Click. - _Live At The Thirsty Whale_

Man... I knew this wasn't gonna be good when I heard the opening words on this live demo: "Okay folks, we have a unique musical presentation for you." Let's just say I wasn't looking forward to what was around the bend. With a mixed bag of original and cover songs, a really bad live recording and horrible editing, four-piece rock'n'roll/metal outfit click. plow through their material with a very lackluster performance. Most of the time, the vocals are off-key, and the music is just plain mediocre. Nothing really stands out. And I hate -- *HATE* -- when bands cover songs I like and butcher them. Case in point: Alice In Chains' "We Die Young". They even manage to throw in a few more covers: Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" and is that a Ratt cover (the song "Breaking Point")? This demo bites big time, and that is sad, 'cause I really like live recordings/bootlegs.
