this is the tour02 report from el-guapos "captain",thanx "el guapo stuntteam"

18.10 Darmstadt, Germany.
We arrive at the club in Darmstadt at excactly 6pm. Scummy and i hurry our asses over to the tattoo shop for my appointment as the rest of the guys unload the van (suckers!). At the tattoo shop we meet our pals from Skeleton Army who made us feel at home some months before. After an hour of intense pain and blood all over i'm the proud owner of a brandnew tattoo, goddammit i'm gonna score with this one! Back at the club we meet our fellow rockers in The monsters,the band with the balls to take us along on this trip and the drinking and festivities start! Right about show time the place is packed! EGST opens this tour with a hot and steamy set wich leaves the audience screaming for more. Girls faint and boys cry as they see that they will never be as rocking as these fine young men in front of them rocking a stage like never rocke before. Up next come the Monsters and yes they almost blow us out of our shoes with their pure evil 189 percent primitiv rock n roll. Shit!
After their set it's all about drinking but some of us decide to go to a birthday party at some other place and here my dear friends is where the shit is hitting the fan! Two topless chicks dancing on the bar almost jump straight into my arms as Mitch shows his skills as a full developed hardcore scratcher behind the turn tables. Oh yeah, great party! Later on we have some conversations with local punk rockers about country music and Gregor goes toughguy on us by kicking me in the leg! Fun! After being boozed up enough we take a cab to the sleeping place where yours truly sleeps like a baby in his silk sheet king size bed.

19.10 Dortmund, Germany
Waking up is terrible this morning, i wonder why? At Bauer's place we have koffie and breakfast and join the Monsters for a viewing of a Japanese Zombie/gangster movie. Great shit. Then the rest of EGST arrives and after saying goodbye to the kind folks of Darmstadt we hit the road.
The club in Dortmund is huge, a nice and richely filled backstage and a guy, pointed out to be at service for the bands! The guys is kinda weird tough, he looks a little like a smaller version of Ed Kemper and he keeps looking at us like we're going to be next! Anyways, we're save and ready to rock. Even more people as the night before, also here alot of familiar faces, all the people from Munster etc.
Both bands put up some great shows in front of a good 400 enthousiastic crowd. The afterparty backstage is hilarious thanx to the drunken chick most of us don't realy get along with so good. After Ed had kicked us out we sleep somewhere above a bar. Hours and hours i heard the boys partying away as some of us more "responsible" ones trying to get some sleep. And when we finaly did, the party continues! Next to my bed, in front of my bed...KILL!....KILL!!

20.10 Gent, Belgium
For breakfast we are joined by Elvis Pummel, one hell of a great guy we've met some years ago when we toured with The monsters. After this we're on our way to Belgium, this sucks, we where happy to be away from home for a while, but no, back! We arrive at the closed bar in the early afternoon. Seems to be we have to wait about five hours before the owner would show up, fuck that shit! So, Mitch is assigned to be the man for the job and first floor window he goes in and cellar window he comes out. Not able to open the damn bar.
Some hours later we finally get inside. Ofcourse lotsa drinking follows and some people from back home are here, like the girlfriends and some jerks figuring beer would be free. The show is put up by Los Putas, a rockn roll band we're friends with and tonight will be a change of the order the bands will play. The show is allright but all our attention goes into the direction of Los Putas's Go-Go's, Dammit i love go-go girls!
After the show the three bands eat at a turkish restaurant where i find myself in the good company of go go chicks, champagne and good food! A little later we're off headin' home for a good night sleep in my own bed, sadly, no go gos!
