Blabbermouth — KINGDOM COME has been blasted for its disastrous performance at the Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden, with one reviewer calling it the event’s “biggest fuckup.”

KINGDOM COME‘s current lineup consists of drummer James Kottak alongside guitarists Danny Stag and Rick Steier, bassist Johnny B. Frank and vocalist Keith St. John (formerly of MONTROSE and LYNCH MOB).

Original KINGDOM COME singer Lenny Wolf is not involved with KINGDOM COME‘s reunion tour, which initially came together to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the band’s self-titled debut album.

In his review of KINGDOM COME‘s June 10 appearance at Sweden Rock, Peter Johansson of the popular Swedish site Rocknytt criticized the band for the inclusion of “several lengthy, uninspired, uninteresting and completely meaningless solos on both guitar and bass”, saying that the musicians “completely massacred” one of their most popular songs, “Do You Like It”. He also singled out Kottak, writing that the drummer played “really badly, sluggishly” and at times failed to keep the tempo “worryingly throughout the concert”. At the end of the show, Kottak “stumbled to the edge of the stage to bow with his bandmates,” according to Rocknytt.

Also critical of KINGDOM COME‘s performance was renowned Swedish music journalist and guitar player Janne Stark, who took to his Facebook page to share a photo of the gig and he wrote in an accompanying caption: “I’ve never seen a drummer fall asleep on stage before but James Kottak is pretty damn close. Drunk? He slows down every song to half tempo. KINGDOM COME, sorry guys but this is SHIT! Edit: they actually managed to make it worse…. Bass solo”.
