This was a great tour of the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA!   We all parked in the artists parking area and checked in at the artist entrance, where we checked out the Green Room, the dressing rooms, backstage, the stage, venue, and premium seating options.    And we talked about all kinds of concerts –… Continue reading Pictures from Live Nation VIP Tour of Gibson Amphitheatre 3/21/2013

On the eve of her new album release, Orianthi appeared at a “Great Guitars” event held at The Grammy Museum to perform songs off her new album (“Heaven In This Hell”) and discuss her career with moderator and Grammy VP Scott Goldman.

I’m getting old.   I remember when Zakk Wylde joined Ozzy in the late 80s and going to several Ozzy concerts at Irvine Meadows  over the next few years.   The way he did “chicken-pickin’” along with playing metal with fast, screaming leads was always cool.    He often received mixed reviews, from “having a vibrato as wide… Continue reading BLACK LABEL SOCIETY ZAKK WYLDE UNBLACKENED at CLUB NOKIA 3/6/2013

  Uli is considered the godfather of neo-classical guitar playing. He’s awesome. He played a great show a few years back at the Ventura Theater. HIs band had a pretty unbeatable band with Bjorn Englen, Mark Boals, Adrian Galysh and Glen Sobel (blurry old iPhone picture for reference): He was back…

This show had everything you’d expect from a Monday night with Steel Panther at the House of Blues- funny jokes, women onstage, cool songs and special guests.  They played a lot of originals from the first album, a few from the second, some Van Halen, Guns and Roses and Poison before…

What a wonderful heavy metal Friday evening at the House of Blues Sunset with a cool party in the Foundation Room and a spectacular concert in the concert hall with a heavy metal icon. I must have inadvertently overlooked Doro and Warlock back when the song "All We Are"…

After the sun set on Sunset, the show opened with a S.U.N. set (ha ha). I’ve seen Brian Tichy play drums live quite a few times with several bands. I remember impulsively going to an Ozzy concert on a weekday in 2000. I had that day off work and got a call in the morning… Continue reading S.U.N. at House of Blues Sunset Strip 2/18/2013 opening for Steel Panther
