For example:
Is it true that Daniel Myer used only a pair of sound modules in some of their projects because at one time he had to sell all his hardware? Remember, those were the days that a laptop full of vst's was science and fiction.
What about the Bill Leen impersonator in a German Music Festival? That is epic! (and true).
C'mon post your urban industrial legends?

Not really an urban legend, but I one watched Mark from VNV put both members of VNV's support band in a bin at the same time. I LOL'd.

The trash? I could see that. Mark is a big mofo.
@silikon- sound modules are hardware, they just do not have keys and are usually rackmountable. Do you mean VST's? Software instruments? It would not surprise me. I remember Daniel saying he was working on some stuff on tour in the middle of his flight. He is a true sound architect.

Marilyn Manson removed 2 ribs so he could fellate himself.
anybody ever confirm that there is a Merzbow album that will destroy the speakers of the system it's played on? that musta been a bitch to mix/master.

@ Metaball - I doubt that one. I mean it's technically possible, but mastering houses all have to conform to RedBook standards, which specifically sets out guidelines on exactly how to master a recording do disc without doing such things as blowing up sound systems.
In short, it means it's illegal for glass-mastering plants to print anything that may do so.
And even then, most amp/speaker systems won't really allow you to exceed certain ranges of frequencies... so yeah, possible... but very very doubtful.

There is a cd called Release Your Mind (Relapse records) which contains a warning saying that two tracks (Merzbow 'Crack Groove' and song by Namanax) do not comply to Red Book standards so extreme caution is advised. And actually they are recorded at such a high volume, that if you don't reduce it, it probably will destroy speakers! so go figure...
here's the warning:

Yeah, Decree did that as well. My speakers are absolutely fine.

As far as I remember, we used one Akai 2800i-sampler, a Juno 106-synth, and a Korg 01W/FD (with floppy disk!) for pads and as sequencer on "solutions for a small planet".
Omg, could never do that again, never ever ...
So it´s a pair of soundmodules +1, I guess.
I have a rather nice one, which still goes around in the EBM scene.
In 1993 i was booker for a small venue in the Netherlands, and when i red one day the Edge of U2 fame was into Insekt i thought it might be a good idea to book them for a fun night. So it happened, and we set it up. Insekt came, we had Image Transmission open for them, and unlucky attendence was pretty bad, but hey, i had fun. Image Transmission put up a good show, and then Insekt came along, and that was rather spectacular. And the sound was HARD, and filled with BASS. It was so hard that tiles which were on a outside wall all fell off, and that was a mess. After the show i showed Erik what they had done, and he was pretty amazed by it.
They still go on telling everywhere they made a wall break down when they played the NL in 93. :D

TG had a song in their early setlist that they decided to drop after a female groupie kept on screaming for more disrupting the gig as the vibrations made her coum over and over. Coum Transmissions indeed.
Whitehouse once played the illustrous "brown note" to a live audience resulting in involuntary mass defecation. Whether it was accidental or on purpose is still unknown as none of those present are willing to talk about this traumatic event to this day.

I hate those "noise terrorist" practices of the 90's. Controlled Bleeding did it on their 'Drowning' album. I don't know about speakers, but my eardrums will never be the same.

dsx, so it's true. That makes Solution For a Small Planet even more awesome. And I totally believe DMyer on a plane with his laptop. I think talent count more that a bunch of VSt's. But if I could afford that expensive Wave plugins I will beat DMyer for sure :-P
@stmayhem1: that cover note looks familiar, thanks for the link. another riddle solved.

In an interview with the label head i believe the Namanax cd destroyed 48 customers stereos. several people wrote in pissed because they thought it was an empty threat.
