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 […]
This is a double bill made in heaven for someone like me. Not only am I a big fan of Cheap Trick, but Rod Stewart is also someone I have followed since I was a child. When […]
The title may be a bit confusing, so I’d like to clear up any of that. La Musique room is in Saint Michaels Minnesota. It’s one of the rooms in a large movie theater […]
I can’t start this review without saying what an amazing live venue the Waite Park Amphitheatre is. I would go on record saying it is the nicest outdoor amphitheater we have in the state […]
This is somewhat of an odd review in that all three bands did not share the same stage in one evening. A Rising Force had a pre-launch party and a record release party on two different […]
One of the things I enjoy most about going to metal shows like these are the passion of the fans. I would argue with anyone heavy metal bands have some of the greatest, most […]
93X is the local go to Hard Rock station in the Minneapolis Saint Paul area. They are typically behind and promoting almost any rock band that comes to the Twin Cities. This particular show […]
One of the things I love most about going to live shows is seeing new bands. What I really like about going to shows is when I see a new band that blows me away. […]
I would like to start by saying, this is a perfect triple bill. Each band compliments the other. The opening act Sumo Cyco Is a band that I was not familiar with until this evening. Sumo Cyco is […]
I’ve been looking forward to this show ever since it was originally announced. To me it’s a perfect pairing of newer and classic music. On one side you have Alice Cooper who has been doing this […]
Bon Jovi rolled into town last night but only their second stop up there spring 2022 North American tour to what appeared to be a sold-out crowd. In a way you could say this is in […]
Opening band, Dead Deads are a 3-piece rock band with clever hooks and up-tempo rock songs. They went over well with the audience as they worked their way through a 30-minute set of all original music. They […]
Steel Panther is currently on the road on their re-erection tour. They made a stop at the Fillmore last night and played in front of a packed crowd. You can tell the band was so incredibly […]
Newcomer Lola Colette started out the night with a slow song working into a more upbeat set. She has a very good voice, and the songs are solid. Although she lost me with her […]
