Written Response

July 13, 2006

You have to realize something, my best friend and band mate REP stopped hitting this individual on our own. No security pulled us off the punk. This idiot who got on stage was a big guy, bigger then REP and I. He was obviously under the influence and had the look of fury in his eyes with the intent to harm us when he charged and swung at me with all his might. There is no way this moron was going to be restrained by holding him. There's no way if we just hit him once or twice, he was gonna stop. We simply did what was right. When we saw he was no longer a threat, we stopped and walked away. Let's make this perfectly clear, I'm not onstage to beat people down or insight violence but remember, if need be we will and have reacted accordingly. This story could have gone a completely different way. The headlines might have read "otherwise" if not for the action taken by my crew to keep things orderly!!!!!! I can guarantee that if this chump got me down, he would of kicked me in my head and that would of prompted other individuals to rush the stage and do the same. Then you would have had a full scale riot.

REP and I acted accordingly to protect ourselves and everyone on stage. It was just all too recent and fresh a memory for most "Metal" bands and fans, that on December 8, 2004, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, and 3 others were murdered when a gunman, took to the stage and began shooting during the band's show in Columbus, Ohio, USA.

WE WEREN'T GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!!

The most ridiculous thing about all of this is that it was prompted because of the music we played. I mean you don't have to like us, that's fine. Go grab a drink, sit down, boo us, that's totally cool, you have a right to your opinion, but rush the stage and attack us? I mean what the Fuck is that? Even throwing things at us like beer and popsicles, and other objects is just silly. Popsicles are really silly. That made me laugh, I'm still laughing. However I would like to
point out that even when we had various objects thrown at us, we never once lost our cool and remained professional.

This is to the narrow minded people at SENSATION BLACK. So you had to listen to something you never heard before. BOO-FUCKING-HOO!!!!!!! "Jeez guys I never heard this music before, I think it sucks. Duh, I got a "brilliant" idea, let's throw popsicles at the Artist, then let's jump on stage and attack him. After all its music and if I don't
like it I have every right to commit acts of violence"

As far as GEEing different;

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT TO BE, JUST AHEAD OF THE CURVE, SETTING TRENDS, NOT FOLLOWING THEM …THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN JUST "BOOM BOOM BOOM". SURE, WE HAD SOME OF THAT, YET, WE"VE CREATED MUCH MUCH MORE THAT THE EAR OF THE FREE-MINDED WILL APPRECIATE"

ID&T, Duncan Stutterhiem and I share the mission of moving the music forward, that's what makes our choices of music and line ups so exciting. We both take the risks to keep it fresh CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO!!!!!!

I love Holland - I love what it stands for, I'm fascinated by it's history and I love it's people and culture! Arguably a most influential environment for music, art and philosophy. As we know - Rene' Descartes spent the last 20 years (1628-1649) of his life in Holland and was most productive during this time. I'm no Descartes and my methodology and music, won't be bringing about the transition of medieval science and philosophy to the modern era. I'm just Rob GEE making my moves to keep the music evolving! That open-mindedness is what I've always know the Dutch to have and I look forward to that kind of support from my Dutch fans and all my fans around the "uni"verse, not the attack we endured at Sensation Black!"

YOU NEVER GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE WITHOUT TRYING NEW THINGS.
THAT'S HOW I ALWAYS LIVE MY LIFE, THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sensation Black 2006

Hi Rob,
i´m into tekkno, electronic hardcore, gabber and industrial since 1991 and a few of your early productions (especially riot squad on 12gauge) are in my alltime top ten. you´ve influenced my style of music!

in the early and mid ninetees there was no harder producer as you. i´ve visit a lot of parties where you´ve played as a dj or as a live act. i remember a night in germany where i´ve met you and dj narotic. of course i´ve got all your
records till 2000. the first track from you i didnt like was the "ecstacy you´ve got what i need", unfortunately maybe the most famous gee-track in the gabber-scene. also the adam-productions are not my style. your project ampt starts interesting, but there are no releases.

i dont visit the sensation black party but when i´ve heard what happened, i cant believe it. fuckin hardstyle people!
keep on making music! a lot of real people recpect your work, your project and your person!
for your future: 110% enerGEE!
all the best from germany
