KIX to Open for Whitesnake

The title says it all: Kix will provide direct support for Whitesnake this summer at three Oklahoma dates.

Here are the shows:

8/4 First Council Casino with Whitesnake, Newkirk, OK

8/5 Lucky Star Casino with Whitesnake, Concho, OK

8/6 Choctaw Casino with Whitesnake, Durant, OK

This is exciting because it means KIX are continuing to book shows out of the Maryland area. Of course, I think KIX should headline. They were way better than Whitesnake at M3 this year and I suspect that to be the case in Oklahoma. There's just no competing with the energy that KIX bring to the stage and Whitesnake is using too much filler these days (yes, that means solos).

I wish I could go!

Agree with all you've said here, One, but I still think Schenker is in. Though he may not have been as influential, I still think MSG is more Glam than not, especially the Mach McAuley. Granted, it's not the L.A. Brand, however.

Then there's Robbin Crosby is also in. He wrote a lot of Ratt's stuff. Maybe he wasn't as proficient as DiMartini, but he had the IDEAS.

And what about Mick Marrs? He may not blaze like our other boyz but he sure as hell has his own sound and it's pure L.A.!
