Biography
And now we take a brief and subdued moment to ourselves. It is with a trembling lower lip and three or four sliding tears that we process the news that a euthanasia is imminent. Namely that of GOE VUR IN DEN OTTO. A headstone is still under consideration, but 'They taught their people headbanging' falls seriously short as far as we are concerned. They taught their people to head bang so hard that everyone got a hernia in their neck" seems more appropriate to us. Funeral music then. Let's go for something appropriate and emotional. 'Desecration of souls' by Mercyful Fate is one of those songs where no one can stay dry. 'Vomited anal tract' by Carcass? Really, get us some extra boxes of tissues in time! 'Shout at the devil' by Mötley Crüe? Snif. 'Die with me' by Type O Negative (an aunt loses her self-control and blows a particularly loud cry into the ether) or 'Faith' by Limp Bizkit. The latter is chosen though because the mortician suddenly realizes that in an hour and a half another service will begin and the people urgently need to leave. However, we are not that far yet. Before the Flemish Bud Spencer and Jerom trade the timely for the shadowy realm, they'll stop one last time in 9160 Lokeren, where they'll provide decibels and double bass drums to all the beloved non-believers on Tuesday, August 6. What to expect, you ask? Don't sweat it, you must have spent the last ten years in a very stubborn coma not to know that Messrs. Vermeerbergen and Symons - Bud and Jerom but with tattoos and black t-shirts of, say, Venom and Slayer - are the best metal DJs in the world. Voilà, someone had to say it.
