There's one thing, I've always asked myself about. What is the little difference between americans or english and us here? This tiny little something, what makes a Rock'n'Roll performance so energetic and special and most of all moving, like we say - straight between the eyes? And over here, some - not all - musicians seem, as they have swallowed a walking stick as stiff and moveless they act live on stage. However, this difference comes up to my mind, exspecially, when I've got one of these american comparison just in front of me right now....

Vain definately belong to those forgotten diamonds of the californian Glamrock association, who had risen up in the late Eightees within this Glamrock trend supporting Skid Row on their world tour. And this was it. - But just to mention, also Skid Row didn't suffer an everlasting success either.... It just lasted a bit longer. But in opposite to Skid Row, who went off almost completely and nowadays trying hard a come back without their Girlie-Fave Sebastian Bach, who on the other side follows a new solocarrier, - Vain have never got divorced inbetween. They have just moved from a mansion to a smaller souterrain flat, to compare it like this. But we all do this, when money gets short. But I Davy Vain probably doesn't look at this in such terms. He's still insisting on his bay area pratriotism, and surprisingly kept himself quite in well shape for his age. One thing is for sure. The band has left the glam style far behind them during all those years, at least what's up to image, outfit and attitude. They prefer jeans and t-shirts, and yeah okay - sometimes leather pants. The long hair has exchanged with a smart shorter cut. But all these things ain't important and forgotten within 10 seconds. - 

And all this, after this evening almost got destroyed in the beginning. But the holy ghost has given his blessings also over all the fans (those who didn't go to Rock Im Park Festival) and who's patience already plays russion roulett. And we get what we deserve. Not so much of these swedish Glam next generation  hope "Loud'n'Nasty", who really try give the performance something special. Dressed up in Spandex lack and leather and lots of hairspray on their bobs and a sexy politess giving an extra note to it. The exhaustion and trying it hard is honestly jumping outta their powder make up. And this is by the way water resistent. Not so the accoustical side, which doesn't seem water resistent at all and doesn't bring the bucket to the water, as we say so in german. But over all, when these young boys first have learned to put the focus more on their performance instead of their outfit, they could maybe really make it...
