The venue was An Club, an underground place that fits perfectly with the underground character of the band: heavy rock, horror movies, booze and maybe the feeling of being totally wasted\u2026An club was full packed and everyone was really waiting for this show. Also the merchandising seemed to be very busy , many persons were interested in material from Orange Goblin .<\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>The first band Lucky Funeral was into sludgecore with an impressive stage appearance and an\u201d in your face\u201d attitude. Sounds from Pantera music and an image that refers to the modern\u00a0 model of a citizen that is into the decadence of the Western civilization\u00a0 : beer, TV, junk food. The whole image of the band was paying tribute to this human model without criticizing this but considering it as an ideal way of life. The use of this model is being transformed in lyrics and sounds through the band&#8217;s\u00a0 attitude.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/lucky_funerall.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second band, Lord 13 has been a brand name in the rock scene of Greece. They are quite professional on stage and it seems that have influences from mainly hard rock bands such as Guns N Roses or other Glam punk acts. Really cool performance\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/lord_13_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When Orange Goblin came up, the fans were really enthusiastic\u2026maybe almost ecstatic! Time has left the marks at the members cause they\u2018re not teenagers anymore but they really live their rock n roll way of life regardless of their age and of course that\u2019s good.\u00a0 The singer was jumping around, full of sweat, beer and fun so he was wiping the audience along with him. The audience was replying to the band\u2019s calling with stage diving, slam dancing, flying shoes, and psycho attitude in general. The live sound was rougher than the alums, so the most atmospheric moments of the album were gone and were replaced by bombastic drums and distorted guitars.\u00a0 I guess that the fans got what they wanted\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/orange_goblin_1.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/orange_goblin_2.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/orange_goblin_3.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/orange_goblin_4.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/stories\/images\/Persons\/orange_goblin_5.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday night was going to be a stoned one\u2026The giants of stoner rock, Orange Goblin&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-live-in-greece"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
