Scarecrow and Fueled By Fire
Show Review 12-11-07 @ Studio Seven (Seattle, WA)
Well let's start out that driving to Seattle to check out the shows is not that bad!!!! When it is at Studio Seven or a few other venues I enjoy going to!! Well I attended this show with Mark from ROCK MY MONKEY. We got a late start so by the time we got there, we had already missed two opening bands and the third was in middle of their set!!
I really don't remember much of them in which is not a good thing!! But I do remember talking with Fueled By Fire (FBF) from Metal Blade Records. While enjoying a great conversation about old school music and bands SCARECROW was setting up and preparing to rip some souls out and they did Just that. I at times thought of several old bands that they sounded similar to and it was refreshing to hear just old school thrash again.
I must admit I thought I was looking at a Cliff Burton, Dave Mustaine and a few other old school players from the 80's but they still put on a great show!! Now on to the band that I truly was there for to see in the first place FUELED BY FIRE, yes these young men showed that good thrash does exist still. I was blown away with their Live Performance as well as their writing skills. To see Rick the new Vocalist / Guitarist switching Leads with 16 yr old Chris was sweet music to my Ears and the time keeping being done by Carlos and the Thumping Deep Bass feel of Anthony was right up my alley and what the Metal gods Ordered for the Night!!
This was one of those metal shows that you label as the best Thrash Show no one got to see!!! The only thing I was bummed about was the turnout for this show!! I know the club was not at fault by their selves I hold the local acts as well as all of us Metal Heads for not Supporting good shows!!
If you ever have the chance be sure to see either of these bands and go up to FBF they love talking music and hanging out!1 they are hands down one of the coolest bands I have had the pleasure of meeting and I hope to do many shows with them when they come through…….
