Where is insane clown posse today

That makeup never gets old. Still, not all is rosy in the world of ICP. The departure came after J found out Garcia was secretly dating his niece. Like, hot tears shooting out of my eyes. The Fred Fury character is the personification of regret; fighting back and taking control of your destiny is a major theme of the album.

Nitty man I hope this comes out right man. Sittin here holding you're book- and I do feel awkward saying this to a ninja and to ninjas Juggalos and Juggalettes All systems are now go at JuggaloGathering. A stirring arises from the ash as the earth awakens and trembles. A flicker of hope bursts into flame. It wasn't until their album, released through Disney's record label, Hollywood Records that Insane Clown Posse gained success, reaching number 63 in the Billboard , with the album eventually being certified platinum and selling 1.

Mainstream success arrived in with their record, "The Amazing Jeckel Brothers" which reached number four on the Billboard Charts, finding a growing fan base for their brand of hardcore hip hop and shock metal.

They have developed a strong fan base, with their music achieving cult status. Their legions of fans describe themselves as 'Juggalos,' with Insane Clown Posse organising an annual 'Gathering of the Juggalos,' a festival for their fans and other affiliated artists.

With a steady release of records, Insane Clown Posse have achieved significant success, selling 6. Their fan base is so dedicated that it caused the FBI to describe the 'Juggalos' as "a loosely organised hybrid gang" in a report in , which prompted the members of Insane Clown Posse to sue the FBI for their assertion. I'll start by saying that I have been a fan of ICP for around 18 years, their recent albums may not have captured me in the same way as their earlier work but I still enjoy their output and had huge expectations for their return to the UK.

I was fortunate enough to attend their gig 14 years ago in London and as such had an idea of what to expect, however nothing truly prepares you for an ICP gig Within minutes of entering the venue the the sense of a festival atmosphere was present with artists already on stage, this continued with an array of support forgoing the traditional lengthy gaps and instead operating an almost seamless set of different artists until the stage was concealed behind thick plastic sheeting in preparation for the main event.

The support were entertaining to excellent and Mushroom head, who shared top billing, were truly amazing, creating a work of visual mastery acting as a demented metal based blue man group with colourful drums filled with liquid and a synchronicity between band members again calling to mind a choreographed west end show not a metal band.

However Mushroom head, decked in their unique uniforms truly personify theatricality in metal and after a similarly long absence from the UK as ICP, expectations were high and they delivered.

Opening with Qwerty was also a master touch as this set the scene and left little choice but to be drawn into their performance. When the aforementioned curtain was finally erected i was front row, a feat I was unable to achieve 14 years previous and one I honestly did not expect to achieve this night.

This only served to heighten the anticipation and excitement as the crowd began chanting as the demented riddle box era circus music played serving as a short intro to the abrupt drop of the thick plastic curtain revealing two of the longest serving hip hop artists in the world today.

Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope who looked as though they hadn't aged in the intervening years, opened with Hokus Pokus from The Great Milenko, a song I, and the vast majority of the surrounding juggalos knew the words too and immediately drew a booming reaction from the crowd.

Thankfully, despite some of their more recent output having merit, ICP choose a set consisting almost entirely of their well known classics, this was well received by the partisan juggalos audience, who like I, seemed to be largely long serving fans who's favourite ICP moments consisted of Riddle Box, Milenko, Jeckel Bros and the nearby eras.

Of course as is to be expected from an ICP show I was soaked in faygo within seconds of them taking the stage, I somehow managed to avoid this when seeing them previously. It does add to the show in a strange way, as long as you avoid taking a direct hit in the eyes which isn't overly pleasant. As the show continued we became steadily wetter as a variety of characters and girls took the stage and assisted ICP in soaking the audience in faygo.

The show was a constant assault of classic songs punctuated with faygo showers, a seamless carnival cavalcade from a band who know their art and shows this in a well produced and flawless presentation. As the night drew to a close we were left with the cold walk to the station, sticky and wet from the nights events but satisfied in the knowledge that the world's most "hated" band had once more performed in front of one of the world's most dedicated fan bases and exceeded all expectations.

Read more. Report as inappropriate. We all know how much shit these two guys get for what they do, but love them or hate them, they know their fans and what they came to see. They come out doing their thing, throwing overflowing 2-liter bottles of Faygo diet root beer into the audience as they mosh furiously. I got pretty soaked and after about 10 minutes of being in that pit, I had to get out because I was being thrown around so hard.

By the time I got out, my hair and shirt were covered in root beer. It makes it far more fun and less stressful. As for the actual performance, they're doing the thing they've always done, the thing they love to do and they've clearly got the idea down because they really put on one hell of a show. They don't leave it all to themselves, too, dressed in horror-style clown outfits come out throwing confetti, streamers, more bottles of Faygo and even entire buckets full of Faygo into the crowd.

They also didn't stop there, keeping it fresh by inviting all the female fans Juggalettes on stage with them to keep showering the crowd with Faygo, and later, during the last song, basically anyone that wanted to be onstage was allowed up there, it seemed.

It was total anarchy, but it was pretty amazing to watch and was never truly out of hand. Overall, they put on a damn good show, and not only do the duo themselves make sure it's a show to remember, but the loyal fanbase of Juggalos that come out to see them make sure of it to.

It doesn't matter how much of the music you know or which acts you came to see, if you're there, you're a part of the family.

Say what you will about the Insane Clown Posse, their label and Juggalos, but they are some kickass people and make for a night to remember. They rarely visit the UK, a wrong that at least people, according to the Facebook campaign dedicated to the cause, believe should be righted immediately; maybe head over there and lend your support if you agree. With longtime music partner Shaggy 2 Dope and his brother, Robert Bruce, alongside him onstage, Violent J said ICP will be scaling back its concert activity from here out.

That will include a farewell tour next year with dates in the U. The group would continue to play once a month and stage its special events, including its yearly Gatherings and the Hallowicked show held annually in Detroit in October.
