Review: Eagles of Death Metal at Sentrum Scene – Dagbladet.no

CONCERT: Eagles of Death Metal are only concerned with having fun.

Naturally, puling and drekking part of the package – duh !, rock is constantly rock – but first and foremost Jesse Hughes ‘and Josh Hommes playpen daring to embarrass yourselves.

So when three Islamic extremists shot and killed 89 people during their Paris concert in November – including the band merchsjef and close friend, Nick Alexander – they went not to attack on “our” way of living, but the living.

“it’s been a tough couple of months, but ya’ll motherfuckers are worth it. I love you so fucking much! “Proclaims Hughes initially to a full set Sentrum Scene, venue for their second concert since the terrorist attacks (in two days they turn eventually returned to Paris).

Queens of the Stone Age-captain Homme is admittedly not with tradition but even without their artistic director swings Eagles of Death Metal.

The lively garage rocker “Complexity” is an early highlight, not least because the chorus – “it’s Easier without complexity” – reveals itself as an established maxim through the half hour frontman and his three companions are on the scene.

They are far from the world’s most accomplished band – under the interpretation of Duran Duran’s one night stand-anthem “Save a Prayer” skrattler example drummer of Hughes faltering vocal performance – but equally well they know that technical gifts alone are not enough to make good concerts.

Kåtskalken in front has in fact not forget that there are ladies’ evening; both Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, of all things. One could have imagined how inappropriate Happy-Tom-dedicated “Whorehoppin ‘” would felt on March 8, but right here and now Hughes in its domain. Who can judge him when the girls screaming the loudest?

The best thing is “I Like to Move in the Night” , which also – believe it or not – revolves about fucking. There is one moment where Eagles of Death Metal are completely on fire. Not only know one fog from yesterday’s brouhaha light, too evil of the world forgotten for a moment.

The same is not as easy to say about the encore, where the quartet tails out time while they manage and rotate away in gitarklimpring and helpless gimmicks – a drum solo is the only thing missing. But even when Hughes and his comrades fall into the stupidity, it is impossible to be properly angry with them.

So even though it really memorable music experience as such absent, emphasizes the concert power that lives in every good song the ability to bring people together, in spite of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation – indeed, the entire insignificant tree-hugging each user to breed hatred.

As the boss himself affirms: “this is proof that no matter what , rock & amp; roll never lets the bad guys win. “
