There were the occasional shy mohawk, the occasional irreducible rocker with tattoos and leather jackets.
But, above all, what there were were many gray hairs and quite a few bald spots.
However, despite their age, those attending last night at the
WiZink Center in Madrid
at the first of the two
Siniestro
Total
farewell concerts
(the last one will be today)
gave it their all: they went into a trance, they did not stop jumping, chanting Shouting the group's songs
... There was no spitting, but in a nostalgic tribute to the band's most punk years, some plastic cups filled with beer even flew into the air.
Total Loss is over
.
One of the most thuggish, blatant, irreverent, fun and politically incorrect groups on the Spanish music scene has come to an end.
After no less than 40 years playing (both music and noses), what had become
one of the longest-running bands on the Spanish music scene
dissolved.
Not even they thought they would last so long.
But there they are, with 40 years of uninterrupted musical career behind them,
14 published studio albums
, several compilations and five live albums, in addition to numerous songs that have reached mythical status.
"Total Loss, 40 years without stepping on the National High Court"
, these two farewell performances have been baptized.
A very appropriate title, because let's be honest:
half of Siniestro Total's lyrics today would be denounced by various 'offended'
.
There are as proof songs like
Better to be a punk than a beach fagot
,
Today I'm going to kill
you ,
Spain takes drugs
,
My girlfriend's tits
,
Kill hippies in the Cíes
,
How much bitch and I'm so old
,
Ayatollah (don't touch my pirola )
,
I will dance on your grave
,
how are you, homosexual?
either
Peoples of the world, become extinct
, several of which were played yesterday at the farewell concert.
Before Los Siniestro began to play, and as is the tradition in many of their live performances, the chords of the old television series "Miami Vice" were played.
Seconds later, the members of the Galician band jumped on stage and started with "Tan Hermoso", whose first verse reads:
The little birds sing, the clouds rise / The flowers in the field, two nuns dealing / The morning sun that enters through your window / Rocío in the meadow, a raped child
.
And, from there, all his great songs, in
a great concert that lasted a couple of hours and that took the public to the apotheosis
.
"The origin of all evil, of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, of the war in Ukraine is the same: Spain takes drugs"
, assured Julián Hernández, the founder and leader of the group, the only member of the band's original formation that has remained in it during these four decades, before undertaking it with that subject.
For the encore, of course,
I will dance on your grave
, and the Wizink Center went crazy.
Shortly after the lights came on and the attendees began to leave, still hypnotized by Siniestro's music and by having seen the
last concert of a mythical group
that has been making music for 40 years.
"We are very sorry, it will not happen again"
, read on stage.
Very Sinister.
