SNG were shockingly awful. Yes the mix wasn't the best, but they played badly as a band and were really loose. Maybe I could hear them better because I was close to the stage, but the sound still wasn't great. Arno went completely off-key a number of times and acted like a crazy loose-legged looney bin inhabitant at times, Theo's guitar tone wasn't worthy of being called tone - an awful cacophany of fizzy, flubby, muddy uber-gain when all he needed was some classic crunch distortion - the drummer was Ok but still rather loose, the bass player was anonymous and didn't look interested at all. The only good part was the synths and trumpet guy, who did a good job and lifted what were often some pretty "meh" songs. Their hits were performed adequately though, but not fantastically. I used to have some appreciation for them, but this was just crap. The crowd seemed to love them, but everyone in my section hated it. Crowds at these sorts of things are usually taken up by the occasion, so that's the only reason I can think of that anyone would have liked the steaming turd the Nudies served up. Good thing they're no longer a real band anymore, so we're unlikely to be subjected to that again.
Don't hold back Mr T, tell us what you really think. ?
