is this actually any good, though?
see,
my perception of this is that it's just very silly, but i said the same
thing about earth, as well as earthless, and i ended up at both shows.
there would be a non-zero chance that i'd show up at something like this
if it wasn't one of the coldest nights of the year.
there are, however, certain things that would dramatically minimize my chances, as well.
first, i know they're purposefully retro, a novelty act, but hasn't the satanic theme run it's course? i have dead kennedys records from like 1985 that argue pretty convincingly that satanic rock music is overdone and tired and stupid and cliched, and here we are 35 years later and still watching in confusion as they headbang their heads against the same wall.
second, it's actually hard not to giggle when you hear the vocal tone. no, really. this is just so widely ridiculed at this point, that you're going to end up giggling by default. you can't avoid it. admit it. you're laughing...
i'd deal with that, though, if i was in the right mood, if the guitar playing was actually interesting. and, it's kind of not.
so, no. it isn't actually any good.
