How To Flirt With Scorpion

Chronicle Big Noize Barakaldo

The commanded tribute band Joe Lynn Turner unloaded his rock classic in the city Bilbao


The most classic rock fans had a must with the best of Joe Lynn Turner. Despite having little promotion, the room had a more than acceptable, especially helped by the lottery ticket at the last minute through a well-known savings Bilbao. It is remarkable the good programming that is making this hall, and that through it we have enjoyed bands like Motörhead, "Helloween", QOTSA, Ratt, Y. Malmsteen, Whitesnake, The Mars Volta, Glenn Hughes, Y & T, Europe, Extreme, Edguy, Gary Moore ... and so much more. Unfortunately, being located in a shopping center, has many shortcomings, such as having a very low ceiling and a column layout which is not best placed to see a concert, but it is what it is.
The opening act was local group Garage 13, I could not see a logistical problem (my own laziness). After a few minutes waiting long enough and two Carlsberg (four euros a bottle no more and no less), the figure of the musicians in the dark. And what music! Good old Joe needs no introduction, but the rest did not lag behind. On drums a myth, Simon Wright, battery AC / DC in the 80 and gave up today. In another classic guitar more unknown to me, Carlos Cavazo, which benefited from Quiet Riot's popularity after the departure of Randy Rhoads and currently touring with Ratt (the twist of life). In the lower, another fighter of the eighties, Phil Soussan, bass player who has worked with Ozzy, Billy Idol and Steve Lukather and others. And finally, on keyboards, a great unknown to most but seems to be a genius to those who know him, Erik Norlander, who best known for the general public has been his work with Asia "bastard" by John Payne.
Once you know the characters, the show starts.

The beginning is a little cold, no intro or anything like that directly enter all the band members at once, so I think it catches a bit misplaced to the public. They start with a watered down version of "The Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath Dio era, it took us to recognize most because, as I will comment, both the guitar and the keyboards were very low and, at times almost inaudible. Following this letter, which otherwise does not seem very appropriate because it may be the least popular song setlist carried out, start with "Crazy Train" by Ozzy, sounding the first shouts and applause from an audience I began to warm. As I said, was to sharpen the ear much to guess the songs they were playing, as the famous initial plotting evoked times percectible Randy Rhoads was just as both the low and the battery tapaban on guitar. After the first two songs, Joe Lynn sets out to talk to the audience that, like most of the English, they have little idea of \u200b\u200bEnglish, so its fun Conas were barely noticed by the respected (I just caught you " that room reminded him of his garage, lol). Becomes the party with the first issue of DIO, "Rainbow in the Dark", now with the keyboard and guitar better, but all too little, as would occur during the concert. Very good performance of Turner, not crease at nothing and dares Ronnie a classic, making it fairly decent. As I have repeatedly stated, the three singers in active Purple is the one that best preserves the voice without a doubt. But back to the concert.

After these issues started good, we anticipated that Turner dropped the first of Rainbow, "Stone Cold", much celebrated by the public, who mostly came to see Turner's success with Rainbow, but in the end we are left with the desire , as you can see. Then when Ozzy played "Shot in the Dark", co-written by bassist Soussan at the time, also widely celebrated throughout the world.
was time coldest night with the presentation of the moment, the only original song, "Battlefields", dedicated to soldiers serving in Iraq. It's a fairly decent part-time, can be heard. We will have to watch to see if you dare to publish something new or just lay on this attempt.
Return to Rainbow with "Street of Dreams" also received cheers from the crowd. DIO
were returning to "The Last in Line" (not the order of the songs I thought it best, could have been more varied and not the songs together in the same band almost straight). The drums and bass were covering Cavazo the good work of the six strings, but there was. To the surprise of many began to ring the run of "SOTW" chanted by the fans but that left me rather cold, as it was beginning one of the moments, "festival" of the night. The execution was good, but see five musicians play this classic that has nothing to do none of them gives me some unease, frankly. "Cum On Feel the Noize" appeared on the scene, the success of Quiet Riot in which the guitarist could not show off by having volume problems, which like it or not, detracts from a concert. Time played "drum solo" can not miss at any rock concert lovers. Simon did a film, fast and intense, it was tiring as usual. After finishing the attacked only other hit of Quiet Riot "Metal Health" (aka "Bang your head"). The bassist was a luxury only, alternating rock sound that was doing something funky (and without a pick, as it should be), adding a verse from Turner "Ready for Love" by Bad Company, we caught a more than one at contrapié. This moment was one of the best of the night, in my opinion. Again
Turner (glass of wine in hand) got to give the respectable veneer, until Simon Wright played "songs", "Back in Black" and "Highway to hell", verbena time again, as has not been involved in creating any of these songs, as played with DIO, but hey, as I said before, is what you get.
To finish left us another gem, "Highway Star", in which five players passed it big and wore their best, despite picking we had to guess the good Cavazo.
After three minutes of rest was the final fireworks. Only played in the encore "Long Live Rock & Roll", beautifully executed, including fragments of Rock & Roll Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top's Tush. A good end to the concert, but in general left a sour taste rather, the lack of volume of keyboards and, especially, guitar, and also by the atmosphere they breathed verbenera, singing such song that does not belong to any of the five components. You missed some material over the Rainbow (I played No Surrender!). Anyway, we removed the
bailao
