Bret Michaels was recently on the Home Shopping Network (HSN) selling his new cologne, Roses and Thorns. He threw in a solo CD for good measure. I swear, the entire segment just makes me laugh and cringe and laugh a little more. And seriously, what a steal with three FlexPays at just $16.63! I can only imagine this originally aired at like 3 a.m. or something.
Wednesday, February 5, 2014 at 12:01AM I was out on YouTube, looking for some new Glam gems, but I ended up mesmerized by a Duracell commercial. It's the ad featuring Seattle Seahawks player Derrick Coleman. Coleman happens to be deaf and this ad amazingly tells his story of making it in the NFL. This post has nothing to do with Glam, but I had a bit of a down day yesterday and this ad really cheered me up.
Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 12:02AM A ton of 80s icons gathered together to create an epic Radio Shack ad that aired during the Super Bowl. I thought most of the ads fell flat, but Radio Shack really hit it out of the park. Bonus: Dee Snider is very prominent. Twisted Sister forever! Maybe our resident ad expert Metalboy! can give us an educated critique of this one.
Monday, February 3, 2014 at 12:01AM I guess another Guns n' Roses residency is coming to Las Vegas. I texted the number on the graphic below and did confirm that a pre-sale at The Joint (inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino) is coming soon. I must admit, this one sort of surprises me. What do you think? Is Axl ready for another go around?
Sunday, February 2, 2014 at 12:01AM Winger played a club in Milwaukee Friday night. Even after all these years, I'm still blown away by "Headed For A Heartbreak." The most amazing part of it all is that the band still sounds so tight. I wish some of our other favorite bands would take note: Winger know how to bring it live. Watch.
Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 12:01AM I know a few of you make it to Sweden Rock each year. The festival organizers just announced that Ted Nugent will play the fest. Keep an eye on the Sweden Rock website, because they add new acts pretty regularly.
Details here:
Ted Nugent had his first hit, "Journey to the center of the mind", as a member of the Amboy Dukes in 1968. 1975 marked his official debut as a solo artist. Today, Ted Nugent is a long established icon in American hard rock history. He's one of the major guitar heroes. Songs like "Stranglehold", "Motor city madhouse", "Dog eat dog" and "Cat scratch fever" are classics and perennial faves with fans of fat and groove-based rock. To date, Ted Nugent has sold around 30 million albums and made way over 6 000 concerts. In 2014 he returns to SRF, teamed up with his classic vocalist/rhythm guitarist Derek St. Holmes, bassist Greg Smith (ex-Alice Cooper, Rainbow) and drummer Mick Brown (ex-Dokken) - which will also be his one and only European performance this year.
Sweden Rock Festival is set for June 4-7 2014. Confirmed bands: Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Wasp, Alter Bridge, Megadeth Transatlantic, Rob Zombie, Q5, The Rainmakers, Magnum, Queensrÿche and more.
