I Anthrax pulls off the covers i

PORTLAND — Who plays covers of Ministry.
White Zombie, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys and
surfer tunes all in one set?
Anthrax does, or at least they did Sept 12 at Port ■
j land's La Luna
On the hand's last stop before heading off on a
| tour of Japan. Anthrax pulled out all of the stops
during their Portland show, particularly in the
encore.
No song seemed sacred while the group played
its final moments on stage.
Anthrax guitarists tore into the opening chords
of former opening act White Zombie's popular
"Thunder Kiss '65," much to the delight of the many
fans who had originally bought tickets to see White
Zombie, too.
Next, new load singer John Bush did his best Al
Jourgensen imitation by playing along with gui
tarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz, on Ministry's
"Thieves," the song of the moment during the
encore.
After that brief interlude, familiar Beastie key
board riffs rntw over the speakers. and fan took the
microphone in hand, singing the lyric s to "What
Ya Want?"
Fans seemed delighted to hear the variety of
material, and they were even more tu kind with the
closer. "Bring the Noise." the 1991 tune Anthrax
recorded with Public F.nemy.
The opening part of the show contained more
familiar material for one of the oldest speed metal
bands still around New songs "Room for One
More" and "Only" from the Hound of While Xtuse
album rei eived good response from the sold-oot
crowd, and "Keep it in the Family" got the pit
swirling.
Musically. Bush is a worthy replacement for for
tiier lead singer Joey Belladonna, however.
Anthrax sounds almost too good with Bush
The new Anthrax has that slick, quality, produced
sound that old Anthrax never hod Belladonna was.
as one fan said during the show, "more mush "
The only disappointing thing about the show
was White Zombie canceling One security guard
at the show said the hand dropped off of the tour
because it was going to film a movie.
An evening with Hazel — not bad
By Dave Charbonneau
i >'HQOn Daily Emerald
Sub Pop is making a single
handed attempt to cultivate a
"Portland Scene." using the blue
prints it kept from the huge part
it played in the now-tired Seat
tle thing.
Hazel is the latest Portland
(wild that Sub Pop is building up
as the next big thing. On Sept. to.
Hazel made only its second
appearance in Eugene at John
Henry's, promoting its new CD,
Toreador of Love.
If you're from Eugene and you
haven't seen Hazel before, you're
excused given the band has only
been here once before. But if
you're from Portland and didn't
catch them over the summer,
well, I guess you're iust not hip
Hazel is a three-pie* « plus one.
The one being Fred. a guv vvhos*<
sole purpose is to dance around
on stage doing that hippy dan*«
we've all come to know and love
here in Eugene. Unfortunately.
Fred was unable to make the trip
to Eugene because of an injury.
So that was an instant downer
(I guess) when Hazel took the
stage. Nonetheless, the band still
put on a great show. When 1 say
a great show. I'm referring to the
stage antics of the band, espe
cially those of drummer Jodi.
First of all. she set up her drums
right in between guitarist/vocal
ist Pete and bassist Brady, instead
of setting up on the raised plat
form
Throughout the show. Jodi
jumped from tier drums and ran
around, sometimes tn mid-song
Pete didn't have min h to se\
except, "We're from Portland."
which he said about six times
during the show.
And Brady even did the spo
ken intro to "Boog." whit h also
appears on the new album !
As for the music. Hazel played
most of the songs on the CD,
which. I guess, could be consid
ered the basis of the Portland
sound if there is such a thing.
The crowd, small in size,
seemed to enjoy it, but Hazel is
not a band known for attracting
those nutty pit-dancers It was a
good show to sit and drink your
beer by.
