Olympiahalle
Duran Duran
My
first thought at the entry of Englands past teenie-pop idols is: my
god, they really kept themselves in good shape over all these years.
Respect! But unfortunately only about 2.500 fans have taken the chance
to check out this. Wherby I am not sure, if they came here tonight
because of the musical performance or the visuall aspect. - And
Duran Duran don't come on stage, they appear, not enthusiastic like in
their high times, but rather quiet and sophisticated. Maybe to show
their aging experience or whatsoever.... |

Metal Church / Chris Caffery
Nothing is as valuable as a glimpse into the past with the eyes of the present. And a nostalgic aura is getting along with it. I just remember, when I went to see the band back in 1991 in London at the famous Marquee Club. When their supportact suddenly was Metallica as part of a joke surprise act, and we were only about 30 people checking it out. It was heaven on earth and the non plus ultra. But getting back from the ancient times ot the very day, this band has only been left with the shade of the past status role. It dumped down. What a shame! This band here shows decent pretty good Heavy Metal, only a bit outta fashion. I feel pushed immidiately 20 years back in time listening to these classical tunes. And it really does get through to the 75 people, who are here today, and they do like it. Metal Church still know how to rock the cradle, that's for sure. And it reminds me at times, when Heavy Metal has had a slight different status in the Musicbiz. There are only two members left of the original line-up, never mind. "Watch The Children Pray" still sound great, and will be their hymn also for the next ten years, when either this style of music had died, or gonne up again for a new era. - However keep on rocking... |

Chris Caffery, yep, he has proved, he can do it also without Savatage or TSO. And he wants to prove himself, that there is much more within him, but only a guitarist. Yes, he can sing and can entertain, and he knows how to treat the audiance. The solotrip is starting successfully, as well as on CD as also live on stage, even he is only the support act tonight. But I'm pretty sure, it won't take much longer and this little rebell will enter the big stages of the world. For now we say: "Europe is beautiful - right Chris! - So take your chance - you own the world. |
