I've been to the Hardcore Superstar concert on Götaplatsen, Gothenburg today. I had a really great time. But some things bugs me with HCSS.. And that is the guitarist who replaced Thomas Silver. Sure, Vic is a great guitarist and I personally love the guy as a proffesional guitarist with a lot of feeling to his playing! But on some of the old songs which Silver plays on originally, he plays the wrong notes on a lot of parts as far as I myself can hear with my guitaristear, and also the most irritating thing of all... When Vic came in he brought a more Heavy metal style to HCSS which really doesn't fit.

Now they tune down the intruments to D and drop C. Which makes the classics unreacognisable. And that is really just a pity since I love the classics such as She's offbeat, Bag on your head and Wild boys. But I did almost not reacognise the guitar riffs. They were so much darker that you barely can hear it's them. No I just say one thing: for all the songs prior to Vic, a Thomas Silver is needed and the instruments tuning need to be in half step down or E standard. Otherwise Vic is great! But HSCC ain't itself without Thomas!
