Glenn Danzig turns up heat on Huger St. Concert Review * a -* ? f Bv DENNIS SHEALY Staff Writer Glenn Danzig was given a little preview of what he's always wanted last Friday night at the Huger Street Concert Hall. : Hell. Columbia's humidity and a few -hundred hot, sweaty bodies made the hall almost unbearable. The members of Warrior Soul, Soundgarden and Danzig all came on the stage already looking drained of energy. By the third song of each band's set the groups looked like they were ready to pass out. Two hours on stage is a tribute to Danzig's stamina. * But this isn't a weather report, we all know how hot Columbia is in August, it's a concert review and this was a truly incredible concert. The opening act Warrior Soul 4 wasn't bad, sort of a heavy metal U2. They definitely need to hone their stage presence ? they tended to just stand in one spot and play. The crowd seemed to respond to their set, but no one called for an * encore, when the.v left the. cfa ere Next came Soundgarden with . enough swagger and power to lay , waste to any arena. Soundgarden's interesting mix of Metallica aggression and Black Sabbath's old plodding had heads banging and bodies pushing towards the stage. Lead singer Chris Cornell growled the whole time, his range going from low rumble to castrato soprano. Through most of the show, he swayed just above the crowd, but at one point he dove into the throng of fans who moved him about above their heads then deposited him back on stage. Guitarist Kim Thayil, who looks like a long-bearded guru straight from the top of a mountain, stood transfixed, eyes half open, playing loud grungy metal like it's meant to be played, not like say, Poison. Bassist unknown (not the same guy on the album, unless he had a race change) jumped around, played hard and was occasionally in the wrong place at the wrong time to the amusement of the crowd and the band. If nothing else endeared Soundgarden to Columbia, their rendition of Spinal Tap's "Big Bottom Girls" for an encore certainly did. Danzig took their time getting on stage, but it was certainly worth the wait. Guitarist John Christ took the stage first, standing directly in front of his amplifiers to open their \ set up with the caterwaul feedback intro to "Long Way Back From Hell."
