Awesome Live Motley Crue Video

I stumbled on an awesome old Motley Crue live clip last night! The Crue, performing "Live Wire" in Columbus, Ohio back in 1987. I think the clip was made at Buckeye Centre, but I could be wrong about that.

The thing that baffles me is that it looks like daylight and by 1987, Motley was a well-established act. Clearly headline material. Maybe this video was part of a festival - not sure. Obviously I wasn't at the show but if one of you was... please, fill us in on the details!

Happy Memorial Day 2011

Happy Memorial Day, Glam fans. As you remember our troops and officially kick off summer, I figured it was high time we share our fave songs for summer barbecues. Yes, even a non-meat eater like myself enjoys a good grill-out in the backyard (I like veggie skewers and macaroni salad, in case you wondered). Anyway, here are my five songs that scream "glam" and "summer." Be sure to share your five songs with me as well.

Poison - "Ride the Wind"

Steelheart - "Sticky Side Up"

Blue Murder - "Jelly Roll"

Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds - "Shuffle It All"

Buckcherry - "Riding"

Saxon, Whitesnake Added to South Texas Rock Fest

The headline says it all, Glam fans! Saxon and Whitesnake were just added to this year's South Texas Rock Fest. The festival will be held October 7 and 8 in San Antonio, Texas. Also cool is that UFO was recently added to the lineup and there are still more acts TBA.

Ticket information is now on the official festival website. It looks like VIP is available for $250 and two-day advanced tickets go for $60. Single and two-day tickets will also be available at the gate and are priced well under a hundred bucks.

I think this fest looks fun for people in the area. It's also good that it isn't in the summer --sort of spreads out the fun I guess you could say. I'm definitely interested to find out what other bands are added.

Rock on the Range 2011 Review

I spent last weekend at Rock on the Range in Columbus, Ohio. The fest is always held at Crew Stadium and some 75,000 rockers attended. During the fest, I hung out with my friends, including The Captain from Shiprocked and Johnnie Nirvrana. I even made a couple new friends. I also saw bands like Steel Panther, Cavo, Escape the Fate (pictured), My Darkest Days, Avenged Sevenfold and many more. Check out my review over at Noisecreep. Enjoy your Saturday, dear Glam readers!

The Poison Tour Started...

...and the set list didn't change one bit. Poison kicked off their tour the other day in Tupelo, Mississippi. Here's what they played:

Look What the Cat Dragged In
I Want Action
Ride the Wind
We're An American Band
Something to Believe In
Your Mama Don't Dance
Guitar Solo
Fallen Angel
Unskinny Bop
Drum Solo
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Talk Dirty To Me
Nothin' But a Good Time

It will be interesting to see if Motley Crue honestly takes their fan votes into account regarding their set for their American tour with Poison. Something tells me Motley will have the same set they always do, just like Poison. More power to them if people keep paying good money to hear the same things over and over. Personally, I think just one rare song from both Motley and Poison would make the tour that much better.

Who here is surprised by the Poison set list?

Now here's video from that kick-off Poison show. I've gotta admit, the band sounds good:

Judas Priest Performs with James Durbin on 'American Idol' Finale

Rock on! 'American Idol' contestant James Durbin got to fulfill a dream last night when he performed with Judas Priest on the season 10 season finale. Priest + Durbin performed "Living After Midnight" and "Breaking The Law." The performance was also the first with new guitarist Richie Faulkner. I gotta give props to Richie: he did a good job.

As soon as Priest took the 'Idol' stage, the negative comments started flowing on Twitter. Personally, I think it is cool and a great way for Priest to get the word out about their farewell tour. Heck, maybe some kids will get interested and see them live when they still have a chance.

Scotty McCreery won 'American Idol.' The top 11 contestants go on tour this summer as part of 'American Idols Live.'

And if there was ever any question about who is my American Idol... well, just watch:

Caption This Photo - Steel Panther at Rock on the Range

What the hell is going on in this photo? The Glam husband captured this image Friday night at the Rock on the Range pre-party. Steel Panther were performing in a line... and something clearly went haywire. 

I'm not sure this image is funny, but I think it is... at any rate, I'm not smart enough to work out the caption on my own, so I need your help. And if someone has Photoshop (I don't) and is good at making those fake motivational posters... well, I think this image has potential.
