... and again the slogan is - sold out! Which means aprox. 2.500 units in our Munich Tonhalle, partyl very young fans, but also some of the older generation like me, well shaked and stirred. Most of us have heard about the name of the band. But not many know 'em really. Even I am not not a big specialist of this group, and I see them for the very first time live on stage. And such a thing doesn't happen very often anymore with me. That's why I'm even more interested. . Support comes from Scotish-Threesome ‚Biffy Clyro’, which I have heard of for the very first time..... This here is Simon Neil (voc/Git),
James Johnston (Voc/Bass) and drummer Ben Johnston. The band comes from a
little town named Ayr, which is about one hour drive from Glasgow. And
they started out in 1995. In the year 2000 the released their first debut
EP ‚thekidswhopoptodaywillrocktomorrow’, followed by the full album 'Blackened
Sky' two years later. Meanwhile Biffy Clyro have another 3 longplayers
out. There style is some kind of indie rock. What I definately not do right now, is, - to tell you the whole history of the Queens of the Stone Age. Because it would be just too much. I mean, okay, they started off in 1997 and have released 3 EP’s, 5 Albums, 1 DVD and 12 Singles. But it's rather all their different action and side projects, which are so confusing and impossible to overlook like the rainforrest in Brazil. Starting by Kyuss, going over Masters Of Reality, Dessert Sessions 'till the Eagles of Death Metal. Fact is, the Queens of the Stone Age are Josh Homme (Voc.Git) - only, and everything else is temporary. Currently worth to mention is also guitarist Troy van Leeuwen, who is in the band since 2002. Their musical style is called - Stonerrock, whereby, to be honest, you can't really tell. Just name it some kind of Hardrock, but not in the classical sense. 'Era Vulgaris' is the topic and also the title of the new album. Some of the songs tonight sound monotone in my ears, but others do really well with a memory aspect.
Josh looks like a
canadian wood worker at the Yukon Territory, including the typical shirt,
and he jumps in with all the power he is able to. Apart from that, the
mood in here is great and the stagediving is more than busy. There ain't
much more to say about it. And the fans got well served with this
performance. For my own part I would say: not bad at all, but it's not
quite my cup of tea.... But that again doesn't really count here....does
it?!! |
