not really a fan of reunions that include only
one single original member, but I’ll be glad to
make an exception for this version of TYGERS OF
PAN TANG. This version is killer!' Read

Heavy-Metal.it:
'And..
with the Tygers Of Pan Tang adrenaline starts to
rush to unimaginable levels. Today is indeed the
first time in Germany for some time now and is a
sort of test input for the band from Whitley
Bay. Therefore logical that the band
particularly hold our interest so nothing should
be left to chance and the Tygers would return to
roar so loudly so very few knew. Jacopo Meille
like no night like tonight is the pride flag:
thanks to the rock n 'roll spirit viscerally
assumes the role of genuine showmans showman and
pulls out a performance like a pro worthy of the
best. This feeling more like a concert than a
festival the band takes its crazy shot and it
takes very little to move the butt of those
present. The 'Tauberfrankenhalle' is in the palm
of their hands. As well, an irresistible
set-list: "Euthanasia," "Raised On Rock, Rock n'
Roll Man," the masterpiece of boogie rock "Suzie
Smiled" are all pieces with Jacopo taking a new
look and take on a vaguely bluesy style. There
is even the very classic "Gangland" and "Hellbound,"
as well as the gem of gems, "Don't Touch Me
There" the first song recorded by English band.
The concert ends with a thunderous ovation and
long deserved launch promotion of the new EP
"Wildcat Sessions" on the most fortunate. I do
not know why but I feel that the band has taken
a new course that will bring many rewards. To
date, the concert of the year. It is clear,
after a performance like the Tygers to do better
would have been impossible for anyone.'

Dremufuestias.de:
'Frankly I was somewhat skeptical that TYGERS OF
PAN TANG would be really good. But with the
first notes to wipe the TYGERS any concerns from
the table. Forget the rather average gig a few
years ago in Wacken! Contribute to the positive
surprise two facts: first, the songs are hard as
glass and thundered fresh from the PA, turns out
to second, the new vocalist Jacopo Meiller as
madness singer who sings the songs
incomprehensible sovereign. The type of course
is acting on stage when he was on board since
the beginning sounds, while powerful and lively!
And then the playlist: "Euthanasia", "Raised on
Rock," "Take It ',' Suzie Smiled", "Hot
Blooded", "Slave to Freedom", "Never Satisfied",
"Rock and Roll Man", "Hellbound "," Wild Catz,
"" Gangland, "" Do not Touch Me There "...
sensational and the best band of the whole
festival! Alertness level: fucking 150%!'

Defenders Of The Faith:
'I was not expecting much of the show Tygers of
Pan Tang, which I appreciate, but according to
general, are not stupid scene. Well we take our
money, because elders will simply the best
concert of the festival in my opinion. What a
feeling, what atmosphere, with people dancing,
which are partying around the pit. And then a
good set-list - "Wild Catz" :o) - along with the
intensity and pleasure felt by the audience
gives back to the music! The very classy
gentlemen!'

RockWind: 'The
Tygers sound really fresh and that’s to a great
extent due to the incredible Italian singer
Iacopo Meille who doesn’t sound Italian at all,
but instead possesses a fantastic voice in the
vein of Steelheart’s Matijevic.' Read the full review

The Asylum,
Birmingham, 6th September 2008: 'This is the third time I've
seen the Tygers this year, and they just keep
getting better. They've stayed true to their
classic roots, and yet sound new and fresh. With
the astonishing vocal talents of Jacopo Meille
coupled with the sheer quality of the
musicianship in the band, they are back on top
again where they belong. Dawn Irwin:

Komodo Rock:
''Animal
Instinct' which shows a band not just
comfortable with itself, not just comfortable
with their direction, but drooling at the mouth
with a blues fuelled classic rock album that the
world has been crying out for. Fire this album
up, and listen to modern rock n roll done the
old fashioned way. You won't regret it.'
