the vile rot loves you

BEFORE "SPIRIT"

Alright, you Brummies! Come on! Are you ready to face the demons of hallucination?! Good! Hit it! Unf! unf! Unhh!

BEFORE "THE FUTURE IS A FOREIGN LAND"

Voila! You like that? Yeah… It's pretty good. How you doing, Birmingham? Good. Well, it's nice to see you for the first time. Bear with me. All of this is new to me, so… be gentle. [AUDIENCE: NO!] Huh? You're not going to be gentle with me? What's up with you fuckers? How 'bout you? [CHEERING] See! Like nice people. They're gonna be gentle with me… while I have to learn. You have to figure this out in the parking lot, after this. But hey, everything will be ni– good– fine. Once you clear that out, all the fighting is over, you know… You can make it to the future, where everything will be better. Because you know, Brummies, the future is a foreign land.

AFTER "SATANIZED" / BEFORE "RITUAL"

Damn! Are you guys Satanized enough? Then join us… in our ritual! And please give it up for this… injured ghoul! Broken foot. Two fractures. Everybody, a little applause for standing here for y'all tonight… while you rock!

AFTER "RATS" / BEFORE "KISS THE GO-GOAT"

Brummies! Are you still feeling it? Is it a good feeling? You, over in the seats there? Hm? You peoples in the back? Yeah… Good! Alright. Y'all want a kiss?

AFTER "KISS THE GO-GOAT" / BEFORE "MUMMY DUST"

Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! All you Brummies, mwah! Yeah! Are you ready to feel your rumps… [INAUDIBLE]

AFTER "MUMMY DUST" / BEFORE "MONSTRANCE CLOCK"

Woo! Yeah! How 'bout that, Birmingham? Did it shake your rumps? All of them? Did it shake your asses? Good. Now see- now look. We load these cannons up with stuff, and they're all supposed to land where you are. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. And tonight… it worked… poorly! So we have a lot of stuff here on stage that's supposed to go out to you. So we will facilitat– facilitate that with our friend, Mr. Jesus! Yeah! He's not where you want him to be when you really need him. Ladies and gentlemen, Kevin "Jesus" Kaufmann from New York City! Can you dig it?! Can you blow it?! Fantastic. Now you all have to do– Yeah, big applause for Jesus! Now it's up to Richie and all those people here in the front to hand it over to y'all. Now! We've gotten to that point where it's almost, almost… [BOOS] You don't know what I'm talking about! I'm talking about that magic moment when you can all go into the Sunday night of Birmingham and tell the world about your wonderful evening. [WEAK CHEERING] That's pathetic. I said, you're about to go tell the world what a wonderful night you had! And how much you enjoyed it! So don't "Ehh!" We're having fun, right? I thought so. We're gonna do one more song. [BOOS] [INAUDIBLE] What a shitty crowd! I see you're hard to please! I said we're gonna do one song for you! Yeah, that's the spirit! Before we go, though, I'm gonna let bygones be bygones, mmkay? And I'm gonna tell you all, that from the bottom of all of our hearts here on stage, and from the bottom of mine, thank you for being here tonight. Conclusively, I give you Monstrance Clock.

BEFORE "MARY ON A CROSS"

I've gotten the honor to tell y'all it's over. [BOOS] You don't like that? Huh. You're truly negative. So! If you're gonna stick around… might as well play, uh, a couple songs. You like that? You like that, Birmingham? [INAUDIBLE] Well! Luckily, we have a few, uh, extras. [INAUDIBLE] This is an old B-side, actually, that my daddy used to sing. It's pretty rad!

AFTER "MARY ON A CROSS" / BEFORE "DANCE MACABRE"

Marijuana… Ah, fuck that! Alright, put on your dancing shoes, Brummies! You wanna dance~? Do you wanna dance?! A-One! Two! Three! Four! C'mon! Shake it!
