I saw The Hellacopters the first first time in Hultsfred 1996. They weren't playing on the stage. No, they were playing on the backstage area for journalists and other creeps. I was there, me and my camera. I was getting paid for being there, for seeing Cure, Iggy, Björk, Frank Black, Hellacopters and many more bands. I just needed to take pictures for a newspaper. Hellacopters arrived with a helicopter. There wasn't much of a PA to talk about, just a tiny amplifying system for the song. The guitar amps were small Marshalls combos and the sound was bad and extremely distorted. It was wonderful! The guys were screaming and lying on their back in the grass, everybody in the band were slamming their instrument, hitting as much as they could and it sounded like shit. I loved it! What's this? I thought. This is the best band in the world! It sounded like Stooges and New York Dolls and all the great rock'n'roll bands put together, it was pure energy. They ever looked right. The evening went by talking with the sweaty guys in The Hellacopters and drinking their beer. Their record company was buying. In fact, they had a van full of beer with them and it surely didn't make us think less nice things about The Hellacopters. That was The Hellacopters way to promote their brand new first album, Supershitty To The Max. Well, they fooled me, anyway.
