Can’t confirm rude security, but wasn’t at the front row.
Confiscating recording equipment is a stupid thing at a Motorpsycho show – what’s on stage is a matter of the band, not any location security. Hope the person in question gets it back.Anyway: great show. Bent introduced it as a “Rock show”, setlist by Olaf. Well – you CAN call this a rock show, but for me it was everything motorpsychedelic at once – from heavy onslaught to westcoast jam noodling to rhythmic frenzy to spaced-out bliss (towards the end). Motorpsycho from tzar to tzar.
Motorpsycho will probably be out-Gullivered when they reach Cologne. All the better (for me) if they replace it with Neotzar.
Futile discussion, though – they play what they play, and we like it!Just from the setlist this appears to me the most diverse/psychedelic show so far this year. But of course I wasn’t there – won’t make it to Holland or Belgium either, just Cologne/Freiburg, but I digress. Lady May, Pacific Sonata, Pilgrim, Mountain, Neotzar – I would be happy to get this set in Cologne or Freiburg. Magpie welcome as well. Generally though I agree – those many rather short songs from the last few years sound rather similar.
Yep – Shame, Ingvald cannot play the tour. His drumming will be missed.
Besides I still have mixed feelings with the album. Though I’m quite happy with it, imho it still lacks the kind of juvenile enthusiasm MP used to have in the old days – or the gravitas and majesty of the Gullvag trilogy. I know it is quite unrealistic to expect these from an elderly rock duo with no regular drummer, though ;-). So for the circumstances being we probably get the best possible.
Btw.: The last few seconds of “Neotzar” remind me a lot of that little acoustic tune at the end of Black Sabbath’s “Heaven and Hell” (the song, studio version).I always knew Genesis were a pompous bunch of lazy sods – two people is enough for that kind of music ;-)
That would be the BAD TASTE US Tour then? (Just for the Love of Kiss – but sometimes bad taste happens to be just what you need, especially when you’re a teenager).
Should be pretty soon though – before US Immigration gets a grip on those Psycho- & Neotzar lyrics ;-)When did Bent last play in front of 1500? Must have been the summer festivals – regular MP shows muster around 500-600 at best. Cozy affairs though – I love it ;-)
As the comparisons grow more and more esoteric I’d like to throw in that the Neotzar introduction strikes some memories of early/middle Kate Bush for me. Wonder who’s next in the big Motorpsychedelic stew ;-)
@ Ratmaus: As always, my alledged cleverness is fuelled by at least 50% ignorance – couln’t relate to at least half of your proposals ;-)
@ Ratmaus: Ever listened to “Master of the Universe”?
After Lemmy gone – who but Bent on bass might deserve that title?@ otherdemon: Second almost every word – only would add Bed of Roses.
With so many tracks on the album I would like to hear live – adding to the already massive MP canon – it gets more and more imperative to visit several MP concerts in a row. The other solution – 4 hr plus concerts – doesn’t seem practicable for band or audience either. I guess they’re only recording so many good tracks each year to make multiple concert attendance unavoidable…
– musiknyheter review –
Hehe – somebody who missed out The Tower, The Crucible, All Is One and Ancient Astronauts cannot write a relevant MP review for me. Though I share some of this guys misgivings regarding the vocals, I’m fully opposed on his diatribe against rock clichés – I love the way MP play with these ;-)
