Yeah, I call it Melboring -- but this young festival has helped to change that---also playing:

KIX

Lita Ford

Slaughter

Autograph (no...Plunkett isn't with them :-(

BulletBoys

Kip Winger

Nova Rexx

Ahhh... if you are correct on Kingdom Come that would explain the lack of hype. I had read a blurb but it sounds like you have done more research, and I do recall that thing regarding Scorpions. Agreed the first two albums are essential and by far my favorite releases from the band.

If they add Electric Boys, it's 100% certain I will go. I am trying to go anyway for the D-A-D, Saigon Kick, Armored Saint and Kingdom Come.

Wish they would get Zodiac Mindwarp on there, too.

oh my....I think I saw AC/DC mentioned....and Rainbow with JLT....

"I think it's time to be sick now"

-Den Dennis, BAD NEWS

Michael Schenker Group - Graham Bonnet

"Win Hands Down" -- Armored Saint

I will also have to go with Cherry Pie. While a great song it completely overshadows Jani's original vision for the album. The more I listen to the album the more I realize just how much of a masterpiece it is. And sadly they will forever be known for Cherry Pie and nothing else. Jani's brilliance completely overlooked.

Well said, but not for me -- 'Dog Eat Dog' album is their masterpiece and I am very much aware of it!

RIP, Jani...the band is really not good without you.

"Shakin The Blues" -- Screaming Cheetah Wheelies

"uninspired"...funny, that is exactly what i thought upon hearing the re-recorded "Round and Round" he did with Lynch.

I dunno, I think maybe they should be aiming more for shorter, hard-hitting tunes like "Wicker Man", a song that brought many of us back on board.

Am a little skeptical of the song lengths here, and it seems to be a pattern....some occasional epics are fine, but every song?

hmmm....

Saxon's last two have been great, and they KILLED on the MOR cruise two years ago. I will buy this, for sure. The last song alone is sure to be worth the admission!!

Good ole Saxon.

I get to see these guys again on Saturday (80's in the Park, Melbourne FL, USA)

1) Cocked and Loaded

2) LA Guns

3) Waking the Dead

4) Tales From the Strip

5) Hollywood Vampires

6) Hollywood Forever

7) Man in the Moon

8) the rest....

Last year they played a great cover of Fairies Wear Boots!

Maybe I will yell at Phil to play "Star" from his Torme record 'Back to Babylon'...

I can't believe I have to start this topic....well actually, yes I can since I wasn't impressed with the lineup until this week.

I'll get right to it -- EAST COAST has added D-A-D!!!

Yes, that underrated thinking man's rock band from Denmark.

If that ain't enough, these guys are also on board:

1. ARMORED SAINT (have you HEARD "Win Hands Down"???)
2. KINGDOM COME (original lineup, from what I heard)
3. SAIGON KICK (original lineup)
4. Killer Dwarfs
5. Helix
6. Dangerous Toys
7. Doro
8. Helloween
9. Metal Church
10. Y&T
11. John Corabi
12. Vinnie Moore
13. Steve Vai
14. more.....

Suddenly thinking about shelling out the money for this one. I doubt this American will get another shot at seeing D-A-D, much like seeing SAXON that last time around...

Anyone else thinking about it / got tix?

Wow, nobody trashed me for that? Impressive.

--- I think I was thinking of "Trixter". Thought for sure I saw them on this lineup for 2014? Don't see them on there now though.

I won't "troll" this thread any longer - I do wish i could go, despite my rants.

Karpet, hope you get to go!

Gonna be some fine music on that boat....wish I could hear Winger belt out "Time to Surrender".

 

...really glad that i went on the LAST one!

 

Looks like they went in the direction of Nelson rather than Saxon. Pity.

I think you will be in the minority of those that think the 2014 lineup is a pity. Just sayin'.

 

Yes, on here perhaps I am in the minority. And of course I would like to do this cruise pretty much every year.

...But Tyketto? They had the "motorcycle video", right? Some motorcycle video with 'love' in the title?

THAT compares to Helix, Rhino Bucket, Bang Tango, Black n Blue, Alcatrazz, and L.A. Guns?

No, methinks not.

...really glad that i went on the LAST one!

Looks like they went in the direction of Nelson rather than Saxon. Pity.

Winery Dogs are slotted to be on Monsters of Rock cruise 2014...Kotzen will also do some solo stuff (maybe acoustic?)...

