Jon,
I appreciate your sense of humor.

Thanks. It's mostly a defense mechanism from working with this group. My grandfather always used to say to me, "If you ever meet a German, keep them laughing, and they'll become close with you." Of course, the saying ended in "Then you shiv the fucker in the back when he least expects it." Gramps was a World War II vet, and he never quite re-acclimated to a more tolerant world afterwards.

What is the name of the band?

Einsturzende Neubauten is the former name. Flaumige H”schen is the new one. They haven't released anything under the post 9-11 name yet. A link to their bio on CDNOW is below.

Anyway, I can sell you any amount BIG OR SMALL. We accept CREDIT CARDS. Let me know EXACTLY WHAT SIZE YOU WANT, AS WELL AS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO SOUND LIKE.

I need:Thickness x Width x Length.

Jeez, if memory serves, the old plates were about 4 feet wide, 2 feet long, and about 2 inches thick. I'd need 3 of them. As for what they sounded like... they sounded like a whole lot of clanging noise to me. I'll have to fire off a discrete note to one of their producers about what they expect from metal, so I'll have to get back to you about that. I can't believe I'm actually inquiring about this. It's embarrassing. I've got to look into a gig tour managing a folk singer or something like that. Someone sulky with an acoustic guitar.

I know the details aren't fleshed out yet, but do you have any sort of ballpark figure or range about how much this might run given the info above?

If you want ROUND BARS, I need to Know Diameter and LENGTH.

Based on your sound and pitch and reverb needs etc etc.... I can take an educated (more educated than someone not involved in metals... like you!!!) As to which grade you need!

OK, I'll contact the producer soon. I'm having a stroke of genius though... do you guys make steel drums, or is that something totally different from what you do? Maybe if I just order those instead and surprise the group with them, they'll go for it. I haven't seen that many steel drum band concerts, but I don't think it's possible to play one of those things wrong. I think it would be great to see them pounding away at the things with their usual fiery intensity only to produce soothing Calypso music. Then I could book them on cruise lines instead of the standard crappy venues that only willfully obscure bands like them can get gigs at.

Maybe they could even become successful, or at the very least tolerable! Who am I kidding, they'll just set the things on fire, and leave me holding the bag when the club owner gets mad. OK, scratch the steel drum thing. Just let me know the ballparks for the slabs. Thanks.

Must.... get.... out... while... alive...

Jon

Cheers,
MAson
