Yiiippiiieehh...
yep, I can only give you one advice. If you are suffering from an
unbearable headache, and you need some medicine, then please get one
which is called - Exploited. And I guarantee you to melt the snow from the
amazonas rainforest,- that you're healed afterwards from this small
inconveniance named toothache or depressions, - no, you even will feel
this pain like a wellness massage, compared to the power of the universal
aggression of all punk era's. This here is whether party punk like the
Toydolls do so, nor happy go lucky beat it up noise like the UK Subs.
This here is hardcore - 5 dimensional Thrash Punk, 10times
underlined with the presence of Wattie Buchan, whose physical
condition didn't suffer since the early eightees to let loose his
message. |

The
band consist of Wattie and ..... Willy his brother on drums.
Today he wears a fashionable blue eye on the left and he also belongs
to the scottish - fuck The System - demonstrants. In normal life he
rather seems like a kuddly peaceful teddybear. But on stage he beats
the shit out of his instrument, so as if he wants to push the
guinessbook of records into the ancient times with the speed of light
following the strategy - beat the bastards. The two other dreadlock fetchists were
probably babies, when The Exploited first started out to destroy the
posh tea-society. Never mind, Wattie is up there, that's important,
slowly heading towards his fivetees, with at least 175 pearcings
showing his attitude and throwing his message with demonstrating power
on us, including an paradox extrem version of "Dogs Of
War". Yes of course, these are the nostalgic moments of the glory past. But thanx to the early cultstatus of the band, they never got lost or drowned within the jungle of artists. One more prove tonight is the audiance which consists of two generations old and young, at least 700 within this small venue all together. However the heritage of Punk is secured one more time . Exploited albums only come out occassionally every 5 or 6 years. But Wattie says, that is rather due to the rather poor economy of the music industry. Like the slogan: fuck the system, it can't do any harm to the still very big popularity of the band. And Wattie states: we are no punk zombies of the past tense. The Exploited are like always - explosive, without any compromises, breathless and just pure anachronsism. I personally would say - simply fucking great..... |

You always get surprises, when you least expect them. Jesus wept.... I've seen and heard 'em quite often before. But either they have developed so much further, moved on, or got better, I simply don't know. Everything fits together so well. Respect! The vocals are 100% clear and perfect, despite the small acapella perforance, where we could almost physically feel the huge effort of singer Carsten Schulz shortly before exhaustion. But he did it. And Axel Ritt's guitar performance is a brillant piece of art handled with almost perfection. The main difference between the supportact Mob Rules, who had put down a tight set full of clichee's, and Domain is only one word, and this is "Groove". Mob Rules don't have it. Domain ownes it with lots of action and movement and naked bodies. Even the last mentioned fact is due to the local circumstances and not due to the average pleasure for some females in the crowd. Movement is everything, and Carsten knows how to move, that's for sure. Everything would be so nice, if there wasn't the negative aspect of only 30 units in the audiance tonight. But please don't blame Munich to be a bad place for rockbands. I rather presume, it is the bad weather conditions and the fact of a too late stage time. So some of the fans even had to leave early to get the last train. What a shame is all I can say, because Domain is a great live act and the gig was brillant. Hope they come back soon. Carsten - I see ya' anyway..... |
