Its the club Vince Neil created here in Vegas. There is a benefit show for the Las Vegas Fallen Officers. We're going to head out and show our support for awhile. Not too sure HOW I am going to do THAT but, we'll see! HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! |

I just thought I would comment on "Play That Funky Music". You can't escape that song around here.
The guy who wrote and sang that song is from Steubenville, Ohio. I lived there for twelve years, and live about
10 minutes from it now. I stay out of the bars now but at one time everybar, everynight, some one played that
song, either on the jukebox or live. I think his name is Rob Parise. I believe he lives elsewhere but every once in a while
he would drive thru town in a white Rolls' with the plate "Wyt Boy". He's a millionaire from that one song. He
owns the rights to the song and gets royalty checks still. It's amazing how popular that song actually is. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Friday, May 14, 2010 6:23:30 AM)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Thanks, Spa. While I wish I were able to say that I am carrying the torch for Metal and whatnot, I am not. We are not a Metal act. In fact , we do very little in the way of "Metal". Both our Priest songs are commerical in the highest (Breaking the Law and Another Thing Comin) and we play good ol' Paranoid which is more "classic rock" these days than Metal.
I was thinking about that last night. You see, while I do play for the love of music and all the passion that I have for it, I also play to get PAID. I know JD is likely ready to slit my throat now but, we play what the crowd wants to hear (Eve Six, Three Doors Down, Poison). Last night, we learned four new songs and, while I am happy to say that one of them is "Rock you like a Hurricane" (Scorps), the others are "My Sharona", "Good Golly Miss Molly" and....Bad Co's "Rock Steady".
I am really all for the "love of Metal" and all but the cold, hard reality is that playing small bars and clubs requires that we have a wide ranging set list and that we play things that all the crowd will like. For example, "Play that Funky Music" is one of our most popular! HA!!!!!!!!!!! (Of course, we "rough" it up some!) The reality is, we have to play what they want, not necessarily what WE like.
I have noticed that these "tribute" bands do VERY well here but they actually LOOK like the bands they portray! I mean, seriously ...! I saw a band yesterday called "Heart Live" and I could've sworn it was Heart! The girls looked just like them and they sang spot-on! I was stunned. There are a couple Van Halen acts here that are like that. With me, Priest is not an option. I suppose I look enough like Meatloaf to do that, but I cannot sing like him......HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Hello everyone, yay it's the weekend! Just been drumming, not sure which song to learn properly next (got the basics of each song sorted, just a matter of refining things when I get the time lol) - The Hellion/Electric Eye, Bloodstone, Heading out to the Highway or Desert Plains, LOL! |

Hmmmm...Bat Out of Hell and Paradise by the Dashboard Lights are not bad songs and I'm sure they would be well received by bar patrons... : )

And a FINE morning to you all!!! Appears that we are all quiet on the "front"...? EXCELLENT! Hanging in there over in my world. Keep expecting hot weather and getting crap!! All cloudy here today. Can we just have SUMMER already?????
Have a busy weekend coming up!! Going to see a friend of mine and his band play their first show this Friday and then we (my band) are all going to Vince Neil's club (Feelgoods) to hang with some friends that have a band playing there. I guess you could consider it the musical equivalent of "social networking"... HAAAAAAAA! Anyhoo, I get to run around town and act like a twenty-something for a couple days. Not too sure how on earth I will accomplish this but I am giving it the old "college try".
Behave yourselves! |

Yeah honorary that's what I mean, not a proper knighthood but an honorary one  and we know Bono is the king of the pains in the arse, whereas Scott kicks ass, which should equal honorary knighthood.

Well, I'm finally getting some strength back. Oy! Tough last couple days! Looks like all is well. I must say, it is so gratifying to see that all is calm and friendly here when I am away! Well done, all.
Trying to stay calm HERE as well. Saw the doc yesterday for my annual check up. Blood pressure and whatnot is Aces! The regular blood work is later this week but I have no reason to believe there will be anything to report! For some reason, that man is not meant to know, I have been blessed with remarkably good health despite my rather "unhealthy" way of life over the last fifty years or so! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing. If not for my weight, I assume I would be some sort of medical miracle. In any event, all is well and life keeps on keeping on... |
