What Are You Listening To

I remember showing up to either the Woodstock or Radio City in Anaheim on a Friday night to see Steeler with Yngwie again. Saw a band unloading all kinds of gear with yellow and black stripes. Asked Oz Fox what their band was and he said "Stryper". I told him they were not on the flyer, and he said Steelers guitar player quit the band and they got the call. A couple years later we went to Riverside to see Alcatrazz play. They went on late and had a new guitar player called Steve Vai. Their sound guy told me they fired Yngwie a few days before the show. Back then I thought he was the greatest ever, today kind of tedious...

Just wanted to repost this from sndsamplr for those of us who are mostly deaf and don’t want to have to listen to it ten times to get it all deciphered.

That sucks. Kinda. Stryper  kicked ass back in the day so you did get that. Wish I would have been able to see Steeler. I did however see the Ted Nugent Penatrator tour with Alcatrazz opening. Graham Bonnet on vocals and a young “Ingvay” slaughtering a pink Stratocaster. He was something for sure. Arrogant azzhole as has been well documented, but could melt the strings off of a fretboard.

Mr Nugent was nothing less than a God that evening, as he is any evening. Probably why I have around 20 ticket stubs from his shows. \m/

A buddy and mine knew who Steve Via was before he joined up with Alcatraz, So when Alcatraz was booked into this new bar in Phx. We went to see them.  Every guitar player in town was in attendance, except for one Steve Via, He had just left the band to join up with DLR.  Yet nobody knew that.

That night at this new bar my buddy while sitting in the restaurant portion of the club decided to light up a little something he had rolled at home. That got passed around the table and nobody seemed to mind.  So about 20 minutes later he pulls out round two. About 10 seconds later we were standing outside :lol:  and the band was just starting and we had just walked past these two girls we knew ( Remember the two girls in the Cinderella video's ?  They were like our version). So we look at each other and say, screw them they can't kick us out. So we switch jackets, So I am wearing his red leather jacket and he is wearing my black one, We already had a stamp to get back in.  So back in we go. About the time we get a beer in our hand the bouncer that thru us out walks up and say's I don't think so. :lol:     We try the old , it was out twin brothers who you must of thrown out routine and it's not working as we pass the owner and he ask's where we are going. That was the end of our exit, and it was back to the show and the two girls. 

Don't remember much of the concert but I will never the night. That bouncer gave us Crap every time he saw us, we were entertaining to say the least.

I believe Rare Earth was the  first  white act signed to Motown.  My brother and I picked up a 7" of "Hey, Big Brother" back when we were kids.  We wore it out . . .

 
When I went to high school in San Diego our school band had a bagpipe section. Me and a few buddy's knew a few of them and they were rockers.  So our plan for the annual senior talent show was to play this song and have the 3 bag pipe guys we knew come out from the back of the gym for this .

They cancelled the talent show the year we had learned the song and found all the pieces to the puzzle.  It would of been epic



 
A lot of Sublime with Rome and also Dirty Heads right now.
