No.
i had the privelege of seeing an SRL
show first hand in San Francisco about '89. Definitely one of
the most intense experiences of that period of my life. having
entrails spit at you from a tree shredder is quite
something...
My first SRL experience was "Live TV Coverage of a Short
Excursion Into The Bottomless Pit of Everlasting Fire In June
1981.
<http://www.srl.org/shows/archive/cadillac/livetv.html>
I also attended "A Cruel and Relentless Plot to Pervert
the Flesh of Beasts to Unholy Uses"
http://www.srl.org/shows/archive/cruelplot/cruelplot.html and a few
others, but haven't seen anything since the mid-80s.
they scare me more because they seem
to be venting outwards more, whereas SRL seemed to vent the violence
inwards. they invited the audience to observe, and took no
responibility if a wayward fragment hurt someone, but there seemed to
be no anger or violence TOWARDS the audience.
Some of the events I saw in the early '80s had some pretty
in-your-face acts. Monte Cazzaza had a pneumatic cannon that shot
fluorescent tubes and he enjoy firing them up onto the freeway
overpass. There were also some pretty aggressive flame throwers and a
machine that pulverized blocks of concrete and sent showers out across
the audience.
