Rock You Like A Hurricane & Queen of the Reich: Scorpions/Queensryche Concert Review
- Date of Concert: September 22, 2015
- Location of Concert; LC Pavilion in Columbus, OH
Hi everyone!!Well, I saw two of my favorite bands for the first time in many years last night.They were the Scorpions and Queensryche!!I saw them with my best friend Jamie.Queensryche opened the show with a blistering 45 minute set.This was my 2nd time seeing Queensryche, but the first time I saw them with their new singer of 3 years Todd LaTorre.I will forever be a fan of their original singer Geoff Tate, who is doing his own music now, but Todd sounds a lot like Geoff. It’s uncanny.The band were amazing, as always.Their new album, Condition Human, is out October 2. They played one song from it at the show, Arrow Of Time.Very good song.Now to the headliner: the Scorpions!!I had not seen them since 1999, and I swear they are as good or better now as they were then.Lead Singer Klaus Meine is still amazing and has lost nothing in his voice.Guitarists Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs are just stellar, Bassist Pawel Maciwoda is solid, and Drummer James Kottack is a beast on drums.They played so many songs from their lengthy catalog, including a medley of some of their 70s songs, plus 4 songs from their great new album Return To Forever, and of course their biggest hits.They even had an acoustic set, in which they played several of their ballads.Very cool stuff, and just such a phenomenal show.They were sooo loud and sooo rocking.The Scorpions have been around since 1965, but really made their name in the 80s.Either way, though, they still rock harder than most bands ever could or will.Go see the Scorpions!!Scorpions Band Members:

The Best: Van Halen Concert Review
- Date of Concert: August 31, 2015
- Location of Concert: Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, OH
- Opener: Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
Hi everyone!Well, as of this writing, I’ve been home for about an hour after seeing the mighty Van Halen in Cincinnati!If you saw my post earlier, you will know this is the 2nd time I’ve seen Van Halen.And once again, they did not disappoint.First, let me get to the opener: the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band.They were very good, very bluesy, but rocking.Their bassist, Tony Franklin, was in 2 rock bands that I really like, The Firm (with Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page, and Chris Slade, whose drumming for AC/DC again now), and Blue Murder (with John Sykes and Carmine Appice).Kenny Wayne Shepherd is definitely a talented guitarist.They played for about 50 minutes.Now, to the reason why I went to this show: Van Halen, one of the greatest rock bands in history.Most people seem to love to hate David Lee Roth these days.It seems that nearly everyone I talk to wants Sammy Hagar back in the band.As cool as that would be, I don’t see it happening anytime soon, if ever.And I’m okay with that because you know why: I love David Lee Roth in Van Halen.He has his own style of singing, and regardless of what anyone says, he still has it.And to be honest, I have always preferred Dave in Van Halen because when he’s in the band, their songs are much more rocking and in your face, which I love.And they’re just more fun with Dave.Anyway, Dave is one of my favorite singers/frontmen ever.Guitarist Eddie Van Halen’s son Wolfgang has been the band’s bassist since 2007, and as much as I would love to see their original bassist Michael Anthony there, Wolfgang is a solid player and very good.Drummer Alex Van Halen, Eddie’s brother, is still a solid, amazing drummer.And now to the man, themyth, the legend, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Eddie Van Halen!!This man is a sight to see and hear play.He truly is like a mad scientist. And I mean that as a compliment.His riffs and solos are so innovative, loud, heavy, in your face, and perfect.Every accolade he gets as a player he deserves and more.I can go on forever talking about Van Halen, but I’ll end this by saying that Van Halen is one of my favorite bands of all time. Especially with Diamond David Lee Roth on the mic.And no one is going to change my opinion on that.I hope you have enjoyed this review.There will be more to come soon.I wish the pictures were clearer, but oh well.I still had a blast, and even though the pics are not perfect, I really did have a great view.Van Halen Band Members:

