Saturday night I and my friend went to Milano at the social centre (is it the right term?) Leoncavallo to hear the mighty No Means No. We arrived a bit sooner so we had the chance to listen to the opening band, didn't remember the name but was an Italian trio (sax, bass and drums - no voice) who played a techno punk jazz, very skilled and fast players but after 3 or 4 songs they start to become quite boring.At about midnight the Wright brothers and their guitarrist came on the stage and begin to play, they started with old songs , sex Mad and Rags and Bones. The sound was quite bad at the beginning, I couldn't listen the drums, but after 2 or 3 songs it became better (I think it was the guitar who covered the other instruments). It was funny to see these, I think at least these 50 year old mans, coming on stage and rock hard, Bob Wright seems Popeye of the cartoon to me because of his expressions... They played for 2 hours almost with no stops, and I was very happy because they did one of my favourite songs : The River. Unfortunately it happened a bad thing, one or more huge moron (drunken or whatever...) did some thing to Rob (I didn't see because I were near the mixer) who get very upset, first he tell his disappointment shaking his head and through the microphone between the songs, then he stopped the songs they were playing, put down the bass, go to the moron and push him away for what I could see, then when he returned to the stage said "You are a fucking moron, get lost!" very loud and clear because I understood very well. At the end of the songs they saluted and went away very quickly, fortunately they returned soon ,I think because of Jhon who was more calm and played another 3 songs, then they go away again, after they returned for the people who were shouting "No Means No", and played another 2 or 3 songs. From the first of these sad episode Rob never looked to the crowd while plaiyng. They finished at about 2,10 in the morning and I returned at home at about 3,30, but except for these dickheads it was a fantastic show!!! If they come near your city and you like good hard core-punk go to see them without esitation, but most of you already know that...
