In a day of bands that come and go with members of the bands that are still playing as hard has it gets, regardless of sizes of crowds in the venue.

Warrant came to San Manuel Casino with a stage that elevates the band to a level that anyone and everyone can see. Members playing and strutting on stage to good old Rock and Roll, lead by singer Robert Mason on vocals, who halfway into the set strapped on a guitar and showed that he can play too! This was very high energy show and the crowd loved every min of the it! The band played two sets and shared most of the same songs for both shows. The lighting and sound of the show was very good! Loved the guitar leads by Joey Allen as well of the mix of Bass and Rhythm by Jerry Dixon…

First time seeing Steven and his band perform at The Rose. Music was loud and proud and everything I expected to hear from a former member and drummer for Guns N Roses. 14 songs in the set list with the encore included. Guitar and Drum solos worked into the set and the colorful and the talented Tanya O Callaghan rocked it on the bass! Looking forward to the next show when they’re back in town.

ADLER’S APPETITE’s current lineup includes former GUNS N’ ROSES drummer Steven Adler alongside Ariel Kamin, the singer of Argentinian GN’R tribute band SON OF A GUN, bassist Tanya O Callaghan plus guitarists Michael Thomas and AJ. Kamin replaced Constantine Maroulis of “American Idol” and “Rock Of Ages” fame, who was the vocalist for ADLER’S APPETITE for a dozen or so dates this past May, including an Australian tour.

Almost a year ago, I was at the Pacific Amphitheater at the OC Fair seeing guitar greats, Steve Miller and Peter Frampton. During the show, Miller told a story of how the two met 50 years ago during a recording session in London how their life-long friendship began. After five decades Miller and Frampton are back again for their second tour. This is the guitar event of the summer. On August 15th at the Santa Barbara Bowl Miller said how it’ll be 89 shows the two have played together by the end of the tour. This tour began June 12th in Indiana and has just seven shows left.

Before Frampton took the stage a pre-recorded announcement from Frampton came on over the speakers stating photos and video would only be allowed in the first three songs of the show. Being a photographer, this rule…
