This
swedish rockband I've seen already quite a few times live on
stage, but I still don't know how they've got to their peculiar
name. Well, who knows, maybe in swedish language it sound really
cool or something like it. Also the visuall aspect doesn't
remind us a singl inch about this kinda dog. Which means, these
musicians don't wear this typicals hairspray electrified style.
And I don't wanna use the expression glamrock, because the music
of the Poodles is actually simple straight hardrock. Only maybe
the colourful costumes of frontman Jacob reminds me a little at
these past Sleaze- and glitter era. For those, his lady back
home is responsible, as she designs all his clothes, whether on
- or off stage. Very photogenic indeed, but in the end it would
be useless, if the show ain't good. And until this very day, it
has always been placed right, sometimes better, sometimes weak,
depending on the daily conditions and mood.
Aprox. 250 people have gathered at the Metropolis in Munich,
some of these fans, have just seen the Poodles live about one
week ago at the Firefest in Nottingham. - After this show
tonight, I hear some statements about the comparison from then
to tonight, and these one's state, that it's been 10 times
better now, than it had been at this Melodic Rock Festival 7
days ago.

But
we ain't that far jet in my report, and we start off with the
supportband, who listen to the name of Dynaszty and they come
from Sweden as well. The group members seem like they've just
grown out of teenage age.

The
first though coming to my mind by watching these kids on stage
is: wauw - what a voice! No kiddin'! This boy Nils Molin, sings
like a nitingale in a diverse sense. Holy shit, some old rockers
could take an example by that. And I don't overdo it.
Musically Dynazty are going for a Power Metal style, nothing new,
but thanks to their youth, with a huge encouragement.
They have formed in 2007 in Stockholm. Exept Molin, there are
Joey Fox (bass), George Egg (Drums - Ex-Foxey), John Berg (git
Ex-Sharp) and Rob Love (Git. Zan Clan). As you can see, these
boys have already a past, and I ask myself, whether they have
started thier carriere already in their nappkins. 'Bring The
Thunder' is the debut CD of this Fivesome. And the title holds,
what they promise. Here the thunder is truly rolling.
Well done, I would say and the next swedish Metal Generation has
one more artist to offer the world.
Whoever ain't here tonight or on any of the Clash Of The
Elements tour dates, then he or she should really have a listen
tu
Dynazty's music on their My Spage page.

The Poodles
have choosen a Zylinder hat as the focus, which is worn with
pride by singer Jacob, including some coole looking sunglasses. |
Somhow
he reminds me of Johnny Deep in the movie 'Charlie & The
Chocolat Factory'. Only that our paradisebird is rather
blonde-aubergine tainted. In each case tonight seems a good day
for him and his band collegues, and there is nothing disturbing
the enthusiastic atmosphere inside this livingroom. And
everybody is celebrating a Rock'n'Roll party, as it couldn't be
any better. Clash Of The Elements in the truest sense of the
word, lik the title of the single 'I Rule The Night'. Only newbe
since last time, is guitarist Henrik Bergqvist, who came in the
band replacing Pontus Norgren, who had changed over to
Hammerfall. Well, Mr. Berqvist hasn't got that long hair, like
the other's, and he doesn't look as glamorous as our papagallo
Jacob. But he can play his instrument. And that most important,
ain't it?!

The Poodles
pull every advantage they've got, pretty strong and rockin' but
still somehow relaxed. And the famous sparkle is jumping on and
backwards from the stage to the audiance and back again. And to
name yet another song title to describe the situation here: The
rock 'Like No Tomorrow'. Yeah well not too overdriven, but you
can easily describe the Poodles appearance as a solid
Rock'n'Roll show
|
Inbetween
they play an acoustic stint, whereby in my opinion that one
could be missed.
Like the supportband, als the music of the Poodles ain't
anything new or innovative, but again... it rocks. This band
doesn't deliver high potential song material, as they are just a
solid partyband, and of what I heard.... - not just on stage.
The fact, that Jacob Samuel changes his outfit at least 3 times
during a show, I don't think, I have to mention. - Nice
for my camera anyway.....
|
Over
all there is only left to say, that this evening has not been
suitable for sophisticated musiclovers, but is made for
having a lot of fun and push up our moods with decent
Rock'n'Roll And we don't have the feeling ,
something is missing in the end.
Let's have a party with an open end....
