Steel Panther: On the Prowl Baltimore Show Review

Baltimore was on the Prowl last night and the only cure was Metal. Thankfully Steel Panther, Crobot, and Tragedy not only brought out the ladies they brought down the house.

This was my first time seeing Tragedy who self identify as an “All metal tribute to the Bee Gees and beyond”. They put on a fun show and not only did they do metal Bee Gees’ songs, they have a killer mix up of Slayer’s “Raining Blood”and Weather Girls “It’s Raining Men”.

Crobot was next and these guys always put on a hell of a show and bring the energy. This time singer Brandon Yeagley was brought out on an electric chair and was brought back to life by a mad scientist. Crobot always look like they are having the best time on stage and just rock the house each and every time.

Steel Panther were back in Baltimore. The last time they came through town thye played at the casino and the tour was the debut of their newest member Spyder on bass. Touring in support the a new album On the Prowl, which is another dose of the straight ahead guitar screaming rock that have come to pretext from the band. If you have ever love anything by Steel Panther you’re also gonna love this album as well. It definitely has some tracks that will become staples on the set-list.

Steel Panther are one of the top dogs when it comes to entertainment while in a live concert setting. What band can talk for about 20 minutes in between songs 2 and 3 of their set and still keep everyone engaged and laughing let alone not bitching about “just play the music”.

It has got to be difficult for the boys to work out a set-list, they have 6 albums out now and you know everyone wants to hear all the songs that they love which with Steel Panther they might have to start being like GNR and play for 3 hours(which I’m sure the fans would not complain). Panther played some new songs off the latest album with “1987”, “Aint Dead Yet”, and “Never too late”. They also played some of my favorites like “Glory Hole”, “ Asian Hooker” and “Death to all but metal”. I love when Panther comes into town, you know you’re gonna have a great time, listen to some kick ass music, have some laughs, see some girls on stage(boobs possibly) maybe get lucky to have one of the guys give a quick handy to u (allegedly) and more than likely your wife/gf/mother/granny will be violated (consensually).

King Diamond who’s on tour now with Overkill and Night Demon.

Overkill always puts on a great show and shows that face pace thrash metal is still kick ass. Led by NJ’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth Overkill has that distinctive sound with Bobby’s high pitched and raspy vocals. With songs like “Scorched”, “ Rotten to the Core” and “Hello From the Gutter”, Overkill got the crowd into a frenzy and warmed up the stage before the king.

You know it’s gonna be a good night when it’s 3 days before Halloween and you get to see a kick ass set from King Diamond. King Diamond who’s 68 right now still commands that stage and sounds amazing with his insanely falsettos. The stage show at a King Diamond show is always such a great sight to see. With a multilayer setup of stairs and little pieces of elaborate set all over it’s such a great view and perfect setting to watch a King Diamond set.

The set list was amazing too we got to hear songs from such a great career like “A Mansion in the Darkness”, “Halloween “, “Spider Lilly”, “Welcome Home”, and “Eye of the Witch” and of course ending the night with “Abagail”.

If you’re a fan of King Diamond or just a fan of great music that adds that Halloween haunted asylum themed stage performances then you need to go out and check this tour now. King Diamond never disappoints and always puts on one hell of a show.

Combichrist came into Lovedrafts in Mechanicsburg with an old school electronic set and the return of PA’s own DeathMaschine.

Combichrist took the dark stage armed with Eric on the synths/sampler and Andy on Vocals and an open stage to rampage on. I got to hear some killer kick ass songs I haven’t heard in a while like “Today I woke to the rain of blood”, “This is My Rifle” and This shit will fuck you up”.

The crowd were super excited to watch the set and everyone was having a good time, dancing to the beats, and singing all the songs and having an amazing time. I’ve been wanting to see Combichrist do these old school sets and have always loved that era of the band. We also got to hear “Like to Thank My Buddies” and “Shut up and Swallow”. We also got a super rare treat for an encore Andy went back even further in his musically roots and pulled out an Icon of Coil song “Dead Enough For Life”, which got the crowd in a frenzy.

LUDACRIS : THE HALL AT LIVE

ATL IS IN THE HOUSE.

Ludacris came into Maryland at the Hall in Live Casino and brought with him the masses that were ready for a good time, good fun and good tunes.

Ludacris said it’s been a long time since he’s been back to Maryland and DC area. I loved that he just came out with his dj and his hype man and himself nothing else was needed when you entertain like Ludacris does. Whether you’re a fan from back in the day or a fan of his movies, Ludacris made everyone happy and made sure they were fully entertained.

Of course Ludacris played some of his hits songs like “Act a Fool”, “Move Bitch”, “What’s your fantasy”, “Get Back” and “Area Codes” but he also played some old school tracks and a few covers like “Holiday Inn” and “Yeah”. The crowd was hitting that good weed as well and threw some blunts up to the stage during “BlueBerry Yum Yum”.

Ludacris made a statement that his first album came out in 2000 and this next year is the 25th anniversary of the album. It was a great night and a great time, Ludacris knows how to keep the fans engaged and entertained all night. He’s very fan friendly and charismatic which makes sense that he’s also a great actor.
