Yeah, it was waaaay cool
They knock spots off D'espa live, really they do.
My guess is that the drummer wears the sock because if he didn't, he'd be arrested for indecent exposure.
... I want to know how he gets it to stay on so securely. Betcha he uses that kind of tape that film stars use to make sure their dresses don't fall off.
Behind all the flashy posing and energetic gymnastics, the guitarist is a pretty good player.
I'll write up a proper review (which will include McQueen too, if anyone's curious
) for Nippon Project and post a link when it's done.
I can't remember many of the songs... they played quite a few new ones from the album that's going to be out at the beginning of next year, they also played Suicide Rock & Roll (that was the first number), My Tiger, a kind of extended version of Scream For Me with some improvisation and stuff, You Bastard (of course!) and Beat Me - including "fanservice" with a big hefty white guy wearing only a tight pair of pants that said "BEAT ME" on the a$s
(I was killing myself laughing
).
It was great being in a small venue, cos that made everything more intimate and fun.
Oh, and they referenced Black Sabbath with a snatch of Iron Man at the beginning, and Van Halen's riff from Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love just before the encore.
