What people say

It was on Thursday February 2nd at a place know as The Baltimore Soundstage..a man who goes by the name of Udo comes to fill our hearts with the greatest music known to man..and that's called heavy metal..along with not just his cohorts (members of his band),but 2 other bands to fight for the metal right..Mind Maze and A Sound of Thunder were the openers of the night..both bands took the stage andplayed songs that set our hearts ablaze and our minds melt.the voices of both Sarah Teets (Mind Maze) and Nina Osegueda (ASOT) are like pierced blades that can cut through steel with just a couple of high pitched notes from their lovely throats..when Mind Maze took the stage,the band was real tight played not just their tracks from their cds but brand new songs that are amazing..guitarist Jeff Teets shredded like a lunatic all fringed to the bone..Bassist Rich Pasqualone was killing it like crazy..And drummer Mark "Truk" Bennett was just insane..a killer performance they did..now it's off to the 2nd band A Sound of Thunder..taking the stage to do a set that whipped us into relentless rage..again with Nina's vocals she nailed it with screams so high that made our heads explode..especially when she sang the Manowar track Pleasure Slave..guitarist Josh Shwartz played solos like a man possessed..drummer Chris Haren playing like beating a wall with sledgehammers..And Jesse Keen plucked the bass like no other bassist..together they made thunder roared louder than ever..and last but certainly not the least was the band Dirkschnider featuring Udo himself and his band (don't know their names offhand) but his son Sven is a monster that pulverized the audience with the beating of his drums..both guitarists Andrey Smirnov and Kasperi Heikkinen were like snipers aiming at their targets and Fitty Wienhold played his bass like a stalker..not knowing where he'll strike next..the band too the stage at 9:45 and played 2 hrs of Accept songs such as Starlight..Breaker..Midnight Highway and even their classics like Balls To The Wall..Fast as a Shark..Restless and Wild..Metal Heart..the band was fierce and maniacal..the audience went ballistic..Udo was spot on when he sang and screamed like a banshee and he never lost his luck touch..I will say this though.."He still has it"..and the band played thoes songs just like Accept did when Udo was at the helm . what a killer night of true heavy metal.
