This show was very revealing. I don't know who SN wants but each rocker has presented their own style. Storm Large – David Bowie “Suffragette City” & “(What the F*uck is) Ladylike” The best set of the evening. Her “Suffragette City” gives a new meaning to “Wham-Bam, Thank you mam!” I don’t like mixing rap and rock but her song had a lot of energy and it “was” Storm.
Lukas Rossi – Bon Jovi “Livin' on a Prayer” & “Headspin” The rearrangement showed that Lukas, unlike Bon Jovi, doesn’t have any hope his prayers are listened to by an higher power, much less answered. It was strange but it perfectly set up “Headspin”. That song was profound and well presented.
Magni – The Beatles “Back in the U.S.S.R.” & “When Time Comes” This Beatles song hasn’t aged well to say the least. Magni showed he has no flash. His original had the hardest, meanest guitar riff. Its style was the closest to what SN has presented as their sound.
Dilana – The Who “Behind Blue Eyes” & “Supersoul” Her voice was stirring as always and at least her cover version wasn’t Limp! Her original was very weak.
Toby Rand – The Killers “Mr. Brightside” & “Throw it Away” The guy knows how to have fun. I don’t see SN as a “Boys Band” but they have reached the age where some men have mid-life crisis and maybe they feel Toby can help them with the young crowd! His whole set, especially his original, was juvenile at best.
