If you asked me, who is the funniest
Rock'n'Roll band all over the place, - there is actually only one. Or
should I rather say - one again. It's Vengeance from the Netherlands,
the land of the cheese heads as we say so over here ( don't worry, I luv
ya' - honestly)
Apart from that, Vengeance are truly a great live band with an even
greater vibe thanks to a phantastic, somhow extraordinary aura. I mean
that and don't play with compliments. Because however close I know a
band, it certainly doesn't influence my opinion about a live performance.
'
But those dutch guys are entertainment indeed, most of all their
frontman Leon Goewie, who next to guitarist Jan Sommers - are the only
two original members from back in the eighties. And these two don't seem
tired or old at all. This is party up there on stage. Unfortunately not
so in the audiance here in Augsburg at the Spectrum club. And I always
thought, those kinda sleepy pills only exist in Munich (which is about
one hour drive) No surely not, the Augsburg fans seem be in a rather
lethargic mood tonight. Jes.... we are not at a funeral of passed away
cockroaches, but at a rockconcert. Weak up for christ sake! These guys
sit around those small round tables and don't get their arses up . And
Vengeance are certainly not the Vienna choirboys or the Don Kosaken
choir.

Thanks god, the
Vengeance boys have enough routine to ignore this dead mood here and
celebrate their own party up there. A party which slowly takes it's toll
at the audiance to make 'em wake up.-
The show itselves hasn't changed much. Our frontclown still spills a big
glas of beer over his head, followed by a bottle mineralwater later on.
And he puts on those funny fancy costume when performing the Vengeance
classic tune 'Arabia'. And now everybody is fortunately wide awake in
the end, although still hesitating to show up in the front.
However, Vengeance have once again proved, that they are a classy
liveact, having a great day on this very first one of the tour... and
they deal easily with every kinda situation, like the one tonight.... no
problem at all....

Mat Sinner, a german institution of the Heavy Metal genre comes on next
with a new line up. But you won't realize any insecurity at all.
Probably, because of including such well known names as Henni Wolters (Primal
Fear- Mat Sinners other band) and Christoph Leim (Traceelords)
both on guitar. They all know each other from before and for a long
time. So they can manage easily. I personally have a slight problem with
the voice. But I'm not sure, whether this is a personal feeling or the
average tenor.

Never mind....‚Mask Of Sanity’
is the centerpoint and wants to get promoted. The life of this CD is
still in it's start holes.
At least, now there is life in this room, and every sleeping pill has
finally got up from his chair. The only weak point at this performance
is this once again very german touch and note. But who cares - it rocks
anyway.
Very interesting is another aspect. Either people have come here only
because of Vengeance, or only because of Sinner. I seem to be the only
one, who came for both of them. But as we say so - same chance for
everyone - it's only Rock'n'Roll
Over all it is a very entertaining evening without too high expectations,
a lot of fun and Music. And I think, in the end all those Vengeance fans
have been entertained at the Sinner show as well and the other way round.
Otherwise everybody would have come either late or would have left early.
But nobody did.
The visit to here has been definately worth while....
