Turbonegro & Early Man @ Webster Hall | No Pics

TURBONEGRO
Turbonegro

"@#$@#$@#%#@$@#@@!"

That was my reaction when I got home from the Turbonegro / Early Man show @ Webster Hall last night (Oct 11, 2005) and my computer claimed my camera's memory card was blank (again). Long story short, my photos are gone forever. #@$#@#@! See above photo and know why it sucks even more than, for instance, if I lost pictures of the Shins.

A few of the Turbonegro songs were fun, but mostly their schtick seemed old. They called the Strokes whores, and dedicated Sell Your Body to the night (click to download MP3) to them.

Early Man

Though I missed at least half their set, I liked Early Man. I don't listen to a lot of new metal, so I'm not really qualified to say how they compare to what's currently out there. Regardless, they sounded good, and Matador thought they were good enough to sign. They're a new metal band, but they aren't "new metal." Coolfer called them neo-metal. I'd compare them to Black Sabbath and early Metallica. Oh My Rockness say they slay.

Their album ("Closing In") came out this week.

Turbonegro was boooooring. I don't care for half-cooked Marilyn Manson posturing at shows. It all seemed very dated.

Is it just me or does that hairy man look like a very bad rip-off of King Diamond?

It's not just you.

Oh, I saw them open for QOTSA a couple years back (Nick Oliveri is a huge fan, and came out to play with them) and they were a hoot. That's how you want to see them, though: As an opening act.

A Turbonegro/Goblin Cock double-bill would get me in the door.

Props to anyone who writes a song called "Hobbit Motherfuckers."
