“More Than Meats the Eye” is what happens when McDonald’s worst nightmare Mac Sabbath books a tour with a bunch of Transformers and they all Drive Thru the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on a warm Thursday evening.
Mac Sabbath has an incredibly entertaining take on food via Black Sabbath songs like ‘Organic Funeral’ (Electric Funeral), ‘Sweet Beef’ (Sweet Leaf), ‘GMO blind’ (Snowblind), ‘Frying Pan’ (Iron Man) and ‘Pair-a-Buns’ (Paranoid). They may have run out of Black Sabbath songs to parody, as they also added a KISS song ‘Love Buns’ (Love Gun) and a Motorhead song ‘Grill My Pet’ (Killed By Death) to their repertoire.
The between-song banter between Peter Criss Cut Fries and Ronald Osbourne did eat up quite a bit of the clock, but it was downright hilarious and was a great part of the set. This included more fun with food (and band names) such as CinnaBon Jovi, Spinal TApplebees, Iggy Popeye’s Chicken, Dairy Queensrÿche, Burger King Diamond, Almond Joy Division, Bauhaus of Pancakes, Agent Orange Julius, Dead Kenne Denny’s, and Leftöver Cracker Barrel, just to name a bunch (there were more).
Phoenix’s Playboy Manbaby opened the show.
San Francisco was merely the second show on this tour, and with 28 more to go all-around the U.S. and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (with Coheed and Cambria)… do not sleep on this and miss it!
