  I had no intention of even going to this concert until I found out that my friend's band was the opener. I got free tickets!    Ratt. They were big in the 80's. I was a huge fan of their "Out of The Cellar" LP. "Round And Round", "Lack Of Communication", "Back For More", "Wanted Man", all great tunes. That was 1984. Their next effort, "Invasion Of Your Privacy" was a bit light for my tastes as I had since discovered Anthrax and Metallica. ... Read More

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Rockin' On The River - Clarkston, WA Words/Photos by thenaturalstoner   From all accounts Clarkston, Washingtons annual Rockin' on the River, this year headlined by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, was a hugely intoxicated day of classic rock and roll. Rocking the LC Valley with all her hits including "I Love Rock and Roll", "Crimson and Clover", "Bad Reputation", and a fun version of The Replacements "Androgynous", Jett showed Clarkston, Washington a real good (albeit kinda weird) time.

David Gilmour & Roger Waters Unite in the United Kingdom   I received a text late yesterday from our very own TheNaturalStoner.  It simply said: “David Gilmour and Roger Waters reunited last night.  4 songs at some benefit!” Indeed, the famously feuding duo came together and performed some classics in front of an audience of 200 well off music lovers at Kidlington in Oxfordshire, England.  Per various websites including Rock It Out! Blog - the event raised £350,000 for the charity   Accoding to PinkFloydz.com - no recordings ... Read More

Sir Paul McCartney 07/10/10 AT&T Park - San Francisco, CA Words by Bellaluna/Photos by Dan V Let me begin by saying, although I'm not a huge fan of Paul McCartney, a mediate fan rather, last night's concert in San Francisco has elevated my interest in him. For being almost 70 years old, he still rocks and sounds totally awesome! First- the fans, I was amazed by them and the diverse age ranges, from teenage to 70's, they all clearly loved him. While waiting in the line ... Read More

(This review was originally published on MTVnews.com in June 2008) In 1993 I walked from my parents’ house to the only music store in San Carlos, California. The store was called Rod’s Records Videos & Tapes, and on one warm summer day I slapped my hard-earned Hamilton down on the counter. In exchange for the cash that I had earned sweating away over the lawn mowing and bathroom cleaning, I was handed a cassette tape by Stone Temple Pilots called Core. I removed ... Read More
