The vacation is set for June 13th to 15th, so not long from now and tickets go on sale Monday. I hope you have deep pockets, because this event is two grand a person on double occupancy. Don't worry, that includes hotel WiFi!
Bon Jovi Wednesday, April 9, 2025 at 11:08AM Not sure why we need this right now, but SIXX:AM is offering up a deluxe edition of their Prayers for the Damned and Prayers for the Blessed albums. The cool thing is that the package includes three new versions of previously released tracks.
I would think this will be the only "new" SIXX: AM music we will ever get at this point, so snap it up if interested. The set officially comes out in June.
SIXX: AM Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 12:53PM On this date 50 years ago, Aerosmith released their brilliant Toys In The Attic album. I can't believe the album is 50 but I also can't imagine classic rock radio without "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way" in regular rotation since my high school days.
Also, don't sleep on "Round and Round." One of my very favorite Aerosmith tracks!

The map tells me that is right on the water (locks, get it?) by the Washington state line. I think it is rural, but I've never been there so don't quote me on that. Looks like a lot of fun! Tickets on sale - follow the link in the post!
Crazy Lixx, Dirty Honey Sunday, April 6, 2025 at 02:54PM RATT's Stephen Pearcy and Warren DiMartini played their first reunion show together last night at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn. Presumably, the show was a warm-up for the M3 Festival early next month.
Pearcy and DiMartini hadn't even spoken to each other in years, so the news that they were headlining M3 together this year was a bit of a shock. I'm glad they are back together and I'm not expecting anything else reunion-wise with the other RATT members. In fact, Blas Elias and Matt Thor are part of Pearcy's solo band and they are playing these gigs, too.
A couple show clips are below. Just listen to Warren shred that guitar! And I have to chuckle: Pearcy hasn't changed his stage uniform in 40 years. Dude likes his leather and he's sticking with it. I love it.
RATT Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 04:15PM Are your summer concert plans shaping up yet? Mine are. In addition to seeing Metallica next month, I am also now going to an Ohio stop on Shinedown's current run in early May. Also cool is that Beartooth is the support for Shinedown.
I wasn't really planning on attending this tour, but Eric is obsessed with the band and he loves Beartooth too. He wouldn't even know of Beartooth without me, but I digress.
Anyway, we got pretty good seats for Shinedown and the band just released a new video yesterday for their song "Dance, Kid, Dance." The clip is below.
I want to go to the Doobie Brothers in early September but I am holding on buying those tickets. I figure I can get a deal on those since it is several months away still. There's also a few other shows I am keeping my eye on like Live/Collective Soul/Our Lady Peace, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Alison Krauss and Union Station (!) and so many more. I just wish shows weren't so incredibly expensive - it just isn't possible to go to them all anymore. Fees for the Shinedown show added almost another hundred bucks to the tickets and we won't even talk about Metallica.
Let me know who you are planning to see live in the comments.
