Review by
So the Pepsi Smash thing last night was pretty lame. And Queens knew it.
Someone I work with actually saw them on a plane coming to L.A. two nights
before... it was pretty obvious from the setup that they were flown in and
out just to play two songs for this new pop TV show.
It was taped in Hollywood in a hangar-like film complex with two very small
stages, bleachers holding about 400 kids and 200 standing on the floor. I
don't say "kids" lightly - mean age was probably 16.
Beyonce Knowles, the main event, performed three songs first, then came back
to do one more after QOTSA played. She was the obvious big draw, probably on
first so she wouldn't have to spend the rest of the day standing around
(like the rest of us).
Then came QOTSA on the opposing stage... the only real surprise to those of
us who have seen them in L.A. in the last year or so was Josh's new 'do -
which tells you how weak an event it was. He's got an red arrow sticking out
the back of his head, and it takes a second glance to realize it's his hair
cut in prepatory mullet form.
They played "No One Knows," then "Go with the Flow," and then a handful of
grips ran onstage to tell them, despite their pleas, that they couldn't do
just one more (which would have been "First It Giveth," no doubt). It was
like seeing Nirvana play "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Come as You Are" and
skipping "Lithium" for the umpteenth time. Roar.
Josh came out to the side of the room I wasn't on to shake hands and say
hello to two or three fans, but he was soon rushed out... I'm guessing to
catch the plane to Cincinnati to play today.
Audience seemed fairly into it, even though Trapt blew - I mean drew - the
most love from the crowd.
