Music reviews of Fozzy
Music Review: Fozzy is in the early Spinal Tap stage...
Rating: 4 Stars
For those of you who probably read my review of Fozzy's "All That Remains," I had become interested in the band because of Chris Jericho being the vocalist, and being a "Jerichoholic" myself (although I refuse to watch WWE anymore), I wanted to check this band out. I had heard "Happenstance" before the other two, and bought "All That Remains" when it came out. Not long after that was when I purchased their debut album from 2000, and here is where the spoof begins. By spoof, I mean that the band (which is also partially the rap-metal band Stuck Mojo) originally started out as. Much like Spinal Tap, the story of Fozzy goes that they spent the last 20 years in Japan being megastars and once they return to America, they realize that many famous artists have ripped off their songs! Naturally, this isn't to be taken seriously, just a funny concept with which to shell out some cover songs and two of their own.
The album kicks off with their cover of Dio's Stand Up and Shout, an awesome anthemic rocker from one of Metal's greatest bands. One of their best covers by far. They also do outstanding covers of Krokus' Eat the Rich (with some particularly good vocals from Chris Jericho here), Ozzy's Over the Mountain, and Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry. Their most perfect cover, I think, is their version of Motley Crue's Live Wire, with everyone in fine form (they even got the solos right here). The Scorpions cover Blackout is not that great, but decent overall. The only ones I was disappointed with were their covers of Iron Maiden's The Prisoner (although it had a funny intro making fun of the original show) and Judas Priest's Riding on the Wind, which sounded really lame to me. The original song was rich and heavy; their cover sounds static and sparse.
The two "original" songs of theirs are End of Days and Feel the Burn. Feel the Burn is the only indication that they would adopt the modern metal sound later on (when they turn into a serious rock band), and it's a decent rocker. End of Days is a classic, 80's sounding metal tune which fits in perfectly with the cover songs. It makes me wonder why they didn't include more like this on the album, or even why they didn't produce any more songs like this on "All That Remains."
Overall, I find their debut to be a decent CD from Jericho and the boys, although I found their later albums to be more required. Still, for what it's worth, it's a decent cover disc, and the band would ultimately improve on their next album, "Happenstance."
