June 1st, 2010
It seems like a typical Tuesday evening in London, UK. But for many people, it marks the end of a huge sensation that has hit the mainstream few years ago. The place of the funeral is The Roxy.
*Backstage*
Fat Chance: This is it. In less than 10 minutes we hit the stage as The Prisoners one last time.
Favorite Son: I think I'll throw up.
Extraordinary Girl: I'm glad I haven't eaten anything over the past couple hours.
St. Jimmy: *lights a cigarette* Yeah.
The Waiting Room were finishing up their last song, the roadies were finishing up tunning their instruments, the venue was at its full capacity, people were enjoying every second of that concert. The atmosphere was perfect. There was a huge poster behind the band with a coffin in it.
"The Prisoners! The Prisoners! The Prisoners!" The crowd was screaming after The Waiting Room left. That was it.
*The band enters the stage*
Fat Chance: Hello, hello, London! What a warm and amazing night for a funeral! We have something special to begin our lovely night. Face this as foreplay *laughs*. This is a song by a dutch band called Heideroosjes. I want to see you all jumping and fucking enjoying today!
They play the song, with some people on the crowd singing along. They couldn't blame the audience, the song wasn't really that famous, but it was perfect to begin the 'Funeral Concert' as they called.
Fat Chance: Enough covers for now. Favorite Son, care to begin the next one...?
Favorite Son screams the beginning of 'Charging, Comrades!' while playing the initial guitar riff. Now almost the whole venue was shouting the words at the top of their lungs. Next they play another one of their last album, Stalingrad, with Fat Chance shooting at the air with a toy riffle.
Fat Chance: Enough of the funeral thing now. *the huge poster with a coffin falls and the word 'Anger' shows up behind, on huge letters.*
Today we're here to celebrate something that will always be present in humanity, and it's the main weapon to changes. I want everyone screaming with me 'anger is an energy!'.
'Anger is an energy! Anger is an energy! Anger is an energy!' *crowd screams with Fat Chance*
Favorite Son: HELL YEAH! This is a good crowd!!
Fat Chance: Now for the nest songs I want to call someone special, that you all already know. Mary, or should I say Haushinka?! Come over here!
Mary enters the stage with the crowd screaming and clapping. She needed to play at the final concert, after all, she was the bass player on all albums except the last one. The band was now playing with two bass players and they soon follow to play 3 old songs, Kill the Rich, Kiss This UK and English Idiot. Fat Chance gives his guitar to Mary so that he can interact more with the crowd on the next two songs, Capitalist Pig and A New War Approaches. Most of the crowd were going crazy with all the old songs and Mary back at the stage.
Fat Chance: Mary plays guitar better than me! For next song, we have another special guest. *gets a doll with a mohawk, leather jacket, spiked bracelets, etc* This is our little rebel. Guess what song is next?!
The crowd goes crazy with Fat Chance playing with the doll while singing Mommy's Little Rebel. They follow playing Mommy, Can I go Out and Protest Tonight?.
Fat Chance: Now say goodbye to little rebel. Or better. To honour our concert today, I want everyone to think of the person or thing you hate most on this world... Now I want you to concentrate all this anger on our hands and...
He throws the doll at the crowd, which is quickly teared apart in small pieces by the angry fans.
Favorite Son: That's what I like!!
Fat Chance: Beautiful guys, just beautiful. Jimmy, care to begin next song...?
St. Jimmy: Do it yourselves.
Fat Chance: Someone's on a bad mood today...but fuck him, Favorite Son can sing the next song, right?
Favorite Son: I can try.
Jimmy's response confused the band and fans, but Favorite Son handled Bloody Oil just fine. At least he wasn't refusing to play the drums.
Fat Chance: Our beloved Mary has to go now. But we still have one more more for you!
Mary: Bye guys, I love you all from the bottom of my heart! It was amazing to fell all this energy on stage again, made me feel so alive...Farewell and have a nice life!
Mary leaves with everyone clapping again, and the band starts playing the last song Glory Days Shall Come.
Fat Chance: Thanks you and good night!
The band leave and the crowd starts to shout 'The Prisoners! The Prisoners! The Prisoners!' again. The band returns for the encore.
Fat Chance: Thought we wouldn't be back?! *laughs* We couldn't leave without playing some more songs to you.
They follow up playing the songs everyone was waiting for, The Sound of Freedom, Drowned in Blood and No Fascist Police.
Fat Chance: We're no longer The Prisoners, and this is our last song!
Favorite Son: But first, I want to seriously say that the past years were the best of our lives, and I don't think we'll ever feel as good as we felt when we were The Prisoners.
Fat Chance: We'll miss you guys. Always remember, the revolution never dies! ANGER IS AN ENERGY!
Fat Chance, Favorite Son and some hardcore fans there dropped a few tears, that were soon washed away when they played their last song ever, Never Surrender.
After they left, many fans were crying like children, and backstage Fat Chance and Favorite Son were also crying.
It was a warm and amazing night for a funeral.
