That should be a lot of fun. Can I crash on your couch if I decide to go? ;)

Sure...couch, floor, yard, cow pasture, or wherever you fall for the night! :drink:

That's awesome... and so cheap!!!

 

:lol: @ the band name Hair Guitar.

Good one, eh? :tumbsup: Did you check out their website?

I actually did. Although it's kind of laughable I must admit I'd be pretty interested if they decided to record some originals. :)

Even though I've seen most of those bands that still would be a lot of fun. :tumbsup:

Is that the Phil LA Guns or the crappy Tracii version?

My understanding is it's the Phil version, which is just fine in my book. Of the bands that will be there, the only ones I've seen before are Firehouse and Slaughter, and I could go for seeing Firehouse every summer.

I could see Firehouse about everyday because they're that good live.

 

I've seen Firehouse, LA Guns, Jackyl, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Skid Row but have never seen Bang Tango.

 

I saw Jackyl in a club outside of St Louis years ago when they were on that Guiness Book of World Records tour where they did 100 shows in 50 days and they f#@king ruled. Tesla's Brian Wheat's band Soulmotor opened for them and they were solid too. But Jackyl had had some flight delay coming from North Carolina and walked straight on stage from the airport with no soundcheck and just rocked the house.

That's awesome to hear, Jackyl is the one band I'm really looking forward to seeing along with Firehouse. I had a chance to see Jackyl up in Fargo a couple years back but unfortunately my grandma passed away then so I never made it.

 

I think Bang Tango and Skid Row will probably put on a good show. I don't have very high expectations for Faster Pussycat but the rest of the bands should be alright.

I'm sorry Rick that you have to go to sewer city to see that show.

Nope, shows in Sioux Falls, SD, not Sioux City, Iowa (Sewer City). It's only a 15 minute drive for me to get to the show. :)

I'm not sure that it will be the Phil version. La Guns, Faster Pussycat, and Bang Tango are doing a small summer tour together. They are playing together around me this summer too...just a week before this festival. I'm fairly sure this is the Tracii version of LA Guns and the Taime version of Faster Pussycat. I'll be skipping that one for sure. I am most likely the only one who would rather see the Brent version of faster Pussycat...and of course, I'd much rather see the Phil version on LA Guns.

 

I hope I am wrong about this...but the links to those two bands which are on the website from the club they are playing are those of Tracii and Taime.

Yup, you're right. It is the Tracii version and not the Phil Guns that is going to be there. The Rockfest website has a link to the wrong L.A. Guns homepage so I assumed it was the Phil version. :(

How about that? I was wondering if that was gonna go through... :woot:

 

Damon said he thought we were in, but I was waiting until I got some definite news. I guess being listed on the website is pretty definite...

 

So Rick, I guess we'll have a few new pics for the "Who have you met in person from HH" thread... :drink:

Hope to see you there too m'man! :drink:

:rofl2: Yeah, I'm sure a few brews will be tipped, but getting to and from the show will not be a problem at all Chad. :tumbsup:

 

And starting with Mother's Day you should have plenty of time to get your wife to give you the green light. Plus, our wives could get together and try to figure out why us guys still like "that kind of music".
