I
remember very well, back then, it must have been sometime in the
middle of the nintees, when these guys came to my house and
homestudio for a radio interview. And thanks to a delay of
myself, the sight was hilirous, showing them like behaved
choirboys, sitting on the pathment and wiping it cleas with
their buts. Great, and i presume, some horizon at the South
pacific could not have been nicer.
Well, that's a long time agao, and I didn't have a camera on
hand to hold this moment tight for memory. But meanwhile
everything has changed anyway, and there is nothing left from
back then exept the name and the musical style.
Although there has never been an interruption within the band's
carriere, as the line up changes went fluently, like one hand
gives the other.... if you know what I mean... and this always
hard but heartly.
So, finally I've found the time, to get another impression of
Megaherz 2009 - live on stage at the Backstage Werk here in
Munich. The thunderstorm is happening as part of the annual Free
& Easy festival weeks, which means, all event during this
time are for free. Mind me, you still gotta buy your own drinks.
But free & easy means - full house... which again means in
the beginning rather a crowded front garden and an only half
filled venue. (venues, as the Backstage areal has 4 venues all
kind of sizes)
So the first band and opener 'Blickfeld' plays in front of a
rather small audiance yet.u Braunschweig Fans
berieseln lassen.

Frontman
Andy rather goes for a sophisticated style with his black Gucci
shirt and a white Boss tie (that's what I think, it is) - and he
seems like Al Capone in his best shape. Only the fiddle case is
missing. You know, that box, including everything else than a
fiddle.
Never mind, it's showtime, and our northgerman dressman
accompanied by Ali Khan... oh sorry - J. on guitar, Tommy Boy on
bass and Olli on drums start off with their accoustic session
dedicated to the Sex Pistols, Ramones and the Clash - god bless
'em. The lyrics are in german language and come from the hook
(in german "aus'm Stand") That's the slogan and also
the title of the new album. And that one again, Blickfeld have
created and produced to save the world from boredom - as they
say so....
|
| Indeed,
there ain't no boring second within the band's set here in
Munich. And although later on some fans of the two other
participating bands, show a certain aversion about this lot, I
have to say as a neutral spectator, that I do like what I get to
hear and see. The Cosanostra from Braunschweig fronted by Al
Capone's clon, deliver some energetic punkrock, which doesn't
need to hide. They are young, they've got peppers in their butts,
and they intend to conquer the world, without lovesongs and a
strong aloha. And now we play Bonnie and Clyde, and dare you all
narrowminded Rammstein freaks out there and don't give 'em a
chance....
Well done, Mr.
Punkminister. The next party in Napoli, Palermo or Braunschweig,
or wheresoever, is certainly in good hands....
off we go and shoot to thrill..... |

| We
don't get much of a break and just manage to reduce our worst
urge for liquids, when 4lyn come on and take again all the
oxygen from our tortured bodies.

Jesus
wept, but within the first few seconds, I truly think Zimbl from
the Bates has risen up again from beyond. The visual similarity
is spooky, Don 'Brasko' Cazzato is publishing here. But well,
maybe his posh Coco Chanel eyeliner surrounding his eagle
eye, takes care for this first impression. Nevertheless, this
young lad puts out some kind of Jimmy Dean image, and he knows
exactly what he wants and going for, showing off with some
typical body action, not to forget his special tenor.
This band from Hamburg,Germany, just celebrated their 10th
anniversary with a DVD entitled "Live in Hamburg". And
another fact is, that the 4 young little Nasties are always
welcome here in the south in Munich.
There is also Swedens male supermodel Markus Schenkenberg, at
least his inspiration, who is named Björn „Deee“ Düßler
and handles the bass. His slim shape and erotic timbre have
obviously inspired main man Ron ‚Bras’ Cazzato for this
introducion. Who cares, we are all beautiful in one or the other
way. And mind me, that's not the point in the end. It's the art
of performance which counts. Meanwhile the living room is well
filled with a young crowd, which consists partly of 4lyn fans
and partly of Megaherz admirers. And they all go for some metal
type exersicing, better known as moshing leading to a multiple
orgasm. Okay, I wouldn't go that far, as with such huge physical
exhaustment there ain't no power left for the golden shoot, as
we say so.... if you're not Superman or someone like him....
|
| Anyway,
Ronnie Boy is trying to handle a camcorder to film the outraging
crowd for a memory. Well, it's a bit odd, when you work with a
cam like an orangutan with some knitting needles. But at some
point it finally seems to work, not to forget to castrate a neat
selfportrait.
|
| ‚World’s Gone Crazy'
in the truest sense of the event. And because this band goes for
english lyrics framing their music, there are quite a few doors
open for an international marketing.. Two more prayers in the
end as an encore and a little dedication to their personal
friend and Backstage location booker Markus, the Great, and off
we go again.... with a big cheers....
|
| This
is it with 4lyn's high volatage intermezzo leading into the
conclusion as the last amen in the abbey: well done as well,
viva the old bones, which got oiled and greased with these hard
rock'n'roll rhythm produced by our young wilde ones and Hamburg
Schenkenbergs and Co. And yet one request is already in the
heads of all over powered fans - please come back again soon.
Hamburg ain't that far as Hawaii is.... so what...?

