This was a spectacular concert that might go down in history for me as the top 10 shows I’ve ever seen. The most exciting part about it was the fact that I didn’t know who […]
For those of you reading this as you know, the stadium tour is now nothing but a memory. However, I was able to catch two of the last shows at the end of August. […]
This is the second time through the Twin Cities for Alter Bridge on this tour. It appears they’re winding things down and the tour is coming near an end. This time they brought along […]
This is another great triple metal bill for all of you fans that love mosh pits, crowd surfing and loud aggressive rock and roll. The Skyway theatre in Minneapolis seems to be hosting more […]
Full disclosure, I’m a big fan of Alice Cooper and have seen him live consistently since 1979. In fact, my very first concert was in Saint Paul at the infamous tear gas show. I can confidently […]
Beauty School Dropout is an up-and-coming band that is a great opener for this show. High energy rock with well written songs. I can see how they can really make an impact moving forward if […]
This was what I thought it would be, a skull crushing metal show! I always enjoy bills like this because there’s at least one or more bands that I’m not familiar with. It’s exciting […]
This was a concert that I was very much looking forward to. Beyond the music it’s fun to attend these types of shows where it’s almost like a time capsule back in time to […]
This is a very interesting bill. All three bands are complementary to one another. It’s very much Hard Rock then some may call it heavy metal. But not heavy metal in the classic sense […]
I mentioned this in a previous review that if you get a chance to visit Saint Charles which is just outside of Chicago, you must stop at the Arcada Theater. It’s so much more than a […]
I can’t really talk about the bands until I talk about the Arcada Theater. It’s truly one of the most unique places I’ve ever been It’s a wonderful place to see a live show. Because […]
Unfortunately, I was not able to see Crobot’s set. I have seen them before and they’re absolutely fantastic live. They are a Hard Rock band from Pennsylvania and are currently touring supporting their latest release titled, […]
As soon as I heard this tour announced, I thought this was another great double bill. Promoters and managers are getting more and more creative. These two bands complement each other very well. They’ve been […]
Opening the show was a Minneapolis favorite Johnny O’Neil. For those of you who are not familiar with Johnny, he was one of the founding members of Dare Force. Album #2 is completed but there is […]
The band Red opened the show. I must admit I’d never heard of them before this, and it turns out they have I believe seven albums out and have been around for over a decade. I […]
This is one of those concerts that I’ve been anticipating for a while because it’s very much a throwback to concerts from when I was a kid. What I’m trying to say by that is […]
This must be one of the most successful tours so far this year and the audience loved every minute of it. The opening band Atreyu is fantastic. I’ve always liked their music, it’s straightforward rock but with […]
It’s been 35 years since I’ve seen W.A.S.P. in concert. Wow, that is weird to say out loud. But it has literally been that long. The last time I saw them is when they opened for Kiss on […]
This was my first time at the epic center in Green Bay. I have to say I was really impressed. Not only with the sight lines but just the building itself. What a great place […]
Rumor has it that the myth may be closing by the end of this year to make way for more apartments or condominiums or some other thing that we seem to have more than enough […]
I love metal shows even though I’m not a huge metal fan. I thought this current tour with these four bands was a great representation of different kinds of metal genres. I’m not going to […]
It sounded like a good idea and then COVID hit. Like many other touring packages, it’s been side-tracked for over two years. The pent-up excitement and anticipation add it to the craziness of this […]
Anthrax came to town on their 40th anniversary tour and brought two incredible bands to support them. First one up was Hatebreed. The fans showed up early and the place was packed before they even went […]
I’ve reviewed Buckcherry many times before, for The Rockpit. I will continue to do so but this is more of a pictorial review than anything else. If you don’t know who Buckcherry is by this point, what’s wrong […]
This is a show I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. First because I am a huge fan of Garbage. I’ve seen that band more times than I can count, and I love their […]
