America Gets Mugged!
Simon Cowell has turned is scowl to rock & roll. The American Idol producers have created “The Next Great American Band” and as one of the contestants that have chosen our very own Motor City favs The Muggs! The world is about to find out what we’ve known for the past few years — Danny Methric and crew are a fantastic live band. Congrats to The Muggs, and we look forward to seeing you on FOX starting Friday, October 19 at 9pm.
Let’s take an MCR flashback to the 2005 Hamtramck Blowout. Mr. Gary summarizes:
Meanwhile, I floated over to Paycheck’s to catch a searing set from The Muggs, who once again proved that rock-and-roll in its purest form is most definitely not dead at Danny Methric put on yet another disgusting display of guitar solo fireworks, lacing into originals like “White Boy Blues” and a cover of The Beatles’ “Yer Blues” with furious fretwork. The band’s thick reading of “I Don’t Need No Doctor” (obviously patterned after the version on Humble Pie’s Rockin’ the Fillmore) was the set highlight, as Tony DeNardo laid down some solid bass-key work behind Methric’s guitar noodling. The crowd at Paycheck’s was so receptive to the Muggs that the band kept playing twice after its set had supposedly ‘ended’.
See you boys on the tube.
