What do Twisted Sister, Great White, Kix, Nelson, Danger Danger and Anthrax all have in common? They're all playing this year's Rocklahoma Festival. Okay. Now. 'Thrax have always been the most glam-friendly thrash band. They've toured with Motley Crue and done shows with Twisted Sister and Sebastian Bach before, and Scott Ian's unabashed love of all things [...]
First Maynard, now this. Look: I fucking love Vegas. I was there for New Year's once and I think I had pretty much the best fucking night of my life. But part of what's so fun about that town is how friggin' ridiculous everything is; it can't be taken seriously at all, and if you try to [...]
Imagine it's sometime around 1989. You've just spiked your hair and combed your sweet mullet, or used a half-can of Aqua Net on your four-inch-high bangs. It's Friday night, and your jeans are tight. It's time to go see Great White. You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group Halfway home in the parking lot By the look in her eye she was giving what she got Seems like their set is a bit short... Your voice [...]
We've told you before (here and then here) about the nefarious Uniformed Fire Code that threatens to shut down a handful of local venues--among them Exit/In. The ordinance was first passed in May of '... Continue reading "Make It Rain: Exit/In, Others Threatened Once Again by Sprinkler Ordinance" >
El vocalista Jack Russell y el guitarrista Mark Kendall , jovenes californianos que pasaban gran parte de su tiempo libre pescando tiburones, decidieron en 1981 formar una banda. Amantes de bandas como Led Zeppelin o Aerosmith , intentaron orientar su sonido en aquella dirección. La banda de Rusell y Kendall se llamó en principio Dante [...]
It's been a very political week in what will surely be a political year. McCain managed to find some hot redneck babe in Alaska who was more conservative than himself and more tied to oil companies. Obama picked a dude as old and white as McCain. Hell, the police riot on the first day of the RNC was way bigger than the one at the RATM show. Jose says when in doubt vote brown. [...]
Requiem for a Dream director Darren Aronofsky hasn't really been heard from since 2006's near flop The Fountain .

Great White have offered a settlement of $1 million to survivors and relatives of victims caught in the nightclub fire in February 2003. [Part of Rhode Island nightclub fire coverage]
Once again this pathetic sequel to the greatness that was ROL 1 fails to live up to the original in a pivotal situation. I mean, who could forget Lacey's dad saying that THE Bret Michaels would have to sign a prenup to marry his daughter? And how about Heather's "I saw you sucking his d%#k on the balcony" bomb? Instead, we get a redneck, a biker with cancer and Daisy's ex-boyfriend's sister. We get no blowjob blasts, no 20 questions of Bret...just amicable people being amicable and making shitty reality TV. You know it's a slow week when you look [...]

Another week and another chapter in the ongoing saga that is [boom voice] ROCK OF LOVE [/boom voice] . This week Brett brought in 3 of his favorite groupies to grill the five wannabeagroupies. As a note to where Poison and Brett really stand these days none of the "superfans" were around for the 80's heydays. But then, could you imagine how busted the groupies from back in the day probably are these days: yeah. it's best to stick with the new-era groupies. [...]
After this post from Best Week Ever , I was gonna do a post called "A Pack of Wolves". As there are oodles of bands with "wolf" in the title. Instead, The Duke will feature bands with the word "Great" in their name. Fourteen bands to be exact. In beta-alphaical order: The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain ~ Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps The Sixth Great Lake ~ Everybody Loves To Be Loved The Late Greats ~ [...]

I know, and I can't apologize enough for being a slacker. Not like you care, but I'm having a life, and blogging is exhausting and takes time I don't have. So...there you have it. >>On the local front, last weekend I actually went to a show. I went to Vinyl to see Dreaden (former front man of Jil Station , who I've spoken highly of in the past), and wound up sticking around for Slow Motion Crash and another band I can't remember the name of. The verdict? This being Dreaden's first solo gig, I [...]
Ah Valentine's Day . That syrupy sweet, send flowers to your special someone, son of a gun of a shopping day holiday. If the lords of commerce didn't make off with all of your available credit over the Christmas/Chanukkah season then here comes good ol' February 14th to finish you off. But, but , you don't have to go spending money at the chocolatier, or Hallmark, to get the most out of this holiday. The way I see it, whether you've got a sweetheart or not, chances are you'll be listening to music today. [...]
The two brothers who ran the nightclub where more than 100 died following the Great White indoor fireworks display have been sentenced . Michael Derderian has been given four years; Jeffrey, his brother and co-owner of the Rhode Island Station club, has been sentenced to a ten year suspended stretch. The Derderians had installed flammable foam in the body of the club, as soundproofing. The fireworks set the foam alight. The pair cut a deal to avoid a trial, and ensure their sentences were lighter - a deal which has angered some of those who [...]
