The show was GREAT!!! HCSS went above and beyond the call. Their ability to adapt to the venue reflected their sincerity to the fans. The setlist was excellent ( given the number of songs that they have ) and showed their diverse music talents. To have seen such a show at such a iconic venue is quite possibility a once in a lifetime event.
I mention the venue because without the Whiskey it could have been " just another concert".
The staff at the Whiskey went far beyond all requirements to meet the needs required to host the band and fans. They ensured that everyone in attendance was offered a safe and orderly venue and stayed on top of all aspects of the show throughout the evening. Their presence during all performances gave all the opportunity to enjoy a GREAT show. Most importantly I need to mention the girls behind the bar. They were bombarded time after time by thirsty fans and continually battled back to keep all involved very refreshed and happy. They were within themselves top of the list next to HCSS!!!
40 years of concerts from the USA to Europe and the Asian area and I have to say that the way this one was packaged produced a Top Of the LINE show well worth the 4 hour flight from the great state of Missisippi-Misippissi-??? Missipiss... ( Southern portion of the United States of America )

As the name would allude, Hardcore Superstar are experts in hard core rock music. The German outfit have been performing together for over fifteen years and with a wealth of experience and some serious musical prowess, they have gained a reputation that stretches far beyond their native land. Although neighbouring Scandinavia has an affinity with metal and hardcore, the band have travelled further afield to the UK and the States on the global tours promoting their nine studio albums.
The show is as intense as you would imagine and as the cold grey lighting hits the stage, it makes the band members look almost monochrome. The first few tracks are a showcase of what the group can do with huge instrumental breaks in the tracks and an overall manic atmosphere of screeching guitar and heavy vocals. The crowd begins to swirl and jostle as the intensity builds and by the time the group has reached 'Wild Boys' it is complete and utter pandemonium with mass moshing and fans charging towards the stage. After the lights cut to black, the bruised and battered crowd is still ready for more and they urge the quartet back out for a last performance of 'Moonshine' and 'Above the Law'.
The opening music of this evening sounds like it’s from a computer game. The lights are dark with flickering blue lights on stage as various members from Gothenburg natives, Hardcore Superstar make their way onto the stage. Their introduction fills the room, playing metal like they wrote it in 1984; even the modulations are exactly the same. This audience is having the best time, with their fists and horns in the air singing loud and proud to this ruckus led my Hardcore Superstar. “Moonshine” is one of the biggest songs of the set, seeing the audience singing along, and taking in the music before them. It’s good to hear this song especially since it’s recent free online download.
When they perform, it is no surprise that they have been playing music together since 1997. Despite his silly hat, the guitarist, Vic Zino has some real chops when he plays the guitar, running from the bottom of the neck to the top in a matter of seconds. It’s all about Joakim Berg’s vocal chops too, screaming into the stratosphere.
