I was there as well as Rockest covering the shows as a member of the media. My Rockfest review (with a large chunk being about Ratt)

Pretty cool write up. How did you like Volbeat? I have seen them 3 times now. I almost went to Rockfest just to see them. They are playing in OKC Saturday night but I am just too busy to make the trip.

Thanks to everyone posting, lotsa good stuff from all of ya... turn this into an 80s rock thread if you please

Here a couple faves from Dancing Undercover

Do you know how I know you're gay?

I saw Eddie Money in concert last night. It was fun, but he's definitely showing his age and mileage.

His daughter is in the band as a backup singer, though. She's, uh, fairly easy on the eyes. :drool:

Was he showing his age or just drunk/stoned. Last time I saw him, I was sure he was going to stumble off the stage.

He talked at length about being clean and sober. I think he had just done enough damage that it didn't matter.

:thumb: they say all popular trends come back around every 20 years or so, well its been 30 years or so and I'm still waiting for this kind of good time rock to make a comeback



Dang, she belongs in the fit chicks thread

She belongs in several of those threads. Her hair is much longer now, too. And the boobs look much bigger in person. Perhaps it was just the the fact that she was moving around.

I wasn't close enough to get any decent shots of her with my phone. Didn't stop me from taking a bunch, though. :D

That's cute. Try the Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Country Joe, the Yardbirds, the Byrds, James Brown, the Temptations, Steppenwolf, the Doors, CCR, Eagles (backing up Linda Ronstadt), and bunch I can't remember. It may be just Alzheimer's or I might just be getting old. Those were something to remember.

I did six albums on the last year for the biggest music library production company in the world. ALL 80's rock. Glam, Arena, Ballads, etc.

They gave me specific examples but the tracks had to be at least 10 beats per minute faster or slower and be in a completely different key, but still invoke the original. A verified musicologist had to sign off on every track, to avoid copyright infringement and I had to redo probably ten of the 72.

Suffice to say, many of those tracks are just killing it for us. The Def Leppard tracks are already doing well but so are the Whitesnake, Ratt, Priest and Skid Row (the Monkey Business track came out bad ass).

Anyway, despite what people say, rock is not dead.

Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places bro...

LMAO

I've known the guys for nearly 25 years. It's a parody band but that seems to elude their audience...

Rock may not be dead, but there aren't too many current rock bands that can sell out big venues anymore. It's been compartmentalized, and isn't what it once was. I'm fine with that, there are tons of unsigned/ smaller market bands that are easily as good as the garbage the radio feeds the masses as you well know.
