Reflections from the Museum
A few weeks later he called me – out of his mind angry. The Rigor Mortis tour had been cancelled and now Mike Scaccia was available…..damn ……Al had offered him the keyboard tech gig and he was incensed, furious, and babbling. When I managed to get a word in I advised him…….listen man – take the gig – you’ve been around these lunatics – not everyone is going to make it through in one piece (ha!). Put your guitar in your bunk and be ready. Opportunity will knock.
It was in the car park at Numbers, sitting at the bus stop on the other side that I got to tell him the news……several members had flat out disappeared, and Ogre was still in Miami! He joined us on stage that first night… A couple of weeks later En Esch was badly, badly injured in an apartment fire (the subject of War Ich Nicht on the Pigface GUB album), and he got to jump in for KMFDM too. A few days later and we were in the studio with Steve Albini making the first Pigface album, and then he was on tour with us, then on the road with Thrill Kill Kult and Chris Connelly and I on Phenobarb Bambalam.
Man, alive he was a riotous difficult lunatic at times – well, most of the time. At least the last time we spoke (after some difficulties) we laughed til we cried. So, yeah, Houston Numbers is a legendary club and a great city and damn was that Ministry tour fucking crazy and the mosh pits and the fence. For me, I remember the bus stop. It was magic.
God bless William Tucker and remember, as he would post notes on the filing cabinets at the invisible offices – warning – cats may be asleep inside – slam drawers as hard as possible. ( I framed that one)
This place is just magic! If you’d like to become a founder, you can purchase the Founders’ Package Here, or consider Donating an Item to the museum!
