... and the Swedes are back
again in a double pack.... speak: headliner and the 2nd supportact are from
the land of the midnight sun, yeah sort of... And there we are at the right
topic, because thanks god, there is a third supportband, the opener... Yep
you heard right, I, who usually hate too many bands in one package,
are quite pleased tonight, that there is a threesome. If this first
act would not have been, then I would have missed out the second support. -
No, not because I'm always late. It's because I had to do another job on a
red carpet - movie premiere on the other side of town. and as you all know,
you can't dance on two weddings - as we say so. But so, I just arrive in time at the Backstage venue, when chapter 2 named Bullet are starting their set They are in Munich for the
very first time, as they tell me later on. So no surprise, that not just me,
but almost everybody in here is checking out a new band.
Music goes in circles - John
Lennon once said. The Eighties are celebrating a Come Back with Bands like
Bullet. - It's rather simple.... you
put the whole stage into dark red light during the first 3 songs, and of
course - no flash.... Yiiippiieehh - we luv it, don't we.... And so again we
desperately swear and try to get at least something outta this misery. As
soon as the photocall is finished, and we have left the pit, the lights go
on, and the view to the stage is clear and light again.- To be honest, I
have never understood, the intention behind such a strategy. Strangely the
so called superstars never have a problem with such a thing, though they
don't even need press anymore. But in this case, it seems, the band sort of
hates photographers or something like that....
By the way, the temples ain't
far from sold out, not like for instance recently the Hellacopters, where we
amost got squashed to death. I guess, tonight there are aprox. 700
fans...maybe even less... The show ain't nothing
really special and the Line up is still the same. To mention is only the new
selftitled album. And that the reason for this tour. Although somehow I miss
the last sparkle in their performance tonight. This special, little
something , which I always loved so much at their concerts. But this time
there is no wind in the air and I ask myself, whether this is due to a long
touringschedule or just a bad day syndrome. |
