Thanks to Tyler, Dean and Dave from Theory of a Deadman for stepping into the 96ROCK studio today to hang out, badmouth Joe, their drummer who doesn't come to 'these kinda things'....These guys are a class act, and I'm not just saying that.....They sounded great ...click below and hear it for yourself in case you missed it.....See you at Bogart's tonite....hope i don't get shot.

So Happy - Live from the palatial 96ROCK studios

Santa Monica - They actually played this one first but computers are magic so it's listed second....

Today I was freaking out over the vending machine.  I beg all vending machinists to heed my call: Please don't put the Little Debbie Nutty Bars so far up in the racks, because when I order them they are forced to take a 9 story plunge to their crumbly death below in the collection tray!!!

Then I started thinking: Little Debbie Suicide would be a cool name for a band, as would Five Card Charile Brown Eye and the ever popular Jack Atherton's Hair....

How 'bout you? If you had any talent and could form a band, what would you call it?  Discuss you knuckleheads....Can't wait to read 'em

I owe Eddie Van Halen and apology.  I was pissed at him these past few years for allowing his demons to obscure his talent and his ability.  Last night at US Bank Arena I spent two hours with a smile plastered on my face watching the guy flawlessly execute some of the most important riffs of his life...and mine.  i don't know if it was the fingerwork, the grin or the sounds that only his guitar can make but I was transoported back to a time when the only thing that mattered were 'bras' - my getting into my girlfriend's bra - and out of Algebra.  I wasn't alone.

Everybody knows that David Lee Roth should be a Ringling Brothers ringmaster - including Dave.  But to see those guys on that stage actually putting aside a couple of decades of bullshit to give everyone in that arena what they came for was as refreshing a concert experience as I've had in a long time....The DVD of this show should be required viewing for bands trying to figure o ...

What a lineup of shows we've got coming to the area this summer, eh?  Now, the question is...how many of them can you afford to actually attend....?

To their credit, the Motley Crue guys got it right....[i know it's the promoter who did it, I would just rather give the band the credit] - 4 lawn seats for 99$...not bad....but still.....

With gas prices approaching MILK levels and everything else pounding on your paycheck the way that it is, I want to know:  How many shows will you really be able to see this season?

Which one do you want to see most that you will probably have to pass on because of price or lack of disposable income....

Just curious..

See you at the show....maybe

I was checking out Sister Karen's blog and she brought up an interesting topic; what's that band that disappointed you the most when you went to see them live.....

I, too, have a similar question:  Who is the band you've become the most disappointed in over the years.....period.

Mine? Red Hot Chili Peppers.....Old school Peppers put out some of the most challenging music I had ever heard.  Honestly, I can barely stomach anything they've done in the past 15 years. 

Apparently I'm in the minority because they still get the shit played out of the 'post '95' offering; here and elsewhere.

So...Now it's your turn.....who do YOU think had it and lost it.....

Rock On.......Fin

Really....Leave him alone...In a 6'x8' cell....for a long time....What a tool! - There's probably not much more to be said about this further embarrassment to an already reeling franchise.  This loser was begin paid over half a million dollars to, let's see, what was it again-- find a cure for cancer? no, that's not it...um....transport meds into third world countries? nope.....Oh yeah, I remember...to CATCH A FOOTBALL - which he didn't even do very well last year.

MEANWHILE - Captain Robin Broxterman and Brian Schira, two Colerain firefighters were tragically killed on Friday saving the lives of two people in their community; my guess is that they went to work for to work for a little less than half a mil a year - and didn't gripe about it....will be missed....

normally i wouldn't do this but dang......"rock hound" called me out in the 'what does karen look like' blog and i have to say, i'm devastated...not that i'd be described as a cross between buddha and jabba the hut, but that he thinks it's ME that watches 'The Oprah'......that's richard 'skinny' skinner from the 2 angry guys [weekday mornings 6-10 right here on the ROCK]

....let's get that straight right now!!

now...i'm off to watch markie post in the lifetime original movie: 'well, tie me up in my own tubes and call me ruth'.....thbthbthbthbthb!

rock on

It's a phrase that has different meanings depending upon the inflection and/or attitude with which it's spoken.  While 'what do YOU want' has often been lobbed at yours truly with a level of annoyance - [for instance, when i try to cop a feel from the Mrs.] - in this case it's an honest question about what YOU, the 96ROCKHEAD, wants. 

Aside from 'More Pantera, Dude' - I'd love to know what you're looking for in a radio station.  We all like to think we know - and the research companies that have cropped up over the past two decades love to charge us to tell us what the same few people each week tell them THEY want - but here it is...out in the open.....what DO you want?  I'm curious... Do you give a shit about 10 in a row THIS or long blocks of THAT?

Hell, you don't even have to confine your comments to radio....You can feel free to let it all hang out and tell me what you want with regard to anything - unle ... Read More »
