I
only catch the last few minutes, as I'm a bit late like always. And in the
first moment I got the impression, up there is Jock Cocker jun. moving his
arms and legs around himself in such a funny way, that it catches
immidiately my attention. This band calls their style - experimental rock.
And no, they don't swim across the sea with the mayflower like in ancient
times, but stay over here in Nottingham Great Britain and only have
shipped across the channel to the continent to introduce themselves to a
wider audiance. I can't tell you much more, as, like I said before, only
cought the last 5 minutes or so. And then showtime is over again for Joe
Cocker jun. But for everybody who is still interested in this lot, please
go to Because
the fog on stage seems like the scottish highlands after heavy rain. Jesus
wept... I have hardly ever sweared so much at a photocall like at the slot
of Nebula from Los Angeles. And for a sec I believe the ghost of
Canterville is coming through the dry ice. To be honest, the only other
band competing with such fog are the Sisters Of Mercy. They are even worse.
However, somehow I can manage to get at least some decent shots of Eddie
Glass (Git/Voc)m english lad Tom Davies (Bass/Voc) and drummer Rob Oswald. Although
for some people it's strange stuff, but I really do like what I hear. And
most of the Monster Magnet fans do accept this support very well. I'm
positively surprised, as I did only know their name so far... But I will
definately remember this band for the future....
And there they come…and first of all.......wauw....!!! Dave
is back again with a vengeance. How great, though he does look a bit
different. Wonder if this is the result of his recovering. On the other
hand, who cares... Dave is well again and he is alive, nothing else counts,
no matter what. And he didn't loose his slight arrogant aura. Dave is
still the dominating focus. To get it straight - Dave is Monster Magnet
and noone else really, though guitarist Ed Mundell and bassist Jim Baglino
are truly good in what they are doing. His behaviour towards the audiance has changed as well and has loosen up a bit. It used to be rather arrogant, like I said before, but now he seems to be more friendly, smiling and talking a few words to the fans inbetween the songs. Who knows, maye the russian roulette with his health has let him become more laid back. In each case you can feel, that he is dearly grateful for all this love fans still show him here. Within minutes Dave won again over the audiance and rock's 'em down with all the great music he's got to offer us. (See setlist)
One
thing is for sure, it has been worth it to wait for this concert, and Dave
has made it again. He is back again, no matter how and is offering a great
show though he's not so much moving around as he used to in the past. And
let's hope that this evening here is not the last one and we get them back
again many times in the future.
