More Ramblings...

That rumored tour of DEF LEPPARD and POISON is officially official. This after rumblings that it might not happen, due to some reported tensions between the bands. Maybe Bret be bringing along a recent new girlfriend he found on his VH1 show Rock Of Love Bus?? After catching this weeks episode, I can't help but thinking he can do better the old fashioned rock n' roll way...by having his crew find him hot chicks to invite back to the "love bus" after the show.!

Being hooked as I have been to VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, it's now on to Sober House on VH1. How about that Steven Adler? Is it not amazing that the former GUNS N' ROSES drummer is still alive after all the years?!! He continues to perform with his "Adler's Appetite".

I have yet to see them myself, but hear it is the closest thing to the real and original Gn'R anywhere. Hard to watch his fall on Sober House though, even with the knowledge that he must be better than that these days...right??

Check out his heart-to-heart with Dr. Drew here...

until next time...

A Few Ramblings...

First, check out this video tribute to 80's metal and hair bands...(caution - some adult words!)

This week we play a Lost n' Found tune from once-Rainbow-keyboardist TONY CAREY. Forgot to mention that he, along with other past RAINBOW members, have actually reunited! Featuring JOE LYNN TURNER on vocals and J.R. BLACKMORE (yes, son of Richie)...they are calling themselves Over The Rainbow. Right now they are slated only for European shows in February...

We have had requests to post past show play lists on the website. We are working to find a solution. In the meantime, check the site starting Monday after the weekend to find out what was played on the show. If we are a little slow to get the list up, please keep checking back. As always, if you have any question as to what we've played...fill out the form on the site and we'll get right back atcha!

That's all I have for now...

Enjoy your weekend.

A Triumphant Return!

If you do listen to the show each week, you might pick-up on my excitement about the TRIUMPH reunion tour this year. Although details have yet to be announced, I am told that some info is expected soon. Cannot wait! We will definitely be doing an "evolution" tribute to the trio (much like we did for VAN HALEN and RUSH) this spring.

I also found out something that you TRIUMPH music collectors should know about the song "Tunnel Power". This song has been listed in a reputable rock music chart reference book as available only the cassette release of "Never Surrender" in 1983. In my pursuit of this song through the bands management team, I found out there was never a song with this title available by the band in any form. WHAT! I have been trying to chase down this song for the past 10 years!!

Just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read...even if it's in a book that should be trusted for it's "accurate" information. I'll never look at the dictionary the same way again!

Rockit.
