of their time. The one thing I've learned as a lifelong KMFDM fan is: KMFDM is always right.

[@ThermalDetonatorTV]

I wouldn't say that. I became a fan over 33 years ago and they were wrong for breaking up and reuniting without En Esch and Gunter Schultz

[@KMFDM_Kid2000]

@@ThermalDetonatorTV I highly disagree. I love classic KMFDM, but they weren't about their lineup. They were about the music. Behind the music were the people. If they couldn't get along, no music. They have a great sound these days. If you're stuck in the past, you can never appreciate the evolution of art. If you disagree, there's always Slick Idiot for you 🤷‍♂️

[@9-11TrueCrimes]

@@KMFDM_Kid2000 The lineup invented their hybrid sound and music kid. Half of those songs in the old days were sung by En Esch, the whole guitar sound came from Gunter Schultz who was the one that taught Sacha had a program music on a computer in the first place. KMFDM post-millennium is not the same band, period. And yes I know about Slick Idiot, I booked their first Hollywood show in 2002.

@@KMFDM_Kid2000​​⁠I have liked some of the post reunion stuff. Blitz and WWIII are amongst my fav KMFDM albums. And I agree people fall out. But the breakup/ reunion seems like a shitty thing to do. As for living in the past, sascha plays old kmfdm song but doesn’t allow NS to play them. Kinda lame I’d say. I have some connects to NS who are in the know and it seems like him and gunther get fucked over pretty bad. I’ve found the last few KMFDM albums to be really uninspired and not very good (same with Ministry). I might be stuck in the past but I hate mediocre.

[@neplusultra4196]

@@9-11TrueCrimesagreed. My buddy plays with Slick Idiot/en esch, although he didn’t at that time. I had the pleasure of hanging out with EN Esch on the Spank Tour. Great guy. Actually En Esch rerecorded buddys song for the spank album. Terrorist in my bed.

[@torchiest]

Every single one of these one interviews, Sascha is smoking a cigarette and En Esch is drinking from a styrofoam cup.

[@TerribleTimes]

Seen these guys live nearly 20 times over the last 25 years, all over the US, Canada, the UK and in Japan, amazing every time !

[@nathanrodriguez780]

Crazy, I was at this show. I was 16 years old at the time...wow. I keep looking to see if I can see my cousin or myself in the crowd shots.

[@mheberling5939]

They were the first band I ever saw live. January 5th 1990, when they opened for Ministry. However, the tour for the MONEY record they shined! Definitely jammed more.

[@d3athr0ck3r]

En Esch is honestly intimidating.

[@caustic_rage]

Nah, he's a fuckin' goof. He came and did a DJ set at Bunker here in LA and I chatted him up after the club closed. He's definitely weird, but he's a kind guy.

[@logix7]

met him at reggies in Chicago during the last slick idiot tour. he was walking around the bar before the show. definitely has a presence about him

His hair is pretty fucking sick

And here in 2012 we are still fighting the censorship battle, having just stopped SOPA and PIPA until both items are written in a way that it protects freedom of speech and artists together.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

It's 2020 and we have a police state, no free speech, zero privacy etc. The people did not speak up and we are paying the price for that.

[@newhoodie18]

I was there!!! They were crazy sounding good live I was lucky too see them.

[@InSingularity]

5:38 - NIN fuck yes

[@ivanvallecr]

It will be great to see those 2 guys recording or performing together again!!

[@The421Damned]

i love this video, thanks for posting =D

[@LBroderickWestCountyHawkWatch]

epic, lector..... from the bleeding stone

[@ChawkletStudios]

So there's a lost En Esch music video for Naïve?

[@xdanrayfieldx]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZyYmqNmacmJkNE Its not lost. its on youtube.

[@0my]

Young Americans, now middle aged: Doh!

[@onephatcat]

Do you have any footage of the 1990 show with Ministry at The Edge? I was at that show, it was awesome!

[@thermaldetonator]

I don't think there is any, in all my days of collecting VHS bootlegs I never came across listings of any bootlegs of ministry or kmfdm, and those were the two bands I was always looking for, as well as skinny puppy.

[@pcaetano7527]

was this from the Feb.6,1990 show?

[@ShortGuy1792]

At 00:59 they misspelled Sascha's name. ;)

[@emanlaerton4017]

They were so much better back then

[@johnran6015]

I think the second era was a better live band myself but the original era had better albums.

[@KMFDM_Kid2000]

Nah, I love Klassic KMFDM a lot, but these days they have a fuller, more aggressive sound. It's not really an either/or proposition anyway. It's the same 40 years of conceptual continuity. Their 90s stuff was amazing, but take any track off of UAIOE for example, put it up against Amnesia, Krank, Let Go, it just doesn't sound as refined. And I'll grant you UAIOE has some iconic songs and lyrics that got constantly referenced throughout the years. Very strong classic album.

4:45 How does he know it so early?

Christ, this is a gaping void of personality.
