Retrospect Rockfest 2011 - I NEED YOUR OPINIONS


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. As you know , Retrospect has been involved in the Rocklahoma , M3 and Rock n America festivals the past 3 years and I am HIGHLY considering putting something amazing on here in Vegas next year. Bigger than Melodic RockFest but not as big as Rocklahoma.

 

We're talking about a 3-day 80s Rockfest that will have quite an impressive line-up.

We are focusing more on the smaller bands from the 80s that people haven't seen in forever or don't get to see very much , as well as some decent headliners (Airbourne , Europe , Krokus , Accept and such).

 

Here's just a few of the smaller bands I'm suggesting...

 

Babylon AD

Icon

Baton Rouge

Silent Rage

Helix

Big Cock

Unruly Child

Hardline

Madam X

Fifth Angel

King Kobra

Bangalore Choir

Beggars and Thieves

Steel Panther

D'Molls

Jeff Scott Soto (in any form)

Lizzy Borden

Lillian Axe

Leatherwolf

Malice

Shark Island

Spread Eagle

Tora Tora

Tyketto

Wildside

Cry Wolf etc.. etc..etc..

 

We are also considering bringing over a Swedish contingent which would be the first time for bands like Wig Wam , Crashdiet , Crazy Lixx , H.E.A.T. and the like to play on American soil.

 

 

Before I blow my wad on such an ambitious festival (which I believe is needed on the west coast and hopefully not the disaster Ultrasound was) , what I want to know is this...

 

HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD HIGHLY CONSIDER ATTENDING THIS FESTIVAL??

 

As the biggest supporters of "OUR" music your opinion is very valuable to me. The H.H. crew are the best fans in the business and I'd like you to share your thoughts...

 

Thanks in advance for any input...

If you brought Wig Wam over I can pretty much guarantee my wife will force me to buy tickets and take her. Bangalore Choir is also a favorite of hers. Throw in Pink Cream 69 and she'd be unable to avoid the show.

 

As for me, I like most of what you've listed, good stuff. \m/

Sam, I will go. Especially if Babylon A.D., JSS/Eyes, and Wildside are there. *MOST* especially if Baton Rouge is there. ;)

 

These are the bands I couldn't see because they played clubs and I was too young to get in. I would give A LOT to see these bands live. Please let me know how I can help...I will email you...you are the only one thinking of doing this kind of fest, as far as I can tell. Thank you. =)

Well... I don't usually travel around to festivals like this. But I might be there.

 

 

After seeing ICON at ROK a couple years ago... they are a must.

 

Heaven's Edge would be cool to see again.

 

Julliet was also very good a t ROK a couple years ago.

 

Black 'N Blue isn't too far away either.

    • Eclipse played that same game when Apocalypse Blues came out.  They dropped that song as just a single and made no mention of an album at that point as far as I remember.  All they were doing was selling the 7 inch vinyl.  We know now though that they clearly knew a full album was coming as Erik said they basically were working on both albums at the same time and deciding which tracks would go on each album.  Granted, maybe they didn't know the full timing of album #2 at that point but they certainly knew one was coming. Maybe the same here.  Maybe will trickle out a few songs and then announce an album later this year or early next year when it's closer to release.
    • So, Danny posted how the song is doing on Spotify and someone asked if this means a new album soon. Danny just made vague replies and said "well there will be more stuff coming soon"
    • Funnily enough, I read that this afternoon when I went to add the album to my collection on the main page. I got the European version which has two bonus tracks ... if you don't have them, you really aint missing anything
    • Faith in the Heartland-Journey
    • Created and Posted this video recently in order to promote Ryder SRIII a little more.  I love this song, one of my personal favs from the record.   Be careful viewing at work though (NSFW), just for a couple of images in the video.   
    • Named my HH self after the song Auslander on the album Stain. Love that track. Really like the whole album. It's like Living Colour's "Slave to the Grind" or "Dog Eat Dog".
    • From Frontiers: TRACKLIST: 1 Awesome God 2 Stand Up 3 Warrior 4 There You Are 5 Speak His Name 6 Why God Brought Me Here 7 Praying 8 It's Up to You 9 Holy Moment 10 Leaning on the Cross 11 Jesus Christ --- When a musical family gets together to record, magic can happen and this is what the VAN ZANT’s are here for! Brothers Johnny and Donnie Van Zant (respectively current lead vocalist of Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd and founding member of .38 Special) were able to find room in their busy schedules for the first time in 1998, recording their collaboration album “Brother to Brother”: a tribute to their late brother and Lynyrd Skynyrd original singer and founding member Ronnie. Such release was highly acclaimed between the press and fans worldwide and brought the duo to record a follow up album, simply entitled “II” in 2001. Their collaboration during the years did not stop as they tapped their feet in a more Country-oriented style with the release of “Get Right With the Man” (certified Gold in the USA in 2005) and later on with “My Kind of Country” in 2007. Now the brothers once again reinvent themselves, offering a Christian-themed album encompassing their Rock and Blues musical roots (and with a touch of Country for good measure). The result “Always Look Up” is made up of songs that will touch the listener’s heart and soul, with an emotional depth that is truly second to none in today’s musical landscape. Experience the soul touching that only the music from the Van Zant family, can provide. You will see why they are icons of the American South, and musical heroes to millions around the globe!
