Last Tour's Politics!!!

Think I mentioned earlier in this Blog that there were a lot of things I’d wanted to post about, but that it would be a bad idea to post about such things, given the fact that many people back at Band’s Camp were still a little sore about what went down on the last tour. “Don’t go bringing up last tour’s politics” Well, things have settled down now, and… don’t really want things to settle too much now so – figured I’d come along, disturb the waters again so to speak.


Portrait of Eve

A big area of controversy, on this tour was the battle of Eve vs. Demi-Luke. Fans still remain split down the middle in a bitter fight over which is the better guitar player.


One of the tamer pre-show debates… no biting in this pic sadly.

As some of you familiar with Celestial may well know, there have been MANY incarnations of the band. Such a rotating roster, over the years of the band, it has had over 20 different members. Midsummer – my friend & fellow Gard - put it best, when to a drummer when mentioning he’d once been Celestial, “Big deal, who hasn’t been at this point.”

Yet while the line up is constantly in flux, one member in particular, has logged the longest stint with the band was Eve. Standing nearly six feet tall, with wild purple hair and day glow w green eyes – and always in torn leather and lace, Eve was a graceful, brutal beauty. Her fiery stage presence and energetic guitar playing made her a fan favorite for years. Eve endured more tours, stage fights, overdoses, internal politics & fan wars then any band member who proceeded her, and was loved nearly as much as Celestial. No one would have ever imagined her leaving.


Just blurry enough…

And yet mid tour, and with no apparent reason at all, Eve abruptly announced her departure from the band just hours before a show, sending shockwaves though-out the Celestial community. The fans were still reeling in horror and disbelief, when Eve made another stunning announcement; she had a successor, her son. “Celeste, I’m leaving. Don’t worry; my son will take my place. He’s just as good a guitar player – if not better.”

This was mind blowing, no one, not even Celestial knew of Eve’s son! Sure, Eve got around, but a son? But it was true! Some how - Eve, who is no more then 28, was in deed mother a 22 year old son, Demi-Luke – and he was in fact an amazing guitar player!

As Sound check proved to Celestial, Demi-Luke could “-not only fill his mother’s boots, but take Eve boots, kick Eve up the ass with her boots, pull them out of her ass – puke on them, set them on fire, lick the vomit off, and spit it back into his mothers eye.” With such a glowing review, you’d think little Demi-Luke would have been better received; yet many fans remained unconvinced.


Another Gloriana shot.

Demi-Luke was going to have to do some crazy shit to live up to his mother’s legacy. Let me tell you, that kid didn’t waste any time. –More on Demi-Luke’s first show tomorrow. For now, I’ll leave ya with this: As to Demi-Luke’s father, it is a complete mystery. Eve slept with so many damned rock stars, it could be anyone. No one, not Celestial, Demi-Luke or even Eve herself has any clue as to who that boy’s father is.