Okidok, and last but not least our local heroes of Megaherz have to take
care, that the tired audiance gets fit again and catches up with new
energy. |
We
start off with a black curtain, which ain't ment so much for
image care, but rather to give the instruments the last polish
in dur and bass.
So let's get this job done boys and heat the oven. As if the 250
degrees C ain't already enough for a volument sauna. And then
the
Popocatépetl erupts in Central Mexico, or better here at the Backstage
Werk. Holy shite, I ask myself whether Megaherz wants a deaf
snail on the bottom of the Grand Canyon listening to a
needle bouncing on the moon, or what?! After a short while my
ears start begging for mercy, but won't get this, as I never
ever use earplugs, and my two hands are occupied with two
cameras hanging round my neck. So eyes closed and head through
the walls, only the strong survive.... |
|
|
|
| All
the fans don't seem to mind. They take a bath in their own body
liquid and the aura of Kojak lookalike Lex Par... no Wohnhaas is
his last name. And this guy again gives us for one moment the
illusion of a distant visual similarity to the former frontman.
But soon after it shows off as a fata morgana and develops his
own individuality. That one again is some sort of exalting
charsim and sexapeal, showing it's real face within the second
half of the stage orgy later on... |
|
Another
sort of new guy in the band is BamBam Flintstone, who's change
over from old time rockers Bonfire to Megaherz doesn't seem to
work out as such a bad move. He's handling the drums for 2 years
now, and BamBam is certainly belonging to the drum elite here in
Munich. Only his personal posing is still a bit leaking.. never
mind...
The
rest of the canon fire here is Christian
„X-ti“ Bystron on the six strings, the other guitar is handled by
Roland Vencelj for four years now, and last but not least on
bass Wenz Weniger.
|
The
set is well known by every die hard fan. And to describe it
briefly - it's none compromising, very heavy, somehow brutal but
still with a sense of humour. And again, all songs are sung in
german language. The style is named: The New German Hardness, an
expression invented by Rammstein. And that's what Megaherz sound
like in a way, just a bit more brutal and straight.
One highlight is the titledtrack of the latest release named
'Heuchler'. which means as much as Lieer. The band is joined by
some funny looking guy covered in yellow and blue paint. I've
been told, he's part of a local band named Aport. |
| Not
to forget the two rock beauties in blonde and brunett, showing
off every chlichee you can think off, trying to make the band
and the audiance happy in some ways.... |
| However,
they build a pretty focus and complete the party with their
presence and the sexy action, exspecially at the song
'Miststück' which means in english - bitch.
|
Well then, even an announced open end in the
beginning of the show finds an end at some point,no matter how great it
has been.The magic is finished at about 1 a.m. and Megaherz have surely
collected some more points what's up to popularity. And I mean, a
finished show doesn't mean the end of the party.... The Backstage is
happy and aprox. 1.000 outworn fans as well...
and me old woman shoot off, not to miss my rendevouz with my homely
pillow. bye bye and cheers.... Life is only Rock'n'Roll and we like
it.....
