The
folks at the Bitter End were in for some great hardcore rock & soul by the
band Corey Glover & VICE. At 9:50pm,the band started with the driving rock
force of ìOriginal Sinî, followed by the rock ballad ìLast Temptationî,
featuring Mike Ciro doing some of the best fiery rock guitar soloing he has
ever done, along with some powerful drumming by Brian Dunn! ìRoseî started with
Mike doing a stirring mandolin solo.
Beautiful yet powerful
rapper, FIRE!!
The ballad ìOneî was followed by the King Crimson original ì21st Century
Schizoid Manî, a super-intense metal song with a female rapper named Fire who
thrashed about fiercely to the rock groove!! ìManifestoî was another smokiní
hardcore monster. ìLove Rears Its Ugly Headî did not feature the third verse
(about the wedding march)Öinstead Corey talked about loving his two kids and
wife, changing diapers six times a day, middle-of-the-night bottle feeding,
etcÖ.the wedding was no longer a dream, but a reality. Also, Eddie Martin added
some good funky bass, but Mike was killiní eardrums in the club with some of
the most lethal guitar riffs! ìI Was Made to Love Herî was followed by a mock
version of the Backstreet Boysís song ìI Want it That Wayî, which the band did
the verse and chorusÖbut Corey decided to stop and redo the same thing in a
slightly different manner. This version was 30 times better than the Backstreet
Boysís original because the band was rocking it!!! The last song ìDo You First,
Then Do Myselfî was the total hardcore rocker that ended the set at 10:55pm.