I'm not impressed with the (admittedly, 'first draft') early lineup M.O.R. (Monsters of Rock Cruise) released, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing Winger with all the original guys

...hmmm, that means REB BEACH, right? And doesn't Mr. BEACH also play in a little band called WHITESNAKE?

hmmm.....

What everyone else has said ... and then some. The original film was pretty good ... why fix what ain't broke? Of course, if Hollywood would like to re-do any of the sequels and make THEM into decent films ...

 

Yep, what a waste of time and effort. There are loads of really good comics (and novels) out there that haven't been made into films, so why bother 'rebooting' one that is already a decent film? Or what about remaking some of the ones that have been completely f***ed up, like 'A History of Violence', 'Spawn' or 'Ghost Rider'?

 

 

Constantine ... with Sean Bean in the title role. I think even Hugh Grant would make a better John Constantine than Keanu Reeves

uh...what?

Thought that movie ruled!

Admit though, Bean would be great. Perhaps continue, using him, since Reeves has opted out?

I would like to see SGT. ROCK come to life on the screen. Gi Joe is just terrible...maybe let Tarantino direct a SGT. ROCK movie?

They were darker comics, anyway. Good stuff.

Way cool, thanks for sharing the pics. There seem to be plenty of "Crystal Lake" campsites around the country but you went to the original one that matters. Nice work!

Glad you enjoyed your nostalgic, creepy visit..!

Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!

What's next, Soft Cell?

All of you---go listen to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath---NOW!!

Well, I can't forget this cruise just yet. And although it is unlikely I can attend the 2014 version, I must say I've been thinking about the lineup I would like to see (on the off chance I could somehow make it onboard again).

Here's what I think would be a killer lineup, with some returning members and some notable additions:

• Whitesnake
  
• Electric Boys
  
• D.A.D
  
• Bang Tango
  
• L.A. Guns (full strength this time!!)
  
• Helix
  
• Ugly Kid Joe
  
• Night Ranger
  
• Europe
  
• Kix
  
• Black n Blue
  
• Rhino Bucket
  
• American Dog
  
• Clutch
  
• Nightshade (Q5 members)
  
• Saigon Kick (they reunited!)
  
• White Lion (if reunited, with Bratta)
  
• Accept
  
• Faster Pussycat
  
• Zodiac Mindwarp and Love Reaction
  

Is that 20? Guess I will stop at 20. Of course there are other good bands who'd make it fun, but if this lineup came to be....I would have to sell the house or something and go!

Ok maybe a couple more: Krokus, HSAS (you heard yet?), Armored Saint, Anthrax, Kings-X, Motorhead

RIP Andy - thank you in particular for the fine work in recent years with L.A. Guns!!!!

I only have the debut but I like it. "Cold Hard Bitch" is excellent. Was planning to get around to their other stuff ..guess there is plenty of time now!

Good to hear this news! I liked them but lost track of them - time to check in again I think...

Britney Fox ...and Def Leppard.

Britney had the middle slot for Def Leppard Hysteria tour. They stood still and played mediocre mid-tempo bullshit for an hour. "Long Way to Love" was just ok.

Kix was the other band---jumping all over and enthusiastically blasting their tunes in a ridiculously short 25-minute set.

KIX blew away both Britney Farts and Deaf Lepresy. I remember being angry that the only tune DL played from 'High n Dry' was a keyboard-heavy "Bringin On The Heartbreak" . Had to suffer through lots of slow and midtempo tunes...I guess the boys just wanted to get laid that tour. Most of the crowd loved it, of course. It was good to see Rick succeeding after his arm accident. But, if he could play those songs then he could also have played their better, harder songs? They just made a conscious, commercial decision. I never went to see them again after that.

Wish KIX had played for two hours instead of the others - and I told Jimmy "Chocolate" Chalfant that very thing recently on M.O.R. tour. He laughed

...and so the story ends.

Sweet! A fitting home for that track, methinks. Thanks for digging up the info! I'll have to order that edition of the cd now:

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! January 3, 2013

By Chris Tarver

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

Great album by the Tubes but so much better now that they have released the extra track "Gonna get it next time" from the Modern Problems soundtrack! Love it!!!

I heard a rumor one time that it appeared on ONE little known 'best of' Tubes disc. I think it was 'Gold' in the title or something? it's long outta print of course.

But maybe that is a starting point! If i remember correctly, it is not even on the Modern Problems sntrk!? But it is the most memorable tune in the dang movie.
