AXLAUSTADE on “axl au stade:”
“It’s a clin-d’oeil to the riot that took place in 1992 at the Montreal Olympic Stadium, after Axl Rose told everybody to go home and quit the stage 20 minutes or so in the set. Metallica’s show was also stopped when James Hetfield was badly injured by pyrotechnics. Faith No More was the only band that played an entire set that night. The Expos were in Philadelphia that night. The song opens with feedback and a massive drum and bass guitar pickup. It gives the impression that you’re in the middle of the crowd. The guitar plays a solid theme and switches from minor to major which gives the feeling of openness and urgency.”

AXLAUSTADE language of an era
a decade of used illusions and promising riffs
he remembers the eighth of august nineteen-ninety-two in turmoil and decibels
but prefers to imagine things differently
he likes the optimism of various reverbs and birdsongs
AXLAUSTADE towards a silkier new beginning
dozens and dozens of hours jamming in a dark room
and luminous mornings
AXLAUSTADE forgot some of his alternate tunings
all ears to mysticism and rodeo stories
he dreams of a daytime festival and of something to offer
AXLAUSTADE lyricless soundtrack to made-up stories
love of music
lifelines running deep in hand palms
after an albini rendezvous gone kaput
after a cry in the night heard by a mixer of the american west coast beaches
after the feedback of small amplifiers under a plexiglass of freedom
three boys and a pair of electronic bongos
grunge of the future as a new path
an instrumental friendship
979 years before the third millennium AXLAUSTADE invites himself into your home
no sweat
played by steve dumas, francis mineau and jonathan dauphinais
he is now ready to befriend you
