Well... I went to this event called "Classic and Old-School rock event" which was in Amoon theater, from 5 - 8 PM, organized by two guys, whose names I won't say, for a ticket price of 5 JDs.

The opening band was Plain Steal, who played heavy and thrashy metal, and they were awesome, eventhough they were under 18!! The played The number of the beast, enter sandman, and other stuff I can't really remember right now, anyway, they rocked the place, the interaction between the band members and the interaction with the wohle audience was amazing, the band members knew what they're doing... in a way.

Anyway, here I would like to concentrate on three things:
1) Plain Steal is an opening band.
2) Plain Steal band memebers were less than 18 years old.
3) They ROCKED the place, with about 5 - 7 FULL songs.

Now it's time for the "Under Construction" review...

First of all, the whole event was organized by a couple of members of the band.. well.. the sound system SUCKED! The speakers couldn't handle Metal/Rock, and the equalizers, well.. you could have managed them better... A CHILD COULD HAVE MANAGED THEM BETTER, but I'm not sure about that because the speakers SUCKED, so I can't really judge on that, maybe the whole thing was the speakers' fault.

Secondly, I don't know where to start, actually, should I start with how much the guitarist SUCKED, well, yeah, maybe I'll start here. The band members are good, I liked the Drummer, but his drumms failed him a couple of times, the basist, and the lead guitarist, but he did do a couple of mistakes, but he compensated them with a nice solo, as for the keyboardist, he wasn't really THAT good, and being a vocalist and a keyboardist, I DON'T THINK SO, his voice is not a vocalists' voice, it is more of a karaoke-singer's voice, after that came another vocalist, or was he the same one - I'm not sure - anyway, he sucked the same, if not even worse, I'm sorry, but that's the truth, his voice was just aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

As for the rhythm guitarist.. DON'T GET ME STARTED!!! Come onnnnn, how the hell can he call himself a guitarist? He has no comprehension of the term "timing", he's like a person living in his own world, playing in his own band, and the problem is that he thinks he's a god, he can't stop talking about his playing...

Well, the question now is... why did I concentrate on the three points mentioned above?

Well, here's the answer... Under Construction said that they're gonna play for the following bands:
1- Scorpions
2- Pink Floyd
3- Axel Rudi Pell
4- Europe
5- Rainbow
6- Nirvana
7- Twisted Sister
8- Skid Row

Well.. let's do some calculations, the concert started with Plain Steal at about 5, and were done at about 6, so that's 6 songs/ hour, well.. that's good for an opening band with members' ages of 18 and less, on the other hand.. Under Construction had about two hours to play songs for 8 band, about 5 minutes per song (Plus or minus a minute or two), that's about 20 songs, with breaks and stuff, well.. let's say about 15 songs in 2 hours, good enough right? Well..THEY ONLY PLAYED THREE SONGS, THREE, and the guitarist played a solo or two with the drummer, like.. a jamming session.. other than that, they played NOTHING, they just sat, and some guys started going up on the stage, playng with the mics and the keyboards and drums, it was like a kindergarten, I swear, it was like a kindergarten's playground on recess!

The thing is, I DO regret paying 5 JDs for such an empty, boring and badly organized show, and I kind of knew that some of the Under Construction's members suck, because I went to their last gig, and believe me, it wasn't as bad as this one, but I still went:
1) To show my support for the scene, and because Under Construction's drummer is my friend.
2) I though I'd give Under Construction a chance
3) To hear Plain Steal since I missed their last show.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be giving "Under Construction" another chance, because their name really describes what they are, they ARE, in fact, still under construction, and they haven't even started with the building, yet, they're still digging down in the earth, and yes.. the DID hit ROCK BOTTOM.
