HALLOWEEN TRIBUTE COSTUME MADHOUSE
On Friday October 31st Detroit Live Magazine threw the ultimate Costume/Tribute Show at the All Around Bar in Taylor. This year the crowd of zombies, vampires, ghouls and sexy everything’s was topped off by tributes to Metallic, Rob Zombie, Ronnie James Dio and Judas Priest. Yes, that’s right…Detroit Live jammed the ultimate metal tribute show right on top of one of Detroit’s best Halloween bashes to create one of the year’s coolest costumed music events.
Metallic until later in the evening yet since we were so heavily steeped with incredible metal tributes someone had to kick off the evening and T4H were happy to do it in style. The powerful sound of these guys, who most days of the year are known as the band “Overstone” conveyed the feel and vibe of Metallic perfectly and set the pace for a fantastic evening.
Next up was Rob Zombie Tribute Thunderkiss. Thunderkiss is a band Frankenstein’d together from elements of Underland, Ray Street Park The night kicked off with “The Four Horsemen” and various leftover pieces of long deceased tribute to Metallic. Generally we’d like to save Detroit bands. Opening with More human

that Human complete with actual samples Thunderkiss gives the impression that you are truly at a Rob Zombie (with slightly less moshing). The aspect of Thunderkiss that gives it an extra level of zombie authenticity is the spot-on samples. The ultra high energy performance left true Rob Zombie fans drooling for more. The performance included a version of the Rob Zombie version of the Grand Funk song American Band and closed out the set with the infamous 1965. If you haven’t seen Thunderkiss make sure you catch them next time, they are a must for RZ fans. cont. on 29
