Tad’s monstrous front man shakes Duffy’s
By Michael Deeds
Senior Editor
Much luss is made about the
immense, to be exact. 300-pound
physical presence of Tad Doyle, front
man of Seattle grunge band Tad. But
more impressive at Sunday night’s
performance was his stage presence,
an impending, catastrophic, mental
shakedown of Duffy’s Tavern, 1412
OSl.
Like “Hec Haw” gone frighten
ingly mad, Tad took the stage in bib
overalls, slung his puny guitar over
his belly, and belted into a raging
paean called “Behemoth,” from last
year’s “God’s Balls.”
“You will fall down, Behemoth
MOTHERF--ER,” he roared while
simultaneously beating the pulp out
of his sorry string instrument.
Everybody just sort of gaped.
But a few songs later, the 150 or so
Tadbangcrs who shelled out $6 to sec
the monster were thrashing about in a
blind pigsty fury.
Center stage bass player Kurt
Danielson took immediate control of
the exemplary head slamming, bob
bing up and down in long, deliberate
strokes the entire evening.
His vibrating low end combined
lelhally with drummer Steve Wied,
providing that ultimately Sub Pop
pish garage barrage that shakes inter
nal organs into vegetable stew.
The mealy guitars of Tad and Gary
Thorslensen fed back and howled
dangerously all night, threatening to
send their beers tumbling off the stage
monitors. But Tad quickly chugged a
good part of his pitcher, and moshed
into tunes like “Helot,” “Sex God
Missy” and “Glue Machine.”
Thorslensen preferred to keep his
back to the audience, apparently trying
to hear his screeching leads over the
wall of redneck sound purgatory.
Tad ultimately ground out 90
minutes worth of filthy, stinking grunge
to a circus audience that couldn’t
stand still.
For “Satan’s Chainsaw,” the go
liath ditched his guitar and snatched
the mike away from the stand, folding
his arms rap-style and hopping up and
down on the quaking stage. And if
this wasn’t enough of a R ichlcr threat,
without warning, lad sprinted for
ward and dove on top of the terrified
crowd, felling eight or nine helpless
saps.
Nobody was killed, but a few hearts
stopped - at least until the giant re
sumed for an encore of dirty feedback
that resembled Black Flag on an ether
binge.
“Lincoln is one of my favorite
places to play,” Tad told me before
the show.
We’d better hope it stays that way.

Stevie Ray Vaughan sets Omaha
on fire with legendary blues guitar
By John Payne
Senior Reporter
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Sunday night
performance at Omaha’s Music Hall
surprised no one. The guitar virtuoso,
referred to by many as a legend, was
expected to put on a great show, and
he delivered.
Playing to a near-capacity crowd,
Vaughan turned the tiny theater into
one huge happy party with his blues
drenched guitar riffs and rock-hard
vocals. By night’s end, he left anyone
who had hesitated to pay the SI8.SO
ticket price wondering why they had
even thought twice about it.
The quiet, unassuming Texan
improvised his way through a solid
20 minutes of instrumentals before
saying a w ord, a clear indication that
he is more at ease playing than speak
ing.
Faithfully backed by Double
Trouble, Vaughan finally addressed
his fans with a sincere “How y’all
doing?” in his trademark Southern
drawl. When the 2,5(X)-plus roared
their approval, he answered back,
“That’s good,” then tore into his
blues anthem, “Pride and Joy.”
Sporting a gold silk shirt, pointy
alligator shoes and a black, wide
brim hat, Vaughan’s theatrical attire
belied his understated stage manner
isms. But if he did look like he was
auditioning for the part of Batman’s
Joker, it also was just bold enough to
look very stylish.
His sound was clean and mean
throughout, particularly when he
slowed things down with tunes like
“Texas Flood” and “Dirty Pool.”
How one man playing a guitar
could be so entertaining is something
only God and Jimi Hendrix would
know, but one thing is certain: Artists
like Stevie Ray Vaughan completely
dispel ihe commonly held theory of
music teachers that talent can be
acquired.
Clearly, Vaughan was bom with it
-- he plays as il he were given a
Fender Slratocaster to play with in his
playpen rather than baby rattles and
Lincoln Logs.
Vaughan |)ounded out his South
em-fried licks for 2 1/2 hours, per
forming his guitar wizardry on
“Couldn’t Stand the Weather” and
the lively “The House is a Rockin’,”
his first encore song.
Just when the exuberant crowd
thought Stevie was ready to pack it in,
he electrified everyone with his sig
nature song, “Voodoo Chile,” the
Hendrix classic that Vaughan has made
his own.
Stevie Ray Vaughan is likely to go
on redefining blues guitar, but even if
he quits tomorrow he already has
earned his place as a bona fide rock
legend.
