ZODIAC MINDWARP
& THE LOVE REACTION
CONCERT REVIEW
MUNICH 19th. May 2003 Atomic Cafe
....not as enthusiastic as he used to be.... |
Cobalt still beeing a fantastic guitarplayer and not ignoring the nice things in Rock'n'Roll Live |
Jesus
Christ has nothing to do with our Tattooed
Beat Messiah -
Zodiac Mindwarp alias Mark Manning. But he has risen up again as well,
after he had disappeared for several years, not from the dead so. The
reasons for that fact are simply explained. Mark Manning alias Zodiac
Mindwarp
followed his other path of beeing a writer. He's published several
books so far.
If I compare his autobiography with the one from Mötley
Crüe, called "The Dirt", so is the second one like an
innocent snowhite for the poor. Jesus wept, I really wanna go on tour
with this band once in a lifetime, just to see, if this all is true.
Afterwards I'm probably ready for a madhouse or I recall the philosophy
of Rock'n'Roll. But however, music never went off his mind. Thanks
god for that, No, he hasn't really changed over the years, neither
visually nor mentally. Okay, only the long hair has gone, because he
doesn't want to look like Ozzy Osbourne, as he said in one statement. Cobalt
Stargazer (git)
, who's real name is Geoff Bird, is the only one, who stayed with Zodiac
from the very beginning. He is responsible for lots of the music.
Without Cobalt Zodiac wouldn't be Mindwarp and the other way round,
would it?! Can you imagine, this man once worked for Wham? But music is
patient and money doesn't smell! - got me? And Stargazer is
a brilliant guitarist, even his look hasn't got much to do anymore
with the Tattooed Beat Messiah era. But it's still better to look like a
Run Dmc meets Hip Hop pocket format cowboy than a possible George
Michael copy. Sorry, Cobalt, I think, you look alright - to me. - I
didn't mean it bad...
But let's get back to the advert-figurehead of the group. |
