E
Intense band
pleases crowd
By Mark Munn
Staff Reporter
There was an energy in the air
and electricity pumping through a
crowd of several hundred people at
Omaha’s Ranch Bowl Monday
night, as they waited in anticipa
tion for the newly famed metal
funkers from San Francisco, Faith
No More.
Circus Of Power, a grungy, tat
tooed outfit opened the show. The
crowd didn’t care how good the
band was; they had decided to slam
to the mystique of the situation.
They were primed for the touring
stars.
People were being passed over
heads before Faith No More even
entered the scene. The crowd be
gan chanting for their heroes of
heaviness. As the boys look the
stage, the crowd pushed toward it
logela fresh smell. Drummer Mike
Bordin pounded out a rhythm, and
the band broke into “From Out Of
Nowhere.” The intensity and vol
ume instantly found the blood stream
of the crowd, and the bangin’ be
gan.
A few minor stage problems
didn’t slow down these mctal-funk
pop masters. They beat out most of
the songs off “The Real Thing,”
their latest LP and they added a
few new songs which were unfa
miliar to most. All that could be
seen of the crowd was hair flying.
Bouncers passed around pitchers
of water to cool the crowd off.
The finale came in the only
encore, when the band played their
rendition of “War Pigs,” a Black
Sabbath cover. Guitarist Jim Mar
tin reproduced the guitar solo to
the 32nd note on his one and only
guitar. Ozzic should be proud of
these boys.
The band will take themselves
and their giant lour buses west on
their way back to their homeland.
Don’t miss them next time around.
