 Xavier_96 OneRepublic: 4.25 stars out of 5 PRETTY F'IN GREAT OneRepublic had been off the Dutch festival radar for a few years since their last visit back in 2015. However, their latest album has ensured a comeback and a great one. Would've been a better headliner in terms of music than Robbie Williams Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
 Xavier_96 Di-rect: 3.5 stars out of 5 COOL GIG Definitely one of the biggest Dutch bands at the moment! Nice gig, just a little soft in style, I would've preferred Spike to play some more solos and effects Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
 Xavier_96 Hollywood Vampires: 4.5 stars out of 5 AN EARLY HEADLINER Insiders have heard for a long time about this project in which Alice Cooper shares a stage with Joe Perry (Aerosmith) and Johnny Depp since 2015. The setlist is a mix of own, obscure material, great covers and some original work. Alice Cooper's voice hasn't changed into his 70s and he still enjoys the road enough to go on tour with the Alice Cooper band, right after this tour finishes. Still an amazing front man who knows how to play with his audience. 'School's Out' is still a perfect finisher of the set. Joe Perry shows that 50 years after Aerosmith started, he has become more and more of a fantastic guitar player. 'Walk This Way' is still a song that inspires thousands. Yet Perry's voice never made him famous, and that remains to this days. And unexpected great singing voice appeared with Johnny Depp, his voice truly suits Bowie's 'Heroes' as no other since the musical genius himself passed back in 2016. Another, more obscure cover of 'People Who Died' with Depp on vocals leaves a big impression showing many friends who passed: 'Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Kurt Cobain and Taylor Hawkins' to name a few. Depp's guitarwork impressed me, having heard some footage from their early days where there was still room for improvement. It seems the guitar was his way through the divorce. The 4th, less famous vampire, Tommy Hendriksen is probably the least famous, but also a really good guitar player with plenty of interaction with the audience. All in all this is the type of gig you never want to end, and one that I would happily redo on a future tour if it happens. Great experience and probably a big surprise to the less prepared at Pinkpop! Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
 Xavier_96 Red Hot Chili Peppers: 5 stars out of 5 FRUSCIANTASTIC A former biggest band in the world, still going strong. Even though their most popular days are long gone in the 'Californication, By The Way and Stadium Arcadium'-era Anthony, John, Flea and Chad still perform like the animals they were back then. Anthony may have gotten a little older, but he's still jumping around with his left ankle in a brace to prevent further tendon injuries. His voice sounded pretty good this night, a lot better than during their previous visit back in 2016. Flea still proves to be one of the best bass players of his generation. Chad Smith and himself make one of the best rhythm sections, without any mistakes and a lot of funk. And then, John Frusciante, the man who returned to the Peppers again. And how much of an impact that made. After his latest departure, the guitar (played by Josh Klinghoffer) had become almost part of the rhythm section on 'I'm with you' and 'The Getaway'. Flea's bass seemed to make more impact there. But then in 2019, something happened which most fans didn't expect. Frusciante returned, covid kicked in so there was plenty of time to write and record, resulting in 34 (!) songs on 'Unlimited Love' and 'Return of the Dream Canteen'. No masterpieces in itself, but songs like 'Black Summer' and 'Eddie' seem to do well under fans. This concert was a great mix in songs, a way to hear some of their hits that weren't played with Klinghoffer back in 16' such as 'Under the Bridge'. And above all, this was one of the best concerts I have seen from any band at all. Difficult to top this one, but this Peppers line up is magik. Pinkpop festival Apr 21, 2025
