Pagans MInd Live !!
« on: March 28, 2006, 12:53:17 AM »
:D Have just got back from seeing Pagans Mind at the Underworld in Camden . F***ing Storming gig !!!

Opening act were Soliquay [ i think that`s how you spell it ] imagine a group of 6 formers decide to form a Heavy Metal band & you`ll have some idea how they sound !!  :P  

Next up were Power Quest.  :D Have to say i quite like this lot, in an age were the fun seems to have gone out of H/M this lot were having loads of it on stage. Very Very tight band & as for the lyrics...sword & sorcery all the way !!! [ Yes i no C.H.E.E.S.E !!!!   :lol:  :lol:  :lol: ] but i liked it non the less. personal fav track of the night from PQ "Sacred Land"

Then it was time for Pagans Mind. I can`t tell you how highly i rate this band. Believe me when i tell you that for my money they had the BEST album of 2005 with the simply stunning "Enigmatic Calling" if your into Power Metal or bands like Iron Maiden/Queensryche etc then this lot will be right up your street !  :twisted:

There was about 150 to 200 people at the Underworld tonight a great shame as if this had been the 80`s then these guys would have been playing Hammersmith Odean etc, & all of you lot would have heard of`em ! :roll:

A great touch was when we entered the Keyboard Player with Power Quest Steve Williams i think was sitting at their merchandise stall signing T-Shirts & copys of the Album for fans !

PM put on a blinder of a perfomance & had a great sound. Me & my mate had a great time ! Personnal fav PM track of the night, "Entrance To Infinity/Homebound instrumental" absolutley top draw stuff !! For those of you that are interested & or can make it they are playing at the following

Mr Kyps - Poole 28th  March
Edwards No 8 - Birmingham 29th  March
Rio - Bradford 30th  March
Krash - Newcastle upon Tyne 31st  March

Go check`em out for yourselves !!

Hi mate

The turnout was good, its definately not as good as bloodstock but its still new days. There were a lot of Euro dudes there which was cool.
It was interesting and Cheltenham is a pretty chilled out place, I didn't bother with that cd as I was carrying booze most of the time.

I caught them at the Prog Power in Cheltenham and IMHO thought they were by far the best act of the day. They have a heavy Dream Theater influence to my ears. The guitarist is obviously an EVH judging by his kit and some of his licks.

Stunning band, I hope they get the wider recognition their music deserves. I've since bought two of their three CD releases.

:D Is it just me or doe`s the guitarist D-tune his guitar ? When we went to see `em my mate reconed that his guitar was down to a D with maybe the E down to a C ?

Glad you liked `em !   :D

Not sure is the answer! The bass response is certainly big which suggests tuning down. He also has a D-tuna fitted to his MM EVH.

I don't like em', I love em!  :lol:
