Trixter at M3
Trixter was the second band on the stage at M3, and I must admit I wasn’t very excited about seeing them play. I have seen them perform a few times in the nineties, and thought they were o.k. at best. I missed the beginning of their set, as I was in the VIP tent with Jetboy. I did make in for the second or third song of Trixter’s set.
I thought Trixter was better than I remembered them to be. Not perfect, but a fun band, and they certainly did their part to get the crowd revved up.
Last night, on my long trek home from M3 from Baltimore, I was listening to the Eddie Trunk show on The Boneyard on XM Radio. Eddie called Trixter a party band like Van Halen. I nearly wrecked my car. Did he hear the same show I did? Clearly Trixter, is nothing like Van Halen. The band did do a pretty fun set, but comparing the band to Van Halen is sacrilege.
You can view one of the clips and some pictures of the show below.
Aparently you guys never heard Steve Brown play guitar i will put him up against anyone. Rockin out in Seaside Heights Hitman
Comparing Trixter to Van Halen, in any Metal manner, shape or form, just signifies that quite possibly, that individual might have “caught onto” Hard Rock & Heavy Metal very, very, late in life. Let’s see, if I am having a raging party… which band do I crank up the loudest and longest? Hmmm. Tough choice for some I guess. Um, Van Halen gets my Metal vote. I could understand an ABBA fan getting this confused though.
