Monster Magnet

[Axl4Life]

Why have they not played anything from 4 Way Diablo yet do you think?

I'd love to hear Blow Your Mind or Slap In The Face live. 


Speaking of gigs, just bought tickets to Skynyrd last night.

Why have they not played anything from 4 Way Diablo yet do you think?

I'd love to hear Blow Your Mind or Slap In The Face live. 

Going off the setlist its clearly a combination of old fan favourites and songs they really like themselves (going off past interviews), all I can guess is they aren't too keen on the songs.

Hard rock legends Monster Magnet release their 8th album
this October on Napalm Records.

Magnet songwriter and front man, Dave Wyndorf, describes "Mastermind":

"It's a big, beefy ball of demented anthems and power rock." He says with enthusiasm.

"The music itself is exaggerated and muscular. Like classic rock gone insane! Giant hooks, giant sounds. The rockers are direct and intense. The ballads, trippy and strange. It's guitar heaven."

 And the lyrics? Wyndorf laughs. "Well, the lyrics read like a fever-dream of life in the 21st century. Cynicism, optimism, satire, sex, deluded fantasies and dead-on reality. They're all here ? sometimes even in the same song!"

"In my world, images, information and emotions tend to intertwine. I?ll describe the smallest details of my personal life in crazy, cinematic terms. When I write, the words play out in my mind like scenes from a movie and that's the vibe I tried to capture on "Mastermind" ? rapid-fire emotion. What can I say? I'm having a weird life and I have to write it down that way."

"In the end though," says Dave, "Mastermind ROCKS, and that's what's most important."
