Lady Gaga balances grace with bawdiness

By JASON BRACELIN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
If she ever had to walk in Dorothy’s ruby red shoes, she’d never want to peek behind any of Oz’s curtains.

Lady Gaga’s mission: to put the “art” in “artifice,” the “super” in “superficial.
In this context, appearance isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.

“We are nothing without our image, without projection,” Gaga announced as part of a pretaped video montage projected onto the towering video screens that bookended the stage during a sold-out show Thursday at The Pearl at the Palms.

This was the first of two nights that Gaga’s “The Monster Ball” tour would take over the venue in what the chart-topping changeling has called “the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.’ ”

I’m not going to belabor the point, this is the fourth time I’ve seen Journey, once with Steve Perry, once with Steve Augeri and twice with Arnel Pineda.
Journey is Journey and they are always amazing and put on a first rate show. Before the show Jonathon Cain was in the lobby mixing with fans. The show went on right at 8PM and they played a solid two hour set.
The only distractions were the venue. I was seven rows from the front, so I could see the whites of their eyes onstage. It was outside at the pool, which is huge and inviting, if it were July or August. Instead, it is October and it was 70 degrees with 35MPH winds that blew the suspended speakers and lighting rigs around like wind chimes, blew over chairs and made it too fucking cold to really enjoy the show. Even midway through the set Arnel donned a heavy jacket (see video below).
The other venue negative was the stage was too small to contain Journey—Arnel specifically, who had little-to-no room for his leaping,kicking, twirling and racing.It was like putting an overly rambunctious kitten in a small cardboard box.
There were projection screens on each of the stage, which people were watching and videotaping with their cellphones rather than watching the real thing on stage. Crowds were on balconies at restaurants watching as a full moon loomed overhead. Read the rest of this entry »

Aerosmith and ZZ Top in Las Vegas

Posted by King Lizzard On July - 26 - 20092 COMMENTS

Review by the Phantom Jackass.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Steve Tyler and Joe Perry

Steve Tyler and Joe Perry

I’m afraid this is the concert that broke the proverbial camel’s back. Last year saw a large group of classic rock concerts hitting the road, with Boston, Journey, Heart, Styx, anybody who was around back in the seventies was back again last summer. And of all the shows, only Journey and Trans-Siberian Orchestra were worth the trouble it took to get there.
This year it’s slim pickins. Only ZZ Top and Aerosmith together were promised to be the show of the year. Local papers were stating, “If you see only one concert all year, this is it!”
Unfortunately, the cost and the trouble to get to it and stay through it far outweighed the enjoyment.
You would think the hottest bands in America over the past 30 years playing in the hottest American resort town during a hot summer with hot babes wearing next-to-nothing would be a veritable gift from the rock gods. Instead, it was a battle to fight the traffic, with all valet parking being filled hours before the show leaving hundreds of cars anxiously roaming in search of a place to park before the show started.

Caprica (2009)

Review by King Lizzard

Rating: ½☆☆☆☆

I wasgoing to write a review on a show that I have come late into watching, but have come to like very much: Battlestar Galactica. I think its acting, music, story and special effects are top notch. But, again, since it is old news and the series has come to an end, all I can say is watch the whole damned thing from the mini-series beginning to the end and you’ll be just as hooked.
But now the new thing is Caprica. Since Hollywood’s going nuts for pre-quels, or shit that happened before the main event, it’s no surprise they threw this together. Read the rest of this entry »

Michael Jackson

Posted by King Lizzard On June - 29 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

Mike's last daysYes, yes, yes, we all know that Michael Jackson is dead at 50. It’s kind of hard not to notice, unless you’ve been living on fucking venus or something. But here’s some interesting facts. One of the most shocking is the coroner’s report which stated that MJ weighed 112 pounds (at 5′10:), was bald , covered with needle marks, had no nose and was missing many teeth. His body looked like an actual skeleton and nothing like the man millions had come to know, love and despise. Was MJ really a pedophile or , in his mind, was he still 10-years-old and thought his sleepovers and playing doctor were innocent? I think no one will know. Will he be cast to hell or heaven (if they exist)? I think that there are scales of justice, and if the good he’s done in his life outweight the evil then he’ll find a place in heaven. If he’s done more evil, then, well, you know. Read the rest of this entry »
