It was a night full of glam, it was a nice full of sleaze, it was a night of bosom and nasty women etc. Hard rock bands are simply the best, in my opinion, when it comes to live shows. A live show is a party and what better way to have a successful party then having a rock band on board.
With an academic delay of 45 minutes, Roxy Bitch from Thessaloniki appeared on stage. I had no information about this act except that they played Hard Rock (obviously). The band hit the stage with a rather traditional look (leopard spandex etc.) and based their program on cover songs. Most of them performed pretty good while a couple of interesting parts were the translated into Greek We're Not Gonna Take It of Twisted Sister and the appearance of two modest girls on stage during the performance of House Of Fire from Alice Cooper. The band also performed a couple of their own songs that in general terms can be described as a mixture of Twisted Sister and Motley Crue. In my opinion this is an act with lots of potential.
Well, the time had come for us to witness those who paved the way for harder songs in the lame Eurovision contest, the one and only Wig Wam. The band exploded on stage [Chief Editor's Note: I hope you don't mean that literally, Mike] and definitely delivered the goods. In no particular order, they performed - amongst others - the following: Bless The Night, Erection, Hard To Be A Rock 'N' Roller, In My Dreams, Rock My Ride, Gonna Get You Someday and Kill My Rock 'N' Roll. They also performed a medley of Aerosmith and Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer.
The band's performance was amazing. Outstanding musicians, enjoying every minute on stage. Driven by a charismatic vocalist, the band gave us just a faint look of what we had missed in the miserable last decades. Yeah, those couple of decades that the only bands who appeared at a Greek club had to be B- power Metal or C- epic Metal. There was no room back then for good Hard Rock.
Glam had to be on some kind of drugs that night. Honestly I cannot believe the energy this man had. The club's stage was too small for him, so he often hung himself from the light bars, or went to the bar for a drink. Not to mention his interaction with the ladies (it's good to see so many gals in a Rock / Metal show ? I hate this similar to gay clubs situation where the audience is either comprised by men, or includes women that look like men). Metal Temple's Eleni was right in front of him and... oh well you better ask her (I didn't see anything...).
All in all it was a night to remember. I just wish I'll have the luxury of witnessing many similar shows in the future.
