Coheed and Cambria....the verdict?
DO NOT WANT.
The only thing about their set which rocked was Richard Christy's intro telling the crowd at MSG he had so much fun watching them at Bamboozle he pissed his pants rather than get up to use a bathroom.
Other than that? Not so much. Shitty emo with the occasional Chris DeGarmo riff. At least they didn't fuck up their Maiden cover live, like Machine Head did last week in Newark. That was just disgusting........

Coheed and Cambria: one last chance.....
I have never gotten Coheed and Cambria. I keep hearing how they sound like Rush and Queensryche, how they have created their own mythology, and are the prog rock darlings of the kids. But personally, I don't hear it. They sound like any other emo band with semi-Metal leanings to me.
But I want to like them. I love that Dragonforce exists. Say what you want about that band, American kids are listening to Power Metal and that is good enough for me. And they took Turisas on the road with them! But C&C? I just don't get it.
Tonight I am going to see Slipknot at MSG, which I will review. Opening are Trivium and yes, Coheed and Cambria. I am really hoping the live show helps me get the appeal. Trivium I am not even trying to catch. Fuck that band. But maybe tonight will be the night.
To understand how Coheed and Cambria are almost, but not quite likeable please check out their cover of the Trooper, embedded below. Somewhere around where the synths come in and the esoteric vocal harmonies I'm lost. And there is nothing proggy about it at all!