What a Night: Def Leppard/Styx/Tesla Concert Review
- Date of Concert: August 17, 2015
- Location of Concert: Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, OH
I went to another fantastic concert Monday night in Cincinnati.I saw Def Leppard for the 4th time, and openers Styx and Tesla, for the 1st time.All 3 bands were fantastic!!I’ll post pics of all 3 bands at the end, but first, some of my thoughts on the show.Tesla started the show with a rocking set of songs. They only had about 45 minutes to play, but they truly let the music do the talking, if you will.One of their guitarists, Frank Hannon, even has the same last name as me, which I think is cool. I doubt he’s a relative, but who knows.If you have never seen Tesla in concert, or by some chance have never heard them, I recommend checking them out. They rock!!Styx played next.Like Tesla, I had never seen Styx in concert, but have been a fan for many years.They did not disappoint.My only complaint about Styx is that I wish singer/keyboardist Dennis DeYoung was still with them.But having said that, singers/guitarists Tommy Shaw and James “JY” Young are still in the band and they still rock.The highlight of their show, for me, was when their original bassist Chuck Panozzo came out and played with them for a few songs.He has had HIV for many years, and does not play full time with them anymore.But when he does, it’s even extra special.They played many of their hits, but my favorite was the song “Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man). I’ve always related to the lyrics.Anyway, they played and sang great.And again, if you have never seen Styx live or by some chance you’ve never heard their music, check them out. If you have, check them out again.Now if that was not enough of a rock show, the best were left until the end: Def Leppard!!!!Like I said earlier in this post, this was my 4th time seeing Def Leppard, and I hope it’s not my last.I think they’ve always been great on album, but they’re sooo much better live.Live, they are more raw, and in your face, which I like a lot.They have so many hits, but even in about 90 minutes, they play a lot of them, but also play more album tracks, too.I can’t say enough good about them.Lead singer Joe Elliott is still an amazing singer/frontman, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are fantastic, bassist Rick Savage is a solid player, and drummer Rick Allen is a sight to behold, as a player.To only have one arm and still be able to play drums, is truly amazing to me.And the fact they have always been loyal to him is even more amazing.Anyway, such a great concert.Three great bands, so many hits amongst all of them, and just a great night of fun.Def Leppard Band Members:
- Joe Elliott (Lead Vocals)
- Rick "Sav" Savage (Bass/Backing Vocals)
- Rick Allen (Drums)

Here I Go Again: Whitesnake Concert Review
- Date of Concert: July 7, 2015
- Location of Concert: The Rose Music Center At The Heights in Huber Heights, OH
- Opener: The Answer
Well, I went to another concert again last night.I, along with my best friend Jamie McClintic went to see the rock band Whitesnake in Huber Heights, Ohio.This was the 2nd time I saw Whitesnake singer David Coverdale and his great band in concert.And other than a brief sound problem in the middle of the opening song, it was another fun show.And a fun way to spend an evening.Whitesnake are on tour to support their great new CD/DVD called The Purple Album, which are re-records of songs from David Coverdale’s era of the legendary rock band Deep Purple, from the 70s.They played 5 of these great songs last night (I’ll list the setlist at the end of this review.)Plus, they played many of their most popular songs, as well as some guitar and drum solos, too.David Coverdale, to be in his early to mid 60s, still has a strong voice, and he gives it everything he has.He is one of my favorite singers.His band, which over the years has had many members in and out, now includes Reb Beach on guitar.Reb also plays in a band from the 80s called Winger, who I know have been given much flack over the years.But in my opinion, I think Winger are great.Especially their more recent albums.Also in Whitesnake now is Joel Hoekstra on guitar, Michael Devin on bass, Michelle Lupi on keyboards, and one of the greatest drummers of all time, and who has been in and out of Whitesnake over the years, the one and only Tommy Aldridge.Again, fun show, great songs, great band, and in my opinion, one of the best singers ever, David Coverdale, still rocking out and entertaining people better than most people ever could.If anyone has not yet seen Whitesnake in concert, or by some chance has never heard much or any of their music, which I’m sure many have, then I strongly recommend checking them out.As well as anything/everything David Coverdale has done throughout the years.From Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Coverdale/Page, solo albums, everything. David Coverdale is the man!!I hope you enjoyed this review.Whitesnake Set List:
- Burn
- Slide It In
- Love Ain’t No Stranger
- The Gypsy
- Give Me All Your Love Tonight

R40: RUSH Concert Review
- Date of Concert: June 8, 2015
- Location of Concert: Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH
I went to my second RUSH concert Monday night in Columbus.They are currently on their 40th Anniversary Tour, calling it R40.Although, they’ve actually been a band for 47 years, but have been making albums for 40 years.Either way, who’s counting?They are still an amazing band, and for anyone who has yet to see them and wants to, I highly recommend checking them out (Edit: this ended up being their last tour.).As usual, since the late 90s, they did an “Evening With” concert, with no opening act, and two sets.They started off with their newer music, and throughout the rest of the concert, they played songs on earlier albums, going all the way back to their first album.Geddy Lee, their singer/bassist/keyboardist is amazing, as always.His voice is still great, he’s my favorite bass player of all time, and it’s amazing that he can play keyboards with his feet while playing bass.However, there are songs that he plays keyboards with his fingers, too, but still, I love the multitasking of playing different instruments at once.Alex Lifeson, the guitarist, is one of the most underrated guitarists out there.His tone is amazing.Neil Peart, the drummer/lyricist, is one of the greatest drummers in history.Period.Watching and listening to him play is a thing of beauty.In fact, watching all three of these guys (yes there are only three guys in the band) play is a thing of beauty.They also have a great sense of humor.Throughout the show, they showed funny videos of themselves, along with some famous actors.One example of this is at the end of the show, where there’s a video on the screens where the band is walking back to the dressing room talking about the show, and once they get to their dressing room, it’s locked.When they bang on the door, a guy answers and all you see are people and animals from their album covers having a party, and the guy at the door will not let the band in because they are not on the guest list.If you can find it on YouTube, I recommend checking it out.Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about RUSH.One of my favorite bands ever.I have to thank my brother Christopher for turning me on to them several years ago.I’m glad he made me listen to them one day after school.I’ve been a die hard fan ever since.Edit: RIP Neil Peart. He passed away in 2020. Forever missed.RUSH Set Lists:

