ADONAI/TONY MATTERHORN/JARO
By Neil Diamond. Once again pics all courtesy of Allyson Ione

The Adonai, Matterhorn and Jaro Dance was the biggest in NY to-date. Large in a lot of aspects, one being it was a big stripe for Tony "Mentally ill to Kill" Matterhorn.

All who were in attendance can agree that all three sounds were in  top form but there is an issue to be addressed. I hear that there are differering opions in regards to who is the victor. Listen me Man, I am not going to review  play by plays round by round. I will sum up the entire dance and appeal the non-biased at heart.
Juggling
(l-r)Trooper, Matterhorn, and Scorpion
More Jugglin Jaro was the Big man out of the two sounds. Towering over Adonai and Matterhorn by 30-odd years experience. Anyone who expects to kill Jaro with traditional clash ethics will lose more than just a dance. This was a not a
vintage clash night Adonai (who is jamiaca's #1 juggling sound) has about three or more years in the business. Matterhorn (with out Addies) stands at least 1 year. So it would be safe to say that tune wise Jaro's clip was the
heaviest. But Momma always told me "It's not how much you have it's how you  use it." Matterhorn put this saying into use by capturing the biggest forward for the night with Tony Matterhorn's Anthem/Wayne Wonder/Baby Cham/Bounty combo. We can agree that the sound who gets the biggest forward
is the victor at the end of the night right.....that was Point 1.
Q Massive
In regards to the rule, no sound should play back tunes. Listen me Man. Every Sound in the dance play over tunes. According to Matterhorn if his dub sounds better he shall play it back and I didnt hear any complaints from the
crowd.

Regardless of who started the war. Matterhorn proved to be more creative than the veteran. Every sound got there share of boos but Matterhorn was the only sound to recover and still have the crowd railing for more.
Action's started

Big respect to Adonai. There Juggling was on point but the crowd was more interested in Matterhorn versus Trooper.

Well when the cassette (Audio and Video) is released all those who believe in the truth shall see where I'm comin from......

Blessed love.....

After all, that's my name ......Neil Diamond......Stay Tuned for MATTERHORN VIDEO INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE....
