John 5 and The Creatures Tupelo Music Hall Derry, New Hampshire April 6, 2017 Let me start this off my telling you, if you are going to see his show expecting it to be a rehash of a Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson show, full of nothing but John 5 doing their tunes, you’re in for a butt load of disappointment. John 5 will be in his trademark make up, that’s about it. This show is for the die hard guitar fan and very far from being a disappointment. Joining John for this small tour is Ian Ross on bass and Rodger Carter on drums. John 5Read More →

POISON Mohegan Sun Casino Arena Uncasville, Connecticut April 13, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It was nothing but a good time at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 12th when Poison took the stage for their third show as part of the 2017 reunion tour, along with Tesla and Def Leppard. It was clear that there the crowd was loaded with Poison fans to watch this long awaited reunion. Fans had donned their Poison concert shirts, new ones and the worn and faded ones from concerts of years past. 2017 should be noted as the year that Poison reunited with the all original lineRead More →

John Corabi The Cannery Music Hall Southbridge, Massachusetts March 26, 2017 Just over the Connecticut border into Massachusetts is a nice little music venue named The Cannery Music Hall. A cozy little hall with a terrific staff and great lighting, I seem to be spending a lot of my lately north of the border, but it has been well worth it and this evening was no different. John Corabi is the vocalist for the group “The Dead Daisies”, which also includes other heavy hitters such as David Lowy, Doug Aldrich, Marco Mendoza, and Brian Tichy. Unfortunately, John is most known for his time as theRead More →

Blood Lust Death Tour 2017 | Dope and Combichrist With Davey Suicide and September Mourning The Palladium Worcester MA March 24, 2017 Once again I travel north of the border and venture into the city of Worcester, this time to catch Dope and Combichrist at The Palladium. The Palladium actually has two stages, the main stage, which is apparently also known as the downstairs and then a smaller known as the upstairs. Tonight’s show was being in the upstairs. Much like the Webster in Hartford with its Underground or the The Chance with its Loft, these are smaller areas that can accommodate only a fewRead More →

OVERKILL The Palladium Worcester, Massachusetts March 10, 2017 It is always a pain in the ass when I can’t get out of work early on a day I plan on going to a show, and this day was no different. I got out at 5:00, met up with my brother in law and then drove almost 2 hours to get to the Palladium in Worcester, to catch one of my favorite thrash bands from the 80s, Overkill. Unfortunately, I didn’t get there in time to catch all the local acts that were laying the foundation for tonight’s show, but I did get there in timeRead More →

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD Twin River Casino Event Center Lincoln, Rhode Island February 17, 2017 Photos & Review by Dan Wenc It was a night of getting back to the roots of classic American Rock N’ Roll and the enjoyment of real music and songs that have spanned decades.

ALTER BRIDGE House of Blues Boston, Massachusetts February 7, 2017 Another trip into Boston, another rainy cold miserable night. One that has finally caught up with me and I have more than merch to keep this show in my thoughts, at the least the merch isn’t wreaking havoc with my head and sinuses. My first trip to the House of Blues wasn’t that bad. A nice venue with a lot of room and plenty of bars, and drink prices weren’t too bad. The night started earlier then I was expecting, with the opening band taking the stage at 7:15 and not 7:30 like advertised, soRead More →
