I have certain Tweets sent right to my 'handheld cellular device', this is a handy opinion for up to the minute scores and reports. On Saturday May 5th I nearly sledge hammered the thing it was literally jamming with Tweets from...
The Webster Theater. The Webster is my home town venue. Love that place (though the box office can be tricky) and I adore the whole 'hood location, its a fabulous real live rock and roll club. I have written about it numerous times, its just a great place.
Whomever was manning the tweets during the Arch/Matheos show- was nothing more than a spammer. Retweeting so often that I literally had to 'stop' receiving them. The enthusiasm of a 12 year old girl with Beibers boxers, the exclamation points were ridiculous. Just a tip on that, try to not appear like a fangirl with a band like this, its pathetic.
So imagine my surprise when this video surfaces. Arch is a super group with a Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos and former Fates Warning vocalist John Arch and rounded out by Fates Warning alumni Joey Vera (bass/ARMORED SAINT), Frank Aresti (guitars) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums/HALFORD). Basically this was limping Fates Warning, the reunion.
All well and good but still Twitter annoying. Until I saw the video. Let me tell you that getting video at the Webster is tougher than sneaking booze in to prom, so I am not sure how this can be 'fan video'..but its outstanding.
OK- so the show WAS that great.. but still no reason for Spam Saturday..check out the clip here.
