\"Cover_Mandowar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is as silly as it sounds. No, actually; it’s even beyond that. It’s daft. It’s a rape of metal classics.<\/p>\n

The concept: Three German guys\u00a0on mandolin, bass and guitar\u00a0make their interpretations of metal and rock songs. They mix things up a bit, make ‘funny’ plays on word (Hellboys from Cow – ha ha), add some polka, folk\u00a0and country.<\/p>\n

There are no sacred cows: Metallica, AC\/DC, Rammstein, Mot\u00f6rhead, Dio, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd get the treatment. If this had been a Saturday and I had been pissed out of my senses (which is not very likely since I don’t drink alcohol), this could probably have been vaguely amusing, but it’s not and I’m not. These three guys play well, and they’d do great for a pub band – their rendition of Wish You Were Here is actually really nice –\u00a0but\u00a0what they do\u00a0with the rest of the material\u00a0plainly stinks.<\/p>\n

Prost!<\/p>\n
