Just what I would expect from a non-musician who can't appreciate what it takes. You probably couldn't play your CD player without hitting the wrong note....
They played very well. Guitarist was NOT as fat as Leslie in his prime, no way, trust me. Leslie was just smart enough to not wear muscle T's! ;) They also have a nice tone, but nowhere near the tone Leslie got from his Les Paul Jr. As for the bass, very good, but bass not nearly as deep as Felix's EB-1 violin bass. Thats what made Mountain so special, their sound was truly trademarked, and no ones "infringed" it yet.
Yeah, I'm way 70s old school and I thought, nobody can do Mountain. They did, great drumming, bass and nice leads. For all you haters these guys covered all the bases.
THANK YOU for "Tributing" such a LEGENDARY BAND. Sure its not as Good. But it shows you just how much MOUNTAIN and LESLIE WEST meant to the world. Great music is just that... GREAT MUSIC!
"Doing Mountain justice" isn't really the point in live music, unless one is a Mountain-freak who listens to one artist only and checks out if any cliché is emulated. And one thing that is clear here is: these boys simply deliver with a lot of soul and a deliberated despise for exactly emulated playing. I like it better this way. Tribute? The word "tribute" is simply awful anyway. Why care for tags as "tribute" when a band is rocking?
I was in the audience on this particular evening, and as I came to know these are members of great underground brazilian rock bands. They seemed to have a great big ball just playing some of the music they fancy to an audience who wanted to have fun instead of doing any serious analysis.
Oldschool, Newschool,- Fuckschool
I saw the wimp, the blimp, and the chimp in '71
- And These guys hit it right between the eyes-
Nice job on the cover.

the bass tone actually isn't bad..it approaches Felix's.. just needs to be brought out in the mix.
Judging from the guitar+vocals being split by 2 guys, and the GFR song title for a name, I really doubt these guys are exclusively Mountain anyway.

What's everbody complaining about? They did alright. So, they can't play it as good as Mountain; few can. The singer is excellent.

Tribute? Felix forgive them, for they REALLY know not what they do.

Drummer is not Corky. As a matter of fact, the whole band is not doing Mountain justice.
