The - Kills - Stade de France (by Afterdepth)
”“Hey Madison,Thanks for your kind letter. It was a surreal gig. It was a cool experience. I knew those fans would be abusive, the ones down the front that had been standing at the gates two days to be the first at the front of the stage. it’s the way it goes. however, there were a good 60,000 people who were polite… that didn’t know us. unfortunately, they were practically out of view. the place is so HUGE! Our feelings weren’t hurt. It was a character building experience and I was pleasantly surprised that I could hold my own out there. We finished the set with fuck the people. it seemed to be appropriate. It gave me the opportunity to tell all the fans in the first hundred rows to fuck off right back. it was fun! Metallica were very kind to us. They are nice guys and real music fans and it was a honour to get to do that. We all knew going into it that the hardest slot to play was the one directly before them. We were fully prepared to catch hell. I was laughing the whole time. After the show I walked around the stadium, in the stands, in the pit, a lot of people said nice things about our gig to me. It wasn’t all for nothing. Thank you for you sweet words. I take the evening as a learning experience. As a good thing. I mean… it isn’t everyday one gets to stand on a cliff edge with 75,000 people down below, and scream into a microphone that resonates over the size of a city. pretty damn wild if you ask me! lots of love, x alison”
