SODOM
Long
time ago, I've seen 'Sodom' playing live at the Marquee Club in London
in 1990. The only thing left from this event is one picture (shown in
the diary section). Bet I remember very well at this occasion. 15 years
have gone, but time has forgotten abot mastermind tom Angelripper, at
least what's up to his look. He did'nt change at all. At this time, I'd
never thought it'll take another 15 years to Sodom playin' live. But
tonight, here and now they are back again, and to be honest, I'm here
with some mixed feelings, exspecially because the two supportbands
didn't make me jump off my shoes and meet my expectations. Jesus wept....
no I'm wrong. - Sodom aka Tom Angelripper didn't age at all. It's wild,
it's crazy like Sodom & Gomorra, at least what's up to the audiance.
'Ausgebombt' is the slogan of the evening. Yep, these boys didn't forget
their business, and they rock like nuclear explosives fired from a jet
flying deep. And again I remember my days as a radio dj of a Heavy Metal show. Most wanted song: - no it wasn't AC/DC or Motorhead... it was Sodom with their hymn 'Bombenhagel'. And if i played 'Aufgebombt' instead, I honestly got killing threats. Comparing these trackwishes with a billboard chartlist, Sodom would easily knock out the Rolling Stones. It is also very interesting to watch, that those kinda bands do so much better here in Germany than all these so called Melodic Rock bands or True Metal Bands. (I still hate these expressions) this here is no theatrical bombast or soapy melodic sound but straight through the eye Heavy Metal without taking any compromises. And over all, behind Sodom's music there is a certain strategy, a wide spread system and no senseless thrashmetal noise. The spectrum is broad filled with 20 years of Sodom - Metal material. And even one new track is included, which will be featured on a future new studioalbum due sometime next year. But before that, we gonna get a new Live DVD in Oct. You can name Sodom a german institution. Old vine but very tasty. And the best thing is, - despite of some german lyricy, they do not sound german. That's great. Congratulations boys - very good indeed. And please - on your next german tour, please do get a promoter who includes a date in munich. Otherwise we are really 'ausgebombt'.- view also Diary & some more Live Pics here |

Juliette & The Licks
I have
to admit, I'm not a person with a killer instinct. But tonight I'd
almost become a murderer - while taking pictures. Christ....!! Ths is
simply madness, what's going on here, exspecially at the very front of
the stage. No photopit in sight, but useing a flashlight - strictly
prohibited. Sodom and Gomorra is a peaceful garden eden compared with
this here. And Juliette is the eye of the tornado. This woman is a
earthquake, a 100.000 volt energy package. She's rather small and skinny,
but she's got a great and powerful voice. She is selfconfident and knows
to put herself in the right spotlight. If you think about the fact, that
Juliette Lewis is a famous Hollywood actress, who normally steps on the
red carpet of the Chinese Theatre at the Oscar awards in a Valentino or
Versace dress - worth a 50.000 bugs, then you can't almost believe this.
Because tonight right here, right now, she is a noisy rock'n'roll
bitch, dressed in a sweaty T-shirt, Jeans and boots and gives everything
including two powerful stagedives into the audiance. She is carried away
on top of the heads of the fans, like a godess, who experiences a
multiple orgasm as a punky Hardrock Lady. Juliette
has release a minialbum and full CD named "You're speaking My
language" so far. And this is, what she, or better we are doing.
Yes this is dirty rockmusic, very loud and hot, which ain't nice
for my feet, getting tortured from all these crazy individuals around me.
- I have truly not experience something like this since the Exploited.
However, my murder instinct is getting stronger, and I hit my camera
into the back of one of these - gone wild . lunatics. I'm just trying to
get at least a few decent shots - with a flashlight by the way. I don't
care anymore. Otherwise no pictures at all, would have been possible in
this boiling oven with the rather bad light. |
