FUSI DI ROCK (ITALY)

Howdy, sailors...!
Cpt. is back at last! Sorry for the delay.

Regreattably (or luckyly?) soon after the Mediterranean tour, Cpt. has been cought into a research frenzy, following a quite happy discovery. Further delays to be expected too.

But I'll do my best not to let you rot on the beach, listening to hip-hop from the neighbour earphones, smoking green (which actually is not so bad!), and dreaming for metal reports and review!

Following some pics from a very nice gig Cpt. attended back in Italy. FUSI DI ROCK, a rock/metal marathon held in north-east Italy, which is already at its 11th edition (I think...). Don't fancy Monsters of Rock stuff! Rather a summer food festival... sousages, beer, french fries, ... with annexed stage. Provincial as it may be, for a reason or another every time cool bands and guests bring their asses over there enterteining an audience that barely realizes who/what they are listening to. In any case,times has passed and can't recall the menu. First two band were local groups that palayed with decorum. The last two I remember well - I weas there for them: PATHOS REI and THE CLAIRVOYANTS! We are talking about some very cool modern progressive and "the" IRON MAIDEN copy band ("the" because they are considered - rightfully - the best)!
Both delivered a fantastic show and I terribly enjoyed them, but being an historic Maiden fan, you can bet your ass I've been kicked more by the seconds!

They delivered Maiden on mass-production... Every best and historic hits, plus newer stuff. And exactly as Maiden, if not better. Yeah, also the singing, you dumb unbelivers! Dickinson level without regrets! And from time to time, pieces from their own last album. Machingun fire for, I guess, two hours or more... Audience was more tired than them! Freaky cool! Better than Maiden themselves, I dare to say.
I do hope to see them again soon. Cheers.
Get the pics and... shut up!