Hellbent for Denim and Leather: Judas Priest/Saxon Concert Review
- Date of Concert: May 17, 2015
- Location of Concert: Horseshoe Cincinnati in Cincinnati, OH
My best friend Jamie McClintic and I went to another amazing concert.This time, it was the legendary metal band Judas Priest, along with another legendary metal band Saxon.Saxon went on first and were just superb.This was the first time I ever saw them live, and they did not disappoint.They are on their 35th anniversary tour right now.To me, Biff Byford, Saxon’s lead singer, is one of the best singers out there, and the band are just phenomenal.They have so many great songs and albums, and consistently put out great new music every year or two.If anyone has not heard them, I recommend you give them a listen.Now, on to the main event: Judas Priest!!This was my 5th time seeing them, and they always amaze me.Especially their lead singer Rob Halford.I’ve said it many times but I’ll say it again and keep saying it: he is truly one of my favorite singers and a hero to me.I was able to speak to him in 2002 on a radio call in show, and he was very nice.After more than 40 years as a band, Judas Priest are still one of the best metal bands in the world, and like Saxon, are still putting out great new music.In my opinion, their new album Redeemer Of Souls, in which they played 4 songs from tonight in Cincinnati, is an amazing album.If anyone has not seen either Judas Priest or Saxon, please do so.They are both amazing bands.Judas Priest Band Members:

Happy Sunday everyone!!Well, a dream finally came true for me last night.What you might ask?I saw “The Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World” The Rolling Stones in concert!!!!They played at Ohio Stadium in Columbus for more than 2 hours, and I swear it was the best night of my life.They played so many hits and the show just got better and better all night.For anyone who wants to make fun of them and say they’re too old, think again and go see them live.They are better than everyone.Trust me, I have seen nearly everyone I want to see in concert, and no one holds a candle to The Rolling Stones.I actually cried a little when they played their song “Gimme Shelter”.Maybe some of you think that’s weird, but I don’t care.That is how special this night was for me.It truly was a dream come true, and I honestly do not expect this concert to ever be topped.Oh and Kid Rock opened and he was fine (not a big fan), but I was there to see The Stones.Truly the best night of my life.The Rolling Stones Band Members:

I Saw a Hero of Mine in Person: Arnold Sports Festival Arnold Sunday Showcase Review
- Date of Event: March 8, 2015
- Location of Event: Hilton Grand Ballroom in Columbus, OH
Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of my biggest heroes.
I’ve been a fan since was a little kid.
I’ve always loved his movies and basically everything about him.
I never thought I would ever be able to see him in person.
Well, that finally happened.
He and a local Columbus businessman, Jim Lorimer, started the Arnold Sports Festival in the 1970s, to showcase all kinds of sports and athletes, particularly bodybuilding, which Arnold first made his name doing.
It has gotten bigger each year (it’s a 4 day event and it encompasses A LOT), and Arnold is always there to give out awards and to speak.
Well, I decided to finally go to his seminar that he does on the last day of the festival.
He speaks for roughly 45 minutes to an hour, or more depending on what he’s talking about, which is usually about how the event has gone, the main bodybuilding tournament from the previous night (The Arnold Classic), and current or upcoming projects, if any.
He takes questions from the audience sometimes too.
I was not able to ask him a question, but just seeing him was a huge honor for me.
I’m very glad I went and I will go again.
I love you Arnold!!

I Met Mr. Eric Braeden (Victor Newman)
- Date of Event: January 16, 2015
- Location of Event: WOWK-TV 13 News in Charleston, WV
I met a very gracious guy last night at work.
Actor Eric Braeden, star of Young & The Restless, visited WOWK-TV’s studio to be interviewed on 13 News at 7. He was there to promote his meet and greet at the Charleston Town Center, which is today from 2:30-4:30.
Before he was interviewed, I was able to meet and talk with him briefly.
He autographed a Y&R DVD for me and I had my picture taken with him.
For anyone who does not know, Eric Braeden has been on Young & The Restless since 1980, playing the role of businessman Victor Newman.
He has appeared in several other TV shows, including The Rat Patrol, The Six Million Dollar Man, the original Hawaii Five-O, and Gunsmoke.
He has also starred in several movies, including Colussus: The Forbin Project, Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, and Titanic.
Mr. Braeden is also active on Twitter. His hashtag is @EBraeden. He actually tweeted me last week, which was cool.
It was an honor meeting him.Update in 2023: Mr. Braeden I can say has been very gracious to me since this meeting, occasionally giving me life advice. Great man.
